Chapter 279: Then I Won’t Go
"Esteemed master, you are truly the epitome of grace and elegance, a jade tree facing the wind, with a majestic and heroic bearing. The moment I laid eyes on you, I was utterly subdued. The eminent master saved my life, for which I am eternally grateful. Please take me as your disciple, I am willing to serve you like an ox or a horse, without any complaints!"
Chen Fan looked at the young man, who was a few years his junior, and said with an amused and helpless smile, "I’m not any eminent master, and I don’t have plans to take on disciples. You should get up and head down the mountain quickly; your family must be anxious."
The young man gazed intently at Chen Fan, "To be able to deploy such a terrifying Sword Array, and to eliminate the Earth Fiend Sect’s scoundrels in the blink of an eye, if that’s not the work of a master, what is! Master, I must be honest, I have been searching for a great master like you for a long time. I beg you to accept me as your disciple. If you don’t agree, I will stay right here and never get up!"
Chen Fan raised an eyebrow and asked, "You can recognize a Sword Array? Seems like you have quite a background."
The young man said, "Eminent master, my name is Qi Heng, from the Qi Family of Lingnan’s Gang City. Truth be told, my family is also a Spells lineage, so I have some understanding of Formations."
"A person from Gang City in Lingnan?" Chen Fan said with slight surprise, "This place is tens of thousands of miles away from Gang City, how did you end up being captured here?"
Qi Heng showed a trace of embarrassment and said, "I... my father thinks I’m good for nothing and was forcing me to marry into another family as a son-in-law. I swore that I would become the disciple of an unmatched master to prove myself. For years I’ve been searching for such a master. Recently, someone told me there was a master residing in these mountains and offered to bring me here to become a disciple. Little did I know that person was from the Earth Fiend Sect sent to deceive people, and after I followed them here, I was locked up."
"Master, I beg you, you must accept me as your disciple. I have considered my own life, and I don’t want to become someone’s son-in-law!"
