Chapter 66

"You don't have to make a decision immediately. It's best to think it over. Once you make a choice, it will be hard to change your mind," Li Yi said calmly.

The two options Li Yi gave were to become his disciple or to be self-reliant. Wu Simeng felt that this couldn't really be called a choice; even a fool would know to choose to become a disciple!

Thinking about her poor performance earlier, Wu Simeng stepped forward and hugged Li Yi's legs, pleading, "Master, there's no need to think. Mengmeng only wishes to be your disciple. Please accept me!"

Seeing Wu Simeng's sincere plea, Li Yi nodded and said, "Alright, I agree to take you as my disciple. However, you can still change your mind within the day."

"Mengmeng will never change her mind!" Wu Simeng said as she bowed to the ground.

In the martial world, respecting one's master and valuing the path is paramount, with the rule that "a day as a master is a lifetime as a father." Wu Simeng had learned these principles from her father, and they were deeply rooted in her mind. Therefore, she performed the nine-kowtow grand ceremony.

Li Yi didn't stop her. After she finished the ceremony, he helped her up and pressed his hand on her forehead, saying, "As my disciple, you must be prepared to dedicate everything to your master, including your body, soul, and even your life. Can you do that?"

Wu Simeng felt this requirement was a bit strange, but this wasn't the time to hesitate. She steeled herself and said, "To dedicate everything to the master is the disciple's duty!"

"Good, you must always remember your words," Li Yi nodded.

In nature, there are tigers and lions, the mighty rulers, and there are also herbivores like cows, horses, and sheep, which can only flee when faced with predators. There are also trees and flowers, which can only stand still and be cut down. This is the diverse natural world, where different creatures have different ways of survival.

Human society is also a small natural world, where different people are suited to different roles. Some are strong and competitive, wise and strategic, suitable for leadership. Some are weak and compliant, diligent and hardworking, suitable for labor. Some are cunning and smooth, adept at all things, suitable for business.

Through Wu Simeng's brainwave changes, Li Yi observed her personality and found that she wasn't the type who could stand on her own or be a pioneer. Instead, she was somewhat rigid and inflexible.

The reason she could practice martial arts well was entirely to meet her father's requirements. Her greatest strength was her ability to diligently complete tasks assigned by superiors and do them perfectly.

However, there are many people who can follow orders, but few who can be loyal, think hard, and perfectly complete tasks. Therefore, Li Yi decided to take Wu Simeng under his wing.

Taking her under his wing wasn't the same as making her a disciple. Li Yi was talking about discipleship to respect her ancient way of thinking. What he really needed was a bodyguard, a loyal and obedient personal bodyguard. This was why he set these requirements for her.

"My little disciple, that's enough for today. In the future, read more books and learn more cultural knowledge. Don't practice anymore; it's useless. I'll find you when the time is right," Li Yi said as he turned and drifted away.

"Huh?" Wu Simeng looked at Li Yi's back, speechless.

Since the master had already agreed to take her as a disciple, shouldn't he teach her some techniques? Why would he tell her to study more and not practice? Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?

But since Li Yi had given the order, she couldn't argue, as he was her master.

Then she saw Li Yi get into a BMW parked by the roadside and drive away, her eyes widening in surprise.

How could a senior who could use divine transformation and change into anyone be driving a BMW early in the morning?

"Taking away my spirit-enhancing talisman and not letting me practice..."

In her shock, Wu Simeng recalled his words and suddenly felt deceived. If Li Yi were really that female cultivator, he wouldn't have forbidden her from practicing!

The girl sat on the ground, feeling dejected, thinking that this morning had been a disaster. She had lost a talisman that could increase her cultivation speed by several times and had performed the nine-kowtow grand ceremony to an unknown person...

"There can't be so many great people in the world, and all of them just happen to meet me. Meeting one is already a stroke of luck. This person must be that female cultivator. She's probably still testing me. I must not waver in my loyalty to my master."

Although she tried to comfort herself, her heart was still uneasy. After a long time, she said, "No matter what, I've already become a disciple. A day as a master is a lifetime as a father. It's too late to change my mind... Besides, he must be a great person. Having a great person as a master, I won't lose anything, no matter who he is!"

Li Yi, of course, didn't care what Wu Simeng thought. For him, freeing Wu Simeng from the fate of becoming a primitive spirit energy collector and making her his bodyguard was a great kindness. He would soon make the girl understand this.

The BMW sped home, and Li Yi saw that Lin Ruyu and Lin Ruxue were already up and making breakfast, while Li Ting was still lying in bed, a piece of paper stuck to her face.

"Meow!" Mi Ke immediately jumped onto Li Yi's shoulder as soon as she saw him.

Yesterday, after Mi Ke got drunk, Li Yi put her in a box and placed it under the bed. Mi Ke had been hungry for several days and was weak, only waking up in the morning. When she woke up and saw the soup master and the breeding master, she was naturally terrified.

"Don't worry, there are no other cats in the house besides you," Li Yi petted Mi Ke's little head.

Mi Ke, hearing this, immediately remembered the scene where she was surrounded by a group of cats the day before, and her fur stood on end again.

"From now on, I can't stay too far from this bastard, or it will be too dangerous!" the kitten thought to herself.

"Little lazy pig, get up!" Lin Ruxue put the porridge on the table in the living room and went to the bed to call Li Ting. Then she saw the paper on Li Ting's face and laughed, "I was wrong, it's a little dog getting up!"

"I'm not a little dog, my brother is," Li Ting rubbed her sleepy eyes and then noticed the paper on her face, furious, "Li Yi, you bastard! Who told you to stick paper on my face!"

Li Yi laughed, "You said last night that whoever crossed the line would be a dog!"

Li Ting's face turned red, and she quickly rolled to the right side of the bed, shouting, "I didn't cross the line!"

"Stop pretending, the blanket you're using is mine," Li Yi pointed to her.

Li Ting looked down and was shocked, "What's going on? Why am I using your blanket?"

"Are you going to ask me? Last night, you kicked your blanket away and then crawled into my bed!"

"Nonsense!" Li Ting, her face red, got up and dressed, and then the family gathered around the table.

Because her son had become a billionaire, Lin Ruyu finally decided to quit her job. Li Yi's task for her was to apply for a patent for the anti-cancer drug and to oversee the establishment of the biopharmaceutical company. Lin Ruxue also quit her job at the design institute and was responsible for setting up the mechanical company.

"What about me?" Li Ting asked, her eyes wide.

"You can play at school for a few days. Once the company is on track, come and be my secretary."

"Like I'd be your secretary," Li Ting muttered.

"Xiao Yi, I'm just a doctor, good at performing surgery. How can I run a company?" Lin Ruyu said, looking worried.
