Chapter 71

"Master Mu Wan, I am Li Tianming, I have come to see you."

"Master Mu Wan, are you there?"

"Master, I am going to Tianfu tomorrow, I came to ask about the situation with the Heavenly Masters."

Li Tianming knocked on the door, but there was no response for a long time.

However, the candles inside were lit, flickering, indicating that someone should be there.

He waited for a moment, but still no one responded.

After careful consideration, he could not just go in without understanding, so he gently pushed the door open and walked in.

Walking through the courtyard, he heard the sound of water from the side hall.

It turned out Master Mu Wan was bathing.

Li Tianming waited in the courtyard.

Not long after, the door of the side hall creaked open.

Under the moonlight, a tall woman wrapped in a bathrobe walked out.

The bathrobe was small, exposing large areas of her snow-white, smooth skin, with droplets still sliding down.

Under the bright moonlight, Master Mu Wan's long, wet hair clung to her back, and the alluring aura in the misty steam was undoubtedly the most beautiful scene of the night.

Li Tianming could only say, Master's charm is unparalleled.

Indeed, old ginger is still the spiciest!

Li Tianming had not lost his composure; he quickly turned his head and said, "Master, I came to inquire about the Heavenly Masters."

"Then ask." Li Tianming did not expect her to walk toward him, still wrapped in the bathrobe.

Before she even arrived, a fragrant aroma had already wafted over.

"Master, should I step back for a moment?" Li Tianming asked nervously.

"No need to step back. Li Tianming, you're too timid. I can look whenever I want."

A small yellow chicken popped its head out from his chest, watching Master Mu Wan with great interest.

"You're right, a real man shouldn't worry about being devoured by a master."

Master Mu Wan sat down next to him, reaching out to take the small yellow chicken and play with it.

"Show some respect to me." The small yellow chicken said arrogantly.

"So cute." Master Mu Wan's eyes sparkled.

"Master, Li Tianming told me he really wants to do some naughty things with you, but he doesn't have the courage." The small yellow chicken said with a mischievous smile.

"Damn it!" Li Tianming couldn't tolerate this anymore; he quickly snatched it away and stuffed it into the companion space.

"Do you really think that way?" After dealing with the small yellow chicken, he noticed Master Mu Wan looking at him with a smile.

"No, I am a gentleman, skilled in maintaining composure..." Li Tianming said.

"Can't a gentleman do naughty things?"

"..."

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Wait a moment."

She turned and stood up, swaying her beautiful figure as she walked into the bedroom.

Soon, the sound of rustling clothes could be heard, and she was dressed shortly after.

This made Li Tianming feel much better.

"Everyone outside is blind. You are such a pure young man, yet someone believes you would drug and molest others." Master Mu Wan sighed.

Although being described as pure was a bit embarrassing,

At least Master Mu Wan had guessed the truth and trusted him.

"I saw Mu Qingqing's expression when you became the first disciple today."

"This girl acts like a lotus flower, but she is vicious and cunning. You are quite lucky to meet such a girl."

Master Mu Wan patted his shoulder, sitting down next to him with her legs crossed.

"Unfortunately, not many people know her true nature." Li Tianming said.

"That's why I'm looking forward to it. Let's see what you can do next. Take care of yourself." Master Mu Wan reminded him.

"Thank you, Master."

"This list contains the current Heavenly Masters, a total of eighteen. Get to know them."

"Actually, just a glance is enough, because not everyone will be interested in you." Master Mu Wan looked at him with pity.

"What do you mean, Master?"

"I heard from Wei Zikun that he has already inquired, and no one has the intention of taking you as a disciple."

"So, you will likely be very embarrassed tomorrow."

"Since the establishment of our Yanhuang Academy, there has never been a first disciple who had to return to the academy for training because no Heavenly Master would take them. You will become a laughingstock. Congratulations."

Master Mu Wan said with a smile.

"Then it's their fault for not recognizing a world-class genius." Li Tianming said with a pout.

"Such confidence." Master Mu Wan couldn't help but look at him differently.

"Having Master by my side, my confidence naturally grows." Li Tianming smiled.

While talking, he was flipping through the list.

"That means we have a connection. Tianming, let me tell you, if no one takes you, I will take you as my disciple."

"Any resources I have, I will give to you, ensuring your treatment is no less than that of a Heavenly Master's disciple. In a couple of years, when I become a Heavenly Master, I will take you to Tianfu." Master Mu Wan suddenly said.

"Are you serious, Master?" Li Tianming looked up at her.

"Do I usually joke around?" Master Mu Wan asked in surprise.

"..."

It's not that she doesn't joke, but she jokes all the time...

But Li Tianming knew she was serious this time.

She was standing up for him and valued him.

"Thank you, Master." Li Tianming sincerely thanked her.

"No need to thank me. I value your youth, vigor, and good looks." Master Mu Wan licked her lips with a mischievous smile.

"Is that so? It seems I have to endure humiliation for my cultivation and offer my purity to Master." Li Tianming said.

"You little rascal, hurry up and read!" Master Mu Wan pinched his ear and laughed.

Li Tianming got a general idea.

He briefly looked through the profiles of the eighteen famous Heavenly Masters, including Zhao Tianchen, Feng Wuguang, Chen Feng, Liu Xuerao, Gao Yuanding, and Qin Shi, to have a clear understanding.

"Who is Mu Qingqing's master?" Li Tianming asked after finishing.

"Liu Xuerao, an old woman, shameless and a perfect match for Mu Qingqing, both are world-class lotus flowers." Master Mu Wan rolled her eyes.

"Does Master hate her so much? Could it be that she is prettier than you and stole your love?"

"Nonsense. Even if she were ten times more beautiful, she would still be nothing. A grain of sand trying to compare with the moon." Master Mu Wan said narcissistically.

Li Tianming smiled and continued reading, but he was puzzled and asked, "Master, is someone missing from this list?"

"How could that be? All eighteen Heavenly Masters are here, with detailed introductions. I personally compiled this for you." Master Mu Wan said.

Li Tianming noticed this because Liu Xuerao's introduction said, "A world-class ugly woman, absolutely do not become her disciple."

"Someone is indeed missing." Li Tianming said.

"Who?"

"Mu Yang." Li Tianming looked at her.

Master Mu Wan was stunned, then pinched Li Tianming's face and said, "Where did you hear his name? You fool."

"What do you mean, Master? Is there no Heavenly Master named Mu Yang?"

"There is, but my brother is now the Deputy Lord. In three years, he will officially become the Lord."

"Ever since he was designated as the next Lord of Tianfu by the old Lord a year ago, he no longer takes disciples." Master Mu Wan said proudly.

"Mu Yang, your brother? Deputy Lord?" Li Tianming was surprised.

"Are you stupid? In the entire Yanhuang Academy, only we two are surnamed Mu. It can't be my father, can it?" Master Mu Wan rolled her eyes.

"I didn't expect Master to have such a strong background, no wonder you are so arrogant in the academy..."

Li Tianming finally understood why Wei Zikun pursued her and treated her politely; she was Mu Yang's sister.

He remembered that Wei Jing seemed to know Master Mu Wan's name, so they might know each other.

"How can you talk like that? I am so gentle, and you describe me as arrogant."

"I was wrong." Li Tianming said.

He thought, Wei Jing probably didn't expect that this Mu Yang was not just a Heavenly Master but the Deputy Lord.

And the designated successor to the Lord of Tianfu by the old Lord.

He would be the new Lord in a few years.

What should he do?

"Master, do I still have a chance to become your brother's disciple? Can you use your influence? Maybe by being cute to him." Li Tianming asked.

"Forget it. Not even being cute, even peeing in front of him wouldn't work." Master Mu Wan said coldly.

Li Tianming was frustrated. If he couldn't become Mu Yang's disciple, it would be hard to meet the Lord of Tianfu.

Wei Jing couldn't hold out for too long.

He could only look at Master Mu Wan and think, "If it doesn't work, I'll tell Master Mu Wan that I am Wei Jing's son and ask her to pass the message to Deputy Lord Mu Yang."

If he couldn't become Mu Yang's disciple and was rejected by all the Heavenly Masters, becoming Master Mu Wan's disciple might still be a possibility...

Of course, it would be best to enter Tianfu.

Even if he chose any Heavenly Master, he could still be active in Tianfu.

Otherwise, being the first disciple would be meaningless if he couldn't enter Tianfu.

"My brother, you really shouldn't think about it. He currently has only three disciples, and these three might be his next Lord."

"To become his disciple, the requirements are extremely high. I remember the son of the Yanhuang Palace Lord wanted to be his disciple, but he was rejected." Master Mu Wan said bluntly.

"I see." Li Tianming understood the difficulty. He could only say that Wei Jing didn't expect Mu Yang to be so successful.

"His third disciple, you actually know." Master Mu Wan suddenly smiled.

"Who?"

"Lin Xiaoting."

Li Tianming had expected this. After obtaining the Holy Beast War Soul, his talent soared, and it was natural for the future Lord to value him.

As the current first genius of Tianfu, he should be the last disciple of the next Lord.

Even the son of the Yanhuang Palace Lord couldn't become Mu Yang's disciple, but Lin Xiaoting did.

Of course, it wasn't just because of the Holy Beast War Soul!

The next day was the day of the master selection. Li Tianming didn't expect that after understanding all this, he still had no clear plan.

"I'll recommend a few to you. Try your best, and maybe they will take you as a disciple." Master Mu Wan saw his helplessness and decided to help.

She mentioned a few names, which Li Tianming remembered. Everything would depend on his performance tomorrow.

Late at night, Li Tianming took the list back to study.

The next morning, Wei Zikun had already come to find him.

When he saw Wei Zikun, Li Tianming suddenly felt that his appearance was somewhat similar to his mother...

They had the same surname.

He had a thought that he never dared to have three years ago.

Could this Phoenix Hall Lord be his relative?
