28: Chapter 28: Everything was fine until suddenly he became a grandson?

[System detected the Host's unwavering loyalty to Revered Master, issuing a new mission: Flying in Tandem!]

[Flying in Tandem: A Revered Master for a day, a Revered Master for life! The Host must have, and can only have, Leng Qingshuang as their female Revered Master! Refuse Lu Lingyun's request to take you as a Disciple! Mission Completion Reward: Blueprint for the construction of Shuanghua Villa!]

Chen Yan: "ヾ ( ✿ ﾟ ▽ ﾟ ) ノ"

Even without the mission, he had intended to refuse anyway!

But who could refuse the rewards that came with the System?

Shuanghua Villa?

Just hearing the name, it sounded very suitable for Revered Master!

He immediately cupped his hands toward Lu Lingyun with an air of righteousness and said:

"Disciple thanks Senior for your great kindness!"

"But Disciple already has a Master, and Master Lu has been incredibly kind to me, just recently gifting me the priceless Purple Sun Fire to help me with my Foundation Establishment."

"As the saying goes, a Master for a day is a Master for life. Disciple would never change sects for the sake of mere material possessions!"

His words were resonant and powerful.

In this cultivation world where egoism prevails, it was simply like a breath of fresh air.

Lu Lingdan was so moved that tears streamed down his old face; he grabbed Chen Yan's shoulder and patted it vigorously.

"Good Disciple! Good Disciple!"

"Master truly didn't misjudge you! I didn't dote on you in vain!"

He rolled his eyes at Lu Lingyun and said smugly: "Did you see that, you brat? My Disciple and I have a deep bond!"

"Not like some vulgar people who only have money in their eyes, reeking of copper!"

Lu Lingyun was slightly stunned; she had offered such generous conditions, yet she was still refused so decisively.

This Chen Yan didn't even hesitate at all!

This really... makes me like him even more~~~

Her face was full of appreciation, while her eyes flashed with sharp light.

Disciples with top-tier Aptitude are easy to find, and there are also many with top-tier Heart-Nature!

But a Disciple who has both top-tier Aptitude and top-tier Heart-Nature is as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns!

No, no!

Originally I just wanted to tease Old Lu, but now I really want to take him in!

Her eyes rolled, and she chuckled, covering her mouth: "He is indeed a loyal and righteous lad."

"Since you are so insistent, it would be wrong for me to force you."

She waved her round fan, the corners of her mouth curling slightly.

After laying the groundwork for so long, she finally revealed her ultimate goal.

"Since you and I don't have the fate to be Revered Master and Disciple, how about I take you as my godson? That should be fine, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.

Leng Qingshuang's pretty face froze instantly.

Her face, usually as calm as an ancient well, was filled with astonishment.

What? What?

Grandma Lingyun wants to take my Rebellious Disciple as her godson?

Then, as his Revered Master, whenever I see this Rebellious Disciple in the future, will I have to call him... Uncle?

This hierarchy is a complete mess!

Lu Lingdan immediately lashed out:

"Lu Lingyun! Are you poisonous?"

"Qingshuang calls you Grandma, yet you want to take Qingshuang's Disciple as your godson?"

"You are going to mess up the entire hierarchy of the Taiqing Sword Sect!"

"Is Alchemy Peak not enough for you to play with? Are you starting to ruin the Ninth Peak now?"

Chen Yan was even more embarrassed, with black lines on his forehead, feeling as if a row of crows was flying over his head.

Why is this crazy woman endless!

A moment ago she wanted to take me as a Disciple, now she wants me to be her godson?

If I agree to this, wouldn't I become Revered Master's elder?

Hehe? That's kind of exciting to think about!

But Chen Yan only dared to think about it; he couldn't actually say it out loud. With a bitter face, he waved his hands at Lu Lingyun repeatedly:

"Um... Senior Lu, Disciple is only twenty years old this year."

"You are of noble status, while Disciple is but a person of humble standing; I am not worthy to be your godson!"

"If this gets out, it doesn't matter if people scold me for climbing the social ladder, but I don't want to tarnish your reputation!"

[Mission completed, congratulations to the Host for obtaining the reward: Construction Blueprint for Shuanghua Villa!]

Oh ho~

Blueprint acquired!

Then, can the love nest for me and Revered Master be far away?

Hearing Chen Yan's refusal, Lu Lingyun chuckled, not caring at all.

"That's true, Qingshuang calls me Grandma, so it is a bit inappropriate for you to be my godson."

She paused for a moment, tapped Chen Yan with her round fan, and giggled:

"Then be my grandson!"

"It just so happens that I'm missing a pleasing grandson. I think you are quite good, much more pleasing than that fatty Qian Duoduo."

"Alright! That's settled! Don't say anything more!"

She waved her fair hand, gathering up all the various treasures on the ground, leaving only a palm-sized purple gold Pill Furnace.

"Good grandson! This Pill Furnace shall be Grandma's welcome gift to you!"

Chen Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes dramatically.

Good grief!

As expected of a crazy woman; I haven't even agreed yet, and you're already calling me that?

In just this short amount of time, I've gone through a super multiplication... ah no, a super reduction in generation!

From Disciple to godson, and then to grandson?

He opened his mouth to refuse, but Lu Lingdan stepped in first, accepting the hierarchy for him:

"Forget it, forget it! A grandson is a grandson! At least this sounds a bit more reasonable!"

"Good Disciple, hurry up and greet her!"

"Huh?"

Chen Yan was completely stunned!

No, old man, are you playing me?

Am I still your Disciple?

Where was your righteous indignation from just now? What about your unyielding spirit?

How did I get sold out by you in just two or three sentences?

Everything was fine, and suddenly I became a grandson?

He turned to look at Revered Master, wanting Revered Master to uphold justice for him.

But he saw Leng Qingshuang also nodding, saying to Chen Yan indifferently: "Why haven't you greeted her yet?"

Chen Yan: "..."

"Grandma Lingyun has a domineer... free and easy personality. Once she makes up her mind, even nine oxen can't pull her back. You should coax her into leaving first!"

Suddenly, Leng Qingshuang's voice transmission entered his ears: "She is actually extremely protective of those she favors; being her grandson isn't a loss for you!"

Chen Yan was speechless; is this a question of whether it's a loss or not?

But now that both Revered Masters were helpless against Lu Lingyun, looking at Lu Lingyun's determined eyes, Chen Yan understood.

If he refused again, who knows what kind of madness this rich and powerful crazy woman would commit!

With no other choice, Chen Yan could only twitch the corner of his mouth, bite the bullet, and bow respectfully to Lu Lingyun:

"God... Grandma, how are you!"

After calling out this title, Chen Yan felt as if his integrity had shattered all over the floor.

But Lu Lingyun's charming face was blooming with a smile.

"Hey! Good grandson, so obedient!"

She shoved the Pill Furnace in her hand into Chen Yan's hands: "Take it!"

"This is an Earth Rank High Grade treasure furnace, you know~"

Thud!

The Pill Furnace, though only the size of a palm, felt heavy upon contact, and it suddenly slammed toward the ground!

Chen Yan was shocked, and hurriedly circulated his Cultivation Technique, barely managing to hold the Pill Furnace with both hands!

Holy crap? Why is it so heavy!

Feeling it carefully, he realized that this Pill Furnace actually weighed over ten thousand jin!

Seeing this, Lu Lingdan chuckled and said: "This is the Nine Dragon Flame Fire Furnace, weighing sixteen thousand jin; it can increase the success rate of refining Medicinal Pills below the sixth rank by two times!"

Chen Yan: "ᓫ ( ° ⌑ ° ) ǃ"

Below sixth rank, twice the success rate?

If this is added to his Yi Qi Alchemy Technique, wouldn't it be 100%?

He finally understood why, just a moment ago, when Lu Lingdan saw Lu Lingyun take out this Pill Furnace, his attitude immediately did a 180-degree turn!

Hehe~

Still a crafty old man, I like it~

After teaching Chen Yan the control incantations for the Pill Furnace, Lu Lingyun didn't stay long.

Giggling, she walked away, swaying her waist.

But just as she was about to leave, a voice as thin as a gossamer thread drilled into Chen Yan's ears.

"Chen Yan, in the past, that child Duoduo was ignorant, and his behavior was a bit reckless."

"Now that you have accepted the gift and acknowledged me as your grandmother, you two are brothers!"

"Don't hold onto the past anymore!"

"When I go back, I will teach him a good lesson, and in the future, he will definitely follow your lead!"

"Help Grandma discipline him well; at the very least, let him not naively think that in this Taiqing Sword Sect, Alchemy Peak is the only one that dominates!"

Chen Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and he gripped the Nine Dragon Flame Fire Furnace in his hands tightly.

After beating around the bush for so long, this was the true purpose of this Alchemy Peak big shot!

Is this planning ahead? Or paving the way for Qian Duoduo?

The corners of Chen Yan's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and he bowed respectfully to Lu Lingyun: "Goodbye, Grandma!"
