Chapter 257: The State Minister’s Disciple
Chu Sihan nodded slightly. He turned sideways and glanced at Lin Jiang, hinting for him to follow.
Gao Xu also noticed Lin Jiang, who was beside him, and his expression became a bit strange.
After entering the room and taking a seat, Gao Xu frowned and asked Chu Sihan, “Lad, you should be twenty this year, right?”
Chu Sihan nodded slightly.
“Have you married a wife?” Gao Xu asked again.
Chu Sihan chuckled. “If I was getting married, how can I not invite Uncle-Master to the wedding banquet?”
He did have a fiancée, but he had not married her yet.
When Gao Xu heard that, he glanced at Lin Jiang again, his expression complicated.
Lin Jiang felt that his gaze was a bit strange, and he was very puzzled.
“Why are you asking this, Uncle-Master?”
Chu Sihan picked up the teapot and poured three cups of tea. One was for Gao Xu, one for himself, and the other for Lin Jiang.
“Thank you, Lord Chu!”
Lin Jiang was overwhelmed by the favor and thanked him.
Gao Xu laughed dryly and said, “Nothing, I just haven’t seen you for too long. I was just asking casually.”
Chu Sihan nodded. “I came here today to ask for your help.”
“Speak.” Gao Xu almost blurted out.
His Senior Brother’s disciple had always had his own ideas. Usually, he was the one who asked for his help. Today, when he heard that he wanted to ask for his help instead, he was momentarily overwhelmed by the favor.
Only then did Chu Sihan introduce Lin Jiang and say, “This is Fourth Master Lin’s son. His qualifications are good. I want Uncle-Master to take him in as a disciple. Uncle-Master, what do you say?”
“h.e.l.lo, Hero Gao!” When Lin Jiang heard that, he hurriedly bowed and introduced himself. “I’m Lin Jiang. I’ve long heard of your great name!”
Gao Xu looked at Lin Jiang and sized him up before patting his chest.
“Yes, your body is quite strong. It seems like you’ve trained a lot.”
When Lin Jiang heard that, he scratched his head and smiled shyly.
Gao Xu looked at Chu Sihan and said, “Lad, you know that I don’t accept disciples.”
When Lin Jiang heard that, his expression froze and a hint of regret flashed across his eyes.
This result was within his expectations. However, he felt a little disappointed when he heard it with his own ears.
“However, since you asked me personally, I’ll reluctantly accept this kid as my disciple.”
When Lin Jiang, who was initially dejected, heard this, he immediately sat up straight with a delighted smile.
He stood up, flung his robe, and half-knelt on the ground. He bowed to Gao Xu and shouted, “Greetings, Master!”
“Hey~” Gao Xu pulled him up. “No hurry. Sit first.”
“Yes, Master!”
Gao Xu burst into laughter at his impatience.
“Is there anything else?”
He looked at Chu Sihan expectantly, but saw him shake his head regretfully.
“Alright.”
Gao Xu nodded slightly and smiled. “Speaking of which, you haven’t seen your master for a few years, right? He might enter the capital in two days. If you’re not in a hurry to return to Lin Jiang Mansion, you can wait a while.”
“Oh?” Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows. “Why did the old man suddenly want to come to the capital?”
“Your master is my Senior Brother, but he’s also the State Minister’s Junior Brother.”
Gao Xu frowned and said, “I met him in Beiyi Country not long ago. I heard him say something about demons and devils. He said he wanted to find the State Minister to discuss countermeasures. I don’t know much about these either.”
“Really?”
Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
He really did not know that Ye Luo had such an ident.i.ty.
No wonder the State Minister could persuade Ye Luo back then. It turned out that they were fellow disciples.
Gao Xu smiled and said, “Your master doesn’t mention this to outsiders. I only heard about it later. It’s normal that you don’t know.”
Chu Sihan smiled, indicating that he did not mind.
It seemed like the State Minister had already noticed the reappearance of demons. Should he meet the State Minister?
