Chapter 285: Ye Qing’s Invitation (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Even the teachers were eager to be Ye Qing’s disciples, let alone ordinary students from the Herbalist Division like Shen Yanxiao.
However, no matter how many people would like to stick to Ye Qing like glue, he had rejected all of them. Ye Qing did not even have any intention of recruiting an a.s.sistant. Alas, he had made the offer to Shen Yanxiao.
Pu Lisi nearly spat out blood. He had also wanted to become Ye Qing’s disciple!
Everyone knew that Ye Qing was only a step away from becoming a Grandmaster Herbalist. Even though they were both Great Herbalists, the wide gap between their achievements was too wide for Pu Lisi to bridge.
Pu Lisi was already satisfied if he could get a word or two of guidance from Ye Qing. However, Ye Qing had wanted to take the little kid as his disciple!
How was that even reasonable?
Shangguan Xiao, who stood at the side, felt even more complicated than Pu Lisi. It was an amazing feat for him to pa.s.s the test to become Pu Lisi’s disciple, and he knew about the scary gap between Pu Lisi and Ye Qing’s accomplishments.
He thought about how complacent he was when Pu Lisi accepted him as a disciple and compared it to the situation at that moment.
The plain kid had actually attracted the attention of the top herbalist in the Longxuan Empire. He was so vexed about the situation that he thought he would die from it.
Shen Yanxiao was also surprised by the offer. She was ready to leave when she rejected Pu Lisi’s offer. She did not expect Ye Qing to offer her another invitation.
Shen Yanxiao found it hard to reject the kind-looking old man’s invitation. Furthermore, she knew that Ye Qing was the more accomplished herbalist amongst the two.
She also knew that Ye Qing had a gentle temperament, and thus, she decided that he was worthy of the status of a great master!
Shen Yanxiao stole a quick look at Pu Lisi, and she noticed how his lips twitched. She smiled at Ye Qing and said, “It is my honor and pleasure to obtain a favor from Great Master Ye Qing.”
Shen Yanxiao readily accepted Ye Qing’s invitation.
Pu Lisi wanted to barf blood from his anger.
Ye Qing smiled gently at her. It seemed as if he was in a good mood.
“Luo De, this young lad shall follow me from now onward. He won’t be attending cla.s.ses at the Herbalist Division for the time being. Please inform his teachers about this matter.” Even though Ye Qing was highly respected, everyone praised him because of how he would cater to all things whenever he wanted to do something.
“Of course!” Luo De’s heart beat wildly. He never expected that Shen Yanxiao was so fortunate that Ye Qing would take her as a disciple!
It was way unexpected, and it had far exceeded his expectations.
With her talents and Ye Qing’s tutelage, Shen Yanxiao would, no doubt, propel to an Advanced Herbalist in no time at all. Luo De would feel exceptionally proud if she were fortunate enough to become a Great Herbalist.
After all, Shen Yanxiao was a prodigy that he had personally discovered.
Ye Qing smiled. He lowered his body to look at the pet.i.te Shen Yanxiao and said, “You will be following me in the future, are you prepared to suffer hards.h.i.+ps? I have very strict requirements.”
Shen Yanxiao revealed a faint smile and said, “I will certainly give it my all and will try my very best not to let Great Master Ye Qing’s expectations down.”
It was, of course, for the best if she could stay in the library to research the Blood Banquet Potion. Furthermore, those Great Herbalists seemed to have obtained more detailed conclusions for their research as compared to her own studies. She also found Ye Qing’s personality far more agreeable than Pu Lisi.
Ye Qing nodded and realized that he found Shen Yanxiao got even more pleasing to the eye.
