265 Apprenticeship
The old man was about to respond when he suddenly paused and looked at Kong Rui curiously. “You seem to be very concerned about that kid?”
Kong Rui immediately shook her head and said, “No! I just heard that he was once the number one genius of the five continents. How did he end up in such a state?”
The old man didn’t continue asking and only said, “That kid got injured somewhere. Although they put a lot of effort into his recuperation, they used poison techniques and forbidden techniques before he even recovered!”
“Forbidden technique?” Kong Rui’s eyes widened. “What forbidden technique?”
The poison technique Nie Yin used was probably the poison technique used on Hua Shang.
However, who had he used this forbidden technique on?
The old man didn’t intend to answer, but seeing that Kong Rui was asking anxiously, he said after some thought, “This forbidden technique is a little complicated. To put it simply, it’s a Resurrect Technique.”
“Resurrect?” Kong Rui’s eyes widened. “Resurrect who?”
The old man finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Why are you so concerned about that kid?”
“It’s not that I want to be nosy, but that kid is not a good man!”
“Don’t fall in love with that kid!”
Kong Rui was amused.
“You’ve misunderstood. I’m just a little curious about forbidden techniques!” Kong Rui randomly found an excuse.
The old man looked at Kong Rui meaningfully as he said, “That’s good!”
“I don’t know who they want to resurrect, but if that kid continues like this, I’m afraid he won’t have much time left!”
Of course, Kong Rui didn’t care about Nie Yin, but why would Nie Yin know about the Resurrect Technique?
Other than the Li family, only…
Kong Rui was suddenly stunned and thought to herself, “Could this be the reason why Nie Yin poisoned Hua Shang?”
Kong Rui’s stunned expression made the old man puzzled again. “Little girl, do you really not have any feelings for Nie Yin?”
Kong Rui denied without hesitation, “Of course not! I despise that kind of person the most!”
Although the old man didn’t know what kind of person Kong Rui was talking about, he was relieved as long as she didn’t fancy Nie Yin!
Although he couldn’t take Kong Rui in as his disciple immediately, the old man didn’t plan to let Kong Rui off just like that.
“Here, this is the jade archive that I always carry with me. Keep it as a greeting gift from me!” As the old man spoke, he took out a small white jade tablet from his clothes once again.
Kong Rui hesitated about whether to accept the jade tablet.
Seeing this, the old man stuffed it into Kong Rui’s hand. “From now on, you’re my disciple. If anyone bullies you, I’ll avenge you!”
When Kong Rui recalled how the old man had helped her out today, she hesitated for a moment before putting the jade tablet in her hand. “Thank you for the gift, mentor!”
As Kong Rui spoke, she was about to kneel and bow.
The old man grabbed Kong Rui’s hands with one hand and scooped her up. “Sigh! Don’t do such nonsense! I hate these unnecessary formalities the most!”
“I still have some things to deal with, so I can’t teach you anything at the moment.”
“You just have to master that mental cultivation technique first!”
“Thank you, mentor!” Kong Rui bowed.
This time, the old man didn’t object. He looked at Ding Mao, who had left with the guard, as he lamented, “Sigh, why was I blind as to accept such a useless disciple?!”
Seeing the old man’s pained expression, Kong Rui immediately felt that her “senior brother” was a little pitiful.
Kong Rui bid farewell to the old man and returned to Fragrant Garden alone.
That evening, the waiter arrived at the inner courtyard of Fragrant Garden with familiarity. He couldn’t help but be curious when he saw that Fragrant Garden suddenly closed.
However, he didn’t dare to ask further, for fear that he would suffer again if he provoked this lady!
