Chapter 197 An Immortal Descended to Mortal World 2

Standing at the foot of the archway, Ye Fan was just about to look for Mr. Ye when he heard someone call out to him. He turned around and saw Instructor Wu waving at him.

He bowed respectfully to Instructor Wu. When Ye Fan saw Instructor Wu make a gesture to follow him, he immediately caught up.

When they were far away from Jiyuan Town, Wu Qingce suddenly looked at him and said, “You’ve changed a lot since the first time I saw you.”

After hearing that, Ye Fan immediately bowed his head and cupped his hands. “Instructor Wu, I’ve offended you many times when we first met. Please forgive me for my rudeness…”

“That’s not what I’m talking about.” He waved his hand at Ye Fan, Wu Qingce continued, “We had a very good understanding of your situation before we came here. Or rather, it’s because we knew about your situation that we came to find you. So, we can understand all of your actions.”

“The three of you… have you been observing me for a long time?” Ye Fan asked tentatively.

“No really. You’ll get the answer later.” Wu Qingce then asked, “Do you still remember that I told you that you’re very similar to the past me?”

“The words are still ringing in my ears.”

“I also experienced similar change as you do now. The hostility in your mind slowly disappeared, and you’ve regained your self-image. You’re really very similar to me.”

“Hostility…”

Upon hearing these this word, Ye Fan somewhat understood what Instructor Wu meant by the change in him.

As he continued to walk forward, Wu Qingce’s heart started to beat a little faster when he saw Ye Fan who kept looking at him.

“There’s still a long way to go… I’ve already said all my lines. What if he asks me something again? How should I answer him?” Wu Qingce was really worried as he thought.

Unfortunately, anything that could go wrong would go wrong. Ye Fan asked again after hesitating for a while, “Instructor Wu, can you tell me about your past?”

Not having the confidence to answer the unexpected question, Wu Qingce turned his head to look at Ye Fan and revealed a smile before turning his head back.

He didn’t say anything and pretended to be an expert!

Seeing that Instructor Wu didn’t reply, Ye Fan panicked and felt that he shouldn’t have asked any more questions. He hurriedly apologized and said, “I was rude. I shouldn’t casually ask about your past.”

However, Instructor Wu still didn’t say a word.

This made Ye Fan fall into deep thought.

“Did Instructor Wu mean that the past is the past, and there’s no point of bringing it up again? Does he want me to say goodbye to my past life”?

While Ye Fan was deep in thought, he suddenly saw someone walking toward him in front of him. It was Mr. Song, who was wearing a red robe.

Seeing Gu Qinghuan arrive, Wu Qingce heaved a sigh of relief. He had almost lost his composure just now.

“I heard your answer.” Gu Qinghuan said directly as soon as he arrived.

“I’m not very talented. I’m sure I have disappointed all of you.” Ye Fan replied shamefully.

Gu Qinghuan shook his head, he answered, “No, I think it’s a good answer. You haven’t seen much yet, and you have a lot to learn. I believe that as long as you continue to be an apprentice, you will be able to re-examine your past and future.”

After hearing this, Ye Fan suddenly felt that the things that he had once engraved in his heart had suddenly become insignificant. In the past, he would never have cared about those small things.

He continued to walk forward until he came to the bottom of a hill. Luo Wenzhou, who had been waiting there for a long time, looked at Ye Fan and asked, “What have you learned and understood along the way?”.

At this moment, Ye Fan suddenly realized that from the moment he left Jiyuan Town, these three gentlemen had already tried to teach him something.

“Yes. The words of these two gentlemen were inspiring, allowing me to re-examine my own life.”

After saying that, Ye Fan bowed to the three of them and said, “Thank you, gentlemen. I will definitely remember your teachings in my heart.”

Nodding his head in satisfaction, Luo Wenzhou said, “It seems that you have already understood. Come, follow me up.”

Raising his head and looking up, Ye Fan took a deep breath and took the most determined step.

The moment the three gentlemen climbed up the slope, Ye Fan was stunned. There was actually another person on the top of the slope, a person he had never seen before.

It was a delicate and indifferent face. His long eyelashes seemed to cast a thick shadow under his eyes. A pair of dazzling black eyes that seemed to be able to see through all the sadness in his past and present life. It made Ye Fan feel that he had nowhere to hide.

His green robe also looked very unusual. It was embroidered with complicated and gorgeous grayish-green patterns with rolling edges, matching the simple bamboo hairpin on his head. His originally loose hair was tied up by half by the bamboo hairpin. The rest of his hair fell to his shoulders and reached to his waist.

The seemingly casual sitting posture was so natural, as if a immortal had descended to the mortal world.

Ye Fan was about to ask who that person was. Then, he saw the three gentlemen walk up to that person and kneel down on one knee, shouting, “Master, he’s here.”

“Master!?” The way they addressed the strange man greatly shocked Ye Fan’s young mind. Because he felt that the person in front of him was not old and might not even 20 years old. He originally thought that this was another gentleman with strong abilities, but he did not expect that he was actually three misters’ master!

Numb.

Ye Fan felt his body go numb. The impact of the scene in front of him was too great. He originally thought that these three gentlemen were trying to recruit him, and that this organization was filled with people like them, who were favored by the heavens.

But he did not expect that these three powerful people actually had the same master! “Could this master be a immortal that descended to the mortal world?!”

With a bang, Ye Fan involuntarily knelt down. The aura of the ‘immortal’ that even the three gentlemen had to kneel down to was too strong, making him feel that he didn’t have the qualifications to stand.

Seeing Ye Fan suddenly kneel down, Jiang Beiran was also a little dumbfounded, “I haven’t even started acting yet? Why are you kneeling down?”

This made Jiang Beiran feel that his plan was a little disrupted, but it was not important. Ye Fan’s performance at this moment showed that his previous preparations were very successful. Then, wouldn’t it be easy to brainwash this young man?

Nodding, Jiang Beiran said, “You did well. Get

up.”

“Yes.”

Wu Qingce and the other two answered at the same time and stood beside Jiang Beiran.

Then, they glanced at Ye Fan and Jiang Beiran took out the Ruyi Fortune Bucket and shook

it.

Hearing the cracking sounds from the stick, Ye Fan quietly raised his head and glanced at Jiang Beiran. He was wondering what kind of fate awaited him.

Soon, a golden stick was shaken out. At the same time, Ye Fan felt his heart shake!

When Mr. Lin had told him that the three of them had come for him, he had a feeling that he had been chosen. But that feeling was far less intense than it was now. He even felt that the stick had fallen out for him.

Grabbing the stick, Jiang Beiran said leisurely, “As expected, no matter how many times I draw, it always shows that the will of heaven bestow on you.”

“The will of heaven bestow on me!?”

Ye Fan’s breathing unconsciously quickened. These four words meant a lot to him.

He had complained countless times that the heavens were unfair. It gave him everything and then took everything away from him. But at this moment, he suddenly felt that all of this must be a test given to him by the heavens.

With a bang, Ye Fan fiercely knocked his head on the ground.

“This child is too honest. Why am I still doing this to him?”

When Jiang Beiran took the stick earlier, he had actually used his mind power to slightly hint at Ye Fan, but he did not expect the effect to be so off the charts. This child probably already worshipped him as a god now.

“Raise your head.”

Hearing Jiang Beiran’s voice, Ye Fan immediately raised his head.

Looking at Ye Fan’s extremely devout expression, Jiang Beiran said, “Ye Fan, do you want to say something?”

“Immortal, I beg you to take me as your disciple!” Ye Fan once again knocked his head on the ground.

“Immortal your a*s. I don’t want to ascend to heaven yet.”

However, just as Jiang Beiran was about to speak, two options appeared in front of him.

[ Option 1: Take Ye Fan as disciple. Reward: Heaven’s punishment (low tier heaven grade)]

[ Option 2: Reject Ye Fan. Completion Reward: Random Basic Skill Points + 1]

‘F*ck… These main characters always bring death to their brothers and masters. If I were to take in such a monster who could easily trigger the heaven-grade option, I’m afraid I would really go to heaven in the next second.”
