Chapter: 5451

Long Zhiqi replied immediately, "Okay, Master, please wait a minute. I'll finish my last round of Qigong exercises before coming to see you."

Hong Changqing knew his disciple was a bit eccentric, so he didn't pressure him, just saying, "Don't take too long, my master has an honored guest waiting to be introduced to you."

As he spoke, a woman's voice came through the phone, saying: "Ah... okay..."

Then she replied in a relaxed tone: "Alright, Master, please wait for just a moment. I'll finish my last round of Qigong exercises before coming to see you."

Ye Chen heard the woman's voice on the phone and curiously asked: "Hong Tianshi, is your direct disciple a woman?"

"Yes," Hong Changqing said. "I told Ye Shifu that we don't have any clear requirements for the gender of our next-generation patriarchs. Each patriarch can choose their own successor based on their personal preferences, as long as the chosen successor's cultivation doesn't fall behind that of other disciples. If this is the case, then this direct disciple has the qualification to inherit the mantle and has been a precedent in the history of Tai Shen Tao."

As he continued introducing his direct disciple, "This person was born with exceptionally strong aptitude, and her father even has some connection with us at Tai Shen Tao. So I decided to accept her as my direct disciple. She is indeed very determined and has managed to cultivate herself into a five-star warrior by the time she was thirty."

Ye Chen smiled and nodded his head, teasingly saying: "Hong Tianshi, it seems that your direct disciple's abilities are even stronger than yours!"

Hong Changqing's expression immediately turned gloomy, murmuring to himself: "Ye Shifu... as my subordinate, I just wanted to tell you about this matter. You can't let my subordinate's abilities surpass those of his disciples, can you? Please help me recover my cultivation, and I'll be grateful to you for your mercy..."

Ye Chen looked at him with a pitiful expression, unable to help but laugh, then asked: "Have you already met your direct disciple? She didn't notice that your cultivation is lower than hers?"

Hong Changqing hastily replied: "Yes, Ye Shifu. Yesterday, I brought my direct disciple back home and she didn't notice anything about my cultivation... However, next time, I plan to pass on the last two sections of Tai Shen Tao's 'Tai Shen Hun Yuan Dao' to her and demonstrate the last two sections of breathing techniques. If you don't help me recover my cultivation, I'm afraid I'll be exposed..."

Ye Chen smiled and nodded his head again, saying: "Since that's the case, then I'll help you recover your cultivation to a six-star level. This way, your direct disciple will definitely not notice anything, and at most she might feel a bit uneasy in her heart, as if she thinks her teacher is somehow different."

Ye Chen knew that Hong Changqing was intentionally provoked, but at this moment, he couldn't help but smile and say: "Thank you, Master Ye... Thank you, Master Ye..."

For him, cultivating down to a four-star warrior was a catastrophic situation, and now Ye Chen was willing to give himself the opportunity to recover to a six-star level, which already felt like a great honor. He couldn't be too hasty; he could only wait for a good opportunity to show off and strive to recover his cultivation as soon as possible.

Ye Chen had previously sealed Hong Changqing's four meridians with spiritual energy, which was an effortless task for him, but this kind of seal was absolutely unbreakable for Hong Changqing.

So, Ye Chen simply waved his hand slightly and effortlessly reopened the two sealed meridians.

Hong Changqing suddenly felt a sense of clarity in his meridians and finally let out a sigh of relief. He then bowed respectfully and said: "Thank you, Master Ye!"

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

Hong Changqing said: "Master Ye, it seems that my subordinate's apprentice has arrived. Please wait for a moment."

Ye Chen nodded slightly, and Hong Changqing quickly ran to the entrance and opened the door.

At this moment, the tall and slender Lu Songzi, wearing a Daoist robe, was standing outside the door, seeing Hong Changqing and saying respectfully: "Master Ye!"

Hong Changqing flashed over to come, saying: "Lu Songzi, come in quickly. I'll introduce you to a young and capable master who is revered by my teacher."

"What kind of master?" Lu Songzi asked with some surprise. She had always wondered what Master Ye wanted her to do, since he called her all the way from America without explanation.

As she heard that Master Ye was going to introduce her to a young and capable master, Lu Songzi's doubts grew stronger. Was this the reason why Master Ye called her to Jinling?

Full of curiosity, she followed Hong Changqing into the room, entering the living room where she saw Ye Chen sitting on the sofa. JrNovels.com
