Earlier, when Mo Han claimed to be a respectful and diligent disciple, Jiang Xuan actually believed it, well, about thirty percent.
But now, the unexpected trickery from her had him completely dazed.
Coming back to reality, Jiang Xuan slowly said, “Mo Han, what’s this… I thought you were all about respecting your teacher?”
“What’s wrong? Isn’t Master willing? You can’t even give me a little reward.”
“I can’t see your sincerity, so fine, I won’t be a good disciple anymore. And if you happen to get bullied by other practitioners, don’t come crying to me for help.”
Jiang Xuan was stunned by her blatant threat. Then he managed to squeeze out a smile and replied, “No, no! I believe you’re a good disciple, I’ll promise!”
With that, Jiang Xuan, with a poker face, got to work.
Looking at those almost flawless little feet splashing in the water, Jiang Xuan seriously began cleaning them.
This was a piece of cake for him since one of the maxed-out skills given by the system included this one.
But he never had a chance to use it before.
Due to the skill being maxed out, Jiang Xuan nearly instinctively asked, “Is the water temperature okay?”
Meanwhile, Mo Han, seeing Jiang Xuan serve her without complaint, couldn’t help but smile smugly.
“Ah, Master, how have you fallen so low? Serving your disciple now, huh? Well, if you don’t give in, this secret realm will be tough for you. Smart choice.”
As she was speaking, Mo Han lifted Jiang Xuan’s chin a little.
“How does it feel to be bullied by your good disciple? Feeling kind of suffocated? In the past, no one could have enjoyed such service from a lofty Master like you. How about… you say a few nice words? Maybe I’ll go easy on you.”
But Jiang Xuan calmly replied, “Huh? Bullied? Not at all, my dear disciple! Have you forgotten something? You’re not in your original body right now. So, I’m actually serving the little girl named Xin Wan, and you can only shout sarcasm.”
Mo Han: “？？？？？？”
Mo Han was completely thrown off by Jiang Xuan’s words.
“Okay, okay! I didn’t expect you to be so sharp-tongued after abandoning the Unfeeling Dao.”
“I’m just speaking the truth. After all, your true self is just a wisp of soul, ready to vanish at any moment. As your Master, I feel very pained.”
“Why don’t you find a good successor, help them get stronger, and let them help you reshape your true self? I reckon the right successor is closer than you think.”
What Jiang Xuan really implied was that Mo Han needed to come to him for help.
His current strength was still too weak; others had powerful guardians and the like, which Jiang Xuan had always envied.
Even though he had the system as a golden finger, his system was way too unreliable.
The system always claimed that if Jiang Xuan was really in danger, it would step in.
But Jiang Xuan was still skeptical, considering that since he had known the system, it had only run away and dug pits for him.
If the system were to stop duping him a few times, he’d actually feel a bit relieved.
And now, an excellent opportunity lay before him. If he could manage to convince his former disciple to become his guardian, that would be a solid win!
When he ran into trouble with a bad woman, he could just leave it to his disciple to solve.
This operation would not only save the “pig teammate” Xin Wan but also give him control of this secret realm, even earning the protection of a Martial Saint’s remnant soul.
It was essentially a three-in-one deal! It made perfect sense for a disciple to protect their Master!
Just as Jiang Xuan calculated in his head, seeing Mo Han go silent, he continued, “Disciple, are you really doubting your Master? What are you hesitating for? Don’t worry, I promise that I will…”
Before he could finish, Mo Han suddenly interrupted, “Alright, since it’s your request, and considering I’m currently occupying this little girl’s body, I suppose I owe her some compensation. Don’t worry, I understand what you mean. I will let this little girl inherit the legacy later. Even though her cultivation is a bit weak, her talent is decent. With the legacy I give and my protection, she might just become a top-tier powerhouse in the future.”
Jiang Xuan: “？？？？？”
Realizing what she meant, Jiang Xuan hurriedly interjected, “You’re not getting the point! I think you completely misunderstood! Didn’t you say you’d give the legacy to me?”
“Mo Han, you must know… this is the moment when your Master is weak and needs your help the most…”
“Hold on, didn’t you just say you didn’t care about the legacy I left behind? What is that supposed to mean?”
“Plus, since you know my identity, it means you’ve regained your memory. So you don’t need the legacy at all.”
Jiang Xuan: “…….”
Of course, Jiang Xuan had not regained any memory, but he realized there was a misunderstanding from Mo Han’s words.
Then, with a smirk, he put on a flattering expression, “Disciple, I don’t mind you giving the Martial Saint legacy to Xin Wan, no objections there! But what if you stayed by my side as my guardian afterward?”
Mo Han: “？？？？？”
“Master, are you saying you need this weakest little disciple to protect you? Has your real strength dropped to this level? Since you said that, I’ll rest easy. It seems that power you showed before was a one-time thing, right?”
Jiang Xuan: “？？？？？”
“Good disciple, are you implying that…”
“Stop! I’m no longer your good disciple! Master, you taught me that weakness is the original sin of everything. A weak Master doesn’t deserve to have a good disciple like me.”
“I used to think you were just hiding your strength, so I didn’t dare to push you too hard. But you shouldn’t expose your weakness in front of me!”
After that, Mo Han kicked over the wooden basin, stood up straight and looked down at Jiang Xuan.
“A weak Master like you shouldn’t be left to be bullied by those bad women. Let me take care of you instead! So, do you want to beg me to be your guardian? That’ll depend on how sincere you are!”
Jiang Xuan: “！！！！！！”
