Sky Defying Genius Cultivator
Chapter 29: Becoming a Second Elder Disciple?

Zhishu smiled slightly, "old sir is annoying, he thinks he is amazing for continuing to act cold to me. Heh, second elder, it's ruined already my good thoughts from you."

"Okay," Zhishu replied in a flat tone.

The elder then frowned, "you never learned manners, young lady?!"

"Why do elders talk like that? I've already answered the question you asked," Zhishu replied in annoyance, but still with controlled emotions.

Before the matter became even bigger, the Emperor opened his voice, "old elder, this young girl named Zhishu did not use any demonic techniques.She managed to rise 4 levels at once because she was a person with a Yin body, didn't the elder already know about that?"

"I already knew that fact.But what made me feel awkward, where did he get such abundant Yin energy that he could rise 4 levels in just a few hours?"

"That's..." The Emperor turned his head towards Wu Huan and looked into his eyes for a while.

"Your Majesty the concubine already knows," Zhishu said as if he knew what the Emperor was thinking.

"What?! How could he know? Did you tell him Zhishu?"

Zhishu showed a lazy look, "what do you think, Your Majesty? She knew by herself.What good is it with me if I tell her that to Her Majesty's third concubine?"

The Emperor's gaze quickly turned back to Wu Huan, the woman he was staring at was showing a look of innocence and confusion.

"Do you dare to ignore my words, Changyi? Ah, I mean Emperor.." concluded the second elder breaking the silence.

The Emperor quickly returned his focus to the elder who was indeed highly respected among the members of the Ling family, "not so the elder, the Yin energy Zhishu obtained came from my Empress' body, Shi Yue who was suffering from a cold illness.'

The second elder again stroked his beard, "so, then this Zhishu must be a very talented girl."

"Do you want to be my student, Zhishu?" asked the second elder while looking at Zhishu with a shining gaze.

Zhishu became distressed as he accidentally looked into the eyes of the second elder leading to him, "em..."

"Haha! The elder must be joking.." said Zhishu with a horse smile, "really.we only need to melt the atmosphere first and then gently refuse his offer, after all who would want to be a disciple of a person like him? Aish, I may continue to be bound by this empire."

The second elder's gaze instantly turned serious, more precisely turning sharp, "i'm not kidding, do you think someone like me would joke around with something like this?"

"Of course not the elder," Zhishu denied with a clumsy smile.

"Zhishu, why do you seem to hesitate? As soon as he accepted the request from the second elder, he was a great person and had never received a disciple before.He was a very thorough person in choosing disciples, he was a great person, you're a lucky man because he even asked you to be his disciple" the Emperor explained as if he was convincing Zhishu.

For a few seconds, Zhishu stared at the Emperor, he was not considering accepting the second elder's offer or not, it was just that he was at a loss as to how to say it to look polite and not hurt the second elder.

Zhishu took a deep breath and let it out violently.

"You refuse to be my disciple, Zhishu?" said the second elder when he heard Zhishu's breath sounding quite loud.

Zhishu bowed his body, "it is an honor for me to be your disciple.However, I apologize to the elder because I cannot accept the elder's extremely valuable and priceless offer."

Still with his bowed position, Zhishu answered the old man's question slowly, "because I already have a teacher, an elder."

The atmosphere became silent for a while.Not a single one spoke.Emperor and Wu Huan had absolutely no intention to speak, they were both waiting for the reaction of the second elder with Zhishu's reply.

Everyone in the place became tense, after the second elder did not respond at all to Zhishu's reply, "this is why else?! Why not answer the same old man? Is he angry?! Ah, stupid, angry or not, I don't care anymore! My body is already sore from bending."

Just as Zhishu wanted to lift his body, he heard the heavy and hoarse voice of the elder, "alright then.."

"Haha! Stupidly, I.Where might a talented girl like you not have a teacher? Never mind young girl, raise your head.I want to see how long you maintain your position.It turns out that even after I have been silent for quite a while, you have not moved at all, you remain faithful waiting for an answer from me, what an indomitable child," explained the second elder with a casual laugh.

Zhishu scratched his nape which did not feel itchy at all, "hahaha.."

"But I was just about to raise my head." Zhishu.

"For this corpse of Xu Qian, just throw it away, but not with his head," said the second elder as he fixed his gaze on Xu Qian's corpse.

"Well, master.Do you want to send him to the skull sect as a warning?" ask Emperor.

The second elder nodded, "right, simultaneously declaring to them that the affair between the Palace and their sect is over."

"Then I will directly order my subordinates to send him to the skull sect."

After hearing the Emperor's words, the second elder immediately darted away from the orange residence that had completely collapsed.

The Emperor gazed towards Zhishu, "this residence is already destroyed, I will order Heng Guo to escort you to the new residence."

"No need for the Emperor, Miss Zhishu will stay with me tonight," Wu Huan concluded with a sweet smile that was again imprinted on her face.

The Emperor looked at Wu Huan closely, "i didn't expect you to be able to fight against Xu Qian who already used demonic techniques, did you hide your cultivation level?"

Wu Huan silenced a thousand languages after hearing one question from the Emperor that he had thrown at him.

Zhishu who had noticed Wu Huan's expression immediately shook his head, "this woman really doesn't know how to pretend, at least if you're surprised, you don't need to be pensive like that.Just by looking at your reaction, everyone must have known the answer to the Emperor's question."

"Ekhem!"

Zhishu cleared his throat hard enough that the Emperor's focus had faded away and was fixed on him, "Wu Huan did not hide his cultivation like what His Majesty said, we attacked Xu Qian simultaneously, we did not hide his cultivation, therefore Xu Qian was defeated."

"Right, the Emperor.As it is," Wu Huan replied in response.

The Emperor still did not change the serious countenance he showed, it was obvious that the Emperor did not believe this reason.

"Your Majesty has been busy with Xu Qian and the other concubines until he was unaware of the development of His Majesty's third concubine" Zhishu concluded, who managed to make the pupils of the Emperor's eyes and Wu Huan suddenly shrink.
