The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 147 — Shen Nong's Decree
Not long after Lian Haocun finished observing the room, Shen Nong returned with a tray carrying four teas. Shen Nong gave the tea to Lian Haocun and his group, then sat down before the three of them.
Lian Huanran held the teacup made of pottery, then took a sip of the tea that Shen Nong gave her. As well as Long Yuan and Shen Nong, the two of them did the same. Lian Haocun was the only one who was silent and did not move to touch the teacup.
The atmosphere felt so silent and silent that Shen Nong opened his mouth to speak.
Shen Nong said, “I agree to your cooperation offer, and will accept your twin sister, Lian Huanran as my student officially.”
Lian Haocun frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”
In a calm tone, Shen Nong replied, “As you may have guessed, I want to officially appoint Lian Huanran as my disciple, and bestow him the highest rank among the disciples of the Jade Wolf Sect, the elder disciples. But of course, I will also test your twin sister first with a test, as well as making sure, that she does have the two elements needed to become an alchemist, as well as the talent of being an alchemist.”
Lian Haocun, “Can you guarantee that Huanran will be safe with you?”
‘However, not a few disciples of the Jade Wolf Sect wanted the position of elder disciple.’ Continue Lian Haocun while continuing to observe Shen Nong's expression and movements.
Shen Nong nodded his head confidently, then said, “I sure can guarantee the safety of your twin sister, plus, I don't have any other disciples like some of the other elders, so there will be no competition to worry about.”
When Shen Nong offered such an offer, there was no denying it, neither Lian Huanran nor Long Yuan felt surprised. Moreover, based on the report given by Chao Bence, it was said that Shen Nong was an elder who had no interest in having a disciple, so the chance to become a disciple of Shen Nong was very small. Although it was possible, because not a single disciple in the Jade Wolf Sect had the potential to become an alchemist.
Lian Haocun, “We will consider the offer, now, we need to discuss about the distribution of magic medicinal pills.”
Finally, Lian Huanran as well as Long Yuan could only stay in place while waiting for the discussion of Lian Haocun and Shen Nong to be finished. After the day until dawn, Lian Haocun and her group promised another three-day meeting in the minimalist Shen Nong pavilion. Then Lian Haocun and his group left, but they did not return to the dormitory, the three of them instead went to Meza Park.
After making protectors around them, Lian Haocun said, “Are you going to accept the elder's offer?”
Lian Huanran did not immediately reply, and asked back, “What do you think of Brother?”
Lian Huanran certainly knew that if he managed to pass the test that Elder Shen Nong had provided for him, and become an elder disciple, there were all sorts of challenges that he would face. And of course, he will also get some benefits. Lian Huanran considered all the things he would face and get, then said excitedly, “I'll give it a try!”
Long Yuan smiled and said, “Then, it's decided! Let's go back to the dorm, it's morning.”.
Lian Huanran nodded his head in agreement, and they began their journey back to the dormitory. They entered from the front door of the dormitory building, then walked towards their dorm room. It was morning after all, so it was only natural that there were some people wandering around, so no one would suspect that they were leaving in the middle of the night.
After entering their dorm room, Lian Haocun and her group were greeted by Yun Shao who had woken up, with disheveled hair, Qian Wenwu who was still asleep on her bed, and Bai and Cheng were also still asleep and clinging to each other.
Lian Haocun and his group cleaned themselves up, then began to rest. In any case, they get a one-day break after completing their first mission.
While drying her wet hair, Yun Shao asked, “How? Have you guys finished your business?”
Lian Huanran nodded her head, while lying down staring at Bai and Cheng.
Still drying his hair, Yun Shao said, “Hmmm, good... If you need help, and if it's still within my limits, just say.”
Lian Huanran looked at Yun Shao, and said ‘thank you’ with a smile. Yun Shao nodded his head, then various kinds of topics flowed like water.
As Lian Huanran, Yun Shao and Long Yuan were conversing with each other, Lian Haocun thought back to the sudden change in Shen Nong's attitude, which Lian Haocun thought was very strange and awkward.
Plus, the Shen Nong they met in the beginning, with Shen Nong who was in the pavilion, had different gestures and customs. It was as if, in that body, there were two souls of a person.
Although Lian Haocun had already racked his brain to get a clue as to what was really going on with Shen Nong, he was unable to find a bright spot, thus, Lian Haocun could only spend his time cultivating while thinking.
After the day leading up to noon, Lian Haocun, Lian Huanran, Long Yuan, Yun Shao and Qian Wenwu agreed to go to the arena. After all, they had nothing else to do. Naturally, those little twin magical beasts, also came along with them.
