Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 36 Begging the Celestial Master to Take Me as a Disciple

Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Begging the Celestial Master to Take Me as a Disciple

There was a brief silence in the courtyard.

Su Jinyun looked at Chen Fan, utterly shocked to the core.

Keke suddenly cheered and jumped for joy, "Chen Fan daddy is so cool!"

Su Jinyun picked up Keke, and to be honest, she also thought Chen Fan had just been incredibly cool, "Indeed, he is the man I, Su Jinyun, have set my sights on."

Wu Tiangang stared at Chen Fan, muttering to himself, "Celestial Master Dao thunder magic! That’s Celestial Master Dao thunder magic!"

He ran towards Chen Fan, and with a thud, dropped to his knees, "Celestial Master, we were blind to your greatness and have offended you, please forgive us!"

Zhang and a few other followers, upon seeing this, also hurried over and knelt down, repeatedly kowtowing.

"Spare our lives, Celestial Master! Spare our lives!"

When Chen Fan saw how drastically their attitudes had changed, he was still a bit uncomfortable and gave a light cough, "Alright, get up, everyone. Just don’t be so arrogant in the future."

Zhang and the other followers stood up gratefully.

Zhang looked at Chen Fan with tears streaming down his face, thinking that this Celestial Master was indeed a magnanimous person; he would never look down on others again.

Wu Tiangang remained kneeling on the ground.

Chen Fan glanced at him, "Master Wu, you may stand up now."

Wu Tiangang gave three loud kowtows on the ground, then stood up with his hands clasped together, "Celestial Master, I have long admired Mount Longhu’s Celestial Master Dao, and today I have had the honor to witness the true Celestial Master Dao thunder magic. It’s the honor of my lifetime. I humbly request to become your follower!"

Chen Fan was taken aback, "Celestial Master Dao thunder magic? What is that?"

Wu Tiangang was also surprised, "Isn’t the Celestial Master from Mount Longhu?"

Chen Fan shook his head, "Master Wu, please stand up first. I don’t plan to take on followers for the time being. Tell me, what is this Celestial Master Dao of Mount Longhu?"

Wu Tiangang could only stand up, feeling dejected, "Mount Longhu is the holy land in the hearts of us cultivators. Celestial Master Dao is a unique heritage of Mount Longhu, and its most famous aspect is the thunder magic. It is said that only Celestial Masters who have entered the Dao can use such powerful thunder magic, which is why I mistook you for someone from Mount Longhu when I saw you summon the lightning."

Chen Fan pondered for a moment, then asked, "What does entering the Dao mean?"

Wu Tiangang explained, "To ’enter the Dao’ means to reach a Mastery Level in the path of cultivation, becoming a Celestial Master revered by all. Only a Celestial Master who has entered the Dao is capable of wielding such terrifying thunder magic."

"Celestial Master, the Daoist magic you unleashed just now was more terrifying than that of any Dao-entering Celestial Masters I’ve encountered. You must be among the best of those who have entered the Dao. How could you be unaware of what it means to enter the Dao?"

Chen Fan smiled, "I am not a cultivator."

"Huh?" Wu Tiangang looked puzzled.

Chen Fan didn’t bother to explain.

When he heard Wu Tiangang excitedly shout about Celestial Master Dao thunder magic, Chen Fan thought he had seen a cultivator like himself.

But this so-called Celestial Master Dao turned out to be so lacking, far worse than he had imagined.

The thunder magic he had just used was one of the Divine Skills within the Cultivation Sect, called Imperial Decree, which could harness the power of nature. Summoning lightning was just the simplest application of this Divine Skill.

And yet, Celestial Master Dao’s thunder magic had to be cultivated to the so-called state of entering the Dao before it could be used.

The gap between these cultivators and true cultivators was now clear to see.

"What cultivation level has Master Wu reached now, has he entered the Dao?" Chen Fan asked.

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Wu Tiangang’s face, "My talents are inferior, I can’t compare with you, Celestial Master. At present, I can only be considered half a step into the realm of Dao entering."

In reality, he was being modest. Considering the current state of Earth, producing a master of spells who had entered the Dao was as difficult as reaching the heavens, and to achieve half a step into the Dao was already an indication of supreme talent.

"Oh," Chen Fan nodded, feeling that Master Wu couldn’t provide him with any useful information, so he refrained from asking further.

Seeing Chen Fan’s indifferent attitude, Wu Tiangang became anxious, "Celestial Master, I know you look down on my meager strength, and I am aware that I am not worthy to take you as my master, but I earnestly request to be a follower by your side, even if it is just to serve you tea and water!"

Chen Fan had intended to refuse, but considering Wu Tiangang’s status in the cultivator community was not low, which might be a useful connection in the future, he nodded, "Fine, if there’s anything I need help with, I will let you know."

Wu Tiangang was overjoyed and quickly noted down Chen Fan’s contact information.

"Then we won’t disturb Celestial Master and his family’s rest anymore, we’ll take our leave," Wu Tiangang said with a respectful bow to Chen Fan, then left with his several disciples.

Only then did Su Jinyun come over with Keke in her arms, smiling at Chen Fan, "I never imagined you could perform such miraculous spells. I’m growing fonder of you more and more."

"Stop it, Yun," Chen Fan quickly changed the subject, "The Resentful Spirit Puppet must have been placed here by someone. Yun, it seems someone wants to harm you. Do you have any idea who it might be?"

With a cold sneer, killing intent flashed in Su Jinyun’s eyes, "I’ve already ruled out all the suspects who had a motive. If I’m not wrong, this thing should have been placed here by that bastard Zhao Cheng."

"Zhao Cheng?" Chen Fan frowned, "Why him again?"

"Oh? You know about Zhao Cheng?" Su Jinyun was surprised.

Chen Fan recounted the incident where Zhao Cheng had sent Su Qingyan the Cursed Bracelet.

Snorting coldly, Su Jinyun said, "I knew that kid wouldn’t have good intentions. Qingyan was so troubled by Zhao Cheng’s pestering that she asked for my help, so I had him hung on a tree in the suburbs to endure a night of wolf howls. He must be seeking revenge for this."

Chen Fan laughed, hanging someone from a tree to listen to wolf howls was something probably only the No.1 Lady of Yun City could do.

However, his eyes immediately flashed with coldness, "This Zhao Cheng’s persistent bothering of Qingyan and malicious nature means he must be taught a severe lesson."

Seeing how much Chen Fan cared for Su Qingyan, Su Jinyun rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "I’ll find a way to discipline Zhao Cheng. Besides, how come only Qingyan is in your heart? Don’t you care about me and Keke? Let’s go into the house and sleep."

Chen Fan scratched his head, "Yun, since the source of the haunting has been dealt with, I’d rather not sleep here tonight."

Su Jinyun glared at him, "Even if it’s been resolved, Keke and I got scared. Do you really have the heart to let us mother and daughter spend the night in fear?"

As she spoke, she prodded Keke.

Keke immediately said in a tender voice, "Chen Fan daddy, Keke is scared. Will you stay and keep Keke company?"

Chen Fan had no choice but to nod his head.

It was eleven o’clock at night.

Chen Fan lay alone on the guest room bed.

"Thank goodness Yun had to coax Keke to sleep, otherwise, there would definitely be trouble tonight," he thought to himself with relief.

Just as the thought crossed his mind, a crack opened in his room’s door.

Chen Fan looked up, and through the light outside, saw Su Jinyun, dressed only in a thin silk nightgown, stride into the room with her long legs.
