Chapter 483: Taking on an apprentice is not EZ
The grandfather and grandson seemed to have been waiting here for quite some time, and they looked rather anxious and reserved, which puzzled Gu Heng.
Neither of them are the type to be reserved.
As the head of the family, Yin Rufeng was quite aloof when facing an outsider like him. A lady from a prominent family like Yin Xueling might be reserved, but she and Gu Heng seemed to be quite familiar with each other, since they shared the same interests, so they were not at all restrained when chatting.
But these two seem a bit off today.
Gu Heng pondered to himself, then walked up with a smile: "Gentlemen, what brings you here at this hour?"
Upon seeing him, the grandfather and granddaughter, who had been anxious, immediately perked up! "Senior Gu!"
Yin Ru clasped his hands in a salute to Gu Heng. This immediate gesture of respect startled Gu Heng. Why had this gentleman suddenly become so humble?
Moreover, this old man actually called him "senior," which made Gu Heng feel extremely uncomfortable. How could someone so young be called a senior? "Young Master" has always sounded quite nice.
"Stop, stop, don't call me 'senior'."
Gu Heng quickly interrupted him. Seeing that he was being interrupted, Yin Rufeng couldn't say what he was about to say and stood there awkwardly.
"Since you're already here, would you like to come in and have a cup of tea?"
"Well... that's fine, then thank you for the invitation, Young Master Gu."
It wasn't appropriate to talk outside, so Gu Heng simply invited the grandfather and granddaughter inside. As soon as they returned, Xiao Bai flew out from inside and placed a teapot and teacups on the table.
"You've worked hard, Xiaobai. Go and rest now." Gu Heng patted Xiaobai's head, telling it to find a place to stay.
Little White wagged its tail, exhaled a wisp of scorching dragon breath, and then huffed as it flew into the house.
Gu Heng didn't quite understand what this meant.
But he guessed that Xiaobai was happy because it had gained the approval of its master.
He is increasingly feeling that the pet helper given to him by the system has indeed reduced a lot of his stress. At first, it only made him clean and tidy up, but now, more than half a month later, Xiaobai has even learned how to brew tea, and brews good tea with a strength and taste that suits his taste!
Maybe it will even be able to cook in the future?
But this requires teaching. To be honest, Gu Heng felt that his cooking skills were not good enough to teach a little white dragon.
When I saw Xiaobai.
Yin Rufeng and Yin Xueling's attention was drawn to it. It was the first time they had seen Gu Heng accompanied by a dragon, and this dragon... was not the so-called ancient dragon of the Xuan Tian Realm; it was vastly different.
but.
This is more like the dragon race in "The Immortal World"!
However, according to Yin Rufeng's memory, the dragon race in the Void Immortal World was actually a mixed bag, and the strongest dragon race was the Holy Dragon Race, which was said to have an extremely high status in the Immortal Realm!
Gu Yun, the patriarch of the Holy Dragon Clan, is also the master of the "Dragon Palace" in the Void Immortal Realm. He is extremely powerful and has absolute prestige over the entire Dragon Clan!
But when Yin Rufeng saw this little white dragon...
He had a feeling.
It was as if Gu Yun was a humble and nameless descendant of this little white dragon...
This feeling only flashed through Yin Rufeng's mind for a moment, and then he found it utterly absurd and confusing. Moreover...
Yin Rufeng also couldn't see through the little white dragon's strength.
On the contrary, just being near it makes me feel insignificant and humble.
Yin Rufeng decided it was best not to inquire why the little white dragon was Gu Heng's pet; she should just treat it as a normal thing.
"Come, come, have some tea."
At this moment, Gu Heng turned to Yin Rufeng and Yin Xueling: "I wonder what business you two have with me?"
Speaking of which, I just asked Manager Jin Qian to deliver a painting to Yin Xueling this morning, and the grandfather and granddaughter arrived just before evening.
Could it be related to this painting?
"Grandpa, let me say it myself."
Before Yin Rufeng could speak, Yin Xueling answered first, and then Gu Heng saw this young lady from a prominent family perform the apprenticeship ceremony right in front of him!
"Please, Young Master Gu, accept me as your disciple!"
puff--
This was Gu Heng's only thought at that moment.
If he doesn't keep his composure, the atmosphere here will probably become incredibly awkward.
Yin Rufeng looked like he was digging his toes into the ground. He coughed, trying to say something to ease the tension.
"Uh, Miss, what's wrong with you...?"
Gu Heng felt a wave of embarrassment.
Do you accept apprentices?
In this world, taking on apprentices is anything but EZ.
Although he took Qin Yiyao as his apprentice, the circumstances were special at the time, and Yin Xueling suddenly made that outburst, so of course he couldn't agree.
"Your paintings are astounding, and Xue Ling admires them greatly. That is why I have taken the liberty of coming here to humbly request that you take me as your disciple."
Yin Xueling looked up and insisted.
The shock she felt was beyond words.
One of Gu Heng's paintings caused her cultivation level to skyrocket from the fifth level of the Ascension stage to the True Immortal stage!
Where had she ever seen such a scene?
To call it breathtaking would be an understatement.
Even her own grandfather's cultivation level increased significantly because he saw the same painting as her.
Before this, Yin Xueling had always thought that her grandfather was probably the one in the world who understood the essence of painting the most.
Until this morning.
Almost instantly, the thought of becoming Gu Heng's disciple arose in her mind, and it was extremely strong! If she could become the disciple of such a master of extraordinary talent, Yin Xueling felt that her grandfather would not be able to object if she wanted to leave the desolate city in the future.
To be honest, the reason I've never been allowed to leave the desolate city is because my grandfather always says it's dangerous outside.
Then I'll find a master to teach me and become strong enough that even my grandfather would approve of me.
Leaving the deserted city wouldn't be too difficult, would it?
Then Yin Xueling couldn't wait to come, and Yin Rufeng followed. But if she were to become an apprentice, her grandfather probably wouldn't be able to bring it up.
Old people still care about their reputation.
