Clan head Sai Si didn't beat around the bush. He directly asked, "Master Xi Tian has interacted with Luo Luo a few times. What do you think of his talent?"
Huang Bei Yue was stunned, what does Sai Si mean? He knew his own son the best, didn't he? Why did he ask her?
"Young master Luo Luo is intelligent and he diligently studies. In terms of talent, Luo Luo is indeed lacking a bit," Huang Bei Yue said.
"However, looking at how he was sparring with me just now, I found out that he is very smart, agile, and not dull. Seeing one move, he would predict the next. Ordinary people would not be able to compare to him."
Sai Si stroked his short beard and laughed loudly, "You are too courteous, Master Xi Tian."
"If you think I'm saying this because I'm being polite, then you're insulting Luo Luo," Huang Bei Yue said coldly.
"No, no." Sai Si hurriedly shook his head, his expression was somewhat gratified. "I am just very happy that in your eyes, your esteemed self is still able to give such a high evaluation to Luo Luo."
Huang Bei Yue looked at him coldly but didn't say a word.
Sai Si didn't continue with the previous topic, he said, "I wonder which family does an expert as your esteemed self has come from?"
"I'm alone." Huang Bei Yue looked at Sai Si and gradually understood what clan head Sai Si was up to.
He wants to win her over.
The Bu Ji Er family is one of the most powerful families on the Karte Continent. There are many experts within the Bu Ji Er family. Many experts of the continent would choose to rely on the Bu Ji Er family.
This was because, due to Bu Ji Er family's strong backing, they would have nothing to worry about!
Sai Si stroked his beard as he pondered. "You are very powerful, but have you ever thought that in the continent, one person is always lacking in power…"
With a hand gently supporting her chin, she turned her head and said indifferently, "Clan head's intention, I understand."
Sai Si laughed. He didn't feel embarrassed at all. "Wise people don't speak in a roundabout way, Xi Tian is straightforward."
"Clan head Sai Si is also a straightforward person. Just say it."
Sai Si crossed his arms behind his back and took a few steps forward, letting out a heavy sigh. He said, "I have always hoped to train Luo Luo to be my successor, but his interest never rested on the family's business. He only wants to become someone powerful. Without a choice, I've also recruited many experts to teach him, but his talent is limited…"
After saying that, Sai Si turned around, a glint of light flashing through his deep and astute eyes. "I heard from the coach about your teachings to Luo Luo. If you could take him in as a disciple…"
"Is this the condition clan head Sai Si is proposing?"
"No, definitely not!" Sai Si said firmly, "It's just one of my wishes. It is a great honor for you to join our family. Why would I offer you any conditions?"
Huang Bei Yue pursed his lips. No one could see her face under the cloak. However, the cold and clear aura that she gives off still made clan head Sai Si feel uneasy.
After quietly waiting for a while, Huang Bei Yue slowly spoke out, "I won't join the Bu Ji Er family."
Clan head Sai Si didn't hide the disappointment on his face. However, he was someone who had gone through great wind and waves so he just bitterly smiled. He regretfully said, "I respect your wishes."
"However, I would like to have a mutually beneficial relationship with the Bu Ji Er family." Huang Bei Yue's voice was light, but it was hard for anyone to resist.
"However, I really wish that the family of Bu Ji Er is the relationship of mutually cooperating and benefiting each other." Huang Bei Yue's voice was faint but it led people to have the feeling of unable to reject her. "Of course, the matter with Luo Luo is not collaborating."
Sai Si listened to this. The sentence before talked about cooperating and he thought that there was no problem with this. After all, a master joining the family of Bu Ji Er, wasn't that also the relationship of mutually cooperating with each other?
They need a master's prestige and power to stabilize their family's power. On the other hand, the masters would want to to use the family Bu Ji Er's strong influence in order for them to stand on the mainland steadily.
It's just that when they joined the family, in the future when they do something outside, they need to take the matters of the family as a priority. They would be restrained by a little bit.
If it was just the relationship of cooperation, Master Xi Tian is Master Xi Tian while family Bu Ji Er is family Bu Ji Er. They will not interfere with each other. When needed, they will help each other. This type of relationship was quite well.
In his heart, Sai Si was preparing to agree but he heard Huang Bei Yue's sentence after. He was stunned before revealing a delightful look.
"What Master Xi Tian's meaning is you are willing to accept Luo Luo as your apprentice?"
"It's not that simple to be my apprentice. The sufferings that one would face is more than others by ten times. Tell me about it after clan leader Sai Si goes back to ask about young master Luo Luo's opinion." Huang Bei Yue exclaimed this without expression.
"Don't need to ask. I am willing to! Obviously, I am willing to! What does suffering count as? I love suffering!" Luo Luo suddenly jumped out from the yard, excitedly declaring.
The corner of Huang Bei Yue's lips curled up. Luo Luo's attitude was the exact same as hers when she formally became an apprentice to her master.
What does suffering count as? As long as she was able to become powerful, she loved suffering!
Clan leader Sai Si was chuckling. He glared at Luo Luo, a little indulging: "The adults are speaking. How can you be outside trying to eavesdrop? This is impolite. Quickly apologize to Master Xi Tian, oh no, your master."
Luo Luo's huge eyes blinked a couple times. He looked towards Huang Bei Yue, full of shock: "Master above, this apprentice knows that he is wrong!"
Clan leader touched his beard, smiling: "Today, it's getting late. It's too rushing. Tomorrow, I will prepare for the grand ceremony for formal apprentices to meet their masters so Luo Lou can worship Master Xi Tian as master."
"It's fine without a ceremony. Since Luo Luo calls me master, I will instruct him." The ceremony for apprentices meeting their masters was just a process. There was no huge meaning behind it.
Plus, this matter might cause a huge racket and won't benefit Luo Luo in any way. They need to know that those who stood high up, the more people who wanted to harshly slam them down. Luo Luo is still young and innocent. This type of harm, he can't endure it.
Clan leader Sai Si had also thought of this. He nodded his head, saying to Luo Luo: "Luo Luo, kowtow once to your master. Offer a cup of tea. The etiquettes are still required."
"Yes." Luo Luo kneeled down and kowtowed three times. The servant immediately placed the hot tea in his hand. He raised it up with both his hands, delivering it to Huang Bei Yue: "Master, please drink tea!"
Huang Bei Yue faintly smiled, taking it over. She used the cuff to cover up while she sipped. "Get up. You are worshipping me as master but I have nothing to gift you. The sword-play from before, I will demonstrate it a complete time. You look at it carefully."
"Many thanks, master!" Luo Luo was incomparably excited. The first time that he had worshipped a master, he was able to learn Master Xi Tian's sword-play. How could he not be happy?
Clan leader Sai Si looked at the two people, gratified. He waved his hand towards the servants on two sides and he also left secretly, leaving this place to the pair of apprentice and master.
Under the moonlight, the black silhouette moved naturally and flowingly. Although the actions were slow, the light of the sword had formed an invisible net. It was just like a real one in the sky, not scattering even after a long time!
