Capítulo 30: Final Decision (Rewrite)
[: 3rd POV :]
"Master Daniel, forgive my boldness, but what kind of disciple are you seeking?"
Zuke questioned with excitement.
He knew this was a one-in-a-million opportunity that wouldn't happen even if thousands of years had passed.
Being a disciple of the Half-Immortal Realm could have its advantages, one of them being Daniel's protection.
Hence, Zuke was rather enthusiastic.
If he could recommend his daughter, he would.
However, he could only sigh in his mind and blame himself for being such a useless father.
Otherwise, his daughter could soar through the sky.
"That's her. I'm recruiting her," Daniel declared as he pointed to Elizabeth.
Zuke's eyes widened in sheer disbelief, his jaw dropping as Daniel pointed at Elizabeth.
Elizabeth, too, was caught off guard, her eyes widening as she processed the unexpected turn of events.
She stammered, "Me? Your disciple?"
She even pointed to herself as she was in disbelief.
"That's right, it's you Elizabeth" Daniel smiled.
"EEEEHH!?"
Both of them screamed in surprise as they finally absorbed Daniel words.
Moments later, Zuke decided to spoke upm
Zuke, still struggling to comprehend, managed to sputter, "Forgive me for saying this, but my daughter...still has areas she needs to improved",
"As such, I believe Master won't be satisfied"
Zuke said.
Zuke knew that his words may hurt her daughter.
Even so, he didn't want her to be mistreated by someone.
Even if it was Daniel, he couldn't fully trust him in taking care of his daughter.
Because, it still feels sucpiciois to him, and Daniel had sensed his worries.
In the end, Zuke would rather protect his daughter forever than be taken by someone who may mistreat her.
"I know that she is incapable of cultivating...after all, I could see it within my eyes"
Daniel smiled as he gazed toward Elizabeth.
Daniel, with a mysterious smile, replied, "Potential comes in many forms, Zuke"
"And you need to know that when it comes to Talent, it means nothing to me" Daniel declared.
"You don't have to worry about that, and it's futile to ponder how I know. What's important now is whether or not your daughter wishes to accept me as her master," Daniel said.
"I understand it may be hard to believe, but rather than questioning her status as a half-cultivator, what truly matters is whether or not you would be my disciple, Elizabeth Tristan?" Daniel questioned and pointed.
"M-Me?"
Her voice sounded shaken, and no one could blame her.
All eyes were on her, and she felt pressured by it.
Elizabeth had witnessed the power displayed by Daniel, and instead of feeling fear, she was entranced by it.
'Is that what being a cultivator is like?" she wondered.
'Compared to him, others are like specks of dust. If I follow him, could my fate change?'
She pondered whether this decision would transform her life or take a turn for the worse.
She didn't want to experience the same powerlessness she felt today.
'Never again will I be weak! If being his disciple can change my powerlessness, then I would gladly sacrifice everything!'
She had solidified her decision and was willing to do anything to change her ways.
"Oh, but before you make your decision, I don't wish to conceal anything"
"If you decide to be my disciple, you'll be joining my sect, The Heavenly Harem Sect, and it's exactly what it sounds like."
Daniel didn't want to hide his intentions that they would be joining a righteous sect.
He wanted to give a heads up so that she was aware of the kind of road she would embark on, and, of course, there were sparks of reactions.
"This..."
Zuke had an awkward smile, and he didn't want to speak out as he was afraid of offending the young master.
Elizabeth remained in silence as she thought about what her decision should be, and minutes later, she had decided.
"Respectful master, I have questions that I would like to ask," she inquired.
"Go ahead," he allowed her to speak.
"If I join the sect, would I be treated like the other unorthodox sects?"
She asked as she was aware of the implications of joining his sect.
"I promise that if you ever join my sect, then I will treat and spoil you, where even the heavens would be jealous," Daniel assured.
"If I become your disciple, would I be as strong as you?"
"You can be as powerful as the heavens once you're in my sect, and I will make sure that even the world shall bow to your knees," Daniel claimed with a wide smile.
"Then... would my family have your protection if I am your disciple?"
She was concerned for her family and the city especially after offending the Imperial Families.
"Anyone who has a familial relationship with my disciple shall have my blessings," Daniel said.
"That's good... then, Father, you're the only person that would be the last for me to ask for your permission."
She kneeled as she sought her father's permission.
"Sigh, for all my life, I have protected you, and I know at some point, you'll have to leave your nest"
"You have reached an age where I can no longer control or impose any restrictions,"
Zuke became emotional and melancholic.
"Sometimes I forget that it's time for my daughter to decide her future, but because she can't cultivate, I was worried for her"
'I hope this young man could cause a miracle'
"No matter what decisions you make, I'll respect them"
"But young master, is it possible for me to request something... a request as a father?" Zuke asked.
"Go ahead."
"I know this might be over my limit as someone beneath you, but can you promise to treat Elizabeth with the happiness that she deserves?"
Zuke requested, emotional since he never expected that his daughter would leave his side.
"Zuke, don't belittle yourself as beneath me, and I promise to treat Elizabeth with the happiness she deserves,"
Daniel smiled and said.
"Then I'm glad," Zuke sighed with relief, entrusting everything to Daniel.
