Chapter 136: Ning Zhi’s rejection…?

“However, I currently do not have the spare time to take in another direct disciple.”

Upon speaking up to here, Ning Zhi took a glance at Feng Xue, who was currently using a fork and knife to cut off the chicken meat from a drumstick while with an upset pout on her face, evidently to be upset about the fact that her master didn’t allow her to eat with her hands, then continued speaking.

“After all, just this brat alone is more than enough for me to handle right now.”

Meanwhile, right as Feng Xue heard the word “brat” came out from Ning Zhi’s mouth, Feng Xue immediately knew that the “brat” that Ning Zhi was talking about was she herself, and thus, Feng Xue turned her face toward Ning Zhi, and upon seeing that Ning Zhi wasn’t looking at her, Feng Xue stuck out her tongue and made a face at Ning Zhi, then quickly turned her face back toward her plate as if nothing had happened.

Meanwhile, with the corner of her mouth twitching, evidently to be aware of the fact that Feng Xue had actually just made a face at her, thanks to her spiritual sense that was constantly revolving around her body and helping her to see all directions 24/7…

Ning Zhi held back her anger and continued speaking to Veronica.

“If I were to take in Sebastian as my direct disciple right now, I most likely won’t have the time to be able to properly teach him about talisman crafting.”

“Of course, seeing that you are willing to help me craft and enchant a few weapons… So long as this Sebastian guy is able to break through to becoming an official talisman crafter within a month’s time, I will take him in as a direct disciple of mine!”

Initially, Veronica and Coril didn’t intend on inviting Ning Zhi to Sebastian and Miuna’s wedding.

Furthermore, they didn’t intend on even letting Ning Zhi know about Sebastian’s existence until Sebastian had finally managed to break through to becoming an official talisman crafter.

After all, the less contact that Ning Zhi had been in with Sebastian, the higher chance that Sebastian’s sperm strengthening body wouldn’t be discovered by Ning Zhi.

Sure, sooner or later, Ning Zhi was going to come to find out about Sebastian’s sperm strengthening body, but for now, Veronica and Coril wanted to keep Ning Zhi unaware of Sebastian’s sperm strengthening body, so that they could have Sebastian’s sperm strengthening body for themselves to use for as long as possible, all the way until they felt that Sebastian had grown to a point that Ning Zhi’s help was necessary to protect Sebastian.

However, sometimes, plans don’t normally go the way that one would want the plans to go, and when plans can’t keep up with changes, one would have no choice but to just go with the flow.

30 minutes ago, right when everyone that had been invited to the wedding venue had already arrived and were currently seated at their tables, Ning Zhi suddenly brought along 2 of her direct disciples and quite a number of high-level energy refining realm disciples from her talisman crafting department over to the Lisandris Family, mainly for the sake of paying a visit to Veronica.

Naturally, since Ning Zhi showed up at the Lisandris Family to pay a visit to Veronica without informing Veronica in advance, Veronica wasn’t able to do anything to prevent Ning Zhi from choosing to attend Sebastian and Miuna’s wedding when Ning Zhi showed up at the wedding venue with her 2 direct disciples and quite a number of other disciples that were from the talisman crafting department.

Upon hearing what Ning Zhi said, an upset look appeared on Veronica’s face as she placed her wine glass onto the table, then said with a displeased tone to her voice, “You will take Sebastian in as a direct disciple so long as he is able to break through to becoming an official talisman within a month’s time…?”

“You can just say so if you aren’t interested in taking Sebastian in as your direct disciple, there’s no need for you to set up such an unreasonable requisite for taking in Sebastian as your direct disciple.”

“I’m suggesting for you to consider taking Sebastian in as your direct disciple if he’s able to break through to becoming an official talisman crafter within 6 to 8 months’ time, and yet, you are telling me you will take him in as your direct disciple if he’s able to break through in a month’s time…?”

“Are you trying to mess with me, Ning Zhi?”

Right as Veronica had finished speaking, before Ning Zhi was able to respond to Veronica, the female cultivator that was sitting by Ning Zhi’s right side quickly opened her mouth to try and help soothe the tension.

“Mother, master isn’t trying to mess…”

However, before the female cultivator could even finish her sentence, the female cultivator was chided by Veronica.

“Vanessa, keep your mouth shut and focus on eating your food!”

Evidently, the female cultivator that was sitting by Ning Zhi’s right side was Vanessa Lisandris, one of Ning Zhi’s direct disciple, and also Veronica’s daughter.

Upon being chided by her mother, Vanessa, who was just as obstinate as her mother was, didn’t back down as she could be seen opening her mouth, evidently to be intending on continue speaking.

However, before Vanessa was able to do so, Ning Zhi gently pat her right hand a few times onto Vanessa’s left shoulder, then consoled with a somewhat gentle tone to her voice, albeit her tone was still filled with coldness as that was just how Ning Zhi was as a person, “Alright, it’s fine, just focus on eating your food.”

“Hmm.” Upon hearing what her master said, Vanessa let out a groan in response, then lowered her head and continued on with eating her food.

Looking at Vanessa, if one didn’t know better, they may have thought that Vanessa was actually Ning Zhi’s daughter, instead of Veronica’s daughter.

After all…
