Chapter 157: Ning Zhi’s change of mind

“Hiss…”

Right as the serpent-like creature landed in front of Ning Zhi, it let out a hiss as it lowered its head to the front of Ning Zhi’s body.

“Hiss…”

And as Ning Zhi began rubbing her right hand onto its head, the serpent-like creature could be seen squinting its eyes with satisfaction and letting out another hiss.

After Ning Zhi was done rubbing onto the serpent-like creature’s head, Ning Zhi opened her mouth and said to the serpent-like creature.

“Ning Jiao, bring this guy over to Bright Moon Sect’s pill concoction department and hand him over to pill concoction department’s great elder.”

“Hiss…”

Upon hearing Ning Zhi’s order, the serpent-like creature let out a hiss as it obediently nodded its head, then began enveloping its spiritual sense onto Ye Wei, using its spiritual sense to carry Ye Wei by its side, followed by flying into Bright Moon Sect’s direction.

Right as the serpent-like creature and Ye Wei had flew into the distance, Ning Zhi looked over to Sebastian, then began nodding her head a few times with satisfaction while sizing Sebastian up and down.

Right after Ning Zhi was done sizing Sebastian up and down, Ning Zhi put on a gentle and amicable smile on her face, then said with a gentle and friendly tone to Sebastian.

“As expected of my soon to be new direct disciple, it would seem that you have far exceeded my initial expectations of you, Sebastian.”

“…?”

“…?!”

Meanwhile, right as Ning Zhi had finished speaking, Sebastian could be seen having an extremely confused look on his face…

While Feng Xue could be seen having an extremely shocked look on her face as she stared intensely onto the gentle and amicable smile that her master currently had on her face.

“What the heck?! Is this really my master?!”

“I didn’t know that this bad-tempered master of mine who would always have a cold look on her face would be able to smile so gently and amicably, and even more, speak with such a gentle and friendly tone!”

“She didn’t get possess by an evil spirit or something, did she?!”

Upon thinking up to here, Feng Xue walked up to Ning Zhi, then tiptoed and waved her left hand in front of Ning Zhi’s eyes as she asked with a suspicious look on her face.

“Master, are you alright? Why are you acting so weirdly? Are you feeling unwell or something…?”

Faced with Feng Xue’s question, the corner of Ning Zhi’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch a few times as she thought to herself.

“Calm down, calm down, ignore this unfilial disciple of yours, you can deal with her later on. Right now, your main focus is to get Sebastian to acknowledge you as his master.”

“Though, I must really give it to my sixth sense. I knew it was a good idea to stay back and watch when I sensed that Sebastian somehow managed to break through my spiritual sense that I had used to form a barrier in front of him when Ye Wei suddenly launched a surprise attack at him.”

“If I had stopped the two of them from fighting from the start, I wouldn’t have been able to witness that breath attack that Sebastian used!”

“That immensely frightening aura that was contained within that breath attack…”

“I’m 100% certain that it is similar to the frightening aura that I felt from the immortal treasure that is stored within Lunar Eclipse Sect’s secret realm!”

“The fact that this guy who is merely at the energy refining realm is able to use an attack that possesses such an immensely frightening aura that is akin to the aura that was emitted out from an immortal treasure…”

“No matter what, I have to get this guy to accept and acknowledge me as his master!”

That’s right, after witnessing everything that had unfolded before her eyes, Ning Zhi had decided to take in Sebastian as her direct disciple.

In truth, Ning Zhi initially wasn’t intending on accepting Sebastian as her direct disciple, even if Sebastian somehow managed to break through to becoming an official talisman crafter in a month or few months’ time.

After all, unknown to most, Ning Zhi really disliked the idea of taking in a male cultivator as her direct disciple.

And if Sebastian was a female cultivator, Ning Zhi would have most likely considered taking in Sebastian as her direct disciple after she had read up Sebastian’s information from the information jade that Veronica had handed over to her to read.

However, from the looks of things, when certain things reach a certain point, Ning Zhi didn’t mind discarding away her dislike.

…

After calming down, while still with a gentle and amicable smile on her face, Ning Zhi continued speaking to Sebastian.

“Looking at this confused look on your face, it would seems that you aren’t aware that Veronica recommended me to take you in as my direct disciple?”

“In any case, now that you are aware of it, what do you say, Sebastian? Are you willing to acknowledge me as your master and become a direct disciple of mine?”

Faced with Ning Zhi’s question, rather than giving an immediate answer, Sebastian first subconsciously looked over to Dave, seemingly to be seeking for a confirmation from Dave if what Ning Zhi just said was true.

And upon seeing that Sebastian looked over to Dave, Ning Zhi finally remembered that she had previously used a freezing technique onto Dave to prevent Dave from doing anything to interrupt the conflict between Sebastian and Ye Wei.

Thus, without any hesitation, Ning Zhi quickly removed the freezing technique that she had previously used onto Dave.

Meanwhile, upon sensing that he was able to move his body once again, Dave couldn’t help but let out a breath of relief as he took a glance at Ning Zhi while with the corner of his mouth slightly twitching.

Evidently, Dave was aware that Ning Zhi was the one who used a freezing technique on his body.
