Chapter 148 The Shameless Bud and William

Roderick wasn’t joking.

He had seriously considered this.

Given his current level of power, there was no way that he would be able to sit firmly in the position of the Patriarch of the Li Fire Sect.

Just imagine, after all the disciples of the sect had witnessed Lin Lei’s power, would there still be anyone who would be shocked by his level of strength and worship him?

Obviously it would not be.

But for a sect, if its disciples didn’t have any basic level of worship or respect for the Patriarch, would the Patriarch be able to sit still?

Clearly he couldn’t.

Moreover, this was only one of the problems.

Another important problem was that when Roderick had first met Ella, he had been surprised to discover that Ella’s mageforce aura was even stronger than his.

He himself was a peak Magus of the ninth rank. He was just a step away from becoming a Sage.

Ella was even more powerful than him. This meant that that girl was already a Sage expert…

Roderick had been shocked.

How long had it been since Lin Lei had accepted Ella as his disciple?

In addition, Lin Lei had been in the ruins for only three or four months.

In such a short period of time, he had actually guided Ella to become a Sage???

Was he a fiend?

Roderick had almost fainted from fear.

Most importantly, Ella had always been known as the stupidest person in the entire sect.

If Lin Lei was able to teach such a slow-witted little girl to such a level, then… if he was given a few more talented disciples, wouldn’t he be able to directly guide them to the Great Sage?

This was what Roderick had been thinking at the time.

Not long after he thought of this, he soon heard another shocking news:

Walton, who had just become a Great Sage, had actually taken Lin Lei as his master!

In addition, he had also said that the reason why he had been able to become a Great Sage was due to Lin Lei’s guidance!

Roderick was unable to sit still now!

The idea of taking Lin Lei as his master had arisen from that moment!

But what was different now was that at that time, Roderick had felt that Lin Lei was still just an instructor of the Li Fire Sect. If he took Lin Lei as his master, perhaps his disciples would laugh at him.

But now, things were different!

Right now, Walton had already said: Lin Lei was the Eastern Emperor .After Gandalf, he was a genius destined to become a famous figure throughout the ages!

With such a status, he, Roderick, was completely qualified!

Not only would the disciples of the sect not say anything, they would even be envious of him!

In fact, based on the standards of the Li Fire Sect, he might not have been qualified…

As Roderick was thinking about this, he only had one thought in his mind:

After Lin Lei came out of secluded meditation, he would immediately kowtow to him without saying anything!

Just as he was thinking this resolutely, he suddenly heard Bud, who had been silent for a long time, speak in the main hall.

He let out a long sigh, then said…

“I originally thought that Lin Lei had just relied on luck to acquire the Pearl of Relic in the ruins and became the Eastern Emperor.”

“But I didn’t expect that he would actually gain the approval of the Eastern Emperor Bell…”

“The Eastern Emperor can be acquired by luck, but the Eastern Emperor’s Bell…”

“It definitely can only be acquired by a great genius with great luck…”

“It seems Lin Lei’s future destiny is unfathomable…”

Bud sighed as he spoke.

After hearing his words, Walton couldn’t help but nod in agreement.

Only, what he didn’t expect was that after Bud finished speaking, he suddenly changed the topic and began to speak slowly.

“For a genius like Lin Lei, his future will definitely not be smooth sailing. It is precisely because he needs someone like me to go through life and death with him, to go through thick and thin with him. Thus, I’ve decided to take Lin Lei as my master… Brother Walton, you took Lin Lei as your master first. Logically speaking, I should address you as ‘Senior Apprentice-Brother’, and you should address me as ‘Junior Apprentice-Brother’. But given our friendship, there’s no need to care about such formalities!”

Bud’s face was full of the expression of “no need to mention” as he reached out and patted Walton on the shoulder.

But after hearing these words, Walton was completely stunned!

Walton: ????

What the hell?

No, Brother Bud, wasn’t this turn of events a little too abrupt???

The first sentence was about how Lin Lei was fated to have great fortune, and the second sentence was about to go through life and death together???

Your logic wasn’t right!

Did Lin Lei agree to die together with you? ? Did you just rush up to him like that?

In addition, what did going through death together have to do with becoming Lin Lei’s master??

It completely had nothing to do with it…

Motherf*cker, what did this have to do with you not addressing me as Senior Apprentice-Brother?

Why didn’t you address me as Senior Apprentice-Brother?

No!

Absolutely Not!

This is not negotiable!

You have to address me “Senior Apprentice-Brother”, not a single word less!

Walton thought furiously in his heart. After sorting out the layers of relationships in Bud’s words, he raised his head and stared at him fiercely. Just as he was about to retort Bud’s words harshly, he suddenly felt another hand on his shoulder and said in a deep voice,

“Bud is right. Someone like Lin Lei, who has such great fortune, will definitely have a hard time in the future. Therefore, he will need to have many loyal friends like me by his side. Since that’s the case, I am reluctantly willing to accept Lin Lei as my master. Oh yes, since Bud and Walton, you two seniors, no longer refer to each other as fellow disciples, then… in the future, I won’t have to address you as fellow disciples. Let’s just address each other by names.”

This voice clearly came from William.

The moment he saw the Eastern Emperor’s Bell, he had actually decided to take Lin Lei as his master. It was just that he hadn’t been able to bring himself to say it out loud.

At the moment he heard Bud say those shameless words, he didn’t care anymore and follow suit.

But just as he finished speaking, Walton and Bud both turned their heads at the same time, letting out a ‘bah ‘in unison. Then, they said in unison.

“No! You must address me Senior Apprentice-Brother from now on! !”

“Huh?”

After Walton finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Bud with a face full of disbelief.

“Good! You shameless fellow! You don’t want to address me Senior Apprentice-Brother, but you want William to address you. You’re really too thick-skinned!”

Walton said in exasperation!

Following that, the three of them began to quarrel with each other.

…

In the main hall, the disciples of the Li Fire Sect watched as these three experts continued to quarrel with each other with their faces turning red. They wanted to stop the fight, but they didn’t dare. They wanted to laugh, but they didn’t dare. All they could do was hold back their laughter until their faces turned red.

…

But of course, upon seeing this, many people began to admire Lin Lei even more. They felt that being able to be in the same sect with Lin Lei was an enormous honor!

As for Roderick, the excitement on his face faded away, replaced by a look of disappointment…

Even old seniors like Bud and William were fighting over Lin Lei as their master…

It seemed that the chance of him becoming Lin Lei’s disciple was very low…

Roderick shook his head, thinking in disappointment.

He couldn’t help but think to himself: From the looks of it now, the other party probably wouldn’t be that interested in him giving the Li Fire Sect to Lin Lei.

After all, given Lin Lei’s status as the Eastern Emperor, establishing a more powerful sect was something that could be casually mentioned.

Then, what else could interest Lin Lei?

Roderick frowned as he thought to himself, his gaze slowly falling upon Natasha.

How about… suggesting that Natasha marry Lin Lei?

Roderick’s eyes lit up!
