C30 – His Disguise
Since his master had no intention of accepting him as a disciple, there was little he could do about it. Then, a thought struck him.
“Young Master Yun, I have an adversary out there. Surely that won’t bring trouble your way, will it?” He couldn’t risk leading his relentless disciple straight to his master’s doorstep.
“Let’s hear about this disciple of yours,” Yun Haoyan prompted, his curiosity piqued about how Miao Hujin’s own student had managed to wreak such havoc on him.
In his past life, Yun Haoyan had been too weak for his master to share any details about enemies, merely whisking him away to the Primordial Realm.
Miao Hujin, upon hearing Yun Haoyan’s request, displayed a mix of emotions. “My nemesis is my sole disciple, Jin Qiwei. He’s the reason my Dantian is destroyed and I’m riddled with poison. He coveted the Divine Pill Refining Furnace I accidentally came across and conspired with others to ambush me. This treacherous disciple blindsided me and struck me down. Had it not been for an eighth-grade life and death pill, I would’ve perished by his hand long ago. Thankfully, my strength was substantial—I had reached the Martial King Realm and possessed several pills that could temporarily boost my power level. After slaying a few of his accomplices, I managed to escape.”
As he recounted the betrayal, Miao Hujin’s eyes darkened with loathing. “He’s despicable. Such a person deserves death!” Yun Haoyan’s eyes also simmered with a vengeful fury. In his last life, he lacked the power, but this time around, he was determined to annihilate that monster.
“Don’t fret, I’m not one to take oppression lying down. Should he dare to come after me, I’ll end him myself.”
“Can the Yun family really fend off a Martial King’s assault?” Miao Hujin couldn’t hide his astonishment.
“Excellent,” Pill King Miao Hujin bellowed with a hearty laugh. “That puts my mind at ease!”
Yun Haoyan went on, “There’s a favor I need to ask of you.”
“Name it. If it’s within my power, I’ll spare no effort,” Miao Hujin replied, stroking his beard with a chuckle.
With the crisis averted and vengeance within sight, Pill King Miao Hujin’s demeanor had undergone a profound transformation.
“It’s a bit awkward,” Yun Haoyan began, “but I told my father I’ve taken on a mysterious and powerful figure as my master, which accounts for my abilities. So, I need you to pose as my master.”
“What?” Miao Hujin blanched, hastily gesturing in refusal. “How can I agree to that? I can’t possibly pretend to be your master.”
“No, absolutely not. That’s out of the question.”
