Chapter Eighty-Five: Recruiting Disciples

  Shen Bing walked up to Qin Xiao Tian's side and patted his shoulder: "Kid, what are you doing here?"

  Qin Xiaotian was so scared that he shuddered, and hurriedly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. He looked at Shen Bing nodding and bowing, saying: Big brother, I want to become your apprentice, can you help me ask?

  "Apprentice?" Shen Bing asked in confusion.

  Yes, it's the one wearing a mask. I'm going to ask him to be my master. He's too powerful, if I can learn even a bit of his skills... hehe, that would be awesome!

  Everyone burst out laughing after hearing his words. Shen Bing chuckled and said: "You really know how to flatter, do you know who he is?"

  Qin Xiaotian shook his head.

  From afar, I heard their laughter. With a thought, I took a stride and arrived beside them, asking: "What's going on?" This was also the first benefit of my increased power, which is being able to use the Shrink Distance Technique.

  "The mad dog saw me just about to speak, when suddenly I heard a thud, and Qin Xiaotian knelt down and said: Master, please accept your disciple's bow."

  I saw Qin Xiaotian kneel down and call me Master, so I understood what was going on. I stretched out my hand and with a wave of it, a pale blue energy lifted him up. Smiling, I said: Do you want to make me your master?

  Qin Xiaotian couldn't kneel down no matter how hard he tried, so he stood there, rubbing his head with his hands and said sincerely: Yes, I want to ask you to be my master.

  But I couldn't see his sincerity anywhere, when I narrowed my eyes to look at him, his head would shake back and forth, his eyeballs rolling around restlessly, not daring to meet my gaze.

  "You want me to be your master? That can be arranged, but you have to do something for me first. How about it?"

  Qin Xiaotian's eyes lit up with excitement after hearing my words and said: Master, what do you want me to do? Even if I die, I will help you complete it.

  "Don't call me master just yet, and don't answer so hastily. I pointed at the ghost and said: Do you see that person?"

  Qin Xiaotian nodded slightly.

  I continued: He was called a ghost, but now he has really become a ghost and died. He is a member of the Sun family and came to kill me because I killed Sun Hao.

  Qin Xiaotian stood there, stunned and speechless. He thought he had gotten lucky this time, but it turned out they were the ones who killed Sun Hao. So, the task they asked me to do isn't as easy as I thought. If I follow them and acknowledge him as my master, what if the Sun family comes after us? Wouldn't we be in grave danger? If I don't agree, will they kill me to silence me? Qin Xiaotian stood there, sweating profusely, not knowing what to do, and feeling like slapping himself. Suddenly, his eyes lit up - damn it, why was he so stupid? Since they could easily kill Sun Hao, their power must be immense, far surpassing the Sun family's. Just look at how they killed those people sent by the Sun family earlier! Even if the Sun family comes after us in the future, can they take him down? Besides, following him and making a big impact would be better than living a life of obscurity like I am now. Even if I die, it'll be worth it; if not, it'll be a meteoric rise to wealth and glory, with endless enjoyment.

  I saw him standing there, sweating profusely and not saying a word. I knew what he was thinking. With a faint smile on my face, I looked at him with curiosity, really wanting to know how he would choose.

  "Just then I saw Qin Xiaotian looking at me with an unwavering gaze and said: I've decided, I'll follow you and become your apprentice."
