Chapter 586: Intimidating!

“Huh?” Lou Qianxue narrowed her eyes. “You want to take me as your disciple? Why?”

Master Meng earnestly looked at her. “Miss Lou, in your first attempt at weapon refinery, you refined a Spirit Item that could increase offensive strength by thirty percent. Your talent is simply appalling. It is a refiner’s dream to personally nurture a genius like you.”

“However, between your disciple and I, only one will be alive after a month. Do you wish for Lu Liang to lose?” Lou Qianyue strangely looked at him.

“Sigh! If he really loses, it’ll be because he’s not as skillful as you.” Master Meng benevolently looked at Lou Qianxue. “It’s survival of the fittest, isn’t it?”

Lou Qianxue raised her eyebrows. “Then, I can’t understand you. If someone more talented than me appears in the future, will you also abandon me for them?”

“Um…” Master Meng was stunned.

Lou Qianxue indifferently looked at him. “Once a master, always a master. I admit that survival of the fittest is the law of survival, but…”

Her face instantly sank. “But I don’t like to apply this kind of law on loved ones and friends! People who walk different paths can’t make plans together! Hence, Master Meng, I will not be your disciple.”

“…” Master Meng’s face got distorted. However, he instantly composed himself and said, “Miss Lou, you may not know that I’m the most impressive refiner in the Refinery Union. I—”

“I know.” Lou Qianxue interrupted him. “I heard about your prestige when I came yesterday. Frankly speaking, I indeed wanted to learn from you yesterday, but now…” She shook her head.

“Lou Qianxue, I won’t do anything more than three times. I have already asked you twice, and you have rejected me both times. Now…” A tinge of impatience appeared on his face. He coldly said, “I’m asking you for the third time. Are you really unwilling to be my disciple?”

With ridicule in her eyes, Lou Qianxue replied, “Of course, I’m unwilling.”

“You!” Master Meng became furious. “Lou Qianxue! Do you know how many people in this Imperial city have queued up to be my disciple but have failed? It’s your blessing that I’m favoring you!”

Lou Qianxue indifferently withdrew her gaze. “If you’re looking for me because of this matter, then, farewell.”

After saying that, she turned around…

“Stay there!” Master Meng’s body suddenly turned cold. A powerful pressure fiercely pressed onto Lou Qianxue. “Humph, wretch, you better think properly. Your opponent for the bet is my disciple!”

He maliciously sneered. “Do you believe that once I let the word out, will anyone in the Imperial city teach you weapon refinery? By then, you can only wait to die at the weapons bet one month later!”

“…” Lou Qianxue turned around and expressionlessly looked at him. “So it’s like this…”

“Wretch, what did you say?”

“When I came to the Refinery Union just now, I had felt very strange. A proper and famous master from the Refinery Union wanted to see me. And, he actually fixed the venue at the hall. Now that I think about it, you wanted to let me ‘wait’ there for Lu Liang?”

Master Meng’s expression changed.

“You secretly triggered the conflict between Lu Liang and me. You even plotted the weapons bet between Lu Liang and me in advance! It was no wonder that you brought the date of the weapons bet ahead by two months. Your motive was to force me to worship you as my master at this moment, right?”

“Such an impressive little b*tch!” Maliciousness appeared on Master Meng’s face. “I didn’t expect you to see through me. It’s just that you’re wrong regarding a point. The weapons bet was Lu Liang’s own idea. It was not what I had planned. However, the fact that he knew you were coming to the Refinery Union and even went to the hall to look for you, it was all under my arrangements.”
