Wang Zhu was bewildered. Was this what it meant to call upon a master? He glanced around the room and, without hesitation, knelt before the figure that made him feel most at ease.
In a deep voice, he said, "Tide Emperor, I wish to become your disciple."
Yun Zhi Yue's mouth fell open; was there anyone more shameless than him? She had learned from him.
Tide Emperor paused, playing with the azure wine gourd in his hand. With a smirk, he looked at the kneeling Wang Zhu and asked, "Aren't you supposed to be seeking Li Shang Di Jun as your master?"
"Li Shang Di Jun already has a disciple. I can't compete with her," Wang Zhu replied.
"Oh? So Ben Jun is your second choice?" Tide Emperor raised an eyebrow.
Wang Zhu hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. "That's not it. I heard that Li Shang Di Jun is quite formidable in combat, which is why I wanted to seek her as my master. But now that I've seen you, Tide Emperor, I realize I've come to the wrong place."
Tide Emperor's presence was overwhelming; his immense power captivated Wang Zhu. "Seeing you makes me forget everything else. I almost wanted to back out just now but didn't have the courage. Besides, since Li Shang Di Jun already has a disciple, she shouldn't hold it against me."
Tide Emperor smiled slyly. "What if Ben Jun doesn't want to take on a disciple?"
Wang Zhu thought for a moment and replied, "Then I'll serve you as a maid for now. When you're ready to take on a disciple, I'll come back to seek your guidance."
"Ah, a maid, huh? Just wait then. We'll discuss your apprenticeship when we return to Tide Palace. This Wujie isn't a place for Ben Jun to be overshadowed."
His words clearly had an undertone of flattery mixed with dismissal, prompting Yun Zhi Yue to stir the pot further.
Yun Zhi Yue intentionally mentioned Suye Emperor first, leaving herself an escape route. If Li Shang Di Jun were to get angry and use her as a scapegoat, she could easily throw Suye Emperor under the bus.
After all, she hadn't come here willingly; it was purely for self-preservation.
At this moment, Heavenly Emperor's intentions toward her were uncertain and heavily depended on Li Shang's disposition.
Yun Zhi Yue felt anxious; she didn't know what kind of temperament Li Shang Di Jun had. This course of action was indeed risky, but as Yue Qi had said, she had been prepared since stepping into the heavenly realm.
It was just a gamble with her life—something she had done before. To establish herself in the heavenly realm, she needed clear backing from an Imperial Realm figure; otherwise, she would struggle under Yue Qi's influence.
With so many Emperors present, how could she not feel nervous? She unconsciously tightened her grip on her black sleeves.
Suddenly feeling an uncontrollable heat within her heart—a sensation that made her feel like she might turn to ashes—she realized something was wrong: Bi Fang Emperor had targeted her!
It was indeed Mingfu Ren stirring up trouble among the Emperors; they must be punished!
Everything went dark as she was enveloped in black sleeves that shielded her from the burning sensation. She couldn't see anything and instinctively grasped the only cool hand she could sense.
She heard Yue Qi exclaiming that someone was courting death; the ground shook violently. Yet strangely enough, she felt an inexplicable sense of calmness.
As two Imperial Realm figures clashed nearby, danger loomed all around them. Yet wrapped in those sleeves and surrounded by a cool fragrance, she felt oddly unafraid—a curious feeling indeed.
The two were about to fight, so they decided to leave Wujie. With the Apprentice Ceremony concluded successfully, there was no need to keep everyone else around.
Yue Qi and Bi Fang paused their confrontation, both surprised as they turned to look at Li Shang. At that moment, Yun Zhi Yue was completely enveloped in a black robe, her face hidden, leaning against Li Shang's leg.
While the scene was somewhat amusing, Li Shang's posture was undoubtedly protective; it was clear who this apprentice was.
Feng Rujiao wore a face full of reluctance. "Li Shang Di Jun, have you thought this through? Do you know how much trouble lies behind her? After today, will Wujie truly be at peace?"
