Hesitant, Jin Pingyue did not answer or decline.
Qin Zongheng knitted his eyebrows, "Your ladyship, I haven't rewarded your kindness, but now I need to ask for your help again. The picture is important both to Gu Tianba and me. I hope you can help us to find the picture for my sake. I thank you in advance!" He also kneeled down.
Not until Qin Zongheng begged her, did she reveal her attitude. She smiled, walked towards him and pulled him up, "Mr. Qin, please stand up!"
Qin Zongheng was astounded, whispering, "You agree?"
She beamed, "I can help you to get back the picture. But you need to answer my request."
Qin Zongheng replied eagerly, "I'm in your debt. I'll do whatever you ask me to do!"
She nodded, "I'm old now and always looking for a disciple for myself in case my martial skills will be buried with me…"
Gu Tianba interrupted, and winked at Gu Yuetao eagerly, "Your ladyship wants to claim a disciple? How about my grandson? He's a widely known martial arts genius. He will carry forward your martial skills!"
Gu Yuetao, a smart guy, understood his grandpa's meaning. Besides, he also thought it a golden chance. Jin Pingyue was superior to his grandpa. It was rare to meet such a perfect master.
He kneeled down before her, "If your ladyship is willing to claim me as your disciple, I'll work hard and never disappoint you!"
Qin Zongheng was irritated before Jin Pingyue's answer, "Gu Tianba, your grandson is genius. Mine is a fool? Her ladyship comes to pick her disciple from Clan Qin. You just stand away! Feixiong, what are you doing there? Come here, claim her ladyship as your master! "
Qin Feixiong scuttled and intended to kneel down. However, Jin Pingyue floated aside to avoid him.
Gu Yuetao was delighted that Jin Pingyue did not satisfy with Qin Feixiong, flattering himself that he was chosen by her. He was to kowtow, but she also dodged. Both Qin Feixiong and Gu Yuetao did not give up the rare chance and chased her to be her disciple. It looked funny then.
Her continuous avoidance did not work. As she smiled bitterly and uplifted her hand, a trace of dense energy heaved Qin Feixiong and Gu Yuetao off the ground.
"Your ladyship, please claim me as your disciple. I'll work hard!" Qin Feixiong responded anxiously.
"Your ladyship, I swear to carry forward your martial techniques…"
"Alright, you two are good, but one step to reach my requirement." She shook hands.
Qin Zongheng and Gu Tianba stared at each other. They could not imagine who would outdo their grandsons, the two top marital talents.
She turned to Qin Zongheng, "Mr. Qin, I hope you can persuade your second grandson to be my disciple."
"What? The useless man?" Gu Tianba shrieked.
Qin Zongheng was astounded at first, but figured out that the one Jin Pingyue selected was Qin Dong, not his second grandson. Both Gu Yuetao and Qin Feixiong were not Qin Dong's match.
"Your ladyship, are you mistaken? Though the dragon envoy of Clan Qin as he is, the second grandson of Qin Zongheng is acknowledged to be a dawdler. You really want to claim him as your disciple?"
"Gu Tianba, be polite. Don't forget here's Clan Qin, not your home! Stop your crap!" Qin Zongheng could not bear listening any longer, although what Gu Tianba said was truth.
Gu Tianba snorted, and curled his lips, "You cannot change the fact, no matter now furious you are."
Jin Pingyue reckoned that Gu Tianba was incapable of recognizing Qin Dong's gift, unaware of the relationship between Qin Dong and the real second young master.
