She looked at Qin Zongheng, "Mr. Qin, I met Qin Dong once and asked him to be my disciple. But he turned me down. I hope you can persuade him to accept my offer. I do hope he can be my disciple. If he insists on refusing me, I won't force him. As long as he's willing to carry forward my martial skills, I don't care the reputation of being his master."
"Ah?" Gu Tianba was astonished. So were Gu Yuetao and Qin Feixiong, still kneeling there.
Jin Pingyue was willing to abandon the reputation of master, if Qin Dong could learn from her. How unimaginable!
Gu Yuetao and Qin Feixiong begged for the chance, but Qin Dong rejected it. What a contrast it was!
Gu Tianba was surprised because he knew nothing about Qin Dong. But Qin Zongheng understood that Qin Dong deserved Jin Pingyue's sincere offer.
Qin Zongheng would like to say yes. With the help of this master hand, the position of Clan Qin would stabilize. However, he could not make the decision for Qin Dong, uncertain about Qin Dong's idea.
Qin Zongheng did not dare to answer Jin Pingyue immediately or neglect her. When he was embarrassed, Zhao Jin stormed from outside with a sullen look.
He screamed before Qin Zongheng asked, "Your lordship, an unknown martial artist rushed inside. We…we cannot prevent him!" It could be inferred from Zhao Jin's aghast that the martial artist must be awesome.
All of a sudden, deafening wild laughter came and scared everyone when Qin Zongheng was to scurry out to check who the master hand was.
As if coming from the heavens, the powerful laughter spread into ears, transformed into an invisible drumstick and pounded the hearers' hearts. Horrible, Qin Zongheng and Gu Tianba frowned.
"Ha…ha…ha… Where is Mr. Qin?" The drunk monk arrived.
"Its' you!" Gu Tianba, Gu Yuetao and Gu Yunting screeched. Especially Gu Tianba, he was excited with hairs standing on their ends and glared at the monk breathlessly, as though seeing the rapist of his wife.
The monk landed at ease, and was awkward and astonished to see Gu Tianba, just like the thief met the owner of the property.
"Ha…ha… What a…coincidence." The monk stroked his shiny bald head, simpering.
"Coincidence! I'm looking for you. But you come to me by yourself!" Agitated, Gu Tianba swallowed mouthfuls of slaver and turned to Jin Pingyue, "Your ladyship, he is the guy that rushed into my home and robbed Zhenyi Picture. Please help us to get it back!"
The monk cast his look at Jin Pingyue along Gu Tianba's eyesight, giggling, "Pingyue, you're here? Ha…ha…"
She smiled bitterly, "Monk, you flatter yourself as a righteous man, but a robber actually. I'll tell your deeds to Brother Lin. He'll teach you a lesson!"
The monk waved hands and begged for mercy, "I'm forced to do that! Please don't tell that to Brother Lin. Otherwise, I'll be miserable!"
The conversation stunned Gu Tianba. He planned to snatch the picture from the monk with the help of Jin Pingyue. But they were known to each other. Dismayed, he realized that it was impossible to get back the picture.
Jin Pingyue laughed, "That's your plan? I see! Ha…ha…Monk, let's see how you will deal with the situation this time!"
The monk was worried when learning that Jin Pingyue was Qin Zongheng's savior and intended to persuade Qin Dong to be her disciple through Qin Zongheng. Thanks to his erudition, he found the relationship among Zhenyi Picture, Clan Qin and Clan Gu. He robbed the picture from Gu Tianba and wanted to build a good relationship with Qin Zonghen with it. In such a case, the monk would not be lagged behind by Jin Pingyue in the race of contending for the disciple.
