Chapter 3654: Taking a Disciple with Great Effort

Becoming a disciple of Du Xingwen was something countless people dreamed of.

None of them knew that Xiao Fan had already rejected Du Xingwen once before; this was the second time Du Xingwen had made the offer.

If they knew, their jaws would surely drop.

"Kid, how about it? Become my disciple… This old man will help you solve your troubles." Du Xingwen flew in front of Xiao Fan, wearing a kind smile.

At this moment, Du Xingwen believed that the boy becoming his disciple was a sure thing.

He was even somewhat grateful to You Jianhua; if the other man hadn't come looking for trouble, he wouldn't have had such a good opportunity to step forward and take a disciple.

Of course.

You Jianhua was completely unaware of these things; if he knew, his expression would surely be very strange.

In the eyes of everyone nearby, there was no reason at all for Xiao Fan to refuse such excellent terms.

Even Feng Yuliu, who had arrived nearby with Su Zimin, thought the same; becoming Du Xingwen's disciple was certainly Xiao Fan's best choice right now.

At this moment, Feng Yuliu stared at Xiao Fan, praying in her heart for him to quickly agree to become a disciple…

Right then, Xiao Fan spoke a sentence that left everyone dumbfounded.

"No, I appreciate Senior's kindness…" Xiao Fan shook his head and cupped his fists in thanks toward Du Xingwen.

"Hmm? Kid, you're refusing me?!" Hearing this, Du Xingwen's expression froze, revealing a look of disbelief.

Hearing Xiao Fan's refusal, not only was Du Xingwen stunned, but everyone else nearby was also stunned…

He refused?!

Elder Du Xingwen had taken the initiative to offer apprenticeship and even help solve his troubles, yet this person actually refused?!

In the eyes of the crowd, Xiao Fan's behavior was somewhat ungrateful.

"Yes, Senior… my apologies." Xiao Fan bowed with cupped fists once more.

Seeing Xiao Fan's refusal, You Jianhua was first stunned, then overjoyed: "Hahaha… Kid, you are very interesting!"

At this moment, You Jianhua's heart could be said to have risen from the depths.

He had originally thought there was no chance to kill the other party, but the other party had given up the opportunity themselves.

Even the Palace Master of Biyun Divine Palace was stunned for a few breaths, looking at Xiao Fan in disbelief, wondering what was going on in the kid's head.

"You… do you understand your situation? Kid!" Du Xingwen spoke in disbelief.

"I do." Xiao Fan nodded.

"You really do?!"

"I really do. Senior, don't worry, I can solve these troubles myself," Xiao Fan nodded and said calmly.

"This… alright then." Du Xingwen was stunned for a moment and shook his head in disappointment.

In everyone's eyes, Du Xingwen would surely be exasperated, thinking Xiao Fan was ungrateful and becoming angry out of shame…

However, Du Xingwen's subsequent thoughts surprised everyone nearby.

Du Xingwen looked at You Jianhua and spoke calmly, "I've taken a liking to this kid. If you kill him, you'll be my enemy. Do you understand?!"

You Jianhua: "??????"

The crowd nearby: "??????"

Hearing Du Xingwen's words, You Jianhua was completely dumbfounded. However, by the time he snapped out of it and wanted to ask further, Du Xingwen had already vanished.

The others nearby were also shocked, wondering why Du Xingwen, who always had an eccentric temper, would speak up to protect this person.

The Palace Master of Biyun Divine Palace felt the same; he never expected Du Xingwen to think so highly of Xiao Fan.

In truth, Du Xingwen was indeed angry in his heart after being rejected by Xiao Fan again.

But later, Du Xingwen let it go, feeling that for someone with such a Prodigy Alchemy talent like Xiao Fan, having a bit of a strange personality was nothing…

Therefore, Du Xingwen spoke this way, firstly to protect Xiao Fan, and secondly to gain Xiao Fan's goodwill.

Du Xingwen planned to slowly touch Xiao Fan's heart… thereby making Xiao Fan willing to become his disciple.

If the people of Biyun Divine Palace knew of Du Xingwen's painstaking efforts, they would be even more surprised.

Who would have thought that the eccentric Du Xingwen would go to such great lengths to take a disciple?

Initially, Feng Yuliu was anxious upon hearing Xiao Fan's refusal, but hearing Du Xingwen's words before he left, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

With Du Xingwen speaking up, Xiao Fan shouldn't be in any life-threatening danger, and You Jianhua wouldn't dare to go too far afterward.
