Chapter 710: Accepting a Disciple 11

Every single one of them was a renowned alchemist in the Eastern Ling Kingdom, with the lowest being a intermediate alchemist, yet now, they were defeated by a beginner alchemist. How could they possibly bear this?

In fact, they didn't even understand how Master Rong Yun had allowed that girl to be shortlisted.

Compared to others, Emperor Jing's shock was even greater.

At this moment, he sat stiffly on the dragon throne, his gaze towards Su Luo extremely complex.

At this moment, the words Nangong Liuyun had said before leaving flashed in his mind.

He had said, regarding Su Luo, do not be surprised by any impossible things that happen to her, because she has that kind of luck. If he dared to make things difficult for Su Luo, when he returned, he would tear the entire empire into pieces. These were Nangong Liuyun's exact words.

Emperor Jing still remembered how, when Nangong Liuyun said those words, the room was shrouded in frost, the temperature dropping to freezing point, giving him the illusion of seeing the God of Death.

Emperor Jing stared blankly at Su Luo, swallowing with difficulty.

So many intermediate and advanced alchemists were looked down upon by Master Rong Yun to such an extent, but Su Luo, this tiny beginner alchemist, actually… was shortlisted?

If this isn't luck, what is?

"Your Majesty, should we go to the Yaochi Li family…" The chief eunuch subtly reminded Emperor Jing.

Just now, Emperor Jing had already ordered the betrothal gifts to be prepared, and now that the gifts were ready, it was time to propose.

This kind of matter is best done sooner rather than later.

At this moment, Emperor Jing's mind was in a state of confusion, very conflicted, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

After thinking it over and over, he still decided to wait and see, and wait until Master Rong Yun chose the real disciple before saying anything. That way, he wouldn't make a mistake again.

At that time, proposing to the Yaochi Li family, presumably Nangong would also be able to understand.

"Let's… wait a little longer." Waiting for the result is the safest option.

Emperor Jing didn't believe that Su Luo could win; he trusted Nangong Liuyun's judgment.

This kind of news always spread very quickly.

Before Su Luo even returned to the mansion, the news had spread throughout the Su Mansion like a virus.

Su Zi'an had originally thought that Su Luo would make a fool of herself at the Golden Palace, and was extremely worried, but then he suddenly heard such good news from outside, and was instantly stunned.

What? Su Luo was actually shortlisted?

And this was when many intermediate and advanced alchemists were looked down upon and scorned by Master Rong Yun, and Su Luo was even late, yet she could still be shortlisted? How could the heavens be so kind to her!

How many secrets is this brat still hiding from him?

First, she hid her talents and secretly cultivated.

Then she kept her identity as an alchemist completely hidden.

If it weren't for Master Rong Yun taking on disciples this time, he, as a father, probably wouldn't have known that his daughter was actually an alchemist even in his next life.

Watching Su Luo return to the mansion, Su Zi'an originally wanted to go up to her immediately.

But he thought about it and felt that it would be too undignified and would make him lose face as a father, so he cleared his throat, sat properly in the main hall, and waited for Su Luo to come and pay her respects to him.

However, he waited and waited but Su Luo didn't come.

Didn't the servants say that this brat had returned to the mansion? It's been a long time, even if she crawled, she should have crawled from the mansion entrance to this main hall by now.

Su Zi'an composed himself, and glared at the hurried steward: "Where is the fourth young lady? Why isn't she here yet?"

A hint of awkwardness flashed across the steward's expression: "The fourth, the fourth young lady went directly back to the Wisteria Courtyard…"

In other words, Su Zi'an sitting here waiting was wishful thinking?

Su Zi'an's face immediately darkened.
