Chapter 766: Completed the training and came out of retreat 5

"This junior's apprenticeship, what does it have to do with you, senior? Senior, you should leave quickly, otherwise you might not be able to anymore. Google search for reading."

Li Yaoyao gritted her teeth, feigning composure.

If a few words from Immortal Smoke Mist could make her retreat, then how would she have the face to stand in the world in the future? How would the world see her?

Therefore, Li Yaoyao had to resolutely refuse. Even though the strange smile on Immortal Smoke Mist's lips made her heart tremble with fear.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I haven't come out of seclusion for many years, and even a little yellow-haired girl is bullying me." Immortal Smoke Mist scoffed, glancing at Li Yaoyao, then her gaze met Grandmaster Rong Yun's.

"The thing you promised back then, does it still count?" Immortal Smoke Mist stared intently at Grandmaster Rong Yun.

In the Golden Palace, everyone below the steps was extremely curious.

Although they didn't dare to meet Immortal Smoke Mist's flamboyant gaze, nor did they dare to meet Grandmaster Rong Yun's eyes, which were as deep as a secluded pool.

However, in their lowered eyes, a blazing fire of gossip was flickering.

Grandmaster Rong Yun and Immortal Smoke Mist… did they really have a secret affair back then?

What was it that Grandmaster Rong Yun promised Immortal Smoke Mist?

But they couldn't urge, nor did they dare to make a sound, they could only quietly wait for the gossip to explode on its own.

After a long time, Grandmaster Rong Yun's soft sigh was heard.

"Little Yan, why do you have to be like this?"

A small nickname, but it made Immortal Smoke Mist's body tremble slightly. When she looked up again, there was a trace of melting in her ice-cold eyes.

"I just want to be like this, what are you going to do about it!" Seeing Rong Yun's tightly furrowed and slightly troubled handsome face, a thick maliciousness flashed across Immortal Smoke Mist's face.

Back then, when she confessed her feelings to him, he had the same expression…

She absolutely hated this expression of his.

"Little Yan, why do you have to be like this?" Grandmaster Rong Yun sighed, looking quite troubled.

"Tell me! Does that promise still count!"

Immortal Smoke Mist, who was originally detached from worldly affairs, was just a mortal in front of the person she loved.

Grandmaster Rong Yun thought for a moment, clearly finding it difficult to decide. After pondering for a while, he looked at Li Yaoyao.

"Are you determined to become an apprentice?"

Li Yaoyao didn't know what Grandmaster Rong Yun and Immortal Smoke Mist were up to.

But the matter of becoming an apprentice, she was absolutely resolute.

What a difficult price the Li family of Jade Lake had paid to make her an apprentice?

So, Li Yaoyao took a step forward, bowed and said, "Yes, I, Yaoyao, am determined to become your apprentice."

Grandmaster Rong Yun's eyes paused: "Have you really thought it through?"

Grandmaster Rong Yun, who was originally indifferent and elegant, was acting unusually, seeming a bit long-winded.

This was not something his personality would normally do.

However, although Li Yaoyao felt that Grandmaster Rong Yun was acting strangely, she was occupied by the obsession of becoming an apprentice and nodded solemnly: "Yes!"

"Then kneel down." Grandmaster Rong Yun sighed slowly, seemingly with some regret.

Hearing this, Li Yaoyao's heart filled with joy.

After enduring countless hardships, Grandmaster Rong Yun was finally going to take her as a disciple!

So, Li Yaoyao, overjoyed to the point of tears, immediately knelt down on both knees and kowtowed three times in a row.

However, just as she finished kowtowing three times, Grandmaster Rong Yun's figure had already moved three zhang away.

In his place was Immortal Smoke Mist's distorted and smiling face!

"Hahaha, Li Yaoyao, hurry up and pay your respects to your master!" Immortal Smoke Mist looked at her with a sinister smile, her eyes full of malice.

Facing this sudden drastic change, Li Yaoyao was completely stunned.
