"Then there's no mistake, I think you must have eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's gall, daring to have designs on my master's wife. See if I don't deck you with 'peach blossoms on your face' today!" With that, he lifted Hu Pei, ready to test out the moves he'd just learned from Luo Chao on him.

Seeing that he was really about to start a fight, Hu Pei frantically kicked and bounced around. However, he dared not call for his bodyguards. Though his family was wealthy, they couldn't compare to the Hua Family, who were rich and influential, dealing in both black and white circles. If relations soured, even his family's business would be affected. Moreover, he didn't think his few half-baked bodyguards could take on Hua Liunian.

He couldn't beat Luo Chao, easily handling a few of them would still be more than enough.

"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore, from now on I'll take a detour when I see Miss Tang or Brother Luo Chao, I swear I'll never appear in front of you again."

Seeing the massive fist about to land on his face, Hu Pei hastily shouted.

Hua Liunian stopped, his fist hovering right in front of Hu Pei's nose, turning to see what Luo Chao had to say.

"That won't do, we're still counting on you for Uncle Yang's matter! Besides, what if someday I have an urgent need for your help?" Luo Chao shrugged, chuckling as he spoke.

"I'll be there at your call, as long as Brother Luo needs anything, I'll do my best," Hu Pei blurted out, agreeing without hesitation. Right now he just wanted to keep his handsome little face intact.

"Damn! Are you taking advantage of me or what! You call my master 'Brother,' so what should I call you?" Hearing how he addressed Luo Chao, Hua Liunian was instantly displeased, raising his fist again to hit him.

"Master, we don't need to ask him for help; just call me if there's anything!"

"He's a local bully! More convenient than you," Luo Chao laughed, pulling Hu Pei away from Hua Liunian and even carefully tidying up his wrinkled clothes.

"We are friends, right? Your business is my business, isn't it?" Luo Chao patiently guided.

"Yes, yes, yes," Hu Pei replied hastily, finally relieved from the state of being threatened with a beating at any moment.

"That's good, I really appreciate you!" Luo Chao smiled contentedly.

At this point, seeing that the matter Luo Chao assigned was resolved, Hua Liunian, with his sunny and handsome face, rather roguishly said, "Master, can I formally become your disciple now?"

"Well..." Luo Chao hesitated, "Actually, I don't know any martial arts. I just figured out some fighting techniques to defeat enemies on my own."

He wasn't lying; his skills were entirely supported by Spiritual Power and Spiritual Sense. The techniques he used were merely fighting techniques without any form or style.

Unexpectedly, Hua Liunian became even more respectful after hearing this, full of admiration he said, "Master is truly worthy of being called Master, reaching the legendary realm where 'having no move beats having moves,' so impressive! The most effective skills are those that can harm the enemy. Master, I want to learn this, please teach me." As he spoke, he was about to kneel and accept Luo Chao as his master.

Luo Chao was almost choked by his praise, what on earth was this! What darn 'having no move beats having moves'! He quickly helped him up and with a generous gesture said, "It's all good, if you want to learn, I'll teach you."

"Really!" Hua Liunian first exclaimed in surprise, then worriedly said, "I've heard that masters like you from such sects have strict standards for accepting disciples. Am I qualified? Do I need to go back to the sect to check my qualifications?"

He always believed that Luo Chao was a reclusive master of Inner Boxing, and that such sects wouldn't easily accept disciples.

"Well... well, our sect currently only has me, so not many formalities," Luo Chao knew that if they continued, they'd be going even further off-topic, so he directly bluffed: "Therefore, I've decided to first accept you as a Registered Disciple, from now on you'll be the great chest of the Luo Chao Sect."

"Really!!?" This time Hua Liunian couldn't suppress his excitement any longer, he did a backflip and knelt down upon landing, kowtowing three times.

"Master, please accept this disciple's bow."

This action, and this line, why did it feel so familiar? Luo Chao thought about it thoroughly, damn, wasn't this exactly what the Monkey King did when he first emerged from the Five Finger Mountain? Damn, I suddenly became Tang Sanzang.

But then he thought, suddenly finding that it was quite fulfilling to be Tang Sanzang, with so many seductive female elves tempting, which man wouldn't be willing? If others don't, at least Luo Chao was more than willing!

"Ahem~~ no need to be so polite, for now, it's just the two of us here!" Luo Chao quickly got him to stand up, patted his shoulder, seemingly quite satisfied with this disciple: "Let me set it straight, I don't have much time to spend with you usually, I have lots of stuff going on."

"I understand, I understand," Hua Liunian excitedly replied, "For masters like you, there are surely many important matters to attend to, as long as you can spare some time now and then to guide your little disciple, I would be most grateful."

"Hmm, very good!" Luo Chao liked this attitude very much, seeking guidance should maintain a humble and cautious mindset like this, someone worth developing.

"Then, Master, do you have time now, could you teach your little disciple a move or two?" Hua Liunian cautiously asked, it wasn't that he was too impatient, but he had to seize every moment to learn skills, in case this master, like the Divine Dragon, disappears, he wouldn't know when he'd have a chance to learn again.

This posed a problem for Luo Chao, damn, those killing techniques of mine, all honed on the battlefield in life-or-death situations, just teaching the moves wouldn't have much use, one must experience life and death to grasp the essence, should I send this kid to the Middle East to train with assassins for two years?

After pondering, Luo Chao gave up on the idea, that place wasn't fit for humans, full of flesh and blood flying everywhere, without fighting a dozen encounters a day, don't expect to sleep well, Hua Liunian might have decent skills, but he probably hadn't killed anyone before, in such a cutthroat place, surviving till the next day would be lucky, this matter will be left for the future.

Apart from fighting techniques, all he had left was the Taiqing Profound Talisman Chapter, which was his foundation for survival, the Immortal Dharma Gate.

Things like Spirit Talismans and Spiritual Sense require cultivating immortality first. If such impressive stuff was casually taught to a disciple he'd met for less than an hour, Luo Chao would feel quite cheated.

After much thinking, there really wasn't anything good to give.

Seeing his newly acknowledged master remaining silent for long, Hua Liunian thought his own request was too abrupt, feeling a bit disappointed but eager to avoid leaving a bad impression, he quickly said: "Master, that was inconsiderate of me. If you don't have time, it's alright."
