Gu Chenan was silent. He only wanted to learn the Tang family's medical skills. He wasn't interested in anything else.
He didn't think he was selfish or indifferent. After all, his character setting was that of a villain. It would be considered merciful of him if he didn't use some despicable methods to seize the Tang family's medical skills.
But Tang Yunjin was taken aback when she heard Gu Chenan's inner thoughts.
Earlier, when she heard about Lin Yu in Gu Chenan's thoughts, she was already very surprised. But at that time, she was blinded by anger and didn't think much of it.
Now, when she heard about her parents from Gu Chenan's thoughts again, she was shocked!
Only a handful of people in the entire Donghai knew about her parents. How did Gu Chenan know?
Even if the Gu family was extremely influential in Donghai, what happened to her parents was in Yanjing!
Could it be that the Gu family also had considerable power in Yanjing?
"Alright, little Tang girl, you lost the bet. I can make a request now, right?" Gu Chenan spoke up at this time.
Tang Yunjin looked at Gu Chenan doubtfully and sadly, then slowly nodded: "Mr. Gu, please go ahead."
Gu Chenan rubbed his hands and said, "How about you teach me your family's medical skills?"
Tang Yunjin was shocked immediately!
Damn, aren't you asking for too much?!
The Tang family was renowned for their innate Qi Gong and ancient medical techniques. You've already mastered the innate Qi Gong, and now you want to learn the ancient medicine too?
If I teach you all the ancient medicine, you would have learned everything from the Tang family.
"This..." Tang Yunjin hesitated for a moment, and finally shook her head: "I'm afraid that's inappropriate."
【Come on, little sister, this was your bet. How can you go back on your word now?】
【Going back on your word means you'll get a spanking!】
【Or else, lie over big brother's lap and let me give your butt a good hard spanking. Then we'll consider this matter settled.】
Hmm?
Hearing Gu Chenan's inner voice, Tang Yunjin's cheeks instantly turned red. She awkwardly touched her own butt, then glared at Gu Chenan.
This was only their second meeting, and he already wanted to spank her?
What a scoundrel!
Tang Yunjin pouted: "Mr. Gu, I proposed this bet, and I'm not going back on my word. It's just that I promised my father I would never pass on the Tang family's medical skills to anyone outside the sect. So I'm afraid I can't obey you in this matter."
I see~
Gu Chenan shrugged.
In the original plot, Lin Yu was Tang Yunjin's disciple. That's why Tang Yunjin taught Lin Yu the medical skills.
But Gu Chenan had no relationship with Tang Yunjin despite learning the Tang family's martial arts. Naturally, Tang Yunjin wouldn't teach him the medical skills.
Thinking of this, Gu Chenan pursed his lips.
【Damn it, it's just taking me as a disciple. What's the big deal? As long as it allows me to take down Lin Yu, I'm willing to do it, not to mention becoming a disciple. Even if you ask me to marry into the family, I'd be willing!】
Gu Chenan took two steps back and knelt down on one knee before Tang Yunjin, performing the ritual of asking someone to become his master: "In that case, I'll take you as my master!"
Gu Chenan's sudden action left Tang Yunjin somewhat stunned.
She had planned to make Gu Chenan take her as master after losing the bet. Now the situation had developed precisely as she wished.
But she still felt conflicted.
After all, Gu Chenan's intentions were too obvious. What if he learned the Tang family's medical skills but didn't acknowledge her as his master? Who could she complain to?
Tang Yunjin crossed her arms and looked down at the kneeling Gu Chenan.
"Do you...really want to take me as your master, and not for anything else?" Tang Yunjin asked.
Gu Chenan knew what Tang Yunjin was worried about. He thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, I came solely for the Tang family's medical skills. But I can guarantee that I definitely won't discard you after I'm done with you."
Huh?
Tang Yunjin frowned.
Discard me after you're done with me?
Although I know what you mean, isn't that too crude?
However, despite being crude, Gu Chenan's words did resolve Tang Yunjin's concerns.
Tang Yunjin furrowed her brows: "I can take you as my disciple, but let's make this clear first..."
"If you become my disciple, you must obey your master's words. Whatever I say goes, and you can't talk back!"
"Also, you must do whatever I ask you to do!"
"Only if you agree to this, will I take you as my disciple."
Tang Yunjin had an uncompromising expression.
"Uh..."
Gu Chenan hesitated for a few seconds, then asked, "Then if your disciple needs help with something, will you as the master help?"
"Nonsense!" Tang Yunjin said arrogantly: "Of course I'll help."
But she immediately added: "As long as it's not anything strange!"
Gu Chenan was taken aback: "I know, I know."
【Damn, do you think I'd ask you to help me with certain physiological problems?】
【Don't dream. I wouldn't even get hard for you.】
Tang Yunjin gritted her teeth.
Saying I don't arouse him, what's that supposed to mean?
Can't your mind wander somewhere else?
You want to take me as your master, not marry me. What's it to you if I arouse you or not?
"Get up. From now on, you are my disciple." Tang Yunjin said.
Gu Chenan was stunned. He blinked and asked: "That simple? No need for incense offering, apprenticeship gifts or serving tea ceremonially?"
Tang Yunjin said: "No need for all that. You just need to know that you are now my Tang family disciple."
"Alright, got it."
Gu Chenan nodded, then grabbed Tang Yunjin's wrist and headed towards the room: "Time is urgent. Let's get right to it, little Tang girl."
Being pulled along by Gu Chenan, Tang Yunjin's face paled in fright.
"What are you doing? Respect your master, got it? I'm your master. We can't do that kind of thing!"
Gu Chenan turned back with a puzzled look: "What are you thinking? I'm talking about teaching me the Tang family's medical skills right now."
Huh?
Tang Yunjin was taken aback, somewhat embarrassedly fixing her hair beside her temples: "Even if you want me to teach you medical skills, you can't be so forceful!"
"Before anything else, address me as Master first." Tang Yunjin insisted.
Gu Chenan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "But didn't you say it yourself? As long as I bear in mind that I'm your disciple, those superficial manners don't matter."
"So, let's drop those formalities. You call me disciple, and I'll call you little Tang girl. Doesn't that sound nice?"
Although Gu Chenan had taken Tang Yunjin as his master, he had to maintain his scumbag image.
He could disregard the plot for now, but his character settings had to remain perfect.
So even after becoming Tang Yunjin's disciple, Gu Chenan wouldn't suddenly become an obedient disciple who agreed with everything his master said.
"You..."
Tang Yunjin was left speechless by Gu Chenan's shamelessness.
But on second thought, it was probably unrealistic to expect a world-renowned "villain" to properly address her as Master.
As long as Gu Chenan recognized her as his master in his heart, those superficial manners weren't a big issue.
Besides, Tang Yunjin felt that Gu Chenan was actually a good person at heart who pretended to be evil.
So she didn't dwell too much on these matters.
