My Online Girlfriend Is The Nine Heaven Divine Phoenix Novel - Chapter 310
Chapter 310: If My Friend Dies, So Be It (1)
In the Seven Phoenixes sect, Lu Ping had returned with Zhang Biao.
After settling Zhang Biao down, Sun Wukong looked at Lu Ping and said with a smile, “Kid, why did you drag me back to your sect?”
Lu Ping looked at Sun Wukong and said with a smile, “Uncle Sun, Mr. Kong has already accepted a disciple. What about you? When do you plan to accept a disciple?”
How shrewd was Sun Wukong? How could he not see through his intentions?
“Are you asking me to take in this kid as a disciple?” Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes.
Lu Ping said with a smile, “I don’t think it’s impossible. What do you think?”
Lu Ping had his considerations. It would be a waste not to hold onto Sun Wukong, especially Zhang Biao.
Although his family situation was slightly better than his, if he really wanted to take in Sun Wukong as his master, he would definitely be able to climb up the social ladder.
Furthermore, through their interactions during this period of time, Lu Ping could tell that Sun Wukong was actually easier to talk to compared to Kong Xuan.
To be able to take such an almighty as his master was definitely not a loss.
…
Lu Ping naturally knew that Sun Wukong’s purpose in taking in disciples was to resist the calamity. However, no one knew what was going on with this calamity and when it would come.
Sun Wukong muttered, “But his talent is too ordinary! Furthermore, I do not wish to take a human as my disciple. I want to find a spiritual ape to teach me.”
Lu Ping smiled and said, “Uncle Sun’s words are wrong. Think about it. Why did you take a disciple? Isn’t it to resist the calamities? Then who is this person? What does it matter? If his talent is a little lacking, then it’s just a little lacking. Speaking of which, even if you take a four great spiritual monkeys as your disciples and nurture them with great care, will you be able to accept death in the future? But this brother of mine, if he dies, you won’t be so heartbroken, right?”
Sun Wukong looked at Lu Ping with a strange gaze.
“You brat, you are really ruthless. Aren’t you afraid that he will die?”
Lu Ping shook his head and said, “It’s not like he will die on the second day after taking you as his master. Whether he will die or not will depend on his good fortune. But I know that for him to be able to become your disciple is a great opportunity.”
Seeing Sun Wukong’s hesitation, Lu Ping smiled and said, “And this won’t stop you from taking in other disciples, right? But I think it’s better to plan ahead. What if the apocalypse happens three to five years later? No one can say for sure. If you already have a disciple, it’s better to be prepared. As for you wanting to find a spirit ape as your disciple, you can totally take in Zhang Biao and then look for him.”
Sun Wukong could hear the hidden meaning in Lu Ping’s words. “You mean you don’t want to take him in as your disciple?”
Lu Ping shook his head. “We are friends. How can I take him in as my disciple? That’s what I think. Isn’t our great hall, the Scripture Pavilion, able to isolate the Heavenly Dao? Then why don’t we take him in as our disciple? That way, won’t we be able to hide it from others?”
Sun Wukong’s eyes lit up. He had never expected this.
However, after some thought, Sun Wukong shook his head and said, “I still can’t do this. Although your suggestion is good, I’m not too interested in this kid.”
Lu Ping was slightly disappointed, but there was nothing he could do. That was how it was sometimes. Even if he wanted to risk his life, the other party might not be willing to use it.
But at that moment, he heard Sun Wukong say, “But I think we can let that idiot of mine take him in as a disciple.”
Zhu Bajie?
Lu Ping looked down on him.
It was not his fault for having high standards. It was mainly Sun Wukong and Kong Xuan were so strong in comparison to Zhu Bajie.
Sun Wukong could see what he was thinking. He smiled and said, “Don’t look down on that idiot in front of us. When it comes to cultivation, he is not weak compared to your father-in-law. In a fight, that idiot might be better.”
Lu Ping fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he said, “I think it’s fine!”
Having a backer was better than having no backer.
“Then go and talk to your friend. If he agrees, I will ask that idiot if he is willing to take him as a disciple!”
“Okay!”
Lu Ping did not dawdle and quickly found Zhang Biao.
However, it would be troublesome if he said this. After all, Zhang Biao did not know anything about the Journey to the West and the ascension to godhood.
Lu Ping brought him to the Sun Flame Grand Hall and began to slowly explain.
After roughly explaining everything, Zhang Biao was completely stunned.
This was completely beyond his expectations.
After he finished speaking, Lu Ping said in a deep voice, “I’m not afraid to tell you that my current cultivation partner is the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix. Our sect has three honorary elders, Kong Xuan, Sun Wukong, and Zhu Wuneng also known as Zhu Bajie! However, I’ve asked Sun Wukong, and he’s not willing to accept you as a disciple. He said that he can help you ask Zhu Bajie, but before that, you have to make a decision whether or not you want to acknowledge him as your master
“Let me tell you the ugly thing first. Acknowledging him as your master is definitely beneficial in the short term. However, if you look at the long term, whether you live or die is unknown. You might be used by them to block the calamity. Whether or not you want to acknowledge him is up to you!”
Zhang Biao suddenly laughed maniacally. “Hahaha! Is there any reason not to take him as your master for such a good thing? I don’t care if I live or die after this. It might be something that will happen in a thousand or ten thousand years. With such a powerful person as my backer, won’t I be able to do whatever I want on Fengming Planet? I would be a fool not to agree to such a good thing! Moreover, I heard what you said. Aren’t those Chanism disciples also becoming saints of the Heavenly Court? Is that a bad thing?”
