The Crowd Panics 2

Pang Juan earnestly explained, "She's still young now. If she starts cultivating right away, she might become the youngest, most prodigious grand master in the continent in the future." 0

Qi Qingyao continued seriously, "I'm sorry, we really don't need it. Thank you." 

"Why won't you agree?" Pang Juan did not understand what he was lacking as he was a grand master. 

"Why should I agree?" 

Qi Qingyao was really nervous. Keeping her mind clear, she said, "I want my children to have a happy childhood within the scope of my financial ability. Besides, even if she were to become a disciple, why should I have to look to you? Just because you're a grand master? We already have a young grand master in our family. Is he no better than you? Why should my daughter learn from you?"

Who did this old man think he was, making it sound like he was the most obvious choice.

Pang Juan, "..."

He was speechless. 

With fire between her brows, Qi Qingyao went on, "You barged into my room in the middle of the night without a word and took my daughter away. It is already good enough that I am not suspecting you of being a pedophile. How can you still dare talk about taking disciples?" 

Pang Juan held back his anger and bit his teeth. He laughed and said, "This little girl has a real gift of the gab." 

Qi Qingyao said nothing. 

She watched him neither haughtily nor humbly.

Pang Juan said, "I finally know who the little girl's eloquence resembles." 

"The praise is undeserved," said Qi Qingyao. 

Pang Juan did not bother with more kind words and bluntly said, "If you don't agree to my proposition, I can still catch her a second time. Do you understand?" 

Qi Qingyao said tentatively, "Do you not need your image as a grand master? Aren't you afraid that I'll spread word of your wickedness everywhere? Are you not ashamed of kidnapping a child?"

"It's once in a lifetime that you can meet such a disciple. Who cares about honor!" Pang Juan had never been opposed or threatened by anyone, save for the empress. So, when he got angry, his attitude also changed and he became very cruel.

"Furthermore, little lady, your young grand master is not here and there is no one protecting you. I have ten thousand ways to force her to agree to be my disciple."

Qi Qingyao asked, "For example?" 

Pang Juan said reservedly, "for example, I'll first capture you or your two other children and tie them up. If she doesn't learn to cultivate properly, then I'll give you a whip every day. To motivate her. That way, she'll train properly." 

Qi Qingyao heard this and frowned. 

After thinking a lot, she then turned to Gu Cheng. 

"Did you not say grand masters were the most honorable people?" 

"..." Cold sweat kept flowing as Gu Cheng smiled dryly, not able to say anything at all. 

Qi Qingyao asked Gu Shanshan who was happily eating away, "Didn't you call him Uncle Pang before this? You seem to be close."

Gu Shanshan put down the chicken bone awkwardly. "He is an elder. When we juniors met him, we had no choice but to call him Uncle Pang. Besides, that was when I met him in Daliang City when I was five or six years old… What virtues or capabilities do I have to be close to a grand master? Don't tease me." 

Qi Qingyao did not know how to react to that "relationship erasing" attitude. 

Gongsun speculated for a moment before interrupting Pang Juan. "Old man Pang, I promised the little lady to save her daughter. Are you sincerely trying to embarrass me by doing this?"

Pang Juan said in a somewhat overbearing manner, "I don't care. This disciple is mine." 

"Are you asking to go for a round?" Gongsun She's temper was also rising. 

Pang Juan boomed, "Let's fight then, who's afraid of you?"
