438: Accidentally Becoming The Great-Grandmaster

Accidentally Becoming The Great-Grandmaster

If he hadn't lost his mind, why did he call Feng Tianlan—who was many decades younger and leagues behind in her abilities—his master?1

He must be crazy. He was definitely crazy!

The old man stood in front of Feng Tianlan and kneeled without hesitation. He kowtowed three times. "I, Pang Tai, honor you as my master."

"…" The atmosphere was filled with shocked silence.

Feng Tianlan glanced down at Pang Tai, whose forehead touched the ground as he kowtowed fervently. She weighed her options for a moment and responded faintly, "Get up."

She wasn't keen to take in a disciple but based on the current situation, it would be best for her to accept him as her disciple.

"Thank you, Master!" Pang Tai got up from the ground. His old face, which was wrinkled with age, burst into a bright smile that rivaled a blooming chrysanthemum.

He successfully conferred to his master the honor she deserved, and she acknowledged him as her disciple! The price was high, but as long as she was willing to be his master, no obstacle presented a problem.

"…" The silence turned into uncertainty. It lasted for a long time.

Tu Xiupei's eyes widened at this exchange. She was weak and looked like death, but she shouted will all the energy she had left, "How is this possible? You just joined the Flying Frost Pavilion less than a month ago. How can you become Grandmaster's master? Our grandmaster already had a master!"

Her plan had been for Feng Tianlan to suffer the most degrading experience as an external disciple of the Flying Frost Pavilion. But for some reason, in the blink of an eye, she had been conferred the highest status as the great-grandmaster.

"No! I refuse to acknowledge you as the great-grandmaster. I will not!" Tu Xiupei protested, just thinking about it reviled her.

"I refuse to acknowledge you as my great-grand disciple as well—which means you can no longer be a disciple of the Flying Frost Pavilion." Feng Tianlan mused.

Tu Xiupei's face turned red with anger but she had no way out. If things remained this way, Feng Tianlan would be the master acknowledged by the Grandmaster of the Flying Frost Pavilion. She really could chase her out of the Flying Frost Pavilion.

If she wanted to meet Big Brother Jin again, she had to tolerate this!

"Master, when did you become her disciple? Are you planning to betray the Flying Frost Pavilion?" Qi Hongan found this situation utterly absurd. The enemy he had always wanted to kill became his grandmaster in a blink of an eye!

This was worse than death.

Pang Tai stared at him quizzically. "My master is now a disciple of the Flying Frost Pavilion, isn't she? How am I betraying the academy by calling her my master?"

"…" Qi Hongan had nothing to say. He could only give him a begrudging look.

Pang Tai stood beside Feng Tianlan and he used his spiritual force to declare, "Feng Tianlan is my master. I, Pang Tai, am her disciple. From now on, she will be your grandmaster or great-grandmaster. If any of you dares to offend her in any way, I cannot guarantee your life."

The murmuring crowd turned silent once again. Many had unwilling looks on their faces, but that was the most defiance they could show.

"If anyone still doubts her lineage, I will send them to the South Winds Nation to investigate who really took what belonged to the other. Those who remain blind and deaf after the investigation will continue staying on in the South Winds Nation."

His words had two meanings. If anyone were to doubt Feng Tianlan again, they would be sent to the South Winds Nation to seek out the truth for themselves. But if they continued doubting her, they would be expelled from the Flying Frost Pavilion.

The crowd had no choice but to swallow their doubts. No one dared to protest, because they all witnessed the grandmaster's overwhelming spiritual force for themselves.

"Master, has your anger subsided yet?" After giving this warning, Pang Tai, authoritative in front of the Flying Frost Pavilion, suddenly turned into a meek and obedient disciple before Feng Tianlan.

Feng Tianlan glanced at him and nodded gently. She would like to know why he wanted her to be his master so persistently when they had only met once.
