Chapter 4076: Solemnly

dually darkened.After a whole day had passed, Jiang Yun finally gently closed the book and placed it back on the shelf. He turned around, said nothing, and strode out of the library, heading towards C...Before this, Mu Ming had mentioned to Jiang Yun that he wanted to apprentice under him. Jiang Yun wasn't unwilling to teach him, but he couldn't teach him, so he didn't give him a reply.

But now, after seeing Mu Ming's experience, especially after hearing what Mu Ming said to himself in his dream, Jiang Yun's thoughts changed.

As long as he could reshape Mu Ming's body, making him normal, then he could truly cultivate and worship himself as his master.

So, as Mu Ming's master, knowing that Mu Ming was deceived and got into big trouble, even causing Mu Zheng to be punished, it is natural and reasonable for the master to stand up for his disciple.

In fact, Ginger Cloud knew that her current situation and identity were completely unsuitable for taking on a disciple.

But.

He couldn't forget the image of Mu Ming, alone at the bottom of a thousand-meter deep chasm, tirelessly pouring his own wood power into himself for over three months. He talked to himself incessantly, until finally, he managed to pull himself back from the brink.

Though he might be fated to mediocrity, he still holds his own beliefs and convictions.

Apart from saving Ginger Cloud's life, Mu Ming and Ginger Cloud also share similar experiences.

Therefore, Ginger Cloud was willing to take him as a disciple and willing to protect him just the same. Upon hearing Ginger Cloud's words, Mu Zhengjun was instantly stunned, his face revealing a complex expression.

Over these past few days of getting to know each other, he may not yet know Ginger Cloud's true identity, but he has already gotten a clear understanding of her character.

Especially Jiang Yun's strength, not only far surpassing his own, but also possessing the power of the five elements at the same time, completely overturned his cognition.

In Mu Zhengjun's view, Jiang Yun's background must be extraordinary, and he truly believes that Jiang Yun has a high possibility of becoming an emperor in the future.

But he, as a wooden puppet, is no longer the genius of yesteryear.

Even if Jiang Yun really helped him reshape his body and turned him into a normal person, it doesn't mean that Mu Ming could return to the genius he once was.

At most, one would simply become an ordinary, unremarkable cultivator.

Therefore, since Ginger Cloud was willing to accept such a hapless person as a disciple and even willing to stand up for him, it truly showed that he cared about him deeply! Taking a deep breath, Mu Zhengjun bowed to Ginger Cloud and said, "Eastern friend, your kindness, both I and Ming'er are deeply grateful."

But this matter has nothing to do with you. I can't let Ming'er get involved because of you, so let's just drop it!

Since Mu Zhengjun was grateful to Jiang Yun, he didn't want Jiang Yun to really go to the Mu family to find his younger brother and seek revenge from Mu Linyuan.

After all, even though Ginger Cloud is strong, he's only one person. How can he possibly stand against the entire Mu family

If Jiang Yun fell to the Mu family, then his own guilt would be too great.

Ginger reached out and lifted up Mu Zhengjun's body, saying: "What, could it be that Old Master Mu thinks I am not qualified to be Mu Ming's master"

"Of course not!" Mu Zhengjun shook his head repeatedly.

That's fine!

Jiang Yun smiled faintly and said, "Father-in-law, in terms of age and experience, I can't compare to you."

But, I have experienced some things, so I know that to earn the respect of others, it's not about blindly tolerating and hiding.

"Wood's life, from beginning to end, he didn't do anything wrong, he shouldn't have to endure such treatment!"

"Old Man Mu, your physical injuries recover easily, but the wounds on your soul are not so easy to heal."

In short, I'll handle the matter of Mok Min. Just pretend you know nothing about it, Father-in-law!

After uttering those words, Jiang Yun remained silent, lowering his head to look at Mu Ming who was fast asleep. He reached out once more and gently placed his hand on Mu Ming's brow.

A faint orb of light flew out from Mu Ming's brow and landed in Jiang Yun's hand.

Holding the luminous orb, Jiang Yun stepped out.

Mu Zhengjun stood rooted to the spot, ginger Yun's words still echoing in his mind. His face flushed involuntarily.

He couldn't possibly not understand that Ginger Cloud was telling him, it wasn't Mu Ming who was wrong, but himself! Ever since Mu Ming became a mediocre talent, both he and Mu Ming's parents believed that Mu Ming had wasted the family's cultivation resources. They felt guilty towards the family, so whenever Mu Ming was bullied, he always pretended not to know or simply endured it.

Even, to avoid something like this from happening again, he even took his own life and left his master's house, moving to this remote medicinal garden.

It is precisely because of his repeated concessions that those who bully Mu Ming become more and more rampant and unrestrained.

Actually, if I had been more assertive back then, with my position in the Mu family, protecting Mu Ming wouldn't have been too difficult. Naturally, no one would have dared to bully him.

After a long time, Mu Zhengjun murmured: "Yes, I was the one who made the mistake, but I let Ming'er bear the consequences of my actions!"

As soon as the words left his lips, Mu Zhengjun's gaze fell upon Mu Ming. A kind smile graced his face as he said, "Ming’er, grandpa hasn't been very competent, but fortunately, you've met a good master!"

Jiang Yun sat in the courtyard, closed his eyes, and inside his body, the power of the five elements quietly circulated.

Although he decided to take Mu Ming as his disciple and avenge him, he wasn't ready to do so right now.

He would wait until Mu Ming woke up, and after treating Mu Ming, he would take him away with him! Only by letting Mu Ming see it with his own eyes could he erase the wounds in his soul, and make him no longer afraid of those who had bullied him before.

His life force was so depleted that he slept for a full seven days before slowly waking up.

When he opened his eyes and saw the empty room, a look of bewilderment still lingered on his face.

After sitting there for a moment in stunned silence, he finally came to his senses. He touched the scabbed wound on his back and a look of fear crept onto his face as he tried to piece together what had happened before he blacked out.

Just then, he heard Mok Jeong-jun's voice beside him: "Since you're awake, come out!"

"Oh, here you are!"

Although he agreed with his words, Mu Ming still dawdled for half a day before walking out of the house.

Because he was a little afraid to face his grandfather.

Mù mìng walked out of the house and saw his grandfather and Jiāng Yún sitting there. He whispered, "Grandfather, Elder Brother Dōng."

Ginger Yun gave him a slight smile, without speaking. Mu Zhengjun, however, frowned and said to him, "Mu Ming, come here!"

Hearing his grandfather call his name directly, Mu Ming was instantly terrified and shuddered. He walked nervously to his grandfather's side, not even daring to breathe.

Mu Zhengjun remained expressionless, coldly saying: "Mu Ming, grandpa asks you, are you willing to become Dong Fang's disciple"

"What"

Mu Ming abruptly froze, raising his head and looking at his grandfather with a bewildered expression. For a moment, he couldn't react at all.

Mu Zhengjun raised his voice and spoke again, "Muling, I ask you, are you willing to become a disciple of Dongfang!"

"Wood's life finally came back to him, his eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly without hesitation: "I'm willing, I'm willing!"

Mu Zhengjun solemnly said, "Mú Mìng, one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father."

Once you become a disciple, from then on your master is like your father. You must never betray your master for all eternity.

If you dare to betray your teacher and destroy your ancestors, you will be struck by lightning and have a miserable end!

So, think it over carefully and then answer me, are you willing to become Eastern's disciple!

It has to be said, Mu Zhengjun's three consecutive inquiries made the young Mu Ming feel a sense of solemnity. Even Jiang Yun, standing beside him, felt a sense of responsibility and thought of his master and disciples.

Actually, according to Jiang Yun's idea, he would just ask Mu Ming if he was willing to become his disciple. If Mu Ming agreed, they would simply perform a discipleship ceremony.

Ke Muzheng was not in agreement. He believed that a master is like a father, so the entire apprenticeship process must be taken seriously.

Even, he wanted to find someone to be a witness and forcefully stopped Gingeryun.

After much deliberation, Mu Ming nodded vigorously once more and said, "I agree!"

And, Mu Ming also believes that fortune comes from the heart and spirit. With a sudden turn, he knelt before Jiang Yun and said: "Disciple Mu Ming, I wish to be your apprentice!"

After finishing his words, Mu Ming bowed three times in succession.

Jiang Yun sat upright, receiving Mu Ming's apprenticeship ceremony.

After the wooden puppet had finished its rites, Jiang Yun nodded and said: "From now on, you Mu Ming will be my...third disciple!"

"Since I'm taking you as my disciple, as a master, I naturally have to give you a gift. I'll give it a try and present you with a new body!"yly and said, "My lord, I've already searched their souls!"Each of them was working hard to keep the formation running, but suddenly, they all fell into a coma and had no idea what happened.The Empero...
