Max Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey…?
Chapter 683

Chapter 683: 683

Jiangli, however, smiled faintly and still refused, "I am not suitable for this; I believe there’s no room for negotiation anymore."

Her refusal was merciless, without leaving a single opening for discussion.

Pei Jiu could see her determination and felt somewhat deflated all of a sudden.

Pei Jiu couldn’t help but exchange glances with Uncle Du at his side.

There was also a moment of awkwardness in Uncle Du’s expression.

Noticing their subtle gestures, Jiangli raised an eyebrow and said, "What’s the matter, is Chairman Du here to persuade me to join the Unusual Affairs Management Office as well? Oh no, perhaps Chairman Du is trying to convince me to join the Xuanmen Association?"

Uncle Du immediately waved his hand: "That’s not it. The Abbot misunderstands. However, I indeed have a favor to ask of the Abbot on this visit."

Jiangli hadn’t spoken yet.

Uncle Du then pulled the young man beside him and said seriously, "I haven’t introduced him to the Abbot yet. This is my grandson, Du Tianyu."

He then said to the young man, "Tianyu, greet the Abbot."

Upon hearing this, Du Tianyu looked at Jiangli, with an emotionless face he bowed slightly, "I have seen the Abbot."

Jiangli nodded and smiled in acknowledgment of the greeting and then turned directly to Uncle Du to ask, "What is it, Uncle Du?"

Before Uncle Du could speak, he choked up with unshed tears, "I brought Tianyu here because there is a favor I wish to ask of the Abbot. As you know, I’m not blessed with a long life, and only have this one grandson left. Unfortunately, due to my own influence, he almost lost his life. I truly have no other choice. Now, as I am nearing my end, I only wish to find a good place for Tianyu before I die. My thought was to ask the Abbot to take him as your disciple and to raise him on my behalf?"

Uncle Du looked at Jiangli with an earnest and hopeful expression.

After he received the examination results, he went home, closed the door, and thought back and forth for two days before figuring out this plan.

He was never at ease entrusting Du Tianyu to anyone else.

Only by entrusting him to Jiangli did he feel somewhat at ease in his heart.

Even if he died, he could rest in peace.

Upon hearing this, Xia Xin almost jumped up.

He wasn’t even the Abbot’s official disciple yet, so where did this person come from, expecting to cut in line?

Didn’t he know there’s an order to these things?

Just as Xia Xin was about to teach him a lesson, Jiangli shot him a glance.

Xia Xin immediately shrank back like a cat whose throat was pinched.

Jiangli then looked towards Uncle Du and smiled faintly, "I do not take disciples, so I’m afraid I must disappoint Chairman Du’s kind intentions."

Uncle Du was taken aback, "The Abbot doesn’t take disciples?"

Jiangli affirmed, "In my lifetime, I only have one direct disciple, and I will not take any others. My abilities are limited, and I cannot teach two disciples."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Du subconsciously glanced at Xia Xin, suddenly feeling at a loss for words.

He knew that Xia Xin was Jiangli’s disciple.

But no matter how he looked at it, Xia Xin didn’t seem to have as much potential as their family’s Tianyu.

Why would Jiangli refuse to take any other disciples just for the sake of Xia Xin?

Uncle Du didn’t understand but could only persuade, "The Abbot’s abilities are well recognized by everyone. You don’t need to be modest. There has never been a grandmaster in our ancestry who only took one disciple. Our Tianyu isn’t trying to replace anyone. It’s just that I can’t rest easy. I want to find a secure place for him."

Jiangli realized there was a misunderstanding but didn’t clarify. She only insisted, "I truly do not plan to take any more disciples. If Chairman Du is worried, it would be wise to seek someone else. There’s no need to waste time here."

Du Tianyu frowned slightly.

Uncle Du wanted to say more, but Du Tianyu grasped his hand and said softly, "Grandfather, I also do not wish to acknowledge someone else as master. I’m doing well in the Du Family. I have to uphold the family honor; how could I possibly take another as my teacher?"

Looking at Du Tianyu, Uncle Du’s eyes reddened slightly.
