The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 504 I've made up my mind, I also want to try having a master-disciple relationship (Second Update)
At this point, Guicang's tone became more solemn: "He said that seeing my deep affinity with Buddhism, he was willing to choose me as his apostle, but I need to pass an examination."

"If I can completely turn the gray Buddha on this Bodhi seed into gold within a certain period of time, I can become his true apostle and gain the qualification to enter the Star Battlefield."

"This is also the main reason why the Bitter Calamity has not completely possessed me yet." Guicang changed the subject, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"He was always afraid that the inspector would notice something was amiss, so he dared not go too far."

"His original plan was to wait until I entered the Starry Sky Battlefield and was far away from the surveillance range of Nanhuang Prefecture before completely devouring my consciousness—at that time, no one would be able to control him."

After hearing Guicang's words, the second uncle was stunned and subconsciously turned to look at Zhou Qing, who was also stunned.

Then he shook his head with a wry smile: "You two really are father and son, even something as simple as being noticed by the Inspector General can be achieved together."

Guicang was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening.

Over the past few years, Daddy's reputation has become legendary in Nanhuang Prefecture, so it seems reasonable that he would be noticed by a certain inspector.

He looked at Zhou Qing, a hint of understanding in his eyes.

Zhou Qing smiled bitterly and reached into his robes to take out a crescent-shaped jade pendant.

"Unfortunately, we're not on the same side. I need... um?"

Before Zhou Qing could finish speaking, his gaze suddenly fixed on the jade pendant in his palm, and he froze.

The fifth hole, which was originally dark and dull, was now radiating a cool, clear moonlight.

He was suddenly jolted, then overjoyed.

I was worried that when the Ku'e clone was destroyed, Guicang's consciousness helped him by killing a "pseudo-supreme" and that it wouldn't count. I didn't expect it to be recorded!

Could it be because that old guy was a supreme being in his early years, and even though his cultivation level has declined, his origin is still considered supreme?

"Congratulations, Father!" Guicang was the first to react when he saw the jade pendant, which was also used as a token. His face instantly lit up with a smile, and his tone was full of joy.

"It seems we'll be training together on the star battlefield in the future!"

Zhou Qing snapped out of his daze and couldn't help but smile at Gui Cang's overjoyed expression.

He reached out and patted his shoulder: "Good! Although we belong to the Cultivation Alliance and the Imperial Dynasty Alliance respectively, as long as we don't make it public, maybe our father and son can work together quietly and achieve unexpected results."

Guicang nodded repeatedly, his eyes shining with anticipation: "I am confident that I will pass the test!"

"That Fighting Saint Ape Inspector also said that he came from a level six cultivation country that exclusively practices Buddhism. If I could go there to cultivate, both my Buddhist teachings and cultivation level would be greatly improved."

Zhou Qing was genuinely happy for him, but then suddenly remembered something and teased, "He comes from the Fighting Holy Ape clan, is a golden monkey, and practices Buddhism... Could he possibly be surnamed Sun?"

Guicang shook his head blankly: "I don't know. He never mentioned his name, and it seems that no one knows his background."

"Alright." Zhou Qing sighed softly, his tone tinged with regret.

If it really is Sun Wukong, then we'll have a lot to talk about.

I have admired the Monkey King since I was a child, and I feel close to anything that is even remotely related to him.

Aside from that demon king Hou Shan, who wanted to launch a beast tide to attack the entire Eastern Region just because Li Niang stole his Fusang Spirit Sunflower.

Instead, he was refined by Sikong Yan's grand formation and even helped others ripen the Nine Nether Demon Lotus, truly disgracing the "monkey" (a derogatory term for a monkey).

"I've made up my mind!" Just then, Second Uncle suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up, interrupting their conversation. Zhou Qing and Gui Cang both turned to look at Second Uncle, who had a serious expression on his face.

Second Uncle put down the wine pot, his tone filled with eagerness: "After we wipe out the Yan family and that guy Bai Fengyin, your grandpa will go out and try my luck, and get an apostle identity for fun!"

"Wouldn't it be wonderful if three generations of us stepped into the star battlefield together then?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing's eyes lit up immediately.

If anyone else had said this, he would have thought it was wishful thinking, but he absolutely believed in his second uncle's strength and luck.

The second uncle is a rare case of three flowers gathering at the top of the head; the red and gold petals govern fortune and can turn misfortune into good fortune.

The emerald green petals exude a friendly aura, easily putting people at ease.

Furthermore, the ever-changing power of the indigo petals greatly increases the likelihood of being noticed by the Inspector.

"It's all set in stone then, we'll be 'strangers' on the battlefield, we might even have to pretend to be rivals!"

The second uncle added with a smile, as if afraid the two would forget the difference in their allegiances.

Zhou Qing laughed heartily: "Don't worry! The Cultivation Alliance and the Imperial Dynasty Alliance only have six spots in total. If the three of us, grandfather, grandson, and granddaughter, take up three, we'll be punished by heaven. We have to make it look convincing!"

"Hahaha!" The second uncle burst into laughter, instantly dispelling the heavy atmosphere in the inner hall.

Guicang smiled and shook his head, then put away his smile and looked at the Second Uncle with a serious tone: "Uncle, if you really want to win the status of an apostle, you'd better hurry up."

He paused, recalling the inspector's words: "That Fighting Saint Ape inspector said that their term of office in each level-five cultivation country is only a thousand years, and each person has only one apostle position."

"Now that the millennium term is almost over, many inspectors have begun to focus on screening candidates. If you are too late, you may miss your chance."

The second uncle's smile faded slightly, and he stroked his chin thoughtfully with his fingertips.

Zhou Qing immediately looked at his second uncle, his tone tinged with urgency.

"How about... we put aside the Yan family and Bai Fengyin's matter for now, and you go and try to get an apostle spot?"

The second uncle raised his hand to interrupt him, his tone calm: "Don't worry. Didn't you just get your jade pendant recently? The closer to the end of their term, the more cautious these inspectors become."

"After all, the apostles going to the Star Battlefield is not only a training exercise, but also a long-term investment for them. They will never agree easily if they don't understand the situation."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the two of them, and slowly said, "Besides, 'what is destined to be yours will be yours, and what is not, you cannot force.'"

"If I am truly destined, I will naturally meet a discerning inspector; if not, there is no use in being anxious, and it will only make me lose my composure."

At this point, the second uncle gently patted Zhou Qing's shoulder, his tone becoming more solemn: "Besides, that night when I was being chased by Su Minghe, I promised you that I would definitely help you kill Bai Fengyin and avenge your Daoist partner."

"How could I possibly abandon you and leave you to face the troubles of the Yan family and the Heavenly Phoenix Palace alone?"

Upon hearing these words, Zhou Qing felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and her eyes welled up with tears.

After a brief pause, he nodded emphatically: "Okay!"

He then turned to Guicang and asked, "When are you leaving?"

"The sooner the better." A resolute glint flashed in Guicang's eyes. "I must return to Jiyuan Temple as soon as possible to gain a foothold and seize the initiative, lest the remnants of the Ku'e forces take the lead and leave me in a passive position."
