Chapter 1338: Chapter 1342: The Frustration of the Newcomer

However, Shen Du probably had no other choice, as there were so many direct disciples under his master’s mentorship, and with each generation came extremely outstanding ones. If Shen Du had not made this decision, he would most likely have been neglected by his master, and even as a direct disciple, he wouldn’t have much of a future.

“Brother Shen Du has it tough, come on, let’s drink to all the frustrations under the heavens,” Zhu Minglang said.

There is no trouble that cannot be soothed with a bowl of good wine. Shen Du had resigned himself to his fate; his talk with Zhu Minglang was nothing more than venting and seeking solace.

“Actually, as you said, Li Ya treats me quite well. Initially, I thought she had chosen me because she had no better options, but later I found out she had taken an interest in me long ago, always keeping an eye on me. Once I became a direct disciple, her family subtly inquired about her intentions, and she agreed immediately after,” said Shen Du after drinking, his mood visibly improved.

“That’s great, that’s really good.”

“Having such a hearty conversation with junior brother is truly enjoyable. I regret not meeting you sooner… Uh, junior brother, if you consider Shen Du a brother, could you do me a favor?” Seeing that this junior disciple was a decent person, Shen Du lowered his voice.

“Brother Shen Du, just say the word. I consider myself a kind-hearted cultivator and I’ve always been happy to help others,” Zhu Minglang responded.

“I’m aware of what I desire and am willing to become a son-in-law to the Immortal Clan, but this happened too abruptly. In Eternal God State, there is a woman who showed me immense kindness when I was still a mortal. Although nothing substantial happened between us, I suspect she has been waiting for a definitive answer from me… It’s my fault for letting her down, so could I ask junior brother to send her an offering of my regrets? Tell her there’s no need to think of me anymore. I shall find another way to repay her kindness,” Shen Du finally confessed.
