AWB Chapter 442
Chapter 442
Qian Kai was surprised by the sudden turn of events. After checking, he discovered that the curse he had cast on Master Xu had actually been broken.
"How is this possible? How could such a piece of trash like him break my curse? No, something's not right. There must be something I've overlooked..."
Qian Kai paced back and forth, pondering to himself. Based on his understanding of Master Xu, he knew that Master Xu would never do anything to break his curse.
After all, he knew all too well what kind of strength his junior brother possessed.
"It couldn't possibly be something my useless junior brother would do; it must be someone else!"
Qian Kai suddenly curled his lips into a smile, and the blood that had been left at the corner of his mouth was wiped away with this action.
"This is really interesting. I haven't met such an interesting person in a long time."
Thanks to Ling Yanyan's tireless efforts, Zhang Dadan finally woke up. He lay on the ground and saw Ling Yanyan guarding his side, mistaking him for a zombie.
However, he didn't notice and was scratched by the zombie, but then he suddenly realized that there were no zombie corpses around.
"What's wrong with me? Why does my whole body ache and my back hurt? Did something just happen?"
Zhang Dadan scratched his head in a daze, his eyes filled with clear stupidity, clearly not understanding what had just happened.
Zhang Dadan glanced at him but didn't say anything. Instead, Xu Zhenren, who was not far away, immediately ran over and came to his side to check on his health.
"How are you? You suddenly seemed possessed, rolling around on the ground. We immediately diagnosed you and found out you were under a curse, a very powerful spell. Luckily, Ling Yanyan was there and saved you."
After listening to Master Xu's account, Zhang Dadan's gratitude towards Ling Yanyan grew stronger, and he also felt that Ling Yanyan must be an extremely capable person.
"Thank you so much for saving me, Master. You are truly a benefactor in my life!"
No amount of words of thanks from Zhang Dadan could compare to what he actually did. Although Ling Yanyan didn't need them, Zhang Dadan still knelt down, wanting to kowtow to Ling Yanyan to express his gratitude.
Ling Yanyan was shocked and quickly helped him up.
"What are you doing? Your knees are worth gold. I don't need you to do this. You're overthinking things. I already promised you that I would protect your safety, even though it wasn't because the teachers came that your lives were threatened."
Ling Yanyan paused here, then continued to share her thoughts.
“However, since you encountered an accident while you were by my side, of course I wouldn’t just stand by and watch you die. After all, I’m not such a cold-hearted person.” Zhang Dadan was completely convinced by Ling Yanyan’s words.
"Alright, you're recovering now. You're still a bit weak, but you can do normal activities. However, I don't recommend that you go anywhere else right now, because it's still quite dangerous."
Zhang Dadan and Xu Zhenren both knew that Ling Yanyan was referring to the zombies whose whereabouts were unknown, and that Xu Zhenren was actually still secretly worried about his senior brother.
The two of them sat there chatting, making small talk.
"Speaking of which, I saw you being chased by a lot of zombies earlier. I wonder what happened to you? How did you attract those zombies?" Master Xu's question really hit the nail on the head for Zhang Dadan. He immediately recounted his previous experiences.
There's nothing he can't say; he speaks frankly and without reservation, even revealing that he carried a peach wood sword and encountered zombies.
"So you mean you, an amateur, actually managed to temporarily repel the zombies with a peach wood sword?"
Master Xu opened his eyes wide, clearly not quite believing what Zhang Dadan had said. However, Ling Yanyan did not notice the doubt in his eyes, nodded seriously, and proudly puffed out his chest.
"That's right, after all, I've heard that you can drive away zombies with a peach wood sword, so I brought it specially. I didn't expect it to come in handy." Ling Yanyan listened quietly from the side, and couldn't help but marvel at how lucky Zhang Dadan was.
Surprisingly, this layman, who doesn't know any magic at all, actually managed to scare the zombie with something like a peach wood sword. I really don't know whether to call it his luck or his talent.
Master Xu nodded silently after hearing this, but the idea of taking on a disciple had already arisen in his heart.
After all, in his opinion, laymen would not understand how to use a peach wood sword, but this person in front of him could actually use some of the power of a peach wood sword. Maybe he was really suited to the path of a Taoist priest.
"What did you do before? Did you learn any magic like this?"
Zhang Dadan explained his previous work to Master Xu and said that he was very brave and that even if he encountered evil spirits or ghosts, he would not be particularly afraid, although most of the time he was the one being chased by ghosts.
"It seems you have quite a talent. I would like to take you as my disciple, to study exorcism and similar matters together. I wonder if you are interested?"
Master Xu smiled and extended an olive branch to Zhang Dadan, who was very excited upon hearing this and his eyes widened.
"Really? Master, will you take me as your disciple? I've been very troubled because I always get haunted by ghosts after I bleed. Maybe if I learn from you, I can get rid of those ghosts?!"
Master Xu wasn't entirely sure if they could handle the ghosts that were haunting Zhang Dadan, but in most cases, they certainly wouldn't have any problems.
"You can try following me for a while, but I advise you to think it through, because once you embark on this path, there's no going back!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dadan stopped his excited actions and prepared to immediately become an apprentice. He then seriously thought about it... Master Xu did not urge him but quietly waited for his choice.
