"Ah?"
The young man was suddenly startled, then shook his head and said, "No way."
"Why not?" Mu Xinlan frowned.
"I am already Master's disciple, how could I accept your martial arts? If Master finds out, she might not be pleased."
"You kid... you surely think a lot."
Mu Xinlan looked displeased, saying, "You call me 'Martial Uncle.' In a way, accepting the martial arts I offer you is perfectly legitimate, is it not?"
"Moreover, you must have sensed it, right? When I perform the Dao Mark Reincarnation Technique, my mana is in a temporary vacuum, no different from an ordinary mortal, and I can't possibly withstand the savage attack of the Seven Absolute Slaughter Immortal Formation."
"This is also why I asked you earlier if you could trust me unconditionally."
"You had already promised me before to protect me with all your strength. Are you regretting it now?"
"No, Qingling lives his life without regrets!"
