When Zhang Yiyi heard that Jia Fang not only did not give up his plan to take her in as his disciple but even looked down on his own master, she immediately became unhappy.

What does "Your current master is definitely not as good as me" mean?

What does "You won't go wrong if you listen to me" mean?

Her master is the best master in the world, how could he be worse than others?

Stop joking; if she wants to listen, it will definitely be to her own master. Why should she listen to an outsider's unsolicited advice?

"Senior, you misunderstand. My current master is excellent, so I do not intend to take on another master. I am grateful for your kindness, but unfortunately, I am not worthy of it. I hope you can understand."

She directly rejected Jia Fang, her tone firm and resolute. She wouldn't change her master or casually accept another, even if the other party might be stronger than Jiang Heng in the future.

Once a master, always a father. In Zhang Yiyi's view, one master was enough. After all, who would think of replacing their father or seeking out more fathers for no reason?

"What did you say? Are you rejecting me? Do you know what you're doing? Do you understand the immense opportunity you're missing and the incredible chance you're letting slip away?"

Jia Fang's spirit was utterly shocked, finally realizing a reality he could hardly believe but had to accept. His future disciple, whom he had high hopes for, had unhesitatingly turned him down. This completely overturned his knowledge and imagination built over thousands of years!

After all, even before ascending, anyone he wanted to take as a disciple would have desperately sought such a blessing. Who would willingly refuse such a tremendous temptation?

Not to mention he had already ascended to the upper realm. Having an already ascended master as a mentor was a big deal. It was hard to believe that a mere foundational-level girl would not be delighted to have such a fantastic opportunity.

"Yes, senior, I am fully aware of everything you've said. However, I still insist on my own thoughts because I already have the best master in the world, and that is enough!"

Zhang Yiyi nodded again, affirming that her master was already the best in her heart and irreplaceable. Moreover, such matters depended more on fate and feelings; it wasn't as simple as buying something where you could just change or add a master at will.

To outsiders, her behavior might seem quite stubborn and unwise, but for Zhang Yiyi, she just wanted to follow her heart.

"You little brat, you really don't know how to appreciate kindness!"

Jia Fang was furious again. It was one thing to refuse him, but to say that her original master was the best in the world meant she was saying he, Jia Fang, was not as good as a lower realm cultivator.

What a blind girl! He had been so generous and considerate at the beginning, even offering to share her as a disciple with others. Who would have thought this little brat wouldn't appreciate it at all? She didn't regard his dignified status as a true immortal at all!

Seeing that the spirit was truly enraged this time, Zheng He felt anxious for Zhang Yiyi and instinctively tugged at her, wanting to advise her not to speak too firmly. After all, this was a powerful being who had already ascended; such an opportunity was indeed rare.

Moreover, the senior hadn't prohibited Zhang Yiyi from recognizing her previous master; it was just a matter of taking on a new master, which was quite common. Even if Zhang Yiyi's current master found out, he would likely agree and might even feel happy for her.

If it were him, he would have quickly accepted, delighted by the opportunity, and would have never thought to refuse.

But before he could say anything, Zhang Yiyi, having seen through him, shook her head seriously to stop him, her demeanor indicating there was no room for negotiation and that she didn't need to hear any advice from him.

Seeing this, Zheng He had no choice but to keep quiet and abandon the idea of persuading her, secretly hoping that the senior wouldn't feel humiliated and blame Zhang Yiyi, leading to trouble in their promised release.

Zheng He couldn't speak, and the others, despite feeling sorry for Zhang Yiyi, also had no position to say anything. They simply hoped they wouldn't lose the hard-earned chance to leave.

"I hope you can understand, senior. I'm not refusing kindness; it's just that I already have a master, and I won't change my way of cultivation. Your teachings would surely be the best in the world, a tremendous blessing that countless people would wish for, but it might not suit me."

Zhang Yiyi thought for a moment and eventually made a heartfelt explanation, offering the most sincere blessings.

"I believe that in the future, you will definitely find a disciple who is more suited to you and resonates better with you. And your future disciples will also recognize you as their only master after taking you as their mentor, even if they encounter supreme experts who are a thousand times stronger than you; that won't change your unique status and position in their hearts!"

Putting herself in his shoes, Zhang Yiyi believed that someone like Jia Fang, with such a temperament, must desire uniqueness above all. Thus, what she said came from genuine sincerity and was not merely a way to decline.

In fact, Zhang Yiyi's intuition was correct. After hearing her words, Jia Fang's rage, which was about to explode, surprisingly calmed down and eased.

"Hmph, I guess you little brat have some intelligence. I'm too lazy to argue with a blind fool like you."

After a moment, Jia Fang begrudgingly changed his tone but still muttered discontentedly, "Just wait and regret! But it'll be too late; anyway, I won't give you another chance! Everything good in this cave was originally meant for my future disciple. Since you've given it up, then you won't get any of it!"

Jia Fang's words were full of disdain, but deep down, he felt a pang of regret; what a shame that such a good disciple had been snatched away.

Her talent, understanding, and character were all rare finds, and it was a pity to see them taken by someone else.

Well, it is what it is; such things can't be forced. As this girl said, he wouldn't want to share a disciple. Her last words had indeed touched his heart.

Seeing that Jia Fang had given up on taking her as a disciple and didn't truly hold a grudge against her, Zhang Yiyi secretly sighed in relief.

Although she found Jia Fang's personality strange and had many faults, he was fundamentally a person with principles, bottom lines, and great ambition.

"Thank you for your understanding, senior. If there's nothing else, we won't disturb you any longer."

Seeing this, Zhang Yiyi proposed to leave again. She was afraid that if they stayed too long, Jia Fang's spirit would notice that all the treasures in the mountains around the cave had disappeared, she wondered if they could still escape smoothly.
