Chapter 264 - 264 The Queen’s Decree264 The Queen’s Decree
Kong Rui put away the jade tablet and thanked the old man before preparing to leave.
The old man said to Kong Rui, “You accepted my jade tablet, but I don’t need your gratitude. How about you become my disciple instead?”
Kong Rui smiled bitterly. She didn’t expect that the old man was still unwilling to give up.
She bowed to the old man and said, “I don’t intend to acknowledge anyone as my mentor yet. I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you.”
“You don’t have a mentor?” The old man was even more surprised.
“I was wondering which otherworldly expert could teach a disciple like you. So you don’t have a mentor?” The old man became more and more excited as he spoke. He even stood up and grabbed Kong Rui’s wrist.
Kong Rui was shocked. She didn’t expect the old man to touch her.
The old man laughed crazily. “The heavens are really helping me! No matter what, I’ll definitely take you in as my disciple!”

The moment he opened the door, he saw Ding Mao eavesdropping.
The old man smacked Ding Mao’s head. “What are you eavesdropping on?! I want to take in a disciple. Hurry up and prepare!”
Seeing that Ding Mao was about to turn around and prepare things, Kong Rui immediately stopped him. “I don’t plan to acknowledge a mentor!”
The old man didn’t give Kong Rui a chance to continue struggling. He said to Ding Mao, “Go! Don’t waste my and your junior’s time!”
Kong Rui wanted to break free from the old man, but she knew that with her current strength, she couldn’t break free at all.
However, how did things develop to such a state?
Kong Rui thought about it, but she couldn’t figure out what the problem was.
While Kong Rui was still in a daze, Ding Mao had already started the apprenticeship ceremony with great fanfare.
Before the apprenticeship ceremony began, many guards from the royal family suddenly appeared on the first floor of Ding Clinic.
When the old man saw this, he couldn’t help but frown. “Go and send those irrelevant people away! What a buzzkill!”
Ding Mao immediately went downstairs to ask those guards. After a while, he walked over with a solemn expression.
The old man’s expression darkened. “What? Can’t you deal with those bastards?”
Ding Mao looked troubled. “The queen has decreed that I should enter the palace to treat the new princess.”
The old man waved his hand. “You’re not needed here, so just go!”
When Ding Mao heard this, he became filled with worry.
Seeing this, Kong Rui immediately said, “I don’t think today is a good day to do it. Why don’t we choose another auspicious day to discuss it?”
When the old man heard Kong Rui’s words, he wanted to reject her.
However, with a group of irksome people standing there, he wasn’t in the mood to take in a disciple.
The old man waved his hand to signal Ding Mao to go about his business.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKong Rui glanced at the guards but didn’t ask further.
The so-called new princess was probably Li Han.
If she wanted to invite Ding Mao for a consultation, was something wrong with Li Han’s body?
However, by making such a huge commotion, she was probably afraid that Ding Mao would reject her!
The old man naturally noticed Kong Rui’s expression. After Ding Mao left, the old man asked Kong Rui, “Do you know that new princess?”
Kong Rui was stunned for a moment before saying, “I don’t know her. I just heard that the new princess is not the queen’s biological daughter.”
The old man waved his hand indifferently. “The royal family is so complicated!”
“It’s just like that child from the Nie family. I don’t know what possessed him. He can barely survive but he still wants to marry that new princess!”
Speaking of Nie Yin, Kong Rui had some questions. “Have you seen Nie Yin before?”
“Uh-huh! We’ve only met once,” the old man said with some disdain. “He originally had good cultivation potential. I wonder what the head of the Nie family did to that kid to make him like this!”
“Nie Yin can barely survive?” Kong Rui probed again.
“Even that’s an overestimate! He’s probably on the brink of death!” The old man said perfunctorily.
“Do you know why he became like that?” Wanting to know Nie Yin’s exact situation, Kong Rui asked.
