The journey of Emperor Donghua through time

“Emperor, are you going to accept me and Lan Zhan as your disciples?” Wei Wuxian was quite surprised. During all the time they had been together, he had not seen any sign that Emperor Donghua had any intention of accepting him as a disciple. Could it be that after seeing Lan Wangji and thinking that he had amazing talent, he came up with the idea of ​​accepting him as a disciple?

But why did he accept me as his disciple? Wei Wuxian's mind was in a storm. Was he afraid that Lan Wangji would be hurt if he was accepted but not himself? That was unnecessary. Wei Wuxian's psychological endurance was not that bad.

"Yes." Emperor Donghua nodded.

“Emperor, if you want to accept Lan Zhan as your disciple, you don’t have to consider me. I have a strong tolerance for it and I won’t be sad just because you only accept Lan Zhan and not me.” Wei Wuxian said to Emperor Donghua very sincerely.

“Why do you think so?” Emperor Donghua sometimes couldn’t understand what was going on in Wei Wuxian’s mind.

“Didn’t you fancy Lan Zhan’s excellent talent for cultivation and wanted to take him in as your disciple, but were afraid that I would be sad if I only took him in, so you took both of them in with reluctance?” Wei Wuxian told Emperor Donghua his thoughts truthfully.

“Don’t let your imagination run wild.” Although Wei Wuxian looks lively and can get along with everyone, he actually has no sense of security and is very unconfident. If faced with a choice, he will be the first to give up on himself without anyone saying anything.

Emperor Donghua was somewhat helpless about the habit Wei Wuxian had developed since childhood. It seemed that he had to build the Heart Refining Tower and throw this kid in to gain experience. Otherwise, with his current mental state, it would be difficult for him to survive the inner tribulation he encountered in the future.

"Do you think I can force myself to do this for the sake of other people's ideas?"

“Hey, Your Majesty, you are… really not!” Wei Wuxian wanted to say that he was quite self-aware, but the cold look from Emperor Donghua forced him to change his words. He then asked cheerfully, “Do you really want to take me as your apprentice?”

“Why don’t you want to?” Emperor Donghua narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dangerous aura pressed directly towards Wei Wuxian.

“No, no, no, I am honored to have you as my master.” Wei Wuxian rolled his eyes and made a weird and awkward gesture to Emperor Donghua, “Master, please accept my disciple’s greetings!”

“No need to be so polite, my dear disciple!” After retracting his aura, Emperor Donghua played with Wei Wuxian as if nothing had happened.

“Hahahaha…” Wei Wuxian was amused by himself.

Looking at Wei Wuxian who was laughing heartily, Emperor Donghua couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips, and he was obviously in a good mood.

"Emperor, thank you!" After Wei Wuxian stopped laughing, he suddenly thanked Emperor Donghua very solemnly.

Thank you for saving me, and thank you for teaching me to practice again, which gave me hope of survival. Thank you for your company during this time, which let me know that I am not alone!

Emperor Donghua obviously understood the meaning of his words. Without saying much, he gladly accepted his thanks.

"You will perform the apprenticeship ceremony tomorrow. Keep it simple." This was the first time in hundreds of thousands of years that Emperor Donghua had accepted disciples. He felt quite regretful that he could not give his two disciples a complete apprenticeship process. He could only think of compensating them when he returned to the Three Lives World in the future.

“So anxious?” Wei WuXian felt that this was quite sudden. Just as he had said this, he was looked at by Emperor Donghua with a look that made him feel a little weak. He hurriedly said, “Tomorrow is tomorrow. You have the final say!”

Emperor Donghua was satisfied and didn't care at all that Wei Wuxian said he was old. After all, compared to them who were only in their twenties, he, a god who was hundreds of thousands of years old, was indeed very old.
