Chapter 1160: Chapter 1160: Gu Jin: You’re About to Break Through (Monthly Ticket Requested)
The Mu Family personally comes to her this time, how could she refuse.
Taking Mu Zifan as her apprentice is also considered a way to win over the Mu Family, which can make the obstacles Yu Shuo faces in the Cabinet slightly lessened.
Currently, in Beijing, the Four Great Families, the Royal Family, the Mu Family, the Wanqi Family, the Yin Family, either have their direct descendants as her apprentice or have family members who have received her favor.
With these connections, handling matters won’t leave Yu Shuo tied up.
Of course, Gu Jin doesn’t just take anyone as an apprentice; she evaluates their compatibility and character.
The character of the Mu Family is guaranteed; although she has rarely interacted with this family in recent years, all their actions are taken into account.
A family of sentiment and loyalty, they are the benchmark among the prestigious families in Beijing.
Mu Zifan himself, Gu Jin remembers her third apprentice, Wanqi Jingyi’s evaluation of him: a person of noble and upright character.
He is adept at maneuvering power but does not crave it.
Now Mu Zifan in the Cabinet has vaguely established a stable position but remains with his principles, embodying the gentlemanly demeanor.
Such a person as her apprentice will not tarnish the Xuanji Sect, and she will treat him fairly.
Linda soon returned, carrying a cup of cold tea.
The exquisite teacup, the intricate patterns, all indicate the significant meaning of this tea.
However, the father and son of the Mu Family are unaware.
Linda approached the group but did not hand the teacup to Mu Zifan; instead, she placed it on the table.
Then, she picked up the untouched teacup from the table and handed it to Mu Zifan.
Though Mu Zifan found her actions peculiar, he did not ask about it; he reached out to receive the teacup from Linda’s hand.
Then, he raised it high above his head, facing Gu Jin with respect, his demeanor perfect and dignified.
"While my mentor is above, please accept my disciple’s prostration!"
Mu Zifan respectfully knelt on the ground, keeping the teacup stable.
After bowing three times, he stood up and handed the tea to Gu Jin.
Gu Jin took the teacup and gestured to Linda.
Only then did Linda pick up the previously set-down cold tea from the table and presented it to Mu Zifan.
Linda’s voice was cold and emotionless: "This is given to you by Miss Gu."
Mu Zifan accepted the teacup with both hands, looking at Gu Jin, meeting her eyes filled with a smile.
Gu Jin had already drunk the tea Mu Zifan offered, placed the teacup on the table, and said to him: "This cold tea is good for you. Drink it, don’t waste it."
"Thank you, Mentor."
Mu Zifan did not know the effect of this cold tea; he drank it all in one go.
Once the tea entered his abdomen, he quickly felt something off.
His whole body felt burning hot, as if being roasted over fire.
This intense sensation came unexpectedly, instantly changing Mu Zifan’s expression.
His face flushed, and his exposed hands and wrists turned unnaturally red.
Seeing this, the Mu Family Head’s face showed concern.
His eyes flickered between his eldest son and Gu Jin.
He believed Gu Jin wouldn’t harm his son, but seeing his son’s painful look, his heart was uneasy, not knowing what to do.
Gu Jin’s expression remained calm as she casually asked: "Feeling the heat throughout your body, as if there’s a fire burning in your Dantian?"
Mu Zifan’s hands holding the teacup became unstable, he nodded to Gu Jin.
"Yes, my body feels uncomfortable."
The feeling, Mu Zifan couldn’t describe; it was just really uncomfortable overall.
Gu Jin chuckled softly, her voice gentle: "Guide your qi to the Dantian; you are about to break through."
