Chapter 153 The Master Accepts Disciples

"No rush, you can think about it before answering me. Even if you don't agree, the Moon Bead will still be yours, I won't snatch it!" Francis reminded with a smile.

  Ethan wondered how he could not be in a hurry? He had finally learned the origin of the beads and could now obtain the true method of using them. Ethan was eager to know!

  "No need, I agree! But how can I become your disciple since your Magister has passed away,?" Ethan asked Francis as he stood up.

  As for the Sun Bead, he naturally put it in his pocket without thinking!

  Upon hearing that, Francis also stood up. In fact, the so-called apprenticeship was quite simple. All one had to do was to bow three times to the spirit tablet and portrait of his Magister!

  According to Francis, the previous Heavenly Master was called Maximilian Taylor, originally named Steven Harris. After becoming the Heavenly Master, he changed his surname to Taylor, just like all the previous Heavenly Masters. Of course, this was only the naming method used in Tiger Mount. In the secular world, one could continue using one’s original name without any influence.

  Well, Maximilian was dead. Although Ethan felt a little awkward, he didn't have any psychological burden.

  When he became the head of the ZF Guild and the new generation of Heavenly Master in the future, he would only have disciples and grandchildren kowtowing to him!

  After bowing, the apprenticeship ceremony was completed. Ethan became Francis' junior brother and suddenly gained the title of Magister of the ZF Guild.

  "This is our ZF Guild's Heaven Sea and usually managed by the Grandmaster. But since you have worldly matters to attend to, Senior will keep it temporarily and will naturally give it to you when you need it!"

  After the apprenticeship was completed, Francis took out a square seal from his sleeve and showed it to Ethan. Then he took it back.

  Heaven Seal didn't interest Ethan much. Anyway, he didn't plan to publicize his relationship with the ZF Guild. It wouldn't be useful and would only expose his identity.

  "Senior, let's discuss how to use the Yin and Yang Beads," Ethan was focused on the method of using the beads and didn't pay much attention to Heaven Seal.

  "The ZF Knack is the accompanying technique for the Yin and Yang Beads. As long as you study carefully, you can naturally control them," Francis said with a smile, handing a ancient book to Ethan.

  "The ZF Knack? Is this a technique?" Ethan was intrigued but deflated immediately when he impatiently flipped through it.

  The book was written in seal script instead of simplified characters. Who could understand that?

  "This is the translation I made. It might be helpful for you!" Francis seemed to notice Ethan's awkwardness and handed another book to him.

  Ethan immediately took it and glanced at its content. He finally relaxed.

  Luckily, Francis had translated it into simplified characters that he could understand!

  "This is only a part of the translation?" Ethan still asked with hope.

  "The ZF Knack is profound, Senior has only translated the practices and medical skills that can be directly translated. But it can only be comprehended by Junior himself for the more profound ones. Once there is a mistake in translation, it could be misleading. So Junior needs to study more!" Francis reminded with a smile.

  "Senior, tell me honestly. Why did you choose me?" Helpless, Ethan could only temporarily put the two books away and straightforwardly asked Francis .

  "Because you have an innate cold constitution and can communicate with the Moon Bead, which will undoubtedly make your cultivation easier in the future! Moreover, you are young and have a good temperament, making you the best candidate to inherit the position of the Heavenly Master. Unlike me, who is already halfway to the grave! And... choosing you was also Magister's intention!" Francis's last explanation made Ethan's heart tremble.

  Could it be that Maximilian had predicted that Ethan would appearone day in the future, so he let Francis hide in this place and establish St. Benedict's Priory?

  If Maximilian had the gift of foresight, that would be a bit terrifying, wouldn't it? How did he do it?

  "Anyway, thanks a lot, Senior. But I have one more request. Can you keep the matter about ZF Guild and me becoming your disciple a secret for now?" Ethan took a deep breath and then changed the subject.

  " I was planning to remind you even if you don't say it, Junior. The position of ZF Guild's Tian Shi cannot be disclosed for now. You're still too weak and need to continue to grow!" Francis nodded in agreement.

  Ethan suddenly had a terrible feeling. "Senior, you wouldn't have set a trap for me, would you? You said before that I wouldn't have to deal with any enemies of ZF Guild!"

  "That's right. Junior. No need to ask more. I know you have many secular matters to attend to. When the time is right, you will naturally realize that I didn't deceive you. ZF Guild never actively seeks trouble with any guild or individual. But if someone wants to destroy ZF Guild and prevented it from flourishing, that's a different story!" Francis stroked his beard, smiling like a sly old fox.

  Ethan rolled his eyes. No matter how cautious he was, he couldn't prevent Francis from playing word games with him and tricking him like this!

  "You're cunning, Senior!"

  "Junior, you're too kind!"

  When Ethan and Francis returned to outside of Remington's ward, they saw Bennit and Sarah waiting at the door, all looking frustrated.

  "Why are you guys outside? Did Remington wake up?"

  Ethan asked curiously.

  "He's awake. It's weird though. Remington seems to have just woken up from a nap, full of energy. He even had three bowls of corn porridge. He's talking with grandpa inside and doesn't seem willing to let us listen!"

  Sarah ran up and grabbed Ethan's arm when she saw him come back.

  "I have helped him regulate his body before and removed the bullet. He is completely recovered now." Ethan said confidently.

  "Ethan, the doctor has done a full body checkup on Grandpa. The bullet in his head is indeed gone, but there are still two bullets in his abdomen and knee. Can you help remove them, too?"

  Bennit suddenly asked at that moment. "You can trust me. No problem! But let's choose a different place, and don't cause trouble at St. Benedict's Priory again!" Ethan said, glancing at Francis, whose face turned dark instantly. It was only then that Francis's complexion eased a bit.

  "That is for sure. Francis, I will have someone compensate you for the loss of those potted plants," Bennit said apologetically to Francis.

  "Thank you, Bennit," Francis replied, relieved. He didn't want to go through that again. Otherwise, the flowers and plants at St. Benedict's Priory would likely be destroyed!

  "By the way, why did you two take so long? What did you talk about with Francis?" Sarah asked curiously, staring at Ethan.

  "We didn't say much. Francis accepted me as his apprentice, so now Francis and I are like brothers!" Ethan replied. Upon hearing that, everyone's expressions were filled with disbelief, especially Mr. Jerome and the others. Their faces turned dark!
