Become the Strongest Master With a Genius Student

Chapter 10.5 – Side Story



"Village Chief Li! Miss Immortal is here again!"

"W-what did you say? Miss Immortal is here again? Where is she?!"

"She’s at the village entrance."

After hearing from one of his villagers that Miss Immortal, the person who had transformed the village, had come, Village Chief Li immediately went to the village entrance to meet her.

When he arrived, he saw many villagers crowding around Miss Immortal. Village Chief Li approached the crowd and saw Miss Immortal, who had not visited the village for a long time. Both he and the villagers noticed that Miss Immortal had not changed much, except for her tattered cloak, even though it had been a year and a half. Approaching Miss Immortal, Village Chief Li wanted to know the purpose of her visit.

"Your Excellency Miss Immortal, m-may I know the reason for your visit?"

"You don’t need to give me such an exaggerated title. You’re the village chief here, right?"

"Yes, I am indeed the Village Chief of this Stone village, Miss Immortal. May I know the purpose of your visit?"

"There’s no special reason. I just wanted to give you all the fruits and vegetables I brought from home. I apologize if what I brought isn’t enough for everyone, and I also apologize if my gift doesn’t meet your expectations. I also want to thank you for helping me build my house and providing household items back then."

"Thank you very much for this gift, Miss Immortal! The villagers and I will never regard your gift as worthless. We will accept it with our whole hearts! Helping build your house was indeed our own wish, so you needn’t feel bad."

‘This must be pleasantries, Miss Immortal, right? After all, if she wanted to, she could have built the house with a mere wave of her hand. Seeing the fruits and vegetables Miss Immortal brought, as Village Chief, I never knew such produce existed in the Death Forest. Could these fruits come from the immortal realm often mentioned in fairy tales among the people?’ thought Village Chief Li as he looked at the fruits and vegetables Miss Immortal had brought.

Taking the basket Miss Immortal brought, Village Chief Li instructed nearby villagers to store the fruits and vegetables.

"Well then, I will be going."

"W-wait, Miss Immortal! If it’s not too much trouble, would you care to dine here? We can’t just accept this gift without showing our gratitude." Village Chief Li responded quickly when he saw Miss Immortal preparing to leave.

‘Miss Immortal won’t be upset if I stop her, right? As the Village Chief of Stone, I really don’t have any ulterior motives in inviting her. As a representative of this village, I truly want to thank Miss Immortal because after her visit, all the plants and animals raised in the village have become healthier and fatter. The Death Forest near the village has also become safer, and even the children in this village have become stronger after Miss Immortal arrival.’

‘After knowing all this because of Miss Immortal, we all visited her home to thank her. However, strangely, the location of the house we knew did not show Miss Immortal house. Since Miss Immortal is here, of course, as the village representative, I want to thank her.’

Village Chief Li was quite nervous about his bravery in stopping Miss Immortal. He pondered his reasons and saw Miss Immortal looking at him from behind her cloak. After a moment, Miss Immortal nodded, as if she already understood his reasons from his thoughts.

"Well, alright, I’ll accept. After all, I’ve only visited this village twice, so I’m a bit curious to see what’s here."

"Thank you very much, Miss Immortal, for accepting this impolite invitation from someone as lowly as me."

Seeing Miss Immortal give a slight nod in response to his thanks, Village Chief Li immediately began showing her around the village.

"Miss Immortal! You’re so beautiful! Please hug me!"

"H-hey! Kids, go away! Don’t disturb Miss Immortal!"

"Eh? You want me to hug you? Well, that’s fine. Kids, come here."

Panicked by the rudeness of the village children approaching Miss Immortal in their dirty clothes, Village Chief Li quickly moved to shoo them away. However, Miss Immortal seemed to ignore Village Chief Li’s irritation and instead played with the village children. Village Chief Li could only breathe a sigh of relief at Miss Immortal kindness.

"Village Chief, who is that lonely little child? Why does he seem isolated? Do the villagers dislike him?"

"Of course not, Miss Immortal! That little child is named Liang San, the blacksmith's son in this village. I’m not sure why he’s alone. Maybe it’s because he nearly drowned near the village river. After surviving, he became a bit quiet and rarely socializes."

"Oh..."

While playing with the children, Miss Immortal noticed a lonely child staring at her from a distance. Curious, she asked Village Chief Li. After hearing Village Chief Li’s explanation, Miss Immortal merely nodded indifferently upon learning the reason.

Not far from there, the child being talked about approached Miss Immortal, as if he knew he was being discussed. Approaching Miss Immortal, the child spoke to her directly.

"Miss Immortal, please make me your disciple! You surely won’t regret making me your disciple. If you make me your disciple, once I become strong, I will conquer this world and give everything to you."

"Eh?"

"Y-you! How dare you ask Miss Immortal, to be your master! You’ve gone too far! Call his father, the blacksmith! His child has overstepped!"

The child remained silent, staring at Miss Immortal without flinching at Village Chief Li’s anger.

After hearing the child’s words, Miss Immortal merely frowned as if displeased by his boastful words and quickly concealed her expression from everyone except the child himself.

After a while, Miss Immortal responded to the child’s words with a friendly expression.

"Child—ah, Liang San, right? Hearing your serious attitude in wanting me as your teacher, I’m quite pleased. However, I’m sorry, but I’m not looking to accept a disciple."

After saying this, Miss Immortal left, followed by Village Chief Li, without looking back at the child’s expression.

Hearing Miss Immortal response and being left alone, the child’s innocent expression immediately turned into one of anger unusual for a child.

"How dare you reject me, a person of high status! I, who was reborn from another realm, cannot accept your words! Just wait, after I become immortal with the Mystic-level hidden technique from the Liang Sect, I will make sure your arrogance is crushed when I turn you into my slave!" he exclaimed angrily.

Miss Immortal, of course, was unaware of the child’s anger. She easily forgot about it as she did not want the trouble of taking on a disciple. Miss Immortal completely forgot about it after dining at the Village Chief's house and returning home happily with the needles, fish, vegetables, and household items she had requested from the Village Chief.
