Chapter 116: Little Junior Sister

“Was it later?” Ever since Team Xuanyuan Seven was forcefully disbanded, Luan Zheng had concealed his identity. Wu Bei had been asking around for news of his teacher for many years, but he had never had the chance to see him.

“Yes and no. To you, I was taken in later. But to me, I’ve already become Master’s disciple when I have my memories,” Qin Ran said.

She was Academician Ning’s beloved daughter. Back then, her master had a very good relationship with Academician Ning. It was not that she was begging him to take her daughter as his disciple.

After all, it had been a long time. Qin Ran seemed to be afraid that her words would not be convincing, so she took out her phone and called Luan Zheng.

“Good afternoon, Master,” Qin Ran greeted sweetly.

“Qingqing, you finally remembered to call me. How long has it been since you last came to see me? I’ve missed you so much.” Ever since he took Qin Ran in as his disciple, Luan Zheng’s wish to dote on a daughter had been fulfilled. After all, he only had one son.

“I miss you too, Master. But I’m studying at Q University now. Master, guess who I met?” There were only Qin Ran and Wu Bei in the self-study room during lunch, so after the call was connected, she turned on the speakerphone. Professor Wu could clearly hear every word Luan Zheng said.

“Who did our Qingqing meet?” Luan Zheng’s tone was filled with affection.

“Professor Wu Bei.”

“Oh, Wu Bei, one of my disciples. Speaking of which, I haven’t seen him for many years.”

Luan Zheng not only had a master-disciple relationship with Wu Bei, but he also had the gratitude for receiving help from him. In this life, Wu Bei would always respect his master, no matter how many years had passed.

“Master, he’s beside me now,” Qin Ran said.

“Is that so? Then put him on the phone.” Luan Zheng really had a few words to instruct Wu Bei.

“Master, I’m here.” Wu Bei’s voice trembled slightly. It was obvious that he was excited and happy.

“Wu Bei, it’s been nearly twenty years since we last met. How have you been?” Actually, it was not that Luan Zheng did not know that Wu Bei was looking for him all these years. However, his identity was special after all. For the sake of his disciple’s safety, he had always tried his best to hide his whereabouts.

“Great!” His master’s concerned words sounded, and Wu Bei could not help but tear up.

“Alright, I have something important to ask of you.”

“Alright!” Before he could ask anything, Wu Bei agreed.

At the side, Qin Ran looked at the master and disciple talking through the phone and was actually a little touched.

“Qingqing is my beloved disciple. I have taught her step by step for more than ten years. Even though the difference in your ages is big, she is still your junior sister. Since she has come to your school, you have to take good care of her.” Luan Zheng originally wanted to raise her as his daughter, but Qin Ran was too likable. She was exquisite, beautiful, smart, and cute. He had long wanted her as his daughter-in-law.

“Definitely!” With his master’s words, even if Qin Ran were to walk around Q University unhindered in the future, he would definitely take care of her until the end.

“No need, no need!” Qin Ran hurriedly said. She didn’t make this call to get close to him.

“Qingqing, it’s so inconvenient for a young lady like you to be outside alone. I can rest assured with more people taking care of you.”

Luan Zheng had already said what he wanted to say. Even if Qin Ran begged him to take it back, Professor Wu would definitely think that he had already received the order and would definitely take care of her until the end.

Forget it, forget it. Qin Ran tacitly agreed. Then, the three of them chatted for a while more before hanging up.

As expected, after hanging up the phone, Professor Wu immediately took action.

“Junior Sister, I’ll take you out to eat.” He had to do what his master said.

Qin Ran waved her hand repeatedly. “Professor, I don’t want too many people to know my identity. I just want to be an ordinary student. So, can we not call each other senior and junior in the future? You can continue to call me Qin Ran. And I’ll call you Professor Wu like the other students.”

“But…” Wu Bei swallowed the rest of his words. Qin Ran’s identity was indeed special. Moreover, she had deliberately blocked his words in the laboratory previously. She probably didn’t want to expose her identity. Then, he should respect Qin Ran’s choice.

Her identity could be kept a secret, and the care had to be in place. No matter how Qin Ran refused, Wu Bei had to take her out for a meal.

Since it was just a meal, Qin Ran could only agree to the professor’s request.
