Wufu accepted a teacher’s gift from Old Mr. Meng—a Yellow Jade Pendant, its surface smooth and lustrous, suggesting it hadn’t been too long since it joined its former owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu put it away, looked at Old Mr. Meng, and then at the jade pendant in her hand, deciding to give a return gift, she looked towards Jadeite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jadeite had a purse at her waist, slightly larger than an ordinary one. She untied it, rummaged through it, and handed over a small porcelain bottle: \"Xiao Bai left it for emergencies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Made from top-grade medicinal materials, these Heart Pills were for emergency use, with only five pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu glanced at the small label on the bottle and presented it to Old Mr. Meng with both hands: \"Didn’t expect to become an apprentice, didn’t bring much. These are Life-saving Pills, used to hang onto life, cure if there’s illness, strengthen if there’s not, use sparingly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mr. Meng exclaimed: \"You unfilial disciple, are you cursing me to an early grave?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don’t want them, fine.\" Wufu unhesitatingly withdrew them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Old Mr. Meng was over sixty, he was in great spirits and quick of hand and foot. He swiftly snatched them back: \"Who said I don’t want them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He read the label on the bottle that said Heart Pills, opened the stopper, and a refreshing medicinal fragrance instantly wafted out, invigorating the spirit and easing the heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a fragrance.\" Someone took a deep breath, really wanting to consume a pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mr. Meng naturally smelled it too and knew it must be good stuff. He hastily re-corked the bottle and solemnly put it into his chest pocket, patting it as if afraid someone might snatch it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jadeite watched, sniffing. It was definitely good stuff, made with lots of top-grade herbs, only ten pills in total. Worth a fortune, five were left here, but Wufu handed them out just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spoiled rotten!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Receiving Jadeite’s resentful gaze, Wufu gave an embarrassed smile, thinking she must gather more good herbs, or Bai Xiaobai might explode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations, Old Sir, on gaining an outstanding disciple, and congratulations, Miss Wufu. Shall we have a drink in celebration?\" Third Old Master Wen congratulated cheerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others felt inexplicable emotions, but the apprenticeship ceremony was complete, so they could only smile in congratulation, while envying Wufu’s good fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today is just the apprenticeship; we’ll choose another auspicious day for a banquet.\" Old Mr. Meng glanced at Wufu and said, \"I, Meng Songguan, am taking a Close Door Disciple, and it’s worth announcing to everyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd was stunned again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Close Door Disciple refers to the last disciple a teacher takes, after which they retire and no longer take direct disciples, leaving it to their students to accept disciples instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Typically, the Close Door Disciple is the teacher’s most beloved, holding a very special and favored position among all disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Old Mr. Meng seeing Wufu as his Close Door Disciple demonstrated his affection and confirmed her status. They’d just met on the first day and only exchanged a few words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t expect Old Mr. Meng’s nature, always doing as he pleased, following his heart, just accepting her without much deliberation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another point is that so-called \"fated impression\" determines a connection with just one look. Some people, at a glance, resonate with your aura and win your favor, while others, regardless of time spent, remain distant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, fate can decide much, whether it becomes a bond, and how long it lasts rests on the two involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fate comes and goes, deepens and fades, beyond the control of such high-level creatures as humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In support, there is a poem: The arising and ending of fate reach their end; flowers bloom and fall returning to dust, simply worldly connections.\u003C\u002Fp>",636,"2026-06-05T19:25:37.460Z",1,"novelbin.me","c96824ca04893445097da7d8dfc0c4fea3ec437f7c1f76b9e983735e8a49afd9","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-1163","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-1161",1685,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdoted-by-the-regent-king-cover.jpg"]
