That...
Fang Mao was stunned. He looked at Sara quietly. A few seconds later, he took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have an apprentice."
Sara was worried. "Please take me as your apprentice. Otherwise, I will not stand up."
Fang Mao's face did not show any emotional changes when he heard that. He said calmly, "Do as you wish!" After he said that, he turned around and walked into the cave to lie down. He fell asleep soon.
'Is that person so cold-blooded?'
Sara felt helpless when she saw that, but she clenched her teeth and continued to kneel. Even though Sara was the Carter family's young miss, and she was used to living in a luxurious environment, she had a strong character. She would not give up easily once she had set her mind on something.
Time passed by the minutes and seconds; the day had turned dark.
Fang Mao slept for a few hours. Suddenly, he sat up and looked around his surroundings; he was stunned.
He saw Sara still kneeling on the ground, but her body trembled. She looked like she would pass out soon. She had been unconscious earlier; she had not eaten or drunk after she knelt there for a few hours. No one could handle that if they were in that position.
'She is really stubborn.'
Fang Mao sighed inwardly; he walked toward Sara and said, "You really want me to be your master?"
Sara was about to pass out. She became alert instantly when she heard Fang Mao's words. She nodded with determination and said, "Yes, I beg you, Master; please o take me as your apprentice."
Fang Mao looked at Sara and nodded slowly. "I did not expect you to be a girl with such great determination. Fine, I shall agree with your request."
Then, Fang Mao helped Sara to stand up and return to the cave to rest.
"Since you are my disciple, I shall tell you about my rules." Fang Mao looked grave when he looked at Sara as he said, "The technique I cultivated does not belong to any sect or group. However, it has a title—the Thousand Appearances Figure!
"Once you become the Thousand Appearances Figure, you must defeat the evil and help the weak. You must not be greedy for fame and power.
"The Thousand Appearances Figure's title can only be passed down to one person per generation. That is the rule. My master only had me as his only apprentice, and I only have you. As such, you will not have senior brothers or sisters. On the day I die, you will be the only Thousand Appearances Figure in the world. You will then need to find a suitable disciple and pass this title to them."
