Chapter 1771: Chapter 1618: Entertainment Tycoon in Another World 48

Then Fan Chusheng was hugged tightly by the equally excited Hao Ren, and Xuan Fire’s tail flicked, wrapping both of them together, with its fiery red snake head directly wedged in between them.

Watching the two people and one snake huddled warmly together, Jian Shuangshuang, not being very familiar with them, left the underground passage, planning to wait until their excitement subsided.

Fortunately, Jian Shuangshuang didn’t have to wait long before Fan Chusheng, Hao Ren, and Xuan Fire emerged from the underground passage. Fan Chusheng immediately approached Jian Shuangshuang and bowed deeply.

"I have heard from Hao Ren, thank you for saving Xuan Fire and for passing on the cultivation method to me. Since you are a teacher who imparts the way, if you don’t mind, please allow me to become your apprentice."

Jian Shuangshuang: "..."

She didn’t know what to say. She had just casually handed out a cultivation method and had never thought about taking on an apprentice. Although imparting the way and teaching is what a teacher does, she truly hadn’t considered taking on an apprentice.

Jian Shuangshuang coughed lightly, "There’s no need to be so formal, that cultivation method was just a small effort for me.

Besides, consider this, I’m actually younger than you, wouldn’t you feel embarrassed to call me your master?"

Fan Chusheng shook his head, showing no hint of embarrassment, and said, "The ability to learn and level of cultivation are not dictated by age, in learning there is no distinction between young and old, the accomplished come first.

Your cultivation and abilities are far beyond mine. I would only feel honored and fortunate to call you my master, without any embarrassment. I sincerely hope you’ll accept me as your disciple."

Jian Shuangshuang’s mouth twitched, "But I’m still young, I’ve never thought about taking on apprentices yet, and I don’t know how to teach them. Let’s just skip the master-disciple thing for now."

Hao Ren, who followed Fan Chusheng out and was stunned by Fan Chusheng’s sudden plea to become an apprentice, finally came to his senses.

Seeing that his friend sincerely wanted to become a disciple, and considering that Jian Shuangshuang, at such a young age, already had the cultivation level of a Great Xuan Master, and that the cultivation method she gave out casually truly allowed Fan Chusheng to become a ghost cultivator,

all of this indicated that Jian Shuangshuang might have an incredibly powerful and well-connected mentor. It’s not surprising, as some mysterious hermits are just as unpredictable.

For instance, after discovering an exceptional talent, rather than taking them back and treating them like precious gems, personally teaching them, and providing all kinds of cultivation resources,

they might just leave a cultivation method for the disciple to cultivate on their own, and completely let them fend for themselves without providing any resources.

Because many great powers believe that geniuses who are overly pampered may become wasted, only those who experience hardships and challenges can truly grow into the best.

Hao Ren felt that Jian Shuangshuang’s mentor might be the type that gives their disciples a tough start. Although such a mentor might be a bit too tough, they would never really leave their disciples to fend for themselves.

They would secretly watch over the chosen disciples, and if the disciple faced dangers, they wouldn’t intervene, treating it as a training for the disciple.

However, if a disciple were to encounter life-threatening danger, or get bullied by someone of an unequal level, they certainly wouldn’t let it slide.

After all, though the great powers with peculiar mindsets are tough on their disciples, they only want to train them to be the best through trials, not to break them.

After imagining a grand drama in his head, Hao Ren started to feel that if his friend could have such a powerful and well-connected mentor like Jian Shuangshuang, it would definitely be a good thing; he wouldn’t have to worry about getting into trouble again.

With this thought, Hao Ren also spoke up to plead for Fan Chusheng: "Miss Jian, you’ve already done Chusheng a great favor by teaching him. Besides, Chusheng is a ghost cultivator, apart from you, it’s unlikely he’d find another good mentor.

Why not accept Chusheng as a disciple? This way, Xuan Fire wouldn’t have to be separated from Chusheng. Also, Chusheng has excellent aptitude and cultivation talent, taking him as a disciple certainly wouldn’t dishonor you."

Jian Shuangshuang felt a bit moved. Initially, she thought this was a bit ridiculous, but then she thought about it; in this world, indeed, it’s rare for someone to teach if they’re not a mentor.

And taking on a disciple isn’t really a troublesome thing. If she really accepted Fan Chusheng, it wouldn’t be a big deal. Perhaps noticing Jian Shuangshuang’s hesitation, Xuan Fire also swam over.

The fiery red snake head rubbed against the palm of Jian Shuangshuang, looking at Jian Shuangshuang with eyes full of anticipation, clearly pleading for her to accept Fan Chusheng as well.

Jian Shuangshuang sighed and patted Xuan Fire’s snake head, saying to Fan Chusheng, "Alright, since you are determined to become my disciple, I will accept you as my disciple."

A joyful smile appeared on Fan Chusheng’s face, and he immediately knelt and bowed to Jian Shuangshuang, "Disciple Fan Chusheng pays respect to Master."

Jian Shuangshuang reached out to help Fan Chusheng up, "Stand up. We should head back first and find a good day to hold the apprenticeship ceremony."

Regarding having a disciple older than herself, Jian Shuangshuang didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.

She isn’t actually younger than Fan Chusheng, so she very well accepts being called master by this very grand man.

Since this was her first time taking on a disciple, Jian Shuangshuang was very earnest. After returning, she contacted everyone she knew and held an initiation ceremony that, while not extravagant, was certainly solemn.

Afterward, Jian Shuangshuang specifically put aside all her tasks to meticulously guide Fan Chusheng’s cultivation until he successfully advanced to become a Xuan Master.

Then, Jian Shuangshuang returned to the serious business of film production. Earlier, she had thought about letting Fan Chusheng join in filming, but once she accepted him as a disciple, she reconsidered having him act in films.

The main reason being Fan Chusheng had just turned into a ghost cultivator and should focus on solidifying his cultivation. Even though she could guide him in intensive cultivation at night, it wouldn’t be as effective as round-the-clock cultivation.

So Jian Shuangshuang arranged for Fan Chusheng to focus on his cultivation and then poured her attention into the film shooting preparations. With familiar people for set construction, Jian Shuangshuang handed over the blueprints to the person in charge, then she didn’t have to worry about it.

Currently, Jian Shuangshuang is busiest teaching everyone, aiming to refine their acting skills enough to elevate them to the status of masterful actors.

Once that’s achieved, Jian Shuangshuang will be able to send them out to lead students, and within a few years, she’ll have an inexhaustible supply of actors.

In the future, she won’t have to strain her limited actors to make films, nor shy away from making films with a lot of roles because of a lack of personnel—it’s simply too frustrating.

Imagining a bright future, Jian Shuangshuang felt invigorated, picking up the script again to drill the main actors, with particular focus on the Wu Ziyi and Wu Qiaoxuan siblings who received the most intense scrutiny from her.
