Sorry but I only accept female disciples!

In the lavish living room, chuckles of laughter and teasing giggles filled the air as twenty women gathered, lounging around on plush couches and soft cushions.

In one of the couches, a man is sitting, his long white hair flowing down his shoulder as his golden eyes shined faintly.

A pink haired woman is lying on his lap, snuggling her face on his abdomen as he continued patting her head.

She softly moved her face from his belly and raised her head, bringing her lips close to his ears "You scoundrel... you managed to get 20 disciples from this world.. huh."

Hearing his wife, Goddess of Fate's accusation, Zhang Yuan smiled dryly and held her waist "Guess.. I am lucky."

(A/n: Check chapter 36 to know about her...)

Shui Yin narrowed her eyes slightly, a playful glint shining in them as she reached up and pinched his cheek. "Yeah, sure, just luck," she muttered, though her lips twitched into a small smirk. "You scoundrel."

As they were speaking, a sudden knock was heard on the door surprising them.

One of the women stood up "Who would come here?"

"Someone came to see our Master?"

the woman walked to the door and opened it revealing a black haired beautiful woman standing there with an exhausted face.

"Uh... Mei Lian?"

Mei Lian showed a smile and nodded her head "Yeah, I came to see your Master..."

The woman smiled and opened the door fully so that Mei Lian could enter.

Looking at Mei Lian, Zhang Yuan smiled softly and she made her way towards Zhang Yuan who was sitting on his couch.

"Master..."

She kneeled in front of him, bowing her head.

Shui Yin who was on his lap rolled her eyes "He still hasn't accepted you as his disciple..."

Hearing this Mei Lian nodded her head and turned to Zhang Yuan. "I know... but I am sure Master will surely accept me this time."

With a sincere bow she spoke "Master.. I have reached the King Profound Stage at the age of 29. Do you think... I am talented enough to be your disciple now?"

Zhang Yuan's gaze softened as Mei Lian had been following him for years to be accepted as his disciple.. but he simply couldn't accept her.

At this time, he heard Shui Yin's mental message 'Husband… don't accept her. You know what her fate entails, and how crucial it is for the world she is tied to.'

With a soft sigh, Zhang Yuan spoke "Mei Lian.. you are doing great without any Master to mentor you, and you have already reached the King Profound Stage at such a young age. It is really commendable."

"I don't think you even need a Master anymore."

Mei Lian hurriedly shook her head "No, Master... I really want to be your disciple and I hope you will acknowledge me and accept me."

Looking at her hopeful eyes, Zhang Yuan felt bad to reject her but he again heard Shui Yin 'Scoundrel, you know about her fate... and how important it is for that world.'

The others were also waiting for another junior sister to join their group as they knew how hard Mei Lian had been working these past years to be Zhang Yuan's disciple.

Zhang Yuan closed his eyes and leaned back leisurely "Sorry, Mei Lian, I can't accept you as my disciple."

"H-Huh?"

Mei Lian's eyes wavered in shock and the smile on her face slowly faltered, tears moistening her eyes.

The other women in the room were also surprised that he actually rejected her again.

As tears rolled down her eyes, Mei Lian stood there kneeling like a statue, still in shock that she had been rejected again.

Snapping out of her shock, she hurriedly asked "W-W-Why Master.. I-I am really talented.. and I can work hard... I can do whatever you tell me, a-and I won't let you down, Master..."

"S-So.. please..."

She hurriedly wiped her tears forcing a big smile on her master "J-Just tell me what do I need to become your disciple... I-I can do it... just... please."

Hearing her whimpers, Zhang Yuan's heart clenched in pain but he simply chose to avert his gaze away.

The women in the room glanced at each other in confusion and one woman stood up "Master.. what are you doing?"

"Little Sister tried so hard to be your disciple... so why can't you just accept her?"

"We are not as talented as Mei Lian.. but still you accepted us and made us talented, Master..."

"Mei Lian deserves to be your disciple."

Hearing their voice, Zhang Yuan turned to look at Mei Lian who was looking at him with tear-filled eyes.

"Mei Lian... I know how hard you worked, but fate doesn't allow you to be my disciple."

Mei Lian was confused as a low mutter escaped her lips "Fate...?"

"Fate," Shui Yin finally interjected, sitting up from Zhang Yuan's lap and gazing down at Mei Lian with her sharp eyes, "is not something you can simply ignore. If you stay by my husband's side, you will never reach your true potential. You will be bound by a fate that is not yours."

Zhang Yuan stood up from the couch and gently crouched, helping her to stand up.

Looking into her eyes, he spoke in a soft tone "One day... fate will bring us together and that day I will accept you as my disciple."

Mei Lian's gaze dropped as she spoke in a defeated voice "When will that day come.. Master?"

With a smile, he reached out patting her head "It will surely come... please wait for me."

Clenching her fist, she gave a heavy nod "I-I will be waiting Master.. for that day."

She raised her gaze as a smile bloomed on her lips "You promised me..."

With that, she hurriedly ran off from there and closed the door.

After she left, the women quickly swarmed him, demanding answers "Master.. why did you do that?"

"You broke her heart..."

"Poor Lian'er..."

Zhang Yuan let out a soft sigh and spoke "It has to be done... as that is her fate."

He then turned to look at Shui Yin and smiled "Dear... since I listened to your words, I will destroy this world's fate for compensation. I don't like the world consciousness anyway."

"And I will also meddle with that world affairs where Mei Lian would be reincarnated."

What?

Shui Yin was taken aback and her eyes shrank in shock "Wait, no.. Hus-

*flick*

...

Sitting inside the private room of the restaurant Zhang Yuan glanced at Hong Shi who was sitting opposite to him.

Ming Yuelin and Xue Hua are sitting on both of his sides, with Ming Yuelin clinging on his hand.

Looking at Hong Shi, Zhang Yuan sighed in his heart...

Mei Lian's fate...

She is supposed to die and reincarnate in another world as a talented genius with the divine blessing of the Goddess of Life.

The Son of Heavens of this world.

A typical protagonist story and she is the protagonist of this world.

He shouldn't have interfered with the old world in the first place and that caused a variation of Mei Lian clinging onto him to become his disciple.

But he still interfered in that world and even accepted 20 disciples...

So, Shui Yin who was tired of maintaining the fate of the worlds asked him not to tamper with Mei Lian's fate as she is very crucial to the world she is going to be reincarnated.

Heeding her words, he let her go and now she is here...

And in a typical fashion, the MC should loathe demons and Hong Shi should exterminate all the demons.

That's how the fate of this world should go...

But Zhang Yuan interfered again, taking disciples and playing with the fate of this world too...

His wife is no longer angry with him, so he decided to continue playing with fate...

And another reason, he came to this world is to accept Hong Shi as his disciple.

Feeling the tension in the room, Feng Xinyi spoke first "Um, Master Yuan... Shi'er has been saying that you are her Master."

Ming Yuelin flared up and replied "She is lying... in this world, I am Master's first disciple."

In this world...

Hong Shi's gaze condensed and she gave a nod "True.. in this world, you might be his first disciple."

Ming Yuelin's lips twitched "Not might be.. I AM.. I am his first disciple and I am with him since the day I became his disciple and he only accepted two more disciples after that."

"Xue Hua and Long Yue... these two."

"We know you are lying..."

Hong Shi glimpsed at Zhang Yuan and spoke "I see... he never accepted me as his disciple."

Huh?

-_-

They all looked at her blankly...

The hell is this woman saying?

Ming Yuelin stood up from her seat "Master I think this bitch has some screws loose on her head..."

"One time she says you are her master, but now she is saying.. you didn't accept her as disciple."

"She is just wasting our time, let's leave."
