CHAPTER 20 - TAKING A DISCIPLE
Back in her room, Hong Ying felt her body getting hotter, and it seemed like something was oozing out of her pores, accompanied by a foul smell.
Rushing to the bathroom, she peeled off her evening gown, revealing her mature and stunning figure. But right now, admiring herself was the last thing on her mind. Her body was oozing a black, sticky liquid.
Downstairs, people were still debating the authenticity of the marrow-cleansing pill. Some tried to cozy up to Wang Lin, but he only responded with a polite smile and remained silent.
Half an hour later, Hong Ying reappeared, donning a new evening gown and descending from the second floor. She was utterly transformed!

She moved with a surreal, ethereal grace like a celestial being had come to Earth. People couldn't help but stare. Even her skin seemed more radiant and delicate than before.
"Is this real?"
"Could it be a marrow-cleansing pill?"
"How could so much change happen in just half an hour?" The crowd was amazed and incredulous.
But it was Hong Ying who felt it the most profoundly. She was now in awe of Wang Lin, considering him a god. Just one pill had dramatically changed her—something she doubted anyone else could achieve.
"Mr. Wang, thank you!" Hong Ying sincerely said, "Could I follow you and learn from you? I don't mind being just a servant..."
When Hong Ying spoke, jaws dropped. The little granddaughter that Grandpa Hong adored most just volunteered to be a man's maid? If this got out, no one would believe it. But it happened!

Wang Lin was equally surprised. He was already considering taking her on as a student, but she beat him to the punch. This saved him some trouble, so he said, "You don't have to be my maid, but I can take you on as my apprentice."
"Master, please accept my respect!" When Hong Ying heard he'd accept her as an apprentice, she kneeled and kowtowed three times, not caring about her image. This left the onlookers stunned.
Wang Lin accepted gracefully, helped her up, and announced, "From now on, you're my apprentice. I'll teach you medicine and martial arts and make you a person who stands at the top of the world."
"Thank you, Master!" Hong Ying shouted, thrilled. Just the power of the cleansing pill he gave her made her trust his words entirely.
As for Yang Yang and Qin Xue, they were too stunned to think. With Wang Lin as Hong Ying's master, getting their revenge got much more challenging. Although the Yang family was a significant clan, they couldn't hold a candle to the Hong family.
If the Hong family wanted the Yang family gone from Luo City, a single word from them would send countless other families scrambling to divide the Yang assets. At this point, Yang Yang was terrified. He quietly retreated with Qin Xue, blending into the crowd and exiting. No one even noticed; they were too focused on trying to get along with Wang Lin.

"Master, my grandpa is upstairs. Let's go see him," Hong Ying said, pulling Wang Lin toward the staircase. As they arrived, she called out, "Bro, can you entertain our guests? I'll be right back."
Up on the third floor of the villa, was not just the Hong family. There were also two blond, blue-eyed foreigners and two middle-aged men engaged in a heated debate.
One of the men said, "Mr. Hong, we can't delay with your grandson's illness. Listen to me and send him abroad for treatment with the best medical team."
"Yeah, Mr. Hong," chimed in another. "Owen's team is the world's best; they can cure your grandson's strange illness."
