Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 2145

The birthday gift signified status and dignity. For instance, even though Levi and Heath weren't on friendly terms with the Banes, the gifts they presented were dignified. It was the first time they met someone like Matthew, who bought something from a dark alley and used them as a birthday gift.

Young lad, prepare to suffer the wreath of Old Mr. Bane!

The next second, everyone couldn't help but look forward to seeing Matthew getting told off by Old Mr. Bane.

Just then, Matthew slowly stood up amongst the crowd. While everyone watched gleefully, he straightened his clothes and adjusted his posture before bowing slowly. "Yes, Master."

What?!

After he said that, everyone's eyes grew as big as golf balls, and some even jerked upright. All of them had heard him address Old Mr. Bane as 'Master'.

Before they could register what was happening, Old Mr. Bane nodded and said in a serious tone, "Come forward, Matthew."

When the words left his lips, Matthew's heart skipped a beat. Judging from the way Old Mr. Bane carried himself, he reckoned that he wanted to formally accept him as a disciple now. Unfortunately, he was busy with cultivation and training recently, and the only time he could free up was used to prepare Marissa's birthday presents, so he didn't have time to prepare the customary emolument for the rites. Now that things had come to this point, he could only bite the bullet and walk forward. "Here I am, Master," he said, kneeling with one knee on the floor.

"Get the ruler!" Old Mr. Bane said and reached out his hand. Then, someone next to him hurriedly placed a wooden ruler with the word 'Bane' carved on it onto his outstretched hand.

"By joining me as my last disciple, it is necessary for you to inherit the martial arts and spirit of the Banes and bring glory to the name. Herewith, I have three admonitions as your teacher. One, always place kindness first, never do evil, and have no evil thoughts," he said and tapped the ruler on Matthew's left shoulder heavily. "Two, abstain from pride, refrain from complacency, and stay true to your heart." The second tap landed on his right shoulder. "Three, respect your teacher and elders, and love the young." Finally, the last tap fell on his back.
