Yun Qi stared dumbfounded at the Master, who had fainted from anger. He had been utterly stunned by the sight. Was this the charm of tea artistry? Xiao Wu saw Yun Qi standing there in a daze and assumed he was still frightened by the Master's loud roar. She immediately hugged his arm and said softly:
"Brother, it's okay. Let's not bother with this liar!"
Yun Qi hurriedly pretended to wipe his eyes a few times, indicating that he was fine. Pulling Xiao Wu along, he went to Director Su. Since Xiao Wu was even more talented, Director Su quickly adjusted his thoughts and said that everything would be arranged properly for her.
After all, geniuses were hard to come by. Two had appeared at once. As long as they graduated successfully from Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy, who knew how many benefits they would bring to the academy?
Hearing this, Yun Qi repeatedly thanked him and asked Director Su to convey his apologies once the Master woke up. After saying that, Yun Qi took Xiao Wu back to their room.
Director Su held his forehead with one hand. Having lived so long, how could he fail to see that Yun Qi's fake crying and grievance had been deliberate? After angering Yu Xiaogang into fainting, he immediately wanted Director Su to convey his apology. He had said both the good and bad things himself.
Still, there was one good thing about it. Only someone with such a temperament could go farther on this dangerous continent. After all, only a genius who rose to prominence was truly a genius.
Watching Yun Qi and Xiao Wu's retreating figures, Director Su's eyes were filled with appreciation. He also did not want a genius to become someone else's experimental tool.
After returning to the room and claiming the system reward, Yun Qi found that the ring was a dark purple crescent-shaped ring. It was quite attractive! With a thought, he discovered that this Spatial Soul Tool had a capacity of 1,000 cubic meters.
After casually putting it on, Yun Qi pulled Xiao Wu along to arrange the room! The bed was rather large, so there was no need to push beds together like in the original story. However, all the bedding had rabbit and carrot patterns printed on it, and the various supplies were all pink.
Don't be fooled by Yun Qi's look of refusal when they had chosen the items earlier. Now that the room had been decorated in soft, pink colors, his girly heart was instantly awakened. This was just too cute!
Xiao Wu looked at Yun Qi's expressionless face and called out "Older Brother" several times. Yun Qi did not say anything, but his heart had already melted!
"Xiao Wu, it's getting late. Wash up and go to bed early. We'll go around the city tomorrow. Classes start the day after tomorrow!"
"Okay, but don't peek!"
Yun Qi replied irritably:
"What's there to see? Go on. I need to wash up too. We've been walking all day!"
Before long, after washing up, the two playfully messed around before lying down together on the bed and pulling up the blankets. They wished each other good night.
"Good night, Xiao Wu."
"Good night, Brother!"
The next day, as soon as dawn broke, Yun Qi discovered before even opening his eyes that Xiao Wu slept very restlessly. Her whole body had turned toward him, with her arm and thigh draped over him, and a glistening thread of drool at the corner of her mouth.
Yun Qi watched Xiao Wu with great interest and did not wake her. Soon, Xiao Wu slowly awoke from her dreams. Seeing her improper sleeping posture, she hurriedly wiped the drool from her mouth. Her little face reddened, but she pretended to be carefree as she said:
"What, were you mesmerized by me? You didn't even wake me!"
Yun Qi did not expose the girl's little act. Smiling, he said good morning and got out of bed. Seeing Yun Qi get up, Xiao Wu did not linger either. With a Carp Jump, she swiftly got dressed. She had not forgotten that formal classes began tomorrow. She had to hurry and have fun today. Having just arrived in human society, everything was novel to her!
"Xiao San, do you also really want to become a Spirit Master?"
Tang San froze for a moment, somewhat confused as to why his father suddenly asked this after so much time had passed since his Martial Soul Awakening.
"It's okay, Dad. Becoming a blacksmith like you would be nice too. I could support myself that way. Besides, didn't you promise last time to teach me how to make farm tools?"
Tang Hao opened his eyes and sat up from the bed. Looking at Tang San, an inexplicably cold aura leaked out from him, only for his eyes to then carry a trace of self-mockery.
"Spirit Master? What use is a Spirit Master? Even the strongest Spirit Master, the strongest Martial Soul, is nothing but trash."
Tang Hao became extremely agitated. His body would not stop trembling, and even a glimmer of moisture appeared at the corner of his eyes.
Tang San hurried over and held Tang Hao's fist.
"It's okay, Dad. I'll always stay by your side."
Tang Hao had been paying close attention to Tang San ever since Tang San's Martial Soul Awakening. After seeing that Tang San had awakened Blue Silver Grass, he stopped paying attention. Tang Hao took a deep breath and calmed his thoughts.
"Release your Martial Soul and let me see it."
Tang San nodded. The Mysterious Heaven Skill circulated within him, and he felt his Soul Power merge with it. In an instant, a small blade of grass and a little hammer appeared in Tang San's left and right hands respectively!
Tang Hao stared blankly at his son before him. In the next moment, he made up his mind! He directly took Tang San's hand and headed toward Nuoding City, speaking as they walked.
"Brother, do you think this hair accessory looks good?"
Yun Qi looked at the rabbit hair accessory pinned in Xiao Wu's smooth black hair and smiled.
"Xiao Wu looks really good!"
"What? I asked you to look at the hair accessory. Why are you praising me?"
Xiao Wu clasped her hands behind her back, lowered her head, and muttered softly. She was a little shy.
"Haha, I'm only telling the truth!"
Yun Qi smiled at the girl before him, took the still-shy Xiao Wu's hand, and headed straight for the next place they planned to visit.
Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy.
The Master had already slowly awakened. Thinking about how his lifelong good name had suddenly been ruined by that kid, and how the genius disciple he had planned to accept had slipped away, his thoughts grew increasingly chaotic. A faint glimmer flashed through his eyes.
Suddenly, bang, bang, bang—three knocks sounded at the door.
The Master frowned. Could it be some blind fool coming to mock him now?
"Who is it?" The Master got out of bed, his tone far from pleasant!
The door opened, and a tall figure wearing a simple gray robe stood there. His eyes were murky, and a strong alcoholic odor emanated from his body! Beside him stood a child in hemp clothes. The child looked underdeveloped, thin and frail.
"Hello, Master."
Tang Hao's voice was low and slightly hoarse.
The moment the man entered, Yu Xiaogang felt the Soul Power throughout his body become difficult to circulate. He even found it hard to breathe!
Yu Xiaogang slowly spoke, his voice filled with confusion and fear.
"May I ask who you are, Your Excellency?"
Tang Hao waved his hand, signaling for Tang San to wait outside first.
After Tang San went out, he dearly wanted to know what his father was discussing inside, but in the end, he did not act.
After quite a while, the two finally came out of the room. Tang Hao looked at his son, and a faint trace of reluctance showed in his expression.
"Xiao San, from now on, you will study under the Master. Dad has something to take care of. Study well, and remember what I told you on the way here."
Tang San understood. On the road, Tang Hao had told him much common knowledge and entrusted him with some matters. He had also informed him that he would be studying in Nuoding City from now on.
However, Tang San still looked reluctant, his voice carrying a sob.
"Dad, can't you stay?"
"When this semester ends, I'll come pick you up."
Tang Hao casually came up with an excuse before turning and leaving.
Hearing Tang Hao's reason, Tang San's expression improved somewhat. Yu Xiaogang, meanwhile, looked at Tang San as though he were an unparalleled treasure.
"Xiao San, from now on, I am your teacher. I will make you exceptionally outstanding."
On the way here, his dad had also told Tang San some things about the Master. So Tang San did not hesitate. He immediately bowed and took him as his teacher!
Not far away, Yun Qi and Xiao Wu had just returned from shopping. Yun Qi had been about to go back to his room when he saw the famous Douluo scene in the corridor outside!
Tang San still came, and he still took Yu Xiaogang as his teacher. Fate really is strange.
I should interfere with Tang San's apprenticeship and provoke Yu Xiaogang again!
(Task: Provoke Yu Xiaogang again and disgust Tang San.) (Reward: Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill and one year of cultivation progress) Accept: Yes/No
Yun Qi silently chose yes.
Very soon, Yun Qi and Xiao Wu passed by Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, then stopped.
Yun Qi spoke to Yu Xiaogang with an apologetic expression:
"Thief—no, Master, I'm sorry. Yesterday, I said nonsense in a moment of urgency!"
He then turned to Tang San and said:
"Huh, Tang San, you're here to enroll too! Why are you kneeling on the floor? Hurry up and get up!"
As he spoke, he helped Tang San, who was halfway through taking a teacher, to his feet. Seeing Tang San staring at Xiao Wu, Yun Qi directly stepped in front of Tang San and blocked his view.
"The floor is pretty cold. Don't fall next time. I have something to do, so I'll be going now!"
After saying that, he did not even look at Yu Xiaogang, who was about to explode. He turned around, took out his key, opened the door to the room next door, and then slammed it shut!
"Claim!"
This was a huge profit! He finally had a cultivation technique. For six years, whenever Yun Qi saw Tang San, Tang San would run to the mountaintop at dawn to cultivate, making Yun Qi incredibly envious. He could not learn it, nor could he understand it just by watching, so Yun Qi had done Broadcast Exercises for six years! Now he had a cultivation technique and had even stolen one year of Tang San's cultivation progress! His Soul Power had risen by more than one level too!
Inside the room, Xiao Wu asked Yun Qi with great confusion:
"Brother, why did you apologize to that kind of thief?"
Yun Qi smiled and shook his head.
"Xiao Wu, with a normal apology, even if the person involved does not accept it, they will still feel a little better inside. But did that so-called Master look like he felt better just now?"
"So you did it on purpose?"
"Of course. Who told him to want to use our Xiao Wu to prove his bullshit theory!"
Xiao Wu nodded, moved.
"What about that Tang San? Do you know him? He kept staring at me just now!"
"He's from the same village. We usually didn't talk much. He's rather solitary and often goes into the mountains to hunt rabbits to eat."
At the mention of rabbits, Xiao Wu immediately frowned.
"Bunnies are so cute. Why eat bunnies?"
Outside the room, Tang San was still blankly watching Xiao Wu, who had just walked past hand in hand with Yun Qi. It felt as though something was missing from his heart. He scratched his head but could not figure out what was missing. He only felt that the girl was beautiful! Then he suddenly felt empty. A portion of the Soul Power in his body was gone, and part of his Mysterious Heaven Skill progress had disappeared too! Unable to find the reason, he decided that taking a teacher was more important. He would slowly investigate the reason later!
With another thud, he once again took a teacher. This time, without Yun Qi's interruption, the ceremony was completed smoothly.
Tang San looked at his teacher, who was still fuming, with great confusion.
"Teacher, do you know Yun Qi and the girl beside him?"
Seeing his beloved disciple ask, Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath. His gaze turned sinister before he slowly answered:
"That boy slandered my theories yesterday. As for that girl called Xiao Wu, I wanted to accept her as my disciple, but he refused me. Yesterday, he angered me into fainting and made countless people laugh at me!"
Tang San acted only according to the set of principles in his heart from his previous life, so he firmly believed Yu Xiaogang's words! Although he had known Yun Qi for six years, they had little friendship. Naturally, he sided with Yu Xiaogang! Moreover, Xiao Wu following beside Yun Qi made his heart ache, and Yun Qi had even slandered his teacher. Yun Qi has already earned the right to die!
