Grandmaster smiled, a very satisfied smile. He bent down and pulled Tang San up. "Silly boy, why would you kowtow when taking a master? Don't you know that is a rite reserved only for monarchs and parents? A bow is enough."
Soul Land's customs were clearly different from those of Tang San's first life, but Tang San did not feel his courtesy was excessive. He said solemnly, "A teacher for a day is a father for life. You deserve my kneeling salute."
Grandmaster looked at Tang San with emotion. "A teacher for a day is a father for life. Good, good. It seems I really didn't choose wrong."
Then Grandmaster turned his gaze to Mo Bai at the side.
"..."
Mo Bai pretended not to see it. Wanted him to kneel and bow? Impossible!
Seeing this, Grandmaster's brows knitted slightly. Although Mo Bai refused to kneel and kowtow like Tang San, it was not anything serious.
He should not have demanded it either, but with Tang San as a comparison, Grandmaster naturally found Tang San more pleasing to the eye!
Moreover, Tang San was obviously much smarter too. He knew to be more cautious and had not agreed to become his student right from the start.
"Looking at it this way, my guess was not wrong. You really are both Twin Spirits!"
However, Grandmaster did not dwell on it. Instead, he looked at Tang San and Mo Bai and smiled.
Tang San's earlier reaction was clearly because he had been stunned by Grandmaster's knowledge and was convinced in both heart and mouth.
He must also have guessed correctly, which was why that scene of kowtowing to take him as master had just happened!
"Yes, teacher!"
Tang San glanced at Mo Bai beside him, then nodded.
To be honest, knowing that Mo Bai also had the Blue Silver Grass spirit and was also Innate Full Soul Power, Tang San was quite astonished. There was actually someone the same as him!
Hearing Tang San admit it, Grandmaster's fists behind his back clenched slightly, and then he turned to look at Mo Bai.
"Teacher, I'm not Twin Spirits. I only have one spirit!"
Seeing Grandmaster look over, Mo Bai shook his head and told the truth.
"What? That's impossible!"
When Grandmaster heard this, he cried out at once, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Then Grandmaster seemed to think of something and gave Mo Bai an approving look. "You want to hide your strength, don't you? Hiding your strength is a good thing, but there's no need to hide it from your teacher!"
"No, I really am not Twin Spirits!"
Mo Bai looked into Grandmaster's eyes and shook his head again frankly.
"Impossible. My theory cannot be wrong!"
"Summon your spirit. Let me take a look!"
Grandmaster shook his head when he heard this, then asked Mo Bai to summon his spirit for him to see.
He wanted to see whether Mo Bai's spirit had mutated. If it had not, then he was definitely Twin Spirits; it was just that Mo Bai did not want to admit it.
"Blue silver has spirit, living on without end!"
Hearing Grandmaster's words, Mo Bai had no reason to refuse, so he reached out and summoned his spirit.
An utterly ordinary Blue Silver Grass spirit then appeared in the palm of Mo Bai's right hand.
"This is an ordinary Blue Silver Grass spirit. It hasn't mutated!"
"An ordinary Blue Silver Grass spirit. Innate Full Soul Power is not something an ordinary Blue Silver Grass spirit can match. Mo Bai, if you regard me as your teacher, then you should not hide anything from me!"
Grandmaster carefully examined Mo Bai's spirit, then made his judgment.
"And I have requirements for my students as well. At the very least, they must be honest with their teacher. Only then can I better train your spirits!"
After that, Grandmaster looked at Mo Bai and said this with a solemn expression.
Clearly, Grandmaster wanted to use these words to make Mo Bai tell the truth instead of continuing to hide it from him.
"But I really only have one spirit. I'm not some Twin Spirits!"
Mo Bai was speechless. If he had gotten it wrong, then he had gotten it wrong. Did he have to force Mo Bai to admit it?
By now, Mo Bai already had a premonition that his wish to learn knowledge from Grandmaster might be dashed!
Sure enough, after hearing that he still refused to admit he had Twin Spirits, Grandmaster seemed to grow angry too. "In that case, you don't need to call me teacher. A student like you, I won't accept!"
"Then forget it. A teacher like you, I don't want either!"
"You're clearly the one who's wrong, yet you insist on pinning it on me!"
Mo Bai shot right back at him.
"You..."
Hearing Mo Bai's words, Grandmaster's eyes filled with utter disappointment. He had not expected Mo Bai to distrust him so much.
"Let's go. I'll take you to register first!"
With a dark face, Grandmaster turned and left at once.
Since the words had already been spoken, he could not possibly take them back. Then he would just accept Tang San as his only disciple.
Although losing Mo Bai as a student was somewhat regrettable, Grandmaster felt that a student who did not believe him truly could not be taken in.
He was already like this at the very beginning. In the future, he definitely would not be an obedient student either, so he truly was not suitable for Grandmaster to teach.
His student had to be able to listen to his theories and acknowledge them!
"Tang San, register here yourself. These teachers will tell you what to do!" "I'll leave first. I will come find you later!"
After bringing Tang San and Mo Bai to Notting Academy's registration office, Grandmaster left directly.
Throughout the whole process, he did not speak to Mo Bai again. Clearly, what he had said earlier was serious. He would no longer accept Mo Bai as his student.
"Yes, teacher!"
Tang San answered respectfully.
Tch~
Mo Bai secretly clicked his tongue at this and did not take it to heart.
Without Butcher Zhang, did that mean he could not buy pork?
As for knowledge about this world, if he could not obtain it from Grandmaster, obtaining it elsewhere would be the same!
"Young man, you call Grandmaster teacher? He is not a teacher of our academy!"
The Academy Director in charge of registration could not help speaking when he heard Tang San's words.
"But he is my teacher!" Tang San said.
"You took Grandmaster as your master?"
The Academy Director was surprised, but he shook his head and said nothing. He picked up Tang San's and Mo Bai's certificates and began looking them over.
"You two are actually both Innate Full Soul Power?"
"And your spirits are both Blue Silver Grass? What a pity!"
The Academy Director was first shocked, then looked full of regret.
"These are your things, issued by the academy free of charge. You will live in Room Seven of the dormitory building. The teacher in charge there will arrange your work as Work-study students. Go on!"
After completing Mo Bai's and Tang San's registration, he directly issued each of them a set of Notting Academy uniforms.
After that, Mo Bai and Tang San headed toward the dormitory building together.
"You really aren't Twin Spirits?"
On the way, Tang San could not help asking Mo Bai.
"No. I really only have one spirit!" Mo Bai shook his head and did not ask Tang San whether he was.
Because he knew there was no need to ask at all.
When Tang San heard this, he immediately fell silent.
He did not know whether what Mo Bai said was true or false, but he did know that Mo Bai now definitely knew he was Twin Spirits!
