A New Master?

Huh? Disgust? What does that have to do with anything? Wu Yang Jin was very confused. He didn't know why the two of them were so sensitive, and how Gu Yue even noticed the smell? Besides, what smell did Mu Xi have?

"Wait, this is for the two of you. I brought it especially for you two, and it has all your favorite parts!" Wu Yang Jin quickly said, taking out the food as a late-night snack.

"Hmm? Was it on purpose? Okay then." Hu Meier said happily as she took it.

"Deliberately? Hmph, fine, since Yang Jin brought it on purpose, I won't pursue it further," Gu Yue said after taking it.

Then, Xie Xie's laughter was suddenly heard.

"Hey, Xie Xie, are you watching the show?" Wu Yang Jin asked with a smile.

"Hey? No, big brother! Stop! Don't hit me!" Xie Xie hurriedly dodged the blows and said.

"Alright, this is for you. I'll take it to my brother and then go to sleep," Wu Yang Jin said.

"Oh, okay, thanks, Yang Jin."

Afterwards, Wu Yang Jin delivered the food to Wu Zhangkong and then returned to his room. Tang Wu Lin finished eating shortly afterward, and the next day arrived quickly, at the end of the school day.

"Hey, Wulin, wanna take on a mission?" Wu Yang Jin asked.

"Great, it just so happens that I need to start saving money again soon," Tang Wu Lin replied.

"Beep, beep, beep." The Soul Guidance Communicator rang. Tang Wu Lin had turned it off while forging, and the communication came in as soon as he turned it on.

"Teacher Mang Tian," Tang Wu Lin greeted respectfully.

"If you have time now, come to the Forging Master Association." Mang Tian's deep voice rang out.

"I was just about to head over, teacher. Are you at the association?" Tang Wu Lin said with delight. He hadn't seen Mang Tian for several days.

"Okay, come on over. I'll be waiting for you in the president's office." For some reason, Tang Wu Lin could vaguely detect a hint of loneliness in Mang Tian's voice.

"What's wrong?" Wu Yang Jin asked.

"I feel like the teacher is a little unhappy, and seems a bit down," Tang Wu Lin said.

"Hmm? That's strange. We'll have to improvise then," Wu Yang Jin said.

After that, the two of them didn't linger and quickly headed to Mu Chen's office.

Inside Mu Chen's office, only Mu Chen and Mang Tian were sitting facing each other. Mu Chen's expression was calm, while Mang Tian's expression seemed somewhat unhappy and disappointed.

"Ah, why is the atmosphere so heavy?" Wu Yang Jin thought.

Suddenly, Mang Heaven's Eye noticed Wu Yang Jin and Tang Wu Lin. He glanced at the two children, said nothing, and gestured for them to come to his side.

"Yang Jin and Wulin, I've called you here today because there's something I need to discuss," Mang Tian said in a deep voice.

"Teacher, please speak." x2

"Alright, to be honest, I took you two as my apprentices because of Wulin's father. At that time, you were both too young. But later I discovered that you truly have talent and strength, and both of you possess innate divine power. You brought me different feelings and expectations. Your efforts, perseverance, and hard work moved me! As your teacher, I have indeed been very responsible in laying a solid foundation for your training," Mang Tian said.

Actually, after hearing this, Wu Yang Jin roughly understood what was going on.

"To be honest, I've had one dream in my life: to become a master craftsman. But unfortunately, fate has played a cruel trick on me, or something else entirely. Because my Martial Soul talent isn't good enough, and I went astray in my early cultivation, I can only ever reach the Sixth-Level Forging Master. But you two are different; you're both already Third-Level Forging Master, and the guild leader has said that you actually have the talent to reach the fourth grade long ago, but you've been holding back," Mang Tian said.

"These words give me even more hope that you two can become master craftsmen. Now I dare to say, and I'm very confident, that you two are the most likely to reach that level! Therefore, your plans for forging now and in the future must be better and more systematic. As for my own level, I've only just reached the Spirit Forging. I can no longer teach you anything. So, I hope that for my sake and for your own, you two will take President Mu Chen as your master here and continue to learn forging from him," Mang Tian added.

"As you all know, President Mu Chen is a top-tier figure in the Federation's forging industry. So, children, you should change your master. Only by following the president will you go further," Mang Tian said.

Mang Tian actually emphasized this last sentence a bit. It wasn't that he resented Mu Chen. Although he had some selfish motives, he had also developed feelings for the two children after spending so much time together.

Moreover, one child has no parents, and the other's parents have disappeared, leaving only himself. Of course, he wants to take care of both children and see how he can help.

However, this wasn't the first time Mu Chen Mang Tian every time that this day would eventually come, and now was the time to relinquish his position as master.

"Alright, children, you should..." Mang Tian was about to say.

"Teacher! No! A teacher for a day is a father for life, that's what my father told me. Teacher, you can't abandon me!" Tang Wu Lin said, then knelt down in front of Mang Tian with a thud and bowed his head.

"You...you child!" Mang Tian said.

"Teacher, I can't either!" Wu Yang Jin said, and then knelt down as well.

"How could you be like this, child!" Mang Tian exclaimed in surprise.

"Teacher, just as a teacher for a day is a father for life, I have no parents, and you have done your best to take care of me. After my uncle and aunt went missing, you also cared about Wulin a lot. Now, my uncle and aunt are gone, Na'er is gone, and now I only have you! I know what you mean by having you and Wulin here. But please forgive me for making a request, that is, please have you and Guild Master Mu Chen serve as Wulin and my mentors together, otherwise I will not agree! It is not that I disrespect you or the Guild Master, but this way I can stop forging!" Wu Yang Jin said solemnly.

"You! You silly child, how could you..." Mang Tian hesitated, realizing that he also wanted to keep the two children.

"Hahaha! Silly children, you two are really funny! But Yang Jin, you've mentioned what I wanted to say." Mu Chen finally said with a smile.

"Huh? President, you mean...!" Mang Tian was so surprised he didn't know what to say.

Indeed, Mang Tian understood what Mu Chen meant, but he was somewhat surprised that the other party actually intended to do so.
