Watching the little girl's performance, Su Mu was full of suspicion.
Could he really trust what she said?
Was she sure she was not joking?
If she truly believed in him that much, she might as well contribute two points of Admiration Value. That would be much more practical!
"Uncle, can you stop dwelling on such trivial things? You still haven't answered the question I asked you just now."
Uncle was so annoying. All he did all day was change the subject. Wasn't he obviously trying to bully her?
She trusted Uncle completely. How could he doubt her?
Heh heh...
"I do not want to say too much. You only need to know one thing: your master is very strong. Not only can I protect you, but I can also teach you a few things.
"As long as you behave well in the future and do not make me angry, I definitely will not hold back on teaching you what you should learn!"
Su Mu had no other demands. He only hoped his Little Disciple could be a little more obedient, talk a little less, and work a little harder in her cultivation.
That was not asking too much, was it?
He would have to have a proper talk with her later!
She was so wild and unruly all day long. How did she resemble a girl at all?
"Uncle, am I not obedient enough?"
Xiao Yue felt terribly wronged. She lowered her head, pressed her feet together, and looked as though tears would spill from her eyes the next second.
"Do I even need to tell you whether you are obedient? As long as you listen properly from now on, you will not be lacking Martial Skills when the time comes!"
She put on that pitiful look all day long. He could neither hit her nor scold her, yet she still had the nerve to call herself obedient?
Su Mu could not even be bothered to talk about her!
Having gotten the answer she wanted, Xiao Yue's expression immediately changed, and her little face bloomed with a dazzling smile.
Where were those tears now?
The little girl was far too cunning!
She knew he could not stand that innocent expression of hers!
"You have already seen my strength, and you must have sensed something from the move I used just now, right?
"If you want to learn Martial Skills from me in the future, it will not be an easy task. Do not give up halfway through!"
Su Mu gave his Little Disciple a warning at this point.
Martial Skills might be powerful, but they could not be learned by doing nothing. She had better not complain about hardship and exhaustion when the time came!
"Uncle, what a joke."
Xiao Yue did not take it seriously at all!
Was it not just Martial Skill training? What was so difficult about that?
"I hope you remember what you said!"
Su Mu did not say any more. He had already explained everything he needed to. How his Little Disciple would perform in the future would depend on what she did.
Hopefully, she would not disappoint him!
As for the little girl's other questions, Su Mu did not want to explain them clearly because he felt they would damage his image.
For example, the matter of the puppet.
Su Mu even suspected that this had been deliberately designed by the system.
Every time he used the puppet, it actually required energy?
And one of the sources of that energy was naturally Admiration Value!
If the little girl had not contributed one point of Admiration Value earlier, he might not even have been able to use it to return. That would have been truly unlucky!
Damn it!
Why had the system not even notified him about something like this?
Besides that, there was another way to use the puppet: cultivating on his own!
The power he cultivated himself could also be converted into energy, allowing him to control and use the puppet.
However, depending on his own strength, the length of time he could use the puppet was also different!
In the past, Su Mu had not really taken the Boundless Chaos Art seriously. He had not even paid much attention to it, because he had always felt that nothing could compare to—
Now, it seemed he could not keep ignoring it!
If he used Admiration Value as energy, who could afford that?
One point of Admiration Value could not even sustain ten minutes of use. How could that possibly be enough for him?
If not for that, why would Su Mu have left the puppet so early and moved his body onto the bracelet?
Would it not have been great to stay outside longer and show off a little more?
Talking about it only brought tears!
He should cultivate properly from now on!
Otherwise, if he could not even use the puppet in the future, how would he protect his disciple?
Although this disciple was somewhat mischievous, Su Mu would never allow anyone to bully her!!!
"Uncle, do you know what this Broken Sword is actually used for?"
As soon as she returned home, Xiao Yue could not wait to take out the Broken Sword she had bought and place it on the table.
Xiao Yue turned the Broken Sword over and over for more than ten minutes, yet she still could not find anything unusual about it.
The only special thing about it was perhaps that the material of the Broken Sword was somewhat different.
But so what?
It was already a broken sword. What else could it do?
Besides Xiao Yue, Su Mu also carefully examined the Broken Sword.
However, he could not see anything different about it either.
Who knew what secret this Broken Sword was hiding?
"Honestly, I really cannot see what use this lousy sword has.
"I truly do not understand why this sword is so appealing to you.
"How about you take another look?"
Should she not deal with something she had bought herself?
Since his Little Disciple thought it was unusual, she could slowly study it herself. In any case, he could not see anything different about it.
In any case, Su Mu did not want to keep dwelling on it...
Blood Drop Recognition
"Uncle, you really cannot see the mystery of this sword?"
Xiao Yue was a little discouraged.
Whether she threw the sword into water or roasted it over a fire, none of it did a damn thing.
What exactly was going on with this lousy sword?
Xiao Yue had tried nearly everything she could think of, yet she still could not uncover the secret within the sword.
After all that, apart from some rust falling off the sword, there had not been any changes at all.
To prevent any other mishaps, Xiao Yue had specifically collected the rust.
Just in case the rust was useful too!
This was exhausting!!!
Su Mu had watched from the side while Xiao Yue experimented just now, but he truly could not see what use this lousy sword had.
His lack of insight was his own fault!!!
"System, do you have a solution?"
When in doubt, ask the system!
The system did not waste words. It merely showed everything through its actions.
For some reason, the system seemed much colder lately. In short, it rarely spoke.
If its functions had not remained completely unchanged, Su Mu would have suspected that the system was broken.
Even so, it caused Su Mu some trouble.
It was ultimately not as convenient to use as before!
This time, the system likewise gave Su Mu many options.
"Trace Back Technique: ..."
"Karma Curse of All Things: ..."
"Time Reversal: ..."
Most of the methods offered by the system involved tracing things back to their origins. They all looked incredibly impressive, but their prices were astronomical as well!
Su Mu simply could not afford those techniques. Even the one-time talismans were beyond his means.
To prevent a repeat of what had happened last time, Su Mu read through every option from beginning to end, yet still found nothing.
So the system was not omnipotent after all!
The system's demands were far too high for a poor bastard like him!?!
