Everyone chuckled at Tang San's excuse.
Seeing that they were about to give him another vicious dose of care, Tang San thought fast in desperation. He rushed forward in a few quick strides, clung to Qin Jiuxiao's leg, and wept with heartfelt sincerity.
"Young Master Qin! I actually came to learn from you!"
"Young Master Qin, you're the most monstrous genius I've ever seen. No one I've met can compare to you. That's why I've been staying nearby—I wanted to learn how you cultivate!"
The corners of Tang San's mouth trembled slightly. For the Immortal Herbs, he was throwing caution to the wind.
But he wasn't actually lying. Qin Jiuxiao really was the most monstrous genius he had ever seen. No one could compare to him.
Watching Tang San say things he clearly didn't mean, Qin Jiuxiao curled his lips.
Well, well. Who would have thought the mighty God King Tang would see a day like this, clinging to my leg? He's probably still thinking that I've already stepped onto the path to death.
Under Qin Jiuxiao's teasing gaze, even Tang San felt his cheeks burn.
He was a proud outer disciple of the Tang Sect. Across his previous life and this one, he had lived for decades. When had he ever humbled himself to beg like this?
But for those Immortal Herbs, he was willing to risk it all.
As long as he could obtain the Immortal Herbs and improve his strength, what did today's humiliation matter?
One day, he would collect this debt with interest!
The other girls all looked at him with contempt.
Xiao Wu curled her lips, her eyes filled with disgust.
*This guy really has a thick skin. First he eavesdrops outside the window, then claims he was just passing by when he gets caught.
