You Want Me to Instruct You?

Hearing Lin Tian's words, Zhao Gongming's mouth twitched. He hurriedly said to Lin Tian,

"Forget it, forget it!"

"Senior, a cup of tea will do. There's no need for a meal."

It was no wonder Zhao Gongming reacted this way.

From what the senior had just said,

he wanted to catch a few more dragons.

That would be disastrous.

If he caught a few more, the Dragon Clan's princes would be wiped out.

The Dragon Clan would be furious!

And if the Dragon Clan found out they had eaten dragon meat,

it would surely make an enemy of the Dragon Clan for the Interception Sect!

Although the Dragon Clan had withdrawn from the world after the great war between the three clans,

it was still a super clan.

Its foundations were formidable and could not be underestimated!

The senior was powerful, so the Dragon Clan surely wouldn't dare provoke him.

But Zhao Gongming and the others were only second-generation disciples of the Interception Sect.

With the Investiture of the Gods Calamity underway, they couldn't afford to make enemies!

As soon as Zhao Gongming finished speaking,

Yunxiao, who stood to one side, hurried forward and cupped her hands.

"Senior, let's forget about the meal. None of us juniors are hungry."

"We came mainly to ask you a question, Senior."

"We hope you can offer us some guidance."

Hearing this,

Lin Tian's steps faltered.

He turned back in surprise and looked at Yunxiao.

"What? You want me to instruct you?"

Seeing Lin Tian react so strongly, the Three Xiaos were taken aback.

They instinctively glanced at Zhao Gongming.

They seemed not to have expected Lin Tian to be so surprised.

Zhao Gongming coughed, then hurried forward and cupped his hands.

"Senior, my sisters aren't particularly gifted, and their innate foundations are ordinary."

"They've run into some problems in their usual cultivation."

"They're a little puzzled, so they wanted to ask you for guidance."

Hearing Zhao Gongming's explanation, Lin Tian frowned at once.

He had already found the way Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos addressed him a little strange.

Their constant cries of "Senior" left him baffled.

Lin Tian had reminded them several times, but Zhao Gongming still wouldn't change.

That was one thing.

But now they actually wanted to ask him questions?

He was only a Heavenly Immortal. What could he answer?

At that thought,

Lin Tian couldn't help waving his hand.

"I'm just a country villager, born ordinary. I don't know much about cultivation."

"You won't get much of an answer by asking me."

Hearing Lin Tian's words,

Yunxiao froze.

Is Senior refusing us?

After that thought flashed through Yunxiao's mind, a trace of disappointment immediately welled up in her heart.

Zhao Gongming, standing nearby, hadn't expected Senior Lin Tian to refuse so decisively either.

He thought he had angered the senior by being presumptuous.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Qiongxiao, standing at the very back, curled her little mouth and promptly stuck out her rosy lips.

Several glimmers of tears flickered in her big, bright eyes.

She looked quite pitiful.

Seeing this,

Lin Tian was at a loss for words.

I only said that casually. Why are these fellow Daoists being so dramatic?

All I did was turn you down. Do you have to be so upset?

I'm just an ordinary Heavenly Immortal!

As Lin Tian thought this,

he caught sight of their disappointed expressions out of the corner of his eye.

He couldn't help sighing.

Although Lin Tian didn't understand social conventions,

he could understand why fellow Daoist Gongming and his three sisters were so disappointed.

Their family was probably too poor.

They couldn't afford a teacher, and seeing him living in seclusion here, they had taken him for an expert.

So they hoped he could give them some guidance.

After all, the Investiture of the Gods Calamity was underway.

If they could cultivate,

they would have a little more ability to protect themselves!

Fellow Daoist Gongming was probably thinking the same thing.

That was why he had come to ask Lin Tian for guidance.

But the problem was, Lin Tian didn't have anything to teach them.

Though that was what he thought,

faced with Zhao Gongming's impoverished family, Lin Tian was too embarrassed to refuse again.

Perhaps he could just say a few words?

At that thought, Lin Tian couldn't help sighing.

He put down the fishing rod in his hand.

Then he turned and walked toward the house.

As he walked, he said,

"Very well. Whatever questions you have, go ahead and ask."

"But let me say this first: I may not be able to answer them."
