Yu Xiaogang turned around, the corners of his mouth curling into an imperceptible smile.
Playing hard to get.
In the past, whether facing Bibi Dong or Liu Erlong, this trick of pretending to refuse while actually welcoming had always worked like a charm.
Manipulating a six-year-old brat should be easy, right?
However…
Time ticked by second by second.
A strange silence fell over the scene.
Grandmaster Yu’s hands, clasped behind his back, unconsciously scratched his palms.
His mind was full of questions.
What is going on?
Why hasn’t this kid taken the hint and knelt down to kowtow and become his Disciple?
Was my hint just now not clear enough?
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang was calculating another crucial matter in his mind.
His beloved Disciple Tang San possessed twin spirits, and throughout the history of the entire continent, the only person to successfully overcome the backlash of twin spirits and Cultivate them to the Major Achievement Realm was the current Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong!
Therefore, whether to prove the greatness of his invincible theory to the world or to seize the opportunity to probe Lin Nuo for Bibi Dong’s cultivation secrets, Lin Nuo must become his Disciple!
Tang San, standing to the side, saw his mentor left hanging and in such an awkward position, a trace of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes.
You must know, as a staunch feudal warrior, Tang San had the rules of “Heaven, Earth, Monarch, Parent, Teacher” etched into his bones.
A teacher for a day is a father for life!
He truly respected Yu Xiaogang just like his own father.
Yet, this Lin Nuo before him was so ungrateful, not only disregarding his teacher’s Face but also slapping Tang San’s own Face.
This kid already has a path to death!
Watching this pair of master and Disciple refusing to give up until they achieved their goal, Lin Nuo knew that if this matter wasn’t resolved perfectly, he didn’t know how much they would pester him in the future.
“Grandmaster Yu, just as you said, compared to those second-rate spider-type Spirit Beasts, the one most suitable for my first spirit ring must be a top-tier predatory killer like the Man Faced Demon Spider.”
Lin Nuo’s mouth curled into a meaningful arc, his tone shifting, “Since you vowed to take me as a Disciple, surely you can help me perfectly resolve my future spirit rings.
In that case, Grandmaster Yu, your strength must at least be that of a Spirit Saint, right?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Xiaogang’s feigned profound Face instantly turned beet red.
His lips trembled as he tried to argue, but it was as if his throat had been choked, unable to squeeze out a single word.
“Ah?
No way?
You’re not even a Spirit Saint?” Lin Nuo feigned surprise and raised his volume, his slightly childish, clear voice sounding exceptionally distinct in the quiet library.
“I suppose that makes sense.
In a small place like Nuoding City, a Spirit King should count as an expert.
So, Grandmaster Yu, you couldn’t possibly be less than a Spirit King, right?”
In an instant, Grandmaster felt as if something was blocking his chest, making him feel uncomfortable.
Why does this little brat specifically poke at people’s sore spots?
Wasn’t his halo as the continent’s number one wise man shining enough?
Did he have to bring up such vulgar spirit power Rank?
“Lin Nuo!
This Grandmaster is a wise man who relies on his brain!
Fighting and killing have never been my strong suit!”
Yu Xiaogang shouted, his Face flushed with anxiety as he lost his composure.
To force a recovery of his dignity, he braced himself and squeezed out a sentence,
“If you become my Disciple and truly want to hunt a Man Faced Demon Spider as your first spirit ring, with my connections in the Spirit Master’s world, finding a few experts to help you out is not a problem at all!”
After holding it in for so long, this Grandmaster finally squeezed out such a hollow-sounding statement.
“Oh—” Lin Nuo drew out his tone,
“No way, Grandmaster Yu, you aren’t even a Spirit King?”
“Since you haven’t even reached the Realm of a high-level Spirit Master, I’m very curious.
Where exactly did your so-called ‘invincible theory’ come from?
It couldn’t be that you just flipped through other people’s materials everywhere and cobbled it together by plagiarizing, right?”
Hearing Lin Nuo’s Yin and Yang, yet scathing words that struck at the heart, Yu Xiaogang was ashamed and furious, wishing he could dig a hole with his toes on the spot and crawl into it.
Although perhaps, generally speaking, his theory had borrowed knowledge from others.
But can a scholar’s actions be called plagiarism?
But…
was this kind of thing something that could be said in public?
“You…
you…
you yellow-mouthed brat, you are simply unforgivable!”
“Before you apologize to this Grandmaster, no matter what you say, this Grandmaster will not take you as a Disciple!”
Lies don’t hurt people; the truth is the sharp blade!
Grandmaster’s eyes were completely red, and he was panting like an ox!
The argument here had long attracted the attention of other students in the library, and at this moment, quite a few people were pointing and whispering in his direction.
The completely broken Grandmaster could no longer care about his dignity as a Grandmaster; he violently flicked his sleeves and fled in a panic, covering his Face.
Tang San, seeing this, feared his mentor might do something rash, so he glared fiercely at Lin Nuo, leaving behind an icy, murderous look before hurriedly chasing after him.
“Phew, finally some peace and quiet.”
Watching the backs of that bizarre master and Disciple pair as they slunk away, Lin Nuo let out a long sigh of relief, finally able to calm down and continue selecting suitable Spirit Beasts.
That flat-headed Gangzi was right about one thing: it was indeed difficult to find a top-quality spirit ring suitable for his Death Spider Emperor Spirit near Nuoding City.
But…
If the quality of the spirit ring was barely satisfactory, making up for it with the age of the spirit ring was also a good choice.
Closing the illustrated guide, Lin Nuo memorized the useful Spirit Beast information and neatly packed his things.
Then, he turned and walked out of the library, heading straight toward the territory of Xiao Chenyu’s group of young nobles.
…
The Lion King, who was currently pacifying his pride of lions, did not expect their natural predator to suddenly come knocking, and he was left on the verge of tears.
Looking at Lin Nuo’s exquisite but scalp-numbing Face, Xiao Chenyu was instantly on the verge of tears.
Could it be that this lord wanted to settle scores after the fact?
Wuwuwu…
Father, I’m afraid I won’t have the chance to return and inherit your position as City Lord!
However, Lin Nuo walked up, and his next few words left Xiao Chenyu and his henchmen completely stunned on the spot.
The other party actually expressed that if they, the self-funded students, helped him obtain sufficiently top-quality Whale Glue, the matter from that day would be completely put to rest.
Xiao Chenyu’s eyes widened suddenly, his mind frantically filling in the blanks.
So this Brother Lin, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, was actually a man of passion!
Did he really need such terrifying stuff at only six years old?
Xiao Chenyu stood up abruptly and saluted Lin Nuo,
“Brother Lin, I’ll make a statement here: even if I have to steal from my father’s inventory, I will deliver the most top-quality Whale Glue in all of Nuoding City into your hands!”
