The older one looked to be in his sixties, with a tall and thin figure, but he was full of vigor.
His clothes were clean and tidy, and his hair was combed meticulously, making him look quite acceptable.
The younger one was rather miserable-looking.
Not only were his clothes covered in patches, but he also looked extremely thin and scrawny, as if he severely lacked nutrition.
Compared to the old man, they were simply two extremes.
However, the ordinary face belonging to the other person caught the attention of Lin Yuan.
At this time period, with this attire and this ordinary face, it could only be Tang San, the only male working-study student in this batch of the original work.
And that old man, barring any surprises, should be Old Jack, the village chief of Saint Spirit Village.
Now that Tang San had arrived, Yu Xiaogang should also be making his appearance soon.
Amidst his thoughts, Lin Yuan saw the concierge start to make things difficult for Tang San and Old Jack.
Then, shifting his gaze, he saw two other people.
If Yu Xiaogang was within his expectations, then the other person was somewhat unexpected.
Yan Beifei.
That transmigrator who made his own Blue Silver Grass gain Soul Power from scratch.
Judging by the direction he just came out from, his clothes had also been changed.
Without any accidents, the other party had been staying at an inn during this period.
But what amused Lin Yuan was that when Yu Xiaogang heard the concierge angrily scold the Innate Full Soul Power Blue Silver Grass of Tang San as fake—
Yu Xiaogang, who had not cared much just a moment ago, instantly wore an expression of having struck gold.
Upon seeing this expression on Yu Xiaogang, Yan Beifei wore a look of disdain on his face.
Not long after, when the concierge failed to make things difficult and was instead kicked over by Tang San, just as he was about to be killed by the Silent Sleeve Dart of Tang San, Yu Xiaogang shouted to stop him.
“Alright, stop.”
“Grandmaster, you are back.”
The concierge, completely unaware that he had just brushed shoulders with the Grim Reaper, was as flattering now as he had been arrogant before.
Yu Xiaogang merely glanced sideways at the concierge before shifting his attention to the Spirit proof of Tang San.
After confirming that it was truly Innate Full Soul Power and the Spirit was Blue Silver Grass, Yu Xiaogang looked Tang San up and down.
Then, he feigned an apology to Old Jack and sent Old Jack back.
As for himself, after symbolically scolding the concierge, he brought Tang San into the academy.
At the same time, Yan Beifei walked over.
Having learned from the previous lesson, plus the decent attire of Yan Beifei, the concierge naturally did not dare to make things difficult for him.
After presenting the Spirit proof issued by Su Yuntao, Yan Beifei followed right behind Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.
Immediately following that, a dramatic scene unfolded.
Just as Yu Xiaogang, like a blind cat hitting a dead mouse, guessed that Tang San possessed twin spirits and coaxed Tang San into preparing to apprentice under him,
Yan Beifei, who was following behind, suddenly spoke up, “If I were you, I would not apprentice under him.”
These words caused Yu Xiaogang to freeze on the spot.
Tang San, who was just preparing to apprentice, instantly turned cold in expression.
Earlier, he had kept his attention entirely on Yu Xiaogang and ignored his back, never expecting that someone had been eavesdropping behind him all along.
Does this not mean the other party already knew he possessed twin spirits?
His father had once said not to reveal the secret of possessing twin spirits to anyone.
Now that the other party already knew, according to the general principles of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, this person had already brought upon himself the path to death.
Thinking of this, the eyes of Tang San gradually turned crimson, already showing signs of breathing heavily like an ox.
Lin Yuan saw this scene from afar.
Although he could not hear clearly what they were saying, judging by how Yan Beifei suddenly jumped out just as Tang San was about to kowtow and become an apprentice, he had basically guessed what was going on.
Leaving aside what Tang San thought, even Gangzi was not someone the current Yan Beifei could afford to provoke.
As the saying goes, blocking the path of Dao of someone is akin to killing their parents.
Tang San was the hope of Yu Xiaogang to prove himself.
He, Yan Beifei, a mere Spirit Scholar of Blue Silver Grass with only a few ranks of Soul Power, dared to run over and ruin the good deed of Gangzi.
He truly was not treating a rank 29 Gangzi as a Spirit Grandmaster.
At the same time, Yu Xiaogang, who had recovered his wits, also frowned, but after all, he was an expert actor.
Right in front of Tang San, even though the act of Yan Beifei stopping Tang San from apprenticing made Yu Xiaogang very angry,
he still feigned a calm expression and asked, “Little friend, can you tell me why?”
Yan Beifei, completely unaware of his own situation, crazily courted death by saying:
“You look way too weak.”
“If he apprenticed under you, there would not even be anyone to hunt spirit rings for Tang San.”
“Even if you were willing to hunt spirit rings for Tang San, you could not beat a century-old Spirit Beast, and you would only drag Tang San down to die with you.”
“Meeting a decade-old Spirit Beast, you would only ruin Tang San, this possessor of Innate Full Soul Power.”
“Tang San, you must definitely not listen to the coaxing of this swindler.”
“Besides, I actually saw this guy guarding near the school gate early on.”
“When he saw you and that old grandfather being given a hard time by the concierge, he did not come out to stop it.
Instead, he only came out after hearing the concierge say you were a Blue Silver Grass Spirit Master with Innate Full Soul Power.”
“All of this was premeditated.
It was all to trick you, a Genius with Innate Full Soul Power, into taking him as a master.”
“And the most important point is, I know this person.
His real name is Yu Xiaogang.”
“Just because his Spirit mutated and awakened a pig, he ran away from home.”
“Ever since then, he has gone around swindling and bluffing, living off women shamelessly, launching heavy attacks internally while being weak and powerless externally, and telling everyone he meets that he is the Grandmaster.”
“In reality, he is nothing more than a swindler who has not even reached rank 30 by over fifty years old, misleading the youth.”
“Oh, I almost forgot, he is not fifty yet.
But with this pig Spirit that can never break through rank 30 for the rest of his life,”
“let alone fifty, even at sixty, seventy, eighty, or ninety years old, do not even think about breaking through rank 30.”
With these words finished, it undoubtedly stripped away the last shred of dignity of Yu Xiaogang completely.
This caused the expression of Yu Xiaogang to suddenly turn gloomy.
He did not say anything, only lowering his head halfway with his eyes covered in shadow, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The expression of Tang San looked no better either.
Because he heard from the mouth of Yan Beifei that the other party had been following behind him from the very beginning.
This meant that the secret of his twin spirits had been completely exposed without a doubt.
The argument between the two quickly attracted a crowd of onlookers among the students.
Some older students who already looked down on Yu Xiaogang began pointing fingers at Yu Xiaogang one after another.
Lin Yuan also seized the opportunity to blend into the crowd.
Listening to the occasional sneers and ridiculing laughter coming from beside his ears, Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists tightly, letting his nails dig into his flesh without caring at all.
Yu Xiaogang let out a low roar, “What else do you know?
Say it all together.”
Yan Beifei was greatly startled by the appearance of Yu Xiaogang.
However, seeing that the surrounding area was packed with people, his courage grew large again, and he said with a full face of disdain:
“And the most important point is, you just said you are merely a guest who freeloads on food and drinks.”
“This shows you have never taught a single student.”
“Was it because others would not let you teach?
Obviously not.
After all, in an Elementary Spirit Master Academy, the cultivation of teachers is generally that of a Spirit Grandmaster.”
“The real reason is that you are unwilling to teach and lack the ability to teach.
You just want to find a Genius with Innate Full Soul Power like Tang San, and bask in his glory after he succeeds.”
“A true Great Master should teach ordinary Spirit Masters into geniuses, rather than going out of their way to find geniuses to teach.”
“This only shows that your teaching standard is simply terrible.”
