Chapter 17: Mysterious Confidence Yu Xiaogang
Old Jack arrived at Nuoding City again, but this time he brought Tang San.
Speaking of this, he felt a bit dejected.
Tang Hao, that drunkard, didn't know what he was thinking; he clearly didn't agree to Tang San becoming a Spirit Master back then.
Now, for some inexplicable reason, he agreed again.
While this was a good thing, why didn't he do it sooner? He had to make his old bones run another trip.
He didn't even want to send him himself.
He didn't care about his own son; Little San was quite unlucky to have such a useless father.
"Little San."
"Grandpa will go back after dropping you off at the Academy. You must listen to your teachers at the Academy, and you must not leave the Academy without permission. Grandpa will pick you up when the holidays come."
Old Jack didn't show favoritism and still earnestly gave his instructions.
"Jack Grandpa, are you leaving so soon?"
Tang San felt a little flustered, after all, it was his first time leaving home to go to an unfamiliar environment.
Old Jack sighed inwardly when he saw this.
Li Tian's performance back then was much stronger than his, and he didn't know how that child was doing at the Academy.
"You don't need to be afraid."
"Isn't Little Tian still at the Academy? If you encounter any problems, he will definitely help you."
"After all, you both came from Saint Spirit Village."
"You also need to change your personality; don't be a lone wolf like you were in the village anymore."
"If anything comes up, you can discuss it more with Little Tian."
"When you're out and about, no one will genuinely help you; you need to learn to stick together for warmth."
Tang San's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
That's right, how could I forget that guy? He's been there for three months already; he must have already figured out the situation in the Academy.
"Alright, Jack Grandpa."
Old Jack nodded with satisfaction, then said no more.
Entering Nuoding City.
Old Jack, familiar with the route, led Tang San to Notting Academy.
"Oh, Old Man, why is it you again?"
One of the gatekeepers today had seen Old Jack three months prior.
And he recognized him at a glance.
Because Li Tian, whom he brought before, was too famous; he defeated that group of second-generation rich kids within a few days.
Now he brought another one.
Is the feng shui in their village that good?
Old Jack said, overwhelmed by the unexpected honor, "I didn't expect you to still remember this old man."
"No, no, no!"
The gatekeeper quickly waved his hand and said, "I am not a Spirit Master; I cannot bear your respectful address."
Tang San couldn't help but be a little surprised by this scene.
Are people outside this kind? Their quality feels much better than the people in their village.
"No, who is he?"
Another gatekeeper who hadn't seen Old Jack asked curiously.
How could he not know this guy's personality?
Although they weren't Spirit Masters, as gatekeepers of a Soul Master Academy,
They felt their status was superior.
It was already good enough that they didn't make things difficult for these country folks; why were they even fawning a bit?
That gatekeeper said, "Li Tian's grandpa."
"Old Man, you must be tired from your journey. Please wait a moment; I'll go pour you some water."
The questioning gatekeeper's expression instantly changed, and he ran off after speaking.
The exchange between the two did not avoid Old Jack and Tang San, so they roughly understood what was going on.
It seems Li Tian is doing quite well at the Academy.
"Old Man, who is this?"
The gatekeeper who didn't leave curiously sized up Tang San, while guessing his Innate talent in his heart.
Old Jack quickly handed over the proof.
"My goodness!"
The gatekeeper cried out in surprise when he saw another Innate full spirit power.
What's going on with this village?
Geniuses, rare in the entire Spirit Master's world, how come their village is mass-producing them?
Is it that bizarre?
No, after getting married, I'll just move to their village. What if my descendants can catch some Luck?
Blue Silver Grass?
After seeing the Spirit column, the gatekeeper was a bit confused. Can Blue Silver Grass also Awaken with Innate full spirit power?
This village truly has a touch of the mystical.
"Come, Old Man, and this little friend, have some water to quench your thirst."
The gatekeeper, who had left and returned, now held two cups of water.
"What's going on?"
Old Jack and Tang San were about to thank him and take the water when they were drawn by a questioning voice.
"Grandmaster!"
Seeing the newcomer, the two gatekeepers quickly saluted, not daring to show any disrespect.
After all, they were not Spirit Masters.
No matter how useless Yu Xiaogang was, he was still a Spirit Grandmaster, and also a friend of the Dean.
"Hmm, what's going on?"
Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, chest out, head held high, with a hint of arrogance in his demeanor.
However, his peripheral vision was sizing up Tang San.
He knew exactly what kind of people these gatekeepers were; to make them so obsequious,
Could it be an ordinary person?
That old man certainly wasn't the reason, so it could only be because of the child.
Could it be...!
After Li Tian, another Genius has emerged?
This thought had just formed when Yu Xiaogang ruthlessly extinguished it.
Where are there so many Geniuses?
"Grandmaster, this Old Man is from the countryside, and this child is a work-study student from their village."
The gatekeeper didn't mention Li Tian.
He heard that Grandmaster and Li Tian didn't get along well, and the Director of Teaching Affairs had a big argument with him because of it.
"Oh, show me the proof."
Yu Xiaogang was a bit excited, because so far, it was similar to his guess.
That child might really be a Genius.
The gatekeeper reluctantly handed over the proof. Yu Xiaogang took it and quickly glanced at it.
Innate full spirit power?
Yu Xiaogang's pupils couldn't help but contract. It was another Innate full spirit power.
What a joke?
When did Innate full spirit power become so worthless, appearing in waves?
Hmm?
Spirit Blue Silver Grass?
For a waste Spirit like Blue Silver Grass, it was already a blessing to have any Innate spirit power.
How could it support Innate full spirit power?
Could it be...
Good, good, good, such rare talents are all coming to me. I, Yu Xiaogang, am indeed destined by Dao.
"The proof is fine."
Yu Xiaogang looked at Old Jack: "Old Man, leave this child to me."
"Uh..."
Old Jack was slightly stunned. He was going to visit Li Tian on the way.
Never mind.
Li Tian is destined to soar and go out; it's better not to disturb his focus.
"Alright, then I'll entrust Little San to Grandmaster."
Old Jack bowed to Yu Xiaogang, then gave Tang San a few more instructions before turning to leave.
Tang San said, "Teacher, thank you."
Yu Xiaogang glanced at Tang San and said indifferently, "I am not a teacher at this Academy."
"Not a teacher?"
Tang San was a bit confused, then realized and said, "I understand, you must be a leader of the Academy, right?"
Yu Xiaogang chuckled softly.
"You're not very old, but you're quite clever. However, you're still wrong."
Tang San looked puzzled: "Then who are you?"
Yu Xiaogang said, "I am merely a guest living here, freeloading on food and drink."
"As for my name, I've long forgotten it."
"You can call me Grandmaster; everyone calls me that."
"Tang San, remember this!"
"The meaning of Grandmaster and teacher is vastly different. Don't get it wrong in the future."
"Unless..."
Yu Xiaogang paused, looking at Tang San with burning eyes: "Unless you are truly willing to let me be your teacher."
