Chapter 18: How Can People Be So Hypocritical?
Tang San was startled and couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to teach me how to Cultivate spirit power?"
"Are you willing?"
Yu Xiaogang stopped, faced Tang San, and there was a hint of anticipation in his expression.
Tang San said nothing, just quietly looked at him.
Yu Xiaogang's expression stiffened slightly, and he awkwardly said, "As expected, you're a clever child."
Silence is often the best answer.
Yu Xiaogang knew that if he couldn't show some real ability at this moment, Tang San would not take him as his Master.
Just like when he faced Li Tian back then, if he had been able to present a plan that satisfied Li Tian, would the other party have refused?
"With such Innate talent and intelligence, it seems I also need to be persistent this time. After all, you are the third person with twin spirits in history."
Yu Xiaogang rubbed Tang San's head and said.
Tang San was greatly alarmed, and subconsciously raised his left hand, thinking of killing him to silence him.
Yu Xiaogang looked at him with a calm demeanor.
"Are you very curious as to why I know you have twin spirits?"
As he spoke, he shook Tang San's proof.
"Because of this proof, others might not see the trick, but it can't hide from me. Otherwise, I wouldn't deserve to be called Grandmaster."
"I've done some investigation."
"The probability of Blue Silver Grass, a trash Spirit, Awakening Innate spirit power is less than three percent."
"Even if it Awakens, it won't exceed rank one."
"But you are rank ten, which doesn't match the quality of your Spirit at all."
"Only twin spirits can explain everything."
"Furthermore, your other Spirit must be very powerful, otherwise it wouldn't be able to support Innate full spirit power."
Tang San's eyes gradually calmed down, and he began to argue.
However, no matter how he argued, Yu Xiaogang could give reasonable explanations and judgments, displaying a very broad knowledge base and talent.
Tang San finally made a decision. He took a step back and knelt on both knees.
He kowtowed three times to Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang was bewildered and asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"
"Master, please accept me as your Disciple."
Tang San knelt on the ground, looking up at Yu Xiaogang, his expression respectful and firm.
"Silly child, you don't need to kowtow to acknowledge a Master."
Yu Xiaogang was surprised but secretly delighted, very satisfied with Tang San's attitude.
Tang San said, "Once a Master, always a father."
"Good, good, good, once a Master, always a father. I really didn't choose wrong."
Yu Xiaogang exclaimed 'good' three times.
"It's not impossible to accept you as my Disciple, but I'm about to leave Nuoding City. Are you willing to come with me?"
"Ah?"
Tang San was stunned and asked, "Master, where are you going?"
He was unwilling to leave Nuoding City because his father was still in Saint Spirit Village.
His father was his only relative, and he didn't want to go too far.
He could give up the chance to become a Spirit Master for his father, so how could he leave him for someone he had just met?
How could a Master compare to one's own father?
Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but frown.
Was it because he was too young and unwilling to leave his hometown, or because of his parents?
"Tang San."
Yu Xiaogang said sternly, "Cultivating as a Spirit Master is not as easy as you imagine."
"You will have to leave the small Nuoding City sooner or later."
"If you don't even have this much determination, your future achievements are destined not to be too high."
Tang San said, "Master, I understand, but isn't it not that time yet?"
"You…"
Yu Xiaogang was exasperated. Why was one more difficult to deal with than the other?
Couldn't they make things easier for him?
Tang San's talent was even above Li Tian's; he couldn't give up on him.
However, Tang San's eyes were very firm.
If he continued to insist that Tang San leave with him, he might abandon him, his newly acknowledged godfather.
It seemed he could only stay in Nuoding City for a few more years.
Yu Xiaogang said helplessly, "Alright then, as your Master, I'll stay with you in Nuoding City for a few more years."
Tang San excitedly said, "Really, Master? Thank you."
"That's enough."
Yu Xiaogang waved his hand and said, "You go register first. I'll go find the Notting Dean."
This was ridiculous.
He had almost fallen out with the Notting Dean last night, and today he had to go back and tell him he was staying.
Would he agree?
These two little brats were truly speechless. Couldn't they be like Flender and the others?
Just do whatever he said?
"Okay, Master."
Tang San readily agreed and left after asking for the registration location.
Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, went to the Notting Dean's office with trepidation.
"What are you doing here?"
The Notting Dean looked at Yu Xiaogang, not giving him even a hint of a good expression.
"Cough, cough…"
Yu Xiaogang gave an awkward smile and said, "I thought about it, and it's indeed a bit disloyal to take Li Tian away just like that."
"I plan to wait until he graduates."
"Also, I agree to your request for me to teach. I'll teach this year's batch."
The Notting Dean was surprised.
Today's Yu Xiaogang matched his previous perception, but not yesterday's.
However, he quickly understood.
Most likely, he failed to handle Li Tian, so he had no choice but to stay.
Heh heh!
Speaking so grandly, how could this person be so hypocritical?
"No need."
The Notting Dean said coldly, "My small Nuoding Academy cannot accommodate a great Buddha like you."
"If you can take him, then take him."
"Go pursue your dreams. I look forward to the day you become famous across the continent."
Yu Xiaogang's expression stiffened.
I'm willing to condescend to help you teach those useless students, and you're putting on airs, aren't you?
"I…"
"Stop!"
Yu Xiaogang wanted to say something else, but the Notting Dean raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Other matters are negotiable, but this matter need not be brought up again."
Yu Xiaogang was startled, feeling that this sentence sounded vaguely familiar.
…
Li Tian was Cultivating in the dormitory and didn't deliberately wait for Old Jack at the school gate.
Because he wasn't sure if Tang Hao had followed him.
He shouldn't know that Tang San would arrive today, and going there might arouse Tang Hao's suspicion.
As for a chance encounter…
To have a chance encounter, he would have to stay near the school gate and observe in secret.
That would definitely not escape Tang Hao's notice.
But it wasn't a big problem. Old Jack should actively come into the school to visit him.
Even if he didn't come in, it was fine.
He could just go back to the village to visit before he left Nuoding City.
He also didn't have much money right now.
When he went back to visit, he could also leave them some money to repay their kindness of relief.
"It seems there won't be any other work-study students this year."
Wang Sheng and the others stared at the dormitory entrance listlessly, saying with some regret.
Leaving aside Li Tian, who arrived early, there were no work-study students last year.
It seemed there would only be Li Tian this year.
However, it wasn't surprising.
Talent is greatly related to parents, and it's too difficult for Spirit Master seedlings to emerge among commoners.
Several of them were the only seedlings of their batch.
Of course, 'only seedlings' here specifically referred to commoners; there would also be noble students.
There wouldn't be a situation where only one person was in a batch.
