There is always a kind of people in this world who are self-righteous, blindly arrogant, and always think that nothing can be done without them... and this old man seems to be one of them.
Yes, Chu Tianxiao admits that an old man like you with a strong background is indeed the beloved of the Prince of Fortune, the kind that is inexplicably loyal to you until death... When those poor Prince of Fortunes see you, they might just bow down to you without even a doubt
But please note that he is the impoverished prince charming!
And who are you facing now, old man? It's the young master of the Chu family, who has already stepped into the ranks of the four heroes after the decisive battle of the Purple Forbidden City! In this situation, you are still using this trick to fool people. Do you really think that the routine can be implemented? You also say things like "you are the true destiny" and "magnanimity"...
Have you forgotten how you fell into Chu Baijia's hands? It's because you think too much! If you didn't think too much and ran away directly in the Xionghuang Mountains, there wouldn't be so many twists and turns later, and how could you have fallen asleep and woken up only now
“… You never learn your lesson!”
Chu Tianxiao sighed in his heart, and then he heard the old man still talking nonsense, his eyebrows were cold, and he snorted softly: "Chu Tianxiao, this is fate. I am your destined guide. You have to give in in the end! Because you need me!"
"In view of your rude attitude, I am in a bad mood now, Mr. Bai. I was going to give you the secret manual tonight, but let's talk about it later!"
"However, I am not an unreasonable person. As long as you find me five treasures that can restore my soul, I will naturally change my mind..."
After these words fell, the old man folded his arms and sneered, looking at Chu Tianxiao, waiting for him to bow his head obediently, and then go to help him do this and that, like a cow or a horse, working hard without complaint...
Yes, that’s what he did to Qin Yun in the beginning, and now, he’s just doing the same thing! Of course, this time, he was really impressed by Chu Tianxiao, and he was no longer just using him like he did to Qin Yun, but he really wanted to “love talent” and train Chu Tianxiao… Of course, his main purpose was to have a physical body as soon as possible and get out of this state of being neither human nor ghost…
And that kind of thing can only be done by the top masters of the continent. Back then, although Qin Yun had strong talent, he failed repeatedly, so the old man didn't really want to train him to that level. But now Chu Tianxiao's talent shocked him and excited him at the same time. You must know that even if the old man is asleep, he will be able to sense the outside world to some extent, so he knows a little about Chu Tianxiao's achievements during this period... If not, he would not have put aside the old grudge and wanted to "let bygones be bygones" and accept Chu Tianxiao as his apprentice...
As for Chu Tianxiao's refusal to agree and his refusal to give in... Grandpa has never thought about such a thing!
In his opinion, he was once a powerful man on the continent who was high and mighty. It was a great honor for you that he was willing to condescend to accept you as his little disciple, and yet you were still picky
How is it possible! Chu Tianxiao must be a wise man to have come this far! A wise man should know his limits!
Therefore, in the old man’s eyes, Chu Tianxiao’s attitude just now was at most just a stubborn temper!
He had to give in eventually. Otherwise, if he kept talking back and doing nothing, would he not want to continue on the path of being a king? Did he still want to be the strongest person on the continent
Thinking of this, the sneer on the old man's mouth became more and more obvious. Although he had made up his mind to accept Chu Tianxiao as his apprentice, he also believed that he must polish him!
You must not give him the skills within a few days. You have to squeeze him for a while first!
Seeing the old man's expression that said 'I'm going to eat you up', Chu Tianxiao felt a long-lost evil taste welling up in his heart...
"Hmm... classic routine, grandpa is unhappy?"
"Hey... I remember now! Occasionally, the Prince of Fortune will quarrel with his beloved grandfather, or even have a fight. Then, there will be this kind of 'unhappy' cold war. However, the Prince of Fortune must not panic at this time, because this is all a routine!"
"Next, the prince charming just needs to admit his mistakes, and then serve the old man well and win his favor, and then he will get a series of rich rewards. This is really a good script that starts with depression and ends with praise, and starts with bitterness and ends with sweetness..."
Chu Tianxiao thought about this with evil amusement, but a sneer slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the mockery was self-evident...
"What a pity! I'm a spendthrift, so I don't play by the rules!"
Thinking of this, the Sumeru Ring on Chu Tianxiao's right hand flashed with a bright light - since he had guessed that the old man would revive sooner or later, he was naturally prepared!
When the old man saw this, he sneered smugly, thinking that everything was under his control. He lowered his body, ready to enjoy the good things that would restore his spirit, and snorted coldly, "That's right! Humph... You are sincere, wait until I recover a little, and then we will discuss the details of becoming your disciple. Three kneelings and nine kowtows, all kinds of offerings are necessary, and... ah? What is this!"
The old man was halfway through his words when he finally saw clearly what Chu Tianxiao took out from the Sumeru Ring, and he was immediately furious!
Chu Tianxiao said slowly: "Red Dragon... You don't recognize it, do you? This thing is specifically used to defeat ghosts. A weak soul like yours will probably... be worse than death after going in."
After saying this, the old man was furious: "How dare you... you are looking for... ah!—"
Before he finished speaking, Chu Tianxiao had already taken out a steel fork, covered his nose, grabbed the old man, and then... thrust it hard into the pile of "Red Dragons"!
“Uhhh!—”
Then a shrill howl spread out. Fortunately, Chu Tianxiao's gorgeous tent had built-in sound insulation, otherwise this would have alarmed everyone in the camp...
At that moment, the old man felt as if countless ferocious red dragons were tearing at his soul. His soul, which had recovered a lot during this period, was once again riddled with holes, and he was in excruciating pain! What made him even more anxious was that his own cultivation was also dissipating very quickly...
You know, this old man was a powerful figure of the evil sect when he was alive. Although his cultivation cannot be fully utilized due to his current state, he does have the foundation. As long as his soul recovers, he can possess the body of the ring holder and exert his strength... But just now, he felt that at least 10% of his foundation was destroyed!
"How dare you, young man... I will never coexist with you... Ugh!—"
After a burst of screams, Chu Tianxiao lifted the old man up, and saw that he no longer looked like an immortal as before.
His clothes were torn, his beard was disheveled, his body was full of holes, and his entire figure flickered, as if it could be blown away by a gust of wind...
"What kind of fork is this?"
The old man looked at the steel fork in Chu Tianxiao's hand with disbelief. It was not that he didn't want to resist, but when he was clamped by the steel fork, it was as if all his strength was lost!
This thing... is definitely not ordinary.
“Hehe…” Chu Tianxiao smiled without saying anything. He would not be stupid enough to tell the old man that this was a special reward given by the Big Spendthrift System after he got the Tianyi Divine Water. According to the introduction, this thing can deal with souls very accurately. A weak soul like the old man would not even be able to resist!
When the old man saw Chu Tianxiao didn't answer, he became even more angry: "Little bastard, if you have the ability, then you can..."
fork!
Chu Tianxiao didn't say anything and pushed him in again!
"What if I have the ability?"
After this voice fell, the old man had no time to answer him, because he was in so much pain at the moment!
Not long after, Chu Tianxiao lifted him up again.
"... Are you... Are you crazy... I am your guide... Don't you want to embark on the path of your true destiny..."
The old man said while panting, but before he could finish, Chu Tianxiao thrust in again!
While doing this, he muttered, "It seems that you haven't realized the current situation yet... But it doesn't matter. If you can't recognize it, I will help you recognize it!"
