96: Apprenticeship, Wei Huang

"If you think a supreme powerhouse is making a Breakthrough in the city, why not just search the entire city?

If someone jumps out to beat you up, or kills you... then that just means you guessed right."

Wei Huang looked at Zhou Ye with an unpleasant expression. He had the ability to search the entire city, even in the blink of an eye;

But he couldn't do that...

It was precisely because of the situation Zhou Ye mentioned—the friend or foe status of the other party was unknown. If he were to recklessly search the city, what would he do if someone jumped out and killed him?

Where would he go to reason with them then...

Zhou Ye thought for a moment and then said: "However, there is one thing I can be sure of, and that is that you have absolutely no need to worry this much."

"Why?"

"An ant worrying about whether the sun in the sky will fall... Do you think such a thing is meaningful?"

Wei Huang frowned. He was already used to Zhou Ye's cryptic ways;

What he meant by saying this was... was the other party so strong they were beyond imagination?

Whether or not they could find them was of no significance to Great Qin at all...

But Great Qin also had Ninth Realm powerhouses. Could it be that even Ninth Realm powerhouses could not contend with them?

He couldn't help but ask: "Old man Zhou, you haven't been in contact with any strange people lately, have you?"

"What do you mean?"

"For example, Day of Vengeance, Supreme Temple... things like that?"

"..." Zhou Ye fell silent. He understood what Wei Huang meant; did he think his brain had been affected by some strange things?

"Get lost!"

...

"Teacher, this is Chu Yuan."

"Greetings, Senior." Chu Yuan said very politely;

Wei Huang did not hide the appreciation in his eyes and said with a smile: "When Little Qi asked me for a Cultivation Technique back then, I was curious what kind of youth could make him come to me on his own initiative;

Now it seems, although Little Qi's martial arts talent is a bit trash, his judgment is still not bad."

He only had the appearance of a young man, yet he called the middle-aged-looking Qi Da 'Little Qi' again and again;

But there was not a hint of awkward atmosphere at the dining table.

Wei Huang just sat there, and it seemed he naturally became the absolute focus!

Overbearing, sharp, and uninhibited!

It made one unable to help but feel a sense of submission rising from the heart...

"Teacher, I have already advanced to the Nirvana Realm!" Qi Da could not help but defend himself. What did he mean by trash martial arts talent?

Wei Huang glanced at him with disdain and sneered: "Just good luck, how many times in your life can you run into this kind of dog-shit luck?"

Seeing that Qi Da was angry but dared not speak, Chu Yuan felt injustice for the Principal, thinking to himself: Principal, just you wait, I will definitely make you run into more dog-shit luck...

"Chu Yuan also ran into dog-shit luck..." Qi Da muttered in a low voice;

"..." Chu Yuan was speechless. Forget it, just pretend he hadn't thought about anything just now...

"Look at your lack of ambition! How old is Chu Yuan, and how old are you?"

Chu Yuan was a bit curious; he really didn't know the Principal's age;

Rather, he knew Wei Huang's approximate age... Powerhouses who had existed since the Early Stages of the martial arts recovery were basically over three hundred years old.

It was just that Qi Da obviously wouldn't honestly answer how old he was, and just buried his head in his food;

"Your talent is astonishing, you dare to fight when danger arrives, and you are quite steady when facing an Opportunity! You are very good!

Han Ting said that you took the initiative to hand over the Blood Beast Clan's Legacy to him?"

"Uh... Senior is overpraising me. I just had good luck;

Besides, something like a clan's Legacy is much more useful in the hands of the authorities than in my hands..."

"Luck is also a part of strength. Why didn't others have such luck?"

Qi Da paused his movements, secretly thinking: Teacher, that is not what you said just now;

Subsequently, he increased the speed of shoveling food into his mouth with even more grief and indignation...

"By the way, those Blood Beasts that survived in Secret Realm No. 7 have already been fenced off in an area by Han Ting to be raised;

The agreement between you and that Blood Beast King has been fulfilled."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuan felt slightly relieved. He really didn't have any friendship with the enemy, but a promise was a promise;

He had been worried before that those Blood Beasts might also be teleported to different places and thus fall... or that the powerhouse named Han didn't care.

Now that there was a result, it could be considered as putting one worry to rest...

The more Wei Huang looked at Chu Yuan, the more he appreciated him, and the thought of taking him as a Disciple surfaced again;

He was indeed a bit busy lately and might not have time to teach Chu Yuan... but just staking a claim first was fine too, lest someone else get there first.

After hesitating for a moment, Wei Huang still opened his mouth to ask: "Chu Yuan, do you have a Master?"

He still had to ask first, otherwise, he was afraid of snatching someone else's Disciple;

It wasn't that a Martial Artist could only have one Master; if that were the case, how would a Disciple cultivate after surpassing their teacher?

But if two Martial Artists of the same Realm took the same person as a Disciple at the same time, that would be different...

Seemingly realizing something, Qi Da's movements also stopped, and he silently looked at Chu Yuan;

"... No."

"Since you don't have a Master... I have the intention to take you as my Disciple; I don't know if you are willing or not." Wei Huang said in a deep voice: "Of course, with your talent, perhaps you don't necessarily have to take me as your Master;

For example, Han Ting, who saved you from the Secret Realm, as far as I know, he also has the intention to take you as a Disciple;

It just so happens that I am going to be busy with a major matter during this period, so even if you take me as your Master, I might not have much time to teach you in your cultivation.

So don't feel any pressure. If you are willing, then you are willing; if you are not... it doesn't matter."

Why wouldn't he be willing? Chu Yuan couldn't find a reason to refuse;

Although for Chu Yuan's cultivation, there might be no one in Great Qin who could teach him...

But what a teacher brings is not just guidance on cultivation, but also many other things!

Such as resources, such as information...

Chu Yuan smiled and said: "Teacher."

"Hahahaha, good Disciple!" Wei Huang laughed loudly and directly pulled a spatial ring from his bosom and threw it to Chu Yuan: "This is a greeting gift from your teacher. Cultivate well in the future! Don't learn from some people!"

Qi Da felt sour inside. Teacher, who is the 'some people' you are talking about? You might as well make it clear...

Had you even prepared the apprenticeship gift in advance?

Teacher, you guy...

Just as he was preparing to say something as well, he saw that Chu Yuan had already looked at him and said teasingly:

"Senior Brother."

"..." The expression on Qi Da's face was a bit strange;

Although that was the relationship, that was correct... but why did it feel so awkward?

A few minutes ago it was a relationship between an elder and a Junior... a few minutes later they became fellow apprentices?

"Did you not hear your Junior Brother calling you? Are your ears stuffed with donkey hair?"

"... Junior Brother."

Wei Huang nodded with satisfaction and said to Chu Yuan: "When you have free time, meet your other Senior Brothers, and your Mistress as well.

You are currently... Divine Power Realm?"

He knew that Chu Yuan was able to hold his own against Tong Han with a boiling source pill in Secret Realm No. 7, but that was a special situation;

And the higher-ups had already reached a conclusion before: do not investigate, do not probe.

So they just acted as if it had never happened...

"Yes, Teacher." Chu Yuan replied simply.

"The choice of the first Martial Skill in the Divine Power Realm is very important!" Wei Huang said seriously: "What type of Martial Skill do you prefer? I will help you refer to some."
