chapter 9

FENG LIE POV

Before I could think to do anything I heard Luxon's words in my mind.

"Master, this man standing next to Tang San is Yu Xiaogang, he is recognized as the master of theories in the society of spiritual masters and he also has a friendship with the headmaster of the Nuoding school. So be careful not to offend him ." Luxon explained quickly in my mind as he floated beside me in invisible mode.

After listening to Luxon I had to calm down.

After all, I'm not like those Chinese protagonists who offend first and don't even think about the consequences.

This old man named Yu Xiaogang is recognized as the master of theories in the society of spiritual masters, which may mean he has some superpower backing him.

"I really want to beat this shitty geezer, but not knowing what power is behind him makes it too risky... Later I'll ask Luxon to investigate this geezer." I thought as I calmed down.

"Feng Lie?" Tang San noticed my presence when I left the dorm.

"Yes, good morning to you Tang San." I greeted him as I approached them.

"Feng Lie? Little San is this young man Feng Lie who came forward last night?" Yu Xiaogang spoke while having surprise and curiosity.

"Yes teacher, he is Feng Lie." Tang San spoke.

Teacher? Tang San recognized Yu Xiaogang as his teacher?

I see, as Tang San doesn't have a good eye for judging people, so we can't be friends.

"Hello my name is Yu Xiaogang but everyone in high school calls me grandmaster." Yu Xiaogang introduced himself. There was a small hint of arrogance in his words.

"It's nice to meet you, my name is Feng Lie." I introduced myself in a neutral tone. I really didn't like this old man but it's not wise to act against him without knowing about the power behind him.

I was already turning to leave but Yu Xiaogang spoke.

"Please wait. It's true that you advanced to level 10 yesterday, right? In that case you wouldn't want to come with me and little San to a forest of spirit beasts to get your first spirit ring." Yu Xiaogang spoke in an expectant tone.

"Thanks for the offer but I have to decline." I refused immediately.

Despite my inexplicable distaste for Yu Xiaogang, there is another reason for me to refuse his offer is...

"What? But why? You're not interested in your first ring..." Yu Xiaogang was surprised and there was a bit of panic in his voice. He tried to persuade me but I stopped him.

"Grandmaster, I already have a teacher. My teacher and I had already agreed that when I reached level 10 he would come take me so I could get my spiritual ring. That's why I can't go with you." I spoke with a calm and serious expression.

"I see, so could you tell me who your teacher is?" Yu Xiaogang asked curiously.

"I can't talk. My teacher likes to be discreet so I won't talk about him." I answered.

Of course the fact that I have a teacher is a lie.

I created this lie for two reasons.

The first reason is because having a mystery master is very convenient. I don't need to worry about my magecraft being discovered and also if someone finds out about my magecraft then I just need to say that my master taught me.

As for the second reason it is quite simple.

I don't want to lower my head to anyone.

The people of this world don't have much knowledge or vision. After countless generations they have become used to the fact that by killing soul beasts they will obtain a spiritual ring. In this process they need to take into account the type of beast they will kill because of compatibility with their martial spirits, and they also cannot absorb a very powerful ring or else their bodies will explode.

Most spiritual teachers are related to sects or large families, if I have a teacher myself I will probably have to relate to one of these groups, and that is something I want to avoid.

After all I want to live my life freely without having to lower my head to anyone, and for that to happen I will need to create my own secret faction in the future. So I will use my mystery teacher's identity to make everything easier.

"I understand in this case have a good day, little San come... Let's go." Yu Xiaogang spoke dejectedly.

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang climbed into the carriage and left. When the carriage pulled away a bit I secretly used a basic curse that will make Yu Xiaogang have diarrhea for a whole day, this curse will activate the next day.

"Now let's go to the cafeteria I'm hungry." I said as I felt my snore.
