Magic trick?

The old man that did not want to talk about his age was stumped.

He too no longer wants this insensible raccoon as his disciple. 'Hmph'.

Looking at the old man's lips that started to stretch even forwards compared to before, Flare understood that this old man doesn't like being called 'old'.

'Tch, how childish.'

"If you are old, you should accept that you are old," Flare commented ruthlessly bursting the old man's bubble of wanting to be a young man.

"I am not old. You are just too much of a child. That's all," the old man retorted back.

This only further proved that he was childish in Flare's mind.

Flare gave him a deadpan expression as he calmly commented, "Look at your hair."

The old man blinked his eyes and lowered his eyes to glance at his beard. Then he used his hands to bring forwards his long hair that was freely dancing backwards along with the wild winds around to look at it.

All he could see was shiny white which sparkled with the help of his high level of cultivation.

He then looked back at the little kit who appeared nonchalant about everything but somehow the old man could see the words in his eyes, 'Do you understand what I was saying?'

The old man gritted his teeth as he felt humiliated in front of this kid.

He immediately closed his eyes and sat in the lotus position.

Flare squinted his eyes as he suddenly felt something change around the old man.

The breathing of the old man changed as the frequency at which he took in the air turned rapid yet somehow relaxed.

While he straightened his back to observe all the changes around him, suddenly he felt the air around them start to circle around the old man, making his long hair flow higher and higher.

Flare subconsciously was about to close his eyes at the strong force of the wind but his intuitions told him that if he closed his eyes at this moment, he would miss something that he would regret not witnessing.

Hence he did everything that he could to keep his eyes wide open as he looked straight at the old man.

As Flare had already expected, under his watchful eyes, something miraculous started to happen.

The roots of the old man's hair started producing some light that flew all the way till the tips of his hair. This continued for a few seconds until the light started changing and the color started darkening.

While Flare did not understand what he just witnessed, the end result that he had seen was the previous old man with shiny white hair turned into the old man with shiny black hair.

Flare, the kit that always maintained nonchalance as the only expression on his raccoon face, now no longer had the previous nonchalance. He couldn't help opening his mouth wide as he was in a state of an utter shock.

While he didn't blink his eyes for a long time, he was jolted awake by the old man snapping his fingers in front of his face.

He blinked his eyes while shaking his head as he raised his head to look at the old man, "Old man, what kind of magic trick is this?"

The only 'magic' that Flare had seen was the shapeshifting of his family members on the day he was born.

Though that was already said to be a high level magic to normal living beings, since he had seen that scene on the day of his birth had already made Flare immune to many of the casual magic tricks that various magicians perform in front of the children.

Whenever their family went to some magic shows, his human brother, Hao Yu, would always open his mouth wide open and exclaim as loud as he could.

He would many times carry Flare in his arms and squeeze him tight while exclaiming, "Flareon, look at him. Isn't that super awesome and also super cool? How did he separate those two rings? It is really super cool. I want to know how he could do such super cool magic? I too want to learn."

Seeing that Flare never changed his expression except for frowning with a little pain, Hao Yu would have no other choice but click his tongue in disappointment before letting him be.

He would then turn towards his parents before declaring, "Mom, Dad, I too want to learn magic."

Of course his interest in magic would be gone within the next day but with the force he would squeeze Flare, to make him give out a reaction, would be enough to keep a couple of bruises on Flare for a couple of days.

Still there is no way he would want to react to the cheap magic tricks that he had seen like how Hao Yu had done.

But this is the first time he was so excited looking at this 'magic trick' that he couldn't help show his enthusiasm towards it.
