Confrontation

Hansen was still a bit afraid in his heart but he didn't show any sign of fear. He indifferently said, "I know everything you said. But, I had to defend myself. If a Man Faced Demon Spider suddenly appeared in front of me, are you saying I should stand still and let it kill me?"

Meng Shu frowned,

"You are saying, you killed this Man Faced Demon Spider by yourself?"

Hansen nodded confidently. He had choosen to selectively ignore Tang San's contribution. Besides even without Tang San he could easily kill it. It's just that he was not sure that if doing so would lead to the soul bones not appearing. That's why Hansen only acted at the last moment.

Dragon Duke and Serpent Grandmother looked at each other, both seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes. Even though the Man Faced Demon Spider isn't an overly powerful spirit beast, in the thousand year category, it's attack power is definitely ranked very high.

Though it didn't have its spider webs, with its attack and defense capabilities, it still was slain by the twelve year old in front of them. How this happened was truly beyond the old couple.

Serpent Grandmother's impression of Hansen was already high, but she couldn't help but to raise her impression even more. Before, when Meng Yiran lost to Tang San, she didn't think much about it. But now she realized, her grand daughter really wasn't this child's worthy enemy.

Dragon Duke Meng Shu's Dragon Headed Staff flicked upwards, a stream of white spirit power thrown out of the butt of the staff, flipping over the Man Faced Demon Spider.

He saw the damaged eyes immediately, and couldn't help but nod in his mind.

Though he didn't know how Hansen did it, from the fact that Hansen could attack this Man Faced Demon Spider's weakness, he could tell the child's ability to remain calm in front of strong enemies.

Looking at Hansen again, Meng Shu couldn't help but show some of his admiration. And looking at the final blow to the demon spider, even he was a bit astonished that someone below level 30 could use it.

" Grandfather, you have to stand on my side on this!"

Meng Yiran was only sixteen years old after all. Seeing another strong spirit ring stolen, especially by the same person, how could she possibly keep her anger in?

Meng Shu patted his granddaughter on her head, gesturing her to not worry. Looking up at Hansen, he said:

"Hansen , I'll give you two choices. I, Dragon Duke Meng Shu, have been going around the Spirit Master world for a long time, and I'm not unreasonable. Against a Man Faced Demon Spider, anyone has to protect themselves, so killing it is within reason. But, the two times you stopped my granddaughter from getting a spirit ring isn't going to be over just like that."

Although Hansen was already a bit impatient but he still asked respectfully.

"What are the two choices you give me, elder? "

Meng Shu said:

"My choices for you are very simple. First choice, you join our family and become one of our family members. As you will be our family, the fact that you stopped Yiran from getting a spirit ring, and wasting this precious Man Faced Demon Spider's spirit ring will be forgiven."

Joining the family? It sounded simple, but if he really joined, then it would be a lifetime commitment. For any Spirit Master, the moment they join a family, they could never betray them. They had to become a part of the family.

Everything you do after that in your life will be restricted by that family.

Of course, spirit masters that join big families were treated very well.

There were exceptions of course, but the precondition was that you had to be powerful to a certain degree. With Hansen's current situation, If he joined a family, then he would forever be only a person of that family. Meng Shu fancied his talent. Prodigies such as Hansen were very rare.

Hansen shook his head,

"Sorry, elder. I'm used to being free, I don't like being restricted. "

How could Hansen agree? He was after all a person with a system and ambitions. Besides if he tried with all his strength and coupled with the surprise factor, it was not necessary that he would loose.

"Otherwise, you can only pick the second option, leave behind one arm as compensation for my granddaughter and you can leave."

After Hansen repeatedly rejected his invitation, Meng Shu also became angry and put forward his second condition.

Seeing that the situation was not right anymore, Hansen directly took action.

While the Dragon Duke and Snake grandmother were not paying attention, Hansen directly raised his wand and used his newly acquired spell two times.

"Expelliarmus! "

"Expelliarmus! "

On the other hand, the Dragon Duke and Snake grandmother were not expecting for a mere level 30 soul master to take the initiative to attack them and got struck by his spell.

Immediately after both of them spurted out a mouthfull of blood and their martial souls disintegrated.

"Grandpa! Grandmother! "

Meng Yiran hurriedly approached them with worry.

Using this opportunity, Hansen approached her first and grabbed her by the neck.

"Look elders, I don't want to escalate the situation. "

Hansen spoke while looking at the the Dragon Duke and Snake grandmother lying on the ground, injured from the backlash.

"Right now taking advantage of your weakness I can do a lot of things. But don't worry I won't. In return I only ask you to not trouble me in the future. "
