Chapter 3 Nottingham Academy
Chapter 3 Nottingham Academy
"you....."
Old Jack and Old Tom couldn't help but lose their tempers when the doorman deliberately made things difficult for them.
At this moment, Ye Qinghe finally spoke up, "This was issued by Master Su Yuntao of the Spirit Hall. Since you don't even recognize the Spirit Master certificate issued by the Spirit Hall and don't take the Spirit Hall seriously at all, then we have no choice but to go find Master Su Yuntao... Grandpa Tom, Grandpa Jack, let's go. Hopefully, you'll still be so tough then..."
"Alright, let's go find Master Su Yuntao."
Old Tom and Old Jack were already angry, and upon hearing this, they immediately agreed and were about to take the two children to find Su Yuntao.
The gatekeeper panicked upon seeing this. He believed that if they were just making things difficult for these few country bumpkins and demanding kickbacks from them, the deacons of the Spirit Hall would not come to the academy to question them on their behalf.
But if it involves disrespecting the Spirit Hall, then things get very serious.
Tang San, who was standing next to Old Jack, secretly put away the silent dart in his sleeve. He took in the gatekeeper's reaction and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He had already prepared to use the silent dart to assassinate the gatekeeper if he continued to make things difficult. At such close range, he was confident that he would not expose himself and did not think that anyone would suspect him, a child.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qinghe from the neighboring village, who had been so taciturn all along, actually knew how to use his influence to intimidate others.
With just a few words, the doorman gave in.
"Wait a minute..." ×2
The doorman's voice and another somewhat hoarse voice sounded almost simultaneously.
The doorman's voice was noticeably quieter.
The four looked in the direction of the hoarse voice, and when they saw who it was, the doorman immediately fawned over them, his manner extremely obsequious.
"Master, you're back!"
A man of medium build, slightly thin, with thick lips, a buzz cut, thick stubble, and a face full of dejection, walked over with his hands behind his back.
Who else could it be but Yu Xiaogang?
[Ding, villain Yu Xiaogang detected. Would you like to bind?]
"Bind!"
Upon seeing Yu Xiaogang, he showed no surprise on his face, but silently murmured to himself.
This wasn't just because he had foresight; he had been subtly observing his surroundings from the very beginning. Yu Xiaogang had already arrived long before the gatekeeper started making things difficult for them.
Or rather, the other party has always been nearby.
It wasn't until Old Tom and Old Jack produced their martial soul certificates and the doorman questioned Tang San's innate full soul power that Yu Xiaogang slowly walked over, as if it were just a coincidence.
Although the other party tried his best to hide it, it was not difficult for anyone who paid close attention to observe that his hands behind his back were somewhat tense and his gait was a bit uncoordinated. Clearly, he was not as calm as one might imagine.
[Ding, binding successful.]
[Bound Character: Yu Xiaogang, Martial Soul: Luo Sanpao, Soul Power: Level 29, Favorability: 0 (Disdain, Looks down on)]
"Heh, they really are as arrogant as they are insecure. A half-level innate soul power, they actually look down on me, a third-level innate soul power."
Ye Qinghe sneered inwardly.
..........
In fact, just as Ye Qinghe had predicted.
Yu Xiaogang's mood was very unsettled at this moment, extremely unsettled.
He possesses innate full soul power, and it's Blue Silver Grass. Based on his plagiarism... based on the ten core competitive advantages of martial souls he researched over many years, it's highly likely he has twin martial souls.
He's been eating dry food in Nottingham for so many years... oh no, he's been waiting at Nottingham Academy for so long.
He neither teaches nor works, but devotes himself to theoretical research, isn't he just waiting for this day?
Now that a peerless genius is right in front of him, he absolutely cannot miss this opportunity.
However, to avoid any misunderstandings, it's still necessary to confirm.
After all, not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry deserves the teachings of Master Yu Xiaogang.
As for that War Tiger with innate level three soul power, it's just an ordinary martial soul, so there's no need to bother with it.
These thoughts flashed through Yu Xiaogang's mind for only a moment. He ignored the doorman and looked at Old Jack, "Sir, could you please show me the proof of your martial spirit?"
When Old Jack heard the doorman address Yu Xiaogang as Master and show him such respect, he subconsciously assumed that Yu Xiaogang was a teacher at Notting Academy, so he quickly handed over his Martial Soul Certificate.
"Soul Master, this is Ye Qinghe's from our Emperor Soul Village." Old Tom handed over Ye Qinghe's Martial Soul Certificate upon seeing this.
Yu Xiaogang symbolically glanced at Ye Qinghe's martial soul certificate before handing it back. Then she looked at Tang San's, and after discovering that it was indeed innate full soul power, she looked him up and down, becoming more and more satisfied with the look.
As expected, he possesses innate full soul power.
Regardless, I must accept it today to prove my theory.
"The martial spirit certificate is indeed genuine. Sir, I apologize on behalf of the academy. Please leave these two children to me. As for you, if there's a next time, don't come again." The last sentence was addressed to the gatekeeper.
"Thank you, Soul Master." ×2
Old Tom and Old Jack, these two old friends, thanked Ye Qinghe and Tang San profusely when they saw that they were able to enroll.
Before leaving, he reminded the two to help each other.
Ye Qinghe secretly memorized their instructions and quickly made a plan in his mind.
Yu Xiaogang looked down at Tang San, a smile more painful than a grimace appearing on her stiff, old face. "Let's go in."
As he spoke, he grabbed Tang San's hand.
Tang San did not resist. After Ye Qinghe took his Martial Soul Certificate from Old Tom, he silently followed behind.
After walking for a while, Tang San formally expressed his gratitude to Yu Xiaogang, saying, "Thank you, teacher."
Yu Xiaogang looked down at Tang San and said, "I'm not a teacher at the academy yet, just a guest who's freeloading here. Please call me Master like everyone else does, that's what everyone calls me..."
These words nearly made Ye Qinghe vomit. He actually wanted everyone to call him "Master"—he had absolutely no shame!
However, this also presents him with an opportunity to gain emotional points.
Anyway, Tang Ritian wouldn't stand up for this good-for-nothing.
Yu Xiaogang continued, "Your Martial Soul Certificate says your name is Tang San, right? You need to understand that 'Grandmaster' and 'Teacher' have completely different meanings, so don't call me by the wrong name in the future."
At this point, his gaze toward Tang San became fervent, "Unless you are truly willing to let me be your teacher."
"Tang San, you shouldn't become his disciple," Ye Qinghe suddenly said.
These words stunned Yu Xiaogang, and Tang San, who was about to ask Yu Xiaogang if he would teach him how to cultivate a martial soul, was also stunned.
Immediately afterward, Yu Xiaogang raised an eyebrow.
Yu Xiaogang was unwilling to let go of Tang San, this genius with twin martial souls and innate full soul power. Although she was very angry, she still pretended to be calm and asked:
"Can you tell me why, little one?"
P.S.: Recommendations needed.
