Chapter 65 - 64: Worship Me as A Master_1
"Add another merit for today."
Ye Hanjun, who left the initial refining workshop and was strolling down the street with his hands in his pockets, looked disinterested.
The mission of rescuing the ton pigs was done almost casually.
He did it like earning some goodwill points in front of his students. As Jiang Yongnian had said, he needed to avoid a large number of complaints...
Ye Hanjun didn’t really care about it.
Including the lost three Grass Rabbit Paste, what was gained unexpectedly was lost unexpectedly. As long as he was in a good mood, the return didn’t matter.
"Where to go next? Perhaps I should consider ways to make money, right?"
While pondering, his eyebrows suddenly twitched.
"Master Han, wait for me!"
The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, followed by a dash of pink from far and near, the dust stirred up by it made the branches on both sides of the road rustle.
He turned around and raised his chin.
The girl who appeared in his sight had short green hair hanging over her ears, her watery brown pupils were as clear and bright as a lake hidden in them.
Her physique was incredibly healthy, her wheat-colored skin complemented the sun’s radiance.
Her chest was full, waist slim, thighs round, and calves long. A typical hourglass figure, full of vitality, youthful, and beautiful.
"Whew!"
Clasping the neck of the pink ostrich tightly, Su Mei slowed down the galloping big ostrich upon receiving her command.
Soon, it stopped completely.
Su Mei jumped down from the ostrich’s back, her sparkling eyes hid a hint of expectation and a trace of apprehension.
"Master Han! I was wondering if you would be interested in accepting my paid consultation?"
"Oh?"
Ye Hanjun was curious. The class was over. What was the girl’s intention in chasing after him?
She caught his interest with her opening statement.
"A paid consultation?"
"Yes!"
Su Mei nodded vigorously, expressing half admiration and half respect:
"Master Han, I had no idea that you were an assistant last time..."
"I thought you were amazing then. You could diagnose Tuotuo’s out-of-control situation just by communicating through words."
"Today’s class was an eye-opener, and it has further solidified my resolve."
After a pause of three seconds, Su Mei looked down at her toes.
Her high spirits fell suddenly, murmuring her story:
"I encountered a bottleneck in the process of taming Tuotuo recently and fell into self-doubt."
"From the moment I made a contract with Tuotuo, he was a Mud-cast fetus with small achievement. Half a year has passed, and he remains at this stage."
"Although he has daily training, the food and nutrition he consumes should be keeping up."
"Including last time." Su Mei recalled vividly, "Last time, Master Han, you also mentioned that Tuotuo was just one step away from evolving significantly."
"But no matter what I try, not only is it hard for his stage to improve, but Tuotuo also struggles to learn new skills."
"After much deliberation, it seems like I can’t fix it just by myself."
"I was thinking, can I hire someone skilled to guide me and provide practical advice..."
"So—" Ye Hanjun’s mouth twitched slightly, "you want to ask for my help?"
"Would Master Han be willing to?"
Su Mei looked up, her eyes glittering with anticipation:
"I believe you have what it takes!"
"I can offer remuneration, I hope you will seriously consider it, please!"
"With so many college mentors, isn’t there any who can help you?" Ye Hanjun half-smiled.
"There are many." Su Mei said embarrassingly:
"But they are too busy. Even during their occasional off-hours, there are many students who are more talented than me and deserve their efforts."
"And I am just an ordinary knight, and Tuotuo is just an ordinary Mud-cast fetus. We can’t get much attention..."
"Hmm..." Ye Hanjun rubbed his chin, glancing at the pink ostrich.
Although Tuotuo was staring with bright eyes, the silly vibe was undisguisable.
"Tell me, how much remuneration can you offer?"
He was just worrying about ways to earn money. If the price was acceptable, he might consider it.
"One hundred... one hundred and fifty Lower Quality Spirit Stones!"
The expression on Su Mei’s face was a bit tense as she stuttered:
"I don’t know if it’s enough... This is all the spare money I can allocate recently..."
"One hundred and fifty?"
Ye Hanjun wasn’t too surprised. He crossed his arms and began thinking.
At this stage, there were too many areas of lacking funds.
The old habit of being generous should be broken as soon as possible. Solid doing and honest work are the top choices for wealth-building.
Low Quality Spirit Stones, neither too many nor too few.
For the most common students of Canghai Pavilion, 20-30 per month is already enough to meet basic living expenses.
Su Mei could come up with so much all at once. If it’s all sponsored by her family, then they could be considered a small wealthy family.
"Is... it not enough?"
Seeing that Ye Hanjun didn’t say a word, Su Mei became more uneasy.
She took a light breath and tried to appear calm:
"If that’s not enough... Master Han can help based on this remuneration."
"Regardless of whether I can see a clear return, I am willing to try."
"Because... Master Han has helped me and Tuotuo before."
"I have full faith in Master Han, and I hope Master Han seriously considers my request."
Ye Hanjun reflected, smiling slightly:
"You are the first one who actively seeks my ’instruction’ ..."
"When there’s no need to look for rewards, not to look for results, and just asking me to point out a path... why should I reject such an easy deal?"
"Master Han agreed?!"
Su Mei exclaimed, her earlier restraint completely gone.
When a radiant and charming smile bloomed on her face, it was like a flower blooming under the sun, dazzling and stunning.
"However——"
Ye Hanjun revealed a faint smile:
"I have here a more interesting ’transaction’, are you interested?"
"The fee you need to pay is the same - 150 Lower Quality Spirit Stones, that won’t change."
"Of course, you need to bear more risks, accordingly, you also have more opportunities..."
Su Mei opened her mouth, rather nervously asked:
"Master Han, what do you mean?"
"Would you like to... become my disciple?"
With no one around, Ye Hanjun didn’t need to hold back and asked softly with a chuckle.
Compared to 150 Lower Quality Spirit Stones, there was obviously something more important worth trying.
For example... a disciple!
Granting the Key of Grey Moon, binding one’s own disciples, using their growth as one’s own foundation, and then promoting the Instructor to the 2nd Order.
Only like this, one day in the future, Huazhu would not be suppressed by his own contract, would not be blocked at the Clay Body stage because his own order was not enough, and unable to Ascend to the Rainbow Light Fetus.
And only in this way, it is possible to advance to the 4th Order earlier.
Only at that time, the second Contract Mark under the Instructor can be obtained, and a contract can be signed with GuaGua, truly forming a bond with the rare Pure Fond Spirits.
Ye Hanjun - the desire to become stronger has always been strong from the beginning to the end.
Whether it is for himself or for trials, the weak have no say, this viewpoint is deeply rooted!
"Become... a disciple?"
Su Mei was puzzled, chewed the words twice, but still had no idea.
"The relationship between mentor and student at Canghai Pavilion is only superficial, not withstand deep scrutiny."
"My official duty requires binding exclusive disciples. Every progress they make contributes to my growth experience."
Ye Hanjun did not shy away from this point, and calmly responded:
"This is a long-term relationship. I can’t give you a definitive answer as to how long."
"But I can promise you that if you become my disciple, I will spare no effort to train you."
"Of course, you should also know that becoming my disciple entails bear a lot of pressure."
"Some pressure comes from my whips and spurs, and some pressure stems from how others perceive you."
"Even, because of my relationship, you will be caught in unimaginable disputes, and could face a risk of death at any time ..."
Ye Hanjun finished speaking leisurely, his serene gaze fixed on Su Mei’s eyes.
It was obvious to him that the little girl was taken aback after hearing his speech.
"Being Master Han’s disciple... is it so terrifying?"
She asked weakly, her expression hesitant for a moment.
At the academy, there were also relationships similar to that of exclusive students.
But such relationships had nothing to do with Abilities, and were mostly verbal or nominal.
Typically, either the student’s family knows a particular instructor.
Whether it’s giving money or making other promises, as long as they maintain a closer student-teacher relationship, the instructor may find time to give special tutorials to specific students.
Consequently, whether it’s imparting knowledge or combat skills, students make rapid progress, which is naturally more efficient than groping alone.
There’s another scenario.
If the student’s family is ordinary and can’t afford to compensate the instructor with benefits.
But if he has a D-level Ability, and his Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits is promising.
Such students are bound to be sought after.
Even if they do not deliberately seek the care of instructors, there will be instructors who will take the initiative to get close to them.
Either with ulterior motives or mutual admiration, they provide help that other students envy.
...
After thinking about it all this time, Su Mei was still confused.
Master Han’s explanation was somehow enigmatic.
Although the Path of Controlling Spirits is indeed full of deceit, a series of competitions need to be cautious.
But this is Canghai Pavilion after all!
In terms of law and order, it’s only second to the Royal City of Blue Frog Kingdom!
With just a Clay Body - Small Achievement Pink Ostrich, and an invisible + weak combo, could it be so risky?
It felt like a little rabbit was kicked in Su Mei’s chest, thumping non-stop.
Her spirit, every moment reminded her.
It seemed she was standing at the crossroads of her life, a wrong step would lead to lifelong regret.
But logically and rationally, she had numerous concerns.
Master Han... isn’t he an assistant?
It’s not that she was looking down on him, she just couldn’t understand.
Why becoming his disciple will bear hell-like pressure?
"Have you thought it through?" Ye Hanjun inquired nonchalantly, "I’m not lying, it could be either a wide-open opportunity or an Asura Purgatory."
"Of course, you can forget what I just said, I will still offer you guidance for a remuneration of 150 Lower Quality Spirit Stones."
"I... " Su Mei lowered her head, her eyes twinkling.
"Since I was a child, for things that the people of my age can remember after reading once, I often have to read it three or five times."
"For some knowledge that is easy to understand, they get it just by casually listening, but I have to analyze and review over and over again."
"I don’t have any special talent, the only thing that kept me going until today is my father’s aphorism ’diligence makes up for one’s dullness.’
"I thought I might have lived an ordinary life in this trajectory."
"Now there’s suddenly an opportunity before me. Though I don’t know what exactly it holds, but..."
Su Mei raised her head, looked into Ye Hanjun’s eyes, and mustered up courage to say:
"I want to give it a try!"
"Even if I have to stake my life!"
