The room fell silent for a moment.

The candlelight flickered again, reflecting two small flames in Yun Yi's pupils.

He neither denied nor admitted it.

She simply placed the "Introduction to Meridians" in her hand beside her pillow, then raised her head and looked directly at the old man opposite her with the eyes of a three-year-old child.

"so what?"

"Therefore, I wish to take you as my disciple."

The old man spoke casually, as if he were saying that the weather was nice today.

"I originally planned to come when you were twelve."

He said to himself, "Three years old is still too young."

"If the muscles and bones haven't fully developed and the meridians aren't clear, it's difficult to teach anything."

"My original plan was to let you grow up peacefully in Luozhou City until you were twelve years old, enjoy all the blessings you should have, and then come back to take you away."

He paused for a moment, his gaze lingering on Yun Yi's brow for two seconds.

"But you're in too much of a hurry."

"In two and a half years, you've finished reading a book that an ordinary person couldn't finish in a lifetime."

"At this rate, by the time I teach you when you're twelve, there probably won't be much left to teach you."

Yun Yi froze on the spot.

He didn't hear a single word the old man said after that.

His entire attention was focused on the glance the other person had given him between the eyebrows and in his mind.

really?

His "innate seed of enlightenment" is something that was conceived from the entry.

How could people in this world possibly—

At the same time, the old man looked at Yun Yi's appearance and a slight, almost imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He certainly didn't actually see what was in the other person's sea of ​​consciousness.

But years of observation led him to a nearly certain conclusion.

This child has a habit—every time he finishes reading, he will subconsciously close his eyes and enter a brief meditative state.

Others might just treat it as a review, but he did it differently.

He had some extraordinary encounters in his early years, and a strange object that could accelerate his cultivation resided in his body.

After each practice session, he would subconsciously examine his inner self.

And this child's reaction was exactly the same as his back then.

The timing and duration of closing his eyes, the changes in his micro-expressions—every detail tells him the same answer.

It doesn't matter if you guess wrong.

He didn't say anything, he just glanced at her.

At this moment, Yun Yi had cursed Paradise countless times in his heart.

He already held the Return Crystal in his hand, ready to crush it at any moment.

He finally understood something.

Missions deemed "impossible" by the park are either from an absurd world or from an absurd opponent.

He had previously guessed it was the latter, but now he has finally confirmed it.

There's something wrong with this world.

He previously thought this world was just an ordinary martial arts world.

There must be things in this world that he doesn't know about now.

more importantly.

He never imagined that someone could see through the [Seed of Innate Enlightenment].

Of course, the other party probably didn't see through his entry directly—according to the entry's description, this seed was just a byproduct of the entry's development.

Even so, being able to detect its existence is already incredibly incredible.

This damn paradise.

I know I want to accomplish a task that has been deemed "impossible".

That world must be complicated, but this is just too complicated.

But after calming down, Yun Yi also realized something.

Based on the patterns of the previous two worlds, his status has never been low.

Judging from the circumstances of this world, his status as a merchant can be considered quite low.

His house was the kind of place where a chivalrous knight could raid it at any moment.

However, if his task is deemed "impossible" by the park, then his opponent cannot be too weak.

After all, if we take the first world as a reference.

That opponent was absolutely ridiculously strong.

His identity cannot be limited to just that.

After all, this does not conform to the "fair" mechanism of the Reincarnation Paradise.

unless.

His true starting point was never Yunwantong.

It was the old man who wanted to take him as his apprentice.

The old man's smile deepened as he looked at Yun Yi's appearance.

He didn't urge him, but jumped off the table, walked to the bookshelf, randomly picked out a book, flipped through a couple of pages, and then put it back.

My surname is Jiang.

With his back to Yun Yi, he spoke in a flat tone, as if he were talking about something trivial.

"I've long forgotten your name."

"Some people have called me the True Martial Emperor, some have called me the Great Void Daoist, and there are too many to count."

"Later I felt that these titles were too troublesome, so I just let them call me Old Jiang."

He turned around, leaned against the bookshelf, and crossed his arms.

"I have never taken on any disciples in my entire life."

"Perhaps I happened to be passing by when you were born, and a thought arose in my mind, or perhaps the way I look at you now is exactly the same as my own."

"But no matter what, my decision will not change."

Yun Yi remained silent for a while after listening.

"It's possible to become an apprentice."

He looked up, staring directly into Old Jiang's eyes with the gaze of a three-year-old child. "But you need to provide some proof, can't you?"

"Otherwise, how can I believe it?"

Yunyi's meaning was clear—Old Deng, becoming his apprentice is no problem, but you have to give me some gold coins.

Yun Yi knew he couldn't resist the idea of ​​becoming an apprentice.

The power gap is too great.

Since we can't resist it, we might as well enjoy it.

Not to mention, the old man could see through the existence of the seed in his mind—even though he still couldn't understand how the other party could see it.

But at least one thing is certain: until he truly matures, the other reincarnators cannot harm him.

After all, no matter how powerful other reincarnators are, they can't all be without the need for growth, right?

Not to mention, the chances of those people guessing that he was a Level 1 Authority user are extremely slim.

Upon hearing this, Old Jiang raised an eyebrow slightly.

He's lived for so many years, what hasn't he seen?

A three-year-old child, who was warily eyeing him one second, was now brazenly demanding a treat the next—this shamelessness and temperament were somewhat reminiscent of his younger days.

"prove?"

Old Jiang looked at Yun Yi with a half-smile, "What kind of proof do you want?"

Yun Yi remained expressionless, his face serious:

"When a master accepts a disciple, there must be a formal apprenticeship ceremony, right? That's the rule."

rule.

Old Jiang almost laughed at those two words.

Just a moment ago, this kid was so resistant, but now he's even calling me "Master." He's changed pretty quickly.

However, he didn't expose it; instead, he found it even more interesting.

For a three-year-old child to be able to quickly adjust their mindset in this situation and turn passivity into initiative is a rare skill even for an adult, let alone a toddler who has just been weaned.

"OK."

Old Jiang didn't waste any words, "What do you want?"

This is exactly what Yunyi was waiting for.

"Book."

Without hesitation, he said, "Martial arts manuals, cultivation techniques, the more the better."

Old Jiang glanced at him, a hint of understanding in his eyes.

This child doesn't want gold and silver jewelry, nor powerful weapons; he wants books.

Just like his behavior over the past two and a half years—this child's thirst for knowledge bordered on greed.

"Wait."

Old Jiang left those two words behind and turned to leave.
