Chapter 12 A Valuable Gift and Qian Daoliu's Promise

Guangling walked directly into the main hall without saying a word, heading straight for his usual spot.

The others noticed the commotion and opened their eyes. They were also taken aback to see that Guangling's condition was no different from before she left.

"Fifth Brother, you're back already? What about the disciple that Big Brother asked you to take on?" Qingluan Douluo couldn't help but ask.

"And here it comes."

Guangling sat back down in her original seat and gestured with her chin towards the door with a blank expression.

Several worshippers also turned their gazes over and saw a handsome young boy step over the threshold somewhat shyly and slowly walk in.

The item was in decent condition, and the worshippers nodded in unison. They had to admit that most people are creatures of appearance, and a good first impression would at least prevent them from developing a negative feeling.

Han Li was still a little nervous under the gaze of the group. These could be said to be the top combat force among humans at present. However, the slight mental pressure mixed in their eyes was not something a child who had not yet cultivated could easily withstand. He felt a chill all over his body, as if he had been seen naked.

He took a deep breath, slowly walked to the center of the main hall, and politely bowed, saying, "This humble one, Han Li, greets all the esteemed elders."

Upon hearing his address, Jin'e and Qingluan frowned slightly and turned their gazes toward Guangling.

The lion spoke up directly: "Fifth brother, what's going on? You didn't tell him anything? Also, this kid is completely naked. You took him as a disciple, and you didn't even give him a basic storage soul tool?"

In front of these people, with Han Li so close to them, even without deliberately paying attention, he had no secrets. Hearing the Lion speak, Qianjun and Jiangmo, who had intended to tease Guangling, exchanged a glance and remained silent.

Guangling snorted and turned her head towards the lion, speaking with slight dissatisfaction: "Fourth Brother, am I the one taking on the apprentice, or are you? Since you think I haven't done a good job as a teacher, then you should just give me the title of senior master."

"Come here, Han Li, this is your Uncle Lion. Just call out to him, and he'll give you a storage soul tool. Hmm, the best kind, the kind that can hold living things." Guang Ling said to Han Li in an unfriendly tone.

Han Li glanced somewhat fearfully at the Lion Douluo who had spoken up for him earlier, then looked in the direction of his teacher, seemingly too afraid to speak.

Guangling snorted again, her tone much harsher: "Didn't you hear me? I told you to say hello."

Han Li seemed somewhat afraid of Guang Ling, so he cupped his hands and bowed to Xiong Shi, saying, "Han Li greets Senior Uncle Xiong Shi."

After hearing Han Li finish speaking, Guang Ling looked in the direction of the lion with a somewhat provocative gaze. She didn't say anything, but the disdain on her face was evident.

The lion was furious, but seeing Guangling's expression, seeing everyone's eyes focused on him, and glancing at Han Li who was still bowing and dared not stand up, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll give it to you. It's just a storage soul tool. I'm not like you, a teacher who's so stingy with his own disciples."

He reached to his waist and a wristband-like object appeared in his hand. With a push of his soul power, it fell into Han Li's hand. However, anyone could see the heartache on his face.

Seeing that the item was already in Han Li's hands, Guang Ling stopped pretending and rushed to his disciple's side. He pressed down on the disciple's straightened body and said with a beaming smile, "Why don't you thank your senior uncle?"

As soon as Guangling made this move, the others instantly realized that their previous guesses were all wrong. This was something he had asked his apprentice to help him trick Xiongshi. It was very likely that it was specifically for the storage bracelet in Xiongshi's hand. No wonder he mentioned something when he spoke earlier.

Hey, you know what, Guangling really is capable of doing something like this. But this also shows that Guangling is quite satisfied with this apprentice; otherwise, he wouldn't specifically target good stuff to scam.

The lion was a little slow to react, but he realized it by now. It seemed he'd have to spar with Guangling in a few days; that kid loved to tease him. He could let it go before, but now that Guangling had embarrassed him in front of a junior, he had to get revenge, or his authority would be completely ruined.

The atmosphere in the offering hall suddenly became lively, and even Qian Daoliu, who hadn't opened his eyes, slightly curled the corners of his mouth. Nothing on this mountain could escape his senses, but he was happy with it. After Xiaoxue went undercover, these people didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of him. Perhaps having a junior was a good thing, as it would bring some vitality to this place.

Seeing that everyone was trying not to laugh, and that the Lion King was glaring at his teacher with eyes blazing with anger, Han Li knew it was his turn to step in. So, he abandoned his previous restraint and bowed generously to the Lion King, saying, "Uncle-Master, before my teacher came, he instructed me that he and you are the closest, so he asked me to help him liven up the atmosphere. My teacher has something to do, and I am happy to oblige. Now that the matter is settled, and this gift is too valuable, please take it back, Uncle-Master."

After saying that, he took a few steps forward and handed the item back with both hands.

The lion hadn't expected Han Li to say that, and he was particularly concerned about the phrase "Guang Ling said he had the best relationship with him." Seeing the kid staring longingly at the wristband, he simply turned his head to the other side and waved.

Out of sight, out of mind!

He said nonchalantly, "Once something is given away, there's no reason to take it back. It's just a storage soul tool; my senior uncle can afford to give it away."

Upon hearing this, Han Li immediately put the wristband on his left hand with great satisfaction. He then channeled a wisp of soul power into it, and the wristband shrank, fitting perfectly against his arm.

"Thank you, Uncle-Master. As expected, Teacher was right. You and he really have a good relationship." Han Li immediately filled in the gap by mentioning his teacher.

"Hey."

Guangling didn't mind, chuckled, and pulled Han Li to stand in front of the Qianjun and Jiangmo brothers, his meaning quite clear.

Han Li stopped pretending and, taking advantage of his childish demeanor, called out "Uncle-Master" before looking at the two elders with innocent, wide eyes.

It has to be said that Guangling's reputation is still very valuable. After just one round, Han Li managed to stuff a lot of good stuff into his newly acquired soul tool.

The Qianjun and Jiangmo brothers were indeed no good; they gave Han Li two cards with a face value of 100,000 gold soul coins, and were looked down upon by Guangling for a long time.

Qingluan Douluo looked at Guangling with a wry smile, handed Han Li a copy of his cultivation manual, and told him that he could come to him for guidance at any time.

When they got to Jin E, Guang Ling didn't dare go over. She just pushed Han Li over. Jin E smiled, didn't say anything, and directly handed him a set of keys and a property certificate. Han Li thought to himself, "Wow, no wonder he's the oldest one. He's really rich."

After completing the circle, Guang Ling suppressed her smile, and together with Han Li, respectfully bowed to Qian Daoliu without saying a word.

Qian Daoliu opened his eyes, looked at the master and disciple who seemed to be cut from the same mold, and smiled for the first time in a long time. He gently patted Han Li's head: "From now on, this will be your home. Cultivate well. I'm not sure what to give you. If you need anything, just tell your teacher. However, you can come to me anytime and make a request. As long as it doesn't violate the Spirit Hall's principles, I'll grant it. How about it?"

To be honest, Han Li was a little dizzy from Qian Daoliu's words, and it wasn't until Guang Ling nudged him that he came to his senses.

"Thank you, Great Venerable One, no, thank you, Senior Uncle."

After Han Li shouted it out, he immediately changed his mind and tried his best to look obedient.jpg.

This time, not only Qian Daoliu, but all the enshrined ones present laughed out loud. Through their interaction just now, they had also begun to realize that Han Li's personality was exactly like a young version of Guang Ling. His pretentious manner was just like Guang Ling back then.

"Alright, good disciple, you go back and keep Xiu'er company first. I'll chat with your uncles and senior brothers for a while and come find you later."

Upon realizing that his dark past might be exposed, Guangling hurriedly summoned a guard and asked him to send Han Li back first, while he stayed in the Hall of Worship to recount his gains.

Han Li had the same idea. He was also worried that Xiu'er would be scared if she stayed alone for too long. So he didn't refuse and politely said goodbye to all the offerings before following the guards toward their future residence.
