But I've also gained a lot; learning is truly a delightful thing.

"Second Grandfather, there's something I've been keeping from you, but I think it's time to tell you now."

Qin Qi's expression suddenly turned serious. He was about to tell Tang Jiaren a secret that he had kept hidden for a long time.

"No need to say more, I know everything. You've probably arrived in a completely different world from ours."

"I already guessed that."

Tang Jiaren waved his hand. He really didn't know anything about time travel, but in ancient literature...

There are also stories of dreaming of wealth and power, ascending to heaven in broad daylight, or accidentally arriving at the Peach Blossom Spring.

"No, that's not what I meant."

Qin Qi was taken aback; he felt that Tang Jiaren had misunderstood.

"Alright, Second Grandfather, I'm not a pedantic person. Back in the day, when foreign knowledge was introduced to us..."

“Your second great-grandfather has been in contact with them for a long time. I’ve even met foreigners. I also know that they have a magic school called Hogwarts.”

Tang Jiaren waved his hand, then pointed to his old-fashioned suit. He was a trendy old man who could keep up with the times.

"No, Second Master, that's not what I meant. I meant this: Dan Shi."

Qin Qi looked at Tang Jiaren, who was beginning to recount his past, sighed, and reached out to condense a Dan Shi.

"Dan Shi?!"

Tang Jiaren stared at Qin Qi for a long time, then stared at Qin Qi's palm for a long time, and finally revealed an extremely puzzled expression.

"A sin!"

Tang Jiaren stared at the traces for a long time and finally found them. He showed a very regretful expression.

"It's a tragedy that you have to learn this kind of thing at such a young age!"

Tang Jiaren pounded his leg hard. Listening to Qin Qi's description, he felt that the Tang Clan was now living a good life.

But now it seems that's not the case. Such young children are already learning Dan Shi (a martial arts technique), which is risking their lives!

"No, Second Grandfather, listen to me! Don't interrupt! Shut up and listen to me!"

Qin Qi couldn't stand it any longer and interrupted Tang Jiaren, then began to recount what had happened.

It tells the story of martial spirits and the Douluo Continent, and recounts how he directly awakened the Pill Devouring Technique.

"This is so simple!"

"Sigh, if only the other children in our Tang Clan could be like that, then none of us would have to die!"

After hearing Qin Qi's words, Tang Jiaren's first thought was that it would be great if other members of the Tang Clan could learn this method.

In this way, people won't have to risk their lives to learn Dan Shi.

"Yes, it's a pity I don't know if I'll be able to go back."

Qin Qi sat next to Tang Jiaren. He was a little homesick, unlike Tang San, the orphan who was being hunted down by the Tang Clan.

He has family in the Tang Clan: his father, mother, grandparents, uncles, and cousins.

Although there were problems inside the door, everyone was still like a family, and the atmosphere was very friendly.

"Don't worry, your second great-grandfather is here with you. If you encounter any trouble, just tell your second great-grandfather, and he will help you find a solution."

Tang Jiaren patted Qin Qi on the shoulder again. Now it was just the two of them, father and son, relying on each other for survival.

"Yes, we'll depend on each other for survival. Second Grandfather, you'll take care of me in my old age and see me off when I die!"

Qin Qi spoke seriously.

"Fine, I'll give it to you... Why should I take care of you in your old age or see you off in your final days? You should be the one taking care of me in my old age and seeing me off in my final days!"

Tang Jiaren was initially quite moved, but then he suddenly realized something was amiss: "I'm a 73-year-old man, and I'm here to take care of you until the end."

You're really shameless!

"After all, Second Grandfather, you are already dead. The dead can't die anymore, so you're the only one who can take care of me in my old age and see me off in my final days."

Qin Qi clasped his hands together, revealing a simple and honest smile.

"Get lost, and your smile is awful. You're obviously not a good person."

Tang Jiaren kicked Qin Qi aside, then scratched his head with a simple, honest smile on his face.

"Yes, it doesn't have your honest and simple smile."

Qin Qi spoke up.

............................................................

The next morning, Qin Qi got up as usual, went to class, and then went to the cafeteria for lunch.

During the meal, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Wang Sheng sat at the same table, while Qin Qi went upstairs to buy food and brought it down to eat as well.

"Qin Qi, is it delicious?"

Xiao Wu sat next to Qin Qi, looking at his food, and stared with her big, bright eyes as she spoke.

"It's delicious."

Qin Qi nodded.

Is it really delicious?

Xiao Wu moved closer to Qin Qi again, her eyes widening, and spoke once more.

"Stay away from my food, you're drooling over it."

Qin Qi picked up the plate and moved it a little further away. He knew exactly what Xiao Wu was thinking.

But that's impossible! There's absolutely no way you'll be given any food!

"You bastard, I'm Sister Xiaowu! I'm the boss!"

Xiao Wu immediately pouted angrily, stomped her foot, and said.

"Hmm... how about this, when I have money, I'll treat you to carrots on the second floor!"

Qin Qi looked at Xiao Wu and remembered that Xiao Wu had invited him to dinner before. He was silent for a while and then made a serious decision.

"Really? That's great! When will you have the money?"

Xiao Wu spoke up innocently.

"I'll let you know when I have the money. Just wait."

Qin Qi spoke up.

While the two were talking, the master came over and put two chicken legs on Tang San's plate.

"You're still developing, eat more."

After the master finished speaking, he left.

"Eh..."

Wang Sheng opened his mouth, but then looked at Tang San and swallowed back what he wanted to say.

"Fatty, just say what you have to say, why are you beating around the bush?"

Xiao Wu noticed that something was wrong with Wang Sheng, and she said, "Did someone bully you? Tell me, and I'll stand up for you!"

"No, it's not..."

As Wang Sheng spoke, his gaze would occasionally drift towards Tang San. Even Xiao Wu could see that Wang Sheng was being considerate of Tang San.

"Well, I'll go eat over there."

Tang San took the initiative to pick up his plate and went to a table in the distance, deliberately turning his back to everyone.

"Phew, actually it's about the master. I've heard another rumor recently."

After watching Tang San leave, Wang Sheng moved closer to Qin Qi and Xiao Wu, lowered his voice, and began to share gossip.

Chapter 17 The Master's Conspiracy, The First Soul Hunt!

"Actually, the master would attend every time the academy recruited students, but this was not the master's job."

Wang Sheng lowered his voice and spoke quietly to Qin Qi and the others.

Although he lowered his voice, Tang San, who was sitting not far away, still heard it, and his ears twitched slightly.

"Oh, you mean you're actually selecting from the new master students?"

Qin Qi asked.

"That's roughly it. Actually, our academy has had geniuses before, and back then, the master also went to ask them for advice."

"But when they learned that the master had broken through to fifty years old before reaching level thirty, they decisively refused."

Wang Sheng seems like a very honest guy, but he actually knows quite a lot of gossip.

He usually inquires about life in the Seventh Dormitory.

"That was an accident!"

Upon hearing this, Tang San's expression suddenly changed. He recalled the time when the guards at the school gate harassed him and the Grandmaster appeared.

At the time, he thought it was a coincidence that the master appeared and helped them, but now it seems that it may not have been a coincidence!

"No way, according to you, Fatty, that mistress's apprenticeship was entirely a scheme by that master?"

"They took advantage of us being new to the academy and knowing nothing, and then tried to fool us?"

Xiao Wu realized what was happening and spoke directly without lowering her voice.

"It's not exactly hype, is it? The master has written works, after all."

Qin Qi spoke up.

"That's just pure deception. Sister Xiaowu, Brother Qin, you've only just entered school and don't know much about martial spirits."

"But you'll find out after you've been in the academy for a few years that the so-called Ten Core Competitive Theories of Martial Souls are pure nonsense."

Wang Sheng has been in the academy for several years. Although his studies are not particularly good, he still knows these basic knowledge.
