Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Pill Devouring, I am the True Path of the Tang Sect

Teacher Zhao called out to Qin Qi.

"Okay, Xiaowu, Wang Sheng, you two go eat first."

Qin Qi greeted Xiao Wu and the others, and then followed the teacher to the office.

In the office, Teacher Zhao looked at Qin Qi, sighed, and looked worried.

"Huh? You sighed and started to attack. What's wrong?"

Qin Qi was taken aback when he saw Teacher Zhao sighing without saying a word. He felt that things seemed quite serious.

Chapter 30: When the phoenix perches on a parasol tree, strength is the foundation of everything!

"No, Teacher Zhao, if you have something to say, please say it. Don't just sigh and remain silent!"

Qin Qi asked.

"Do I need to tell you? Don't you know it yourself?"

"You were so impressive and powerful when we sparred before, taking on more than a dozen people at once."

"But have you thought about the consequences of doing this?"

Teacher Zhao looked at Qin Qi, her words were blaming him, but her eyes were full of concern.

"The consequences... could it be that those guys are still not satisfied and are planning to put a sack over my head in the middle of the night?!"

Qin Qi immediately realized this. If it were him, he would definitely have used a club to knock him out of the way or launched a sneak attack.

If you can't win a direct confrontation, then you have to resort to a sneak attack.

No, that's not it.

Teacher Zhao looked at Qin Qi with a strange expression. Why would this child think of this?

This is an academy, not a triad society.

"What I'm saying is that those sixth-grade students are all from aristocratic families or merchant families."

“They had previously tried to befriend you, so you should take the opportunity to cultivate good relationships with them and build your network.”

"But now you've beaten them all up like this."

"How are you going to associate with them and build your own network?"

Teacher Zhao knew that Qin Qi was a work-study student with no background or resources, so she thought that Qin Qi should try to build good relationships with those aristocratic children.

Having an extra connection in the future will make things easier when problems arise.

That's it?

Qin Qi looked at Teacher Zhao and asked.

"Yes, that's it. Even though you're still young, it's always good to build connections as early as possible."

Teacher Zhao spoke up.

"Teacher Zhao, you startled me! I thought something serious had happened."

"This is such a small matter, there's no need to worry about it."

Qin Qi laughed. When Teacher Zhao sighed and started to act just now, he thought something serious had happened.

So that's all?

"It's nothing, Qin Qi!"

Teacher Zhao's expression turned serious: "Do you know how difficult the path of a Soul Master is?"

"Having talent doesn't mean you'll always have a smooth journey. You can't be so reckless just because you have talent!"

Teacher Zhao really couldn't bear to see Qin Qi go down the wrong path. She truly hoped that Qin Qi could go further and longer!

"Teacher Zhao, trust me, nothing will happen."

"Not only are they fine, they're even more polite to me."

Qin Qi said with a smile.

"I'm not kidding you."

Teacher Zhao spoke seriously.

"If you don't believe me, come with me to the cafeteria. If I'm right, you'll treat me to a meal."

"If I'm wrong, then whatever you say is true."

Qin Qi spoke up.

"It's okay to treat you to a meal, but Qin Qi, this is no joke; it concerns your future."

"Okay, okay, I understand. Teacher, please come with me."

Before Teacher Zhao could even begin her lesson, Qin Qi grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the office, heading towards the cafeteria.

"Wow, so strong! So fast!"

Teacher Zhao was startled when she was suddenly pulled up, but then she showed a surprised expression.

Qin Qi's strength and speed are not what a six-year-old child should have!

"Hey, I'll go with you, okay? Just walk slowly and don't run around on campus."

Teacher Zhao looked at Qin Qi, sighed, and spoke in a gentle tone.

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

We arrived at the cafeteria in no time.

At this moment, the sixth-grade students who had been defeated by Qin Qi had recovered and were sitting in the cafeteria eating and chatting.

As soon as Qin Qi and his teacher walked up to the second floor, everyone's eyes were drawn to them.

Looking at the students around her, Teacher Zhao felt a little nervous for some reason, as if she was nervous for Qin Qi.

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems."

Qin Qi smiled and strode towards the food serving window.

"Junior, what do you want to eat? It's on me."

"Hey junior, I have some small cakes here, do you want some?"

"Junior, you're really skilled. I admit defeat wholeheartedly. Let's have another match sometime."

The sixth-grade students didn't hate or ostracize Qin Qi; on the contrary, they became even more enthusiastic.

They proactively paid for Qin Qi's meals and even invited him to their home.

"Thank you all, but I have a dinner appointment with my teacher, so I'm sorry."

Qin Qi exchanged a few polite words, then led Teacher Zhao to a corner table to sit down.

"Teacher Zhao, what do you think? I wasn't wrong, was I?"

Qin Qi said with a smile.

"How...how could this be? Aren't they angry at all?"

Looking at those once arrogant sixth-grade students, Ms. Zhao's eyes were full of doubt.

They were provoked like this, yet they weren't angry at all and even took the initiative to make amends. What's going on?

"Teacher Zhao, you were right when you said that these formal students all come from wealthy and powerful families."

"That's why they learned how to interact with people and read between the lines long ago."

"They only associate with people of their own social class; other people simply can't get into their circle."

"They befriend me simply because they value my talent and my future."

Qin Qi spoke while eating.

"Don't talk while eating, you might choke. Either eat properly or talk properly."

Teacher Zhao frowned as she looked at Qin Qi and spoke.

"okay, I get it."

Qin Qi nodded and swallowed the food in his mouth.

"If I want to build connections, what I need is not to please them, but to demonstrate sufficient power!"

"What's that saying again? 'When there's a parasol tree in the house, the phoenix will naturally roost.' If I perform well enough, countless people will want to get close to me."

"On the contrary, if I am not strong enough, then no matter how hard I try to please them or cater to them."

“In their hearts, I will always be just a part-time worker, a gofer, and will never be respected.”

Qin Qi understood this principle clearly: the prerequisite for you to build a good relationship with someone is that you are on the same social class.

A true dragon will not live with a mudfish, a cat will not befriend a mouse, and a wolf will not play with a sheep!

"It seems that this time it was actually me who was wrong, teacher."

Looking at Qin Qi, Teacher Zhao suddenly felt that Qin Qi's small figure had become enormous.

That youthful face hardened, realizing he had been misled by so-called connections.

But Qin Qi saw through the essence at a glance: only with strength can you have connections; without strength, everything is just empty talk!

The most recent example is that master.

"Teacher, you've admitted defeat, so I'll consider this a win. You owe me a meal, okay?"

Qin Qi is currently eating a mixture of food donated by others. Apart from the rice, which he prepared himself, everything else was given to him by others.

So we haven't even had the meal the teacher treated us to yet.

"Yes, yes, you did get a gold soul coin before, so why do you look so poor?"

"At the very least, buy yourself a decent set of clothes."

Teacher Zhao looked at Qin Qi's clothes, which were still patched, and she spoke.

"Um……"
