Chapter 9 The Mother-Child River
"I understand, teacher." Tang San believed Yu Xiaogang's words without a doubt.
Moreover, Ye Qinghe insulted his teacher and slandered him as ungrateful.
From beginning to end, he had no intention of dealing with the other party.
Ye Qinghe, who was doing push-ups on the playground, saw Tang San and his apprentice approaching. He smiled coldly to himself, got up to greet them, and feigned complete astonishment. "Tang San, are you going to obtain a spirit ring?"
"So what if I am!" Tang San gave Ye Qinghe a cold look.
"Alright, Xiao San, it's getting late, let's hurry up and go." Yu Xiaogang didn't even bother to pay attention to Ye Qinghe, and turned to leave with Tang San.
Ye Qinghe seemed not to hear Yu Xiaogang and blocked Tang San's way again. "Tang San, you can't go with him. Even if you really want to hunt for spirit rings, you should go to the teachers at the academy, not this 'master'. I don't know how strong the 'master's' theories are, but I know that his strength is definitely not strong. A level 29 Great Spirit Master, his spirit is just a pig that can only fart. If you go with him like this, you will definitely encounter danger. No matter how much we don't get along, I can't bear to watch you go with him and die in vain."
These words can be described as 'sincere and heartfelt'.
Even Tang San had a fleeting moment when he felt that the person in front of him wasn't as bad as he had imagined.
But when it reached Yu Xiaogang's ears, it was extremely jarring.
Although he always "strikes hard at home but is weak and powerless abroad", he becomes more aggressive than ever when others are weaker than him. To put it bluntly, he bullies the weak and fears the strong.
Upon hearing Ye Qinghe's words, Yu Xiaogang could no longer hold back and angrily retorted, "Enough, Ye Qinghe! Xiao San is my disciple, and I will take responsibility for him. It's none of your business."

"Oh, then you can go. I just hope that when you encounter spirit beasts, you can truly protect your disciples, instead of being protected by them."
Seeing Yu Xiaogang unleash her emotional energy, Ye Qinghe, having achieved his goal, stopped trying to stop her and turned back to continue his training.
This sudden change caught Tang San somewhat off guard. He hesitated for a moment before asking Yu Xiaogang, "Teacher, what about us..."
"Alright, let's go. Don't worry about him. I'm still confident I can handle a mere number one spirit ring."
Yu Xiaogang patted his head and gave him a reassuring smile. She seemed to feel much better after she had just 'shooed away' Ye Qinghe.
.........
As the sun gradually rose from the east, Ye Qinghe, who had stopped cultivating, was almost completely soaked in sweat.
He took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and began his daily cultivation.
There are no classes today because it's the opening ceremony.
After attending the opening ceremony, Ye Qinghe entrusted Wang Sheng and the others to help him complete his work-study program. In return, Ye Qinghe would give them the wages he received.
This is something that students who are struggling financially are naturally happy to do.
Two classes in the morning.
One lesson is for learning cultural knowledge, and another is for learning martial arts spirit.
In his spare time, Ye Qinghe cultivates the Heavenly Gang Technique to enhance his soul power.
During lunch break, I quickly ate my food and then went to the library to read books and learn about the spirit beasts and human geography of this world.
In the afternoon, they would go to the small woods behind the mountain to practice the fist and foot techniques and Huayang needlework that came with the Tiangang Technique.
It is worth mentioning that the needles used for practicing Huayang acupuncture were specially ordered by Ye Qinghe from a blacksmith shop yesterday when he went out to buy bedding.
Each one is made of pure iron. There are ten for every gold soul coin. Ye Qinghe knows the principle of not flaunting wealth, so he only ordered one hundred for the time being, which is enough for now.
In the evening, Ye Qinghe returned to his dormitory, took a shower, and went to bed to meditate and cultivate.
midnight.
While everyone in the dormitory was asleep, he secretly slipped out of the dormitory and went to Yu Xiaogang's residence. Using the Huayang Needle, he pried open Yu Xiaogang's door and poured half a bottle of Mother River water into his kettle.
Then he returned to his dormitory to continue his cultivation, without anyone noticing.
............
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
Ye Qinghe had not seen Tang San and Yu Xiaogang since the morning of the first day of school.
Xiao Wu also disappeared. After her buttock injury healed, she took leave from the academy. Unsurprisingly, she went to find a place to condense her soul ring.
On this day, Ye Qinghe was exercising on the playground as usual when two figures, one old and one young, walked out of the school gate. They were none other than Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, master and apprentice.
Compared to when they left, the two looked much more disheveled, especially Yu Xiaogang, whose eye sockets were sunken, her face was pale, and she looked weak and listless.
Upon seeing Ye Qinghe, both Tang San and Yu Xiaogang looked quite displeased, because Ye Qinghe had accurately predicted everything.
They encountered a nearly four-hundred-year-old Mandragora Serpent. Yu Xiaogang was no match for it, and if Tang San hadn't had a silent hidden arrow, the two of them might have died in the Soul Hunter Forest.
"Oh dear, Master, are you alright? Did you encounter a hundred-year-old soul beast? Why did you do this? I told you long ago, your pig-like spirit is no match for a soul beast. You still acted so recklessly. Tell me, it doesn't matter if you die, after all, your spirit is just a pig, and your innate soul power is only half a level. But if you implicate and kill my Tang brothers, our academy will lose a genius with full innate soul power. What a loss to the future of the soul master world..."
Upon seeing them, Ye Qinghe rushed forward and grabbed Yu Xiaogang, giving her a thorough beating.
"What did you say?" Yu Xiaogang was so angry with Ye Qinghe that her face turned from green to purple, and finally she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
This was caused by Ye Qinghe calling him a pig repeatedly.
【Yu Xiaogang's resentment +88888】
【Yu Xiaogang's resentment +128888】
"Gangzi is truly a great philanthropist, contributing over 200,000 emotion points in one go."
Ye Qinghe was overjoyed.
But Tang San couldn't stand it anymore. "Enough, Ye Qinghe. Please show some respect to my teacher, or don't blame me for bullying you and being impolite."
Tang San's rage +888
"I meant well. But this is the first time I've ever seen a teacher hiding behind students and needing their protection. Whatever makes you happy."
Seeing that Tang San only had such a low emotional value, Ye Qinghe felt bored, pursed his lips, and turned around to continue training.
His words once again broke down Yu Xiaogang's defenses.
【Yu Xiaogang's resentment +188888】
Yu Xiaogang glanced at Ye Qinghe, who had returned to the playground and was sweating profusely, and a self-deprecating and bitter smile appeared on her face: "Xiao San, am I really as useless as Ye Qinghe said?"
Tang San said resolutely, "No, Master is not a waste. Besides, I said long ago that for a disciple, the Master's strength is never the most important thing; knowledge is. If it weren't for Master's theory of spirit mimicry, I wouldn't have obtained such a top-grade spirit ring this time, which would have given my Blue Silver Grass attack power and made me a control-type spirit master."
