Chapter 17 All-Nature
A small town at the foot of the mountain.
riverside.
Li Muxuan glanced at Yuan Jingui, then at Ghost Hand King, his eyes darting around a few times.
Judging from the implied meaning in their words.
This old juggler must have a grudge against Zuo Ruotong.
Zuo Ruotong was renowned and was recognized as a grandmaster and leader of the righteous path, always acting with reason in mind.
I had a grudge against him.
This old man Wang is probably not a good person.
It's not a good thing for me to stay here.
Thinking about this...
Li Muxuan cursed his bad luck inwardly, but showed no sign of it on his face, pretending to be honest as he spoke.
"Seniors, I've returned the bullet to you. I have to go back to class, so I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, he turned his head without looking back, wanting to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible.
However, before he could take more than a few steps, Li Muxuan felt a powerful force coming from him, and his whole body was sent flying backward uncontrollably, landing right in Ghost Hand King's arms.
Then, he felt a hand that felt like dry, old tree bark resting on his wrist.
"Huh, they've already started foundation building."
"No wonder you could see the secret to my ability to turn things upside down; you're a promising talent."
Ghost Hand Wang released Li Muxuan and stroked his few remaining whiskers.
The wrinkles on his face gathered together, revealing a smile as beautiful as a chrysanthemum.
He was initially only interested in Li Muxuan because he thought the boy was clever and pleasing to the eye, but he didn't intend to do anything to him.
Later, Yuan Jingui stirred things up; he just wanted to use this kid to disgust Zuo Ruotong.
But now...
I, Ghost Hand King, have lived most of my life indulging in pleasure, and I didn't even leave myself any offspring when I was young.
Now that I'm old, I want to find a successor, but I haven't found a suitable one yet.
Unexpectedly, during this mission, God delivered such a gem to my doorstep.
God, you've really been kind to me!
Thinking of this.
Ghost Hand King grinned, looking at Li Muxuan and said, "Kid, what's your name? Would you like to learn a trade from this old man?"
Li Muxuan was taken aback upon hearing this, and then quickly shook his head.
Unlike the original story, the current Li Muxuan is also unable to directly enter the Sanyi Sect due to his past actions.
But with Zuo Ruotong's promise, his future is no longer as uncertain as before.
At least, Li Muxuan knew that he would be able to join the Sanyi Sect in two months.
Now that he had already secured a place in the Sanyi Sect, the number one mystical sect in the world, why would he still look down on Ghost Hand King, an unknown martial arts performer?
Of course, I'm a hundred times unwilling.
Shaking his head was his subconscious reaction.
However, seeing that Ghost Hand King's expression was getting worse, Li Muxuan realized what was happening and quickly tried to salvage the situation.
"In reply to your question, senior, my name is Li Muxuan."
"As for learning a craft from you, I am grateful for your kindness, senior. However, such an important matter as becoming an apprentice is beyond my ability to decide. Please allow me to go back and consult my parents first."
After saying that, he turned to leave.
But Ghost Hand King held Li Muxuan's hand tightly, making him unable to move.
Hmph, my Ghost Hand King's unique Wang School technique, which reverses the eight directions, has been sought after by countless people, yet I refuse to teach it to them.
Today I finally decided to take on an apprentice, so how dare you, a mere child who hasn't even grown a beard yet, make excuses?
Upon hearing Li Muxuan's answer, Ghost Hand King curled his lip.
"This name is bad, Mu Xuan, what kind of Mu Xuan is it?"
"Those respectable sects talk about morality and righteousness all day long, but they're nothing compared to the carefree and happy life we have with Quanxing."
Then he gave Li Muxuan what he thought was a gentle expression.
"Little Mu Xuan, don't rush."
"It's right to ask your parents for advice, but I won't let you become an apprentice right now. Why don't you come with me first, and I'll see your talent in this craft."
As he spoke, he ignored Li Muxuan's struggles and dragged him out of town.
Then he said, half threatening and half reassuring.
"Don't worry, as long as you learn the craft from me with your heart, I guarantee you will be able to come back with your hands and feet intact."
Upon hearing this, Li Muxuan frowned.
He didn't know what Quanxing was, nor did he mind Ghost Hand King's mockery of his name.
But the last sentence, judging from Ghost Hand King's words, meant that if he didn't study hard to learn the craft, he was prepared to have his hands and feet cut off.
The situation is better than people.
After Ghost Hand King said that, Li Muxuan dared not struggle anymore.
He secretly decided to play along with the snake for now and wait for an opportunity to escape.
Ghost Hand King carried Li Muxuan by inverting eight directions, with Yuan Jingui following behind, holding his head and swaying.
The two planned to take this unexpected gain to their base in a village near the town.
Not only can he disgust Zuo Ruotong, but he can also take in a disciple with good talent.
Hey, that's great!
It's like trying to catch a needle in a haystack.
But Ghost Hand King's joy was short-lived. Suddenly, he felt a wisp of energy watching him flash past behind him.
Someone is spying on me!
"Who is it?!"
Having roamed the martial world for many years, Ghost Hand King reacted quickly. He turned around abruptly and soon discovered a child staring at him from behind a willow tree in the distance.
This place is already on the edge of the town, and there are few people around.
Ghost Hand King was already acting as he pleased, and here he became even more lawless.
He snorted coldly, reached out and grabbed, several powerful forces like a giant hand, pulling the child from afar towards him.
"Another little baby."
"This old man has really messed up with the kids today."
Ghost Hand King picked up the child and examined him closely.
Only then did they realize that the child looked seven or eight parts like Li Muxuan.
He loosened his grip a bit and asked.
"What is your relationship with Li Muxuan?"
While Ghost Hand King was sizing him up.
On the other side, Li Muxuan, who was still unaware of what had happened, was surprised to find Li Cunzhen suddenly appearing beside him.
"elder brother?!"
"What are you doing here?!"
This all started before Ghost Hand King's performance ended.
At that time, Li Cunzhen had just learned that Li Muxuan had left the academy to watch Ghost Hand King's performance.
The plot of the Under One Person manga immediately came to mind.
In the original story, nothing happened during Ghost Hand King's first meeting with Li Muxuan; they just became acquainted.
But now, Li Muxuan is a quasi-Sanyi Sect member, and his mentality and identity are different from those in the original work.
And the foundation building has already begun.
Li Cunzhen was also unsure what kind of butterfly effect would occur.
To play it safe, he had no choice but to come along in person.
Of course, Li Cunzhen did not follow Ghost Hand King without any preparation.
In fact, he had already spent money to hire several people to go up the mountain to report to his master.
All I need to do is stall for time.
Moreover, no matter what the current situation has become.
Two things are certain.
First of all, Ghost Hand King is not a bloodthirsty person.
Secondly, he wanted to take on disciples, and he also wanted to disgust his master, Zuo Ruotong.
In that case, even if he is discovered, Ghost Hand King will not attack him. In fact, he may even want to pass on the Reversal of Eight Directions to him.
This is the source of Li Cunzhen's confidence to follow.
