Chapter 1188: Xiao Tu’s Predicament

All of the Dragon Tribe powerful beings silently awaited the light that would descend upon them to take them back home.

Too many things had happened during the past two days, and they simply didn’t feel like fighting anymore.

Furthermore, they had received information from a reliable source that killing other dragons wouldn’t earn them any power of dragons anymore, so what was the point?

As such, all of them split up into their respective groups and surveyed the other group with cautious expressions.

An Lin was sitting on his huge black brick, discussing a very important matter with a few other Dragon Tribe mighty figures.

That important matter was how Xiao Tu would be able to go to the Tai Chu Continent!

He was different from all of the other living beings here. He had traveled all the way here from the Ancient Tai Chu Realm as this place had the strongest connection with the Tai Chu Continent.

However, he hadn’t arrived here through the passageway between the two worlds from the Tai Chu Continent, so the light that would bring everyone back would not shine down upon him! After all of the Dragon Tribe powerful beings left, he would be the only one remaining in this bleak, desolate world…

However, there was a solution to this.

An Lin knew this as he had tried this one in the Ancient Tai Chu Realm already.

Xiao Tu was very animated. “Mr. An Lin, I have no one to inherit all of my techniques, so you should become my disciple! I will pass on my dao of indestructibility to you, and I assure you that you won’t even be able to die even if you wanted to!”

“Piss off!” An Lin snapped without any hesitation.

He was an exceptional sword immortal that would not bow to anyone! He had no plans to accept a master anytime soon.

Ao Meng became excited upon hearing this. “Senior Xiao Tu, I have a bunch of sons and daughters here, all of whom are outstanding prodigies! Would you like to consider them as potential candidates to become your disciple?”

Xiao Tu snapped, “F*ck off! Are you trying to force me to renounce the decree of my ancestors? Different branches of the Dragon Tribe cannot pass on their teachings to one another, and those of different surnames within the Dragon Tribe cannot establish master and disciple relationships!”

Xiao Tu then glanced at Xiao Ze with disappointment on his face. If it weren’t for the fact that Xiao Ze had already signed a disciple contract with An Lin, he would have been the ideal choice…

It was a pity that one could only have one master.

Since Xiao Ze wasn’t able to sign a contract, it wouldn’t be bad to have An Lin as a human disciple as that would not go against the teachings of his ancestors.

However, An Lin refused without any hesitation.

“Senior Xiao Tu, how about you become my disciple or my beast pet?

“Look at how well Xiao Ze is doing under my tutelage. He has even mastered the power of the divine dao! Furthermore, Tina and Xue Zhantian, who came back with me from the Ancient Tai Chu Realm, have both progressed to the Return to Void Stage. It’s quite clear that I’m a very good master to both disciples and beast pets alike!” An Lin patted his chest with a smug expression.

Xiao Tu’s lips twitched upon hearing this.

How shameless did An Lin have to be in order to say something like this?

The light that would take them back to their original world could also take effect on all living beings that were bound to them by contract. An Lin had used this method in the past to take Xiao Ze, Tina, and Xue Zhantian from the Ancient Tai Chu Realm.

It was very simple.

However, neither An Lin nor Xiao Tu wanted to resort to becoming the disciple of the other, so things had come to a bit of a dead-end.

“I’m not in any hurry. You should think carefully about this, Senior Xiao Tu.” An Lin lay down on the black brick and began to whistle as he closed his eyes with a content expression.

Xiao Tu was absolutely fuming upon seeing this.

That’s right, he was the one in need here!

Signing a contract or not made zero difference to An Lin.

Once the light shone down upon him, he would be able to get out of this place regardless of what happened.

Xiao Ze was feeling quite sympathetic at the sight of Xiao Tu’s conflicted expression, and he made his way over to offer some words of persuasion.

“Senior Xiao Tu, you don’t actually need to feel so aggrieved about this. It’s actually pretty good to become Master’s disciple, you just need to think about it from a different perspective.”

Xiao Tu’s brows furrowed. “What perspective is that?”

“Is someone capable of mending the heavens bad*ss or not?” Xiao Ze asked.

Xiao Tu nodded. “Yes.”

“My master can mend the heavens. Do you think he’s bad*ss?” Xiao Ze asked again.

Xiao Tu knew where Xiao Ze was going with this, and he didn’t want to admit it, but he had to concede in the end. “I do.”

“Is someone capable of controlling divine lightning bad*ss or not?” Xiao Ze continued to ask.

Xiao Tu was astonished. “An Lin can control divine lightning?”

“An Lin’s title as Lord of Transcendence is renowned across the entire Tai Chu Continent! You can ask any Dragon Tribe mighty figures, and they’ll be able to verify this,” Xiao Ze replied with a proud expression.

Xiao Tu turned toward the Dragon Tribe mighty figures around them, and all of the mighty figures that had heard their conversation nodded in affirmation. This was clearly a well-known fact.

Xiao Tu: “That is very bad*ss!”

Xiao Ze splayed his hands open. “My master can mend the heavens and control divine lightning. Why are you reluctant to accept such a bad*ss master?”

Xiao Tu gritted his teeth. “But… but he’s only a Soul Formation Stage cultivator…”

“Isn’t it even more impressive that a Soul Formation Stage cultivator can do all of these things?” Xiao Ze continued by asking another question.

Xiao Tu opened his mouth, but he had no response to this.

What watertight logic!

“But… but he’s so young. I’m a dragon that has lived for countless years, and I’m old enough to be an ancient ancestor of his.” Xiao Tu was still putting up a final bout of resistance.

Xiao Ze spoke with a smile, “Is age a problem? I’ve also lived for countless years, just like you! I’m also not afraid to tell you that among all of my master’s beast pets and slaves, none of them are younger than him! After all… my master is only in his early twenties!

“He’s only in his early twenties, but he’s already more bad*ss than dragons like us, who have lived for countless years! Following an exceptional prodigy like this is a fantastic opportunity! Are you sure you want to pass up on it?”

Xiao Ze’s words were like claps of thunder exploding in Xiao Tu’s head.

Xiao Tu’s mouth gaped open in astonishment. “I’ve lived for countless years, but I can’t even compare to a twenty-year-old boy… For some reason, I’m suddenly feeling a crushing sense of self-pity…”

“That’s ok, my master won’t look down on you! My bad*ss master is willing to accept you as his disciple and take you to greater heights!” Xiao Ze urged with excitement.

“Really?” Xiao Tu’s breathing accelerated. “An Lin won’t look down on me? He’s willing to accept someone like me as his disciple?”

A difficult expression appeared on Xiao Ze’s face. “We might have to confirm that with my master…”

Everyone had fallen completely silent at this point.

Ao Meng and Ao Qingyu’s eyeballs were about to bulge out of their sockets.

Xu Xiaolan, Long Aotian, and the others all drew sharp intakes of breath, feeling as if they had insufficient brain capacities to comprehend what had just transpired.

Actually, just what had transpired?

Why was Xiao Tu now begging An Lin for the opportunity to become his disciple?!

Had this world gone insane?!

This was some next level brainwashing!!

At this moment, An Lin made his way toward them with a benevolent smile on his face. “As long as you’re serious about accepting me as your master, I won’t look down on you for your age or anything like that. I am willing to accept you as my disciple as long as you have an unyielding dao seeking heart.”

Xiao Tu nodded with excitement. “Don’t worry, I’ve only been trapped at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage for so long due to the environment I’m in. I won’t let you down once I get out of here!”

An Lin nodded.

Thus, An Lin and Xiao Tu happily established a disciple contract.

Of course, An Lin was the master, whereas Xiao Tu was the disciple…
