The Ascension of Contracted Spirits
Chapter 125 - 115: The Second Kind of Law-Figure-World? (A combination of two into one, 5200 words)_2
"Now, you surely know what you should and shouldn’t have seen." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
"Are you going to unconditionally be my disciples, heading down on a different path in life?"
"Or do you prefer to forever slumber in this sunless cave...?"
Ye Hanjun - his tone remained calm and unruffled.
He wasn’t threatening, just stating the facts.
However, clearly, Li Jingming and Wang Xinfei were utterly astounded, they never expected these words from Assistant Han, who has kept on breaking their beliefs.
"Is it about becoming your disciple, not serving you as a master, becoming your slave and being at your beck and call?"
Wang Xinfei braced herself, mustered the courage to ask.
Logically, seeing what should not be seen, hearing what should not be heard, it would indeed be best to make the other person forever shut up.
But...taking disciples, what’s going on?
Is this a punishment or a rewards? Wang Xinfei was very confused.
"What value is there for me in keeping you as a slave?"
"You hold a D-class authority, decent talent, but you’ve made a mess of things."
"The identity of Miss Wang, might be worth climbing to for others, but for me, it’s just a big hassle, today’s incident with the Four Ghosts Mercenary Group should make that abundantly clear, shouldn’t it?"
Ye Hanjun gave her a glance, indifferent and said:
"As for looks, I won’t deny that you’re pleasing to the eye."
"But I’m sorry, I’ve seen too many, and don’t need you..."
An hour ago, had she heard this evaluation, Wang Xinfei would have been furious, grinding her teeth, and wishing to thrust her Long Spear into the assistant.
But now, her cheek was just slightly sickly pale, she lowered her head bit by bit, keeping silent, unable to speak.
"Li Jingming, I admire you, and I mean it."
"If you become my disciple, I can’t promise that your future will inevitably be illustrious and famed."
"But I can guarantee, what you gain from me, the Blue Frog Country, Red Frog Country, Grass Frog Country, adding all of them together still can’t give it to you."
"This is a grand path fraught with both opportunities and risks, I will lead you on this path, as for how far you can go, it still requires your own efforts and dedication."
"Master Han, I have just one question."
Li Jingming raised his head, his voice cold, seriously asking:
"If I accept you as my master, will you forcefully make me do things that seriously contradict my wishes?"
"As long as you don’t threaten me or those I care about, as long as you don’t betray me, go behind my back."
"Then, your choice will always be in your own hands." Ye Hanjun promised.
"Very well." Li Jingming picked up his robe, kneeled on both knees, respectfully said:
"Master Han, I, Li Jingming, wish to accept you as my master, a day as a teacher, forever a father."
"Very good."
Ye Hanjun slowly walked over to the youth, with no wind blowing, his robes fluttered loud.
"By accepting me as your master, I bestow upon you the Key of the Grey Moon."
"From today, you are the...second disciple of the teaching!"
"Buzz buzz buzz——"
The gray light flickered silently.
Twisted currents of air erupted around Ye Hanjun, Li Jingming bit his tongue, forced himself to calm down, then watched without blinking, as the suddenly appeared gray key inserted itself into his forehead.
Bang!!!
In an instant, the youth had his eyes wide open.
He could vaguely sense, an unclear, untouchable thread, one end connected to him, the other tied to Ye Hanjun.
"Chirp! Chirp!!"
The Ghost-Faced Moth, reluctant to leave its master, was too scared of the bipedal beast in front of it.
It shut its eyes out of fright, numbing itself by self-deception.
Then, when it heard its master’s surprised voice, opening its eyes, it saw the symbol of the Grey Moon on its master’s forehead, giving off a grayish glow.
If you were to observe more carefully, the master’s eyes were like two clear waves, becoming purer.
Each blink was like ripples spreading upon the surface of a lake, as long as you watch it intently, it seemed to cleanse the dust in your soul, giving more security to the insect.
"Such an amazing transformation..."
Li Jingming lowered his head, examining himself.
The exposed skin had an added luster, as though he had applied a layer of beauty cream, appearing more youthful and energetic.
While there didn’t seem to be any changes to the muscle contours of his body, his standing posture was more relaxed, whether turning his neck or raising his arm, they were as smooth as the wind.
Of course, the gray ring that appeared on his right little finger couldn’t escape his notice.
This ancient yet ordinary-looking ornament seemed like an extension of his bones, exuding a harmony like blood in water.
Gently rubbing, Li Jingming felt like he was being electrocuted, his look wandered around, and he muttered to himself:
"Respecting Teacher’s Ring..."
"Special authority... disciple?"
Having received the heritage information, Li Jingming looked somewhat dazed.
Ye Hanjun didn’t pay him any mind for the moment, directly walking in front of Wang Xinfei, pinching the third Key of the Grey Moon between his fingers, coldly looking into her eyes.
Giving the Key of the Grey Moon, didn’t present any extra burden to him.
However, the outside situation was still unknown, as long as the powerhouse of the survival base hadn’t arrived, Ghost Hand was the strongest force on the field.
If he noticed that Ghost Tooth and Ghost Hunt hadn’t returned for a long time and suspected something happened, he might take dangerous actions regardless of the cost to achieve his goal...
In the pressing time, with his silent stare, the coldness in Ye Hanjun’s eyes thickened a bit.
