Chapter 38 – Apprenticeship
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Purifying Spirit Masters were not half-completed products abandoned by God. They were angels sent by God to assist Beast Tamers!
These words shocked Lin Jiansheng.
Lin Jiansheng was already more than a hundred years old. He was no longer young, but at this moment, it was as if he had returned to his youth. He had returned to the day when he was accepted into the Divine Realm Academy and participated in the opening ceremony as a scholar.
At that time, Lin Jiansheng was not yet a Purifying Spirit Master. He was just a nerd who only knew how to immerse himself in his studies. If there were no accidents, after graduation, Lin Jiansheng would most likely go to the Purifying Spirit Academy and assist the Purifying Spirit Masters in their work.
That day, the entire plaza was filled with outstanding children from various families and cities. He, a scholar who did not have a beast form, was mixed among these people. He was really like a little sparrow that had mistakenly entered the nest of a phoenix.
The geniuses all looked at him with disdain and whispered about his attire, his temperament, his identity, and his future that was not worth mentioning. There was not a single vulgar word in their words, but Lin Jiansheng felt as if he had been insulted.
Just as he felt embarrassed and wanted to find a hole to hide in, Yin Mingjue, the academy’s disciplinary officer, descended from the sky while riding on his beast form. He stood in front of him and greeted him with a friendly attitude. “Hello, college entrance examination top scorer Lin Jiansheng.”
In the eyes of those privileged people, he was an ordinary person who had failed his beast awakening. Only Yin Mingjue respected his character and called him the “College Entrance Examination Top Scorer”.
When Lin Jiansheng heard Yin Mingjue calling him that, his face turned red and he couldn’t raise his head. He bashfully replied, “Hello, senior. I’m not that impressive. Don’t call me that.”
However, Yin Mingjue said, “The total number of people taking the college entrance examination this year is 6.5 million. You’re the top scorer of the college entrance examination. If that’s not impressive, what is?”
After saying that, Yin Mingjue smiled and looked around at his classmates who had shut up because of his appearance. He then raised his voice and said, “There are nearly a hundred Beast Tamers who successfully awaken every year, but there’s only one top scorer in the college entrance examination. Aren’t you better than all of us here?”
With that, he extended his right hand towards Lin Jiansheng with a smile. “Welcome to Divine Realm Academy. I’m your senior, Yin Mingjue.”
Under everyone’s gaze, Wen Sheng and Lin Jiansheng held the hands of the number one genius of the school, Yin Mingjue.
Originally, Lin Jiansheng had only intended to learn some knowledge in the Divine Realm Academy. After graduation, he would strive to enter the Purifying Spirit Academy to get a job. However, after receiving Yin Mingjue’s encouragement, he suddenly became enlightened and embarked on the cultivation path of a Purifying Spirit Master.
His memories from more than a hundred years ago surfaced. Lin Jiansheng stared at the young girl in front of him and once again felt that long-awaited feeling of being inspired and touched.
He knew that this was bad.
It was a trap, but he was willing to jump in.
Lin Jiansheng pursed his lips and said uncomfortably, “You can be my disciple, but you have to be prepared to suffer.”
Yu Huang said, “I’m not afraid of anything.”
“You have quite some confidence!” Lin Jiansheng took a step back and placed his hands behind his waist. He raised his chin slightly and looked at her as he said rather arrogantly, “Be my disciple.”
Yu Huang took half a step back. She tidied up her clothes and sleeves, then respectfully bowed to Lin Jiansheng as a disciple. “Today, I will accept Mr. Lin Jiansheng as my master. One day my master, forever my father! From now on, I will treat my master with respect, respect my master, love my master, protect my master, and never deceive or betray my master! If I violate this, lightning will strike from the heavens, and my soul will be destroyed!”
With that said, Yu Huang raised her head and bit the blood on her fingertip with her teeth. Then, she extended her hand towards Lin Jiansheng.
Yu Huang wanted to form a blood pact with Lin Jiansheng!
A blood Pact was a contract that was exchanged with life.
Once the Blood Pact was formed, both parties could not deceive each other or betray each other. This was a kind of contract that was more stable than a husband and wife relationship.
Lin Jiansheng stared at the drop of blood on Yu Huang’s fingertip and his expression turned solemn. He couldn’t help but ask, “Do you know that once you form a Blood Pact with me, if you violate your oath, you will suffer the wrath of the Thunder God? The power of the Thunder God’s Fury is so great that even a Prime Master will lose half his life.”
“I know! I have no regrets!”
Yu Huang knew that Lin Jiansheng did not have a personal disciple. After the Blood Pact was formed, she would be Lin Jiansheng’s only personal disciple.
The relationship between a personal disciple and an ordinary disciple was completely different. Yu Huang needed Lin Jiansheng to give her 100% trust and respect. If she didn’t show her sincerity, how could she gain Lin Jiansheng’s trust and respect?
A smile finally appeared on Lin Jiansheng’s face. “Very good!” Lin Jiansheng bit his finger and mixed it with Yu Huang’s blood.
The two drops of blood fused in the air and turned into a red line that entered each of their bodies. The blood contract was completed.
“Get up and follow me upstairs.”
“Okay.”
Lin Jiansheng brought Yu Huang to his secret meeting room. Seeing the tea set on the table, Yu Huang hurriedly went over to make tea for Lin Jiansheng.
Lin Jiansheng sat in front of the chessboard and played alone. He asked Yu Huang, “What is your relationship with Yin Donghai?”
Without waiting for Yu Huang’s reply, Lin Jiansheng muttered to himself, “Could you be his illegitimate daughter?”
Yu Huang was already 18 years old. According to the pattern of pregnancy, Yin Donghai had Yu Huang 19 years ago. However, at that time, Yin Donghai had been a bachelor. How could he have a daughter?
That was why Lin Jiansheng thought that Yu Huang was Yin Donghai’s illegitimate daughter.
He cursed in his heart: Old fart, we agreed to grow old together, but he secretly broke the pact.
He actually had a daughter with someone else behind his back!
