With my clearest eyes, I asked my master what was wrong.

Seeing my deliberately mischievous look, my master looked helpless and first turned to introduce me to Grandpa Gao.

Then they started telling me what the Gao family had come here for.

It turns out that ever since I used the Five Elements Gathering at the apprenticeship banquet,

Many forces have taken notice, but none of them have been able to make any progress after obtaining the manual.

However, given my precedent, they can't say the manual is fake. At most, they can assume I've been holding back, but that's not something they can prove.

In the end, the Gao family came up with the idea of ​​sending two of their direct descendants to become disciples of the Spirit Ghost Sect.

Wouldn't it be better to share any good cultivation techniques then? Their idea is quite clever.

When they came to talk to their master about this today, their master told them that the Five Qi Primordial Spirit Method was unique to them.

No one else has mastered anything, not even my own younger sister.

They were discussing this matter when I arrived, and they were even thinking of sending someone to find me.

As it turned out, I happened to arrive by myself, and Old Gao was quite pleased, saying that I seemed to have a special connection with their family.

But I said, "Old Gao, my family is a small, humble household, and we even have a history with a gang."

There are always shady characters hanging around you, especially in a family as privileged as yours.

"It's not good to associate with people like me. Your family is so noble that you search everyone who walks past your door. I'm just a small-time hoodlum, I can't handle that!"

Old Gao was taken aback. Why was I being sarcastic when we had only just met and exchanged a few words?

She glanced back at the butler beside her, who quickly went to ask what had happened.

I pretended not to see anything and just chatted with my master. A little while later, the butler returned and whispered a few words to Old Gao.

He explained what had just happened.

Old Gao was also a bit angry, partly because he thought I was being unreasonable, and partly because he blamed his subordinates for causing trouble.

He gave the butler another instruction to make the arrangements, then chatted with the chef as if nothing had happened.

A moment later, the security captain came in and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to me.

I quickly dodged away, saying as I went, "What's going on? What's going on? Why are you bowing so deeply for no reason?"

The security captain kowtowed as he said, "My men didn't know your identity and offended you just now."

On behalf of my men, I apologize to the young master. Please forgive them, young master.

I didn't give them any face at all and said, "No, no, how can the captain say that?"

Even if a seventh-rank official is in front of the prime minister's gate, no matter what they did wrong, it's always us who are at fault.

How could you possibly have done something wrong? I can't accept this.

If I get angrier the more I think about it, won't I be in trouble? All you want is the secret manual? I'll write it for you right away!

The barrage of sarcastic remarks made the boy behind Old Master Gao so angry that veins popped out on his forehead.

However, the girl beside him stopped him, raising her hands in a fist salute and saying, "Senior brother, my brother and I have come here sincerely to become your disciples. You don't need to be so wary of us."

I glanced at her sideways and quickly said respectfully, "Don't call me 'Senior Brother,' just call me 'Little Gangzi,' even louder than I do."

It's not that I'm wary of you; it's always been you who's wary of me. Besides, you are truly from wealthy and noble families.

How could a street thug like me be worthy of being the fellow disciple of two such noble people? Please don't flatter me."
