Bai Cang's relationship with Han Qinhu has become somewhat complicated recently.
It's not great, but it's not terrible either.
The two of them have an urge to fight the moment they meet.
As far as Bai Cang was concerned, there was a reason why Han Qinhu was so unpopular. He was able to become so hated by everyone because of his own strength.
Old Han's biggest problem is that he's too domineering!
Unjustified, illogical, and unreasonable domineering behavior!
It seems that in his view, everything is a game of chess in his mind, and he is the only chess player, while everyone else is just a pawn who only needs to follow his instructions.
He wouldn't consult with anyone, nor would he allow any dissent.
The same principle applies to how Bai Cang was thrown onto the life-or-death arena without a word, and later to how he was kept in the mountain gate, preventing him from making a move.
Bai Cang didn't necessarily disagree, but he was unhappy with Han Qinhu's way of doing things.
I used to be weaker than others and could only follow your orders. Now that I'm strong, I still have to follow your orders. Wouldn't that mean my "leveling up" was for nothing?
Han Qinhu knew that Bai Cang would definitely support him if he just talked to him properly, but he insisted on using tricks to "force" Bai Cang to agree to his approach.
How could Bai Cang not feel resentful towards him?
But Han Qinhu also had something to say: Are you my disciple or my father?
So you've turned the Heavenly Gang upside down, haven't you?
The moment we met again, you started picking a fight with me, saying things like, "Young man, don't be so arrogant," and "Old man, you're just eating shit." Do you really think you've grown up and I can't handle you anymore?
His recent actions, rather than being a power struggle with Bai Cang, are more like a battle of wits with his own disciple, trying to prove that "your grandpa will always be your grandpa."
However, it wouldn't be accurate to say that they had a falling out as master and disciple.
No matter what Bai Cang said, he still remembered Lao Han's kindness in bringing him to the Red Dragon Headquarters and giving him a take-off platform. No matter how unhappy he was on the surface, he always maintained consistency with Lao Han in his actions.
Even though Lao Han disliked Bai Cang, he always did what a master should do, and never forgot to put any benefits into Bai Cang's "bowl".
The core logic behind the master and apprentice bickering whenever they meet is that neither of them wants to actually have a real fight.
Their current way of getting along, all the "conflicts" and "awkwardness", can be put simply as "incompatible attributes" and "incompatible natures".
One of the most important reasons why Han Qinhu valued Bai Cang was that "this boy is like me."
Both of them are actually domineering individuals who have the final say and do not tolerate disobedience.
Han Qinhu's domineering nature is only superficial, while Bai Cang's domineering nature is hidden deep within his bones.
He seemed easier to talk to than Han Qinhu, and his style of dealing with people was also more gentle.
However, once he gains the upper hand, he becomes even more ruthless and intolerant than Han Qinhu, and even more vicious and cruel, ready to kill without saying a word.
Zhou Ganzheng was brought down by Bai Cang's style of doing things!
In short: Two tigers cannot share one mountain, unless one is male and the other female!
If the two of them want to get along harmoniously, there are only two possibilities.
First, Han Qinhu will ascend to immortality and become a Golden Core True Monarch. Bai Cang will definitely transform into a wonderfully obedient and good disciple.
Secondly, Bai Cang must reach a higher level and completely surpass Han Qinhu in every aspect, so that he can "respect" Han Qinhu from a superior position. Only then will Han Qinhu have some sense of propriety and dare not put on airs as a master anymore.
On the surface, the two are at least evenly matched, but since they can't have a life-or-death battle to test each other's strength, they are naturally evenly matched, neither willing to give way to the other.
However, Bai Cang was in a good mood today and was too lazy to argue with Han Qinhu.
He immediately bowed slightly and said, "Disciple greets Master. May I ask if Master has any instructions?"
The subtext is: Speak your mind!
However, Han Qinhu seemed to be in a very good mood as well, completely ignoring Bai Cang's "offense" hidden beneath his outward respect. He smiled and said, "How did you know that your grandmaster had returned victorious and even issued a decree to formally appoint him as the head of the academy?"
Bai Cang felt extremely disgusted by that "fisherman who catches a big fish" attitude and couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly.
However, the return of Tianhe Zhenjun brought Bai Cang great joy.
This not only means that the situation in the nine surrounding countries will stabilize, but also that their powerful backer has not encountered any problems.
Bai Cang immediately bowed with a smile and said, "Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master!"
Han Qinhu was so happy to see this that he almost burst out laughing.
Every pore on my body seemed to be shouting "Awesome!", just like drinking a refreshing shaved ice drink on a hot summer day, feeling refreshed from head to toe.
Since this little brat grew up, when has he ever had such a triumphant moment?
"My dear disciple, only today do I truly understand the dignity of my master!"
Han Qinhu, with a "your grandpa is still your grandpa" expression, waved his hand and said, "Get ready, in three days, your master will take you to see the grandmaster!"
Bai Cang was overjoyed upon hearing this, "Thank you for your guidance, Master."
It's not easy. After being an intern for so long, I'm finally going to meet the most powerful backer in their lineage!
Furthermore, the fact that Han Qinhu was able to take him to meet the Heavenly River True Lord shows that his facade as a "disciple of the True Lord" can continue to be exposed.
Who knows, you might even get a hefty amount of gold coins from the "True Lord Ancestor".
Shouldn't such a brilliant "grand-disciple" be given a generous gift upon meeting?
When a Golden Core True Monarch makes a move, how could it be an ordinary treasure?
Thinking about this.
Bai Cang immediately beamed with joy, showering Han Qinhu with compliments as if they were free, making Han Qinhu's teeth almost fall out from laughing. He felt as if he had reached the pinnacle of his life.
Bai Cang had praised him a lot in the past, but Lao Han never felt any emotional fluctuation.
But at this moment, if Bai Cang said a few nice words and his attitude was slightly better, Han Qinhu felt as if he had gained a huge advantage.
The same words can be said, but the meaning can be completely different depending on who says them.
Bai Cang didn't care. After all, saying a few nice words didn't cost him anything. He didn't bow his head because the benefits weren't enough. If the benefits were enough, he would be very flexible.
In short: You need to pay more!
As long as the money is right, anything below the Golden Core stage will be crushed, let alone fooling an old man.
This is the skill he used to make his fortune as "Master Bai Xiaodao," an old traditional art.
It's not shameful to try and gain benefits!
However, while Han Qinhu was enjoying himself, he wasn't completely overwhelmed by the weight of the situation.
After Bai Cang finished playing his tune, he put on a stern face and said, "There are some things I need to make clear to you. Let's establish three rules first."
"First, no swearing; second, no violence; third, absolutely, absolutely no killing!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang's bright smile froze, and his face immediately fell.
