Gu Yuan was speechless. Why did he bring the question back again?
Looking at the expectant Third Master, Gu Yuan smiled helplessly and said, "Senior..."
"Don't call me senior, call me Third Master!" Third Master said with his eyes glaring.
"Um, okay, Third Master."
Gu Yuan nodded and said, "Third Master, can I ask you a question?"
"you say."
"Why are you and Second Master treating me like this? Is there something special about me that attracts you? Yesterday Second Master gave me the Blood Merchant Token, today you gave me the Blood Merchant Token, and now you want to take me in as your apprentice. I really don't know how I'm any better than others. The only thing that makes me special is probably the demonic fire I have."
Gu Yuan asked in confusion, they were clearly strangers who had just met, so why did these two people seem to be particularly concerned about him?
"Tsk, you little brat, if I hadn't seen your serious expression, I would have suspected that you were asking this on purpose."
The Third Master curled his lips and said, "First of all, the reason I gave you the token and accepted you as my apprentice is simply because you're very much to my liking. Of course, I can't rule out the possibility that you possess demonic fire. After all, to be able to control a demonic fire, you must have quite a talent. In short, the reason I treated you this way is simply because you're very much to my liking, nothing else. As for that particular person? That's not entirely certain."
At the end of his speech, the Third Master deliberately glanced at the Second Master.
"What do you mean, old man?"
The Second Master said hurriedly with an embarrassed look on his face, "If you're not attracted by those things, then am I attracted by those things? This guy is also very much my type!"
"Look at you, old thing, you say you don't want to compete with me, but it's obvious that you want to compete with me!" said the Third Master disdainfully.
"Let's talk about who owns it after he agrees. What's the point of you talking about this now?" said the Second Master.
"So, kid Gu Yuan, don't be afraid of having a master. Anyway, I will be your junior master, which will not affect the relationship between you and your master. What do you think?" The Third Master began to ask again.
Gu Yuan almost vomited blood.
He might believe what the Third Master said, but he really didn't believe it. Gu Yuan didn't know what was going on, but he just thought so subconsciously.
But no matter what, at least the two people in front of him were pretty good. Even after knowing that he had the demon fire, they did not come to fight for it, and even reminded him. Just based on this point, Gu Yuan had a lot of good feelings towards them.
"Third Master, it's not that I don't want to, but my sect is very strict. Once you join my master's sect, you are not allowed to join anyone else's sect. If my master finds out, he will expel me from the sect!"
Although he had a good impression of them, Gu Yuan did not want to take them as his teachers. As a person, it is better to be free.
“This, this, this…”
The Third Master looked helpless. "Who is your master? A fifth-rank alchemist? No, I really want to ask him for advice. I want to see if these medicine bottles and jars can defeat me!"
The Second Master's face was filled with black lines. This guy was completely different from himself when he went crazy. He dared to say anything and provoke anyone. He really doubted that even if Gu Yuan became his disciple, would he really be able to teach him well? Wouldn't he be misleading the students?
"Third Master, please don't force me anymore. I really can't take you as my master! Not even as my junior master!" Gu Yuan rejected Third Master again.
"well!"
The Third Master sighed deeply, his face full of disappointment.
"Damn it, who on earth could have trained you to be such a stubborn ass? You wouldn't agree to my words even after I told you so!"
Gu Yuan could only smile bitterly.
"Forget it! Damn it, I don't want to be your master anymore. Let me put it this way, I see that you came here alone, and I'm afraid your master arranged for you to come here for training?" asked the Third Master.
"Well, what the Third Master said is right. I was indeed arranged here by the master."
Since the Third Master has given him such an excuse, Gu Yuan might as well use it!
"Then you probably won't be able to leave for a while. So, I don't have to be your master, but how about letting me teach you for a while while you're in Boulder City?"
After a pause, the Third Master said.
"Ah?" Gu Yuan was stunned.
The second master looked at the third master, not understanding what this old man was up to.
"What? This isn't enough? Then what do you want? Isn't it enough for me to teach you how to practice for free? I don't want you to recognize me as your master!" The Third Master said with a fierce look on his face.
Gu Yuan smiled bitterly. What virtue or ability did he have to make Third Master, a powerful spiritual master at the peak level, be so humble and ask for his teachings?
"If you don't agree this time, I'm afraid the Third Master will really get angry."
Gu Yuan thought silently, and then pondered for a while. It seemed that this matter would benefit him in every way and would not cause any harm.
Therefore, Gu Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, Third Master, I'll trouble you more in the future."
"Hahaha! Did you finally agree?"
The Third Master was delighted and put his arm around Gu Yuan's shoulders. He then looked at the Second Master with a boastful look on his face and said, "How is it? Not bad, right?"
The Second Master was speechless and said, "I don't even want to argue with you. Do whatever you want."
The Third Master rolled his eyes disdainfully and said to Gu Yuan, "Alright, remember, if you choose me today, you won't regret your decision!"
Gu Yuan could only nod.
"You go back first. We have agreed that I will teach you during your future experience in Boulder City. If you have any problems, just come to me with the token." said the Third Master.
"Well, then, Second Master and Third Master, I'll go back first." Gu Yuan said.
"Well, back off."
The Third Master nodded, and after Gu Yuan left, the playful smile on his face completely disappeared.
Just the look he gave the Second Master was full of disdain.
"You guy, you only do business that loses money!" said the second master unhappily.
"What? It hasn't even started yet, how come it's already a losing business?" The Third Master asked, holding up a cup of tea.
"According to what he said, his master is a fifth-grade alchemist. Do you think it's true?"
"Most likely it's true. After all, the demonic fire can't deceive anyone."
The Second Master nodded and sighed, "I didn't expect this kid to be so lucky that he could actually refine the Demonic Fire. Our boss has been coveting the Demonic Fire for a long time! If he can get that Demonic Fire, wouldn't it be..."
"Okay!" The third master suddenly waved his hand to interrupt the second master.
"You yourself said that his master is a fifth-grade alchemist. Even if he is not, do you think that the person who can extract the demon fire from the monster can have a small background? Forget about this crooked idea." The Third Master frowned and said.
"Uh... I was just talking." Erye said with a dry laugh.
"Gu Yuan's temperament is quite suitable for my taste. I'm afraid his reluctance to take me as his master is not due to his master."
"What is that?" asked the Second Master.
"That's easy. They don't want to have anything to do with our Blood Merchants Guild, or rather, they don't want to owe us a favor."
