Chapter 717 Master is Here
"Do you know how you lost?" Zhou Wen asked Dugu Chong.
He had no idea what was going on, so he wanted to figure things out first.
Dugu Chong misunderstood Zhou Wen's words and said bitterly, "Master Wen, you are indeed very clever. I used seven miniature companion pets, including the vampire spider and the black blood insect, each smaller than the last, but none of them could escape your eyes. You killed all of them, and I was forced to use the magic hair insect. I thought I could use it to teach you a lesson, but I didn't expect that I would be the one to receive the lesson."
"Why did you attack me?" Zhou Wen asked again.
Dugu Chong's face flushed, and he stammered, "I saw your technique in the hospital before, and I think you are more suitable to learn my insect-raising technique, so I want to bring you to the South District to learn insect-raising from me, an old man."
"You mean, you want to take me as your apprentice?" Zhou Wen asked Dugu Chong in a daze.
Dugu Chong's old face flushed red. "Master Wen, I'm so sorry. I've lost face. Today I realized that there are always people who are better than you. Not to mention you being my disciple, I'm not even worthy of being your disciple. I can kill you with just one word without getting your hands dirty."
"Does the dimensional creature in Qin Dutong's brain have anything to do with you?" Zhou Wen asked directly.
Dugu Chong immediately said in a serious tone, "That is absolutely not the case. Although our Dugu family does need a batch of gold, we are not so despicable as to do so. We would certainly not harm Deputy Governor Qin who is guarding the dimensional realm."
"In that case, then you can go." Zhou Wen said after thinking for a while.
Dugu Chong had no intention of leaving. He gritted his teeth and looked at Zhou Wen and said, "Master Wen, I've been raising insects all my life, but this is the first time I've planted one so hard that I don't even know how I planted it. Can you tell me how you killed the Demon Hair Gu?"
"I don't know." Zhou Wen said casually. He really didn't know how the Demon Hair Gu died. He had never seen that thing before.
But now think about it, the bird was flying around just now, and I don’t know what it was doing. I can probably guess that the bird got rid of those miniature companion pets and magic hair poison. But he didn’t dare to tell Dugu Chong these words.
"You don't know how the magic hair Gu died?" Dugu Chong naturally didn't believe such an answer.
"It died before I even saw it. How would I know how it died?" Zhou Wen said as he was about to close the door. He was in no mood to say anything more to Dugu Chong.
If he hadn't wanted Dugu Chong to die in the academy and cause a conflict between the Dugu family and Luoyang, he would have taken action just now.
Although he did not plan to take action now, Zhou Wen did not plan to let Dugu Chong go. He planned to use the ability of the invisibility cloak to track Dugu Chong and see if he had any accomplices, and then decide how to deal with him.
Zhou Wen just said it casually, wanting to get rid of Dugu Chong so that he could test the effectiveness of the invisibility cloak.
But Dugu Chong was shocked when he heard this: "You didn't even see the magic hair Gu, and you killed it?"
"Yes, if you have nothing to do, go back now and don't bother me anymore." Zhou Wen said as he was about to close the door.
Unexpectedly, Dugu Chong rushed over, pressed the door, and said, "Master Wen, can you let me see your companion pet? A companion pet that can easily kill the magic hair insect must be extraordinary..."
Dugu Chong wanted to say something, but suddenly saw the bird standing on the table. He immediately stood there with his eyes wide open.
"What's wrong with you? Do you really think I dare not kill you?" Zhou Wen said with a cold face. If Dugu Chong continued to pester him like this, he would have to take action here.
"That...that couldn't be..." Dugu Chong seemed not to hear Zhou Wen's rebuke. He stared at the bird and stammered, "Could that be the young phoenix in mythology?"
"You recognize him?" Zhou Wen looked at Dugu Chong in surprise.
The bird has been with him for quite some time, but not many people can recognize the bird's origin. Now the bird looks like a small golden eagle, and it doesn't look like a phoenix at all.
"I recognize it, of course I recognize it. How can an insect enthusiast not recognize the phoenix? The phoenix is the natural enemy of insects. No matter how powerful the poisonous insect is, it will be defeated by it... No wonder... No wonder..." Dugu Chong said as he pulled at his clothes, pulling off his shirt in one go, revealing his dry chest muscles.
"What do you want to do?" Zhou Wen took two steps back and looked at Dugu Chong in surprise.
Dugu Chong turned around and let Zhou Wen see his back. There was a huge blood-red phoenix tattoo on his back. It looked extremely realistic, as if it could flap its wings and fly out from his back at any time.
"You have a phoenix companion pet?" Zhou Wen was shocked.
Dugu Chong said sheepishly, "How could I possibly have a phoenix companion pet? This is a tattoo given to me by my teacher who taught me how to raise insects. It's called the Phoenix Spelling Evil Diagram. It's a custom passed down from our ancestors. It uses a mixture of special bird blood and medicinal herbs, then tattooed on the body to repel insects and ward off evil spirits, so as to avoid being harmed when catching insects and raising Gu. In my school, there are some ancient books about phoenixes. The phoenix chicks in them are very similar to yours, with just a few slight differences... Young Master Wen... is yours really a phoenix chick?"
"I see." Zhou Wen didn't answer, but nodded and said, "If there's nothing else, go back. If I see you again next time, you won't get such a good deal."
Dugu Chong did not move, but said to Zhou Wen in a somewhat flattering tone: "Master Wen, do you need someone to run errands for you? How about I be your assistant?"
"I don't need an assistant." Zhou Wen said with a frown.
"That's right, most men look for young girls as assistants... Then how about I take you as my master?" Dugu Chong's eyes turned and he suddenly said unexpectedly.
"How old are you, and you still want to worship me as your master? I..." Before Zhou Wen finished saying the word "I", Dugu Chong had already plopped down on the ground and knelt down.
"Master, please accept my disciple Dugu Chong's greetings..." Dugu Chong was not vague at all and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to perform the ceremony of paying homage to his master.
Zhou Wenren was dumbfounded and had no idea what was going on. Before he could react, Dugu Chong had already finished his worship.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Zhou Wen stared at Dugu Chong and frowned.
Dugu Chong rolled to his feet and said flatteringly, "From now on, you are my master. When will you teach me how to raise a phoenix?"
The book review area will not be available during the National Day holiday. Please be patient for a while.
I had something to do today, so the update is too late. The remaining two chapters are still being edited, so it will probably be very late. If you can't wait, try reading them tomorrow morning. Sorry.
