Chapter 25: Recruiting a Disciple
Chapter 25: Recruiting a Disciple
Xuanyuan Xingyao looked at Nangong Jing in surprise and strangeness, and that look made Nangong Jing subconsciously shrink his neck, thinking that he had said something wrong.
Xuanyuan Xingyao hadn't expected Nangong Jing to be so perceptive. Despite his youth, he was incredibly sensitive to others' ill intentions, having escaped numerous traps. He'd known Xuanyuan Xi harbored ill intentions from a young age, a fact that was why he remained undeterred no matter how he tried to get close to him.
However, Xuanyuan Xingyao didn't expect that Nangong Jing had also noticed it. After all, Xuanyuan Xi's appearance and personality were quite intimidating. Xuanyuan Xi had always had a good reputation in the palace. Some palace people even felt that Xuanyuan Xi was much easier to get along with than Xuanyuan Xingyao.
"Your Highness, what did I say wrong?" Nangong Jing regretted what he had just said.
Xuanyuan Xingyao saw the panic in Nangong Jing's eyes and knew he had been misunderstood, so he said, "Don't misunderstand me. I'm not angry. On the contrary, I'm very happy that you told me this. I'm just a little surprised that you can actually sense that Xuanyuan Xi is a smiling tiger. You know, many people say that he is a gentle prince and that he has the best temper among the princes."
Xuanyuan Xingyao was genuinely happy. Xuanyuan Xi was still the prince, no matter what. If Nangong Jing's badmouthing of him got out, Nangong Jing would be in for a rough patch. He didn't think Nangong Jing was too young to understand these things. How could someone who grew up without a mother in the Duke's mansion be so harmless? Nangong Jing knew the consequences, yet he still spoke to him, clearly doing it for his own good. How could Xuanyuan Xingyao not be happy?
Nangong Jing felt that Xuanyuan Xingyao's attitude towards him seemed to have become much gentler and closer. He couldn't help but smile a little, and said with a childish tilt of his head, "I am naturally sensitive to emotions. Just now, the Sixth Prince said congratulations to me, but his eyes were very cold. And the way he looked at me when he left made me very uncomfortable."
Xuanyuan Xingyao frowned slightly when he heard this. Thinking of the behavior of the imperial concubine's family, he said with some concern, "When you go out recently, take some people with you. Try to have as few people as possible except in your own bedroom."
Nangong Jing understood Xuanyuan Xingyao's intention: he was worried Xuanyuan Xi might attack him. But Nangong Jing didn't understand why Xuanyuan Xi would attack him. Was it just because he was Xuanyuan Xingyao's study partner? But Xuanyuan Xingyao surely knew Xuanyuan Xi better than he did. If he said that, he must have a basis for it. So, Nangong Jing nodded obediently.
"Master Liu, how are we going to put these two magical beasts away?" After Nangong Jing finished talking to Xuanyuan Xingyao, he realized that the magical beasts he summoned were still in the summoning circle. He said to Master Liu with some annoyance.
"You just need to use your mental power to bring the magical beast into the space of your sea of consciousness. Your natal magical beast can be left outside or brought into the space." Liu Gongfeng said in a deep voice.
The natal monster is the only one among all the summoned monsters that can stay outside the space at any time. The other monsters must return to the summoner's space after the battle, otherwise they will die.
Nangong Jing was very happy to hear that Yan could stay outside. He used his mental power to cover the Nether Wolf and then brought it into the space. It was at this time that Nangong Jing discovered that his space seemed to have become larger.
"Master Liu, my space has become bigger. What's going on??" Nangong Jing said in shock with his eyes wide open.
"Little guy, because you are already a summoner, this space cannot be expanded through normal practice. It will only become larger after summoning new monsters. The more monsters you summon and the higher your level, the larger the space will be." It was Han Yan, not Liu Gongsheng, who answered Nangong Jing.
Nangong Jing and Han Yan were not very familiar with each other, so when he saw that the person who answered was Han Yan, he subconsciously shrank his neck, but his good upbringing still allowed Nangong Jing to thank Han Yan obediently.
Han Yan was even more satisfied when he saw Nangong Jing's well-behaved appearance. Han Yan, who originally wanted to investigate him, decided not to do so. If Nangong Jing really had any problems in the future, he would just expel him from the sect.
"Little guy, I'm going to take you in as my disciple. Are you willing?" Han Yan put his hands behind his back and said to Nangong Jing in a seemingly nonchalant but actually serious tone.
Han Yan's sudden words not only stunned Nangong Jing, but also Liu Gongfeng. He didn't expect Han Yan to make a decision so quickly.
However, Liu Gongfeng reacted quickly. Seeing Nangong Jing still standing there stupidly, he quickly said, "Why are you still standing there? Come and become his disciple. Han Gongfeng is a powerful Summoning Saint. It's a blessing for you that he is willing to accept you as his disciple."
As soon as Liu Gongfeng said this, the princes and their companions who had not left yet all widened their eyes in surprise. Huan Sheng was a powerful man that they could hardly see in their daily lives, and now he wanted to accept Nangong Jing as his apprentice. For a moment, everyone didn't know whether to envy Nangong Jing or not.
