Zither Emperor Chapter 82 Chapter 21 Eastern Dragon's Hua Sect 2

82: Chapter 21: Eastern Dragon’s Hua Sect (2) 82: Chapter 21: Eastern Dragon’s Hua Sect (2) Turning around, with his back to Ye Yinzhu, Fergerson’s eyes revealed a sly glint as he spoke indifferently, “There’s only one way now.

Considering you’re a student of the academy, I don’t wish for you to be treated as a heretic by Faran’s Seventh Tower.

You only have one path to choose.

That is to take me as your mentor.

In this way, I can use the magical products that I once gave you as a pretext to help solve this matter by claiming it’s due to my rank.

What do you think?”

“Ah?

Take you as my mentor?

But I already have a master.

I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

Fergerson said, “Then I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do and must send you to Faran’s Seventh Tower.

However, did your teacher specify that you can only have him as your master?”

Ye Yinzhu shook his head, “There’s no such rule, but…”

“Since there’s no such rule, why do you hesitate?

I’ve devoted my life to studying Spiritual Magic and haven’t taken on a single Disciple until now.

Rest assured, what I will impart to you will not conflict with what your master has taught you.

The Divine Music Master is actually a branch of the Spirit Mage.

Should your master inquire in the future, I can help you resolve it.”

At that moment, Ye Yinzhu couldn’t help but remember something Nina had once told him and cautiously asked, “Then, can I just call you ‘Teacher’ instead of ‘Master’?”

Fergerson was amused by Ye Yinzhu’s seemingly illogical request, “Alright, as you wish.” He couldn’t help but feel somewhat astonished.

In Milan, there were countless nobles who wanted to send their children to him as disciples, and he had declined them all, yet this young boy was still setting conditions.

“Teacher,” Ye Yinzhu politely bowed to Fergerson.

With his innocent nature, he could sense Fergerson’s goodwill toward him, which brought a feeling of warmth free of any threat.

Coupled with what Nina once said, he no longer hesitated.

“Good.

From now on, you’re my only disciple.

If I’m not mistaken, the being you summoned today with a contract must be your Magical Beast panion, right?

Do you know his origin?”

“Magical Beast?

No, Zi is not a Magical Beast; he is my friend.

My dear friend,” Ye Yinzhu quickly explained.

Fergerson’s expression changed, “So, he’s been in human form since the time you met him?

When exactly was that?”

Ye Yinzhu said, “Ten years ago.

I was six at that time, and Zi appeared while I was practicing the zither.

Later on, he would e every day to listen to me play.

He was my only friend before I came to Milan.

We’ve never been apart in all those ten years.”

Upon hearing this, Fergerson’s aged face furrowed deeply, beyond what he knew, “Then, what about this equal pact between you?

I’ve read about such equal summoning pacts in ancient texts.

It seems like a life-binding summons, one that binds your lives and spirits together.

Did you know that?”

Ye Yinzhu nodded and said, “I know!

Zi is my good friend.

But he couldn’t e to the academy with me.

Zi said that with this contract, we would be able to see each other often, so we signed this contract.”

Fergerson said with a wry smile, “However, such a contract will also restrict you from having your own Magical Beasts.

And don’t you want to know where your Zi learned this contract from?”

Ye Yinzhu’s answer was very simple, “I trust Zi.”

Looking at Ye Yinzhu’s firm and somewhat stubborn gaze, Fergerson fell silent.

He was naturally very satisfied with his disciple’s character, but he always felt that Zi was not so simple.

Without Douqi or Magic, solely relying on strength to actually withstand a full charge from a Green rank Dragon Knight, he had never seen such power among humans before.

A life-binding contract of equality, in legend, was originally a contract between husband and wife, only when the couple’s affection reached a level deeper than blood would they give up the right to have Magical Beasts and sign such a contract to be able to see each other at all times.

No, that Zi must not be human; with his own spiritual power, he couldn’t possibly judge wrongly.

Although his appearance had no differences from humans, he didn’t have a single human aura.

If he was a Magical Beast, then which kind of Magical Beast could possess such formidable physical strength and still transform into human form?

Thinking to this point, Fergerson couldn’t help but feel somewhat of a headache.

“Alright.

Yin Zhu, you go back first.

Rest well and prepare for the final petition.

I need to think it over before I can decide how to teach you the knowledge of Spiritual Magic.

After you go back, don’t forget what I just told you.

If anyone asks, tell them it was the magical products I gave you that have been covering up your true strength all along.

I will handle everything else for you.”

“Yes, thank you, teacher,” Ye Yinzhu said, bidding farewell to Fergerson with a touch of gratitude.

Just as he was about to leave, Fergerson called out to him again.

“Wait a minute.

Yin Zhu, there’s something I need to tell you.

After this freshmen petition ends, the academy will organize a real bat drill.

It’s not going to be like a petition.

We’re going to the actual battlefield.

At that time, outstanding students from each attribute will be selected to participate.

I hope you will go as well.

The trials of war can often make a person grow faster.

The specific details will be announced by the academy later on.”

“Okay.

I will follow the teacher’s instructions.” At the academy, one must ply with the academy’s arrangements, and Ye Yinzhu naively thought that it wouldn’t raise too many questions.

He had no doubts even about why the normally peaceful Continent would be at war.

Watching Ye Yinzhu leave, Fergerson finally let a smile spread across his face, thinking to himself, does this count as a carrot and stick approach?

Such a good disciple, I’m afraid not a second one can be found in the entire Ryuzakinus Continent.

His simple and unsophisticated nature, his deep and pure spiritual power and Douqi, the miracles he brought to the Divine Music Master, and the contract of Summoning of equivalent Primordial, all of this symbolized two words, genius.

And a genius without any impurities.

Ever since watching a few of Ye Yinzhu’s petitions, Fergerson had set his sights on him.

As the petitions went on, the surprises Ye Yinzhu brought to him grew.

Until today, when Ye Yinzhu’s Magic Power suddenly advanced to Yellow rank, he hesitated no longer, using this great opportunity to semi-forcibly take him as his disciple.

He vaguely felt that in the near future, Ye Yinzhu would surely bee a new star in the Ryuzakinus Continent’s Magic Realm.

As soon as Ye Yinzhu left the place where Fergerson lived, he ran into Sura.

Sura seemed to have been waiting for him, and as soon as she saw him e out, she quickly approached him, urgently asking, “Yin Zhu, what did the principal want with you?

Was it about your power leveling up so quickly?

You have been too careless.

How could such a problem arise?

Do you know that this can put you in great danger?

How exactly did you cultivate?”

Ye Yinzhu was overwhelmed by Sura’s barrage of questions, “Sura, speak slowly, don’t worry.

There won’t be any problems.

The teacher has already thought of a solution for me.” He then recounted everything he had discussed with Fergerson.

In the academy, there were only two people Ye Yinzhu trusted the most, one was Nina, and the other was Sura.

Apart from some secrets about the Zither Sect and Zhu Sect, he didn’t think he had anything else to hide.

“That’s a relief, you really scared me,” Sura said, patting her chest, “Who did you summon today?

When I saw Nesta and his dragon charge at you from the sky, it really scared me.

The principal didn’t even stop him.

Fortunately, you had a way to handle it.”
