Are you free?
If you're free, I'll come to Spirit Turtle Peak right now to teach you thunder techniques!
Wang Xiu: (⊙_⊙?)...
Good heavens.
To be honest.
Wang Xiu originally just wanted to ask Ji Zidian for a few thunder technique formulas. After all, with his thunder dao attainment, he only needed the textbook—no need for others to teach him.
But the result.
I ask to borrow a textbook, and you're offering to come to my door to tutor me?
Wang Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Coming all the way to Spirit Turtle Peak to teach me thunder techniques—wouldn't that be too much trouble for Junior Sister?"
"No trouble!"
"No trouble at all!"
Ji Zidian grinned: "You have a life-saving grace for me. What's wrong with teaching you a few thunder techniques? Even if my father knew, he wouldn't have any objections."
Saying this.
Ji Zidian stood up, preparing to head straight for Spirit Turtle Peak.
However, just then.
A burly, majestic figure blocked Ji Zidian's path: "Who said I wouldn't have any objections?"
Yes.
The newcomer was none other than the Thunder Vein Seat, Ji Yan.
Looking at the excited Ji Zidian, this old father's teeth were nearly ground to dust.
...
Learning thunder techniques?
Who are you fooling!
Does this kid really want to learn thunder techniques?
He clearly wants to use learning thunder techniques as an excuse to woo my daughter. He's despicable!
This kind of trick.
Might fool naive girls like Little Nine, but trying to fool me—a seasoned romantic who has thirty-plus concubines, the Thunder Vein's player?
Dream on!!!
"Father~"
An awkward smile appeared on Ji Zidian's face as she tried to curry favor: "Why are you here?"
Ji Yan said grumpily: "Why am I here?"
"If I didn't come, my daughter would be stolen away by that Divination Vein brat!"
Cough cough~
Wang Xiu also showed a helpless expression. Just as he was video chatting with a young girl arranging to meet, he was caught by her father.
How to put it.
So awkward!
Forcing a smile, Wang Xiu bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Uncle Ji."
Hmph!
Ji Yan looked coldly at Wang Xiu and snorted: "Wang Xiu, the grace of you saving my daughter has already been repaid by me with Thunder Tribulation Liquid and a favor."
"Now you're pursuing my daughter again—what are your intentions?"
Ji Zidian tugged at Ji Yan's hem, saying quietly: "Senior Brother didn't harass me. I was the one who sent the transmission to Senior Brother first."
Ji Yan: (⊙_⊙)
Ji Yan: (·_·?)...
Ji Yan: (｀·д·′)
Ji Yan: "And teaching thunder techniques for free, personally running all the way to Spirit Turtle Peak?"
Ji Zidian's cheeks flushed: "That was also my suggestion. Senior Brother didn't just not ask for it—he even kept trying to persuade me not to come, saying he didn't want to trouble me."
Ji Yan: ヽ(｀⌒′メ)ノ
Ji Yan: (ヘ·_·)ヘ┳━┳
Ji Yan: (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻
What impressive methods!
This playing hard to get act is even more skilled than when I was young.
Daughter.
You've truly met a tough opponent. This scoundrel's attainments in wooing girls probably aren't inferior to your father's when he was young!
Thinking of this.
Ji Yan felt like he was seeing his younger self. The more he looked at Wang Xiu, the more displeased he became!
"Wang Xiu!"
Ji Yan sternly shouted: "I'll put my words here today—as long as I'm at Thunder Roaring Peak for a day, Little Nine will not set foot on your Spirit Turtle Peak."
"As long as I'm still alive, you Divination Vein people want to learn thunder techniques without spending spirit stones?"
"Not a chance!"
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging. Congratulations, Host receives Spiritual qi+666.]
Buzz~
As the system prompt sounded, incomparably vast and mighty Spiritual qi rushed into Wang Xiu's body.
His cultivation, which had just broken through to Foundation Establishment Seventh Heaven, directly rose with the tide—not only completely stabilizing his realm but pushing right to the threshold of Eighth Heaven.
Only a thin membrane remained, as if it could be pierced with just a gentle touch.
Instantly.
Wang Xiu's originally somewhat awkward expression completely vanished, replaced by incomparable heat and excitement.
Good heavens, this Uncle is way more rewarding than the Junior Sister!
At this moment.
All his awe and respect for the Thunder Vein Seat vanished from his heart, replaced only by the pursuit and longing for rewards: "Uncle, I remember you owe me a favor."
"You can promise to do one thing for me, right?"
Ji Yan: ???
Good kid.
Planning to use this favor to block me?
Block away then.
But why does the way he's looking at me seem so... off?
There's a trap!
Definitely a trap!
Ji Yan sneered: "I promised to do one thing for you within my capability that doesn't violate benevolence, righteousness, moral principles, or bottom lines."
The implication.
If you want to use this favor to pursue my daughter, that would violate my principles and bottom lines—forget about it.
Wang Xiu nodded with a smile: "I hope to use this favor in exchange for the opportunity to learn thunder techniques."
Hiss~
Ji Yan's gaze narrowed. Using a favor from an Soul Seperation Stage mighty cultivator just to exchange for learning thunder techniques?
This kid isn't planning to secretly cross the river by taking a roundabout path, is he!
However.
If he insisted on using this favor to make me agree to Little Nine teaching him thunder techniques, I really couldn't refuse!
After all, this matter.
If one were to say it violates benevolence, righteousness, moral principles, or bottom lines—that would mean Ji Yan's moral standards and bottom lines are way too high!
Ji Yan's expression became difficult: "Who do you want to learn thunder techniques from using this favor?"
Wang Xiu grinned, taking it for granted: "Since it's a favor Uncle owes me, naturally I hope to follow Uncle in learning thunder techniques."
If possible.
Wang Xiu hoped to make Ji Yan brag directly for him.
But.
First.
As a mighty Soul Seperation Stage cultivator, asking him to brag for you like this junior is asking would be rather discourteous!
Second.
The system's bragging reward determination also has limits. It can't be deliberately farming points for rewards, otherwise it won't take effect.
Otherwise, Wang Xiu wouldn't have needed to probe indirectly at the market earlier. He could have just hired a hundred or so people to brag for him nonstop, 24 hours a day.
Considering all this.
Wang Xiu decided to infiltrate the Thunder Vein first. As long as he could have more contact with Ji Yan, there would always be opportunities to induce him to brag for him!
Hiss~
Wang Xiu's abacus was clacking loudly.
Ji Yan, hearing his words, drew in a sharp breath. His gaze toward Wang Xiu gradually became complicated.
Good kid!
Originally I thought he was planning to take down Little Nine first, then cook the raw rice into cooked rice, forcing me to have no choice but to agree.
Such behavior is no different from deceiving naive girls—despised by heroes!
Who would have thought.
This kid actually had such boldness, attempting to gain my goodwill by learning thunder techniques from me, then getting together with my daughter through an upright and honest path?
Starting from the father-in-law—challenging the ultimate difficulty in girl-chasing?
What ambition!
Ji Yan couldn't help but exclaim. This kid truly understood the ways of wooing girls—he was truly Ji's soulmate.
If only he wasn't born in the Divination Vein.
And wasn't pursuing my daughter.
Perhaps Ji would really sit down and discuss the Dao with him, becoming a friend despite the age difference, or even teaching him the arts of managing a harem!
