Chapter 109: Devil Instructor
Looking at the increasing number of onlookers gathering around, Bai Qiucha seemed to realize that his previous behavior was inappropriate. He directly summoned the bone dragon and disappeared into the sky with Bai Qi.
It’s over. This has been confirmed as the headline for tomorrow’s news. I don’t think there will be any fanatical female fans coming to me, right?
Looking at the flashing lights below, Bai Qi sighed helplessly.
The bone dragon flew very fast and soon arrived at the Bai family manor.
Bai Qiucha said apologetically, "There were so many people around just now, I didn't think it through. But you can talk without worry in my house, no one can eavesdrop."
My child, you have watched too many spy movies, even eavesdropping...
Bai Qi said: "In fact, this Tower of Gratitude is strictly speaking just a rune teaching tower. It doesn't have much value in itself, so..."
"no!"
Bai Qi was halfway through his words when Bai Qiucha interrupted him with a serious look on his face.
"I hate giving up halfway. I can't tolerate the existence of a secret tower in my career that I tried but failed to pass!"
Um, is it that serious? You will have a headache in the future.
Looking at Bai Qiucha who looked serious, Bai Qi straightened his face, patted Bai Qiucha on the shoulder and said, "In fact, there is no harm in having some shortcomings in one's life. On the contrary, it can motivate you to continue learning."
"Think about it, if you just pass the level like this, will you still want to continue learning runes in the future?"
"Besides, if you keep clinging to the past, what's the difference between that and tying your own hands and feet?"
After hearing Bai Qi's words, Bai Qiucha suddenly felt enlightened.
Indeed, these days, because he wanted to clear the Tower of Gratitude, he was very motivated to learn runes.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was about to break through to the fourth level and would never be able to enter the Tower of Gratitude again, he wouldn't have come to Bai Qi to learn any quick methods.
Thinking of this, Bai Qiucha's mind suddenly became clear. He took off a wristband on his left hand, and the three runes on the back of his left hand suddenly turned into four.
"Thank you, I really shouldn't be so persistent... Uh, what is this?"
Bai Qiucha showed gratitude on her face and was about to thank Bai Qi for his guidance when she saw Bai Qi handing her a booklet.
"Don't you want to learn it quickly? Here are the runes and functions that appeared in the Tower of Gratitude that I sorted out earlier. You just need to rush through them."
Your sister!
Why didn't you tell me earlier that you have a quick guide? And why are you talking so much nonsense to me?!
The corners of Bai Qiucha's eyes twitched slightly. He looked at the fourth rune on the back of his left hand which had been completely stabilized. He exhaled heavily and then barely suppressed the urge to beat Bai Qi up.
"Thank you, but I may not be able to use it!"
Bai Qiucha pushed the booklet back, and Bai Qi also noticed the four curse patterns on Bai Qiucha's wrist.
It seemed like he was speaking too slowly, but that was okay, as long as his words were not wasted.
Although he was not very familiar with Bai Qiucha, Bai Qi felt a little bit sorry to see such a talented young man stuck in a dead end, otherwise he would never say so much nonsense.
I am so kind.
Looking at Bai Qi who was reveling in himself, Bai Qiucha once again refreshed his understanding of Bai Qi.
This guy is really special.
Bai Qiucha glanced at Bai Qi and said, "Originally, I was planning to fight your Withered Dragon Lord once, but I just broke through to the fourth level and need some time to adapt. I can only wait until the training camp to fight again."
"Training? You want to go too?"
As soon as Bai Qi asked the question, he wanted to slap himself in the face.
The Bai family was originally one of the families in the Beastmaster Association. With Bai Qiucha's talent, how could she not be able to enter this training camp?
"Well, then we can have a proper battle."
Bai Qiucha had a hint of fighting spirit on his face, and said, "Now that your Withered Dragon Lord and my Skeleton Dragon are both lord-level, there's no need to be so restrained."
"Haha, let's talk about it later."
Bai Qi scratched his head and said, "By the way, can you tell me what the training camp is like?"
Old Man Qin has mentioned to Bai Qi more than once about preparing well and participating in the training camp. It would be a lie if Bai Qi said he was not curious.
However, Old Man Qin liked to play hard to get so much that he refused to tell me much. Now that there was a free informant, I naturally couldn't miss it.
"This is my first time participating as well, but as far as I know, in addition to the necessary theoretical learning, the focus is still on secret realm exploration and actual combat."
Secret realm exploration and actual combat?
Wouldn’t that be a lot of resources?
Bai Qi immediately became interested and asked, "Then will everything you gain during the training camp belong to you?"
"I think so. I can only be sure after I go to the training camp."
"Okay, I understand."
Bai Qi had a rough idea in his mind and was about to say goodbye to Bai Qiucha when the phone in his pocket started vibrating.
The name on the caller ID was Luo Xiang.
“Has this arrived yet?”
Bai Qi answered the phone, and Luo Xiang's voice came out of the phone like a string of cannonballs.
"Bai Qi, I have something urgent to do and can't take you to the headquarters, but I have booked a flight for you at 1pm. Someone will pick you up there. Don't be late. That guy doesn't like people who are late~"
“Beep, beep, beep…”
Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Bai Qi was a little confused.
Is this big brother really that busy?
That’s what happened last time in the Tower of Gratitude. They just took the rune dictionary from Professor Dong and ran away. Now they’re even more direct. They don’t even bother to show their faces.
With such a team leader, will I really not be cheated in the future?
"Was it Brother Luo who called just now?"
Bai Qiucha was already a fourth-rank beastmaster, so he could naturally hear the voice on the phone and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, you know him?"
"Of course I do."
Bai Qiucha nodded and said, "Brother Luo is one of the geniuses that have risen in the association in recent years. Although he is only in his twenties, the number of secret towers he has cracked is approaching three digits."
Three digits?
Didn't you realize Luo Xiang is actually a wealthy man? !
"I heard from my dad that Bai Qi, you have the same talent for breaking through the air as Brother Luo Xiang. I believe you will be able to do it in the future."
Bai Qi smiled and said, "I'll borrow your good words."
As he spoke, Bai Qi looked at the time and it was already twelve o'clock.
"Oh my god, Luo Xiang is such a jerk, can't he book a later ticket?"
Seeing this, Bai Qi quickly put away his phone and said to Bai Qiuran, "Um, can you take me to the airport?"
This place is located on the outskirts of Gusu City, at least an hour's drive from the airport, and it would definitely be too late to take a taxi.
"I originally planned to challenge the Tower of Gratitude again before going to the headquarters. Now that I can't go, I'll go with you."
As he spoke, Bai Qiucha snapped his fingers, and the butler who had been waiting nearby quickly came over. After Bai Qiucha whispered a few words to him, he quickly left.
"You want to go too? But is it too late to book a plane ticket now?"
Bai Qiucha shook his head and said, "Don't bother with that. Just take my private plane."
private plane?
Don’t you and your son both fly in and out on your pets?
Bai Qi looked in the direction of Bai Qiucha's finger and saw a small plane slowly rising from the ground. Through the glass of the cockpit, he could vaguely see that the pilot was the butler.
Can this old man fly a plane?
Are all housekeepers so crazy nowadays?
The butler who was in the cockpit just now suddenly appeared in front of Bai Qi and the others and said, "Master, the plane is ready. Shall we set off now?"
Bai Qiucha glanced at Bai Qi, confirmed that Bai Qi had no objection, nodded, and said, "Then let's go now."
The butler nodded, took the two of them on the plane, and then drove the plane straight to the north.
At the same time as the two of them left Gusu City, Lu Yuan had already arrived at the door of Bai Qi's house, squatting silently beside him waiting for Bai Qi.
"This time, I must ask him to help me transform the Ghost Bone Tiger!"
…
Songlin City.
Airport.
"Master, Master Bai Qi, we are here."
The butler bowed to the two of them, indicating that they could get off the plane.
“Already here?”
Bai Qi looked at the unfamiliar scenery outside the window, feeling a little curious.
Songlin City and Gusu City are located in the south and north of the Federation respectively, and are quite far apart, so this is his first time in Songlin City.
"What are those six tall towers? Why do they look a bit like secret towers?"
Bai Qi looked out the window and saw six tall towers in the distance. They were particularly conspicuous against the backdrop of the surrounding low buildings.
"That's where the headquarters is - Tower Six."
The butler nodded and said, "There is a no-fly zone around the Sixth Tower, so we can only stop at the airport first. The two young masters, take a rest. I will go and prepare the car."
Bai Qiucha nodded, obviously already accustomed to this rhythm, while Bai Qi suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, Luo Xiang told me before that he had someone to pick me up, how can I contact him?"
The housekeeper smiled upon hearing this and said, "If it was Luo Xiang who asked, then it must be Master Zhang Shan. If Master Bai Qi doesn't mind, I can help you contact him."
"Thank you very much."
Judging from what Luo Xiang said on the phone before, this Zhang Shan should not be an easy person to get along with. Since the housekeeper knows him, it will be easier for him.
However, the butler was stunned after dialing Zhang Shan's number, then looked at Bai Qi and said, "Sorry, Master Bai Qi, Master Zhang Shan seems to have arrived."
"Uh, okay then."
Bai Qi nodded upon hearing this, followed the butler down the plane, and saw the person who came to pick him up at a glance - a cold-faced man with the badge of the Beastmaster Association hidden on his chest.
"Bai Qi?"
The cold-faced man also saw Bai Qi walking over and asked directly.
He was concise and to the point. Unlike people like Xia Xuan who could pretend to be taciturn to improve their status, Bai Qi could clearly feel that this guy was definitely born with that coldness, and could even be described as cold.
"Yes, may I ask who you are?"
Considering Luo Xiang's warning to him and the butler's attitude just now, Bai Qi did not behave too rudely.
"My name is Zhang Shan. I will be one of your instructors for the next six months, so I hope you can call me instructor!"
Zhang Shan glanced at Bai Qi coldly and said, "Now, student Bai Qi, get in the car!"
He will be my instructor for the next six months?
This instructor is obviously a devil. The next six months will be tough...
