Chapter 368: Chapter 183 Young Master, Scholar_2
Tianyang Child’s heart trembled, and he almost slipped and knelt down from the bookcase, involuntarily recalling the resolute demeanor of Chen Yindou when he had sought help years ago.
Chen Shi spoke of Dingding and the others’ situation, saying, "Brother Tianyang possesses great skills, and it would be a pity if he died without passing them on."
"If I don’t agree, he will kill me and let my skills be lost!"
Thinking that he understood Chen Shi’s implicit meaning, Tianyang Child’s heart tightened, and he said sternly, "This is about helping others for pleasure, and now that I have a lineage to pass on, why wouldn’t I?"
Chen Shi was pleased and asked him to choose a disciple.
Tianyang Child examined the potentials of Dingding, Little Ten, and the others. Dingding quickly stood up straight, looking expectantly at him, hoping he would choose her.
Although Tianyang Child was wary of Chen Shi’s "menace," he adhered to the principle of better none than wasteful and chose Little Ten, who had the best potential among the children, saying, "I choose him. What is your name?"
"I am called Little Ten," said Little Ten, sniffling.
Upon hearing this, Tianyang Child was overjoyed, "I am called Tianyang, and he is called Little Ten, Little Tianyang! He must be my disciple!"
Chen Shi then took Dingding and the others to meet the Musicians and others and spoke likewise. Although the Musicians wanted to refuse, pressured by "Chen Shi," they reluctantly chose one disciple each.
Dingding keenly watched them, repeatedly straightening her chest, hoping they would choose her, but she was disappointed each time.
In the end, only she was left.
Chen Shi took her hand and went to see Mrs. Hua Li. Mrs. Hua Li examined Dingding’s potential and apologetically said, "Little Ten, this child’s talents are too poor. Even if she studies with me, she will not learn much. She might not even achieve the Divine Embryo."
Chen Shi said, "She is clever and kind..."
Mrs. Hua Li smiled, "It’s not about being clever and kind. Good people are not necessarily capable of cultivation."
Dingding felt disheartened and tugged at Chen Shi’s sleeve, saying, "Brother Little Ten, I can take care of myself. Don’t look for a master for me."
As Chen Shi was holding her hand and about to leave, Dingding caught up swiftly, calling out to Chen Shi, "Young master, the lady said her soul is very strong, you must have fed her a lot of soul-related spiritual elixirs. The highest expert in souls here is Granny Sha, why don’t you take her to see Granny Sha? Maybe Granny Sha would like to have an extra helper."
Chen Shi’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly thanked her.
Dingding, with her lips pursed, smiled and said, "What are we thanking each other for?" After speaking, she bumped her shoulder against his and then hopped away excitedly.
Chen Shi watched her leave and took Dingding to seek Granny Sha.
Granny Sha had been elusive these days, but fortunately, Black Pot was there, and they quickly located Granny Sha and explained the situation.
Granny Sha sized up Dingding, touched her potential, and said, "This child has been to the underworld many times and her potential has been eroded by yin energy. Her potential was poor to begin with, and with the erosion by yin energy, it has gotten even worse."
A glimmer of hope in Dingding’s heart instantly turned to disappointment.
"However, she is perfectly suited to practice my sect’s Skill."
Granny Sha praised, "Heavy with yin energy, strong soul, naturally the material for the Soul Refining Technique! To others, this girl is like a dung beetle’s ball of dung, disgusting even to look at, but I am precisely the dung beetle. Follow me, and sooner or later you will stand out and shock all those who underestimated you!"
Dingding, both alarmed and delighted, quickly kowtowed to Granny Sha.
"This girl knows her manners!"
Granny Sha beamed, quickly pulled her up, and looked her over, praising, "She’s also a beauty in the making. Little Ten, do you want a child bride?"
Chen Shi’s face flushed, and he quickly said, "Granny, I’m still young!"
"Not that young. Besides, with the way you are stirring things up, you might not even live to adulthood. Marry early, give your grandfather a great-grandson, and no one will grieve over your death if you die."
Chen Shi fled in a panic.
Granny Sha shouted after him, "I’m telling the truth! If you don’t want her now, when she grows up, maybe you won’t even be able to afford a wife."
She continued to look at Dingding with growing affection and laughed, "Other Soul Refining old masters, upon seeing this girl, would surely grin sideways and then extract her soul to make Magical Treasures."
Dingding was startled.
Granny Sha laughed, "But you’re my disciple, who dares to extract your soul, I will extract their entire family’s souls! Don’t worry, no one will dare touch you."
Thus, Dingding followed Granny Sha in her cultivation, and it must be said, Mrs. Hua Li’s judgment was indeed sharp. She made rapid progress practicing the skills taught by Granny Sha, achieving results with half the effort, but was clueless when it came to other systems’ Skills.
Dingding also found that Granny Sha often associated closely with a green sheep and a dubious-looking man with a beard.
The three of them frequently met secretly, discussing something.
Later, Dingding discovered that they were actually keeping an eye on Chen Shi!
When these people gathered, they exchanged information about what Chen Shi had gotten up to that day, how many times he had courted death, and his frequent visits to the edge of the underworld, among other things.
"Girl, in the future, if we are not available, monitoring Little Ten will be your responsibility," Granny Sha solemnly said.
Dingding asked, "Why monitor Brother Little Ten?"
"Fearing he might die and destroy the world."
At an Independent gathering, Chen Shi was weak and listless until close to the end, when he recovered somewhat.
Yu Tiancheng had already settled the Taiping Sect matters, cleaning up various corpses. Chen Shi’s errand to a nearby village to buy iron had also been taken care of by him, using a Forget Sorrow Talisman to make the blacksmith’s shop owner completely forget the matter.
