(63) Apprenticeship is not reliable

  I was suddenly paralyzed all over, and I couldn't accept the fact that my sister had a boyfriend. It's not that I didn't allow her to have a boyfriend, it's just that it felt really uncomfortable.

  "You mean... you have a boyfriend?" I put down my chopsticks and asked hesitantly, my sister smiled and said: "Yeah yeah."

  Although my sister was delighted, I had already lost my appetite and asked: "Why did you agree to him? Is he a good person?"

  Sister shook her head hard, "Still unclear, received a love letter when I came to class this afternoon, went on a date after school, and then she confessed."

  At this point, my sister's face turned red with shame. I was speechless and asked with a twitching mouth corner: "You didn't even figure out what kind of person the other party is, and you agreed so casually?"

  Sister felt I was angry and hastily explained: "Brother, it's not entirely like that."

  "But why is that?"

  "Because of him, he's so handsome, a warm man, even the sound of his voice is... very gentle, I fell in love at first sight." My sister looked down with a very embarrassed expression, and in my impression, my sister had never been in love before, and there were many boys who confessed to her, but she was picky about this and that and didn't agree.

  How can this guy be so charming? It's really infuriating! Why can't I be a bit more handsome, now it's so hard to chase after the girl I like.

  Seeing that my expression didn't change, my sister begged me again: "Brother, I really like him, please don't tell Dad and Mom, please, I've finally met a boy who makes my heart skip a beat."

  I still feel uncomfortable in my heart, and my face is still gloomy, so I picked up the bowl and chopsticks again, thinking about whether to agree or disagree while eating.

  Weird, why do I have a sour taste?

  Xiao Jing is just my sister.

  In fact, if my sister didn't tell me that she had a boyfriend, I wouldn't have known and it wasn't necessary for me to agree.

  She was willing to tell me that she cared about me as a brother and also admired the handsome boy. Thinking of this, my heart tightened involuntarily.

  "Brother." My sister clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and was almost in tears. And Thirteen saw all of this, twisting his body to tease me: "Brother, agree with her, okay?"

  I really want to say, I promised your brother-in-law. Finally, he sighed and said: "Xiao Jing, it's not that I don't agree, but I'm worried that the man will bully you."

  "Uh-huh." My sister nodded, deeply moved, but still didn't change her mind. I said: "I promised you not to tell Mom and Dad, but promise me one condition."

  "Brother, what conditions? You tell me."

  "You and he spend two days together, feel that can further development, then ask him out to let brother know, give you a check. Also, no matter what time, as long as he bullied you, you must tell me, brother will not kill him!" I said solemnly, but made my sister laugh. The atmosphere afterwards was still quite harmonious, after dinner ended, I secretly called thirteen郎 and hid in the room.

  "What a great brother, even I want to have such a good brother." Shi Yi made a face that begged for a beating as he imitated his sister's voice. At the time, I really wanted to grab the soul hook bottle and stuff it directly into his butt!

  "Alright, alright, let's talk about something serious for once?" I said speechlessly. Ever since I met you, Thirteen Lang, I finally understand what it means to be hypocritical and a wolf in sheep's clothing.

  "Alright, let's get serious then. What were we talking about?" Thirteen Lang found a stool in my room and sat down, casually putting his feet up on the table.

  I saw the Thirteenth Brother and didn't see outsiders, I immediately smiled slyly: "Brother, I found your big move is so cool, and it's also ghostly elusive, too awesome! Can you teach me?"

  "Come on, it's not serious at all." Thirteen Lang's originally stern face suddenly relaxed a bit, "I said before, the ninja techniques and all that, were just me showing off."

  "I said, 'Although the ninjutsu is fake, the ability is real. I'm curious, my soul strength isn't lower than yours, but it seems like I can only use close combat techniques? No big moves at all, really sorry to the readers.'"

  Thirteen Lang sighed and said: "Magic and such things are either understood by oneself or passed down by a master, I can't help you with that."

  As soon as I finished, I immediately knelt on the ground and shamelessly shouted "Master!" Thirteen Lang hurriedly helped me up: "Damn it, what are you doing? Do you know that if the protagonist is so timid, readers will find it uncool?"

  I think to myself, whether the reader is satisfied or not isn't my problem, my goal is to get stronger, to pick up girls. These days, integrity is probably worth only 50 cents a catty, it's not a pity to throw it away. Why should I care?

  "Master, teach me!" I was very sincere and even widened my eyes to be cute, and Thirteen Lang finally couldn't bear it and agreed.

  "This place is too small, let's find a more open area and I'll teach you some basics first."

  "Alright master, there's a vacant lot not far behind my house, it's usually deserted, let's go now."

  "Let's go," Thirteen Lang gestured for me to lead the way, I responded with a sound, and Thirteen Lang said again: "Also, don't call me Master, it sounds weird."

  "What's your name?" I asked curiously.

  "Jade Emperor." Thirteen Lang shook his head and said shamelessly, to which I only replied with these few words: "This name is not wrong."

  The empty land was just a few hundred meters away from my home, it was a deserted lawn, and I arrived with Thirteen Lang soon.

  Looking around, everything is pitch black. In the depths of the lawn, men and women are playing a game that belongs to two people, which is also a very normal thing.

  I said to Thirteen Lang: "Help me sense if there's anyone around here. Although everyone can't see you, if they see me alone here and it attracts police or media attention, that wouldn't be good."

  "Alright." Thirteen Lang closed his eyes and sensed carefully, suddenly opening them wide and pointing to a certain place in the southeast direction of the lawn, "There, someone!"

  "Damn it, I'll scare them away." I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart. Such a secluded and dark place must be hiding people, definitely intimate couples: brother is envious, jealous and hateful!

  As I walked towards the southeast direction, it was a very secluded thicket. Because my brother had recently come into contact with many gods and ghosts, he didn't feel so afraid of those unknown things. Slowly approaching that thicket, the wild grass was swaying, it must be there: damn it, still playing so wildly, let's see how I'll deal with you!

  I quickened my pace, and when I was only two or three meters away from the swaying lawn, I suddenly let out a loud "Wow!" I thought for sure that the other party would be scared stiff, but unexpectedly, all I heard was a faint "Wang" sound coming from the grass thicket, and two small dogs were frightened and ran away in disarray.

  I was instantly petrified and then slowly crumbled into powder.

  Damn it, it's actually a dog!

  ……

  In response to this, I hereby severely condemn the current generation of young people: Please take yourselves seriously, you are so young and not studying well, what will become of you when you grow up?

  I was so angry that I had nowhere to vent, and Thirteen Lang found out later and kept mocking me. I asked speechlessly, "Grass, is there anyone else here?"

  "Ah ha, that's it, that's it." Thirteen Lang laughed so hard his stomach hurt, I still didn't get the joke and said, "Then let's start, don't waste any more time."

  "Alright, let me gather my thoughts." Thirteen Lang saw that I was unhappy and didn't dare to laugh again, his expression turned serious.

  Thirteen Lang smiled and said: "Let's start with the basics first, you need to figure out why high-level soul bodies can drive magic, but humans can't."

  I said: "Don't be mysterious, just say it clearly once and for all, otherwise readers will get annoyed."

  Thirteen Lang nodded and said, "First of all, you need to understand the concept of a spiritual field. A spiritual field refers to the aura produced by a soul. In fact, every soul can produce a spiritual field, but the level of the spiritual field is directly related to the strength of the soul. The stronger the soul, the wider the range of the spiritual field, and the greater the pressure exerted on other souls."

  I raised my hand and asked: "This sounds a bit abstract, I still can't understand how magic is produced, give me an example."

  "Alright, I'll demonstrate." Thirteen Lang spread his hands apart and muttered a string of incantations. As he finished with the words "Come out for me," over a hundred ghostly spirits suddenly appeared in mid-air, their presence overwhelming, and could be described in one word: awesome!

  "Rub, you quickly tell me what's going on, how can we summon so many ghosts." I asked eagerly.

  "Just now, I released my spiritual aura, and the ghosts within a few miles would feel the pressure of my soul, in other words, they felt threatened by me and had to obey me. After that, I chanted a string of ghostly incantations that all the ghosts could understand, summoning them to come immediately, so they all gathered here." Tian Shi saw many ghosts floating in the air, including some female ghosts who were attracted to his good looks and wanted to seduce him, and he quickly rebuked them: "This is none of your business, hurry up and get out of here!"

  As soon as the words fell, all the ghosts escaped within three seconds, and I still had a few questions in my mind: one, how to release my own spiritual field, two, how to recite ghost language? Damn it, it's easy to say, but hard to do.

  I told these thoughts in my heart to Thirteen Lang, and Thirteen Lang started scratching his head, indicating that it was difficult to say clearly. Finally, he said to me with a heavy heart: "As long as your heart is full of love and you have a grateful heart, you can easily do it."

  "I'm fed up with you!"

  I busied myself for an entire evening, and finally I decided not to play with Thirteen Lang anymore, so I went back to my room to sleep. Since I didn't pay attention to him, he went out alone.

  Until the next morning, Thirteen Lang didn't come back. It seems he is indeed that kind of charming and flirtatious man, no wonder Lisi wanted to discipline him with a whip.

  It's been a long time since I last attended class. Skipping classes again wouldn't be good for my relationship with the head teacher, so after having some snacks prepared by my sister, I shouldered my backpack and headed to school.

  As soon as I arrived at the classroom, I was shocked: Chen Fei and Chen Xiao still didn't come to class today, but that's not the point. The point is that there are two more desks in the corner of the classroom, and the person sitting behind the desk looks very familiar, who else could it be if not Zhang Feng?
