Chapter 293: Thank You, Ancestor

"Little girl, don't you know how to show filial piety to your elders?"

"Old senior, you are so old, if you eat too much, you won't digest it."

"Little girl, if you eat too much, you'll get fat, be careful you won't be able to get married?"

"Old senior, I am focused on the Great Dao and don't want to get married. Instead, you, an old man, have the nerve to compete with a little girl like me?"

Zhang Xingyu looked at the old man, then looked at his beautiful teacher.

They were staring at each other with big eyes. One grabbed the fish head, the other caught the fish tail, neither willing to give in.

Zhang Xingyu quickly stepped forward to persuade: "The two of you, don't hurt the harmony for a grilled fish. Old senior, you are a big person with a big heart, let the fish go to the beauty; beautiful teacher, you also calm down. Isn't it just a grilled fish? Let the fish go to the senior, and I will grill another one for you."

The old man and Huo Lingwu turned their heads and glared at him in unison: "Shut up!"

Demon King Hali covered her mouth and laughed.

Zhang Xingyu shook his head and walked to the pool to fish.

The fishing rod entered the pool and snapped instantly.

What the hell?

He didn't believe in evil and took out another fishing rod.

The fishing rod entered the pool and snapped again.

Is there really a ghost?

Zhang Xingyu looked at Huo Lingwu: "Beautiful teacher, this fish can't be caught. I still have to use your fish-catching spirit talisman."

Huo Lingwu glared at him: "The spirit talisman is gone. That Dragon-Seeking Talisman just now was something I had a hard time begging from Master."

The old man's eyes lit up: "Little girl, as long as you are willing to let go. The Dragon-Seeking Talisman, leave it to me."

Huo Lingwu snorted coldly: "Who are you lying to? Do you know what the Dragon-Seeking Talisman is made of? It's made from the dragon scales of a true dragon. Just you, do you have dragon scales?"

"Dragon scales, I don't have. But I can find a way to get them," the old man smiled.

"No, no. Even if you can get dragon scales, you might not be able to make a Dragon-Seeking Talisman. Even if you make a Dragon-Seeking Talisman, you might not be able to catch a dragon carp," Huo Lingwu shook her head.

The old man was so angry that his beard curled up: "You girl, you are too unforthright! This won't work, that won't work. Tell me, what do you want me to do to let it go?"

Seeing this, Huo Lingwu was secretly happy.

She giggled: "How about we have a competition. Whoever wins gets to eat."

The old man's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed: "Good. How to compete? Magic, alchemy, talisman making, weapon refining, array formation, choose whichever you want."

"Don't compare these. Comparing these is too cliché. Let's compare guessing coins."

"Guessing coins? Seems like a mortal game."

"Giggle. Why, old senior, don't you dare to compete? If you don't dare to compete, just admit defeat."

"Who said I, the old man, don't dare to compete? I like guessing coins the most."

"Good! Old senior, watch carefully."

Huo Lingwu spread her hands, one jade hand empty, and a spirit stone lying in the other jade hand.

"Old senior, if you guess which hand I have the spirit stone in later, you win."

The old man nodded, opening his eyes wide like two tubes.

Huo Lingwu retracted her palms and put her hands behind her back.

After a while, she stretched her two fists in front of the old man: "Old senior, guess."

The old man licked his tongue, a smug smile on his face.

This time, I'm sure to win.

Just now, he used his divine sense to sense it.

Huo Lingwu's left hand emitted a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy, while her right hand did not.

What does this mean? It means the spirit stone must be in her right hand.

This girl must have used spiritual power to suppress the spiritual energy fluctuation of the spirit stone, and then used her own spiritual power to forge the illusion of spiritual energy fluctuation in her empty hand.

Look at her wrist, the meridians are slightly swollen, this is the symptom of using spiritual power to fake it.

Using this little trick to win the barbecue?

Little girl, you underestimate me too much.

The old man confidently stretched out his finger: "Girl, open your right hand, the spirit stone is in your right hand."

"Old senior, are you sure?" A look of panic appeared on Huo Lingwu's face.

"I am sure."

"Don't change it, maybe it's in the left hand."

"Not changing. Open it, it's in the right hand."

Huo Lingwu's face was full of regret.

She shook her head gently, and then slowly opened her right hand.

The right hand was empty.

The old man was stunned.

"Impossible? Open your left hand and let me see."

Huo Lingwu slowly opened her left hand.

In the palm of her left hand lay a crystal-clear spirit stone.

Huo Lingwu giggled: "Old senior, I'm sorry, you guessed wrong. Now, this grilled fish belongs to me."

The old man reluctantly let go of the fish tail he was pulling.

"You girl, I don't know who taught you, you are so cunning. I, the old man, have bet with others, and I have never lost. I didn't expect to lose to a little girl like you this time."

The old man sighed and turned his gaze from the grilled fish to Demon King Hali.

"And you girl, what was that grilled fish you grilled just now? You wasted several dragon carp for nothing."

"Hmph!"

Demon King Hali snorted coldly and turned her head away, ignoring him.

The old man looked at Zhang Xingyu again: "Kid, your grilled fish skills are really good. What is your name, are you interested in being my disciple?"

Ah!

Zhang Xingyu was dumbfounded.

After a long while, he came to his senses: "Senior, junior already has a master."

"Is that so? That's a pity. It's a pity, I, the old man, have no luck with food."

The old man shook his head, waved his sleeves, and turned to leave.

"Senior, wait!" Huo Lingwu said.

The old man turned around upon hearing this: "Little girl, do you have something?"

Huo Lingwu handed the grilled fish to the old man: "Ancestor! You eat this fish!"

The old man did not reach out.

He looked at the grilled fish, then at Huo Lingwu: "Little girl, do you know me?"

Huo Lingwu nodded: "Disciple just recognized you. You should be Ancestor Zhou Baitong."

The old man nodded and reached out to take the grilled fish.

"You girl, you went to great lengths to win the grilled fish, but you brought it to give to me. Tell me, what do you need me to help you with?"

Huo Lingwu rolled her hair tips embarrassedly: "Ancestor, I took in a disciple outside the mountain, and I want you to make the decision to include him in our sect."

Upon hearing this, the old man bit directly into the grilled fish in his hand.

After eating the grilled fish, he licked his fingers, then looked up and asked: "Girl, what did you just say?"

"Ancestor, disciple took in a disciple outside the mountain, and I want you to make the decision to include him in our sect."

"Oh. I thought it was something else. A small matter."

Zhou Baitong took a copper coin from his bosom: "Girl, take this copper coin and find your sect leader. Tell Qingfeng, that kid, that I approved the disciple you took in."

"Thank you, Ancestor!" Huo Lingwu took the copper coin and bowed in thanks.

"Thank you, Ancestor!" Zhang Xingyu bowed and paid his respects.

Although he didn't have many thoughts about joining the Wanfa Immortal Gate. However, his beautiful teacher had gone to such great lengths to give him this opportunity, so he couldn't waste her good intentions.

Zhou Baitong looked at Huo Lingwu, then at Zhang Xingyu: "Kid, what are you thanking me for?"

Huo Lingwu shook his arm: "Ancestor, he is the disciple I took in outside the mountain." ===== CHAPTER 294 =====
