Old Amith after all was a village elder and could still read a person's mood. From the gatekeeper's expression he could see that this middle aged person absolutely was not ranked low at this academy, and even more held the title of grandmaster there.
The grandmaster looked over the certificate, his gaze again shifting to Sai Joshi, measuring him up and down. For some reason, although the grandmaster's gaze certainly was not sharp, Sai Joshi had a feeling as if it saw through him completely.
"There is nothing wrong with the certificate, old gentleman, for this matter just now let me apologize on behalf of the academy. Deliver this child to me, ok."
When a spirit grandmaster level personage apologized towards him, old Amith's vanity received an enormous boost, and he hastily shook both hands, saying:
"Don't apologize, don't apologize. We are also in the wrong. Grandmaster, I will trouble you with this child. Sai Joshi, you follow Grandmaster inside ok, but you must be obedient."
Sai Joshi nodded, but did not open his mouth.
Earlier, when this Grandmaster before him stopped the gatekeeper from charging at him, his left hand was already lifted, and for insurance, in has sleeve he was carrying a stick, that was coated with commonly beatle, and searmu plant posion was already readied. If this Grandmaster before him had spoken a step later, perhaps that gatekeeper's throat could have received a short arrow.
[Kally Sect Mysterious Heaven Profound Records, general principles.
third item: Determine whether the opponent is an enemy. If they are, then aim to kill. If not then show mercy, otherwise you shall only increase your worries.]
To Sai Joshi it seemed that the gatekeeper moving towards Old Amith was trying to strike an old man. In addition to his unkindness, this in itself was already enough to aim to kill. At the same time, he was also absolutely certain that including old Amith there was nobody who could detect him using that sleeve dart made of stick with poison. Without evidence, who could say that he killed? Kally sect's silent shot so extremely fast, it would only leave a shadow, and how could the doorkeeper have dodged with those trash capabilities?.
Not until after old Amith warned Sai Joshi several more times then he leave.
Grandmaster coldly glanced at that gatekeeper,
"This is the first time, and also is the last time. If there is a repeat offense, you need not remain here."
His hoarse voice was calm, but gave a feeling that made it impossible to refute.
The gatekeeper's back broke out in cold sweat, and he hurriedly repeatedly echoed agreement and got out of the way to the side.
Grandmaster turned his head to look at Sai Joshi, on his face emerged a slight smile. As if his facial muscles were stiff, the smile had an appearance that most people would not dare compliment. Dragging Sai Joshi's hand, he said:
"We're entering."
Grandmaster's hand was soft and dry, its grip very comfortable, imperceptibly bringing Sai Joshi a kind of sense of trust. Following him, Sai Joshi finally entered this academy.
"Teacher, thank you."
Sai Joshi said to Grandmaster.
"Teacher? I am not an academy teacher."
Grandmaster turned his head to glance at Sai Joshi, speaking coolly.
"Not a teacher? Just now did you not speak on behalf of the academy?"
Grandmaster shook his head, all along today he had been nothing but exceptionally patient, and again squeezed out a trace of that unsightly smiling expression,
"Who said one must be an academy teacher to represent the academy?"
Sai Joshi said with sudden realization:
"I understand. You are an academy principal, or a leader, right?."
Grandmaster could not help laughing, and said:
"You are very clever. However, you still guessed wrong."
Sai Joshi uncertainly said:
"Then you are?"
Grandmaster said:
"I am only a freeloading tenant at this place, that's all. You and the others alike called me Grandmaster, right. Everyone address me like this. Even to the extent that I have already forgotten my name. On the spirit hall certificate was written that you are called Sai Joshi, right. Sai Joshi, you must understand, the meanings of grandmaster and teacher are entirely different, and hereafter must not address me incorrectly. Unless… "
Saying this, his words slowed, in his eyes glimmered a burning light,
"Unless you are genuinely willing to make me your teacher."
"You want to teach me spirit cultivation?"
Sai Joshi asked.
Grandmaster halted his steps, standing calmly ,facing Sai Joshi.
"Are you willing to do that?"
Sai Joshi naturally also stopped, raising his head to look at Grandmaster before him, now observing at close range. Again looking him over from down to up, he discovered Grandmaster's mouth was a little large, and his lips also very thick. He didn't open his mouth, both unable to answer, and also unable to not answer.
Grandmaster saw Sai Joshi's both eyes staring at him blankly, and that stiff smiling expression once again emerged,
"Good, you really are a clever boy."
Not speaking had a second meaning. First not being impatient to refuse, so as not to offend Grandmaster. Second to use this action to inquire from Grandmaster, 'why must I acknowledge you as master?'
Grandmaster, resembling old Amith, raised his hand to tousle Sai Joshi's head.
"Naturally gifted, and also this clever. It seems even I must persistently try again. How should I say this? You also also the third person, who had twin spirits in these last hundred years."
Hearing grandmaster's words, Sai Joshi was greatly startled. His gaze looking at Grandmaster suddenly changed. He already quietly lifted his left wrist, a surprised unpredictable look appearing in his eyes.
Grandmaster calmly and in an easygoing way looked at him. Smiling, he said:
"Don't you want to know how I could know so quickly that you have twin spirits?"
Speaking, he flicked open the certificate in his hand that old Amith gave him,
"It is precisely because of this certificate. Perhaps another person looking could not find the flaw, but if I also could not see it, then I could not be called Grandmaster."
"I have investigated six hundred and forty seven people with body spirits. Among them were sixteen with spirit power, so the odds are less than three in a hundred. And even thesesixteen people possessing spirit power did not have spirit power ability exceeding the first rank, and yet your innate full spirit power is of the tenth rank. According to my research in the first of the ten great core spirit competencies, innate spirit power size is in direct ratio with the quality of the spirit. Spirit eyes is obviously unable to measure up, therefore I can conclude that you should still have another spirit, and also that it is an extraordinarily powerful spirit."
