Chapter 13508 What an arrogant boy
"It's really rare that such an outstanding little fellow appeared. I really can't help but want to recommend him to Master. Maybe, in the future, he can become a new generation of great magic power in my Magic Tower and lead our magic to rise again!"

There was a hint of excitement and pride in the old man's voice, as if he had already seen Ling Xiao shine in the future.

Hearing this, the young man finally shifted his gaze from the guqin in his hand and turned to look at Ling Xiao, examining him carefully for a moment.

The corners of his mouth curled up into a faint smile, his eyes flashing with amusement and admiration: "It seems that your vision is really good this time. Finally, it is not those unsightly junks. Okay, you can go. When Master comes back later, I will report the situation to her. I believe she will be interested in this."

The young man's tone was relaxed and confident, as if he was well aware of what was about to happen.

After hearing this, the old man nodded repeatedly, a relieved smile on his face.

He looked at Ling Xiao again, his eyes full of encouragement and expectation: "Little guy, you know that my master is a leader in the magic world. Even though the Holy Hall dominates the world and the magic world is declining, my master's reputation is so great that even the people in the Holy Hall dare not provoke him easily.

If you are lucky enough to become her disciple, you will not only be able to greatly improve your martial arts, but also be able to get in touch with the most core mysteries and power of the magic. This is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you."

There was some earnestness and excitement in the old man's voice, as if he had already seen Ling Xiao going further and further on the path of magic and eventually becoming a glorious future of a great master of magic.

"Thank you, senior!" Ling Xiao bowed deeply with his hands clasped together, his attitude sincere and humble.

Then, he took out a stack of spiritual stones that were gleaming with a faint spiritual light from his storage ring and gently handed them to the old man with a gentle smile on his face. "This is just a small gift. Please don't despise it, senior. Just consider it as a little respect from me to you."

The old man originally intended to politely decline. After all, as a senior master in the Demon Tower, he naturally had his own pride and principles. However, when he glanced at the pile of spirit stones and saw the number of them, his pupils shrank and his breathing became a little faster.

This... this is too rich, isn't it? He can easily take out tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones? You know, even in a behemoth like the Zhaixing Tower, 10,000 high-grade spirit stones is an extremely large amount, enough to make countless cultivators jealous.

For the old man, it would take at least a year, through various means and efforts, to raise such a huge sum of money.

The old man couldn't help but feel an indescribable shock and emotion in his heart. He re-examined the young and mysterious Ling Xiao in front of him, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes. Finally, he nodded gently, with a bit of gratitude and promise in his tone, "You are thoughtful, I will take good care of you in the future."

After all, if you take something from someone, you should be grateful for it. Even if you are a demon cultivator, you still have to practice reciprocity. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for you to get benefits from others in the future.

As he spoke, the old man carefully accepted the spirit stones, with a meaningful smile on his face. He secretly thought that this Ling Xiao might really have extraordinary potential and background, and it was worth him making friends and cultivating him.

It's a pity that the master was not here at the moment, so he couldn't make any suggestions. He could only say a few good words for this kid later.

After the old man slowly left, Ling Xiao's eyes involuntarily turned to the young man who was quietly playing the piano. The sunlight shone through the sparse clouds and sprinkled on his body, adding a bit of extraordinary temperament to him. Ling Xiao gently arched his hands, with a hint of respect and curiosity in his voice: "Senior!"

The young man plucked the strings gently, and the last note floated melodiously in the air. He slowly raised his head, and his deep eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.

He looked Ling Xiao up and down carefully, and a gentle but meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Indeed, you have good aptitude, a clear bone structure, and a firm gaze. You are a good candidate for martial arts training. However, it is not so easy to become my master's apprentice."

Hearing this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel a strong desire for knowledge and challenge in his heart. He bowed slightly, his eyes flashing with a fiery light: "Senior's master must be an extremely powerful senior master, right?"

Seeing this, the young man smiled even more, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. He gently put down the zither in his hand, stood up, walked slowly to Ling Xiao, and smiled. There was a bit of mystery and confidence in that smile:
"From what you said, it seems that you don't believe in my master's strength until you meet her. Don't worry, when you really meet her, you will naturally understand what it means to truly transcend the ordinary and what it means to be at the pinnacle of martial arts."

As he spoke, his gaze seemed to penetrate time and space, as if he was looking at some distant and sacred place, where was the existence that he revered most in his heart.

Ling Xiao also raised his chin slightly and said with a firm look:
"Senior, please don't blame me for being arrogant. To be honest, there are not many people who can be my master. Even in this famous Zhaixing Tower, I'm afraid there are not many people who can be qualified. If your master's cultivation is only a little better than mine, then he is really not qualified to be my master. After all, in the way of martial arts, the one who is more accomplished comes first."

The young man's expression instantly turned cold, and his brows furrowed, as if he was angered by Ling Xiao's blunt words. He said in a deep voice: "What a arrogant boy! Has no one taught you to be polite in front of your elders? How can you gain a foothold in the martial arts world in the future if you are so arrogant?"

Seeing this, Ling Xiao hurriedly explained, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "I am just telling the truth, and I have no intention of offending you or your master. In the world of martial arts, strength speaks, and I am just expressing my own standards for choosing a master, and I have no other intentions."

The young man sneered, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, which seemed to be dissatisfaction, but also praise. "Haha." He smiled lightly, and then sat back in front of the piano, plucking the strings with his fingers, and the melodious piano sounded again, as if to melt all the unhappiness in this beautiful melody.

Ling Xiao looked at the young man's stern back and felt speechless. This senior was too narrow-minded. He was just speaking from the bottom of his heart. Was it necessary to treat him so coldly? He shook his head helplessly and thought to himself, maybe this is the world of Jianghu, a world where the strong are respected but also complex and changeable.

Shaking his head, Ling Xiao chose to avoid further argument with the young man, and instead sat quietly aside, closed his eyes, concentrated, and began to practice.

The air around him seemed to rhythmically follow Ling Xiao's breathing, and every breath seemed to be having a subtle exchange with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
