Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 386: Paying Respects to Master

"Alright, stop pledging your resolve here." Lin Yu broke the somewhat solemn atmosphere. "Since you've decided to wear that hat, you'd better carry yourself like someone who deserves it."

"Starting tomorrow, put aside all those messy miscellaneous studies of yours."

"Besides cultivating the 'Like Water Art' and nurturing your Dao foundation, the rest of your time, you will dedicate yourself to studying formations for me, your teacher."

"You are now the 'Heir of the Shen Family.' If you can't even lay out a decent ancient formation, you'll be slapping the Grand Elder in the face. By then, forget about the Soul-Nurturing Wood Pith—he might just slap you back into your mother's womb with a single hand."

As soon as Su Ming heard this, his face instantly fell. "Master, I still have to study? Your disciple's brain nearly exploded these past few days just trying to establish my Foundation."

"Less nonsense." Lin Yu said irritably. "One more skill never weighs anyone down. Besides, do you think those things were given away for free? When you eat someone's food, your mouth goes soft; when you take someone's gift, your hand goes short. Get the hell to sleep. Wake up at the Mao hour tomorrow and start memorizing your texts."

Su Ming let out a howl of anguish and threw himself onto the stone bed.

But he wasn't truly complaining.

He turned onto his side, looking at the Xuantian Ring on his finger. In the dim lamplight, the ring glowed with a warm, matte luster.

He knew what his master had gone through tonight.Facing the scrutiny of a Nascent Soul mighty figure, risking the danger of having his soul scattered to the winds, his master didn't run. Instead, he fought to secure the greatest possible benefits for him.

Behind those joking words lay a gamble with his life.

Su Ming closed his eyes, pulled the blanket higher, and covered half his face.

"Master."

"Hm?"

"Thank you."

"...What for?"

"Nothing. I just wanted to say it."

Within the ring, Lin Yu didn't speak anymore.
