Chapter 289: The Influence of the Spirit Master Guild II
Just then, Tang Weiwei, who had been sitting in the carriage, spoke up. Having lived in the 21st century, she habitually raised her legal weapon. "Even if you're kicking us out, you should at least explain what law we've broken. It seems according to traffic regulations, kicking people off a vehicle without reason is illegal."
"Who said I was kicking you off? I'm kicking those two out. Look at them, they're eating our food, doing nothing for us. They pick up their bowls to eat, then put them down to curse. They're such ungrateful bastards! I won't do business with them," the coachman retorted.
"You'd better explain yourself clearly today."
Tang San's rage had reached a fever pitch. If they didn't explain themselves, even at the risk of being tracked down by the Spirit Master Guild, he would make them bleed.
Tang Weiwei echoed, "That's right, how can you slander others for no reason?"
"Alright, today I'll make things clear with you." The driver first looked at Yu Xiaogang. "Just now I heard them calling you teacher, but look at what you're teaching. I won't mention those bizarre and erroneous theories."
"Even an ordinary person like me, who only received a few years of compulsory education and isn't a spirit master, knows that when an animal spirit absorbs a plant spirit ring, it will cause the spirit ring to reject it. And you actually let a child with a Gale Devil Wolf spirit absorb a nearly five-hundred-year-old plant spirit ring."
"Boy, if I'm not mistaken, you almost exploded when you absorbed that spirit ring. You're lucky." This was addressed to Tang San. It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but once he did, Tang San was startled, because the other person was right; he had indeed almost exploded.
"And the power of your spirit skills isn't that great. You may not feel it now, but when you become a higher-level spirit master, you'll realize how much it limits you."
But the driver's next words made Tang San scoff. A mere man without even spirit power dared to make such a judgment. It was simply laughable.
Were all the mercenaries in the Spirit Master Guild so arrogant?
No, it wasn't so much arrogance as a mixed bag.
Yu Xiaogang's face, on the other hand, darkened instantly. Having read and even studied the Spirit Master Training Manual, he naturally knew about spirit ring rejection.
It was just that because it contradicted his theory of spirit mimicry, he had subconsciously ignored it. Now that the other party had mentioned it, he felt as if his theory was being questioned.
It made him uncomfortable.
If the other party wasn't a mercenary from the Spirit Master Guild, and he had finally received two extremely talented disciples, he would have unleashed a Luo San Cannon and killed him with a single fart.
The driver ignored Tang San and continued to address Yu Xiaogang, "I don't care how you mislead the young men. It's your business, a matter of choice. But your slander of the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Master Guild is truly infuriating."
"You just said that the Spirit Hall's Spirit Master subsidies are funded by the two empires. Then let me ask you, where does the empire's money come from? Isn't it from us ordinary people? It's collected from us ordinary people. As the saying goes, take from the people, give back to the people. If there weren't the Spirit Hall, would the empire still provide Spirit Master subsidies? Would anyone awaken Spirits for ordinary people? Would you even accept this ugly boy as your disciple?"
"This..." The driver's question stumped Yu Xiaogang, because he hadn't even considered such matters.
His impression of the Spirit Hall was limited to how they had wronged him, imprisoned him for eight years, and castrated him, rendering him unmanly.
The driver answered in the affirmative, "The answer is no. Even an ordinary person like me who cannot receive the soul master subsidy understands this simple truth, but you are ignorant of it. Do you not know it, or are you deliberately distorting the facts? I'm afraid you are from an aristocratic family. Because the Spirit Hall issues soul master subsidies, it allows common people to rise up, and infringes on the interests of you noble lords."
"This is not a reason for the Spirit Hall to interfere in other people's affairs." Seeing Yu Xiaogang being humiliated, Tang San, as Yu Xiaogang's disciple, refuted on her behalf.
Tang Weiwei was naturally on the same front as San Giegie, "Yes, the Spirit Hall clearly has wolfish ambitions, intending to overthrow the two empires and complete the ambition of unifying the continent."
The driver looked at the two of them with disdain and snorted coldly, "In that case, you can just hate the Spirit Hall, because the Spirit Hall has affected the interests of the nobles, and you are inclined to the nobles and willing to be their dogs, which is understandable. By the way, don't take the soul master subsidy, otherwise, while enjoying the preferential policies of the Spirit Hall, you pick up the bowl to eat, and put down the bowl to curse your mother, don't you think it's shameless?"
"You..." Tang Weiwei was speechless, and Tang San was embarrassed and angry.
The driver looked at Yu Xiaogang again. "Also, you just said that the Spirit Master Guild issues missions to mercenaries in order to enslave all the spirit masters in the world? Well, let me ask you, does the Spirit Master Guild force anyone to register as a mercenary? Or anyone to complete a mission? On the contrary, not only have the spirit masters demonstrated their worth and earned respect, but they've also received generous rewards. Even ordinary people like us have benefited greatly. Impoverished families who work hard have all seen their lives improved, no longer suffering from bullying."
"And a treacherous villain like you, enjoying the benefits of the Spirit Master Guild while slandering it, I've never seen anyone as shameless as you."
By the time he finished speaking, saliva was already flying from his mouth.
"You... you're unreasonable."
The driver's simple words nearly drove Yu Xiaogang insane.
She was breathless.
With those last words, her face flushed red. She simply glanced away and jumped off the carriage, not even calling out to Tang San or Tang Weiwei, not even looking back.
Just like when she escaped from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan alone.
Tang San and Tang Weiwei exchanged a glance. God knows how much Tang San wanted to shoot the arrow in his sleeve.
But considering that the other party had the protection of the Spirit Master Guild, if he really tracked them down to the end as Yu Xiaogang said, it would definitely not be worth it.
After repeated consideration, Tang San chose to give up killing the other party.
But he completely hated the Spirit Master Guild.
Before leaving, he also took the money bag that the coachman had thrown on the ground. It must have contained more than just their fares, but also the coachman's own profits. He regarded it all as interest.
