"You have joined the Spirit Pagoda and become my disciple. I should assign you a position in the Spirit Pagoda. You can tell me what position you want. Even if you want to become a Spirit Pagoda Spirit Envoy, I can arrange it for you," Qiangu Dongfeng said.
On the way, Deputy Tower Master Li and Shi Yu talked a lot about the Spiritual Tower, and positions were mentioned in particular.
Even if he didn't have a God's perspective, he knew how high the position of a Spirit Messenger was.
"I'm not really interested in these positions. I just want to work hard to become stronger. I can retire earlier if I can reach the ultimate state. Then I can go wherever I want and live in seclusion in the mountains. It's so free." Shi Yu looked longing.
"It's a good thing to cultivate your dreams to the limit, but these ideals behind you..." Qiangu Dongfeng looked at Shi Yu with strange eyes. It was difficult to evaluate his ideals.
"Maybe it was influenced by my parents. I am not interested in those statuses and positions, and I don't want to be bound by them. I just want to improve and become stronger, and then live a free life." Shi Yu scratched his head awkwardly.
"This is actually quite good." Qiangu Dongfeng smiled. He was more willing to see the other party's lack of ambition.
"I will do my best to help you realize your dream of becoming stronger, and I will spare no effort to help you improve your soul power. You don't need to worry about souls and battle armor, just focus on your training," said Qiangu Dongfeng.
"Thank you, teacher," Shi Yu said happily.
"I am your teacher, this is what I should do." Qiangu Dongfeng showed a kind smile.
After saying a few more words, he asked someone to take Shi Yu to the residence that had been prepared for him.
"Many of the prepared words were not used." Lying in the new room and on the new bed, Shi Yu felt very surprised.
He had expected Qiangu Dongfeng to be not so easy to talk to, nor to be wary of his own talent, and seemed to really intend to devote all his efforts to cultivating him.
Could it be that I am judging others by my own standards?
With this thought in mind, Shi Yu stayed at the Spiritual Pagoda headquarters for two days.
I have basically spent the past two days in the library of the Spiritual Pagoda, with a strong desire for knowledge.
This is also in line with his personality. After all, he is a child from the mountains and forests. He has not read many books, so it is reasonable for him to be very curious and want to read more books.
Look here and there, and silently write down the books you are interested in so that you can borrow them all at once when you leave.
"The tower master wants you to come over," someone came to the library and found Shi Yu and said.
"I'll be there right away." Shi Yu left the library and walked on the road, wondering what Qiangu Dongfeng wanted to talk to him about.
Near Qiangu Dongfeng's office, there was a sound coming from inside.
"I strongly disagree with your plan to train Shi Yu at any cost."
"It's true that he is very talented, but he has just joined the Spirit Pagoda. Is it worth your efforts to cultivate him?"
"Let's not talk about whether his talent can be realized into strength. Just talking about his loyalty to the Spirit Pagoda, do you think it is worth giving him such great trust?"
"Your training plan is to train him to be someone who is absolutely loyal to the Spirit Pagoda."
"This is not appropriate. He has only been in the Spirit Pagoda for a short time. Who knows what he will think in the future. He may not be worthy of such trust."
"And your decision to accept him as your disciple is quite irresponsible."
"The pagoda master's disciple is basically the future pagoda master's successor to the Spirit Pagoda. Do you think it's appropriate to let him become the pagoda master's successor?"
"His cultivation talent may be high enough, but becoming a tower master is not just about strength. He also needs strong management skills, otherwise the Spiritual Pagoda may fall into unprecedented chaos."
Shi Yu heard the quarrel clearly, and after some realization, he said that he should not have underestimated Qiangu Dongfeng.
After all this time, he had planned this drama for me.
He called me over here, probably intentionally to let me hear the quarrel.
After hearing this, Shi Yu could guess what Qian Gu Dong Feng was going to say next.
It was nothing more than how much he trusted him as a disciple and was willing to vouch for him.
Then when you hear it, you should be grateful and go in to show your loyalty so that they can trust you unconditionally.
"There are quite a lot of tricks," Shi Yu complained in his heart, repeating the words he had thought of in his mind.
The other party has a routine, and I also have a script. Life is like a play, and it all depends on acting.
"Teacher" had almost heard what he had said, so Shi Yu pushed the door open and walked in, looking very moved.
Qian Gu Dong Feng just said that he would trust Shi Yu unconditionally.
"Did you hear everything?" Qiangu Dongfeng frowned, as if he didn't want Shi Yu to know this.
"Yes, I heard everything." Shi Yu nodded, clenched his fists, and looked angrily at the old man who was arguing with Qiangu Dongfeng inside.
"Although I have only joined the Spirit Pagoda not long ago, the people there have been very kind to me and have helped me a lot. I am very grateful."
"I will never do anything harmful to the Spirit Pagoda in the future, let alone betray the Spirit Pagoda."
"If you don't believe me, I can swear on my spirit that I will never betray the Spirit Pagoda."
"I will not think of becoming the so-called successor of the pagoda master by relying on my status as the pagoda master's disciple. I have no intention of doing this. I only want to practice."
Shi Yu spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice, extremely angry.
The old man was somewhat satisfied with Shi Yu's statement, but it was not enough.
"I am not deliberately trying to make things difficult for you, but the status of the pagoda master's disciple is very important and of great importance, so I have to be cautious."
"Since you have no intention of becoming the tower master, I hope you can make a promise and sign a letter of commitment. After the Spiritual Pagoda trains you, you will only assist the new tower master wholeheartedly and will not participate in the fight for the tower master position," the old man said.
"Master Yun, aren't you going too far? What if Shi Yu shows enough talent to manage the Spirit Pagoda in the future? Wouldn't this promise delay him?" Qiangu Dongfeng said angrily.
Shi Yu saw through everything but didn't say it out loud. Instead, he said first: "Teacher, I really don't want to be the tower master. I just want to live a free life."
"But the Spirit Pagoda has also cultivated me. I actually need to rely on the Spirit Pagoda's resources to forge battle armor, so I should repay the Spirit Pagoda."
"I can swear that I will do my best to help the Spirit Pagoda whenever it needs me, and I will also do my best to assist the new Pagoda Master."
"I can be the guardian of the Spirit Pagoda instead of its manager."
"You don't have to do this at all," Qiangu Dongfeng sighed, but in his heart he was very satisfied with Shi Yu's answer.
The old man called Yun Lao smiled and nodded with satisfaction: "You are really a good child, but some of my thoughts are not presentable."
That being said, the oath was made and the commitment was signed.
After this incident, Shi Yu actually felt more at ease. He was not afraid of Qiangu Dongfeng restricting him, but he was afraid that he would blindly trust him, which would make him uneasy.
After gaining Qiangu Dongfeng's trust, Shi Yu's authority in the Spiritual Pagoda increased significantly.
He also took full advantage of these permissions to get what he wanted.
Time soon came to the last day of the seven-day journey. A soul guide car drove out of the Spiritual Pagoda headquarters and headed towards the direction of Donghai City.
In the car was Shi Yu, who was going home to see his parents under the pretext of going home. The driver was a Soul Saint, who was sent by Qiangu Dongfeng to take him there as a part-time protector.
Shi Yu sat in the back row, stroking the storage rings on his left and right middle fingers out of boredom, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.
