Chapter 6: The Jokers in Poker -
Inside the Spirit Hall.
Flanders hurried into the hall and, upon seeing Kelin, called out eagerly.
"Bishop Kelin, is it true what you said before that you could help me with the paperwork?"
Hearing Flanders' voice, Kelin smiled brightly.
"Of course,"
he said, stepping forward and taking Flanders' wrist in a warm gesture.
"Dean Flanders, there's no need to worry about the paperwork.
I'll arrange for someone to help you as soon as possible. I also have something to trouble you with this time."
Flanders wasn't surprised.
He'd guessed this before coming here; he and Kelin had no connection.
Yet, Kelin suddenly arranged for someone to visit him at the academy, offering to help with the paperwork.
Even a fool could see the problem.
After calming himself, Flanders spoke.
"Bishop, please tell me. I'll do my best to satisfy any request you may have." Kelin's
smile widened. Then, reaching back, he pulled Qin Ming out. "Dean Flanders, let me introduce you. This is our Spirit Hall's rising star—Qin…" "Qin Ming?" Flanders interrupted Ke Lin before he could finish. Flanders pointed at Qin Ming in disbelief. "Why are you here?" Flanders felt like he'd been taunted. He'd clearly agreed to consider his own academy, so why had he suddenly come to the Spirit Hall ? Flanders, known for his unscrupulous nature, had a dark expression. Qin Ming didn't say anything, simply smiling and clasping his fists at Flanders. "I'm sorry, Dean Flanders, the Spirit Hall is my choice." Flanders' eyes flickered, and his expression darkened. Not long ago, Liu Erlong, whose marriage had been abandoned by Yu Xiaogang, had also arrived in Soto City. He had hoped to seize this opportunity to pursue Liu Erlong again, but who could have imagined that Liu Erlong would simply give him a quick rebuff? "I'm sorry, Brother Flanders, Xiaogang is my choice," he said, without a care in the world. He directly asked him about Yu Xiaogang's whereabouts... At this moment, Flanders felt that Qin Ming's figure in front of him overlapped with Liu Erlong. Both of them abandoned him without hesitation, choosing the other side. Anger, helplessness, regret, all kinds of emotions surged in Flanders' heart. Just when Flanders was upset, Ke Lin's voice interrupted his thoughts. "Dean Flanders, do you know Qin Ming?" Hearing this, Flanders sighed. "Not long ago, I tried to recruit Qin Ming, hoping that he would join my Shrek Academy. But Qin Ming refused me because he hadn't made a plan yet." As he spoke, Flanders looked at Qin Ming with some resentment. Noticing Flanders's gaze, Qin Ming shuddered inexplicably. "Don't come over here." Just as Qin Ming was silently complaining about Flanders, Ke Lin's voice rang out again. "So Qin Ming almost became your student. What a fate. Dean Flanders. I invited you here this time because I hope you can lead several teachers from your academy to help Qin Ming hunt for the third soul ring with me." Hearing what Ke Lin said, Flanders was obviously stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.
Flanders' eyes widened, staring at Qin Ming in astonishment.
"Qin Ming, you've broken through to Soul Master?"
Qin Ming, noticing Flanders' gaze, spread his hands.
"Dean Flanders, after the graduation ceremony yesterday, I had a realization, and then I accidentally broke through."
Hearing Qin Ming's words, Flanders's mouth twitched.
"What do you mean by accidentally breaking through? Is that even human?
Xiaogang's been stuck at Soul Level 29 for years..."
Glancing at Qin Ming again, Flanders suddenly realized something, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
"Qin Ming, you don't look like you're even 13 yet!"
"Yes."
Qin Ming's answer only deepened Flanders's regret.
"Why was I pretending to be so great yesterday?
How could such a promising young man end up in the Spirit Hall?"
Looking at Qin Ming before him, Flanders felt like slapping himself in the face.
Ke Lin, standing beside him, seemed to have read Flanders's thoughts.
Frowning, Kelin, sensing something was amiss, quickly stepped between Qin Ming and Flender.
Blocking Flender's view with his body, Kelin spoke.
"Dean Flender, I've already reported Qin Ming's information to Spirit City.
With his talent, he's bound to receive strong training from our Spirit Hall.
I've invited you here this time to invite the experts from your Shrek Academy to join me in a deep dive into the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a rare spirit beast for Qin Ming..."
Noticing a hint of hostility in Kelin's tone, Flender quickly straightened his stance.
"Bishop Kelin is right.
The Spirit Hall is the most suitable place for Qin Ming."
At this moment, Flender felt his heart bleed as he spoke.
When Liu Erlong had rejected him, he'd been forced to say something similar...
With a sigh, Flender asked again.
"Bishop Kelin, what soul beast are you planning to choose for Qin Ming?
My brother Yu Xiaogang is a renowned master of martial soul theory. I can put him in touch with him.
I'm sure he'll be able to come up with the best plan for Qin Ming."
Qin Ming's lips twitched upon hearing this, and he couldn't help but internally complain.
"You're still defending Yu Xiaogang...
Your good brother has already stolen the woman you love, and now, twenty years later, he's going to steal the academy you worked so hard to build.
And what's more, after stealing your beloved, that bastard chose to run away from the marriage.
Dean Flanders, in Liu Erlong's eyes, you're probably three levels lower than a spare tire..."
Just as Qin Ming was pondering this, Kelin muttered.
"Yu Xiaogang? That name sounds familiar...
Oh, right, isn't he that good-for-nothing?
Um, Dean Flanders, I'm so sorry, I just said it casually..."
Flanders felt a little embarrassed at Kelin's unconscious words.
But Flanders was well aware of Yu Xiaogang's reputation on the mainland.
After sighing inwardly, Flanders stopped talking about Yu Xiaogang.
After spending some time to adjust his mood, Flanders began to discuss the time of action with Kelin.
After agreeing to meet early tomorrow morning, Flanders hurried away.
After Flanders' back disappeared, Kelin turned his head to look at Qin Ming and said earnestly.
"Qin Ming, I'm telling you something.
Don't listen to Flanders' nonsense.
That Yu Xiaogang is a charlatan. We have many true masters of spirit theory in our Spirit Hall.
Believe me, our Spirit Hall is the best place for you!
Believe me, we all have a bright future."
Qin Ming's mouth twitched when he heard Kelin's words...
