Chapter 241 – Subdue The Dragon And Tame The Tiger! (1/2)

Chapter 241: Subdue the dragon and tame the tiger!

Li Muyang sprang to his feet and cried out, his face flushed with anger: “Master Kong, why did you humiliate me? I want to be a disciple of Master Kong because I admire Master's character, I want to become like Master Kong, a great man completely devoted to enlightening people to have good virtue and serves the world as his duty. Secondly, I admire Master Kong's remarkable ability, I have long heard that Master Kong is one of the strongest in Starry Sky Academy. Although I had never see Master Kong display your ability, but I know Master Kong is very powerful. When I was standing outside the door and heard Master Kong's chanting, I instantly felt purified, as it penetrated my mind. It cleared away all my exhaustion and I felt my body full of positive energy.”

“These are the only reasons, there are absolutely no other thoughts. In Master Kong's opinion, I, Li Muyang, am I such a greedy and despicable person?”

Kong Li looked at Li Muyang sideways out of the narrow corner of his eyes. “I did not mean that, I just thought that Xiahou Qianbai can give you 'Authentic Scripture of Pervading Mystery', how can I, the official master be so stingy and not have any gifts for you? If words about this gets out Xiahou Qianbai would laugh and mock me. You mustn't misunderstand.”

“Master Xiahou treats his disciple very kindly and generously, so he gave me his own handwritten 'Authentic scripture of Pervading Mystery'. Disciple is deeply grateful, and is determined to diligently practice, in order to comprehend one of the Taoist secrets. I have never asked Master Xiahou for any gifts. Please understand Master Kong.”

“I do. I do.” Kong Li felt defeated by this boy. “You think I don't know what kind of person you are? So you should directly tell me what kind of gifts you like? So master can prescribe the right remedy, in case you don't like the gift. Wouldn't that be a waste?”

“——”

“I know you're gifted and also very diligent, master believes that one day you will conquer the world and soar above the Starry Sky. If Master could add l.u.s.tre to you, that is also something I'd like to see.”

Li Muyang rubbed his cheek, not expecting to encounter such an upright middle-aged man.

What present you want to give me just give me it directly, I'm not a picky person?

Do you think I would decline it? What kind of person do you think I am?

However, since he had mentioned it, it became an inopportune moment for Li Muyang to be evasive.

So, he looked at Kong Li sincerely. “I heard that Master Kong has the 'Subdue the dragon and tame the tiger mantra' this exquisite and refine technique. Once understood one can 'Subdue the dragon and tame the tiger'. Master Kong also know that my major is Dragon Slayer, and my dream had always been to be able to slay a real dragon——So, I would like to ask Master Kong to lend it to me, and help disciple complete my dream. I would be eternally grateful.”

Kong Li stared at Li Muyang, his expression wooden. “How do you know I have 'Subdue the dragon and tame the tiger mantra'?”

“This book is famous all over the world.” Li Muyang explained with a smile.

“I've only had it for a very short period of time, a few days ago I begged one of my elders to borrow it and only a few colleagues in Starry Sky Academy knew——Xiahou Qianbai told you? Or Yang Xiaohu?” Kong Li was not an idiot; he was obviously not easily tricked by a few words of Li Muyang.

“Disciple dare not say.” Li Muyang bowed his head.

“Must be Xiahou Qianbai.” Kong Li repeated coldly. “He gave away his 'Authentic scripture of pervading mystery', so he also want me to give away 'Subdue the dragon and tame the tiger mantra'. Isn't that right?”

“Hehe——” Li Muyang chuckled, a simple and foolish grin on his face.

He indeed came to know of the existence of 'Subdue the dragon and tame the tiger manta' from Xiahou Qianbai. After the 'atrocious conduct' of Kong Li forcibly taking him as disciple, Li Muyang naturally had to complain to Xiahou Qianbai and ask for help. He thought that since this matter could not be hidden from Xiaohou Qianbai and he would sooner or not later know, then he might as well directly tell him.

Surprisingly, Xiahou Qianbai was very open-minded and only faintly said, 'I knew this will happen, I just did not Kong Li would be so slow——but he has always been a slowcoach. You'll understand when you get to know each other. A man of old age cannot keep up the pace.'

Li Muyang fell to his knees, patted his chest and, to express his loyalty, cried, 'I Li Muyang is a man of high moral principles and integrity, and since I have been accepted as Master Xiaohou's disciple, born a disciple of Master Xiahou, I will die as a disciple of Master Xiahou. I wholeheartedly devote my heart and soul that no matter how powerful is Kong Li's background, how remarkable his ability and how much he makes things difficult for me from time to time I will definitely, surely and certainly refuse him——

Xiahou Qianbai indifferently shot a glance at Li Muyang. “There's no need. Furthermore, you also won't refuse him.”

Li Muyang had felt as though a sword pierced right through his heart, he thought that ever since he entered Starry Sky Academy he had frequently been insulted.

These people made him find back the familiar feeling of his childhood.

“'Subdue the dragon and tame the tiger mantra'” is pretty good. You can see if you can borrow it to read.” Xiahou Qianbai ordered, without the slightest regard of Li Muyang's feelings.

“Do I need to return it?” Li Muyang asked.

“No need.” Xiahou Qianbai answered.

“I will listen to Master.” Li Muyang said, giving a humble nod.

So, the two of them had decided to establish owners.h.i.+p of 'Subdue the dragon and tame the tiger'.

Li Muyang had knew that Kong Li and Xiahou Qianbai sharply opposed each other, like diamond cutting diamond, and it would be best to not help speak for either one of them at this time.
