183 Peculiar Mentality (1/2)

Mu Lan found it strange to see Xu Tianyu’s reply letter. Although she had no idea why he insisted on her sending Lin Huang’s documents to Mr. Fu so that he could say something good about Lin Huang to Old Li. However, she obliged and wrote a proper letter, sending it to Mr. Fu together with the documents later.

When Mr. Fu received the letter, he was fishing on the sea smiling while smoking his pipe. The sun was setting with the red sun right above the horizon. When he finished going through Mu Lan’s letter and documents as well as the video of Lin Huang that was included, Mr. Fu held his head up. It was hard to tell if he was glad or upset, he proceeded to smoke while looking far into the horizon.

Awhile later, he looked at the photo of him fishing which was taken by Lin Huang earlier. He then looked at the red sun that was the same color appeared in the photo, he took a long breath.

”Is this fate…”

He sat on the high chair while he zoned out into the horizon. He seemed to be thinking and just when the sun was setting on the horizon, the fishing rod on his hand became heavy.

”Hmm?”

Mr. Fu snapped out of it and realized that the fishing rod was pulled down. He raised his eyebrow, pulled up the fishing rod and saw a golden fish appear from the water. It then fell hard on the deck of the spaceship. Looking at the half-dead Goldenink Grouper, it was a similar size to the one that he caught a few days back. He was stunned at first but soon, he let out a big smile.

He proceeded to send a message to Old Li of the Hunter Association with Lin Huang’s details. It was a short message that read, ”I want this kid!”

Old Li thought it was ridiculous when he received Mr. Fu’s message. After he looked at the documents that were attached together with the message and Lin Huang’s details, he looked doubtful. He remembered Lin Huang as the young man that he rejected from the intensive training list a few days ago.

”A young man that's wanted by Mr. Fu… Seems like my judgment was wrong…” After staring at Lin Huang’s documents for a long time, he let out a sigh, knowing that there was no return. Meanwhile, Mr. Fu had found Lin Huang’s contact details on his communication device. He then called Lin Huang immediately…

When Lin Huang saw Mr. Fu’s call request, Lin Huang thought it was odd. He was eating grilled fish at a barbecue stall when Mr. Fu called, he picked up the call anyway. In the video, Mr. Fu was smiling warmly as usual.

”Good evening, Mr. Fu.” Lin Huang greeted him with a smile.

”Boy, are you eating grilled fish?” Mr. Fu saw the half-eaten grilled fish on the table in front of Lin Huang.

”Yeah. Have you eaten, Mr. Fu?” Lin Huang not sure what was the purpose of the call but he smiled and answered politely anyway.

”I’m just about to, look at what I got!” Mr. Fu showed Lin Huang what was behind him, it was a Goldenink Grouper. Mr. Fu then rotated the screen back to himself and smiled, ”Seeing the grilled fish that you’re eating, I shall do that today as well!”

Lin Huang gulped as he remembered how good Mr. Fu’s cooking was. It was the cooking of a real Food Hunter, unforgettable.

”Hehe…” Mr. Fu saw that from the video.

”Would you like to try my cooking again, boy?”

”Of course I do, I could never forget how good your cooking is. However, it will have to wait as I have errands to run tomorrow morning. I'll meet you one day for a good feast.” Lin Huang shook his head and smiled as he had to make it to the spaceship tomorrow.

Mr. Fu did not expect Lin Huang to reject his invitation. Initially, he wanted to lure him in with food and talk to him when Lin Huang was on his spaceship. However, that plan would not work now. After some hesitation, he decided to ask directly, ”Boy… What do you think about being my apprentice?”

Lin Huang was stunned, although he was not sure who exactly Mr. Fu was, however, he thought they were fated. Moreover, he was impressed by Mr. Fu’s ability to capture the Goldenink Grouper with only his Life Power the other day.

Seeing Lin Huang was stunned, Mr. Fu added, ”Think about it, let me know as soon as possible…”

”Would you teach to fish like you did as well?” Lin Huang asked.

”Of course I'll teach you. However, to be able to perform detachment and objectification with your Life Power, you'll need to be at least at the holy-fire level. If you'd like to disguise yourself as some other creature to escape monsters, you'd need to be on an even higher level…” Mr. Fu explained.

”I agree!” Lin Huang agreed to be Mr. Fu’s apprentice immediately.

Mr. Fu was stunned this time, he did not expect Lin Huang to accept his request so fast. ”Just like that?”

”Is there something wrong?” Lin Huang asked him back.

”Alright then. From today onwards, you, Lin Huang shall be Fu Qingshan’s apprentice!” Mr. Fu was scared that Lin Huang would regret his decision so he announced it hurriedly.
