Chapter 36 I'm Only Twelve Years Old

Hearing what Long Xiaoyao said, Wang Lin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of the conversation between Zhang Peng and Jing Hongchen in the morning, and said in a deep voice.

"Isn't this a betrothal gift?!"

As he spoke, Wang Lin realized who this carving knife was for. It must be for Jing Hongchen's granddaughter Meng Hongchen, who was one year older than him. Her martial soul was the Zhu Qing Bing Toad, whose attribute was ice, which just matched the attribute of this carving knife.

Well, if I pay the betrothal gift, my status will be worthy of her.

"Not necessarily, you have to be strong." Long Xiaoyao said faintly.

"Are you serious? I'm only twelve."

Wang Lin spoke, and suddenly thought that Zhang Peng must have received instructions from the old black dragon, which was why he mentioned the betrothal gift in front of Jing Hongchen.

"Twelve years old is not young anymore, it's better to settle down sooner rather than later."

"If not, you should take the carving knife back and give it to me when I am eighteen."

Wang Lin was almost speechless. This old Black Dragon was crazy. Meng Hongchen was only one year older than him. She was only thirteen years old. What kind of betrothal gift was this for a thirteen-year-old girl?
"It's not up to you to decide whether you want to do it or not. Hold the carving knife."

Long Xiaoyao pushed the jade box back and didn't care about Wang Lin's thoughts.

In his opinion, it was just like the so-called young man's love. He had met Meng Hongchen once and she was very good-looking.

Therefore, after seeing Meng Hongchen, this "young man" Wang Lin will inevitably fall in love.

"You are too young, Master."

Wang Lin was very helpless. No wonder Jing Hongchen always looked at him strangely. He already set his sights on someone else's granddaughter on the first day of school.

He thought it was justified that Jing Hongchen made things difficult for him.

"One year is not a big difference. With this carving knife, you actually have a great chance."

As Long Xiaoyao spoke, he seemed to want to share some experience with Wang Lin, but when he thought of his own situation, his mouth slightly opened, and he didn't know what to say.

"Is this carving knife important to Meng Hongchen?"

Obviously Long Xiaoyao misunderstood what he meant, but Wang Lin did not explain, but asked.

“It’s very important. This carving knife is called the Snow Clam Ice Blade. It ranks 86th on the carving knife rankings. It is made from the soul bone of a long-extinct top-level ice-attribute soul beast, the Snow Clam.

The martial spirit of Jing Hongchen's granddaughter is called Zhu Qing Bing Chan. Xue Ha is the superior soul beast of Zhu Qing Bing Chan, which can suppress the poison emitted from Zhu Qing Bing Chan's martial spirit. "

As he spoke, Long Xiaoyao looked at Wang Lin, somewhat helplessly. If this carving knife could solve the martial spirit problem of Jing Hongchen's granddaughter, then with his status as his apprentice, the matter would actually be settled.

But the problem of martial soul is not so easy to solve. It is said that the soul master family of the Green Phosphorus Snake martial soul has been looking for a solution to the martial soul defect ten thousand years ago, but has not found it yet.

"What about the situation with martial spirits like the Green Phosphorus Snake?" Wang Lin asked. This part was not mentioned in the original book.

"Almost." Long Xiaoyao nodded, and then said earnestly: "You should still try if you have a chance. The more identities you have, the safer you will be."

"What do you mean?" Wang Lin asked in a daze, but he already understood what Long Xiaoyao meant.

With Long Xiaoyao's strength and status in the Holy Spirit Church, the only person who could threaten or harm him, Long Xiaoyao's disciple, was the old woman Ye Xishui.

So Wang Lin could understand Long Xiaoyao’s worries. After all, Ye Xishui was a crazy woman. Long Xiaoyao obviously wanted him to come into the sight of the Sun Moon Empire’s top leaders to protect his safety.

To be honest, Wang Lin didn't quite understand why Long Xiaoyao could do this for him, a disciple he had only accepted for less than ten days.

"When you grow up and have more experience, you will understand it. Put away the carving knife." Long Xiaoyao shook his head without explaining. He suddenly said, "If someone really doesn't want to, you can't force them, otherwise I will break your legs."

It was obvious that Long Xiaoyao was not joking when he said this, he was saying it extremely seriously.

"Okay, Master." Wang Lin did not refute, and said seriously. He was not a pervert, and he did not like thirteen-year-old girls. He liked mature older sisters.

After covering the jade box, Wang Lin put it into the storage soul guide, preparing to find an opportunity to sell it to Jing Hongchen or Meng Hongchen.

As for the betrothal gift, he didn't even consider it.

After the little episode,
The old man and the young man returned to the yard. Long Xiaoyao sent Wang Lin back to his room and told him to pack his luggage and leave tomorrow morning.

Wang Lin naturally did not bother with Long Xiaoyao, nor did he go back to his room immediately. Instead, he went to take a look at Zhang Jian's room.

After confirming that Zhang Jian and Zhang Peng were not there, Wang Lin guessed that Zhang Peng had probably gone to teach Zhang Jian personally, and then returned to his room.

I took out the student code of conduct and the textbooks of basic theory courses and looked through them carefully. There was no important information in the student code of conduct. It just introduced the school rules of the college and the course arrangements for students.

The textbooks for the basic theory course briefly introduced the levels of soul engineers, the types of soul guide devices, the types of soul guide core arrays, and the soul engineers who made important contributions to the development of soul guide devices in the history of the Sun-Moon Empire.

What surprised Wang Lin was that among the soul masters introduced there were actually several first and second level soul masters, and the textbook praised these low-level soul masters highly.

The contribution of these soul guides to soul guide devices is mainly based on the transformation of soul guide technology. Please look at this part.

Wang Lin became interested in soul guides. At least half of the achievements of soul guides described in the basic theory course textbooks had nothing to do with soul guide weapons, but were about the innovation of soul guide technology.

This is why Wang Lin became interested in soul guides. When he was still in Xingluo City, he attended the soul guide courses offered by the city’s academy several times due to his noble status.

Basically, they teach you how to make various soul guide cannons and soul guide weapons. As for other types of soul guides, they are not mentioned at all.

Wang Lin naturally would not be interested in this, but the Sun-Moon Empire was different. This was a completely new world of soul guides.

Wang Lin spent the entire afternoon flipping through this simple textbook as it got dark.

Click!

The gate of the courtyard was pushed open. Wang Lin put down his textbook after hearing the sound, and looked up through the window into the courtyard.

Zhang Peng walked in carrying the sleeping Zhang Jian. Seeing this, Wang Lin hurriedly put away the textbooks and walked out of the room.

"Uncle Zhang, what's this?" Wang Lin noticed that Zhang Jian's breathing was steady, and he felt relieved and asked.

"After a day's training, this kid is exhausted." Zhang Peng said. Judging from his expression, he seemed to be quite satisfied with Zhang Jian.

"You accepted a disciple?"

"Well, I've accepted it. Zhang Jian didn't agree at first, but I had to put in a lot of effort to persuade him." With that, Zhang Peng sent Zhang Jian back to the room and put him down.

"Then Zhang Jian will be handed over to you. You must fulfill your responsibilities as a teacher, Uncle Zhang." Wang Lin waited for Zhang Peng to come out and spoke.

"You are the one who should be punished. Go to the academy by yourself tomorrow and study hard. Don't embarrass your master." Zhang Peng waved his hand and said in a deep voice.

"Got it, Uncle Zhang."

Wang Lin nodded. To be honest, he also wanted to live in the academy and live with Long Xiaoyao. He didn't even dare to take out the Living Wand, for fear that Long Xiaoyao would see through him.
