Chapter 138: Chapter 137: Transaction

Gu Xi said, "I invited Xu Lingjun to become my student because I indeed have some other thoughts, but I absolutely mean no harm... I just wish to use Xu Lingjun’s status to accomplish some things."

Xu Lingjun glanced at Wang Qingya and asked, "What things?"

"This matter involves a very big secret, a hidden truth known only to me."

Gu Xi looked deeply at Xu Lingjun and said, "I can tell you, but I hope you promise me, once you know... if you agree, then of course that’s best, but if you disagree, please do not inform anyone about this matter, and even you yourself should forget it, okay?"

Xu Lingjun thought for a moment, then nodded.

"This actually involves our Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion’s rules."

Gu Xi said, "The Four Great Martial Mansions are located in different places, especially our Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, which is in the extreme northern region, an area with incredibly harsh conditions. Do you know why we still built a school here, and for years haven’t even constructed a single branch school?"

Xu Lingjun asked, "Why?"

"Because further north of Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, several dangerous places exist, which we refer to as secret realms. These secret realms are extremely perilous, and the reason why Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion is located here is to utilize the dangers within these secret realms to sharpen students’ battle experiences!"

Gu Xi explained in detail, "Moreover, whether the demon beasts or strange objects within the secret realms, their strength varies, so firstly, for the students’ safety, and secondly, to ensure students always maintain a cautious sense of crisis, entering these secret realms has strength restrictions."

"For Tier One students who have just enrolled, their strength is typically only within the Qi Gathering Realm, just beginning to grasp martial skills, and their combat ability is very limited, making them forbidden from entering secret realms. Only Second stage students are allowed to enter secret realms for trials, and Tier Three students are for another level of secret realm. As for Tier Four students like me, with considerable strength, if I want to hone myself, it’s not by going to secret realms but applying to head to the Polar Star Battlefield."

Gu Xi said, "Moreover, high-level students are not permitted to enter low-level secret realms. This rule is to prevent cheating unless she is an assistant tutor, aiming to safeguard her exclusive student’s safety."

Xu Lingjun frowned and asked, "You want to enter a low-level secret realm?"

"The Tier Three secret realm, Ice Snow Realm. Years ago, I discovered a huge secret there!"

Gu Xi deeply sighed, a slight gloom surfacing in her eyes, and in a low voice said, "I once encountered an Ice Snow Leopard attack there, and there were two leopards, one of which was pregnant."

She said, "At that time, we went to great lengths to barely escape with our lives, but also suffered serious injuries under the claws of those two Ice Snow Leopards!"

Xu Lingjun asked, "So your sudden desire to recruit students is because..."

Gu Xi asked back, "Have you heard of Companion Demon Beasts?"

Companion Demon Beasts?

Of course, Xu Lingjun had heard of them. The first time he saw a dead body was because of these so-called Companion Demon Beasts...

If it weren’t for the ’Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique,’ they might already be in the Yellow Springs, as a ghost couple together.

Unsure if Liu Yun had died due to the mysterious races of the heavens’ attack, if he had, that would certainly be great.

He said, "You mean Ice Snow Leopard?"

Gu Xi earnestly said, "I was attacked by the Ice Snow Leopard two years ago, and the leopard’s pregnancy period is three years. Calculate the time, when it fought us, its belly hadn’t shown, meaning it had just become pregnant. By now, it should not have given birth yet, and that place is very secretive, only I know, apart from you, I haven’t told anyone."

Xu Lingjun pondered and said, "You want to obtain a Companion Demon Beast, but you no longer have the opportunity to enter the secret realm, unless accompanying students as an assistant tutor... only now your reputation has hit rock bottom; no one wants to become your student, right?"

"It’s not that no one wants to become my student, I must actively choose as well."

Gu Xi earnestly said, "Before, I hadn’t thought of obtaining a Companion Demon Beast, but now, due to certain reasons, I have to make a move, though wanting to acquire a Companion Demon Beast, the time constraint is very tight. Before the Ice Snow Leopard gives birth, we must kill it and bring its embryo back to nurture with instruments. So my student’s qualifications must be high; within a year can become a Tier Three student; because if the Ice Snow Leopard is born, it’ll no longer be a Companion Demon Beast."

Xu Lingjun asked, "Tier Three student refers to..."

"Huichuan Realm!"

Gu Xi bitterly smiled, "Actually, my original target was Li Jingjun, but she is a noble son, her future path likely arranged, the people backing her might not consider me. But other than her, I can’t think of anyone qualified to become a Huichuan Realm martial artist within a year... so I had to treat a dying horse as if it’s alive, unexpectedly I happened upon you by chance, this is great, I don’t need to invite her."

Xu Lingjun only then realized.

He asked, "So, you want to use me to enter the Ice Snow Realm as an assistant tutor to snatch the Ice Snow Leopard cubs, then what do I get?"

"Ice Snow Leopard is viviparous, but does viviparous creatures only give birth to one?"

Gu Xi earnestly said, "As long as you agree to become my student, if at the time the cubs are two or more, I promise to give you one Companion Demon Beast, a Level 7 Companion Demon Beast, truly a priceless creature not available even for money, and capturing the Ice Snow Leopard will not involve you in risk, I handle everything, you just wait for the rewards."

Xu Lingjun asked, "What if there’s only one?"

"That possibility is small, but if indeed there’s only one..."

Gu Xi pondered for a while and gritted her teeth, "I’ve paid too much for this demon beast, impossible to just hand it over, but I will offer you ample compensation... at that time whatever you need, I assure you, it won’t be worth less than a billion, if you don’t trust me, I can write a guarantee, if I breach, then you can ruin my reputation."

She bitterly smiled, "This is the only promise I can give you, if even then you disagree, then forget it."

Xu Lingjun and Wang Qingya exchanged a glance.

Companion Demon Beast, means when a demon beast is born, if the first thing it sees is not its mother but a human, it regards that human as its mother, thus becoming a Companion Demon Beast.

The conditions for them are extremely stringent...

And a Level 7 demon beast can rival a Profound Realm Martial Artist.

Even due to its thick hide, its strength is fiercer!

But somehow feeling, this woman seems to be deliberately concealing something...

Or say, the conditions seem overly generous.

So much so that Xu Lingjun feels like a pie falling from the sky, inevitably worrying whether this pie is poisonous.

Nonetheless, since she is a martial mansion student, the likelihood of her having ulterior motives is indeed not large... in other words, the possibility of hidden agenda is low.

Wang Qingya could clearly see Xu Lingjun was tempted, she earnestly said, "Your conditions are indeed quite good, but we have one condition."

"Speak."

Wang Qingya earnestly said, "The pledge will be written by me, needing your handwritten signature and blood fingerprint, and I will invite my mentor as a witness, you can be assured, my mentor, Zhong Yuebai, you should’ve heard her name, the next Pavilion Master of the Zhanzheng Academy, she is absolutely trustworthy!"

Gu Xi hesitated and said, "Alright, but this information is limited to you four. If a fifth person knows, you must bear the corresponding responsibility, I request this be included in the pledge as well."

"Alright, stay for lunch today, and in the afternoon, I’ll invite the mentor to come to witness us!"

Xu Lingjun gently sighed in relief...

Sister Yaya’s approach was very wise.

Indeed, doing nothing, just choosing her as the assistant tutor, there’s a great chance of getting a Companion Demon Beast anyway, the selection must happen...

The woman before him is actually quite suitable.
