Chapter 233: Chapter 115 Teachers Return_2

"Alright, stop overthinking. Worst comes to worst, we can drop out of the demon hunting team this time. If you two aren’t selected, I’ll voluntarily withdraw, which is permissible. You are one or two years younger than us, so it’s natural if your skills are a bit weaker. Given one or two more years, with the cultivation of the Celestial Abyss Ocean and the Icy Moon Angel, your abilities will surely skyrocket. So, let’s give this selection our best shot. Even if we aren’t successful, it doesn’t matter. We just need to keep trying."

At this point, Ling Menglu seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "By the way, your teacher is back."

Upon hearing this, Long Kongkong immediately leapt up in joy, "Really? He’s finally back! I’m going to see him right now."

Before the start of the demon hunting team selection, the students of the Spirit Furnace Academy were now free to commute, after all, they needed more time to prepare, including for equipment.

Ling Menglu said, "We also need to prepare well for the upcoming week. Let’s continue our cultivation together tonight. Also, don’t you both have some money now? You should beef up your equipment as well. I’ll go back as well, and ask my grandfather if he has any useful strategies."

Long Dangdang nodded, said, "Alright, I’ll go back and cultivate. I’ll think about it too. Cousin, what if I explain to the Knights Temple first that my participation in the demon hunting team as a mage is to resolve the issue of my brother and me being on the same team?"

Ling Menglu replied, "Since your teacher is back, why not discuss it with him and your other teacher? See what advice they have."

"Alright, let’s head out together then."

The three left the Spirit Furnace Academy through the teleportation array formation. Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong headed straight to the main hall, while Ling Menglu went back home.

As soon as Long Kongkong entered the main hall, he left his brother and rushed towards Na Ye’s room.

Ever since he started cultivating with the Cowardly Knight, he went from being initially listless to gradually developing a deep bond with this teacher. Besides his family, Na Ye had become the most important person for him.

The weekly Archangel’s Embrace had directly helped change his destiny and talent. Na Ye’s selfless efforts for him were deeply moving. Therefore, he truly liked this teacher. Moreover, their philosophies aligned as well: striving for safety first and lying low were their common hobbies.

With the return of his revered mentor, Long Kongkong was genuinely excited! Especially after he had just been wronged at the Knights’ Holy Mountain, he couldn’t wait to pour out his grievances to his teacher.

After hesitating slightly, Long Dangdang decided to go see Hai Jifeng first. The issue with the Knights Temple was a pressing one he needed to resolve.

The two brothers then split up to visit their respective teachers’ rooms.

Long Kongkong practically used the Slide Step to dash to the door, "Teacher, teacher, you’re back? Kongkong is here too!"

He had a key to Na Ye’s room, so he swung the door open and hastily rushed in.

Upon entering, no one was in the living room, and it was still empty. A strong sense of disappointment arose in Long Kongkong, but then his eyes lit up when he spotted a familiar coat hanging on the wall hook.

Just then, the door to the cultivation chamber inside opened, "Just come in, will you? Why are you making such a racket?" It was none other than Na Ye who walked out. Although he was grumbling, the smile on his face couldn’t be concealed.

"Ah! Teacher, I missed you so much." Long Kongkong rushed over in a few strides and gave the Cowardly Knight a big hug. His height was almost identical to Na Ye’s now, his face full of excitement.

"Watch yourself. After all, you’re a 4th Rank Knight now." Na Ye patted his back while the smile on his face deepened. Seeing his somewhat unreliable but precious disciple, how could he not be genuinely happy? He didn’t have a family or children, but over the years, he had already come to regard Long Kongkong as his own son.

Long Kongkong stepped back, looked at the Cowardly Knight closely, and said softly, "Teacher, I... I heard about it. You’re a dragon knight? One of the three dragon knights of the Temple?"

Na Ye first hesitated, then raised his hand and slapped his head, "Why are you so quiet? Could anyone eavesdrop us here?"

"Err, isn’t it surprising to me? Why didn’t you ever show it off before? This doesn’t seem like you!" Long Kongkong said with a smile.

Na Ye said irritably, "How is it not like me, being low-key, you know? I heard you guys went to the Knights’ Holy Mountain? How did it go? What mounts did you get? It’s a pity that I missed out because of an urgent task. Otherwise I should be going with you."

When he mentioned this, Long Kongkong’s face fell.

"What? You didn’t find a suitable mount?" Na Ye was taken aback.

Long Kongkong cried out, "It would’ve been better if I didn’t find any..." Then he recounted his experiences at the Knights’ Holy Mountain.

Hearing his words, Na Ye was astounded. Even he had never encountered such a situation before.

"The Dragon Emperor came out? And he said he’s not worthy of you? This is impossible." At this moment, a penetrating voice suddenly sounded. Then a golden light appeared next to Na Ye, it was his contract space. But Na Ye’s contract space was much larger than Long Kongkong’s. The golden light was three meters high and a huge figure squeezed out of the light gate.

This was a big fat man, more than two and a half meters tall, and probably even wider. When he squeezed out from the light gate of his contract space, the large living room seemed a bit crowded.

Long Kongkong was surprised, looking at the thirty-odd-year-old with a fatty face, whose features were blurred by his fat, asking, "Who are you?"

Before the fat man could open his mouth, Na Ye hurriedly said, "This is my contract partner, and also a member of the dragon tribe. You may call him Uncle Whang."

The fat man grinned and said, "Kongkong! I’ve known about you for a while, but I’ve been sleeping a lot, so I haven’t come out to meet you. I’m Whang Kuaile, you can call me Uncle Kuaile."

Whang Kuaile? A dragon? The teacher is a dragon knight, so is he his mount partner? A dragon that can transform into a human?

"You don’t need to be surprised, Level 10 magical beasts all have the ability to turn into human form." Whang Kuaile seemed to immediately see through Long Kongkong’s doubts.

"You just said, does Dragon Emperor think himself isn’t worthy of you? Boy, you must be something special! Dragon Emperor is very arrogant, and he wouldn’t say such things easily. His words are never exaggerated. Old Coward, it seems you’ve found a treasure!"

Na Ye said irritably, "In front of my apprentice, couldn’t you use another title, Uncle Whang!"

Whang Kuaile’s hair isn’t much, just a few sparse strands barely covering his bald head. He ruffled his sparse hair, "Come on, does the Knights Temple call you by a different name? According to Kongkong’s story, his mouse seems to harbor some mystery. It seems to have the ability to reverse the blood pact, which is why it went on to the bloodline assessment right after the contract. This should be a natural talent. Magical beasts with such talent are bound to have very powerful bloodline. But it lost to Kongkong, and had to serve as his blood-bound mount. Kongkong, you are interesting. Come on, let me have a look at your bloodline."

As he spoke, Whang Kuaile stretched out his fat hand and grabbed Long Kongkong’s shoulder.

"Be gentle, Uncle Whang!" Na Ye said with a hint of worry.

"Crack!" With Whang’s palm on Long Kongkong’s shoulder, Long Kongkong felt like an iron pincer was clamping his shoulder. The friction of his shoulder bones could be heard and he cried out in pain.

"Oh oh oh, sorry, I thought you were a dragon. I’ll be gentler, gentler." Whang Kuaile quickly loosened his grip.

Recalling the previous descriptions of his teacher’s mount being unreliable, Long Kongkong finally understood.
