Chapter 7 Ju Zi, this is your Shishu_1

So this is the kind of person you are, Xuan Ziwen?

Qin Xiao had his doubts.

He had thought Xuan Ziwen was an extremely serious old scholar, but after meeting him, Xuan's behavior had taken him by surprise.

"Come, Brother Qin, let me show you around and get you familiar with the environment."

Just then, Xuan Ziwen eagerly grabbed Qin Xiao's hand and started to introduce him to the various items in the laboratory.

Precise machinery, precious metals, exquisite formations, and so on...

Without a doubt, as an Eighth-level Soul Master and disciple of the former Hall Master of Mingde Hall, everything Xuan Ziwen owned was top-notch.

Qin Xiao now somewhat understood why Jing Hongchen insisted that he learn from Xuan Ziwen.

It wasn't just about knowledge; the resources were different too.

As time passed by bit by bit, Qin Xiao also gradually became familiar with Xuan Ziwen.

And, through Xuan Ziwen's introductions, he learned a lot.

Most of the time, it was Qin Xiao who asked the questions, and Xuan Ziwen who patiently explained.

"Brother Xuan, thank you so much."

"Hahaha, we hit it off right from the start, why don't we just become sworn brothers here and now?"

"Ah, this..."

A look of astonishment appeared on Qin Xiao's face. Wasn't becoming sworn brothers so suddenly a bit too rash?

"Ahahaha..."

In Qin Xiao's Spirit Space, the Skydream Ice Silkworm was already laughing so hard it was rolling back and forth.

It hadn't expected to meet another fun person.

A mere human Soul Master, do you know who you're standing in front of?

This is a top God Rank powerhouse detached from the Soul Land, capable of shattering stars with a single punch, and you actually want to become brothers with him?

It really wanted to suggest to Xuan Ziwen to ask the locksmiths of Ming City if he, Xuan Ziwen, was worthy?

Worthy of what?

This is ignorance of the highest order.

"Ding ding ding."

Just then, the laboratory's door was knocked on again.

"Who is it?"

Xuan Ziwen's expression changed, his face becoming cold.

"Teacher, it's me!"

"Ju Zi."

"I've finished class."

Outside the room came a sweet voice.

"Has it been that long already?" Xuan Ziwen was startled and then said, "Come in, the laboratory door isn't locked."

As his words fell, there was another cringe-inducing sound of the door opening.

Curious, Qin Xiao looked over and saw a girl wearing the uniform of the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy walk in.

The girl had long black hair and looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, her bright eyes slightly bleary.

The same uniform, worn on her, perfectly accentuated her beautiful figure. Her tender skin seemed like it could be pinched out water, and that lazy, naturally dazed temperament was also very eye-catching.

"Teacher."

Upon entering the room, the girl immediately bowed respectfully to Xuan Ziwen.

Xuan Ziwen nodded slightly.

"Teacher, have you recruited a new assistant?"

Ju Zi curiously sized up Qin Xiao standing next to Xuan Ziwen.

Knowing that Qin Xiao wasn't even wearing the uniform of the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy, her first reaction was that this young man definitely wasn't from the academy.

As for assistants...

They come in different levels.

The impression Qin Xiao gave her was that of someone who could only do the grunt work...

However.

After hearing Ju Zi's words, Xuan Ziwen's face immediately darkened, "What kind of way is that to speak?"

"When have you ever seen me look for an assistant?"

"Yes, you never have, indeed. All the dirty and tiring tasks you make us handle, you certainly need an assistant."

Ju Zi's response immediately breached Xuan Ziwen's defenses.

This girl, what blunt truths she speaks.

Especially in front of my dear friend, isn't that revealing all my secrets?

"Ahem."

He coughed lightly into his hand and said, "Ju Zi, come here, I'll introduce you. This, you should call Uncle-Master, is the teacher's good friend..."

As he spoke, Xuan Ziwen emphasized the words 'good friend,' as if afraid Ju Zi might not understand the importance of Qin Xiao.

"What?"

Upon hearing Xuan Ziwen's words, Ju Zi was stunned.

She more or less understood about Xuan Ziwen's family situation.

"Teacher, I don't recall your parents having other children for you…"

Xuan Ziwen: "..."

What kind of talk was that?

"Who told you that brothers have to be blood-related to count?"

Xuan Ziwen, with a stern face, pointed at Qin Xiao and said, "This person is a good friend that the teacher met on the road to the Supreme Hall of Soul Masters, and he's also the only person whose ambitions align with mine."

"I see..." Ju Zi was first taken aback, then somewhat numbly turned her gaze to Qin Xiao.

Surprise was evident in her eyes.

What kind of unique person could be on the same wavelength as Xuan Ziwen's brainwaves?

Qin Xiao couldn't stand the intense scrutiny anymore, and subconsciously touched his nose with his right hand.

"Why are you still standing there?"

"Aren't you going to call him Uncle-Master?"

After a pause, Xuan Ziwen spoke up to break the awkward atmosphere in the room.

"What?" Ju Zi was stunned again.

"Teacher, you're saying, let me call him Uncle-Master?"

"Is there a problem?"

"It looks like he's even younger than me..."

"But that has nothing to do with you calling him Uncle-Master. After all, his seniority is higher than yours."

One argued based on age, the other on seniority.

Ultimately, it was Ju Zi who admitted defeat.

Reluctantly, she called Qin Xiao "Uncle-Master."

Uh, I've actually become the Uncle-Master of the Sun-Moon Goddess of War?

In his mind, Qin Xiao couldn't help but comment that the turn of events was indeed magical.
