Chapter 8 Just like this, isn't it simple?_2

Soul Masters with a Spiritual Martial Soul made soul tools as if they had cheats.

However.

After the joy, Qin Xiao's body couldn't help but sway; this was due to the overconsumption of spiritual power.

It's like some people at work, when it's busy, they don't feel much. But once the busy time is over, an immense fatigue surges to the forefront of their minds.

"Uncle-Master."

Ju Zi exclaimed in shock and hurriedly came to Qin Xiao's side to support him.

And she positioned herself as a support, letting Qin Xiao lean against her.

"It's nothing, just a bit of an overconsumption. I'll be fine in a bit."

Qin Xiao spoke and then closed his eyes to focus.

However.

Just at that moment, the laboratory's door was suddenly opened.

Two men and a woman entered one by one.

"Sister Ju Zi, we're back."

The somewhat petite girl was even more excited, calling out.

The other two started looking around the laboratory.

But, at the next moment, the three of them were petrified.

"Sister Ju Zi..."

"Ju Zi..."

"You..."

Seeing Ju Zi behaving intimately with a strange girl, their expressions all petrified, and they even felt their brains weren't functioning properly.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I supposed to do?

They fell into contemplation.

"Am I trapped in an illusion?"

Zimu, a fellow disciple of Teacher Xuan Ziwen, rubbed his eyes vigorously, then looked at Ju Zi again.

Instantly, as if struck by lightning.

Oh my god!

This isn't an illusion, it's definitely real!

"Ju Zi, who is that person!"

"Who is he?"

His emotions suddenly became agitated, and he asked in a heavy tone.

It was not hard to understand why Zimu was so agitated.

After all, he was a crazed suitor of Ju Zi.

Even because of a single sentence from Ju Zi, "I will marry the best chef in the world," he dedicated a large amount of time to learning culinary skills.

In his dreams, he imagined countless times the day he would marry Ju Zi and live a happy life.

But now... he saw Ju Zi being so intimate with another person.

This feeling...

Who would understand?

Folks, my heart is shattered.

"Ah, this..."

Ju Zi also realized something, "If I say this is different from what you're imagining, would you believe me?"

The crowd replaced all answers with silence.

Those contemptuous eyes seemed to say, do you think we would believe you?

At this time, Qin Xiao's spiritual power had also recovered a bit, and the pitch-black feeling in front of him had disappeared.

He mumbled to himself, next time, no matter what, he couldn't afford to be so reckless with his consumption while doing something. It was still very dangerous to lose control.

Suddenly.

He realized the atmosphere in the laboratory was somewhat tense?

"Eh? So many people have come?"

Qin Xiao also noticed the presence of everyone, and without much thought, he knew that these were Teacher Xuan Ziwen's several disciples.

The petite and mostly cute girl should be Ke Ke.

Next to Ke Ke was a young man with a proud demeanor.

Without saying more, just by looking at that arrogant attitude, as if he owned the world, one would know that this young man was undoubtedly Wang Shaojie of the Sun Moon Royal Family.

At the same time, Qin Xiao noticed another young man, glaring at him furiously, with eyes almost spewing fire.

Qin Xiao only thought for a moment before he remembered, among Teacher Xuan's four disciples, there was one who was a devoted follower of Ju Zi, named Zimu.

Now, it seemed that this young man who appeared as if he wanted to devour him must be the committed follower Zimu himself.

Hehe, nice to meet you.

"Kid, remove your hand from Ju Zi."

Zimu could no longer hold back, and he also realized that Qin Xiao's gaze had fallen on him.

But we have so many people watching, and you two are still so intimate, is this really okay?

Am I, Zimu, invisible to you?

Qin Xiao laughed, "You should check the situation before you speak."

"I see it very clearly."

Zimu retorted, but then he noticed Ke Ke poking him.

"Hey, look closely, it's Sister Ju Zi who is holding that young man's arm."

Zimu's pupils shrank sharply at the words.

Can't deny it, it's true.

But Qin Xiao didn't pay any attention to this jealous guy, and turned towards Ju Zi with a gentle smile, "Thank you."

"No, no need to thank me."

With a blush on her small face, Ju Zi also hurriedly let go of his hand.

However.

Such a simple scene, in Zimu's eyes, was like being struck by lightning once again.

Are they...are they actually flirting in front of me?

That's too much!

It's just way too much!

Isn't this like not treating me, Zimu, as a person?

"Dadada."

He strode over to the wide alloy table in the laboratory and faced Qin Xiao across the table, "Kid, who are you? This laboratory is exclusively for Teacher Xuan, and outsiders are not allowed to enter."

"Zimu...he's not an outsider, he is..."

Upon hearing this, Ju Zi immediately spoke up in defense of Qin Xiao.

She wanted to tell everyone that Qin Xiao's identity was not an outsider, but Teacher Xuan's good brother.

However, before Ju Zi could finish, Zimu interrupted, "Ju Zi, don't speak, I'm asking him.

Moreover, even if his relationship with you is out of the ordinary, you should be aware of the rules set by the teacher. Even if we are all disciples of the teacher, we do not have the right to bring strangers to his laboratory.

Besides, there are many valuable items in the teacher's laboratory. Just taking out one piece of material can cost dozens or even hundreds of golden soul coins. If it's a finished soul tool, it costs hundreds of thousands or even millions, how can one guarantee that strangers won't be tempted?"

Zimu's words were clearly pointed.

From the first glance, he could see that Qin Xiao could not possibly be from the academy, as he wasn't even wearing a school uniform.

Next, was how plain Qin Xiao's clothes appeared, despite being proper. In his opinion, they were very shabby.

In his mind, he immediately tagged Qin Xiao as a commoner or even a poor man.

How could such a person be qualified to come to the laboratory of an Eighth-level Soul Master?

Put bluntly, even for taking out the trash, such a person wasn't needed.

"Enough!"

Seeing Zimu being so aggressive, Ju Zi's fine eyebrows knitted together, and an unhappy expression surfaced on her pretty face.

However.

At this moment, Zimu was completely enraged, not willing to listen to Ju Zi.

How could he bear it after spending years as an obedient dog, only to see his goddess holding hands with someone else?

What's more, Ju Zi had chosen someone inferior to him, that was even more unbearable.

Why am I, Zimu, inferior to this kid?

Unacceptable.

I absolutely won't accept it.

At that moment, his eyes caught the stacks of diagrams and finished arrays on the table, as well as Ju Zi's Carving Knife.

He couldn't help but laugh aloud.

"Pfft, hahaha, sorry, I rarely laugh normally, only when I can't help it, hahaha."

With a troubled face, Ju Zi asked, "Zimu, is it that funny?"

Of course it's funny, Zimu pointed at the arrays on the table and said, "Don't tell me you're teaching him how to carve arrays."

Ju Zi replied, "What's the problem with that?"

This was Xuan Ziwen's instruction before he left.

Only.

She distinctly realized that she was superfluous.

She just needed to provide Qin Xiao with a Carving Knife and materials, and the rest of the time she had nothing to do.

"Isn't that funny?"

Zimu still ridiculed without any intention of courtesy, "Really think any trash can become a Soul Master?"

"Don't even look at yourself in the piss."

"Trash should just stay obediently in the trash heap."

Zimu wanted to vent, to vent wildly.

He needed to let out all the pent-up frustration in his heart.

He couldn't bear to speak more to Ju Zi.

Thus, Qin Xiao became the target of his outburst.

He wanted to prove to Ju Zi that the man she picked was inferior to him in every aspect, that she was blind to choose this man.

So, he intended to crush Qin Xiao ruthlessly, stepping on him to feel a sense of achievement.

Only by doing so could he demonstrate his superiority.

"Trash, you say he's trash?"

Ju Zi was shocked, angry, and speechless.

Have you ever seen a genius who succeeded in engraving an array on the first try? Besides, he could handle any kind of array with ease and without a single error.

Does that kind of person count as trash?

If talent had weight, even if she and her fellow disciples pooled their talents together to compare with Qin Xiao's on the scales, Qin Xiao's talent would still outweigh theirs by two pounds.

If someone like Qin Xiao with his extraordinary talent is considered trash, what are they?

They might as well not be living, right?

Find a crooked tree and hang themselves to end it all.

Um... or just hit their head against a piece of tofu and fake their own death.
