My Confucian Father

Chapter 56 A Simple Carp Essence

In the room, Su Mu and Jin Lin were standing and kneeling, the atmosphere seemed a little stiff.

"You get up first."

"Good master."

"Don't call me master, I didn't agree to your apprenticeship."

"Good Master, I know Master."

"..."

Su Mu finally understood that this golden-haired loli is really lacking in mind, and it is really lacking. No wonder he was fooled by Confucian saints into being a town house beast.

Without continuing to struggle with the title issue, Su Mu said to her: "First of all, you need to know that I am not some ancient monster, I am just an ordinary person."

"The phantom of the Kunpeng you saw before was a vision caused by my supernatural powers, not the real body."

He really didn't understand, first the big red-haired bird, then the carp spirit, they all regarded him as a big monster.

But he is just an ordinary immortal cultivator!

Where can I have anything to do with a demon?
"Yeah, the disciple knows."

Jin Lin nodded, and then asked expectantly: "So, Master, can I learn your supernatural power?"

Su Mu was speechless, this guy was full of magical powers, and he didn't listen to what he said.

Forget it, if you think I'm a demon, then so be it.

Su Mu was too lazy to argue on this issue, and said to Jin Lin, "It's not that I don't want to teach you, but I'm a human, and you are a demon. You can't learn my supernatural powers."

He didn't even fully understand the Kunpeng method, and even if he had fully mastered it himself, he would not easily teach a carp spirit to whom he met for the first time.

Is it really a Chinese cabbage with such awesome supernatural powers?
What's more, this is a debt owed by a Confucian sage. Why should he be asked to pay it back?

"But Master, I am also in human form now, no different from a human being, why can't I cultivate?"

Jin Lin said suspiciously, fearing that Su Mu would not believe it, he stood up and turned around in front of him, his clothes fluttering, looking like a golden butterfly.

Su Mu choked a little, thought he could fool him casually, why did this carp spirit suddenly become difficult to fool.

But the words had already been spoken, and he could only barely explain: "You don't understand, people are different, and you and I have different blood, so you can't cultivate this supernatural power."

After hearing this, Jin Lin showed disappointment on her face. Although she was a different species of Arowana, she couldn't even match the blood of a dragon, let alone that of a giant kun.

So Su Mu said that it was her bloodline problem, and she believed it. After all, in the Yaozu, the upper limit of strength largely depends on the strength of her own bloodline.

"Ok."

Knowing that he couldn't cultivate supernatural powers, Jin Lin stopped pestering Su Mu and walked out of the room with a dejected expression.

At this time, a golden object slipped from her sleeve and fell to the ground, Su Mu stepped forward to pick it up.

"What is this?"

Su Mu looked at the item in his hand. It looked like an armor that had shrunk many times, only the size of a palm, but it was full of brilliance and extraordinary brilliance.

Jinlin replied honestly: "I heard Chique said that the human race needs to give Shu Xiu to apprentice. This is my apprenticeship ceremony."

"A fish scale armor made from fish scales that fell off from my own body."

Su Mu couldn't laugh or cry, this golden retriever loli apprentice was quite formal, even Shu Xiu was ready.

He handed the fish-scale armor back to Jin Lin, and said, "But the fish-scale armor is too sloppy, and it's such a big slap, what effect can it have?"

Jin Lin explained: "It can be big or small. Wearing it on the body can increase the speed of spiritual energy absorption, and it can also avoid water. Moreover, it can block attacks below the third rank."

"The protective heart scale on the chest is my reverse scale, which can withstand a blow from a third-rank monk."

"What?"

Su Mu was taken aback immediately after hearing this, he could block attacks of the third rank and below even once.

More importantly, it can increase the speed of absorbing spiritual energy and avoid water, which is simply a perfect defensive magic weapon for him!
There is such a teacher apprenticeship ceremony, you should have said it earlier, what are you doing under the hood.

Seeing that Jinlin was about to leave, he hurried forward to stop her, then coughed and said, "If you sincerely want to learn supernatural powers, it's not like I can't teach you."

"I think we can discuss it."

The teacher apprentice ceremony is such a magic weapon, so if you give gifts later, wouldn't it take off?

Fu Luoli, who is so stupid and rich, can't let go.

Jin Lin wondered, "But I'm a demon, not a human."

"Whoever said that you are a human being now, how can you look like a demon? Whoever said that you are like a demon? Master, I will be the first to say no."

"But aren't people different from each other?"

"Hey! This statement is wrong. Confucian saints once said that there is no distinction between teaching and learning. It makes no difference whether you are a human or a demon."

"But my bloodline is different from yours..."

"Why do you have the same blood? You see that you are just a carp now, but after you cross the gate of heaven, you will transform into a dragon? In the same way, it is the same to practice this supernatural power. With practice, you can become a Kunpeng."

Su Mu said that he didn't blush when he talked nonsense.

It's not shabby to cheat a magic weapon, first trick that awesome fish scale armor out of the little girl's hands.

She couldn't grasp that magic weapon, so she let him do it.

"Really?"

Jin Lin was stunned for a while, showing hesitation.

Because Su Mu said before that she couldn't do it, and now she said that she could cultivate, so she didn't know which sentence was true.

"Of course! Can I still lie to you?"

Su Mu slapped his chest loudly, vowing to be authentic, and immediately lowered his voice.

"Actually, I am indeed an ancient monster. I met a group of very bad people many years ago, which made me fall a lot. Staying in this human body now is just a last resort."

"I didn't want to accept you as an apprentice, but I saw that your bones are so strange, I will make an exception today."

In order to make his words more convincing, Su Mu secretly operated the Kunpeng method, revealing a hint of Kunpeng's aura.

Sensing this Kunpeng's aura that was far superior to his own blood, Jin Lin immediately believed it.

"Master, be respected by disciples!"

Jin Lin was very happy, kowtowed respectfully to Su Mu again, and slammed his head three more times.

Copper-headed iron-boned little loli...

The corners of Su Mu's mouth twitched as he watched, but his expression was very kind, and he said, "My dear boy, get up quickly."

"Good master!"

Jin Lin knelt on the ground, looking at Su Mu with piercing eyes, her cute little face was full of anticipation.

And Su Mu also looked at her with a smile, and the two looked at each other, and they were silent for a long time.

In the end, it was Su Mu who took the initiative to break the embarrassment, and said cheekily: "The apprenticeship ceremony... let me make it clear, master, I am definitely not coveting your teacher's apprenticeship ceremony, I just want to see your sincerity."

Jin Lin hesitated a little when he heard the words, took out a small golden purse from his arms, and handed it to Su Mu.

"Master, this is all the belongings that the disciple has accumulated for thousands of years. Is this sincerity enough?"

"If it's not enough, the disciples will make it up."

Su Mu glanced at the golden purse in his hand, then at the innocent and serious Jinlin in front of him, suddenly felt a dull pain in his conscience.

He felt like he was lying to a child.

Speaking of which, how did such a simple carp essence survive till now?
After hesitating and struggling for a long time, Su Mu finally couldn't make up his mind to give away all of Jinlin's belongings, even though he knew that a big monster with thousands of years' worth of possessions was definitely extremely large.

"Just give me the fish scale armor, you keep these."

Su Mu threw the small purse back to Jin Lin, then shook his head and said, he is not that shameless yet.

However, Jinlin's simplicity also changed his thinking, maybe he can teach her the real Kunpeng method.
