Inexplicably, a student fell from the sky.
He cried and shouted that he wanted to be his disciple, as if he had suddenly become a top boss like Xuan Niao, and as long as he clung to his thigh, he would have a meteoric rise, a promotion, and a raise, and walk to the peak of life.
Even the big boss, who used to be high and mighty, wrote a recommendation letter in his own hand, and asked for the young man's opinion in a kind and amiable manner.
Little brother, my good-for-nothing great-grandson cried and shouted that he wanted to be your slave. Do me a favor and accept it, okay?
Huai Shi lowered his head and looked at the short recommendation letter. He turned it over and over again to make sure that he was not hallucinating, and that he was not drugged. There was also no curse or hidden malice in the letter.
On the other hand, Lin Shijiu seemed to be sincere and sincere. He didn't seem to be plotting anything.
But something didn't seem right.
To be honest, the people of the Lin family were all evil, but they should not be so brainless. Moreover, the tone was extremely polite, and he had given him a lot of face. But did he really dare to disagree?
If he agreed, everything would be fine. If he did not agree … Would the current Candle Dragon still care about his reputation?
If he really flew into a rage out of humiliation, he would be able to stab Huai Shi to death here from a hundred thousand miles away.
From the bottom of his heart, Huai Shi did not want to accept this student.
First of all, no matter how he looked at Lin Shijiu, he did not look like an artistic youth who loved classical music from the bottom of his heart and cried and shouted that he wanted to play the cello with Huai Shi.
Secondly, the people of the Lin family were not kind people. If they took the path of evil, they would not be wronged even if they were shot to death ten times.
Compared with this kind of monster family who grinded teeth and drank blood like flies, Huai Shi, who set the sky and set the sky, was just a sled dog.
How could he be the head of the family if he acted like a dog?
In today's Ivory Tower, although the relationship between a teacher and a student was not as close as that between a teacher and a student in ancient times, even if he was just a teacher, he could not escape if something happened to his student.
If Lin Shijiu could not resist the little bit of criminal thoughts in his heart in school, he would most likely be implicated and sent to the police station.
Maybe when he was walking on the road, eating hotpot and singing, a big black pot would fall from the sky and cover his head … He could not even take it off.
The current Lin Shijiu, no matter how pure and harmless he looked, was, in essence, still a troublemaker.
Huai Shi now that he had finally enjoyed a peaceful life for more than half a year, he really did not want to jump into a pit again.
Therefore, he felt more and more helpless.
He lowered his head and looked at Lin Shijiu, who was lying on the ground, unable to get up. He couldn't help but look up at the sky. "Why? What do you think is good about me? I'll change, okay? Why are you so fixated on me? "
"Teacher, what are you saying!"
Lin Shijiu was still lying on the ground shamelessly. While Huai Shi was not paying attention, he had already hugged his thigh and answered solemnly, "Master, you are an upright person. You have always been clean and honest. You are also well versed in both the pen and the sword. You are highly respected and handsome. Looking at the whole territory now, in terms of appearance, qualifications, and talent, who can compare with you?"
Huai Shi was stunned. She pinched her chin and thought for a long time before nodding.
"That's true. “
Seeing that there was hope, Lin Shijiu was overjoyed. He hugged his thigh tighter and kept talking, "I know I am stupid. I only have respect for you. I don't mean any disrespect. I only hope that I can serve you tea, stay by your side, and listen to your teachings. I will be satisfied.
I hope that Teacher can let bygones be bygones and accept me, a pitiful child who has turned over a new leaf and turned over a new leaf. Give me a bright future, and I will definitely sacrifice my life to repay Teacher's great kindness! "
"That seems to be true."
Huai Shi pondered for a moment and looked down at the little house in the forest that seemed to be tied to his leg. He smiled and said, "Little Shijiu …"
"Yes, what can I do for you?"
Lin Shijiu looked up in surprise.
Then, he saw the black muzzle of the gun.
— Super Small Trial Device, Lord of the Flies.
The overload mode was in place.
The light that was enough to turn him into ashes was brewing in the barrel of the gun. As long as Huai Shi pulled the trigger, Lin Shijiu's life would be rebooted and he would start all over again.
A bone-piercing chill spread out from the flickering flames. Lin Shijiu froze on the spot and his smile became stiff.
His years of experience in courting death told him that this was not a joke.
The big brother in front of him with a smile and a warm expression really intended to kill him here. He even had the ability to make him never reincarnate. Not even the coffin could bring him back to life.
Being stared at by that pair of eyes, Lin Shijiu realized something amidst his horror. The man in front of him did not kill him not because his great-grandfather was the Candle Dragon who ruled the Nine Hells of Dongxia. It was purely because … he did not want to kill him.
As long as he wanted to.
He would die.
At this moment, Lin Shijiu finally saw the ferocious edge and essence of the man in front of him under his usual gentle and lazy appearance.
It was because of this that he was really afraid.
But Lin Shijiu could not tell whether he was afraid of death or afraid of the big brother in front of him who was only a few years older than him.
"Teacher, what … do you mean by this?"
He laughed dryly and tried to move back a little. Then, the muzzle of the gun moved forward an inch and pressed against his forehead.
"That's what I mean."
Huai Shi lowered his head and looked at his little brother in front of him with a creepy smile. He asked word by word, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you want to be my disciple or not. It doesn't matter if you want to scam me.
But since you're already kneeling on the ground and begging with all your heart, why do I feel that everything you said just now … … is not true at all? "
Lin Shijiu's face twitched. "This … Teacher, let me explain."
"Okay, I'm listening."
Huai Shi nodded. "I hope your explanation won't be too long."
"To be honest, this is the Old Master's idea."
Lin Shijiu was sweating profusely, but he did not dare to stop talking. He stuttered, "I don't know what happened. A few days ago, the Old Master suddenly called me back and asked me to come to the Ivory Tower. He also asked me to be my teacher … To be honest, I really didn't dare to come. Am I not afraid of turning back? But I had no choice! "
"Then what do you think the Old Master meant?"
Huai Shi shook the sincere recommendation letter with his other hand and waved it in front of Lin Shijiu. "Is this what he meant? Follow me around and listen to my teachings? "
"Well … I have a guess … It may not be right."
Lin Shijiu swallowed his saliva and stopped talking. His expression became very nervous.
"Go ahead." Huai Shi nodded.
"Is it possible … that the Old Master thinks that you are born bad and that your ability to make people dislike you is hundreds of times better than mine. Moreover, you are always unscrupulous and you love to do whatever you want …"
Lin Shijiu thought for a long time and said seriously, "So, he asked me to be bad?"
Huai Shi almost killed this little bastard on the spot.
I am the Prince of Paradise, the S-level Double Flower Red Stick of the Astronomy Association. I have always been kind and charitable. How did I become a bad person all of a sudden?
However, before Huai Shi could refute, Beelzebub could not help but nod in agreement. "I'm just a passer-by. Indeed."
"Indeed my ass!"
Huai Shi was furious. "Can you stop causing trouble?"
"I saw that the atmosphere was tense, so I helped to ease the tension." Beelzebub laughed loudly, which made Lin Shijiu's fear and uneasiness dissipate a little.
Because the muzzle finally moved back a little.
"Get up."
Huai Shi put the Lord of the Flies back into the holster and pointed at the sofa opposite him. He waved his hand disinterestedly. "I'm not interested in killing children. Seems like I'm getting more and more confused. Why would I joke with you like this? "
Lin Shijiu's expression changed slightly.
It was not because of the joy of escaping death, but for some reason … he was actually a little angry.
He was the Little Nineteen of the Lin family, one of the most outstanding young talents in Dongxia. In front of Huai Shi, he was just a child? And he had almost died here just now. Was this a joke?
But then he felt relieved again.
Who was this person in front of him?
A seventeen-year-old disaster musician, the Abyss Cooking Demon, the Prince of Paradise … He had only used half a year to go from a weak teenager to a third-level Young Arbiter of Life, the Beheading King of Jinling, and the Judge of the Astronomy Association.
In just half a year, he had a lot of blood on his hands. He had even single-handedly destroyed the Fine Night Club and beheaded the Archbishop of Rotten Dream.
He was a monster through and through.
Compared to him, what was he?
Those who truly believed in his calm and gentle appearance and treated him as a pure and harmless little white rabbit were idiots — just like how she used to be.
How could such a person be fooled by lying on the ground shamelessly and shedding a few tears?
He returned to the sofa and sat upright, not daring to speak anymore.
In his nervous silence, Huai Shi suddenly asked, "Other than the letter of recommendation, what else did your grandfather ask you to bring to me?"
Subconsciously, Lin Shijiu wanted to shake his head.
But in the end, his expression twitched. He hesitated and took out another letter from his chest.
It was not heavy. Or rather, it was just a piece of paper inside.
The Abyss Contract was created by alchemy. Once signed, one's soul would be used as collateral, and it would only be circulated with strict restrictions between the person who ascended.
There was no room for regret.
The content of the letter was very simple. Although the words were strict and rigid, it was written in a long line. But to summarize it simply, it was just one sentence — during the four or five years in college, Lin Shijiu had followed Huai Shi's orders.
It was not an employment, but a master-servant relationship.
In other words, as long as Huai Shi signed this contract, Lin Shijiu would be Huai Shi's dog for the next five years.
Even if Huai Shi asked him to immediately kneel on the ground and bark like a dog, he would never disobey.
It could be said that it was not harsh.
If it wasn't for this contract, the recommendation letter from before might have seemed like a threat. But with this contract … it was the same as entrusting the most important grandson of his family to Huai Shi's tutelage.
Because of this, Huai Shi could not help but sigh.
What did he do to deserve such a great favor from the current Candle Dragon?
"Your grandfather's letter of recommendation and this toy, you can keep them."
He threw the contract back to Lin Shijiu without interest. Lin Shijiu, who was originally pale and felt like he would be a slave from now on, was stunned on the spot.
His heart could not help but sink.
Even if Huai Shi had only accepted the letter of recommendation, there was still room for negotiation. But now, he was so resolute that Lin Shijiu felt helpless.
How could he not know that he had messed up?
In the silence, Huai Shi threw out an unexpected question without warning. "Little Hut in the Woods, what kind of person do you want to be in the future?"
Lin Shijiu hesitated for a long time, but did not know how to answer.
He wanted to be a peerless powerhouse like his great-grandfather, even in his dreams. But he still did not know how to do it. He did not even know … whether it was good or not to become such a person.
The Lin family's path of evil was destined to be accompanied by slander and glory. Evil was inseparable from duty … For people like Lin Shijiu, even if they obtained power, they would only suffer for eternity.
Even if the idea of bringing Little Junior Brother along was an alternative, how effective could it be? Moreover, wouldn't being a keyboard warrior and Internet troll make him feel uneasy?
Although he did not want to admit it, many times … when Lin Shijiu heard many rumors about Huai Shi, he envied him from the bottom of his heart.
He envied the person in front of him who did not have to do evil for power.
After a long silence, he slowly shook his head.
"I don't know."
"Then treat this as your graduation project."
Huai Shi calmly waved his hand. "Remember to wake up early tomorrow and decorate the classroom with me. As a student, you should have the self-awareness of a student. Don't just browse Weibo."
Little Hut in the Woods was stunned on the spot in disbelief.
"Why?"
"Didn't you come here to sign up?" Huai Shi asked, "It's okay if you regret it. You haven't filled in the form anyway."
"That's not what I meant. What I meant was … Teacher, didn't you already say that you don't want the old master's recommendation letter?" He held the two items in his hands in shock, unable to understand Huai Shi's thoughts.
"I accepted you not because of the Candle Dragon's recommendation and the contract, but because your great-grandfather really wanted to entrust his great-grandson to me."
Huai Shi's expression became complicated. He could not help but shrug. "You might not believe it, but ever since I came to the Ivory Tower, he was the first person who thought that I could take on the responsibility of a teacher and do this job well.
As a teacher, I have to repay the trust of a parent, right? Moreover — "
He paused for a moment. His gaze became particularly playful as he scrutinized Little Nineteen. "Do you really think that without the contract, I can't punish you?"
At that moment, the little house in the forest could not help but shiver.
Being stared at by this pair of eyes that were as quiet as the abyss, he actually had the illusion that the old master was looking at him.
Until now, there was no longer any struggle or unwillingness in his heart.
He had finally accepted his fate.
He could not win in a game, nor could he win in a fight.
What was there to be embarrassed about having such a person as his teacher?
At that moment, Lin Nineteen did not dare to slack off. He obediently stood up and lowered his head to serve tea to his future teacher according to the etiquette of Dongxia.
"Then, let's get the ugly words out of the way first."
Huai Shi picked up the tea but was not in a hurry to drink it. He raised his eyes to look at the student who had descended from the sky. "You should know what you can do and what you can't do.
I didn't become a Ascended because I could kill and commit evil. I hope you're not one of them — otherwise, I won't have to do anything. Any random professor in the school will crush you to death. You understand this, right? "
Lin Nineteen nodded frantically.
He could not be said to be the most scheming or the most capable in the Lin Family, but he was definitely the best at taking advantage of the situation. In a place like the Ivory Tower, where was there room for him to act rashly?
The third rule of the Lin Family was that it was not advisable to commit crimes against the wind.
Moreover, how could he have the courage to play tricks in front of his current teacher?
"Then that's all for today."
Huai Shi finished the tea in the cup in one gulp and smiled gently. "Remember to rest early when you go back. After the opening ceremony tomorrow, quickly come over and help with the work.
As for what you want to learn, be it classical music, combat skills, or alchemy … it's up to you. We still have a long way to go, so it doesn't matter if it's a day or a night. "
First intimidate, then beat, and after beating, he would give a sweet date. First, he would deter his subordinates from having any ill intentions, and then gradually establish his authority over time …
After he came to his senses, Huai Shi felt that it was strange. Why was he so familiar with this?
Lin Shijiu hesitated for a moment, but he did not leave. Instead, he stood respectfully beside Huai Shi.
Since he had already boarded the pirate ship, he had to show his allegiance to his teacher and let him know his ability.
With this plan in mind, Lin Shijiu said, "Student has three strategies, which can help you successfully have your own classroom and officially enter the teaching and research room."
"Hmm?"
Huai Shi was stunned.
He himself did not have a brain. How could Lin Shijiu have three strategies?
Was he really that brainless as Crow said?
That was impossible.
Doubting himself in his heart, Huai Shi panicked, but in the end, he kept calm and nodded. "Then tell me the best strategy first."
Lin Shijiu suddenly smiled, leaned over and said, "Teacher, as long as you activate the fan club …"
Huai Shi waved his hand and said expressionlessly, "Okay, you can tell me the best strategy."
The simple-minded Lin Shijiu did not know how he had made his teacher unhappy. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Teacher, you are a legend of the Orchard Gym, and your swordsmanship is a unique skill. Why don't I spread the word that teacher will challenge all the clubs in the school and convince the students? Wouldn't it be easy to get students? "
Huai Shi rolled his eyes. "And then? Success? Don't forget, every club has a mentor. What is this place? This is an ivory tower. Do you think you can succeed by killing people and arson? "
He could only say that he was indeed a member of the Lin family. As long as he used this strategy, he would definitely harvest a lot of negative emotions.
Did he come here to be an executioner or a teacher?
If Huai Shi did this, Professor Anton, who had high hopes for him before, would be the first to look down on him.
As for the worst strategy, he was too lazy to ask.
He just waved his hand, indicating that this silly child should go home, wash up, and go to sleep …
Seeing that Huai Shi did not even ask about the worst strategy, Lin Shijiu suddenly panicked. If he could not get the pledge of allegiance, he would lose face.
But after thinking about it, he did not know what else to do to show his sincerity and ability.
Then, he suddenly remembered the rumors he had heard from several targets. Suddenly, his heart moved and he blurted out, "Teacher, someone wants to hurt you!"
"It's normal, don't panic."
Huai Shi drank tea calmly. Even he was so calm that he was scared.
He was used to being persecuted …
"Tell me."
He raised his head and looked at Lin Shijiu, expressionless. "Who wants to hurt me?"
