Li Mohan's beautiful eyes widened and her small mouth opened slightly. She looked at Lin Xuan and was momentarily speechless.
But in the next moment, her eyes shot out a torrential fury. She looked at Lin Xuan with a gaze that seemed as if she wanted to devour him!
"Ning Que! You … you liar! I'll definitely get grandfather to chase you out! "
After saying that, she walked out angrily.
Lin Xuan couldn't help but be dumbfounded. What kind of situation was this?
A classmate beside him laughed out loud. "Kid, you've exposed yourself now, haven't you? Still saying that you haven't learned spiritual runes and can't even pretend to know how to do it! "
Another person also mocked, "That's right! You can actually draw a perfect fire rune on your first day of learning spiritual runes. Who do you think you are! Even Lord Sen Zhi couldn't do it back then! "
Lin Xuan glanced at the two indifferently and walked out without saying a word.
He finally understood that he had pretended to be pretentious too much and caused that little girl to misunderstand.
However, he didn't care. If he continued to hide, who knew how long he would have to stay in the Li Residence. He didn't have that much time to waste.
In Li Xuan's study room.
"Grandfather! That Ning Que is a liar! He obviously learned spiritual runes before and his attainments in it are not shallow. Yet, he pretended to know nothing about spiritual runes and purposely played with others! You must stand up for him! Chase that fellow out!
This kind of person who hides his head but shows his tail and harbors evil intentions is definitely not a good person. If he really learns your skills in the future, he might ruin your reputation … "
"Jun lass, what exactly happened?"
Under Li Xuan's questioning, Li Mojun, with a stomach full of anger, recounted the events in class in full detail and asked her grandfather to judge.
After Li Xuan heard it, his long eyebrows couldn't help but frown slightly and his eyes flickered.
In his opinion, if what his granddaughter said was true, then this Ning Que really shouldn't be allowed to stay. When it came to accepting disciples, the most important thing was character.
Over the years, many aristocratic families in the Imperial Capital had sent their children to study under his tutelage, but he didn't let any of them stay and drove them away. No matter who tried to persuade him, it was useless.
However, he didn't listen to Li Mojun's one-sided story. He planned to investigate carefully before dealing with it.
"Master, Young Master Ning requests an audience." The old servant Li Xian came in and said.
"Let him in," Li Xuan instructed calmly.
Lin Xuan walked in and glanced at Li Mojun. He cupped his hands and said to Li Xuan, "Grandpa Li, Miss Li might have some misunderstandings about Ning Que. Ning Que is here to clarify things."
Li Xuan's face was solemn as he said in a deep voice, "Ning Que, this old man will ask you one more time. You have to answer truthfully. Have you really never learned about Spirit Runes and Weapon Forging before?"
Lin Xuan looked straight into Li Xuan's eyes and said seriously, "Grandpa Li, this matter is absolutely true. Ning Que wouldn't dare to lie!"
Li Xuan's brows were deeply furrowed as he looked at Lin Xuan with an eagle-like gaze. It was as if he wanted to see through Lin Xuan's heart.
Li Mojun's brows furrowed as she said angrily, "Hmph! Even at this time, you still refuse to admit it! In just a few minutes, you actually managed to perfectly inscribe a fire pattern from scratch. Even my grandfather couldn't do such a thing back in the day! What right do you have to … "
"Mojun! Shut up! "
Li Xuan berated his granddaughter.
He took out a crystal ball and imprinted a Spirit Rune on it before tossing it to Lin Xuan. "Ning Que, try and see if you can learn this Spirit Rune."
Lin Xuan's face was calm. He understood Li Xuan's meaning.
He took the crystal ball and looked at it. He realized that there was a black Spirit Rune inside that wasn't complicated.
Clearly, if he could successfully inscribe this Spirit Rune in a short period of time, it would prove that he was a Spirit Rune genius.
Otherwise, it would only mean that there was a problem with his character.
At this moment, the old servant, Wang Xian, took out a white jade board that was three feet long and placed it on the table. He smiled kindly at Lin Xuan. "Young Master Ning, this is a Dao Condensing Jade that is specially used to practice Spirit Runes. You can inscribe Spirit Runes on it."
"Thank you, senior."
Lin Xuan nodded to Li Xian and walked to the jade board. He infused his Mental Energy into his finger and started to slide it on the jade board.
For a moment, the study room was silent.
Li Xuan, Li Mojun, and Li Xian all stared at Lin Xuan's actions with different gazes.
Li Xuan was expressionless.
Li Mojun sneered as though she was waiting to see Lin Xuan make a fool of himself. She knew that the Spirit Rune that her grandfather gave to Lin Xuan must be a Spirit Rune that her grandfather comprehended himself.
Li Xian smiled as though he was looking forward to it.
Lin Xuan's finger turned into an afterimage as it slid rapidly on the jade board. It was so fast that it almost exceeded the limits of one's eyesight.
His Mental Energy was also depleting rapidly.
He gradually realized that this Spirit Rune was actually more complicated than the Fire Rune that Li Mojun had taught him.
When inscribing Spirit Runes, the slightest mistake could lead to a huge difference. This was also the difficulty of weapon refinement.
Time gradually passed. Five minutes had passed.
Lin Xuan was still drawing the Spirit Rune, but there was still no reaction.
However, Li Xuan and Li Xian's gazes changed. They were shocked.
They were shocked at Lin Xuan's immense Mental Energy.
For a mere mid-level True Energy Realm martial artist to be able to continuously inscribe hundreds of spirit inscriptions, the amount of mental strength required to do so was definitely a terrifying amount. Perhaps even some True Energy Realm martial artists would not be able to do so.
Ten minutes passed.
Lin Xuan was still expressionless as he continued to draw.
Suddenly, at the moment when he finished drawing again, the white jade board finally underwent a change!
As a black Spirit Rune appeared, the white jade board emitted a colorful glow. Although it was very faint, the few people in the room could not ignore it.
"Success!"
"How is this possible!"
"Genius! An absolute genius! "
Li Xuan, Li Mojun, and Li Xian couldn't help but cry out in surprise. Their faces were filled with shock and disbelief.
Lin Xuan's finger continued to slide, and the number of times he succeeded increased. The movement in the jade board became louder and louder, and the colorful glow gradually illuminated the entire room.
"That's enough!" Li Xuan called out.
At this moment, he looked at Lin Xuan with bright eyes, as if he was looking at a piece of the highest quality jade.
Lin Xuan stopped his movements. His expression was the same as before as he said to Li Xuan, "Grandpa Li, if I'm not wrong, this is a Chaos Dao Spirit Rune, right?"
Li Xuan smiled and said, "That's right! This is a Chaos Dao Spirit Rune that I just comprehended last month. In the entire world, only I know about this Spirit Rune.
Ning Que, you are very good! As long as you are willing to work hard in the future, I dare to say that in the future, there will definitely be a place for you in the refining world of the Daqian dynasty. "
"Grandpa Li is too kind. Ning Que was just lucky." Lin Xuan smiled.
Li Xuan shook his head and said, "The Dao of Spirit Runes is broad and profound, but there is definitely no such thing as luck."
Li Mojun was completely silent at this moment. She secretly curled her lips. Although she didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that this guy in front of her was a pioneer for refining apprentices. Learning a Spirit Rune in a few minutes was something she had never heard of before.
However, she also realized that the reason why Lin Xuan could learn a Spirit Rune in such a short time was mainly because of his immense mental power.
Most people who started learning Spirit Runes in their teens didn't have a strong enough soul. They would usually practice dozens of times in a day, and their mental power would be exhausted. They could only wait until the next day to recover before they could continue cultivating.
However, Lin Xuan relied on his immense mental power to practice hundreds and thousands of times in a few minutes. This was simply terrifying. Even she couldn't do it.
