Chapter 1258 Finally, A Discerning Person Came

Yu Huang stood outside the door in silence for a long time. When there was no more movement inside, she raised her right hand and knocked on the iron door.

She knocked heavily because she was afraid that the person inside couldn't hear her.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The iron door shook loudly.

At first, the room was very quiet. After a while, her neighbor's voice sounded. "Are you an administrator delivering toilet paper?" He had just contacted the administrative staff of the lake island and asked them for toilet paper. However, just as the message was sent, the administrator arrived.

This speed was too fast.

It seemed that this group of administrators wasn't completely useless.

After asking that question, the man heard a crisp female voice coming from outside the courtyard. "Hello, sir. I'm this year's new student, Yu Huang. I've chosen your path and came to acknowledge you as my mentor."

The man was squatting in the bathroom.

After he looked down at the toilet, he raised his head to glance in the direction of the iron door.

He didn't expect that a new student would choose him as a teacher this year, nor did he expect that the student would come under such circumstances.

The man's legs were already numb from squatting.

Then, Yu Huang heard her prospective teacher roar in exasperation, "Do you have toilet paper?! If you do, I'll accept you. If you don't, I won't accept you!"

Yu Huang rolled her eyes.

This teacher was really unreliable. He was even more unreliable than Professor Gold Ingot, that foodie.

After Yu Huang took a deep breath, she took out a bag of tissues from her pocket. Then, she turned her psychic power into a hand and held the bag of toilet paper. She controlled the hand to fly into the courtyard and send the toilet paper to the shabby bathroom at the back of the house.

The man couldn't see the psychic power, but he could see a bag of toilet paper floating over.

The toilet paper that girls used looked very cute. There was even a little girl in a princess dress imprinted on it.

The man took the toilet paper with a complicated expression.

A moment later, Yu Huang heard footsteps.

After she stood on her tiptoes and looked through the iron gate fence, she saw her teacher walking towards her.

With a creak, the iron door was opened from the inside by the man.

The man leaned against the rusty iron door and stared at Yu Huang outside the door for a moment before saying, "New neighbor next door?"

Yu Huang hurriedly bent down and bowed to the man respectfully as she said humbly, "Greetings, teacher." No matter how unreliable the teacher she chose was, she had to acknowledge him.

Besides, the other party was the true owner of this lake island. The academy had turned the lake island into a high-end villa area, but it still kept the other party's dilapidated house, so it could be seen that this man wasn't an ordinary person. Besides, the trash bag wasn't actually filled with trash.

Seeing that Yu Huang's attitude was respectfully, the other party nodded and said to her, "Come in."

AfterYu Huang walked into the iron door, she looked around the courtyard where she had barely any place to stand in. She looked around carefully, but she didn't where to stand.

Seeing that Yu Huang didn't follow him, the man frowned and asked her, "What? Do you find my courtyard messy?"

Yu Huang raised her head and looked straight into the man's eyes as she said honestly, "The spirit herbs in your courtyard are too precious, so it would be a pity if I accidentally trample on them."

Hearing this, the man looked at Yu Huang seriously.

"You recognize them?" He took out an old pipe from his tattered pocket and bit it in his mouth. As he held a roll of leaf smoke in his hand, he lowered his head and said, "Tell me, which ones do you recognize?"

After Yu Huang's gaze swept across the spirit herbs, she became shocked.

She suppressed her shock and replied in a low voice, "Purple Soul Grass, Ghost Cry Root, Fleur Flower…" Yu Huang reported the names of a bunch of high-level spirit herbs that were on the verge of extinction. As she reported all their names, her gaze swept across the moss under her feet, and her heart started racing again. She took a step back and stared at the moss all over the ground as she asked in shock," Could all the moss on the ground be Divine Birth Grass? "

Hearing this, the man suddenly smiled.

He didn't say whether Yu Huang was right or wrong. He only smiled with satisfaction and marveled, "Finally, someone who knows her stuff."

As the man stepped on the moss on the ground with his feet, he asked Yu Huang, "How old are you?"

Yu Huang hurriedly replied, "27 years old."

"27 years old." Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man pursed his lips and smiled. "You're still a little kid." He glanced at Yu Huang's body from head to toe before his gaze landed on her eyes and he said, "Most people don't recognize these things in my courtyard. Even the senior professors in the academy don't recognize them. How come you recognize them?"

Yu Huang told the man, "My mentor is knowledgeable and has strict requirements for me. Under his supervision, I memorized all the spirit herbs, spirit artifacts, and array formation books." Her mentor was a genius, so she couldn't embarrass him by being incompetent.

"You have a good mentor." The man finally finished rolling his cigarette.

After he placed the cigarette into the pipe, he raised his eyebrows at Yu Huang.

Yu Huang froze for a moment before she finally understood what the man's gaze meant.

She suppressed her heartache as she walked to the man on the Divine Birth Grass. Then, she raised her right index finger and a beam of fire lit up on her fingertip.

The man lowered his head slightly, and Yu Huang used the Purifying Evil Phoenix Flame to light the cigarette for him.

After the man took a deep puff of the cigarette, he marveled in pleasure, "As expected of the Phoenix True Fire. It's so powerful."

Upon hearing this, Yu Huang was even more certain that the other party was a mysterious big shot.

Although this big shot had an ordinary appearance and was dressed a little shabby and lived in a dilapidated house, he was definitely very powerful.

The man led Yu Huang into the house.

After Yu Huang stepped into the solid wooden door, she stood in the mud-paved living room while looking around her teacher's house.

There was a leak in the roof, and the room was shabby. There was only a dining table and two chairs in the living room. The two chairs were covered in slurry, and the leg of one of the chairs was broken. There was a calligraphy painting on the mud wall.

Other than that, there was also a pile of tattered scrap metal.

After the man walked to the only intact wooden chair and sat down, he said to Yu Huang, "Make me something to eat. After eating, we'll have the ceremony where you acknowledge me as your mentor."

Yu Huang could only go cook.

When she arrived at the kitchen, she realized that there wasn't even an appliance in the man's kitchen. The stove was made of mud and burned firewood. The iron pot in the stove even had a few small holes, so it couldn't even hold water. Yu Huang was speechless.

Fortunately, she had a self-heating hot pot.

Seeing that Yu Huang actually carried a self-heating hot pot with her, the man was quite satisfied. As he ate the beef and potato rice, he said in a muffled voice, "My surname is Song, and my name is Song Ji. You can call me Professor Song."

Yu Huang called out to Professor Song.

Professor Song continued, "You can't touch the things in my room." He stared at the scrap metal on the ground as he said jokingly, "These things are too dangerous. If you touch them, you will go crazy." With that said, he raised his head and stared at Yu Huang solemnly as he said, "I'm not lying to you."
