Chapter 275 Noah's Warning!
"Would you like to be my disciple, Long Tian?" After accepting Song Liu as his disciple, Wu Han seemed to have gained some unfounded confidence and asked Noah to be one as well. His eyes were filled with eagerness and expectation.
"Pfft!" Noah placed his hands on his face to try and stop himself from laughing out loud. "Sorry, let me just get this straight, you want to be my teacher?"
"Not teacher… but Master." Wu Han's confidence staggered seeing Noah's reaction; he could not help but wonder if Noah was from any hidden power because he knew about the known ones and he had never heard of anyone as talented as Noah.
"Good one." Noah chuckled while patting Wu Han's back. "For me to even accept you as my teacher, let alone my master, you should know more than me."
"I do know many things that even the top powers have no idea about." Wu Han countered immediately. Just like others, he also did not like being looked down on by someone who was not even one-third his age.
"Really? Let me take one of your disciples as an example, Song Liu. You did not even know why she was not cultivating, and even now you have no idea what is wrong with her body." Noah pointed out carefully.
"I do not want to make you feel bad or I am not looking down on you, but you are not even strong enough to beat me in the same realm." Seeing the unconvinced expression on Wu Han's face, Noah sighed and spoke up bluntly.
He did not want to hurt the man's feelings. During this one day, he had a good time with Wu Han. He could not have an open conversation like this with Elysia or Xin Yan, and even they understood this point. This was the reason Elysia was not talking inside his mind every other second.
"Now you are just being arrogant." Wu Han did not believe Noah at all. "I am at Soul Budding Realm. Even if I have my hands tied, I can beat a brat like you without any trouble. You can seal my realm all you want, but the battle experience I have can alone help me win easily."
Shi San's eyes widened hearing Wu Han's realm. She could not believe that the poor-looking, perverted idiot in front of her was such a strong man. 'He should be one of the strongest men on the continent.'
Unlike the shock Shi San was facing, Song Liu did not look much affected by the information. It was like either she was too ignorant to know about the power the cultivators in that realm held, or she knew about it before.
"It's your choice if you believe me or not, but I won't be your student or disciple." Seeing the dejected look on the man's face, Noah offered another choice. "I can be an elder at your sect if you are able to handle the consequences."
Hearing Noah's words, Wu Han felt like scoffing and cursing at him, but when he heard the entire sentence, he became curious as to what consequences he might face for taking someone like him as an elder.
"We should talk more at my home. I can take a better look at your disciple's problems there. But first, I need to ask you something, madam." Noah suddenly changed the topic after hearing something inside his head. "I would like to know if you have heard about some weird people walking in the capital, or anyone suspicious?"
Hearing his question, Wu Han's attention was immediately diverted to the topic. His eyes narrowed suspiciously before he also looked at the madam as if waiting for her answer.
"Hmm! I don't know why you are asking this, but I don't every other person who walks by this pavilion counts. They all act suspicious." The old woman did not mind helping Noah out a little for helping her young miss, but she really did not have any idea what he was talking about.
"Then do you know anything about what happened a couple of days before? The explosion where many people died?"
"Why do you want to know about that?" It was Wu Han who spoke before the old woman could even think about it.
"I live in that area, so I need to be prepared in case something like this happens again." Noah shrugged at the question with a smile on his face.
"You think people have the guts to pull something like this again?"
"Can we stop with the pointless questions? As soon as I get the answers I am looking for, we can leave this place." Noah sighed, "I am sure you don't want two very aggressive women at your throat for keeping me in a place like this."
"Are they your Daoist partners?" Not being able to control himself, Wu Han asked the question with a sly smile on his face, but Noah's death glares were enough of a reply for the man.
"Heavens are truly blind to give someone like him talent like this." Shi San muttered from the back with a disgusted look on her face.
"Ahem! You don't have to ask her anything; I can give you the answers to the questions you are looking for." Wu Han coughed out loud to hide his embarrassment. Much to Noah's surprise, he had answers to some information he was looking for, but the sly look in his eyes told him that getting them would not be easy. Just as he expected, Wu Han added the reason he was being so generous.
"But in exchange, I want answers to some questions. Are you willing to give me the answers? Hehe…" The grin on Wu Han's face was so tempting Noah to repeat what he did to gang members in the Tian Ren Empire, by mistake, on purpose.
Noah did not answer immediately but looked at the old woman to see if she had the answers, but the woman shook her head, knowing what he wanted. She had no idea what happened that day as all the information was sealed by the Emperor. Only high-ranking officials knew this information, which is why she was shocked to hear that the pervert knew about this information.
She thought he was trolling Noah, but seeing how good friends they seemed to be, she did not bother telling him.
"Come on, I am not asking you to be a disciple anymore. Isn't that a good thing!" Seeing the dark look on Noah's face, Wu Han nudged him with an even wider grin.
"Fine, I will agree to your offer, but you have to promise me to behave properly at my house or whatever will happen to you would be your fault."
"I swear!" Hearing Noah's warning, Wu Han agreed without hesitation, but it did not take him too much after reaching Noah's home to break the promise.
*Boom!*
