âWhat will you do?â Wang Teng taunted her.
Su Lingxuan glared at him. Suddenly, she saw a bottle of chili on the table. She said, âI will⦠I will eat this bottle of chili.â
âYou said it. Master will bear witness!â Wang Teng hurriedly blocked her path of retreat.
Su Lingxuan was flabbergasted.
âYou guys!â Gorlin burst out laughing.
After dinner, they went to the study.
There were runes and rune pens placed on the table. Wang Teng picked up a rune pen and started contemplating.
âYou canât draw it, right?â Su Lingxuan teased him. âSenior Brother, if you donât know how to do it, you can just admit it. Thereâs no point in being stubborn at this point.â
âAlright, Lingxuan, give Wang Teng some time to think. Donât disturb him.â Gorlin was much more patient than her. He stood at the side and spoke to Su Lingxuan calmly.
Wang Teng glanced at Su Lingxuan. He knew what to draw, but he needed to decide how much he should reveal to them so that they wouldnât be dumbstruck. It would be a little too astonishing if he drew the complete rune.
What would happen after the morph rune appeared?
He wasnât worried. Morph talent and morph rune were two different concepts. No matter how strong the morph rune was, it couldnât be compared to the morph talent.
Wang Teng didnât say anything, his expression unchanged even when Su Lingxuan teased him. After contemplating, he started drawing with his rune pen. Soon, a few outlines of runes appeared on the paper.
âWhat are you drawing!â
Su Lingxuan didnât understand the drawings at all. Just when she was about to mock him, she heard Gorlinâs surprised voice.
âThis isâ¦â
Her expression changed slightly. When she saw Gorlinâs pondering face, her heart dropped. âNo way?â
Su Lingxuan kept quiet instantly. She turned to look at Wang Teng and saw him giving her a sinister smile. A bad feeling crept up her heart.
She bit her lips, glaring at him without backing down.
She didnât care if she was right. She must not lose in terms of stance!
Gorlin got more and more enchanted by the runes on the table. In the end, he pushed Wang Teng away and leaned closer to study them. He kept exclaiming, âInteresting, interesting, I didnât expect it to be like this.â
After some time, he lifted his head and looked at Wang Teng with appreciating eyes.
âI didnât expect you to get this result. Itâs not perfect, but if we continue researching, we will be able to patch the flaws,â he said.
âYou taught me well.â Wang Teng chuckled as he curried favor with his master.
âHaha, I only taught you for one day. It has nothing to do with me. Itâs your innate talent.â Gorlin was caught between laughter and tears.
âMaster, will these outlines be beneficial for your research?â Wang Teng asked.
âYes, they will help a lot. I did gain some inspirations, but this is your work. I will not steal it. You should continue the research. It will help you greatly in your rune studies,â Gorlin said.
Wang Teng was speechless.
This wasnât how the script should go.
He planned to give Gorlin some inspiration. With Gorlinâs attainments, it wouldnât be difficult for him to come up with the morph rune. That would save him much trouble.
But, Gorlin wanted to stop his research altogether.
Master, do you have to be so righteous?
Wang Teng didnât know if he should laugh or cry. He found an excuse and said, âMaster, why donât you continue the research? My attainments in rune study arenât high, so I will have to spend a lot of time if I want to go in-depth. This isnât a good thing for me.â
Gorlin was startled as he looked at Wang Teng. He pondered for a long time before he replied, âHow about this? I will continue my research. If youâre interested, you can find time to do your own experiments. We will verify our results with each other and perfect the rune together.â
Wang Teng didnât reject him anymore. He nodded and said, âOkay, we will do it this way.â
Su Lingxuan was thunderstruck. Wang Teng really managed to come up with the morph rune!
Although it was just an outline, it was an impressive discovery.
Mind you, Gorlin didnât manage to find anything after researching for a long time. Wang Teng only studied it for a day, yet he achieved astonishing results. It felt incredible just thinking about it.
If it stopped at that, it would still be fine. However, Master Gorlin even wanted Wang Teng to carry on the research with him and verify their results. He had already placed Wang Teng in the same position as him!
This treatment made her extremely jealous.
âJunior Sister, what did you say just now?â Wang Teng looked at Su Lingxuan with an evil gaze. His sly voice pulled her out of her thoughts. âIf I have any findings, you will eat that bottle of chili, right?â
âHa, hahaâ¦.â Su Lingxuanâs face was tense. She immediately gave an awkward and rhythmic laugh before saying in embarrassment, âI think that there might be some misunderstanding. Senior Brother, listen to me.â
âBefore I listen, please eat that bottle of chili,â Wang Teng said mercilessly. He took out the bottle of chili and pushed it in front of Su Lingxuan.
âYou, you!â Su Lingxuan was stunned. âWhen did you take it?â
âWhen you said you wanted to eat it, I brought it along.â Wang Teng sniggered.
Su Lingxuan felt so frustrated that she wanted to vomit blood. She glared at Wang Teng. âYouâre a scheming man!â
Wang Teng: â¦
You were the one who wanted to eat it. Why are you calling me a scheming man now?
âYou asked for it. Who can you blame now?â Wang Teng said with a cold smile.
âMasterâ¦â Su Lingxuan didnât know what to do. She could only turn and plead for Gorlinâs help. She looked at him pitifully and begged him in a sorrowful tone.
âHahaha, this matter is between the two of you. Donât look for me.â Gorlin found it interesting too. He laughed loudly and turned to leave.
âAh, Master, donât leave. Save me!â Su Lingxuan wanted to run away, but Wang Teng stopped her. âAre you trying to escape?â
When Su Lingxuan saw Wang Teng blocking the door, she knew that she wouldnât be able to leave if he didnât move. Her pupils started twirling furiously. She called out sweetly, âSeniorââ
âStop, stop!â Wang Teng felt his head turning numb from her greeting. Goosebumps appeared all over his body. He stopped her hurriedly before she could finish and said, âIâll give you a chance. You can either eat this bottle of chili or help me wash my smelly socks. Choose.â
âWhat? You want your smart and cute junior sister to wash your smelly socks? You are so⦠ruthless!â Su Lingxuan widened her eyes and questioned him as if she had heard something astonishing.
âBang!â Wang Teng slammed the bottle of chili on the table. âIf you donât want to, forget it. Finish this bottle of chili and youâre still my smart and cute junior sister.â
(â_â;) Su Lingxuan felt that the person in front of her was a devil with horns. She regretted it. She regretted seeking death.
âJunior Sister, Itâs just a bottle of chili. You wonât die if you eat it.â Wang Teng consoled her.
However, it had the opposite effect. Su Lingxuan couldnât hold back anymore.
She pouted, and tears started flowing down her face. âWah~â
This was Wang Tengâs expression:
