Soul Masters, who are often seen as high and mighty, belong to sects that hold a very high position in the world of Soul Masters.
As for exactly how high it is, Xu Daniu doesn't know.
The only time he learned about Soul Masters was when he was six years old, when a Grand Soul Master from the Spirit Hall helped him awaken his Martial Soul.
At that time, he gained his first understanding of the world of Soul Masters, and it was completely different from the world he had been in before.
He longed for things like spirit beasts, spirit rings, and spirit skills.
However, when his awakened martial soul was Blue Silver Grass and his innate soul power was only half a level, he was destined to have no connection with this world that ordinary people yearn for.
That great soul master said that Blue Silver Grass is a universally recognized useless martial soul in the soul master world, and his half-level soul power talent also indicates that his talent is not high.
No matter how hard you try, it's still the same...
Xu Daniu is an orphan. He doesn't know who his parents are. He lives a humble and difficult life in this world. Fortunately, he has a kind village chief who is willing to take care of him.
However, when he was fifteen, the village chief died, and he became a person again.
But that's enough. He has the ability to survive and won't starve to death.
He thought his life would just continue like this, eventually leading to procreation and the cycle repeating itself.
However, Xu Daniu did not expect that one day, a boy would find him and point out a place called Holy Soul Village as his destination.
He was given a generous reward to find the drunken blacksmith in that village and have a batch of weapons forged.
Xu Daniu had no ulterior motives. Although the amount of money was substantial, the reward offered was enough to make him go through the trouble.
However, the boy also released his martial spirit.
Xu Daniu felt he would never forget the silver-black dragon-shaped martial soul he had seen, compared to his Blue Silver Grass.
The difference is just too big!
Xu Daniu didn't say anything. This money was enough for him to earn in several months of hard work, even though he had suffered a little distrust and insult.
However, since Soul Masters naturally held ordinary people in a superior attitude, Xu Daniu didn't pay too much attention to it.
So he went to Holy Soul Village as the boy requested, and as instructed, he was to keep a close eye on the boy's work and make sure he didn't let him cut corners.
Moreover, because the quantity of the custom orders was so large, the other party, despite not liking it, still allowed him to stay there.
For three days, Xu Daniu stayed in the simple house with the blacksmith.
After returning, Xu Daniu went to see the other party, thinking he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
I thought everything would be fine once I handed over the things I left at home, but the other person suddenly said, "From now on, you'll stay with me. Don't be a vegetable seller in the village anymore."
Although he didn't know why the other party wanted him to follow him, Xu Daniu didn't think he was anything special or superior to ordinary people.
If I had to say something, it would probably be that he's stronger and more resilient than others, able to take a beating.
Xu Daniu couldn't help but ask, "Why do you want me to follow you?"
If he didn't ask again, Xu Daniu would really be worried.
"I can ask anyone, why wouldn't I ask you?" the boy answered honestly, "Besides, you're honest."
"Okay!" Xu Daniu thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
People all want a better life. In Xu Daniu's mind, being with a Soul Master would be better than his current life.
and,
Although he was an ordinary person, he also wanted to live a better life than his ordinary one.
He was sitting in a carriage now. If he were himself, he might never have the opportunity or ability to ride in such a high-class carriage, but now he could enjoy it just by following the boy.
This feeling made Xu Daniu feel strange and somewhat unreal.
"Da Niu, what are you thinking about?" Yu Tianyi, sitting opposite Xu Da Niu, looked at Xu Da Niu with some curiosity. He was lost in thought, which seemed odd.
"It's nothing..." Xu Daniu looked at Yu Tianyi and said, "Young Master, I will do my job well."
Leaning back there, Yu Tianyi said casually, "I'm not a bullying young master, I won't make things difficult for you. You just need to do what I tell you to do."
"Yes, young master!" Xu Daniu nodded with wide eyes as he looked at Yu Tianyi lying there asleep.
Actually, I didn't come to you because I didn't have a Nascent Soul.
Yu Tianyi, with his back to Xu Daniu, opened his eyes.
You are an orphan, with a simple and honest nature, and the only person I have contacted when I went out. If the sect finds you and tries to contact you again, even though I have made very careful arrangements, you may still be captured and taken back.
So the only option is to keep you by my side.
Chapter 8 My Lovely Uncle
"Guests, you've arrived!"
Upon hearing the coachman's voice, Xu Daniu immediately reminded the still-sleeping Yu Tianyi, "Young Master Tianyi, we've arrived."
"Have we arrived?" Yu Tianyi, who had just yawned, slowly woke up and lifted the curtain of the carriage to look outside.
It is indeed a city, but I don't really have much of an impression of it, and I can't say I'm familiar with it.
After all, the difference between what is described in the book and the reality that is actually depicted may not be large, but readers may not be able to tell the difference.
"This is Notting City..." Snowdrift Village is a small village. Although Notting City is also a remote small city, the difference between the city and the village is still very obvious.
Wearing a high-end outfit with a black base and bright silver dragon patterns, Yu Tianyi stood beside Xu Daniu, observing the surrounding situation.
The streets are wide and the pedestrian traffic is decent. If this were a city, the family members probably wouldn't have come looking for us.
Yu Tianyi was considering the matter in his mind. After all, what he wrote was about going out to have fun, and having fun naturally meant going to lively places. So, it was obvious that Notting City was definitely not suitable.
The search direction of the parents and elders in the family is completely opposite to this, which greatly reduces the possibility of Yu Tianyi being discovered.
"Big Bull"
"Young Master Tianyi"
Yu Tianyi instructed, "Go and ask someone where the Elementary Soul Master Academy is."
"Yes, young master."
After asking for directions, Da Niu led Yu Tianyi toward Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.
Soul Masters are a special group, and even nobles sometimes have to avoid confronting them.
Therefore, even the primary Soul Master Academy has buildings that are far more luxurious than ordinary noble mansions. They look grand and classy, and are an extremely eye-catching sight in the entire town.
"What can I do for you?" The gatekeeper standing at the door asked Yu Tianyi and Xu Daniu.
Xu Daniu and Yu Tianyi were dressed in luxurious clothes, which were obviously expensive and not something that ordinary people could afford.
Even though Xu Daniu was dressed in silk clothes, he couldn't hide his former rustic air.
However, Yu Tianyi's noble air was even more pronounced under the influence of these clothes.
In one life he was a rich second-generation, and in this life he is a powerful figure of unknown generations. It would be difficult for Yu Tianyi to have an ordinary temperament.
"Young Master Tianyi?" Upon hearing this, Da Niu turned to look at Yu Tianyi.
Yu Tianyi said to the gatekeeper, "Please go and inform the master."
"You're looking for a master?" The gatekeeper glanced at Yu Tianyi and Xu Daniu with slight surprise.
Yu Tianyi said, "Yes, thank you for your help, Da Niu."
Yu Tianyi gave Xu Daniu a look.
"Hmm?" Xu Daniu looked at Yu Tianyi with a slightly puzzled expression, not quite understanding.
This idiot
Yu Tianyi rubbed his forehead, took out a silver soul coin from his pocket, and placed it in the gatekeeper's hand under the gatekeeper's envious gaze: "Thank you for making this trip."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll go right away." Without asking why, the gatekeeper smiled and took the silver soul coin, then ran towards the academy.
"Da Niu…" Yu Tianyi felt he needed to give Xu Da Niu a little reminder.
"Young Master Tianyi," but before Yu Tianyi could speak, Xu Daniu looked at him with a pained expression and said, "Why did you give him only a silver soul coin? It's just running an errand, why would you need to give him a silver soul coin!"
For Xu Daniu, who grew up in poverty and came from a poor family, a silver soul coin was definitely not a small amount; it was enough to support him for a week.
But now, having been sent away by Yu Tianyi like this, how could Xu Daniu not feel upset?
"Da Niu, you need to change your way of thinking…" Yu Tianyi looked at Xu Da Niu: "The thing you need to remember is that in most cases, your young master is not short of money, and you, who are by my side, will not be short of money as long as you don't squander it."
The boy spoke casually, without pretense or exaggeration.
Her long, jet-black hair was simply tied back with a red ribbon.
With her red lips and white teeth, and her radiant skin, she exuded an air of nobility and a subtle air of authority that set her apart from ordinary people, causing Xu Daniu to involuntarily nod in obedience.
Seeing this, Yu Tianyi said, "Do you know what to do when you face this situation in the future?"
"Give me the money!" Xu Daniu blurted out.
He felt incredibly good to be able to say those words so easily.
He was tall and robust, with short black hair and a resolute face that showed a hint of melancholy, yet was full of spirit and energy.
He was dressed in a well-fitting, simple but not dirty black outfit.
Yu Xiaogang walked alongside the gatekeeper, filled with doubt.
Who is it?
Yu Xiaogang didn't think the person the gatekeeper described was someone he knew, but since the other party had already come all this way, he didn't mind coming out to meet him.
Sometimes, when people are lonely for a long time, their curiosity increases.
"Who is looking for the master?"
Sitting in Yu Xiaogang's room, a boy with short blue hair looked at the notebook in his hand, which contained many things he didn't know.
He was like a sponge, rapidly absorbing knowledge he didn't know.
He frowned as he looked at the parts he didn't quite understand, and he made a note of them so he could ask Yu Xiaogang about them when he returned.
"Who are you?"
Judging from appearance alone, Yu Xiaogang couldn't say he knew the boy, but inexplicably, he felt a slight sense of familiarity with him.
Yu Tianyi raised his head and pretended to smile, saying, "Uncle Xiaogang, have you forgotten about me so quickly?"
With his big, blinking eyes, Yu Tianyi looked exceptionally cute and was overjoyed to see Yu Xiaogang's stiff face, open eyes, and rapidly contracting pupils.
As expected, Yu Xiaogang really was there.
His plan could continue. Ma's faking it was almost nauseating!
Chapter 9 Me—Unruly, Arrogant, and a Spoiled Young Master, Yu Tianyi
"Tianyi, it's you!"
Yu Xiaogang was also extremely surprised. He really did not expect that the child in front of him would be the nephew he used to hold in his arms and tease without crying or making a fuss, who always liked to pinch his face and play with him with an interesting look that was not appropriate for a child of that age.
Yu Tianyi smiled and said, "Yes, Uncle, aren't you happy to see your nephew...?"
Facing this child, whom everyone found endearing and lovable, speaking these words with a smile, Yu Xiaogang felt a mix of emotions.
Yu Tianyi is his nephew, the little devil he once held and who even peed on his face.
It represents the home he longs to return to, the home he has always watched over but cannot get close to for various reasons.
Is this the young master's uncle?
Standing to the side, Xu Daniu looked at Yu Xiaogang with surprise. This was an ordinary man in his eyes, but this man was his young master's uncle.
Xu Daniu was also very curious as to why a member of that family would be studying at a small academy in such a city.
However, neither Yu Tianyi nor Yu Xiaogang cared about Xu Daniu's thoughts.
They are in a strange atmosphere, and this atmosphere exists only between the uncle and nephew.
However, at this moment, Yu Xiaogang was caught up in a variety of things, so he chose to stand still, hesitant and stammering.
This is a typical ostrich mentality: unwilling to face reality, simply escaping, using avoidance as a way of dealing with things.
Whether it's the best or not, it's at least one way.
Since you're not coming, then I'll come!
The best thing about children is that they are not mature enough to understand things. Because they are not mature enough, they can do things that ordinary people cannot do, but which ordinary people have to accept.
"Uncle, Tianyi misses you so much..." While Yu Xiaogang was in a daze and slightly at a loss, Yu Tianyi ran up to Yu Xiaogang, hugged him, pressed his face against Yu Xiaogang's body, and muttered, "Uncle, really, you only hugged me once and then you disappeared."
Not knowing where to put my hands, I just held them up in the air.
Looking down at Yu Tianyi, who was holding him, Yu Xiaogang sighed, but the expression on his face also softened.
He gently placed his hand on Yu Tianyi's shoulder, and with his other hand he rubbed Yu Tianyi's head, softly comforting him, "Alright, you're a big kid now."
Yu Tianyi raised his head and looked at Yu Xiaogang, saying, "Uncle, I'm only six years old. I'm not a big kid at all. I'm clearly very young."
"Hahaha..." Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but laugh.
However, Yu Tianyi's next words made Yu Xiaogang's smile freeze: "Uncle, how long has it been since you washed yourself? You smell awful."
Yu Tianyi released his hand in disgust and moved a little further away from Yu Xiaogang.
"..." Yu Xiaogang really didn't know how to describe Yu Tianyi.
Yu Xiaogang looked at Yu Tianyi curiously and asked, "Tianyi, how did you find me?"
"I brought Da Niu out for a walk, and I happened to see you on the road, so I knew you were here."
