Perhaps to highlight the noble and detached status of Spirit Masters, the Notting Academy's school gate had an overall width exceeding twenty meters.
However, it wasn't fully open. Instead, on the iron gate closer to one side, a smaller gate approximately one and a half meters wide was opened.
Right next to the small gate was the gatekeeper's room.
Through the window, one could see an ordinary-looking young man sitting inside in a very casual posture.
Nangong Lingyun swept a glance from afar, and the various aura fluctuations on his body suddenly became imperceptible.
Mental Spirit or simply powerful mental force can possess many magical special effects, reducing the sense of presence is just the most insignificant one.
Conversely, of course, it also holds true, it can affect other people's mental judgment, conscious perception, that is called Charm.
The reason for doing this is because his appearance, whether in clothing or temperament, is more extraordinary than many noble children.
And the dispute with the gatekeeper is one of the prerequisites for triggering Grandmaster to take Little San as a disciple, and he doesn't want to spoil it.
The three continued to walk forward without stopping.
Just like in the original story, as they approached the school gate, the young man suddenly jumped out and said:
"Hey~~, wait, wait, what are you doing?
This is Spirit Hall Academy, is it a place for you country bumpkins to come to?"
His expression was haughty, his tone laced with a hint of anger, and he spread his arms across the iron gate, looking like an unyielding warrior.
It was as if his noble status and majestic power were being challenged.
Old Jack had been to Nuoding City more than once or twice and knew the city people's disdain for the word "countryside."
Almost without hesitation, he hurriedly smiled ingratiatingly:
"Little brother, these two children are this year's work-study students, and I'm bringing them to register.
Please be lenient and see what procedures need to be completed?"
As he spoke, he took out the certificate issued by Su Yuntao and respectfully offered it with both hands.
Hearing the word "leniency," the gatekeeper's expression unconsciously lit up.
But when he saw that Old Jack's palm was completely empty except for two pieces of paper and a row of thick calluses,
the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
So, you want to use words to be lenient?
His purpose wasn't to check identities, but just to take the opportunity to ask for some benefits.
He took the Spirit certificate, glanced at it casually,
without even looking closely, and threw it directly on the ground, mocking in a contemptuous and angry voice:
"Hahaha, this is so funny, Innate Full Soul Power Blue Silver Grass Spirit?
And this one, the Spirit is actually oneself? Could it be that they didn't awaken a Spirit at all and deliberately said the Spirit is oneself?
It's simply the biggest joke in Tianxia.
I've been a gatekeeper at the academy for more than four years, and I've never heard of a student with Innate Full Soul Power,
not to mention Blue Silver Grass, a recognized useless Spirit, and that even more ridiculous oneself Spirit.
I think this Spirit certificate must be forged by you."
As the saying goes, it's easier to deal with the King of Hell than a minor devil.
The young gatekeeper almost wrote his Make things difficult on his face, not concealing it or deliberately showing it, he was deliberately making things difficult for them.
However, just as he was about to open his mouth to spout nonsense again, his face suddenly changed, his mouth half-open, and he froze in place, unable to move.
Because in front of his throat, a sharp, cold sword had appeared at some point.
The sharp aura of the sword tip even made his skin feel a clear stinging pain.
"Keep talking?"
Nangong Lingyun smiled slightly. In his mental perception, Grandmaster was already in position.
The gatekeeper had also successfully uttered the two keywords, "Blue Silver Grass" and "Innate Full Soul Power," so he naturally wouldn't let him continue to show off.
Especially since, according to the original description, this guy would then insult and even try to beat Jack Grandpa.
Knowing that his loved one would be humiliated and still letting the plot proceed, he didn't have such a strange hobby.
Actually, as long as he could find a way to stall Yu Xiaogang for a while and let Tang San take out his Sleeve Arrow to kill this gatekeeper, it should trigger a pitfall achievement and reward a lot of cool points.
But thinking that it might implicate Old Jack, Nangong Lingyun finally extinguished this plan.
Even thieves have their code. He didn't plan to be a complete saint, but he still had to adhere to the most basic bottom line.
"Grandpa, you go back first. Don't worry about this. I can handle this little thing. Even if I can't handle it, there's still Yan-jiejie."
After the young man shut up, Nangong Lingyun put away his long sword and politely sent Old Jack away.
Then, with a wave of his hand, the two certificates automatically flew up and landed in his and Tang San's palms respectively.
Object manipulation, like divine sense detection, concealment, and Charm, is also a basic ability of the mental Spirit.
Seeing this magical scene, the pupils in the gatekeeper's eyes suddenly shrank, knowing that he had kicked a steel plate,
and he hurriedly tried to soften his tone:
"Little brother, I…"
But before he could finish speaking, he felt a sudden sharp pain in his abdomen, and his whole body was lifted up by a surge of great force and crashed into the iron gate behind him.
Also, with Nangong Lingyun's punch, the zombie-faced old man who had been preparing behind the pillar,
instantly suppressed the excitement in his heart, adjusted his expression to be full of majesty and integrity, and then suddenly took a step forward and shouted loudly:
"Stop!"
The real Grandmaster is even less flattering than in the original story.
Dead fish eyes, zombie face, short and stocky, hair mixed with black, white, and gray, hairstyle slightly messy.
His appearance is not to say how ordinary or average it is, at least it is full of vicissitudes, ravines crisscrossing, and hacked with knives and axes.
This hacking with knives and axes is not to describe a square face and tough temperament,
but to refer to being hacked on the face with knives and axes, still in a disorderly manner.
Seeing him appear,
Xiao Sanzi's body suddenly shook, like a turtle looking at green beans, and he had already started to make eye contact.
The gatekeeper also seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, forcibly squeezing out a bit of flattery on his painful face.
Calling out affectionately:
"Gra… Grandmaster, Grandmaster…"
But Nangong Lingyun ignored the newcomer, casually threw a gold coin at his feet,
and couldn't help but complain:
"Obstructing someone's path is a greater hatred than killing their parents.
For ordinary families, Spirit Master academies are dream halls that can change their fate and even cross classes to become nobles.
None of the students who can enter here are truly ordinary people.
Don't look at them as just a group of children, commoner status, penniless, seemingly insignificant,
but at the moment of awakening Innate Soul Power, becoming a Spirit Master in the future is already just around the corner.
You, an ordinary person without any spirit power, actually have the audacity to solicit bribes from future Spirit Masters,
and when you failed to extort money, you threatened and humiliated them.
Even in order to prevent students from entering the school, you openly slandered and questioned the Spirit Hall's issuance of false Spirit certificates.
With such ability, aren't you afraid of being judged to have a way to die?
You said that you have been a gatekeeper here for four years, then it is only a year or two away from the graduation of the first batch of bullied students, think about it carefully."
After speaking, he turned to Tang San and said:
"This Teacher seems to be quite upright, you go in and register with him first, I'll go buy something and come back later."
Then he turned around without hesitation and ran back the way he came.
