[20] Bet
Wang Xi was angry, but he also knew that if he angered the Buddha in front of him, he would definitely not have any good fruit to eat. After all, the power of life and death is still in his hands.
The talisman apprentice assessment must also be his nod. So he was silent, stood aside, and chose to wait!
"Maybe this is Pu Lao's test!"
Wang Xi speculated for a moment, and stood straight beside Pu Lao.
"What's the matter with your hand? The strength of the carving is not enough...... Pu Lao stepped forward and slapped Levi's arm.
"And you, the seal is not evenly ground enough, do it again!"
Pu Lao scolded the other child again.
Several half-year-old children were about to cry when they were reprimanded by Pu Lao, and they all had depressed faces.
"When the sun goes down, everyone will give me three 'Divine Walking Talismans', if you can't give it, don't have dinner tonight!" Pu Lao gave these children a task, and then sat back next to Wang Xi and rested.
"Oh, I think I forgot about you......"
Pu Lao took a sip of tea, then glanced at Wang Xi, and said quietly.
"Teacher—"
Pu Lao waved his hand and interrupted Wang Xi's words: "Say, what are you looking for me?"
"Teacher, I want to assess the talisman apprentice!"
"Huh?"
Pu Lao turned his head to look at Wang Xi, and there was a strange color in his eyes.
"Fu Seal mastered?"
Pu Lao's eyes, which were originally a little dizzy, suddenly became sharp.
"Got it!"
Wang Xi raised his head, and with a calm gaze, he met Pu Lao.
"What's your name?"
"Teacher, my name is Wang Xi!"
"Okay, Wang Xi, should be fifteen years old this year, right?" Pu Lao looked at Wang Xi from top to bottom.
"Yes!"
"You should know that it doesn't make much sense for you to take the talisman apprenticeship now......"
"I want to try!"
Wang Xi's eyes still did not flinch, and this sound also made the other children in the room turn their heads.
"Hasn't he ever been an apprentice talisman until now?"
"I think so, but I don't think the teacher is upset—"
A child had just finished speaking, but he met Pu Lao's sharp eyes, and when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly retracted. Several children looked at each other, but discussed it privately.
"Why doesn't the teacher agree with Brother Wang Xi's examination for the apprenticeship of the talisman?" asked Xiao Li Wei quietly.
"Who knows?"
"Because of Brother Wang Xi's age!" The tallest child looked at Wang Xi and said helplessly in his eyes, "My brother was also because of his age, and the teacher didn't let him pass the ......."
Pu Lao didn't care about the child's discussion anymore, but looked at Wang Xi and said seriously: "Talisman making is a step-by-step process, and in a month, it will be the talisman master promotion test, and you are in your last year this year." Now that the apprenticeship of the talisman is examined, it is another matter if it is unsuccessful, in a month, it is impossible to produce a miracle-"
"What about the apprentice of the talisman maker, he doesn't want to leave the talisman tower in a month!"
In Pu Lao's eyes, it seemed that the verdict had been announced.
Wang Xi felt more and more that the old man in front of him was a little stubborn.
"Teacher, assess the apprentice of the talisman, this is something that every student wants to do, regardless of age!"
Wang Xi's words no longer pleaded, but became more and more determined, "I know that you may think that I am too much to take the Fu apprenticeship exam, but you won't understand that a teenager has persevered for seven years, just to wait for this day!"
"Your words are not fair to him!"
Wang Xi's voice was a little loud, but Pu Lao's eyes became more and more cold.
"Fair, do you think it's fair to let you participate in the assessment?"
"I have seen countless people fall on the road to promotion, living in inferiority all their lives, after saying so much, don't you understand? I see that you are standing here just now, so you will persuade you so hard, you can go and inquire, there is no master of the charm maker at the age of fifteen, who has been a master of the charm for a month?"
Pu Lao said a lot in one breath, and finally his face eased slightly, and he looked at Wang Xi and said: "I'm all for your good, after you leave the Fu Tower, you can find another job, talisman maker, it's really not for you!"
"Whether it is suitable or not, it's not up to you, teacher, you have the final say, you have to look at the assessment, don't you?"
"Are you questioning my judgment?" Old Pu looked up, his eyes cold. The words are no longer polite, but rhetorical.
"I respect you and call you teacher. You're busy, I'm waiting, I've done what a student should be, and you don't have the ethics you should have as a teacher, so why should I question you?"
Wang Xi smiled coldly, without a trace of fear in his eyes, and greeted the somewhat angry Pu Lao.
For the first time, Mr. Pu looked at the student in front of him seriously.
Of course, he is no stranger to Wang Xi, one of the oldest children in the hall. For this kind of students, he has a laissez-faire attitude, these children are destined to leave the Fu Tower, as a teacher, as long as he does his duty as a good professor.
As for mentoring, he doesn't waste this kind of time on children who are not gifted.
Because fifteen years old can't become a talisman apprentice, which in itself speaks of no talent. Fu Tang is not a charity hall, and the children sent away are not only Wang Xi.
So for Wang Xi, Pu Lao never cared!
But it was such a student who was now looking at himself condescendingly, with a hint of contempt in his eyes, and questioning his decision.
No student has ever dared to question himself!
Pu Laohuo stood up and pointed at Wang Xi: "Get out, get out of here!"
This roar frightened several children around him!
But Wang Xi's feet didn't move: "Old Pu, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
Pu Lao became more and more impatient, and just wanted to reprimand, but saw Wang Xi take out a talisman from his arms.
"If you win, I'll give you this talisman. It's a battle talisman, and you should know what it's worth, teacher!"
Ice Talisman!
Wang Xi took out the battle talisman that Yin Weilan gave him.
No talisman master could refuse such a big temptation. Pu Lao can't do it either, not to mention that he is a big talisman maker, and he has made a talisman all his life, but he can't make a battle talisman.
For him, this talisman may be the last hope for promotion. No matter how old he is, as long as there is a slight possibility of promotion, no one can refuse.
Not to mention that Wang Xi has a perfect battle talisman in his hand, it is a waste talisman of a battle talisman, Pu Lao will be crazy.
That's the talisman made by the alchemist!
He has been stuck at the threshold of the Great Talisman Master all his life, and he is only one step away from the Talisman Refiner, but this step has stuck him for decades!
Looking at the Binglan Talisman in Wang Xi's hand, Pu Lao's face changed suddenly!
His breathing became a little rapid......
"If you lose, I want you to apologize to me...... In front of all the students in Fu Tang, apologize to me!"
A trace of pride flashed on Wang Xi's face.
Those who insult others will be humiliated forever!
