Gozheng was an elder of the Array Master Guild in Fengjian City. Today, he was in his room contemplating a new array pattern. When the female attendant reported that someone had come to be certified as an array master, Gozheng felt a bit of anticipation, after all, array masters in Fengjian City were extremely rare. However, when he came out, he found that the person seeking certification was only sixteen years old. A sixteen-year-old boy coming to be certified as an array master, in Gozheng's view, was simply absurd and purely disruptive!
"Out! Don't delay my work and disturb others."
Gozheng said angrily.
Under the black robe, Lin Tian frowned even deeper. What's wrong with this old man!
"I am indeed here for the array master certification, absolutely not to cause trouble. Please help me with the test."
Lin Tian said.
There were still many people in the Array Master Guild, and they naturally noticed the commotion. Once they understood what was happening, everyone burst into laughter.
"Little guy, that's your mistake. If a sixteen-year-old kid like you can be certified as an array master, wouldn't the array masters in Beiyang Country be as common as the ground? You can't joke around here."
"Exactly, this is the Array Master Guild, a sacred and solemn place!"
"Go back quickly, don't cause trouble."
Many people shook their heads.
The Array Master Guild often sold special materials and posted tasks, so there were always many people gathered here. Although these people were not array masters, they gradually became more familiar with them after frequent visits. A sixteen-year-old coming for certification was, in their view, a complete fantasy.
Under the black robe, Lin Tian was speechless. What's going on here?
"Elder Go, I am indeed here for certification. Please give me a chance. If I am lying, you can punish me as you see fit."
Lin Tian said sincerely.
Gozheng glared at Lin Tian, even more angry.
"Out!"
Gozheng shouted, then waved his sleeve and left on his own.
All around, everyone watched Gozheng leave with respect, then turned to look at Lin Tian. Many people were smiling, pointing at Lin Tian and shaking their heads with laughter.
"Sir, Elder Go is not in a good mood today. What do you think..."
The female attendant said cautiously.
Under the black robe, Lin Tian shook his head: "It's fine, I've caused you trouble. I'll leave now."
Although he was unhappy, the female attendant had been polite from start to finish, so Lin Tian wouldn't take it out on her.
Without lingering, Lin Tian walked out of the Array Master Guild.
As he stepped out of the guild, the scorching sun hit him, making his mood even worse. He cursed under his breath and quickened his pace.
Bang!
Just then, a person turned the corner at the entrance of the guild and bumped into Lin Tian.
Lin Tian stumbled, and his mood worsened even more.
He steadied himself and looked up. Under the black robe, his face froze. This... is an acquaintance.
"Huh?"
Almost at the same time, a surprised voice came from the other side.
It was a gray-robed old man with white hair and beard, wearing the unique emblem of the Array Master Guild on his chest. Two gold bars were embroidered under the array pattern. It was none other than Pushi from the Yi Bao Pavilion.
"Are you... the young brother from half a month ago?"
Pushi asked tentatively.
In Fengjian City, although there were very few people wearing black robes, there was more than one. Therefore, Pushi was not 100% sure that this person was the young man who auctioned the Fusion Martial Patterns at the Yi Bao Pavilion half a month ago.
Lin Tian nodded and said: "Yes, it's me."
Pushi's face lit up with a smile. He had guessed right. Looking at Lin Tian, he said with a smile: "Young brother, have you successfully been certified as an array master? What level are you? Hehe, I bet you won't be lower than me."
Seeing Lin Tian walk out of the Array Master Guild, Pushi assumed that Lin Tian had already been successfully certified as an array master. After all, the three Fusion Martial Patterns that Lin Tian had auctioned at the Yi Bao Pavilion were of astonishing quality.
Lin Tian shook his head, slightly helpless: "Don't mention it, I was kicked out."
"Huh? What happened?"
Pushi frowned.
Pushi had absolute faith in Lin Tian's array skills, so how could he have been kicked out?
Lin Tian didn't hide it and briefly recounted what had happened in the guild.
Upon hearing this, Pushi burst into laughter.
"It was that old Gozheng." Pushi laughed, then looked at Lin Tian and said: "Young brother, don't mind it. That old man is actually quite nice, just too rigid and conventional. I happen to have some business at the Array Master Guild. Come with me, and this time, I'll make that old man see your prowess."
Under the black robe, Lin Tian thought for a moment and then nodded.
"Then I'll trouble you, Elder Pushi."
He said.
"No problem, it's a small matter."
Pushi waved his hand.
...
Inside the Array Master Guild, many people were gathered in groups, either selecting materials or looking at the tasks posted on the bulletin board. Many were quietly discussing or deliberating.
Just then, a gray-robed old man and a black-robed person entered the guild.
Creak!
With this sound, many people turned their heads.
"Huh? Isn't that the little kid from earlier? Why is he back?"
"Is he trying to cause trouble again?"
"This time, he might be thrown out by Lord Go himself."
Many people laughed.
Upon hearing this, Lin Tian, under the black robe, was speechless, and Pushi beside him was also taken aback.
At this moment, some people in the guild noticed Pushi and were stunned, their faces changing dramatically.
"Is this... Lord Pushi?!"
"Second-rank array master, guild honorary elder, and Yi Bao Pavilion executive, Lord Pushi!"
"Wait, that black-robed youth, why is he standing with Lord Pushi?"
"This... although they both wear black robes, they can't be the same person, right?"
Many people's faces changed.
In Fengjian City, Pushi was undoubtedly a person of high status and prestige. Few people knew him, but many knew of him. Even the heads of the major families in Fengjian City would show respect to Pushi.
In the guild, the female attendant was also greatly surprised and quickly walked toward Pushi.
"Elder Pushi!"
The female attendant showed a respectful expression.
"Um-hum."
Pushi responded with a faint smile.
The female attendant turned her head and looked at the black-robed person beside Pushi, asking uncertainly: "Are you the one from earlier..."
"Yes, it's me, I'm back to disturb you again."
Under the black robe, Lin Tian smiled.
The female attendant's face changed dramatically. This youth actually knows Pushi?! And almost at the same time, the other people in the guild were also shocked. Is this black-robed person really the youth who caused trouble earlier?
The female attendant felt a bit dizzy. She bowed to Pushi and said: "Lord Pushi, this gentleman, please wait a moment, I'll go inform Lord Go."
The female attendant was truly shocked.
"No need for that trouble." Pushi waved his hand, then raised his head and shouted into the depths of the guild: "Old Go, you old man, come out! My young friend is here for array master certification, and you dared to kick him out! If I don't see you in three breaths, I'll go and smash your courtyard!"
Pfft!
In the guild, many people were speechless. Is this really Lord Pushi?
At the same time, these people were also shocked. This black-robed person who was kicked out earlier actually has a connection with Pushi!
In the depths of the guild, Gozheng, dressed in a green robe, rushed out in a hurry. As soon as he came out, he glared at Pushi and shouted: "Pushi, what are you doing here, acting like a madman!" After a pause, Gozheng suddenly saw the black-robed person beside Pushi and frowned: "You're that kid from earlier? Why are you back!"
"Yes, I'm back."
Lin Tian said calmly.
He had no good feelings toward this old man.
Gozheng was slightly angry and was about to lose his temper, but at this moment, Pushi spoke: "Old Go, are your eyes failing? Refusing such an array master genius, if the guild president finds out, he'll definitely skin you alive."
Gozheng was a bit unhappy, but then the old man frowned.
"Are you his teacher?"
Gozheng asked Pushi.
Pushi glanced at Lin Tian and smiled bitterly: "Don't say nonsense, I don't have the qualifications to be his teacher."
Whoosh!
Upon hearing this, the onlookers in the guild were all shocked.
"What's going on with this black-robed youth, to make Lord Pushi say such things!"
"This..."
Many people were stunned.
Gozheng also frowned again. He knew Pushi well and knew that Pushi was not the type to joke around, but the age of the person under the black robe was indeed a concern.
"He's only sixteen, sixteen. Can he do it?"
Gozheng still didn't believe it.
Pushi's expression was calm: "Whether he can or not, let him try and you'll know."
Gozheng stared at Lin Tian for a long time, then huffed.
"Fine, Pushi, for your sake, I'll let him try." Then he changed his tone: "If he fails the test, don't blame me for being ungracious. I'll throw him out myself!"
"Alright, if he really fails the test, you can throw me out too." Pushi said, but then he smiled: "But, old man, what if he passes? What then?"
Gozheng frowned: "What do you want?"
Pushi smiled slightly: "A few days ago, didn't you buy a Bai Ling Grass from the Yi Bao Pavilion? You haven't refined it yet, right? If my young friend passes the test, give him the Bai Ling Grass, how about that?"
Whoosh!
Upon hearing this, everyone around was stunned.
Bai Ling Grass, that's a spirit medicine for refining the organs! Moreover, it has the effect of invigorating qi and blood, even benefiting Divine Pulse Realm experts. It's worth at least tens of thousands of spirit coins!
