"You are currently at the stage of building your foundation. Staying here will only waste your talent."
Old woman, who are you calling a waste? How is staying here wasting talent?
Arthur felt displeased; she was clearly insinuating that he was leading Na'er astray.
She is the Silver Dragon King; does she really need you to teach her?
Even if she hasn't recovered her memories yet.
Feeling the warmth coming from Na'er, he noticed she was holding him even tighter.
Arthur was actually very nervous.
He wasn't afraid of Na'er leaving—it was just a temporary separation. He had experienced it far too many times in his past life; it was no big deal.
Even if Na'er chose to leave, it wouldn't cause him much emotional distress.
What he feared was the Silver Dragon King. He was afraid he hadn't built up enough favorability yet.
Currently, Na'er has no memories and seems to like him a lot. But what about after she recovers her memories? How would the Silver Dragon King, who stands above all living beings, view Arthur then?
This was also why Arthur initially wanted to stay away from Na'er; entering the Silver Dragon King's sights was never a good thing.
Before Arthur had the ability to protect himself, his life and death would be at the whim of the Silver Dragon King.
Unfortunately, it was all too coincidental.
It seemed as if an invisible pair of large hands was manipulating everything from the shadows.
Na'er, who should have been in Aolai City, appeared in East Sea City.
And she even met Arthur.
After Arthur chose to distance himself, Na'er met Leng Yaozhu and used that connection to find him and become his classmate.
Knowing he couldn't hide, Arthur could only accept it. He would spend as much time with Na'er as possible, hoping the Silver Dragon King would spare his life after recovering her memories.
"Na'er, I can see you really like this boy." Leng Yaozhu clearly felt Na'er's attachment to Arthur and began to guide her.
"This boy's talent is no weaker than yours. Think about it: here, he has an Eight-Star Saint Craftsman teaching him blacksmithing, and a Super Douluo who is a Spirit Conduction Tower Branch Tower Master teaching him how to Cultivate."
"What do you have, Na'er? If you stay here, you'll eventually be left far behind by him. Will you still be able to stand by his side then?"
"This boy also looks quite handsome; when he grows up, there won't be any lack of Genius girls revolving around him."
Little Na'er couldn't tell that the description was slightly mocking. Her little face stiffened, and she twisted her small body, trying to get down from Arthur.
Arthur was displeased; the old hag was tricking a child!
He shot a glance at his uncle behind Leng Yaozhu.
"Ahem."
Agravaine stepped forward and offered a suggestion.
"Eh~"
"Tower Master Leng, that's where you're wrong. Na'er is one of our own. When I teach Little Arthur, I can bring her along too."
"No need to worry about a side profession either; Na'er can choose to be a Blacksmith. I'll just go say hello to the Blacksmith Association."
"When the time comes, they can go to school together, forge together, and Cultivate together. A perfect pair of Golden Boy and Jade Girl, wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Then what do I become? I'm Na'er's teacher!
She felt unhappy.
Leng Yaozhu's cold and enchanting figure emitted a terrifying pressure. Her beautiful eyes seemed filled with doubt as she looked around strangely, her voice carrying a hint of killing intent: "Strange, who is speaking?"
The air went still.
The students on the playground stopped watching the show and hid in the teaching building under the Homeroom Teacher's direction.
Agravaine stopped talking; he was also afraid. He shook his head at Arthur.
Kid, I'm out of tricks.
"Brother, Na'er might have to leave you." Getting down from Arthur, Na'er's voice was filled with deep reluctance.
She had made up her mind.
Or rather, she was anxious.
In her teacher's description of the future, there would be a large group of women surrounding her brother. Na'er didn't want many women pestering him.
She had to drive those women away.
She needed power!
"Brother, don't forget Na'er." Na'er hugged Arthur, getting emotional.
Arthur didn't mind.
Since he couldn't stop it, if she leaves, she leaves. The favorability should be high enough.
Besides, the Holy Spear makes Na'er feel close; it should also be useful against the Silver Dragon King.
Na'er left Arthur's embrace.
Arthur suddenly felt like something was missing.
Na'er walked towards Leng Yaozhu.
Arthur remembered what was missing. In this parting of the 'Golden Boy and Jade Girl,' Na'er's part was finished.
It was time for him to take over the scene; he had to let Na'er feel his intense sadness.
Being too calm wouldn't do; he couldn't let the girl's heart grow cold.
Arthur's eyes rolled, and he immediately burst into tears, getting into character in a second.
He knelt on the ground and wailed: "Na'er!"
"Don't go, Na'er!"
"Without you, how can I live! Wuwuwu..."
Na'er, who was about to walk into the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo's embrace, immediately had an emotional outburst.
She turned around, ran back, and hugged Arthur on the ground, starting to drop little pearls.
Little girls are so easy to trick.
Thinking this, Arthur's crying grew louder, though not many tears actually came out.
But Na'er, influenced by him, was truly crying like a rainstorm.
"Damn it!"
Leng Yaozhu was furious!
With her cultivation and experience, how could she not see that this brat was acting?
However, Na'er was truly crying, which made her heart ache.
This naturally evil brat!
Only six years old and already so crafty.
Leng Yaozhu couldn't take it anymore; her terrifying Aura pressed down on... Agravaine.
There was no other way; she couldn't exactly get serious with a six-year-old.
Agravaine would just have to suffer.
If a child is not taught, it is the father's lapse. As the uncle, Agravaine would have to bear her anger.
Agravaine's expression was full of terror, and he winked frantically at Arthur.
Kid, stop acting. If you keep going, your uncle is going to be gone.
"Sigh, three years."
To coax Na'er, Leng Yaozhu said helplessly: "In three years, I'll let you come back to be with your good brother again."
Three years is enough to build a good foundation. Coming to school here in Donghai wouldn't matter much then... In the end, Na'er still left with Leng Yaozhu, saying she'd be back in three years.
But Arthur didn't take it too much to heart.
In three years, Na'er would have long recovered her memories. Who knows what the Silver Dragon King would be thinking then?
"Sigh."
Agravaine sighed. He was Arthur's uncle and saw things more clearly than the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo.
For this child, the crying was an act, but the reluctance was real.
He patted the dejected Arthur's shoulder and comforted him: "It's only three years; it'll pass quickly."
"It's fine, I'm not that fragile." Arthur shook his head. Although he feared the Silver Dragon King, his feelings for Na'er were also real.
However, the parting indeed didn't make him too sad.
"I'm just disappointed that I won't be able to tease Na'er anymore."
"Although teasing Mu Xi is also quite fun, it's still missing a lot of joy."
"Mu Xi is already ten; she's not as easy to tease as Na'er."
"You brat." Agravaine couldn't hold it back. This child was a bit eerie; his views on these emotions were as rational as an adult's.
Not sure who he learned it from... After no longer having to spend time playing with Na'er, Arthur's cultivation began to get on the right track.
Following Mu Chen to learn, his blacksmithing progress was rapid.
Not just because an Eight-Star Saint Craftsman taught well.
More credit went to Intuition.
Under the effect of Intuition, Arthur could forge techniques far beyond his current level in advance.
Afterward, he would slowly feel the mysteries within to improve his actual level.
It was like getting on the bus first and buying the ticket later.
Mu Chen was astounded by this.
Mu Xi also gradually got used to his Heaven-Defying nature and stopped having breakdowns every day.
