Conferred Gods: Master Tongtian is my master

Chapter 179 Gambling

After Luo Shu looked at Kong Xuan, he turned to look at Deng Jiugong beside him and spoke softly:

"General Deng, can you please let me talk to General Kong Xuan alone?"

Upon hearing this, Deng Jiugong raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

He turned his head and glanced at Kong Xuan, only to see that Kong Xuan was also looking at him with no expression on his face.

Deng Jiugong pondered for a moment, then nodded and replied:

"Please go ahead, Imperial Master. I will take Tianhua and Tianxiang to the garden first.

After saying this, Deng Jiugong turned around and walked out of the main hall. Behind him, followed the two brothers Huang Tianhua and Huang Tianxiang.

The three of them walked farther and farther away, leaving only Luo Shu and Kong Xuan in the main hall.

Luo Shu retracted his gaze and slowly turned his head. His deep eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.

He looked at Kong Xuan, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his voice was low and magnetic:

"How else should I address you? General Kong? Or the son of Yuan Feng?"

Kong Xuan's originally calm face, however, seemed to be thrown into a stone the moment he heard Luo Shu's words, causing ripples.

His brows were furrowed, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and then turned firm and serious.

A majestic aura burst out from Kong Xuan. It was the pressure of a quasi-saint who had reached great perfection, pressing down on Luo Shu like a mountain.

Luo Shu felt this momentum, took a deep breath, circulated his spiritual power, resisted Kong Xuan's pressure but still maintained a calm smile.

He looked at Kong Xuan, his eyes full of admiration and expectation:

"The state of quasi-saint great perfection, the reputation of the son of Yuan Feng is indeed well-deserved."

Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan's pupils shrank slightly, his eyes were as sharp as torches, and he stared at Luo Shu closely, with a complex light of doubt and inquiry flashing in his eyes.

He spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful:

"Who are you? You can see through my true identity at a glance. This is not something that ordinary cultivators can do."

Facing Kong Xuan's question, Luo Shu still maintained a calm expression. He smiled gently, his voice gentle and confident:

"General Kong, I am a third-generation disciple of Jiejiao. My teacher is the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit. Master Tongtian is my master. In addition, I also serve as the national teacher in Da Shang."

After a pause, Luo Shu smiled and waved his sleeves, as if to dispel the tense atmosphere around him:

"General Kong, let's see if you can take back your pressure. After all, I am only at the Golden Immortal level, and it is not easy to be under your pressure."

When Kong Xuan heard Luo Shu's words, his aura subsided.

There was still doubt in his eyes, and his voice was low and powerful:

"I didn't expect that the national teacher had such an extraordinary origin. He was actually the disciple of a saint. However, I am still very curious, how did you see my true identity at a glance?"

Luo Shu chuckled, with a deep gleam in his eyes:

"General Kong, everything in the world has its own traces. Whether it's mountains and rivers, or plants, insects and fish, they all have their own unique life trajectories."

Kong Xuan listened quietly, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was attracted by Luo Shu's words and fell into deep thought.

He had to admit that what the national master Luo Shu said was true. Everything in the world does have its own unique life trajectory.

"As for how I know your identity, it was naturally by chance."

Luo Shu changed the subject and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

He did not explain much, but led the topic in another direction.

"But this is not important. What is important is that I came here today to discuss important matters with General Kong."

Luo Shu's voice suddenly became solemn. He stared at Kong Xuan, his eyes revealing determination and expectation.

Kong Xuan sensed from Luo Shu's deep eyes that the other party was unwilling to mention too much about how he knew his identity.

He understood that although Luo Shu's words were brief, they had already made his attitude clear, which was that the secret of his identity was not the focus of this conversation.

So, Kong Xuan put away his previous doubts and curiosity, and a serious expression appeared on his face.

He took a deep breath, calmed his inner fluctuations, and then said bluntly:

"Master, please speak frankly. I am all ears."

Seeing Kong Xuan being so straightforward, Luo Shu did not elaborate further. He nodded slightly, and his tone revealed a bit of solemnity:

"General Kong, I came to Sanshan Pass not for no reason, but specifically to find you."

"You must have noticed the two young men General Deng took away just now. They are the sons of Wucheng King Huang Feihu."

Kong Xuan nodded, indicating that he saw it, and let Luo Shu continue.

Seeing this, Luo Shu continued:

"I brought them here because I want General Kong to accept them as his disciples and teach them how to solve their problems."

When Kong Xuan heard this, his brows frowned instantly, and a hint of doubt and confusion flashed in his eyes.

He hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and refused:

"Master, accepting disciples is a serious matter, and I have no such intention. It would be better for them to follow you back."

Seeing that Kong Xuan refused so firmly, Luo Shu did not look disappointed.

After all, he knew before he came that it would not be an easy task to get Kong Xuan to accept Huang Tianhua and Huang Tianxiang as his disciples.

So, Luo Shu pondered for a moment and continued:

"General Kong, don't rush to refuse. You have seen that Tianhua and Tianxiang are also extremely talented. If you accept them as your disciples, it will not be an insult to you."

He paused for a moment, and seeing Kong Xuan looking thoughtful, he continued:

"Besides, 'The Black Bird of Heaven' descended to give birth to the Shang Dynasty'. Since you are protecting the Shang Dynasty for this reason, why don't you accept these two brothers as your own?"

"After all, their ancestors were all loyal to the Great Shang Dynasty, and their fortunes have been connected to the Great Shang Dynasty for generations."

"If they learn something in the future and continue to serve the Shang Dynasty, wouldn't that be a good thing?"

Kong Xuan's expression gradually became solemn, his eyes were as sharp as torches, as if he was weighing Luo Shu's words.

However, he really didn't want to accept disciples. On the one hand, accepting disciples would require preaching and supervision, which did not quite fit his indifferent and ambitious character.

On the other hand, I don’t really want to have a causal relationship with secular people.

After all, it is a time of great calamity and the world is in chaos, so it is better to try to avoid worldly involvement.

Luo Shu nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on Kong Xuan's unpredictable expression. He knew in his heart that although Kong Xuan did not directly refuse in words, his inner resistance and doubts were still heavy.

However, Luo Shu was determined to let Kong Xuan accept them both as his disciples.

Otherwise, the selected system task will not be completed.

You know, the system's reward is a treasure of acquired merit - Hongmeng Measuring Ruler. If you fail to complete the task, you will lose the chance to get this treasure.

Thinking of this, Luo Shu's heart trembled. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner excitement and nervousness.

Various strategies and arguments flashed through his mind quickly, looking for the key point that could impress Kong Xuan.

Suddenly, he had an idea and thought of a possible breakthrough.

Luo Shu spoke slowly, his voice full of sincerity and determination:

"General Kong, don't worry about it. Let's do this. You and I will fight. If you win, there is no need to mention this matter anymore. I will take the two of them back home."

"If I win, you will accept them as your disciples. What do you think?"

Kong Xuan was slightly startled, then frowned, as if he was surprised by Luo Shu's proposal.

He pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice:

"National Master, do you know that my cultivation has reached the state of Quasi-Saint Great Perfection, while you are only at the late stage of Daluo Jinxian? The difference in cultivation is so great, are you sure you want to fight me?"

Luo Shu looked at Kong Xuan's serious expression, smiled slightly, and said:

"I am sure. Although my cultivation is not as good as yours, I am also passionate and courageous, and I am willing to learn from General Kong."

After hearing this, Kong Xuan's eyes flashed with admiration. He nodded and said in a deep voice:

"What the Imperial Master said is absolutely right. Since you are so determined, I will have a fight with you."

"However, during the competition, I will suppress my cultivation to a level equal to yours to ensure fairness."

Luo Shu was delighted when he heard this. He knew that according to Kong Xuan's character, he would definitely not use all his strength to fight him.

This is great. Kong Xuan suppresses his cultivation to the same level as mine, so he can just wait to lose.

After all, he is invincible in his level.
