After clarifying that he had so many projects waiting to be researched in his hands, now that Yu Xiaogang heard Qian Xunji threatening him by withholding knowledge from Spirit Hall, he only felt like laughing.
Yes, Spirit Hall is indeed unrivaled in its research on the Light Attribute.
But he was not dependent on their Family.
There are other families on the Douluo Continent that have research on the Light Attribute, and Yu Xiaogang could completely go and learn from them.
The reason he came to Spirit Hall was simply because Yu Xiaogang wanted to learn from the best.
If Spirit Hall really wouldn't let him learn, he could just go and ask those other families.
By the time his own strength grew and he wanted to learn these things again, the items he would trade would not be you, Qian Xunji.
Besides, regarding things in the Light Attribute aspect, Yu Xiaogang was not completely copying Spirit Hall's experience.
He would also research and think for himself.
Did they really think he was the kind of mediocre Spirit Master who only knew how to study and couldn't walk his own path?
"You... Yu Xiaogang, you should be clear that nowadays, no one on the Douluo Continent can compare with our Spirit Hall regarding everything about the Light Attribute."
Seeing that Yu Xiaogang gave up the second option without much hesitation, Qian Xunji immediately became somewhat furious.
As the leader of a faction, what he disliked the most was this kind of existence that was completely beyond his control.
Coercion and inducement were useless, excessive means were not allowed, and the things the other party cared about could be abandoned at any time.
Good heavens, does it mean that all the methods he could employ were ineffective on Yu Xiaogang?
"Many thanks for the reminder, Supreme Pontiff, but letting me be imprisoned for five years is impossible."
Yu Xiaogang said very politely.
"...Kid, you should know what that five-year imprisonment is for."
Qian Xunji gripped the scepter in his hand tightly, while Bibi Dong, who was watching her teacher's appearance from the side, only felt terrified.
She really wanted to remind Yu Xiaogang not to provoke her teacher again; was he really not afraid that her teacher would use his scepter to knock him on the head?
"I am naturally clear about that, but haven't I already expressed my attitude?"
Yu Xiaogang said.
Looking at the courteous Yu Xiaogang, Qian Xunji did not know why, but he was very furious.
Perhaps it was because as the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall, no one had dared to refuse him so clearly for many years.
Now a Spirit Ancestor stood before him, and although his attitude could be called respectful, he kept saying things that refused him.
This made Qian Xunji even more agitated than hearing the remarks and actions of those who dared to oppose Spirit Hall.
"Very well, since you are so self-aware, then in the future, don't come begging Spirit Hall!"
Qian Xunji snorted coldly and waved his sleeve to signal that Yu Xiaogang could leave.
Having obtained permission to leave, Yu Xiaogang did not forget his manners. After saying goodbye to the three Titled Douluo, he glanced at Bibi Dong and saw that she was looking at him with a worried face.
So Yu Xiaogang revealed a smile towards her, and only then did he leave the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
"Bang!"
Not long after Yu Xiaogang left the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Qian Xunji, who became more frustrated the more he thought about it, slapped his desk.
"That detestable Yu Yuanzhen, his strength actually soared to that extent, and there is also Father; if it wasn't for him insisting on adhering to some rules, the secret of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect would have already been obtained by me!"
Qian Xunji said furiously.
The Dragon Scale Douluo and Iron Wall Douluo below looked at each other, and finally, Dragon Scale Douluo stood out.
"Supreme Pontiff, since that old dragon Yu Yuanzhen has already made an agreement with the High Priest, as long as that child Xiaogang is willing to tell us the secret, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect won't say anything more."
"Then why don't we just take it slow?"
"Although I haven't had much contact with the child Xiaogang, I can still judge from the intelligence that he is not the kind of person who is ungrateful."
"As long as our Spirit Hall is willing to pay, I believe he will also give us a return."
"By the way, we can also win over the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. That child Xiaogang is clearly the future Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect."
"An Upper Three Sects that is close to Spirit Hall—how is this not a good thing?"
Dragon Scale Douluo said sincerely.
Although he joined Spirit Hall and became a direct subordinate of Supreme Pontiff Qian Xunji, many times, Dragon Scale Douluo did not approve of his Supreme Pontiff's methods.
He always felt that his Supreme Pontiff overemphasized majesty, thus lacking human touch.
It was not that this approach was bad, but it depended on the situation.
For those Spirit Masters whose potential was at most a Spirit Saint, or even could not reach Spirit Saint, Qian Xunji showing his majesty would naturally make them obedient.
But if it was a Genius like Yu Xiaogang who had the potential to become a Titled Douluo, simply showing majesty was not very suitable.
For a Genius who might become a Titled Douluo in the future, if you treat him with the attitude you treat ordinary Spirit Masters, summoning him at will, and demanding him to hand over his secrets as soon as you open your mouth...
Any Genius with a bit of pride would feel uncomfortable.
In this way, after they become Titled Douluo, could they still have a good expression for you?
"Yes, Supreme Pontiff, I am not as familiar with Yu Yuanzhen as Dragon Scale is, so I can see Yu Xiaogang very clearly."
"That child should be the type who responds to soft tactics but not hard ones."
"If the Supreme Pontiff treats him in a hard way, it will only make his mouth shut tighter. If you use great kindness to win him over, he will instead tell the secret out of gratitude for receiving the benefits."
The Iron Wall Douluo on the side also chimed in.
"Hmph, you two say it easily, what about the matter with the Clear Sky Sect back then?"
Qian Xunji snorted coldly.
"Uh..."
Hearing this, Dragon Scale and Iron Wall Douluo were speechless.
Because of Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen back then, Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect once had a honeymoon period.
It was a pity that the goodwill from Spirit Hall was basically taken for granted by the Clear Sky Sect.
Thus, after experiencing several behaviors from the Clear Sky Sect that were practically those of an ungrateful wretch, Spirit Hall never released goodwill to the Clear Sky Sect again.
Spirit Hall even subconsciously started wearing colored glasses when looking at the other two of the Upper Three Sects.
"Besides, don't you think it's too late to say these things now?"
"The pressure has been applied, and the threats have been made. If I change my attitude at this time, that kid might even mock me."
Qian Xunji leaned back on his throne, his gaze fixed straight ahead.
"So, I can only walk down this road to the end now."
"However, your methods are not entirely unusable."
Qian Xunji's tone changed, and he looked at Bibi Dong beside him.
"Donger, you executed the task I arranged for you very well."
"That Yu Xiaogang was willing to bring you along when he obtained his third spirit ring, which proves that he has already regarded you as a friend."
"So next, you need to continue to make persistent efforts and continue to build a good relationship with him."
"It just so happens that I have forbidden him from continuing to read the books in our Spirit Hall's collection, so you can occasionally take one or two unimportant books for him to read."
Speaking of this, a wise light flashed in Qian Xunji's eyes.
"As the Disciple of the Supreme Pontiff, you defy your teacher to bring him books to read; in this way, will he not be moved?"
"With the two of us, master and Disciple, taking action, taking him down will be effortless."
"Heh heh, he is just a child of ten-something years; I have plenty of ways to make him open his mouth!"
