I was just bluffing to trick Ning Xuan, that was it. Is this guy really that gullible?
Ning Xuan's reaction completely flustered it.
"I said I'm willing. What's your method?"
"Ahem, well... a verbal promise isn't enough; we need a ritual. Rest assured, as soon as the ritual is complete, I'll teach you immediately!" As it spoke, its very soul began to tremble with excitement. If I can really bind myself to this kid, I'll recover in no time!
"A ritual? In that case, forget it."
Ning Xuan's words left it stunned. Then, it began to panic.
"Wait! Didn't you just agree? A man must keep his word!"
"You're the one going back on your promise. Where I come from, a verbal agreement is binding. We don't need any rituals. First, you're suddenly acting friendly, and now you need some bizarre ritual? You're definitely trying to trick me," Ning Xuan said, his expression the picture of innocence.
Before it could respond, Ning Xuan asked, "By the way, how old are you?"
