These Familiars Are Strange

One might think that I had to choose from the three of them, but in reality…

This wasn't what I wanted.

While there was no doubt of the benefits that I would gain from taking any of them as my master, I just didn't want to accept a master right now…

If anyone knew what I was thinking, they would have thought that I was crazy.

A World Summoner was one of the top people in this world and then there was even a World Guardian on top of that.

If any of them were to announce that they were looking for a disciple, there would be people lined up around the block. There would be squares filled with people that would all want to be their disciples.

But I was thinking about turning them down.

As for the reason…

It was simply because I knew that if I were to become their disciples, then if I were to become an expert in the future, all that would happen is that my accomplishments would be credited to them.

People would say that it was all because of my master that I was able to achieve these things.

While I normally wouldn't have minded this since I was someone that would use any method to become stronger, I didn't want to do it this time.

There was a promise that I had made to a certain someone and before that promise was fulfilled, I felt like it wouldn't be right for me to do something like this. I wanted to hold my head up high when I met that person again.

So for now, I couldn't take a master.

After a moment of silence, I looked up with a determined look in my eyes as if my mind had been made up.

They had all been silently looking at me, waiting for me to make a decision.

In the end, I said, "I don't want to take a master right now."

As soon they heard this, all of them looked at me with slightly knitted brows.

It wasn't that they were offended by this, it was just that they were surprised and confused.

After another moment of silence, Mu Gong asked, "Why?"

It was one simple word, but it was all that was needed.

"There's something that I want to accomplish and before that, I don't want to take a master. Once I accomplish this, I hope that you will consider me again." I said in an honest voice.

They looked at me with the same looks on their faces, but eventually Mu Gong said with a nod, "I'm sure that you have your own thoughts, but that doesn't mean that I'll give up that easily."

This time, it was my turn to slightly knit my brows as I looked at him with a worried look.

While I didn't know why this World Guardian was so set on taking me as a disciple, it wasn't as if I could stop him if he really wanted to do something.

I had seen the power that he possessed when he pushed back Governor Nangong earlier and I knew that if he were to use it on me, I wouldn't be able to do a single thing to stop him.

It would be like a baby going against an adult.

I would be completely helpless.

But in the end, it didn't seem like he was about to use force to make me his disciple.

Instead, Mu Gong turned to the Huo Couple first and said, "You two, stay out of this."

As soon as Alexandra heard this, she slightly knitted her brows as if she was displeased with the way that Mu Gong said this.

But before she could say anything, Mu Gong said, "You're already pushing your daughter onto him, so there's no need for you to do anything else to draw him to your side. I'm different since I don't have a daughter that I can push onto him like this, so back off a bit and let me give him something good."

Alexandra slightly narrowed her eyes to look at Mu Gong, but she eventually gave a nod of agreement.

On the other hand, it looked like Huo Fan Tian really wanted to say something about this. However, he wasn't allowed to say anything as Alexandra had one hand on his thigh and it seemed like there was a trace of pain in his eyes.

Then to the side, Iris had a deep blush on her face as she turned her face away.

I had to pretend like I didn't see any of this.

I would have to be a fool to not notice these things, but right now…I couldn't afford to be distracted.

It wasn't that I didn't feel anything towards her, it was just… Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire

"It's the same for you." Mu Gong said as he turned to look at An Long.

An Long had a similar reaction to Huo Fan Tian, but there was nothing stopping him from saying anything. Though in the end, he didn't say anything as he opted to look at An Xue Yun instead.

An Xue Yun's reaction wasn't as strong as Iris', but it wasn't as if she didn't react at all.

There was a faint blush that was on her face as she turned away, as if she couldn't look in this direction.

Wang Rong took this chance to step forward and whisper, "Boss, you really are popular."

The only response that I gave him was raising my fist and hitting him in the face.

Wang Rong wasn't really hurt by this, but he did back off with a smile on his face.

Though behind that smile, there seemed to be a bit of a complicated feeling as well.

"Little sister, it's better if you just give up." That was what Wang Rong thought to himself.

Once he finished saying what he wanted to say to the two of them, Mu Gong turned back to me to say, "How about you take out your second familiar for me to see? I'll give you something good for it."
