2526 The Spirit Mother’s Decision!
The Spirit Mother sucked in a breath. At that moment, he felt as though he had just fallen into a scheme. All of a sudden, it was as though he was on the losing side in his fight against Bu Po.
The Spirit Mother had wondered more than once where Bu Po had found the courage to take him on.
With his courage, the Spirit Mother found it difficult to force him into a corner. All he could do was continue testing him.
Bu Po would not dare to be too brazen while he had his sister with him for fear of putting her in danger!
“Little Po, do you think that I won’t be able to teach you anything? I can’t believe you see me as so useless! It looks like your heart is no longer in the Spirit Mother Federation! I’m so curious to know just where your heart is now. You’re a reserve disciple, yet your heart is not in the Spirit Mother Federation. This won’t do! I thought this was made clear when you first became a reserve disciple!”
Bu Po’s sister could sense how Bu Po and the Spirit Mother were crossing swords and dared not begin eating the fruit in her hand. She took a quick bite before setting it aside and held her breath as she watched the Spirit Mother. She was terrified that the Spirit Mother would suddenly strike out at Bu Po.
Her gaze did not contain much respect and was mostly wary.
She was afraid that the Spirit Mother, who was beloved by millions in the Spirit Mother Federation, would harm her brother.
Mountain Ridge Source had spoken to Bu Po for two reasons. First, she wanted to set him at ease and allow him to interact with her. Second, she wanted to test the Spirit Mother and see if she could pick up on anything when he spoke with Bu Po.
Mountain Ridge Source was afraid that the Spirit Mother was hiding his power and that she had misjudged him.
But if he had sensed her aura, he would not be able to sit as still as he was currently. There could only be one reason to explain his lack of reaction: he had not noticed her.
Mountain Ridge Source fully relaxed and thought, ‘This Spirit Mother looks gentle and innocent, but there is a lot to read between the lines of his words!’
Since Bu Po intended to have a showdown with the Spirit Mother, Mountain Ridge Source felt he could make things clear now.
However, Lin Yuan had only sent her there to protect Bu Po, and she did not have the right to interfere with his decisions.
Bu Po could tell that the Spirit Mother was trying to test him and said with a smile, “Lord Spirit Mother, what are you saying? You claim that my heart is no longer in the Spirit Mother Federation. So where do you think it is?
“If you question my intentions, why allow me to pass your nine tests instead of someone else? I thought you allowed me to pass because you trusted me. But it seems that you don’t trust me at all!”
Bu Po’s words made Mountain Ridge Source, who was hiding near his chest, shiver. Goosebumps rose all over her skin.
Bu Po was just as skilled as the Spirit Mother at putting on a weak front. They were almost cut from the same mold! If Mountain Ridge Source didn’t already know that the Spirit Mother had never taught Bu Po, she would have wondered if he had learned it from her.
The Spirit Mother gnashed his teeth when he heard what Bu Po said. He had not expected Bu Po to be so difficult to deal with!
From the way that Bu Po spoke, the Spirit Mother knew that he had no intention of communicating with him.
Thus, he did not need to waste any more time there.
He had tried to lead Bu Po so many times, but the latter had yet to show his cards.
If that were the case, he would show Bu Po his hand first!
Bu Po, I need a reason to trust you. I’m curious how you became a Class 3 Creation Master. According to my investigation, you became a Class 3 Creation Master very abruptly. Before that, you never had access to Creation Master resources.
“Please don’t tell me that you had a dream one night and woke up as a Class 3 Creation Master. I didn’t ask you about it before because I wanted you to come to me with an explanation. I’m disappointed that you haven’t done so yet.”
Bu Po smiled in the face of the Spirit Mother’s manipulative words.
It seemed as though the Spirit Mother had the upper hand now, but Bu Po had already attained victory against the Spirit Mother during their previous clash of words.
The Spirit Mother did not want to show his cards first but wanted to force Bu Po to do so instead. However, he had failed.
Given that the Spirit Mother had not tried to overly force him, it meant that the Spirit Mother was still very afraid of him.
Bu Po now had a general understanding of the Spirit Mother’s situation.
Bu Po was in no rush to reply to the Spirit Mother. Instead, he asked the Spirit Mother in a serious tone, “Lord Spirit Mother, does my sudden transformation to a Class 3 Creation Master go against the rules of my status as a reserve disciple? I became a Class 3 Creation Master thanks to the opportunities I received and my skill.
“This won’t change even if I become a Class 4 Creation Master! Not even the Sky Mother families are required to report to you how they nurture their talented members! Do you really need me to tell you about every little blessing in my life?”
The Spirit Mother was so outraged that he started to laugh. He could no longer play coy and asked, “Since you won’t tell me about the opportunities you’ve been given, tell me who is propping you up!
“As long as you promise never to do anything that goes against the Spirit Mother Federation’s profits and are sincere in thinking of the Spirit Mother Federation’s development, I can promise that you’ll be able to retain your position as a reserve disciple.
“Before I was picked to be a Spirit Mother’s reserve disciple, I had support, too. There’s no way you can become the Spirit Mother without any support!”
Bu Po had been winning in their battle of words, but he was now stunned by what the Spirit Mother said.
Bu Po had not expected the Spirit Mother to make such a promise to him, nor that the Spirit Mother had depended on others as well.
From Bu Po’s expression, the Spirit Mother knew that his guess about Bu Po’s situation had hit the mark.
Bu Po indeed had someone supporting him, and this backer enabled him to bring his sister with him to meet with the Spirit Mother.
In this regard, his past self lost to Bu Po.
The Spirit Mother continued. “Even if you don’t acknowledge me as your master, I hope we can be completely honest with each other from now on. Our relationship involves the legacy of the Spirit Mother Federation. Regardless of whose camp you are part of or which faction you’ve joined, you can’t deny that you are from the Spirit Mother Federation.
“If you hate the way that the Spirit Mother Federation is, why don’t you use your own means and ways to change things after you become the Spirit Mother? Let me ask you again. Can you promise that the faction behind you will never harm the Spirit Mother Federation and that you’ll never go against the Spirit Mother Federation’s profits?”
