The Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent, after regaining some mobility, tensed its body and looked at Xin with some confusion, seemingly not understanding why these humans, after trying to kill it, were now saving it.
It circled around Xin once, then its body wriggled, and it crawled towards the depths of the forest.
Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang was somewhat surprised by Xin's actions.
Xin merely said indifferently: "All living things have spirits. Since it is useless to us, there's no need to kill it."
Xin wasn't being soft-hearted; he simply knew that the growth of Spirit Beasts was extremely difficult, and indiscriminate killing would only lead to negative consequences, making it increasingly difficult for Spirit Masters to find suitable spirit rings in the future.
Spirit Masters take spirit rings, but they do so with principle.
"Old Snake, don't worry. Since Meng Yiran is now my student, I will naturally choose a spirit ring suitable for her based on her physique."
"However, Meng Yiran's current physical condition is still too poor, and she is not suitable to absorb a third spirit ring immediately. I want to explore the Star Dou Great Forest to find a Spirit Beast that meets my expectations and bring it back to the academy."
"After I give her special training and her physical condition improves, then she can absorb the spirit ring." Xin said indifferently.
"Hmm, since Meng Yiran is now your student, I will follow Mr. Xin's arrangements."
Earlier, when Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai were dueling, Snake Woman had already noticed that Zhu Zhuqing's third spirit ring was extraordinary, far surpassing the third spirit rings of ordinary Spirit Masters.
Now it seemed that this Xin indeed had extremely high standards. She had thought that the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent she had chosen for Meng Yiran was already top-grade, but she had not expected it to be completely beneath his notice.
"Zhuqing, Rongrong, you have just absorbed your third spirit rings, and your realms are not yet stable. You should return to the hotel with Old Snake and Meng Yiran to stabilize your realms. I will continue to search for Spirit Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest."
Xin said to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
Ning Rongrong was a little worried about Xin: "Mr. Xin, you must be careful by yourself in the Star Dou Great Forest. Don't get hurt by Spirit Beasts, or your disciple will feel distressed."
"Don't worry."
Xin smiled faintly, and with a movement of his figure, he had already disappeared into the forest.
His Shunpo movement technique was a level higher than Zhu Zhuqing's, coming and going without a trace.
"This Mr. Xin is truly a remarkable person."
"But… Senior Sister Rongrong, Zhuqing, why does Mr. Xin wear a mask? Does Mr. Xin not want us to see his appearance?"
On the way out of the Star Dou Great Forest, Meng Yiran still asked the question she most wanted to ask.
Snake Woman was also very curious about the answer to this question.
If it were for some special occasion where he didn't want to show his face, wearing a mask would be understandable, but why wear a mask just for hunting spirit rings?
"Don't ask! Don't look!"
"Mr. Xin's appearance under the mask is very scary. If you look, your heart will stop, and he'll shoot laser eyes, 'biu~' hitting you, and you'll be finished."
"So, from now on, you absolutely must not ask Mr. Xin why he wears a mask, and even more, you must not remove Mr. Xin's mask, otherwise the consequences will be very serious!!!"
Ning Rongrong said with great solemnity.
"Is it that serious?" Meng Yiran was indeed frightened.
"Yes!"
Ning Rongrong nodded vigorously.
She absolutely could not let them see Mr. Xin's face.
Otherwise, all of her junior sisters would become her love rivals.
"..."
"But, Senior Sister Rongrong, Mr. Xin's mask doesn't seem to cover his eyes, does it? If he had laser eyes, they should be fired directly?"
"Huh? This, this… I haven't thought about this yet, you're not allowed to ask! Not allowed to ask!"
