A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 4093

Jared could only follow the old man and leave helplessly. Not knowing where the old man was taking him, Jared suddenly felt like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

Soon, they stopped at a shabby thatched hut with three rooms, more broken down than a doghouse. Sunlight shone into the room through the roof, highlighting its dilapidated state. Inside, it was even shabbier, and there was no one around.

“Senior, you… don’t tell me you live here?” Jared asked, his face full of surprise.

After all, this was the ancestor of the divine pattern of the Duad Formation Sect. He might not live in a grand palace, but at least he should have a decent mansion. What did these thatched huts signify? Was the Duad Formation Sect so poor?

“Why? Do you think this place is too broken? Let me tell you, the elders and masters of the Duad Formation Sect always beg to live here with me,” the old man said. “But I won’t let them come. It’s so peaceful here, and no one disturbs me when I practice. We are all practitioners; we shouldn’t care about the external environment!”

Not caring about the external environment was one thing, but living in such a broken place was another. Jared was speechless.

“Are you going to let me practice with you here?” Jared asked, looking at the simple house.

“No, you practice here by yourself. I have other things to do. How can I accompany you here?” the old man replied.

Jared became anxious. “You accepted me as a disciple, but you won’t teach me? Are you really accepting me as a disciple?”

“Don’t be anxious. Since I accepted you, I will definitely teach you,” the old man said. He then took out a little white rat from his sleeve, stroked it gently, and said, “You teach your junior brother well here.”

After speaking, the old man let the little white rat go.

The little white rat jumped onto the table, squeaking as if mocking Jared.

“You dare to mock me? I’ll beat you flat!” Jared exclaimed, slapping the little white rat with one palm. But as he did, the little white rat flashed with golden light and transformed into a middle-aged man in his thirties.

“Junior brother, you dare to attack me? Be careful, or I’ll report to the master and make you suffer!” the middle-aged man said.

Seeing the little white rat transform into a human, Jared quickly stopped. He didn’t expect the rat to be capable of such a transformation.

“Senior brother, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect you to be able to transform,” Jared said, embarrassed.
