If he mastered mental power, he could secretly observe Xu Nuo without being noticed. At least he would have the benefit of admiring Xu Nuo.
Thinking this, he felt a bit smug, wondering how Xu Nuo would react if he knew Park Su was using the mental power he taught to secretly watch him. He continued to observe Xu Nuo without restraint, silently admiring him, thinking Xu Nuo was flawless from every angle.
What he didn't know was that Xu Nuo's mental power was far superior. As soon as Park Su focused his mental power on him, Xu Nuo felt it.
Moreover, Xu Nuo's energy was still circulating in Park Su's body, so he was fully aware of where Park Su's attention was and could even sense his emotions. It seemed that secretly observing him made Park Su very happy.
So he didn't stop him, just wanted to see what he was up to. But he didn't expect that Park Su would just use his mental power to observe him without probing, which made him a bit puzzled.
What was so interesting about him that Park Su would watch him for ten minutes without shifting his attention elsewhere, and even seemed so happy about it?
Since there was nothing else to do but watch him, Xu Nuo naturally interrupted his focus, "Concentrate on learning to use your mental power. Don't get distracted. Try to probe around and see how far you can see now."
Park Su was startled and worried that his spying had been discovered, so he immediately shifted his attention outside, only to find that he could only see the yard and not beyond it.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, he said, "I still can't see outside, only a bit of the yard."
Xu Nuo nodded, knowing that such things couldn't be rushed, so he said, "Just remember the method I taught you. Now I'll help you concentrate your mental power. Follow me, and we'll look at the situation outside together."
Park Su didn't understand what Xu Nuo meant and was about to ask when he felt a strong mental power surge into his mind, making him feel a bit dazed.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xu Nuo's low voice gently say in his ear, "Relax, don't resist, follow my rhythm."
Hearing this, Park Su relaxed his body and slowly let his mental power follow Xu Nuo's, and indeed, he saw the group of people busy outside the yard.
However, his face, already red to the neck, now felt like it could bleed. As a physically pure but mentally impure gay, Xu Nuo's words made it hard for him not to think inappropriately.
But he didn't have the guts to do anything to Xu Nuo. He had just spied on him and admired his good looks, and now Xu Nuo's words made him feel quite embarrassed.
Of course, he knew he couldn't let Xu Nuo know about his shameless thoughts, or he wouldn't know how Xu Nuo would tease him.
So he tried to shift his attention to the people outside, who were busy dealing with the zombie corpses around them, which made his embarrassment less intense.
But then he felt confused and couldn't help frowning as he asked, "Didn't you put isolation talismans on the house? Why are there still so many zombie corpses around us?"
Xu Nuo's gaze fell on Park Su's almost blood-red earlobe as he calmly explained, "Those people are smarter than you. They are trying to do us a favor. They know you were breaking through, and they want to make friends with us. Rushing in would surely be annoying, so they are doing it on purpose to show they're helping us deal with the zombies so that we feel obliged and won't kick them out."
Park Su was puzzled, "But you put the isolation talismans, so normal zombies shouldn't be able to sense us inside. Isn't what they're doing unnecessary? In the end, aren't they just causing us more trouble?"
Xu Nuo sneered, "Indeed, it's unnecessary, and they know it. They already figured out the effect of my talismans. What they're doing now is just to curry favor with us!"
"No way, they haven't even met us. Why would they want to curry favor with me? Shouldn't they be like that previous convoy, coming to provoke us? They must be a powerful convoy to kill so many zombies."
Park Su was confused. In his view, ability users in the apocalypse, especially those in convoys, were usually very proud. It seemed unbelievable that they would try to curry favor with him.
Xu Nuo glanced at Park Su and said, "It seems you didn't listen to me earlier. I said they were attracted by the commotion you made during your breakthrough. Since you made such a big noise, they naturally think a master is breaking through here. Especially when they saw the talismans on the door they hadn't seen before, they wouldn't dare to offend easily. So they are using this method to make us owe them a favor so that when they make requests, it will be hard for us to refuse. Even if we really wanted to refuse, seeing them like this, we wouldn't feel any resentment, as it seems they are acting out of goodwill.If we explain about the talismans to them, they might even ask for them and definitely give a bunch of reasons. They would use what they are doing now as an example, telling us that they have already helped us, so we can't refuse to give them a talisman. This is their cleverness in doing things."
Hearing Xu Nuo's explanation, Park Su couldn't help but sigh, "They must be blind to think I'm a master. With you here, how can I be associated with being a master? And in such a short time, they have really thought through so much? Are there really so many consequences waiting for us? Being part of a convoy, they truly have many considerations."
After saying this, he unconsciously glanced at Xu Nuo. Xu Nuo, who could see through others' intentions, also had many thoughts, proving that strong people have many ideas.
However, the fact that the convoy people put so much thought into currying favor with him amazed him. In his previous life, only in the early apocalypse did some people want to befriend him because he awakened abilities. But even then, those people didn't try to please him, and the ones who did were just ordinary people in the early apocalypse.
As for ability users, they were always proud. At first, they could interact equally, but in the later apocalypse, when his attack power was insufficient, he had to act as support and ended up pleasing others instead. There was no one trying to please him.
So Xu Nuo's words surprised him. Xu Nuo hadn't expected that Park Su valued his opinion so highly and lacked confidence in himself. Patting Park Su's head, Xu Nuo said,
"Maybe you don't count as a master in front of me, but with your current abilities, you'd be considered a top expert if thrown outside.Moreover, you're still learning from me, aren't you? Learning from a master will naturally make you a master over time. So stop underestimating yourself."
Park Su thought Xu Nuo made a good point. After all, he had broken through to the third stage within a month of the apocalypse and had a powerful green ivy as his fighter, which was quite impressive.
He was thinking about what Xu Nuo had just said and suddenly realized with surprise, "You mean you're willing to teach me?"
"Aren't I already teaching you?" Xu Nuo raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Am I doing something else right now?"
"No, I mean besides making space rings, would you teach me other things? Like your Taoist techniques!" Park Su quickly explained. He felt he needed to clarify and seize the opportunity to settle the matter quickly.
Although he didn't know why Xu Nuo brought it up, it was a great opportunity for him, and he didn't want to miss it. So he continued to ask, albeit a bit cheekily.
Xu Nuo was surprised by what he had just said. He hadn't expected himself to offer to teach Park Su, knowing he usually avoided trouble. Why would he agree to this?
Originally, he only planned to escort Park Su to the B base to repay the favor of saving his life.
But he hadn't expected that within a month of knowing Park Su, he would agree to teach him how to make a space ring, something he had studied for three months. Now, he was offering to teach him Taoist techniques, which even he found unbelievable.
These things couldn't be learned in a day or two. Just thinking about it seemed troublesome, so when Park Su asked again, he hesitated.
But Park Su was good at seizing opportunities. He looked at Xu Nuo with wide almond eyes, almost teary, making Xu Nuo's heart itch. Unable to resist, he blurted out, "I can try to teach you, but whether you can learn depends on your own aptitude. I don't have the patience to teach repeatedly."
Hearing Xu Nuo's affirmative answer, Park Su was overjoyed. He immediately stood straight and respectfully said, "Xu Nuo, you are really great. I will definitely study hard, not be lazy, and learn with dedication."
Having Master Xu Nuo teach him made him incredibly happy. Even if he couldn't become as skilled as Xu Nuo, learning just a bit from him was something the strongest in the apocalypse could never get, so how could he not be happy?
Seeing his enthusiasm, Xu Nuo didn't retract his earlier words. Instead, he rolled his eyes and replied, "Really? I strive for self-improvement every day. Enough with the flattery. You'd better think about improving your cooking skills. That would make up for me taking on such a big trouble like you.
And since you're planning to stay here for a few days, those people outside need to be dealt with. You can't let them keep monitoring our movements. Besides, I'm about to break through myself, and I don't want any more trouble."
