American comic book: The girl next door is Spider-Gwen

We arrived at the central hall.

Strange and his companions saw a wizard sitting at a coffee table, reading a book.

The monk was dressed in an Eastern-style Taoist robe, which gave him a mysterious air to them.

Aside from Ye Li, for a moment everyone thought he was the Ancient One.

"Thank you~"

Wanda accepted the teacup, thanked him, and several apprentice monks stepped forward to add chairs and pour tea for Ye Li and the others.

At this moment, Tony spoke first to the Taoist priest Hamil, saying, "Hello, Ancient One. I apologize for bothering you, but my friend wants to learn your magic to heal his hand... Of course, I'm also interested. Could you teach me as well? Money is no object."

"Hey, Tony."

Strange, fearing Tony might have spoken too abruptly, quickly tugged at him to remind him, "Someone told me the problem isn't money."

Tony shrugged. "Is that so? Well, that's up to you guys."

“Ancient Master, my sister also wants to learn magic.”

Pietro smiled and asked Hamil, "Would you please teach her too? And if you could teach me as well, that would be even better, hehe..."

If he learned magic, he might become as powerful as a superhero and wouldn't have to fear Stark's Iron Man suit anymore... Naturally, he wanted to learn it too.

"Pietro..." the girl called out, but didn't say anything about her younger brother...

"Master Gu Yi" still didn't say anything.

Wanda looked at Hamil, pursed her lips, and seemed about to ask for a request as well...

Ye Li pulled her aside and greeted a bald, elegant woman pouring tea, "Master Gu Yi, how have you been?"

Gu Yi still wore that gentle and wise smile, and winked amusedly, saying, "The tea is very good, have a taste."

Strange: "Huh?"

Pietro: "Huh?"

"what?"

Tony glanced at the Ancient One, then turned to Hamil, and finally asked Mordo, "Which one is...?"

Modu's usually calm face seemed to be unable to suppress a smile. He nodded to Gu Yi and took his leave.

Also taking their leave was the monk Hamil, who was wearing a Taoist robe. (Zhao Qianhao)

Now, it's obvious who the Ancient One is...

Strange: "..."

Stark: "......"

Pietro: "..."

The three men were momentarily speechless, their toes digging into the ground...

"You always surprise people, you're so unexpected."

The Ancient One's kind gaze swept over Wanda and the others, and she smiled, praising them, "They're all promising talents..."

"Ha ha!"

Upon hearing the Ancient One's approval, Pietro chuckled, "I knew I had exceptional talent!"

He seemed to see himself in the future, waving his hand and unleashing a magical ray of light—Tsuna!

Gu Yi maintained her smile, tapped him lightly with her folding fan, and continued, "Except for you, child."

"Well....."

Pietro's smile froze...

This approachable-looking Ancient One is such a master at messing with people...

Chapter 137 Conversation with the Ancient One, Dark Book of the Gods!

"Pfft~"

Ye Li couldn't help but chuckle, finding Gu Yi's quirky and mischievous humor very much to his liking.

Perhaps the Ancient One will indeed become his first close female friend, someone with whom he gets along perfectly on a personality level.

As for the promising talents she mentioned...

It's actually quite easy to understand.

Strange goes without saying.

Wanda is the Scarlet Witch, and Tony's magical talent is undeniable (in the comic book parallel universe setting: Tony Stark was the Sorcerer Supreme).

In comparison, Pietro's talent naturally seems... ahem... amateurish.

"Drink slowly, it seems you also think this tea is good."

The smile on Gu Yi's face took on a more enigmatic meaning. She raised her slender left hand and gently wiped away a drop of tea from the corner of her lips with her middle finger.

"Ahem... Sorry, Ancient One."

Ye Li said somewhat awkwardly, "I accidentally sprayed it on you..."

787

"fine."

Gu Yi placed her middle finger on the white handkerchief beside her, wiped away the tea droplets, and smiled nonchalantly, "After all, I'm not a little girl anymore, am I~"

[...Do you still remember this...?]

Ye Li recalled that when they last met, he teased Gu Yi for covering her face with a fan like a little girl, and then she used the Time Stone to turn back into her youthful appearance...

To be honest... thinking back on that elegant beauty, she really had a unique charm. It was an elegant style that wasn't vulgar, and it didn't evoke any desire in people when they admired her.

Seeing Ye Li looking at her and thinking about something, Gu Yi unfolded her folding fan to cover the lower half of her face and stood up at the same time.

〔Um? 〕

This brought Ye Li back to his senses, and he thought to himself with a wicked grin: [A man who's hundreds of years old, is he still shy about being stared at...?]

"Come."

The Supreme Master approached the curtain in the inner hall and smiled as he invited Ye Li and his group, saying, "Since you have all come here for (CBCG) cultivation, how about I talk to each of you individually?"

"pretty good idea."

Tony, thick-skinned as ever, quickly recovered from the awkwardness. "So, who goes first, Strange? He's in a bit of a hurry, after all."

"Not urgent."

Gu Yi pointed her folding fan at Ye Li, "Let's chat for a while, Li."

"Row."

Ye Li lifted the curtain and they went into the inner hall to talk.

...

Tread.

Gu Yi took a few steps, then turned back, closed her folding fan, revealing her handsome young face, and smiled slyly at him, "Hehe~ Is it pretty?"

[Don't be so cheeky.]

Ye Li rolled her eyes, pulled up a chair and sat down, saying, "Thank you for what you did last time."

"It was just a small favor. The matter of the successor can be considered a dimensional event, and it falls within my scope of duty."

"Obligation? Who gave you this obligation?"

"I.

Responsibility always comes with rights, doesn't it?

The Ancient One took out a magic book with a spider web pattern on the cover and handed it to him, saying, "This is what you want to see."

Ye Li took the book, flipped through a few pages, and found some analysis about 'weaving magic'.

With this book...

He will then be able to better understand how to use 'Weaving Magic' and 'The Web of Fate'.

As expected of the Supreme Master's temple, there are always some strange and unusual things there.

Ye Li glanced up and saw... the green-glowing ornament that Gu Yi had changed and was hanging on his waist.

[He said he hadn't misused the Time Stone, but before I could even say anything, he pulled out the book...]

[Hmm... a female version of the Sorcerer Supreme is so thoughtful~]

"or....."

"How about we switch places and have some fun?"

Ye Li put down the spellbook, raised his wrist, and gestured to the Ancient One with the black ring on his battle suit—

The golden gem of the soul and the azure gem of space reflected each other's brilliance...

Compared to the Time Gem.
