Chapter 153 Mysterious Handsome Man
Zhou Dian was staring at a fresh corpse with his eyes shining when he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.
When he looked back, he realized that the other person was his new master whom he had recently worshipped.
Seeing Xiao Yuheng in gorgeous clothes behind her, his first reaction was not curiosity, but -
Run away!
He picked up the corpse, took two steps at a time, and ran towards the donkey cart opposite the pile of corpses with the speed of wind and thunder.
Shen Yue had finally seen him, so how could she give him a chance to escape? She spun around, tapped the saddle with her toes, and flew after him.
Zhou Dian had just put down the body and had no time to drive when Shen Yue grabbed his arms and twisted them behind his back.
"Hey, hey, hey, Master, please spare me! My old arm can't stand being twisted like this!"
Seeing that he didn't seem to be pretending, Shen Yue let go of his hand, pulled out a golden whip from her sleeve, and turned on the barbed switch.
"You knew it was me, and yet you still dared to run? If you dare to take another step forward, don't blame me for being so unrecognizable!"
Zhou Dian looked at the hard and terrifying black steel barbs on the whip and hugged his arms tightly in fear, "I won't dare to do it again, I won't dare to do it again..."
At this time, Xiao Yuheng also flew over and followed, "Ayue, don't scare the master."
"Grandmaster?"
Zhou Dian glanced at him with his cloudy eyes and smacked his lips unhappily, "You really are the son of that little bastard Rourou."
"What did you say!"
Shen Yue was so angry that she twisted his ear, but the old man was extremely aggrieved. "She said she would stay by my side forever, but she ran away for over twenty years. What else can she be but a little bastard?"
"How dare you say that!"
Shen Yue knocked him on the back of the head several times. Xiao Yuheng hurriedly stepped forward to take her arm away, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhou Dian respectfully several times.
"I bow to you, Grandmaster. I failed to fulfill my promise to you, Grandmaster. This is a mistake that I will never be able to make up for. I apologize to you on your behalf."
"Hmm~"
Zhou Dian raised his chin and stroked his white beard, "That's more like it."
Then he pointed at Shen Yue and said, "This is your teacher, kowtow to him!"
Xiao Yuheng: "..."
Shen Yue: “…”
"Well, no need."
Shen Yue helped Xiao Yuheng up and brushed the dust off him before asking Zhou Dian:
"The Queen has been looking for you for so many years. Did you not see the notice, or are you pretending to be stupid?"
Zhou Dian looked up at the sky and said nothing.
Then he got punched on the head a few more times.
"Oh, I said it's not okay!"
He covered his head and said truthfully, "That girl said she was terminally ill and wanted to see me for treatment, but I knew in my heart that she was just suffering from a cold poison. I said there was no medicine to cure this cold poison, so even if I went, it would be of no use."
"Then what do you mean by following destiny?"
"Well..."
Zhou Dian bared his gapped teeth, rolled his eyes, and a plan came to his mind.
"You'll know when Master and I return to our residence."
Shen Yue didn't believe it, "Why can't I tell you now?"
"I can't say it, that's all. If Master doesn't believe it, forget it."
As he spoke, Zhou Dian returned to the pile of corpses and carried out another corpse.
"Forget it, Ah Yue. I don't think our master is lying to us. Let's go and take a look."
Xiao Yuheng comforted Shen Yue for a few words and then led the horse over.
The two men rode their horses and slowly followed the donkey cart until the sun set and they arrived at a valley.
Zhou Dian's residence consisted of several small wooden houses, surrounded by water on the left and a large peach orchard on the right. Xiao Yuheng looked at the place and found it increasingly familiar. He couldn't help but ask, "Is this Lingyuan?"
Zhou Dian chuckled: "If that little bastard had brought you back once, you wouldn't have failed to recognize him."
“…”
So this must be Lingyuan.
Xiao Yuheng helped Zhou Dian unload the body from the car, and looked at the large area of peach trees with joy.
"Mother said that the peach trees under Lingyuan grow the most luxuriantly. Mom and Dad met when the peach blossoms were at their peak."
Zhou Dian was still sarcastic, "Those peach trees were burned to death a long time ago. Now these are planted by me and another apprentice. I don't know how many corpses I have to transport every year to make fertilizer for the trees. How can they not flourish?"
Shen Yue sat on a tree branch, staring blankly at the half-eaten peach in her hand. "You said these are peaches that were ripened by corpses?"
"ah."
Zhou Dian blinked a few times and saw half a peach flying towards his forehead.
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Shen Yue leaned against a tree and tried to vomit, but when she couldn't vomit, she grabbed Zhou Dian and punched and kicked him to vent her anger.
Zhou Dian couldn't dodge, so he had to drag Xiao Yuheng over to take the blame.
"Oh, I've checked those bodies. They all died of injuries, not any diseases. Besides, I just placed them in the four directions of the peach forest to improve feng shui. I didn't actually bury them under the trees. The peaches are perfectly edible."
"Okay."
Seeing that it was getting dark, Shen Yue was worried that Xiao Yuheng would have another attack soon, so she hurriedly asked about the cold poison.
"Now, can you tell me what it means to follow destiny?"
"sure."
Zhou Dian said, first jumping a few meters away, then turned back and said to Shen Yue:
"To follow fate means to stop trying to suppress the poison and let it permeate the body until the brat turns into a block of ice."
"...Zhou! Dian!"
These two words burst out from between Shen Yue's teeth.
She was so angry that her eyes turned red. She quickly chased Zhou Dian and grabbed his neck tightly.
"Human lives are at stake. I don't have time to joke with you! If you don't tell the truth, I won't care who your master is or whose grandmaster you are. I will still break your neck!"
"don't want!"
Xiao Yuheng was about to stop them when he suddenly heard a sound of breaking air coming from the peach forest ahead.
Then, a flash of white light appeared—
Several palm-sized ice blades rustled in from the depths of the peach forest, whizzing towards Shen Yue at an incredibly powerful speed.
For a moment, the surrounding atmosphere was freezing cold.
Xiao Yuheng was horrified and quickly formed several ice needles to meet the attack accurately.
The ice needle and the ice blade suddenly collided, exploding a string of ice-blue sparks in the silent night.
Then, they were all nailed to the open space next to Shen Yue.
Shen Yue was a little frightened and subconsciously looked in the direction of the peach forest.
I saw a man in his thirties or forties walking towards me, his white robe fluttering in the wind, and his white hair cascading down like frost and snow, giving off a cool luster in the twilight.
He walked slowly, holding two fat rabbits in his hands and carrying a large bundle of firewood behind him.
After approaching, he was slightly stunned when he looked at Xiao Yuheng's face.
Suddenly he turned his eyes away and looked at Shen Yue.
"Girl, let him go."
Shen Yue was stunned by the man in front of her.
This man was born with a handsome appearance, elegant and distinguished, with eyebrows as sharp as a knife and a face as bright as the moon. His phoenix eyes were as red as flames, but they also revealed a coldness that kept strangers away.
For some reason, Shen Yue felt that his face looked a bit like Xiao Yuheng when he had white hair.
"Who are you?"
The man didn't answer, but Xiao Yuheng recognized him first.
"Senior, it's you."
"...Do you know each other?"
"Yeah." Xiao Yuheng smiled and nodded.
He first rescued Zhou Dian, and then bowed respectfully in front of the man.
"Senior, long time no see."
