Linglong Town (VII)

"Dede, huh?"

The last syllable of Su Xuan's words seemed to hit her heart, and Sang Dai was keenly aware that something was wrong.

She rested her elbow on Su Xuan's chest and stammered, "I, I didn't hide anything from you. I didn't, I just didn't, I didn't lie to you."

Su Xuan could tell at a glance that his little swordsman had upgraded to a first-generation little liar, but the little liar's cheating skills were really poor, and it was easy to tell that she was deceiving him.

"Oh? Really?" Su Xuanmin stepped forward, bit the sword cultivator's ear and gently rubbed it: "You didn't lie to me?"

As Sandy's strength was released, her waist also became limp.

"No, I didn't lie to you."

Sang Dai's nose was against Su Xuan's neck. The swordsman subconsciously tried to be gentle, and rubbed the side of the little fox's neck with his nose.

Su Xuan was extremely happy, his sword cultivator was really a treasure in every way, he spoke cutely, and every move he made was adorable.

"You are lying to me."

"I didn't." Sang Dai would never lie. She didn't dare to look Su Xuan in the eye. She could only curl up in his arms. "I, I, I never lie."

Su Xuan kissed her cheek and said in a low voice, "If you are not lying to me, do you dare to look me in the eye?"

Sandy: “…”

Of course I wouldn’t dare to do that.

After looking at him and hearing what was in his mind, Sandy couldn't help but reveal herself again.

She clung to Su Xuan's shoulders tightly and leaned her face against his neck. No matter how hard Su Xuan pulled her, she refused to come out.

Su Xuan became more and more certain that she was hiding something from him.

The little fox narrowed his eyes and started to think of bad things again.

Sandy curled up like a turtle, lying in his arms without saying a word. Su Xuan didn't dare to use harsh measures against her, so he could only think of other ways.

The little fox's hands that were clasped around her waist began to become dishonest, moving up to her back, with his palms pressed against both sides of her shoulder blades through her coat. His thin lips grasped the soft flesh of Jian Xiu's neck and bit it lightly, then he licked it gently with the tip of his tongue.

Sang Dai snorted softly, and Su Xuan took this opportunity to decisively pull the man out.

The swordsman's eyes were red and watery, as if he had been badly bullied. Su Xuan felt that he was really wronged, as he hadn't even started bullying her yet.

Su Xuan kissed her lips, bit them gently, and coaxed her in a hoarse voice: "Baby, open your mouth."

Sandy wanted to hide, but the little fox became much stronger after being aroused. He pressed her into his arms and pinched her waist, and the swordsman opened his mouth unconsciously.

Su Xuan took advantage of the situation and squeezed in, sweeping across her lips and teeth.

When Sandy kissed him, she closed her eyes subconsciously, not daring to look into Su Xuan's eyes, but the little fox held the back of her head.

He bit Jian Xiu's lower lip and mumbled in the gap: "Don't close your eyes, look at me, Dai Dai."

Sandy was often the most obedient when she was dazed, raising her trembling long eyelashes and looking into his eyes.

His eyes have always been beautiful. The eye colors of the demon clan are all different. The nine-tailed fox clan's eyes are agate-like glass color. The pupils are half-beastial, with a faint stream of light. When these eyes look at her, they will say sweet love words that she dare not listen to.

For example, now Sandy was being kissed by him while he was saying something else in his heart.

[Smells so good…]

[So soft, I kissed Dai Dai. ]

[My Dai Dai, she is so soft and fragrant everywhere. I want to kiss her hard. ]

Sandy's face became redder and redder.

Su Xuan held her face and kissed her, looking into her eyes without blinking.

[Daidai, I am kissing you, you are so soft and smell so good... Can you undress me and kiss me? ]

Sandy immediately withdrew her hand and covered her belt.

Su Xuan's eyes darkened, and he picked her up and put her on the couch while kissing her. He bent down and leaned against her, prying open Sandy's teeth and continued to kiss her.

[I want to undress her and kiss her there through her underwear. ]

Sang Dai was so frightened that she regained consciousness. She stopped trying to get away from Su Xuan and backed away, pulling the thin blanket beside her to cover herself tightly.

The little fox panted, grabbed her ankle and dragged her over, then squeezed in between her legs and deliberately looked into her eyes.

"Baby Dede, I'll just give you a kiss."

[Of course I am lying to you. I want to kiss you everywhere. ]

Sang Dai heard everything and held onto the thin blanket tightly to prevent him from pulling it away: "Su Xuan, I don't want it!"

Su Xuan raised his lips, kissed her lips and bit them lightly, while Liuli's eyes stared straight into hers.

[Dade smells so good, Dede is so soft... baby Dede...]

[I love it so much, her ears are so red, her neck is so soft, and there’s something even better… You can untie it if you act coquettishly, and then just kiss her…]

The young swordsman lying under him suddenly covered his chest tightly with his shirt.

Su Xuan let her go at this time, and wiped away the shine from the corners of her lips and chin with his fingertips. His emotions changed quickly, and he instantly turned from a madman into a normal little fox, as if everything that had just happened was a show.

He was not mistaken. Sandy's first reaction was to cover her chest with her clothes.

"Dade, what are you hiding from me?"

Having deliberately deceived her, her reaction was indeed strange. Su Xuan was very smart and could easily guess when her strange reactions had occurred before.

Although he didn't say anything, Sandy was very excited and her face was blushing as if she was extremely shy.

What are you shy about?

Sang Dai gasped and met Su Xuan's eyes, her heart pounding wildly. For a moment, she thought that all her secrets had been seen through by him. She had no way to hide in front of him and was not pretending at all.

"I... I'm fine. I'm not hiding anything from you..."

Su Xuan raised her eyebrows slightly. There was nothing to hide from him. Why did she really cover her clothes when he was thinking about taking off her clothes just now?

"I, I, I really didn't. I didn't hide anything from you."

Sandy really can't lie at all, but she would stumble when she tells a lie.

Su Xuan picked her up and put her in his arms, patting her back: "Catch your breath for a while before talking, don't sneer at yourself."

She still doesn't know how to kiss, and Su Xuan often gets more and more fierce in kissing. When Sandai becomes more nervous, she even forgets to breathe.

She leaned on his shoulder and breathed obediently. The cool breath fell on his neck, sweeping him like a small brush.

The little fox patted her back to help her calm down, and tilted his head to look at Sandy who was resting her eyes on his shoulder.

He always felt that his recent experiences were like a dream. Sandi was so indifferent to him in the past, as if she would not have any reaction even if Su Xuan died in front of her. After he brought her back from the battlefield, Su Xuan sat on the bed and looked at the pale-faced Sandi. He thought about it for several nights.

Now that she was by his side, how should he treat her?

Should I tell her directly that I like her, or treat her as before?

He finally concluded that he couldn't say he liked it.

Sandy hated him and thought he was full of lies. At this time, she only felt that he was humiliating her, so Su Xuan suppressed his love and talked to her as usual, thinking that when he woke up, he would see Sandy who was as indifferent to him as before.

But that's not the case.

What he saw was a gentle Sandy. She changed from being gentle at first to being tolerant and doting now. He never dared to dream about these changes in the past, but now they happened in just four months.

Something that had not been accomplished in the past hundred years was accomplished in just four months.

It was so strange and so smooth, Sandy's trust in him came so quickly.

Su Xuan kissed her sweaty forehead.

There are always things in this world that are beyond his cognition, just like the man in black is not from the Four Realms, just like Sandy has invisibly changed the destiny set for her by the Heavenly Dao, or maybe...

There are some even more precious things about this precious sweetheart of his.

The little fox lifted Sandy's chin, leaned over and kissed her again.

Sandy closed her eyes and leaned in his arms. The tip of her tongue was numbed by his sucking. Her breathing was disordered and she could only rely on him to help her breathe.

I seemed to hear his voice in confusion.

"Dade, open your eyes."

Sandy raised her eyes slightly, and through her hazy vision she saw him pressing down on her again.

They were doing something intimate, looking into each other's eyes.

A hoarse voice came from Sandy's sea of ​​consciousness.

【Do you like it? 】

She was most dazed at this moment, thinking that it was Su Xuan who was talking, and she sobbed in between kisses.

"……Um."

【Do you like kissing me? 】

"……Um."

【Are you comfortable, baby? 】

"……Um."

Su Xuan curled his lips and chuckled, then turned over and pressed the person down on the quilt and continued kissing him.

He didn't speak.

But she responded.

An incredible conjecture may have an answer.

Tan Huai didn't see Sang Dai and Su Xuan coming down until he finished his meal.

He frowned slightly. Sang Dai clearly said that she would go upstairs and call Su Xuan to come down for dinner, so why was there no movement after such a long time?

Could it be that something happened to Liu Lixue again and she can't get away?

When Tan Huai thought of this, he instantly became anxious. He picked up the Buddhist beads that he had placed on the table and hurried upstairs.

Just as he passed Sang Dai and Su Xuan's room and was about to rush to the house next door where Liu Lixue lived, the tightly closed door behind him opened.

Tan Huai stopped subconsciously and turned around, then saw Su Xuan, dressed in gorgeous black clothes, walking out.

"Demon King?"

Su Xuan's lips were a little red and swollen, the corners of his lips were a little damaged, and there were some red marks on the side of his face that had not disappeared, but they were not obvious, as if they were caused by falling asleep.

Tan Huai was a Buddhist practitioner, so he didn't think about it that way at all. He pointed at Su Xuan's face and lips and said, "What are you doing..."

Su Xuan replied calmly: "Oh, the little wild cat took a bite and scratched me."

Tan Huai: “…Ah?”

Su Xuan glanced at Liu Lixue's room next door and said, "He should be asleep. Let's get down to business in the afternoon and rest in the morning."

Tan Huai: "But isn't Mr. Liu hungry?"

"I have served him the meal, and he has already finished eating and gone to sleep."

"After Miss Sang came up..."

"She was a little tired and fell asleep first."

Tan Huai: "Oh, okay, then the poor monk can go back to his room to rest first and come back after noon."

Su Xuan nodded lightly: "Yes."

He turned around and went into the house and closed the door, leaving Tan Huai facing the door with a look of surprise.

When Su Xuan entered, he saw a person lying in a ditch behind the bed curtains. He knelt on one knee beside the bed and pulled her out from under the quilt.

Sandy immediately noticed the redness and swelling on the side of his cheek, and even a little scratch on the corner of his lip.

She felt a little guilty and reached out to touch his face: "Does it hurt? I'm sorry, I really didn't react just now, I didn't mean it."

The little fox grabbed her hand and kissed it, and replied in a muffled voice: "It hurts."

Sandy felt more guilty and sat up to heal him: "Can I help you get rid of it?"

Su Xuan took advantage of her strength and held her in his arms, pecking her cheek lightly, "Just kiss it and it will be fine."

"Su Xuan, I'm talking about serious matters."

"I'm talking about serious matters."

Sandy lay in his arms, "Just bear the pain, I don't care."

He was shameless just now, and all he had in mind were nonsense. Sandy couldn't listen to all that, so she slapped him in desperation and even bit him.

Su Xuan rubbed her cheek gently.

"Dede."

If Sandy didn't respond, he would become more and more excited and start saying those words in his mind again.

Su Xuan rubbed his chin against her hair, "We are indeed a match made in heaven. You are destined to be my wife."

Sandy muttered, "I haven't agreed yet."

Su Xuan curled his lips and smiled. She knew at a glance that she didn't understand what he was saying. That wasn't what he meant by a perfect match.

But she didn't have to agree, since she couldn't run away anyway.

Since he brought Sandy back to the demon world, he never thought of letting her leave, but Sandy took the initiative to let him stay with her.

The little fox was carrying his wife slowly towards the cave. Once they entered the cave gate, she could no longer move.

"Dade, can you kiss me again?"

Sandy: “?”

The little fox kissed her neck, kissing down along the base of her ears, all the way to her collarbone.

Sandy was kissed all over again, feeling dizzy.

After a long time, Sandy covered her mouth and kicked the little fox in the heart.

The fox covered his chest in a pretentious manner and said, "It hurts. It hurts so much."

Sandel pulled the quilt over her head and said, "Then you will suffer to death. You can get through your estrus period by yourself."

How cruel.

Su Xuan curled his lips and chuckled, then hugged her into his arms along with the blanket, "Don't be angry, Dai Dai. I will be more restrained next time."

Sandy said nothing, as if she was determined to continue the cold war.

The little fox held her in his arms and said nice things to her in a low voice, looking like he was very good at coaxing people.

Worried that Sandy would sweat, Su Xuan still used some force to pull her out. Sure enough, he saw Sandy's cheeks as red as the sunset and sweat on her forehead.

He reached out and wiped it away gently, his smile still bright and his eyes flashing with deep affection.

When Sandy looked at him, she had no intention of rejecting him at all. She couldn't bear to see him being wronged, nor could she bear to see Su Xuan being sad.

In fact, what he said in his heart was right. If he just acted coquettishly, Sandy would agree to everything he asked.

The little fox kissed her lower lip and stared into her eyes without moving.

He didn't say anything and his mind was very quiet, but Sandy always felt that there was something wrong with his eyes.

She asked in a low voice: "What are you looking at?"

Su Xuanchu touched the corner of her eye and gently stroked it, then said with a smile: "Look at Daidai's eyes."

"……ah?"

"Look at these eyes, aren't they a little different?"

Sandy became nervous for no reason and felt that something was out of control. She didn't think he was just saying ordinary love words.

"There's... something different. I've always looked like this."

Sang Dai quickly turned her head away, not daring to look at Su Xuan, and curled up in his arms.

No, it is impossible for him to discover such a ridiculous thing. Even for Sandy herself, after so long, every time she calmed down and thought about the reason, she would find it incredible. Why would such a thing happen?

It's magical and weird.

Su Xuan asked softly, "Daidai, you really haven't hidden anything from me, right?"

All the hairs on Sandy's body were about to stand on end.

“…No.”

Su Xuan said: "The one who lied is the puppy."

Sandy: "... the liar is the puppy."

Su Xuan was silent for a long time, and Sang Dai could hear her own heartbeat faster and faster.

It lasted so long that she could hardly lie still. Her long eyelashes fluttered rapidly and her brain had never worked so fast before. When she tried every possible way to make it go away, the silent fox finally spoke.

"It doesn't matter. Our Dai Dai is the most honest and will never lie. I trust Dai Dai the most."

Sandy: “…”

She felt uneasy.

She felt guilty.

Could he not believe her?

The little fox took off his coat and shoes. Sandy's shoes had just been taken off by him. He lay down and held Sandy in his arms.

"Dade, sleep with me for a while."

Sandy raised her head from his chest and said, "Shouldn't we get down to business? Now that we have found out about Wu Hanshu, we have to ask him, right?"

Su Xuan closed his eyes and held Sang Dai's hand. "Wait until you wake up before going. Wu Hanshu was drunk last night, so I guess he won't get up too early today. I didn't sleep well last night."

Sandy knew he didn't sleep much last night.

She stopped talking and quietly let him hold her, leaning into his arms and closing her eyes.

There is always a kind of magic about Su Xuan. Sandy feels safe whenever she is close to him. After relaxing her guard, she feels sleepy like a flood. It used to be difficult for her to fall asleep, but now with him by her side, she can fall asleep much faster.

Su Xuan was very good at coaxing people to sleep. He patted her back gently, like coaxing a child. Sang Dai felt at ease when she smelled the scent of plants on him. Although it was Su Xuan who was sleepy, she fell asleep earlier than him.

The darling in his arms fell asleep, and the little fox, who had kept his eyes closed, finally opened them.

Sandy was very well behaved when she fell asleep, with one hand hugging his waist and the other hand slightly curled up under her chin, her little face buried in his arms, looking particularly dependent and trusting.

A few months ago, Su Xuan never dreamed that this day would come.

He gently touched Sandy's long eyelashes. Since coming to the demon world, Sandy seemed to often look into his eyes. He could always see all kinds of emotions in her eyes.

Why did she trust him so quickly?

His beloved swordsman had changed a lot after waking up from the great battle. Not only could he see destiny, but he seemed to have something else.

She seemed to know his truest thoughts, the thoughts he never expressed.

It's not completely certain now, but it's almost there. He needs further conclusive evidence and can't be alarmed. He needs to figure out what the pattern is in this matter. After it's completely confirmed, she must reveal her cards.

Su Xuan is not a person with poor acceptance ability. As Tan Huai said, the world is vast and they are just a mayfly. Sang Dai has many special features, so it doesn't matter if she is even more special.

The little fox kissed the tip of her nose, and Sandy wrinkled her nose and moved slightly into his arms.

So good.

Su Xuan laughed muffledly and held Sang Dai in his arms.

***

When the sunlight completely enveloped Linglongzhuang, the last trace of darkness was torn away and replaced.

The well-fed vine twisted its body to rub against the young man who was standing with his hands behind his back.

He looked down at the vine and patted its hard head.

"You're full, but I haven't bought any candy yet, so I can't go back now."

The vine twisted its body, its branches and leaves swayed, and several more flowers bloomed on the vine, leaving only a few flower buds.

"You said...you want to eat Shi Yao?"

Ivy nodded excitedly.

That woman has the four sufferings in her flesh and blood, and it likes it especially!

The man in black raised his eyebrows: "No, that crane will burn you."

The vines drooped their heads, entwining weakly around his legs.

He kicked his legs to shake it off, "Don't be sad, I'll give you some candy."

The vine turned and disappeared into the ground. What kind of sugar can a vine eat?

This person also forced it to drink alcohol, making it drunk for several days!

The candy shop opened its door at this time, and the shopkeeper who had just woken up was frightened by the sight of a ferocious mask.

"You, who are you?"

The young man smiled and said, "I'm here to buy some candy. I want cane sugar. Two spirit stones will be enough."

The shopkeeper patted his chest and whispered, "You may have to wait a while. We just opened."

"Okay."

The shopkeeper turned back to busy himself, thinking that this man was really strange. He had a good build and regular features, but he was wearing a particularly scary mask. He was obviously an adult man, but he spoke in a childish manner.

He raised his eyes to look at the shop door and saw the young man still standing there with his hands behind his back, looking at the things he used to make sugar in his shop, and he seemed particularly curious.

You are already an adult, why are you acting like a child?

The shopkeeper did not dare to look any further. He lowered his head and told his apprentice to get busy making sugar. The sweet smell soon wafted over from the kitchen.

As more and more people came to the street, he finally bought the candy he had been longing for.

He was walking back while eating a bag of candies. Many people looked at him along the way. He didn't think there was anything strange about his outfit. He smiled at everyone with a good temper.

Walking to a deserted place, he put the oil paper containing the candy into his Qiankun bag. A crack appeared in the void, and he stepped into the crack. In the blink of an eye, he appeared a hundred miles away from Linglong Town.

It rained last night, the soil was still wet, and the cave was hidden in the mountains.

The peregrine falcon was perched on a branch outside the cave, and when it saw him come back, it began to make sarcastic remarks again.

"If you don't come back, I won't be able to stop him."

The young man in black raised his eyebrows: "Is Ying Heng awake?"

"I woke up a long time ago."

He nodded and walked into the cave.

The cave was very deep, and it became increasingly eerie as he went deeper, but he couldn't feel any temperature, so he didn't care.

I walked all the way to the deepest point, and as soon as I got in, a tree branch touched my neck.

The shoulder of the branch was flattened, just right against his throat. An inch forward would have pierced the vitals of an ordinary monk, but he was different.

"Who are you?"

The sound was very light, without a trace of ripples.

The young man in black muttered, "You can't hear me."

Sure enough, Ying Heng did not respond at all.

He was still wearing the same plain white clothes, his black hair was hastily tied up with a headband. His memory still stayed at more than a hundred years ago. He just felt like he had slept for a while, and when he woke up he found himself in a different world.

Everything was dark before his eyes. He couldn't hear or see anything, not even his own voice.

All five senses were lost, his spiritual roots were gone, and he couldn't even use his spiritual power. The sword moves he just performed were still based on muscle memory.

"Did you...did you speak?"

Ying Heng could feel the branch against the man's neck, but he couldn't hear anything now and didn't know whether the man responded or not.

The young man in black looked away lazily, his figure disappeared from the spot, and appeared somewhere else in an instant.

Ying Heng looked back, his eyes were empty.

"Who are you?"

The young man in black found a place to sit down, took out a piece of sugarcane candy, crushed it and started chewing it.

He said calmly, "You can't hear me at all. You're wasting my time."

Ying Heng was a good-tempered man. When he didn't get a response, he kept silent for a moment, thinking carefully with his brain which was not very clear after just waking up. Finally, he came to the conclusion in silence that this person didn't seem to want to harm him, but he didn't seem to want to save him either.

It's very cold here, so cold that Ying Heng's mortal body can't bear it.

He retracted the branch, nodded slightly and said, "I'm sorry, I... I don't remember a lot of things. Did something happen to me? Can you save me?"

There was no response.

Ying Heng continued, "My hearing is not good now, but my consciousness can still hear sounds. You can transmit the sound to me."

The young man in black looked at him, swallowed the chewed candy, sneered, and used his spiritual power to transmit a message to Ying Heng.

"I saved him."

A voice came from Ying Heng's sea of ​​consciousness, cold and emotionless.

But he heard no murderous intent.

"Why... did you save me?"

"One person entrusted it."

"……who?"

"I don't want to say."

He was unwilling to say it, and Ying Heng did not force it.

Ying Heng fumbled and sat down on a stone nearby, sitting straight and calmly, and asked again: "Daoyou, can I...can I trouble you with something?"

"...If I say no, you won't bother me anymore?"

"I really need your help. If I have anything valuable on me, you can take it all."

This time, Ying Heng heard a sneer, cold and emotionless.

He was a little puzzled. It seemed that this person really didn't want to save him, perhaps because he felt it was troublesome. Then why did he want to save him? Who commissioned this person?

The conscious ocean once again responded: "You speak first."

Ying Heng reacted and realized that he had agreed.

He smiled and said gently: "Can you help me find someone?"

"Who are you looking for?"

"My apprentice, Sandy."

The young man in black paused for a moment, remained silent for a long time, then took out a candy, chewed it, and said vaguely: "What do you want to do with her?"

Ying Heng said: "I want to go back and celebrate her tenth birthday."

“…”

"Daoyou? Are you still there?"

"Tenth birthday?"

"right."

Ying Heng slept for too long and his brain was a little slow to react. He vaguely remembered that his disciple seemed to be celebrating his birthday.

But he himself didn't know why he appeared here and why he became like this.

Ying Heng frowned slightly and heard a sneer in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"You've been sleeping for over a hundred years. You wouldn't really be stupid, would you? I didn't really save a fool. I haven't done my own thing yet. Don't let me work in vain."

What does it mean?

Ying Heng was a little confused. What did more than a hundred years mean?

He was speechless, and some broken memories flashed through his mind, causing him to feel heartbroken.

Ying Heng covered his head and gritted his teeth to hold back the pain, helplessly watching the fragments of memory flashing through his sea of ​​consciousness.

He saw broken limbs and arms, heard desperate screams, and in the heavy rain, a man stood in the rain like a devil, his body covered in blood.

Someone on the ground was pulling at his white clothes, and shouting in a broken voice: "Immortal Lord Ying Heng... help me..."

The scene changed again, and he saw a childish little face kneeling in the rain begging him.

She shouted, "Master, don't go, don't leave Dai Dai behind!"

Ying Heng wanted to help her up. He didn't understand how he could possibly abandon Sandy. Why was she kneeling?

But in the scene he saw, he left without looking back, leaving the seriously injured Sandy lying in the rain crying.

The rain fell on her, and the disciple he had always treated as his own daughter was covered in wounds. She cried out and crawled to chase him.

And then...

Then, thousands of people surrounded him.

"The traitor Ying Heng destroyed the Guixu spiritual vein, massacred people at the Cangwu Taoist temple, and committed many evil deeds. The Immortal Alliance has issued a hunt and kill order!"

"Kill Ying Heng, he must die!"

"Kill him! Kill him! Kill the traitor!"

then……

The memory stops abruptly.

Ying Heng had a dazed look on his face, his eyes were empty and lifeless, he could not hear or see, had no sense of taste or smell, and had no sense of touch.

He couldn't recall many memories, as if he had been in a daze for a long time.

But there was only one face that stood out clearly in his memory.

On the day when Sande established her sword heart, he hung the Zhiyu sword tassel on the hilt, and the little girl held the Zhiyu sword and bowed to him.

"Master, I will practice diligently and protect the peace of all directions."

He touched her hair.

"I will pass on all I have learned in my life to you, Dai Dai. You will become the most powerful swordsman in the four realms."

But why would he leave her, who was seriously injured, in the rain? Sandy was so young and hadn't grown up yet. How could he abandon her at this time?

She fell to the ground with injuries all over her body, crawling in the rain to chase him, crying and begging him not to leave, so why did he leave?

Ying Heng stood up blankly.

"Dede...Dede..."

He had to go find her and apologize to his disciple.

It was his master who was wrong.
