Chapter 245 Jade Cauldron Immortal
"To become an apprentice and learn skills?"
The three mountain lords looked at each other in bewilderment. Fox Five, observing Little Five's expression, asked, "With you here, is there any need to become a disciple?"
"Nonsense! They're human, I'm a tiger, how can they be compared?"
Xiao Wu bristled, finding the three spirits utterly displeasing. "Forget it, they're useless anyway, let's just get rid of them."
Yang Jian and Yang Chan nodded, picked up Xiao Wu, and turned to leave.
"No, no!" The three of them scrambled to their feet. Fox Five reacted the fastest, pulling Fox Sister along as they followed. Mountain Lord wasn't stupid either; he was a White Tiger, after all. Having even a nominal ancestor would be enough for him to act arrogantly, so he naturally followed closely behind.
"Although we don't know, we can help find out."
“Yes, yes.” Mountain Lord and Fox Girl nodded.
"Brother Wu, look, we certainly can't let you lower yourself to search for them. But these two are young, and they're easily scammed if they go out. It'll be different if we take them with us."
“Yes, yes.” Mountain Lord and Fox Girl continued to nod.
"We've been wandering around for many years, so we're very experienced. We're definitely experts at gathering information."
"Yes, yes," Mountain Lord and Fox Girl nodded repeatedly.
"stop!"
Yang Jian was speechless. "I think I've figured it out. Of the three of you, only you know how to come up with ideas, and the other two just nod in agreement, right? Why don't we just take him along?"
"Yes...no, no, no, that's not it..."
Almost blurting out "yes" again, Shan Jun quickly waved his hand in refusal, "We're together, how can we be separated... Five...Fox Five, you tell me!"
Receiving the mountain lord's gaze, Fox Five's eyes flickered slightly, and he pulled Fox Sister to his side: "Fox Sister and I will definitely be together."
"Five G...Fox Five—" Fox Girl said shyly.
The mountain king stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "Five Foxes! I used to value you so much!"
"You said it was all in the past..." Fox Five led Fox Sister back towards Yang Jian, but noticing Yang Chan's slightly furrowed brows, his tone changed instantly, "Past feelings are still feelings, so why don't we bring all of us along? We've always been there to serve tea and water and do everything for you, and besides, more people means we can gather information faster."
"Yes...that's right."
Just as Shan Jun was about to nod in satisfaction, he suddenly remembered what Yang Jian had just said and immediately changed his words, though the meaning was not different.
After the three men tried their best to please them, Yang Jian and Yang Chan finally agreed to let them follow.
As for Xiao Wu, he was currently lost in thought, having a remote conversation with Yang Jiao in his sea of consciousness, strongly requesting a name change—
"Xiao Wu can be a nickname, but it can't be my real name when I'm out in the world! Don't I have any dignity?"
[Sixth-ranking second +1 (Fifth-ranking can disregard face. But for the sake of the master's face, I can change the name)]
Received, reviewed, will discuss later.
"Xiao Wu, what's wrong?"
Yang Chan looked at Xiao Wu, who had suddenly become agitated in her arms, and asked with concern.
"It's okay, let's go first." Could he admit that he was annoyed by that green tea bitch Xiao Liu? Damn it, what on earth has that little brat been spying on all day? She's evolved way too fast!
As the sun set and night fell, the group entered the bustling market.
"Generally speaking, the more people there are, the better the information gets..."
Fox Five was speaking eloquently, explaining why he had come to this place.
Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the market. A Taoist priest in a green robe was running ahead with a roast chicken in his hand, while vendors with knives were chasing after him. They weaved through the stalls, causing chaos and making a mess.
Yang Jian didn't pay any attention, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of suspicion: "Is it reliable? Can those truly skilled masters who can teach magic obtain information in a market like this? I've never heard of that before?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a Taoist priest in a green robe rushed over in a panic, stumbling and bumping into Yang Jian.
"Second Brother!"
Yang Chan was startled, and Shan Jun and Hu Wu, who were following behind her, wanted to step forward to help.
The Taoist priest looked terrified, as if he knew he had nowhere to retreat, and shouted, "I know, I know where there is a great teacher! Do me a favor and I'll tell you!"
Yang Jian looked at the clothes that the Taoist had grabbed by the hand and stained with oil, and the veins on his forehead throbbed. This was the same style as his older brother's!
Whether sensing his murderous intent or not, the Taoist priest slipped behind him and shouted at the approaching merchants, "If I have made a mistake, let my disciples compensate me!"
"you!"
Yang Jian was furious, but the surrounding vendors clearly mistook them for a group, their faces full of anger, and they were about to come up and argue with him aggressively.
Go and send the vendors away.
The kind that wins people over with virtue.
Xiao Wu flicked its tail and transmitted its voice to the three foxes.
The three men, initially furious, grabbed their weapons and headed for the door. But upon hearing the next sentence, they paused. Fox Five, looking pained, pulled out his meager silver from his pocket. Their expressions instantly changed; they plastered their faces with fawning smiles, bowing repeatedly to the merchant and offering words of appeasement. It took considerable effort to finally quell the trouble.
Seeing this, the Taoist in the green robe tried to sneak away, but Yang Jian grabbed him by the collar: "Where are you going? Didn't you say you knew?"
A group of people immediately surrounded the Taoist in the green robe. The Mountain Lord even raised his muscular arm and threatened menacingly, "You'd better tell us right now, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
"If you can't answer, you'll have to pay us back!" Fox Sister threatened. Fox Five nodded hurriedly; that was all his savings. "That's right, pay us back!"
"And my clothes!" Yang Jian looked down at the oil stains on his clothes and gritted his teeth as he added more.
The Taoist in the green robe seemed timid and dodging, but his eyes darted around as he sized up the group of people, finding it amusing and feeling that his headlong collision was worthwhile.
Three rudimentary demons, a boy who hasn't fully integrated the power of his Heavenly Eye, a girl holding a white tiger... wait, the white tiger...
The green-robed Taoist's gaze met Xiao Wu's. Under his leisurely gaze, which clearly conveyed "So this is the kind of person you are," Master Yu Ding felt utterly humiliated!
He's not usually like this, really!
Do you even know?
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Fox Five urged him on and shoved him.
Master Yuding coughed twice to cover his mouth: "Of course it's true... There is a Master Yuding in the Golden Cloud Cave of Jade Spring Mountain. He is a rare master in the Three Realms. If you can become his disciples, you will surely achieve great things in the future!"
"Really?"
Yang Jian looked at him with a suspicious expression.
Under Xiao Wu's mocking gaze, Master Yu Ding replied earnestly, "Of course it's true, I never lie. But..."
"But what?"
Master Yuding's eyes darted around, and he said seriously, "If you wish to become Master Yuding's disciple, you must walk from here to Jade Spring Mountain, a thousand miles away. You cannot ride on clouds, nor can you ride horses or sit in sedan chairs, and you cannot have the help of any other divine beasts. I will test your sincerity and your perseverance..."
Seeing that the others were clearly deep in thought, Master Yuding took a slight step back: "In short, I've said what I needed to say, I'll take my leave now!"
Having said that, his figure vanished from their sight in an instant.
"Oh dear, our money..."
Fox Five pulled back Fox Sister, who still wanted money, "What money do you need? Didn't you realize we'd met a real master? They disappeared in a flash. Would a master be short of money? They gave us pointers and left, right?"
After speaking, Fox Five looked at Yang Jian and his sister with a smile. The two looked at each other thoughtfully.
The Jade Cauldron Immortal, who had run hundreds of miles away, finally stopped and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they couldn't catch up: "Thank goodness, thank goodness, this humble Taoist has no money to compensate..."
