Chapter 1114 Choosing Master Zhang
The woman laughed. "Han Qingfeng, what are you afraid of? By the way, I heard you have a son. Could it be him? And who is he to you?"
"..." Lord Zhao's pupils were almost bursting. Is this guy crazy?!
If it weren't for the fact that she had some skill, he would have really wanted to yell, "I'm your father!"
Master Han was stunned for a moment, then, quite unkindly, burst out laughing in front of them.
"..."
"..."
Lord Zhao laughed through gritted teeth, while the woman before him looked bewildered.
"This senior, like your master, took over the responsibility of protecting the local area after ascending to immortality. Later, she met some destined disciples and took them under her wing. You can call her Third Madam," Master Han explained to Lord Zhao with a smile.
Then, he said to the woman in front of him, "This is my senior brother's eldest disciple. He is only forty years old this year and has just given birth to a child. My son is over five hundred years old."
"..." Raw melon egg was both amused and exasperated, looking at Master Han with a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
He then bowed respectfully to the woman who looked as young as his daughter, saying, "Greetings, Third Madam."
The woman was dressed in a red and pink silk robe and draped in a long turquoise brocade, looking ethereal and kind.
When she looked puzzled, the slight dissatisfaction that had just arisen in Lord Zhao's heart vanished.
“Oh dear, he’s only in his forties, that’s really young. Even my youngest disciple is a little older than him.” She couldn’t help but say with concern, “He embarked on the path of cultivation at such a young age, it must have been difficult for him when he was young.”
"I wanted to ask you about Lan Jin. Is that convenient for you?"
Master Han nodded, "Of course it's convenient."
Lord Zhao cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Then I'll go and get back to work."
As the woman watched Lord Zhao's retreating figure, she couldn't help but speak up, "He's a member of the royal family, isn't he? Didn't you used to hate members of the royal family the most?"
Master Han smiled faintly, "Everything changes. What does Junior Sister White Cat want to ask?"
"Let's talk in private."
...
Song Chunxue had slept for less than two hours when she was suddenly awakened by a violent jolt.
When she opened her eyes, she realized that she was lying on the back of a stubborn donkey, which was running.
His running posture was strange; it was like a normal person's brisk walking, except he was walking briskly on all four legs.
It is said that running this way saves more energy.
What happened?
The stubborn donkey suddenly stopped, and the sudden stop threw Song Chunxue off.
"Bang!"
Song Chunxue lay on the ground and brushed away the thick fog, revealing the rugged mountains and rivers below. She was so frightened that she quickly turned around.
It turned out that they had left the places with mud and sand.
They returned to the clouds.
She saw Master Zhang running towards her from behind.
"How did you fall down? Run!"
"Why are we running?" Song Chunxue stood up. "Are we being chased by someone?"
Before she could finish speaking, Song Chunxue saw a group of large creatures moving rapidly in the distance, like small mountains, with slight tremors under their feet, indicating that they were being chased by a group of big guys.
“Run! Run into the valley ahead!” Zhang Chengxuan said breathlessly. “I forgot what Master told me: if we run in these places, we’ll easily leave shadows in the sky, and our every move will be seen.”
"Huh?" Song Chunxue was astonished. "So, the shadows I saw before that looked like people, or those shadows traveling by boat or carriage, actually existed?"
"Yes." Zhang Chengxuan took off running ahead, holding a white whisk in his hand. "I can run faster on the back of this stubborn donkey. I'll go first."
Without further ado, Song Chunxue immediately climbed back onto the stubborn donkey's back and ran straight into the thick clouds ahead.
Beyond the clouds lies a wide valley.
There was soil, trees, and the scent of damp flowers underfoot.
The stubborn donkey stopped, shook its back, and Song Chunxue, unable to hold onto the smooth fur, fell off its back.
"Why didn't we run away? Now that we're here, we don't have to be afraid of them anymore, right?"
Zhang Chengxuan drew his sword, his breathing slightly unsteady.
“It’s not that I’m not afraid anymore, it’s that I don’t have to worry about being scolded or punished,” he said, swallowing hard as he watched the strange-looking creature getting closer. “Let’s see if this stubborn donkey can scare them away.”
"Then what are we waiting for? Run!" Song Chunxue cursed as she ran. "If we dare to stop without being sure of our chances, aren't we afraid of being trampled underfoot? Wouldn't that mean we came all this way for nothing?"
"It's not a wasted trip; you can't usually be trampled to death." Despite saying that, Zhang Chengxuan still ran after Song Chunxue.
Song Chunxue was both amused and exasperated, and could only run forward as fast as she could.
But as they ran, they could no longer hear the sound of horses' hooves.
Looking back, they saw that it was the stubborn donkey that had stopped them.
"I was right, the stubborn donkey has nothing to fear from them," Zhang Chengxuan muttered, looking at the several enormous creatures that resembled neither turtles nor elephants. "If I could choose one of these mounts to take back, that would be nice."
"Where do you keep it?"
“A storage ring,” Zhang Chengxuan said calmly, “Thanks to you, I’m not short of money now. I can buy a storage ring with a lot of space, the kind with mountains and water inside.”
Song Chunxue exclaimed, "Then wouldn't I be at a loss? Qilin is so great! If I had spent money to buy a storage ring like that earlier, I could have raised him!"
Zhang Chengxuan didn't look at her. "Master said that what is not yours will never be yours. If you give it away, you will receive a greater opportunity."
Alright, let's believe what Master Zhang says for now.
The stubborn donkey stopped, and so did the giant beasts that were as big as small mountains.
They were in a standoff, and the stubborn donkey was snorting at them and pawing the ground with its front hooves, trying to make them back down.
But they wouldn't take the little stubborn donkey seriously.
"Stubborn donkey, why don't we come back..."
The next moment, the chestnut horse suddenly grew taller, and its entire body transformed into a completely different form.
"I didn't see wrong, did I, Senior Brother? That stubborn mule has turned into..."
"It has turned into a dragon, a black dragon." Zhang Chengxuan looked up at the figure circling in the sky and couldn't help but smile. "It seems that this time, I lost. Senior Brother made the right bet."
Song Chunxue was stunned and sat upright on the ground. "Wasn't he a horse? How could he transform into a dragon?"
Moreover, they even chose her as their master?
Is this reasonable?
"Senior brother, run!"
As soon as Song Chunxue turned her head, she saw that the four giant beasts of different sizes had already arrived in front of them.
“Wait, don’t run away.” Wuyou popped up. “They don’t mean any harm. In my opinion, they’re after Master Zhang. Why don’t you go over and ask them, have a talk with them?”
Even someone as bold as Zhang Chengxuan chickened out at this moment.
"I think we should forget about it; your words may not be reliable."
Wuyou snorted in dissatisfaction, "Who do you think you are? I am the Wuyou Sword. Is our long-standing friendship fake? Daoist Zhang, this sword immortal will be sad."
Zhang Chengxuan watched the giant beast slowly back away, "I'm afraid of being trampled to death."
"Hey, stop right there. You might trample this Taoist priest to death." Wuyou floated in front of them. "Tell me honestly, did you choose this Taoist priest? If so, nod."
