Chapter 847 This matter is too mysterious
"Da da da~"
Suddenly, a sound came from the sturdy iron cage.
The Qilin beast inside tapped the iron cage with its front hooves, its large, wet eyes staring at Song Chunxue.
"What's wrong with this?" Master Han pointed at it with disdain. "Didn't you refuse to let anyone near you? What's with that expression now? Take that deadpan look back on me!"
He sensed it; this old beast was actually trying to make amends with Song Chunxue!
His uncle's legs—it was clearly him who defeated this beast and locked him up here!
Why would it inexplicably become friendly with someone who drove it crazy and made it lose its mind?
The old saying is true: some things just love to act foolishly and are incredibly stupid. They'd rather suffer than live a peaceful and stable life.
This is absolutely incomprehensible!
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The Qilin beast even showed a contemptuous and provocative expression to Master Han, then looked at Song Chunxue with a sly grin, and lowered its proud head, indicating that she should touch it.
Lord Zhao gasped for breath, unable to bear the sight.
It's his fault for having eyes and seeing its unprincipled nature.
He looked at Master Han with sympathy, "It seems like the ferocious beast in your house is about to climb over the wall. You didn't even need to grab a shovel or dig at the corner."
"..." Song Chunxue awkwardly stood on tiptoe, looking down as if she was very busy, her scalp tingling with tension.
“Well, let’s go. This beast doesn’t seem very smart,” Song Chunxue quickly responded. “Let’s keep going.”
Master Han was even angrier. He hadn't felt this way in many years, with his breath churning and his internal organs burning, because of such a small matter.
He burst out laughing, "What? Such a powerful beast is offered to you as a mount, and you're unwilling?"
"ah?"
Why shouldn't you want it?
Master Han gritted his teeth. "This shameful thing, you still want me to keep raising it? Do you know how much it eats at each meal? How much silver does it squander on me every year?"
"I..." Song Chunxue looked at the Qilin beast in disbelief, "Why did it choose to be my mount? Was it poisoned?"
Wuyou said arrogantly from the side, "Because I'm amazing. I shaved my beard and tamed it. You got off easy."
What he didn't say was that this little beast hadn't seen a female Taoist for many years and thought Song Chunxue was very pretty, so he was willing to be her mount.
Haha, you stupid thing, all that size for nothing!
Master Han flicked his sleeve and said, "Fine, go ahead and do as you please. I'll wait for you up ahead."
Lord Zhao sighed helplessly, "Junior brother, just take it as your mount. The chances of a blind cat catching a dead mouse are slim."
"..." Song Chunxue couldn't describe her feelings at that moment, "But I can't afford to raise them."
Where is she going to put such a big mount? Taking it out would cause a huge uproar.
She doesn't want to.
“I’ll raise it for you, or I can send it to Master’s territory and let you raise it,” Lord Zhao said matter-of-factly.
"Good heavens, Senior Brother, you dare to say such a thing? I wouldn't even dare to think that way. Since you have a way to send it away, then give it to Master, how about that?"
Lord Zhao shook his head, "It chose you, so I can't give it to you. Besides, my master has two unparalleled mounts."
"Knock knock knock~"
The Qilin suddenly pawed the ground with its front hooves, lowered its head and lay down, then looked up at Song Chunxue.
Now, their eyes are level.
Lord Zhao didn't know whether he should be envious or happy for his junior brother.
My heart felt like it had been turned upside down, a mix of emotions I can't describe.
Song Chunxue walked over, and just as she raised her hand to grasp the iron railing, she saw the Qilin beast stick out its tongue and touch her right hand.
Suddenly, a lifelike peach blossom sprouted from the peach branch on her wrist, its beauty dazzling.
At this moment, Song Chunxue felt that it would be better to just ignore her as before.
Now, with what others have given her, she has won the loyalty of a silly Qilin beast?
It's so upsetting to think about it.
Lord Zhao saw through her thoughts.
“This is something you earned through your own abilities. The Qilin beast is very intelligent. No matter how powerful the rare and precious materials you have, if it doesn’t like you, it can’t make it submit,” he said, looking in the direction where Master Han had left. “He is the best example of that.”
Song Chunxue looked at him gratefully.
"Zhao Jin, Song Chunxue, come here right now."
When they heard Master Han's voice, they quickly followed the winding tunnel forward.
They passed through a door with a tear in it and came to a pavilion in the mountains surrounded by lush greenery.
Song Chunxue watched Master Han's retreating figure, her heart filled with fear and trepidation.
Master Han had regained his composure, put his hands behind his back, and turned around to look at Song Chunxue thoughtfully.
“Since that beast was not obedient to me and you have subdued it, it can be considered that you have made the best use of it. But I can’t give it to you for free. I haven’t done such a losing deal in all these years.”
Song Chunxue nodded emphatically, "I won't take your things for nothing. What I have in my hands..."
"What do you mean, 'you'? You think I'm too old?"
Song Chunxue felt like crying but helpless, her mind blank and struggling.
She quickly changed her tune, "If Master Han has anything he likes, please take it as soon as possible. That compass, and the things in my storage ring..."
“You can’t take the compass; you’ll lose out,” Master Han said calmly. “Give me five of your box of short swords and daggers.”
Song Chunxue didn't understand, but she realized that he liked the compass, otherwise he wouldn't have borrowed it to play with.
"No matter how valuable that compass is, it's useless to me. I'll give it to you as well," Song Chunxue said, raising her left hand to take the sword.
Master Han sighed helplessly; this man was completely blind, unaware that those things were all very valuable.
"No rush. I don't want that compass. I'll keep it for now and use it myself."
Master Han pointed to the mountain peaks not far away. The strange peaks and rocks were covered with green vegetation. The air was very thick, even a bit stuffy and hot. If you stood there for a long time, your back would sweat.
"Let's not talk about that now. Let's go soak in the hot springs over there and pick some wild fruits to take back and eat. There's no need to look at the rest. If you manage to take them all away, I can't handle it."
He looked at Lord Zhao and Song Chunxue with gentle eyes.
“From now on, you fellow disciples are my friends, so please don’t stand on ceremony. Winters in the capital are really unbearable, so why don’t we stay here for a while and warm ourselves up before going back?”
Or, he gracefully floated towards the opposite mountain.
Song Chunxue looked at Lord Zhao, who smiled faintly, "Let's go, he's not actually angry."
"Hmm." That's good, Song Chunxue felt much better.
Today's events are a bit too unpredictable.
"What are you afraid of? I think you're just as cowardly as that Qilin beast," Wuyou said.
"It's better to be a coward than to be arrogant and humiliating."
"That's true, we are born humble, polite, and elegant."
"..." She raised her hand to her forehead, feeling that she hadn't lived enough, hadn't seen enough, and couldn't keep up with the pace of things.
