When Hua Shi was taken downstairs by Xuan Shuzhi, his face was still a little confused.
He believed that he had never shown any extraordinary qualities in front of others, but for some reason strange things always surrounded him. First, yesterday four peerless masters were vying to take him as their apprentice. Now that he had finally calmed down and was ready to leave this dangerous place and go to the sect, he was told that the Lord of the Spiritual Path and the Lord of the Wind and Rain Palace had come to see him off.
He walked behind Xuan Shuzhi, moving his feet and looking forward, and couldn't help wondering in his heart, why are the Lord of the Spiritual Path and the Lord of the Wind and Rain Palace so idle? Could it be that he didn't agree to become their apprentice yesterday, so they were angry and embarrassed, and came to teach him a lesson?
Hua Shi couldn't help but let his mind run wild. The more he thought, the more confused his mind became. In just a short while, they had arrived at the lobby of the restaurant, and Ji Yuan and Lu Yao were already waiting there.
Hua Shi: “…”
Anyone who is stared at intently by two powerful individuals would feel a little panic, and Hua Shi is no exception. He inexplicably endured the gazes of these two people and really didn't know what he had done wrong in the past two days and why these two people looked at him with such complicated eyes.
Luckily, his master spoke first in the silence: "You two came here so early in the morning just to scare my little disciple with your eyes?"
Hua Shi suddenly woke up and remembered that he had someone to back him up, so he quickly shrank behind Xuan Shuzhi.
Now Ji Yuan and Lu Yao looked at Xuan Shuzhi who was standing in front of Hua Shi, and their faces suddenly became even weirder.
Xuan Shuzhi felt the changes in their expressions and couldn't help but touch his face: "What's wrong? Why are you staring at me again?"
Ji Yuan and Lu Yao retracted their gazes almost at the same time. After coughing lightly, Ji Yuan said in a low voice: "I have a good relationship with this young master of the Hua family..."
When Lu Yao heard this, he couldn't finish the wine he was drinking from the wine gourd. He bent over and choked. He looked up and sneered, "Get along? That's not what you said yesterday."
Ji Yuan's expression remained unchanged, not disturbed by Lu Yao at all. He looked up at him calmly and continued, "I originally wanted to accept him as my disciple, but since he is unwilling to practice with me and chose your Xuanling Pavilion, I have nothing to say."
Xuan Shuzhi raised his eyebrows: "After hearing the first half of your sentence, I thought you were determined to snatch my apprentice from me."
Ji Yuan didn't say anything, still looking at Hua Shi with a serious expression.
Xuan Shuzhi became a little more alert, and the man stepped back to protect himself: "You don't really want to rob again, do you?"
Ji Yuan's eyes were gloomy, and before he could speak, Lu Yao beside him could not help but said, "You really don't want to follow me to practice in Fengyu Palace? I will teach you everything I have learned in my life, but you must know that you..."
Before Lu Yao could finish his offer, Hua Shi immediately shook his head and said, "I have already decided to go to Xuanling Pavilion."
Hua Shi had made up his mind long ago, and certainly would not change his mind at this time just because of a few words from Lu Yao or Ji Yuan. Not to mention that one of these two people was his considered enemy, and the other was his self-proclaimed rival in love. Even if there was no such relationship, he would not become their apprentice.
The Wind and Rain Palace was an evil sect. Although Hua Shi had no prejudice against evil sects, he still felt that they did not look like a legitimate sect. To become a disciple of the master of the Spiritual Path...
Hua Shi felt that this must be a high-risk job, and it would be better for him not to try it until he was old enough.
Hua Shi rejected Lu Yao again. Seeing that Hua Shi had made up his mind, Ji Yuan said no more. He just stared at Lu Yao with an unpleasant expression, as if he was not talking about accepting Hua Shi as a disciple, but was plotting to overthrow Ling Dao.
Lu Yao felt Ji Yuan's gaze, looked back at Fang Dao and said, "What's that look from the Lord of the Spiritual Dao?"
He sneered and said, "Since I saw you here before, I couldn't help but feel curious. Yesterday you said that you just didn't want me to accept Hua Shi as my disciple, so you took the initiative to offer to accept him. But why are you here today? Hua Shi has already planned to join Xuanling Pavilion. Since he is not my intention, you should be satisfied. Why are you here to snatch him today?"
Ji Yuan frowned, but he didn't lose a bit of momentum to Lu Yao's aggressiveness: "What's wrong with you? Your Fengyu Palace has never accepted spiritual disciples before, but you suddenly want to accept disciples this time. Is it really just because of a spur of the moment?"
Lu Yao and Ji Yuan were confronting each other, neither of them was willing to give in. Hua Shi was watching in confusion from the side, hoping that if these two people started fighting, they would not fight in this restaurant and would not hurt innocent people. It would be best if they fought outside. It didn't matter where they attacked, as long as both of them were injured.
Xuan Shuzhi looked at this one, then at that one, his gaze lingered on Hua Shi for a long while, and finally withdrew his gaze thoughtfully, smiling and trying to smooth things over: "Well, aren't you two here to see you off, or should I call some people to watch your fight and then open a betting table and place some bets?"
Ji Yuan suddenly turned around and shouted in a bad tone: "Xuan Shuzhi!"
"It's been a long time since I saw the Spirit Master get angry." Xuan Shuzhi endured Ji Yuan's anger with a smile.
Lu Yao ignored the two of them, suddenly took out the square jade pendant from his body and handed it to Hua Shi.
Hua Shi looked at it warily and did not take it immediately. Lu Yao was tired of raising his hands, so he simply threw it to him.
Hua Shi took the jade pendant instinctively, thinking to himself that he took it because he was afraid that the valuable thing would be broken. He took the thing and took a look at it, and then he found that in addition to the pattern, there was another word engraved on the jade pendant.
That is the word "wine".
Hua Shi had a strange look on his face. He really found it hard to understand how much this man loved drinking.
Lu Yao said, "This is the token of Fengyu Winery. There are Fengyu Winery in many towns in Xuanqing Continent. As long as you have this token, you can drink freely without paying at any Fengyu Winery in any town."
Hua Shi: “…”
He wanted to explain that he was not an alcoholic and did not need a lifetime senior membership in the winery. However, before he could open his mouth, Lu Yao quickly said, "Of course, I gave you this sign to tell you that the people in Fengyu Winery are all from Fengyu Palace, or they used to be from Fengyu Palace. Although they are no longer under my control, you have this token. If you need any help, go to them and they will definitely help you."
It sounds like this brand does have some effect.
Hua Shi paused for a moment as he was about to return the jade pendant, but in just this moment, Lu Yao had already turned and left, without giving him another chance to return the jade pendant.
Hua Shi was about to call him to stop, but Xuan Shuzhi patted his shoulder, smiled and shook his head, saying, "Keep this thing. It may be useful in the future. Besides, that guy is a man of his word. Since he has given you something, he will never take it back."
After hearing Xuan Shuzhi's words, Hua Shi finally put the jade pendant away.
At this time, Ji Yuan also came to Hua Shi.
Hua Shi met Ji Yuan's gaze, feeling a little breathless under the pressure of the Spirit Master's majesty, but soon Xuan Shuzhi stepped forward and said, "Spirit Master, is there anything else? If not, we have to go back first. The distance from Tianqing City to Xuanling Pavilion is not short, so we have to hurry up to get there."
He paused at this point and chuckled, "But if the Spirit Master also wants to give you a parting gift, we still have time to stay a little longer."
Upon hearing this, Hua Shi looked at Xuan Shuzhi in shock. He originally thought that he was slippery enough, but he didn't expect that this adopted master was even worse than him and could actually say such words with a clear conscience.
What he didn't expect was that the unjustly taken spiritual master in front of him actually found something from his body and handed it to Hua Shi: "This is for you."
Hua Shi stared blankly at the talisman paper in his hand that looked nothing special. The first thing that came to his mind was, there actually is a gift?!
But what is this?
Hua Shi was completely confused, but luckily Xuan Shuzhi had been staring at him. He recognized the thing immediately after taking a look and said in surprise, "The Myriad Worlds Talisman? You're willing to give him this thing? Aren't you afraid that he'll use it recklessly?"
"Ah?" Hua Shi was puzzled. "Is this spell very powerful?"
"There are only a dozen or so of these talismans in the entire Xuanqing Continent, and each one takes hundreds of years to refine, so it's naturally extraordinary." Xuan Shuzhi took the initiative to help Hua Shi solve his doubts, and soon said, "Any Ten Thousand Worlds Spirit Talisman can destroy half of Tianqing City. Don't you think it's amazing?"
When Hua Shi heard this, he suddenly felt that the talisman was extremely hot. He didn't know how to touch it. He was afraid that he would accidentally detonate it. Before he could see Tianqing City being blown up, he would be blown to pieces.
But soon Ji Yuan's words put his mind at ease. Ji Yuan said, "There are many kinds of Ten Thousand Worlds Spirit Talismans. This one is just a substitute talisman. It has no offensive power." He then earnestly instructed Hua Shi, "You should carry this talisman with you. It's best not to leave it. If you encounter any danger, this talisman can die for you once."
Hua Shi blinked while holding the talisman, and immediately understood: "So, I have two lives?"
Ji Yuan said: "You can say that."
Xuan Shuzhi laughed, as if he was afraid that the other party would go back on his word, and immediately pulled Hua Shi and said, "Why don't you thank the Spirit Master quickly?"
Hua Shi opened his mouth to speak: "But..."
Ji Yuan seemed to have guessed that he would refuse, and before he opened his mouth, he said, "Since I have already given it away, I will not take it back. You guys pack up and get ready, and set off quickly."
Xuan Shuzhi smiled with narrowed eyes like a fox, thanking and praising Hua Shi, and did not give Hua Shi a chance to speak again. It was not until Ji Yuan nodded, and finally looked at Hua Shi silently and turned away that he finally said that he would pack up his luggage with Hua Shi and leave, and sent Ji Yuan away in advance.
Hua Shi was somewhat surprised by Xuan Shuzhi's eloquent speech. He waited for a long time but couldn't find any chance to interrupt. Only after Ji Yuan left did Xuan Shuzhi finally stop talking. In this moment of silence, he turned around and looked at Hua Shi meaningfully.
"My disciple, it seems like you have a lot of stories to tell." Xuan Shuzhi patted Hua Shi's shoulder, then glanced at the talisman in his hand and said with a smile, "Put your things away quickly."
Hua Shi nodded and replied hesitantly: "Oh."
But before he packed up his things, he paused for a moment and asked, "Don't you have anything to ask me?"
Xuan Shuzhi shook his head and chuckled: "If I ask you, will you tell me?"
Hua Shi: "Actually..."
He didn't know what to say. In fact, he didn't even know what was going on.
Or the system can know what is going on in the development of the plot.
When Hua Shi thought about this, he noticed that the system had not spoken since he got up this morning. Even at normal times, the system didn't like to pay attention to him. Most of the time, he was the one who took the initiative to talk to the system. But even at those times, the system would occasionally answer twice as a response. After more than half a year, Hua Shi had already become accustomed to the system's company.
This was the first time Hua Shi encountered a situation where there was no sound at all, like today.
"System?" Hua Shi thought of this and asked in his mind, but the system did not respond at all. Hua Shi was a little anxious. Taking the opportunity to go back to the room to get something, he even went back to the room, closed the door, and shouted directly: "System? What's wrong with you? Can you hear me?"
