18th Generation Son-in-law - C189
“Take care of me?”
Yao Yuan felt that it was kind of funny.
“Did my master really say that?”
Although he had not taught Yao Yuan anything, in theory, the Taoist Xu Hua was still Yao Yuan’s master. Even if he was a new disciple, he would still be considered a disciple.
Xiao Huan nodded her head, without saying a word, she placed the food in front of Yao Yuan.
Yao Yuan would naturally not let it go easily. After all, after such a long period of time, he had only eaten some compressed food and not even a mouthful of something hot.
While eating, Yao Yuan looked at Xiao Huan happily and said: “If that’s the case, then why don’t you charge my phone? In such a place, there isn’t even a socket, no matter how long your phone stays put, it still won’t hold up for so long.”
Xiao Huan replied with a smile, then took out a charger treasure from her pocket and placed it in front of Yao Yuan: “Settle it yourself.”
Yao Yuan took the charger and placed it on his phone naturally. As he ate, he spoke.
“You didn’t just come to give me food right? Did my master arrange something for you?”
Xiao Huan sat beside Yao Yuan and spoke without the slightest hesitation: “Daoist Master Xu Hua asked me to tell you something.”
“Feel free to speak.”
He had just passed the third trial. Although he still did not know the level of confidence he had six Golden Man s at, it was enough to make Yao Yuan pat his chest and talk big again.
Xiao Huan covered her mouth and laughed. In these few days of time, she roughly knew what kind of character Yao Yuan had, and did not take these words seriously. She just followed Taoist Xu Hua’s instructions and said it.
“Daoist leader said that if you really think it’s difficult, then you can stop for a while. Knowing about the progress and retreat is also a principle that Cultivator needs to understand.”
“Is there any punishment? Don’t tell me it’s so simple.”
Yao Yuan was not an idiot. Before Taoist Xu Hua left, he had said that if he did not defeat all nine of the Golden Man, he would not be let out.
Now that he had turned around and said such a thing, it was hard for Yao Yuan to believe that it was not without intentions.
“You’re pretty smart.”
Xiao Huan laughed: “There are conditions, but it depends on whether you can accept it or not.”
“Go ahead.”
Yao Yuan finished all the food in front of him in the blink of an eye, and also took a sip of the liquor Xiao Huan brought over. After he had eaten his fill, he laid down comfortably on the ground and stared into Xiao Huan’s eyes.
If you go out now, you will only be on the same level as the other disciples and will receive the same guidance. However, if you pass the sixth trial, you will be able to reach the level of a core disciple.
Xiao Huan said slowly, but her eyes were focused on Yao Yuan’s eyes.
was stunned for a moment. She thought that she had not said it clearly, but just as she was about to say it again, Yao Yuan suddenly jumped up and said excitedly, “Is what you said true?”
“Huh?”
Xiao Huan looked at Yao Yuan in shock, unable to comprehend his intentions.
“You can’t be …”
Yao Yuan naturally knew what she wanted to say, and nodded with all his might: “That’s right, since we can leave now, why are we still staying here? My master, I think it’s true, why didn’t you say that earlier?
Xiao Huan didn’t know what to say for a moment.
“Are you sure?”
“Otherwise?”
With just a few words, Yao Yuan had already packed all of his things and put them into his backpack.
“The power source has been taken away. The phone is out of battery.”
Xiao Huan suddenly pulled Yao Yuan back and hurriedly said: “You need to think things through clearly. If you leave now, the resources that you will receive will be greatly different from others. You need to know that for many people, wanting to become Taoist’s core disciple would be a dream, much less a closing disciple.”
Speaking of which, this Taoist Xu Hua really seemed like a very powerful person, and could be considered to be someone with status and position in the entire Cloud Gate. There was a great deal of truth in Xiao Huan’s words, but Yao Yuan had his own plans.
“Putting aside Master’s status, even if it was just an ordinary person, they would still have the qualification to teach me, I have never doubted that. But you have also seen that the nine Golden Man in the Nine Palaces are truly not to be trifled with, I have wasted a lot of effort, even going so far as to rack my brains before I could barely get past them.”
Time is very precious to me. There are many things that I have to take care of in Qingjiang, and my wife might even be bullied by some pervert. If I continue to waste my time here, it will not only be to me, but also to the people around me.
Yao Yuan withdrew his playful expression, and said with a stern face: “I am truly grateful to my master for saving my life, I am willing to spend my entire life to repay him for this favor, but right now, I cannot afford to waste this time.”
Xiao Huan still wanted to say something, but she smiled. “Don’t worry, aren’t these my master’s intentions? They’re all choices, what’s the difference between high and low?”
Hearing Yao Yuan’s words, Xiao Huan could only let go of her hand.
“Of course, and thank you for taking care of me these past few days. I am not an ungrateful person, I will definitely remember your kindness to me, after I bid farewell to my master, I will leave this place, and when I’m done with my things, I will come back to find you!”
Yao Yuan carried his backpack and directly left the small house.
Only, when he walked out of the room, did Yao Yuan realize the seriousness of the situation.
“Sister Xiao Huan!”
Xiao Huan was still standing in her original position without moving, but she could vaguely hear the distant Yao Yuan’s voice.
“Sister Xiao Huan, I need your help!”
Yao Yuan ran down and smiled awkwardly as he looked at Xiao Huan.
“Now that I know, I’m back. Weren’t you very stubborn just now?”
Xiao Huan said with a smile and arms crossed.
Yao Yuan chuckled: “This is my first time coming to the Cloud Gate, and I discovered that I don’t know my way out. Didn’t I come back to ask you for some advice, look at me, I know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing, I’m an honest man, and seeing that I’m being so honest, shouldn’t Big Sister Xiao Huan help me a little?”
“I think you’re really honest. If you say you can leave now, you can leave. You don’t have any face left.”
Xiao Huan was so angry that she directly knocked on Yao Yuan’s head twice.
“Alright, alright, I won’t talk to you anymore. I’ll take you to the Taoist first.”
Xiao Huan started to pack up the things that she brought over. Beside him, Yao Yuan flattered and helped out in every way possible.
“How is it? I can still do it, right?”
