Chapter 304 - Taken as Disciple Once Again (2/2)

It didn’t take Lonemoon too long to take care of those demons. Although they came in large numbers, all of them were small demons of fifth or sixth level. Defeating them was a piece of cake for him. The sky had already started to brighten, and the immortal sects nearby would be sending someone over soon. He was too lazy to explain. Besides the shock, the villagers suffered no real harm, except for Mother Wang who lived in the periphery – the exact person who gave salted fish to Chef.

That was an old woman of more than 60 years old. She lived alone with her granddaughter of five or six years old. Probably due to the proximity, she sometimes helped Chef, who completely lost his memory. That was why he rushed out so anxiously just now.

The injury was not serious, though. Lonemoon cured her with a simple hand seal, gave her a Longevity Extending Pill, and left with Shen Ying and Chef. Before he left, he made another protective array formation in the village, apparently much more effective than the previous one. No demons would be able to enter and eat people after this, unless an immortal demon comes down.

“Why do you set the center of the array formation at Mother Wang’s house?” Shen Ying couldn’t help asking.

“And you actually dare ask about this!” Lonemoon turned and stared at her. “Why would I ever need to do that, if not for that huge crack you made over there!”

He was angry every time he thought of this. He was doing well dealing with the demons, before a crack suddenly appeared from behind him, dividing the whole village into two, and he almost fell inside. If not for this, why would they have to run away early in the morning?

“Oh.” She didn’t use a lot of strength, though.

“Stop saying ‘oh’!” Lonemoon was out of temper. “Can’t you please take care next time? Did you know that…”

Just when he was doing his scolding, the child who was standing at the side the whole time suddenly placed himself before him, his small arms spread in a protective way in front of Shen Ying. He looked Lonemoon and said, somewhat angrily, “I… I will not let you scold my Master, she did that trying to save me.”

Lonemoon stopped short, looked and the little kid in front him, and instantly rolled his eyes. “Ho, how are you still a Master-flatterer after losing memory.” Without paying him any heed, he looked up at Shen Ying, “You took him back as disciple?”

“Yup.” Shen Ying nodded, smothered the hair of the little kid and said, “Come, call him Father Niu!”

“…”

“Go away!” Lonemoon gave her an angry look. He looked at the confused child and said, “It’s good that we have him back now. Oh yeah, kid, what are you called now?”

The child shook his head. “I have no name.” Since he remembered anything, he had been living in the broken house in that little village, without anyone around him to give him a name.

“That’s just nice.” Lonemoon felt relieved, indeed fearing that it would be awkward to use any new name of his. He nudged Shen Ying, “You are the Master. Tell him, what’s his name?”

The child’s eyes brightened immediately, as he looked towards Shen Ying. “Master, you are naming me?”

“Ah?” Shen Ying stunned, looked down at the person in front of her, before she sighed and said, “Oh, you will be called Che-”

“Yi Qing!” Before she was able to finish, Lonemoon intercepted her words forcefully, caught the child and said slowly and clearly, “Your Dao name is called Yi Qing, do you understand?”

What Chef! It is okay that you call him Chef in daily life, but you can’t go that far as to change his name.

Shen Ying, “…” Didn’t I just get used to it?

“Yi Qing…” The child said the name aloud happily, and somehow a sense of familiarity rose in the bottom of his heart. He turned to Shen Ying and said happily, “Thank you, Master.”

Lonemoon, “…” What the hell! He was the one who said it.

“Father Niu, where are we in fact going?” Shen Ying looked at the clouds which had been passing by them for more than ten minutes. “I’m so hungry!”

Lonemoon grinned. Didn’t you just finish dinner?

He looked back at her angrily, looked in front again, before replying, “We are going to the Upper Azure World, Honesty Sect.”

“What?” Where the hell is that?
