C93 master (2/2)

The old man looked me up and down again, then said.

”Come in and talk.”

I let out a sigh of relief and followed behind Tang Rou.

”What just happened?”

Tang Rou asked in concern. I gently shook my head. This wasn't the time to chat.

The interior of the room was not very large and its furnishings were rather simple. There was only a single table and a few chairs.

That refreshing fragrance came from the inner room. I saw that the one offering the gift was a statue, and the incense cauldron was full of offerings, which didn't match the worn-out appearance of the statue.

Smelling that fragrance, I couldn't help but be intoxicated. At this moment, the old man walked out from the back room. He tidied up his daoist robe and tied up his messy hair with a piece of straw.

”There's nothing to entertain in the wilderness. Drink your tea.”

It seemed that the old man was alone and didn't have a single disciple by his side. However, after the old man poured out a few bowls of tea, my appetite was immediately lifted.

Tang Rou and I were already thirsty. We picked up the bowls and blew on them, then drank a few mouthfuls. We immediately felt like our mouths were full of saliva and our strength had been restored by quite a bit.

”Daoist leader, this tea of yours is the best tea I've ever had. Judging from your complexion, you must be in pretty good health.”

Tang Rou immediately flattered me on the side, but that Daoist Priest's eyes were always on me.

”I already know about your grandpa, it's a pity, but not many of our generation are still alive. Right now, it's you youngsters' world, I heard that your father wants to abandon the main business. He was originally prepared to persuade you, but unfortunately, it's a long way to go …”

Saying this, the old gramps turned towards Tang Rou, who gave a faint sigh before looking at me.

”Thank you for your concern, Old Master. Right now, we've already realized the seriousness of this mission, so I'm constantly trying to figure it out and learn from it.”

”There are some things that cannot be changed. Everything is heaven's will. Since the heavens gave the Tang Clan such a mission, it naturally cannot be disobeyed. Moreover, doing this kind of thing can accumulate merits and in the future, there will be endless benefits.”

The two chatted for awhile before Tang Rou finally brought the topic up to me.

”Old Man, I believe that you can tell that there's something unusual about this friend of mine. The reason why we travelled thousands of miles this time was because we wanted to get the help of this senior expert of yours to solve our confusion, to let this friend of mine escape from the sea of suffering.”

”Little girl, you are able to give me some money. However, since you have already found this place and are able to help, I will naturally not decline.”

After hearing what the old man said, I hastily stood up and respectfully bowed.

”Thank you, old man, for this. It's just that the item on me is a bit troublesome.”

As I said this, I slowly unbuttoned my shirt in front of the old man. Following that, the ghastly face on my chest was reflected in the old Daoist's eyes.

Just at this moment, the old cultivator's expression became very serious.
