Chapter 2009. A Cup of Hot Tea is as Warm as Home (1/2)
In the Ancient Dao imperial palace, the man in the royal robe clenched his hands and had a gloomy expression.
Behind him, the old man didn’t dare to gasp. He was equally shocked, but due to the pressure, he didn’t dare to reveal any of it.
“I felt the aura of the soul blood…”Killing intent appeared in the eyes of the man in the royal robe. He had a guess over the last few hundred years, and it was like a thorn in his heart!
After a long time, the man in the royal robe said, “Quickly, fuse those selected women with the soul!”
“As you command!” The old man immediately knelt down. His back was soaked in sweat. Facing this moody Ancient Dao Emperor, he had seen too many people executed for no reason.
The man in the royal robe waved his sleeve and disappeared.
In the southern part of the city, outside the Ancient Dao Temple, Wang Lin was surrounded by citizens of the Ancient Dao, who were looking at him in horror. He stepped toward the Ancient Dao Temple but didn’t enter and instead disappeared before the temple.
When he reappeared, he was in the back mountain, in a palace that was like a paradise. Beside him was a clear stream that flowed along a rock path, and there were fishes happily swimming inside.
Beside the stream was a hut, and there was a stone table before the hunt along with a few stone chairs. There was a green-robed young man sitting on one of the stone chairs. Although he looked young, he gave off an ancient aura as if he had lived for countless years.
He looked at Wang Lin with a smile.
There was a teapot on the stone table, and the moment Wang Lin appeared, the water boiled and bubbled.
“Come, Teacher has boiled this pot of water for you so we can taste this tea together.”
Wang Lin also smiled and walked up. He poured half a cup for each of them. He picked up one cup and handed it over with both his hands to the green-robed young man.
The man accepted with a smile and looked at Wang Lin with a kind gaze.
Wang Lin sat on the side and picked up his own teacup. He took a sip and closed his eyes as he felt the aroma fill his mouth. The hot air spread and made his whole body feel warm.
“How is it?” The green-robe young man smiled.
“There is warmth of home.” Wang Lin opened his eyes and smiled.
When the green-robed young man heard this, he immediately began to laugh. He had waited here for his disciple to arrive and had even prepared a pot of hot tea. This was to tell Wang Lin that from now on, this was his home!
Because the tea could warm up the body and make people feel a sense of warmth.
The two hadn’t met for hundreds of years, but at this moment, there was no barrier between them. The green-robed young man looked at Wang Lin, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
“When Teacher left the celestial clan, I was feeling very helpless, but when I noticed you appear in the celestial clan, I knew that the two of us would meet again one day!
“Teacher has been preparing this pot of tea since then!” The green-robed young man was Xuan Luo!
“Teacher watched everything you did in the celestial clan, but Teacher could not head over. If Teacher had, then all the Grand Empyreans in the celestial clan would have noticed…” Xuan Luo said as he looked at Wang Lin.
“But I believed that the only disciple I accepted would be extraordinary. He would walk out from the celestial clan and come to my Ancient Dao!”
Wang Lin put down the cup of tea and his gaze met Xuan Luo’s gaze.
“Disciple promised Teacher to come here and guard the Ancient Dao…”
“White-Haired Ascendant Empyrean, number one under Grand Empyreans!” Xuan Luo laughed as he stood up.
“Wang Lin, rest for a few days. In three days, Teacher will take you to a few places that will help your cultivation greatly. They will be my first gift to you for taking me as your teacher!”
Xuan Luo looked at Wang Lin with a smile, then he disappeared.
“Wang Lin, I gift this place to you!”
Wang Lin stood up and bowed at the sky. After a long time, he raised his head and looked around with a complicated gaze. The complication in his eyes gradually disappeared.
“Forget it, let’s stay at the Ancient Dao…”Wang Lin let out a sigh before he sat down on the stone chair and silently drank tea.
He decided to stay here for a long time. If there was no accident… he could guard the Ancient Dao until he fulfilled his commitment with Xuan Luo, even though he still felt unfamiliar here.
Three days of time passed by in a flash. Wang Lin stayed in this paradise-like place and watched the sunrise and sunset as he breathed the fresh air. After three days, Wang Lin felt Xuan Luo calling him. He took a step and ripples echoed. He then disappeared from this paradise.
