386 This Old Man’s Status Is Very High! (1/2)
Strange talents were always highly sought-after tactical resources that brought more benefits than detriments to those in authority. This was especially so when he had met such an expert in this chaotic war times; it was obviously a blessing that heaven had given him. How could he miss this chance at making an acquaintance?
An unparalleled expert like this was absolutely qualified to be the magical retainer of any family!
Young Master Lan, as Ziyou’s nobleman from the chancellor’s residence, wondered if more could come out of this encounter...
If it was a success, then it would be the foundation of his family flourishing power for ages to come!
A shadow stood at the entrance of the cave. When everyone turned around, there was a tiny bear about two feet tall standing at the entrance. It was obviously at a loss; its round eyes stared at the crowd in the cave, looking innocent and adorable.
It was as if the bear was puzzled if it had gotten the wrong door. Upon being sure that it was right, it looked even more confused as it turned back around, scratching its head while standing still at the entrance.
The bear was even holding a big bucket of clean water in its front paw.
”What an adorable bear!” A girl’s eyes were glazed with adoration.
It was so cute and adorable, innocent and dumb, but she really wished to hug and pet it! This was a baby cub that had yet to grow up!
The girls were immediately enticed by the bear’s adorable innocence.
Yun Yang’s voice sounded, ”Dummy, carry the water in.”
The bear carried the pail and walked over, avoiding everyone along its way; its eyes were filled with wonder and unadulterated wariness as if it was beyond bewildered at the many people in its home.
”This bear has gone to bring water; how quaint!”
”How obedient!”
”I want one too…”
”So fun! It’s too cute!”
”Is it really called Dummy?”
”It looks a little slow indeed, the name is befitting. Still, it’s truly adorable.”
…
The Niello Bear carried the bucket of water and watched the men and women with disdain, rolling its eyes as it entered. ”Cute?”
”I could swallow all of you in a single gulp!”
After a while, the group saw the bear approach with half a bucket of water and put it down on the ground endearingly before gesturing twice.
Yun Yang’s voice drifted out, ”You may drink some water to replenish yourselves.”
The group was, of course, filled with gratitude and thanks once again.
Under Yun Yang’s purposeful ministrations, his image of an expert of at least tens of years of reclusion was solidly forged!
An old cave, a black bear as a servant, a commanding aura, and the imposing swarm of snakes retreating before his might – even the terrifying serpent king had backed off.
What an image of an unparalleled prodigy!
Young Master Lan was clearly awestruck, and so were the others.
Yun Yang came out to have a drink before coughing it out in the cave. What issued from his mouth resembled a black mist. There came a violent hacking before a mouthful of blood was spat out. His fair skin turned pale as he turned around slowly.
The group was shocked – how could such an expert carry such an injury? One that was fairly severe, by the looks of it.
”Senior, are you well?” Young Master Lan asked earnestly.
