'Why is this old f*cker so lucky? He is a powerful cultivator, and that kid is just a level-four Faery Origin Stage cultivator. How does he know about the old bastard's physical condition?!'
'The old man got a bottle of extremely valuable dan beads by putting on some simple disguise!'
'This is so unfair!'
'Those are some extraordinary dan beads… I want some…'
Song was so annoyed.
In fact, what made him jealous was not only the supreme dan beads, but also… the trust, and the relationship.
Song wanted to say something to show Ye Xiao how he was willing to join the Monarch's Hall. He couldn't let Master Guan got all the benefits alone. However, before he said anything, Master Guan said, ”Prime Leader, we have defeated the Gray Parasol Sword Sect, and we are taking their territory… Don't you want to go and see how it goes? With you with our people, they will be more spirited!”
Ye Xiao smiled and said, ”I don't think we need that. Each of the leaders of the Monarch's Hall must be able to perfectly get things done. If I have to join every small mission like this, the Monarch's Hall will never be great.”
”I trust Meng Youjiang. He will draw a perfect end to the battle.” Ye Xiao blandly smiled and said, ”If I go with them, Meng Youjiang will have to pay attention to me. I am the Prime Leader, but I am not going to control everything. I want everyone to do what they think is best…”
”That is a good composition.”
”I am at the top of the power system, so what I need to do is to give everybody the stage they need. That is enough.” Ye Xiao said, ”I won't stick my hand into everything, because it tires me, and exhausts everybody! We don't need that!”
After that, Ye Xiao politely ended the conversation. He said, ”Master Song, I will hold a feast to celebrate the victory tonight. Please come. You, Master Guan, and I, we can have some good drinks. This is an official invitation.”
Master Song looked weird, and coldly said, ”Aren't you afraid that I will just drink, eat, and take as much as I want, but refuse to help you?”
Ye Xiao laughed and waved his hand, leaving without saying a word.
He said nothing, not a single word. However, he had shown his attitude.
'I would love to have you on my side, but I don't have to get you on-board.'
'If you want to come, you will be most welcomed. If you don't, it won't hurt us.'
'I have my own plan for the future. We won't stop because of somebody's absence.'
Ye Xiao left. Bu Xiangfeng showed up quietly and followed Ye Xiao. In the end, they both disappeared in the Hall of Life and Death.
The Dark Evil Spirit and Bai Long were like two door-gods, guarding the entrance of the Hall of Life and Death.
It was all silent.
Song stayed silent for a while. Master Guan looked proud.
Ye Xiao left his laugh to answer the question. It showed his confidence, which shocked Master Song, and made Master Guan proud!
”Thank you.” Master Song sighed. He seemed frustrated and regretful.
Ye Xiao cared about Master Guan's health, because of what?
He was a grateful man!
He had power, wisdom, a strong sense of responsibility, passion, caring, and ambition…
He was just like all the conquerors in the history of the Human Realm Upon Heavens!
”Just take the bottle out and show me what they look like!” Song fiercely said to Master Guan, but in a low voice.”
”Why should I? Do you always ask for other's help so impolitely?” Master Guan turned around and said, ”That belongs to me!”
”You!” Song was so angry!
”Humph!” Master Guan humphed and then slowly took out the jade bottle. He picked one dan bead out and handed it to Song. ”Here. You got lucky today!”
Song hurriedly took it and angrily said, ”Come on, be careful! You know how valuable it is!”
He took the dan bead and carefully put it into his pocket. He humphed and said, ”You are not as stupid as I thought. If you dare to keep them to yourself, I will make sure you suffer.”
Master Guan rolled up his eyes and said, ”Come on. Stop acting like an idiot. We all know what this is about! He gave me the dan beads in front of you because he wanted me to give you one.”
”Otherwise, he wouldn't give the dan beads to me when you are around. Don't you think? Why did he have to show the dan beads before your eyes? Besides, two of these dan beads make a perfect combination. Why would he give me two? You are an idiot, not me!”
Song's face turned red, and he said, ”Humph. I didn't ask him to do this.”
”Well, it is your decision to make!” Master Guan smiled and said, ”You want to turn him down? Fine. You know what? You are not going to have the second dan bead if you don't ask for it! You are such a moron. Don't tell others that I know you because it disgraces me!”
Song was so angry that he almost beat Master Guan up.
After a long time.
”Guan, why did he do this? What do you think?”
”Really? You don't see it? You are more and more an idiot as you grow older!”
”Fine! You are the best! Come on… Just tell me something.”
”Okay. Let's talk about it when available!”
”I am available now. Come on, tell me something.”
”You idiot! I mean when I am available.”
”You f*cker!”
”Humph!”
…
”It is rendering timely help to give us these dan beads…”
Master Song sighed.
Master Guan stayed silent for a while and said, ”Yes, it is.”
”First of these dan beads provides five hundred years. In fact, five hundred years doesn't really mean anything for people like us.”
”That is right.”
”However, because of all the years we have been through, there are damages inside us, which can not be repaired. Nobody and nothing can resist it.”
”That's right!”
”Especially the inner organs, they are getting older and older, and there is nothing we can do to stop it.”
”That's true.”
”After all we have been through in the martial world, we still look tough, but in fact, we are wounded inside. One breakdown could kill us at any second.”
”That is right.”
”With this dan bead, we can cure all the interior wounds! We won't need to worry about being hurt inside the body. We will be at the prime of our lives! We will be in the best condition.”
”That is right.”
”That is not all. The most magnificent thing about this dan bead is that it heals the emotional wounds. That is the most unbelievable and magnificent part about it, which made it irreplaceable.”
Master Song had been speaking excitedly, and Master Guan just sighed. He slowly said, ”We both have lived so many years… You know that the most unbearable wounds are always emotional wounds… We have seen too much death after all.”
”No matter how powerful a man is, as he grows older and older, he will have his family, his children someday… Not all his children are materials for cultivation, and not everyone can walk far enough in the path of cultivation…”
”Those who don't belong to the world of martial art always lived for only decades, no longer than two hundred years… They always die young…”
”In fact, even those talented ones, who are good at cultivation, may get killed while traveling the martial world…”
”I have lived so many years… Every two years, there was chaos… The world is changing…”
”My heart is broken…”
”Our power will support us and keep us alive for a long time. However, some of us will die someday… We have hidden wounds in our bodies. We have enemies who may kill us with a sneaky attack… There are all kinds of reasons to die. You know it.”
