China, southern territory, in a forest deep in the mountains.
Ye Liuyun was leaning against a tree branch. He had his head resting on his arms, his mouth holding the tender grass, and his crossed legs were hitting the beat. He was softly humming a little tune.
Slightly sighing, he said, "I know that Tie Xin's death is a great blow to you, but you can't just let things slide like this. You have to pull yourself together. After all, you are my most profitable master …" "Pfft, his favorite disciple."
Ye Liuyun jumped down from the tree. He looked casual, but his eyes were full of sadness.
"Master, Tie Xin had only sacrificed himself to save me, he's just a little sister, he doesn't have any other family, so I have to take responsibility of taking care of Xiao Rou!"
The old man lightly patted Ye Liuyun's shoulder and said sincerely, "Master understands. But first you have to roast the falcon, don't you? This is the condition that you agree to for me to accept. "
With that, the old man looked at Ye Liuyun craftily and thought to himself:
"Hehe, this old man has long submitted to the falcon behind the mountain. In order to temper it, this old man did not sleep for half a month and almost met the King of Hell …" "This kind of divine bird will only serve one master in its entire life. Since you've already agreed to it but can't accomplish it, don't blame this old man for not agreeing to let you go down the mountain …"
Just as the old man was feeling pleased with himself, Ye Liuyun revealed a dazzling smile with his pure white teeth. "Hehe, I will naturally remember to agree to Master's conditions. Master, take a look at what this is!"
As he spoke, Ye Liuyun lifted the lid of the pot.
The old man stepped forward and looked around suspiciously.
"Eh? What a nice smell. Are you stewing a chicken? However, this chicken is not small at all.
"Master!" Ye Liuyun was unhappy, "Have you seen chicken that weighs over ten catties? That must be chicken essence, right? This thing is an eagle! "
"Hawk?" The old man was obviously stunned for a moment, and then, like a bolt of lightning, he was struck. He was completely stupefied!
"You mean …" This pot is stewed with eagles! The eagle at the back of the mountain!? "
Ye Liuyun said matter-of-factly, "That's right! Master, didn't you say that as long as I complete the Eagle mission, you will let me go down the mountain? "Now that the falcon is almost done, how about I leave in the afternoon?"
"You, you, you …" The old man almost fainted as he was stuck in his chest with a mouthful of blood.
Previously, the old man had thought that victory was already in his grasp, but he had never expected that the falcon that Ye Liuyun had understood was actually the falcon being stewed …
The old man resisted the urge to strangle the other, "Ye Liuyun! Is this how your family's Stewing Eagle works!? "
Ye Liuyun was slightly taken aback, "Wasn't it like this? Oh, I see! Master, do you think it's not right to boil the falcon in a pot? "Actually, that's what I thought too. It's just that you don't have any pressure cookers on this mountain. If there were, I would have already sent you the Eagle's Soup."
"Ugh …" "Puff …" The old man felt a sharp pain in his chest, and finally, he couldn't hold back any longer. He spurted out a mouthful of blood.
"Master …"
"Don't call me master! I don't have such an unfilial disciple like you! You, you, you, you … Do you know how much energy this gyrfalcon spent for its master? "You actually stewed it in the blink of an eye, I …"
"But Master, you didn't say in advance that it had already been subdued by you. Besides, a godly bird like the gyrfalcon will only recognize one master in its entire life, yet you actually want me to make one that you've already made …"
"Cough, cough …" The old man coughed dryly twice, feeling a bit guilty, and interrupted Ye Liuyun, "Forget about this matter, I'm not going to pursue this matter with you! However, if you want to go down the mountain, you have to help me finish my last mission! "
Ye Liuyun's face turned bitter, "Master, you can't be like this. How can you change your mind about what we agreed on before?"
The old man's face hardened. "Hmph!" Are you blaming Master? How about this, if we fight, if you can beat me, I'll let you off the mountain, okay? "
"Tch!" Make a move? I'm telling you, if I could beat you, I would have already done it! You still need to wait until now? " Ye Liuyun thought gloomily.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought of fighting the old man!
Over the years, he had sparred with the old man countless times. Each time, the results were exactly the same!
The old man's cultivation base was like an endless abyss that would never end!
Every time when Ye Liuyun's cultivation had improved and he felt that he could compete with the old man, the old man would magically be a little stronger than him. However, there was only a tiny bit of difference.
"What mission?" "Let's hear it first."
"Hee hee …" The old man put away his serious expression, smiled and said, "Master will definitely consider this mission for you. If you finish it well, you won't have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of your life."
"Really?" Ye Liuyun was also interested, but he would not believe it so easily. He doubted, "Is there such a good thing?"
"Of course! When have I ever lied to you? "
Ye Liuyun: "Hur hur."
"You don't believe me?"
Ye Liuyun crossed his legs and shook them, "Master, it's not that I don't trust you, but you have covered your own conscience and scammed me a few times?"
"Forget about the distance, let's just talk about this year's event! You told me to go to Thailand to save a beauty, and I spent so much effort to save her. Haha, she's really pretty, but why didn't you tell me in advance that she's a transvestite? It almost caused my chastity to be damaged, no?! "
"It was an accident. Master didn't know about it in advance."
"I believe in your evil!" Ye Liuyun muttered in his heart, but then he said, "Even if you don't know about that incident, what about another time? You told me you were going to save a princess. This princess has a mine. I went all the way abroad to take a look, oh, really not bad, people home not only have mines and oil fields! But why don't you just say that the princess is black? You didn't know about this even in advance? "
"Hehehe, that …" Let's not talk about this anymore. " The old man laughed. "Liu Yun, the mission I gave you this time is really good for you. You don't need to save anyone and you don't need to kill anyone. You only need to marry a lady!"
"What the hell is this!?"
Ye Liuyun immediately jumped up, "Master! I'm your disciple, and you're just selling me out like that!? "
The old man's face twitched, "Flowing Cloud, it's not what you think! I'm telling you, the person you want to marry is really a good one. I've seen it before. Not only was she pretty, but she also had the ability to run her own company. To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that I have some connections with the elders of their family, I'm afraid such a good thing wouldn't even be yours. "
"Haha …" Ye Liuyun laughed coldly, "That's great. I also don't want to marry any lady. Can't you just tell them that I'm not willing?"
"No way!"
The old man said in an uncharacteristically resolute and decisive manner, "I'll put the words here for you. If you agree to this marriage, then everything will be fine. If you don't, then …" Don't even think about going down the mountain! "
"Old man!" "Don't force me!"
"What is it? You want to spar with me? "
"I …"
In the end, due to the old man's outrageous strength, Ye Liuyun could only nod his head.
"Master, let's talk first. If I find that there is something different from what you have said, I will not compromise. As the saying goes, 'I am poor, I am strong …'"
"Stop, stop, stop!" Stop... Don't even mention anything else, I've already brought all of your luggage, I'll send you off the mountain right now! "
With that, the old man magically brought out Ye Liuyun's luggage and passed over a piece of paper.
"This note is the contact information for your fiancee. Contact her as soon as possible after you go down the mountain. You must complete this mission!"
The corner of Ye Liuyun's mouth twitched, "Master, why do I feel like I've been tricked by you again?"
"Nonsense! Master will definitely not scam you this time, quickly leave … "
The old man sent Ye Liuyun to the foot of the mountain and ran off like he was afraid Ye Liuyun would go back on his word.
Seeing that the old man was nowhere to be seen, Ye Liuyun also let himself go and directly shattered his fiancée's contact details.
"What marriage? What beautiful CEO? Go to hell!" "From today onwards, I will be completely free, hahahaha …"
