Chapter 166 - Reunion

I even had the illusion that if it wasn't for the jade pendant in my hand, the little ghost would have snatched the jade pendant away and swallowed it.

"You can go in." Suddenly, his master said these words to the little ghost.

Before I could even react, I saw the little ghost nod excitedly towards Master before he sneaked into the jade pendant like a wisp of smoke.

This... [What the hell is going on?

My eyes widened as I watched the kid suddenly slip inside the jade pendant.

This bastard could actually enter the jade pendant? Phantom has begun to have such an awesome skill these days?

I still hadn't been able to react to what the kid had done.

He entered just like that?

Not giving me any time to react?

"Alright, alright. Don't look like a country bumpkin. The jade pendant he gave you isn't an ordinary one. Therefore … it is normal for the little ghost to treat it as a place for himself to live." The master looked at me as if I were a country bumpkin, and after a long silence, he finally said to me in a tone of disappointment.

Towards my master's words, I pursed my lips but didn't say anything in the end.

I know I don't know enough to make a fuss, but... There's no need for Master to look at me with that kind of expression. At the very least, we are master and disciple relationship, and I am his precious disciple.

To speak of me like this in front of others, where should I put my face?

However, while I was complaining to my master in my heart, I suddenly thought of something.

Master said just now that the jade pendant that Uncle Feng gave me was not an ordinary one, that's why I could let the little ghost stay inside.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but scrunch the jade pendant into my palm.

In the beginning, the reason Uncle Feng gave me this jade pendant was so that I could protect myself. If I were to encounter danger, they would sense my location.

But now, since Elder Liu's problem has been resolved, I am now in a position of absolute safety.

According to human nature, I should return this jade pendant to the Uncle Feng.

However … After listening to Master's words, I was especially reluctant to return this jade pendant to Uncle Feng.

However, in front of my master and Uncle Feng, I can't just openly put the jade pendant into my own pocket, so I can only tightly hold it in my hands.

"Sigh …" Looking at my useless actions, Master didn't say anything. He just looked at me and sighed before helplessly shaking his head.

Cough cough …

After being together with Master for so long, I obviously knew what Master was thinking. Thus, I could only cough awkwardly a few times in my heart.

Although I know that this action of mine is very humiliating, but for the sake of the jade pendant, I can't be bothered about shameful matters.

"Shouldn't you return my jade pendant to me?" After seeing my actions, Uncle Feng immediately burst out laughing, looked at me, and said to me with a smile that was not a smile.

Hearing Uncle Feng's words, I didn't say anything, but subconsciously, I quickly hid my hands behind my back.

Jade pendant? What jade pendant? I don't know, I've never seen it.

If such a good thing were to return to the Uncle Feng so easily, I would have been greatly reluctant to part with it.

"Forget it – if you like this jade pendant, you can keep it for yourself. Just treat it as a gift from me. It will also save you the resentment you would have to bear after I take it away." After seeing my appearance, Uncle Feng couldn't help but smile at me before saying this.

"Thank you, Uncle Feng. Thank you, Uncle Feng." After hearing Uncle Feng's words, I hurriedly thanked him.

At that time, I was still thinking, if Uncle Feng insisted that I return the jade pendant to him, what should I do?

However, I never expected that Uncle Feng would actually gift me the jade pendant so generously.

Seeing me so embarrassed, Master couldn't help but touch his forehead.

I guess Master was thinking, how could I teach a disciple like him, who was obviously the type that opened his eyes to money, and now he is holding someone else's jade pendant, not letting go at all. He looks just like a little money grubber.

But now, of course, I would not care about my master's opinion of me.

"Alright — something has happened at my place. It's time for me to go back. We'll meet again later." Right when I was holding the rare jade pendant, Uncle Feng suddenly said this to Master.

I suddenly raised my head and looked towards Uncle Feng …

He had only been in the Southern Mountain for a day, and yet he was already leaving?

"In that case, we shall meet again in the future." What I never thought of was that after Master heard Uncle Feng's words, she didn't even ask him why he had left and instead acted very naturally.

After the two exchanged a few words, Uncle Feng turned around and left.

Before leaving, he told me to take good care of this jade pendant. Perhaps one day, this jade pendant might even save my life.

I simply nodded towards Uncle Feng — —

But of course, even if Uncle Feng didn't tell me, and told me to keep a jade pendant safe, I would still keep it by my side.

Putting aside the fact that this jade pendant looks really good, even if there was a little brat living inside, I would still bring this jade pendant with me.

After all, although the little demon was heavily injured, he was still a brat without a master. He had to rely on this jade pendant to survive.

I am now the owner of this jade pendant. In other words, I can be considered the owner of this little imp.

If something were to happen to me in the future, perhaps this little devil would be able to lend me a hand.

Even if it's for my own safety, I have to keep this jade pendant.

"Well — it's time for us to go." Just when I was in a daze while holding the jade pendant, I heard the words of my master.

"Are we going back now?" I raised my head and looked at Master with a puzzled expression.

Leave?

Where are we going to go now?

Could it be that after Uncle Feng left, we have to pack our stuff and return home?
