Half an hour later, Yi Feng and the other three finally finished their al and wine.
"Thank you for the generous hospitality, Master Yi. Qingshan and I will take our leave now." At the appropriate ti, Qingshan Patriarch tactfully bid farewell.
"Alright. Disciple, see our guests off." Yi Feng let out a loud burp, then waved his hand at the two and instructed Zhong Qing.
"Yes, Master." Zhong Qing respectfully nodded, then escorted Qingshan Patriarch and his companion to the entrance of the martial arts hall.
"Thank you for escorting us, young master." Outside, Qingshan Patriarch cupped his fist and politely said to Zhong Qing.
"You're too kind. Master said you're always welco to visit whenever you have ti." Zhong Qing nodded and replied.
"Wonderful, wonderful."
Qingshan Patriarch nodded gratefully. After so more small talk with Zhong Qing, Zhong Qing finally returned to the martial arts hall.
After parting ways, a broad smile appeared on Qingshan Patriarch's face as he stood across the street. He had just broken through to beco a Martial King, but his cultivation was still unstable. Yet now, it felt incredibly solidified.
In fact, the degree of solidification was comparable to a Martial King who had cultivated for decades.
"This trip today was worth my entire life!" Qingshan Patriarch sighed emotionally.
Little did he know, he who was once driven to desperation by Xuanwu Patriarch had now completely turned the situation around.
Of course, in his opinion, the greatest benefit was not the breakthrough in his cultivation realm.
Rather, it was the improvent in his state of mind.
Advancents in one's state of mind were rare and precious. It could only be comprehended through self-realization. Master Yi Feng's return to simplicity and humility, along with his extrely down-to-earth and tranquil mindset, allowed Qingshan Patriarch to gain profound insights.
Beside him, Luo Lanxue also had a look of relief on her face.
The huge boulder in her heart, from offending Master Yi Feng earlier, could finally be put down.
Despite being such an eminent figure, not only did he not hold her previous offense against her, he even treated her to a al without any reservations. This filled Luo Lanxue with admiration.
Compared to this senior, those so-called geniuses of the major sects were simply worlds apart.
"However, I still haven't figured out that young man!" As he watched Zhong Qing's departing figure, Qingshan Patriarch let out a soft sigh. He still could not discern anything remarkable about Zhong Qing.
But if there was nothing special about him, how could he have earned the favor of such an exceptional person like Master Yi Feng?
"Xue'er, when we return to Qingshan Sect, help thoroughly research the historical records. I must uncover what special abilities this young man has, to be able to beco the disciple of this senior." Qingshan Patriarch instructed.
"Yes."
Luo Lanxue was also extrely curious about this. It was not until later, when the two of them were satisfied, that they transford into beams of light and headed back to Qingshan Sect.
After Zhong Qing returned, he imdiately started cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks.
Yi Feng nodded in satisfaction at Zhong Qing. Although there was now one more mouth to feed, a well-behaved child like Zhong Qing was worth it!
Entering the back courtyard and about to sprawl out on the recliner, he suddenly noticed a dog staring intently at him.
"Huh?"
Yi Feng was startled. Wasn't this the dog he had dragged back?
Not only did it endure all those beatings on the street, but also a kick from him. He didn't expect the dog to still be alive. He was even planning to get rid of it and make hot pot.
This dog was truly resilient!
The dog's eyes stared straight at him, seemingly pleading.
"What does this dog want?" Yi Feng wondered.
Just as he was puzzling over this, the dog actually bent its limbs and knelt down before him. Then it started kowtowing.
Although kneeling to a human was quite humiliating for Ao Qing, son of the Heaven Devouring Demon King, considering how powerful this man was, and his own helplessness, he endured it.
"Are you begging for rcy from ?" Yi Feng was completely astonished. He didn't expect the dog to be so intelligent.
Hearing Yi Feng's words, the dog nodded.
Seeing this, Yi Feng sighed in admiration. He didn't expect the dog to be so intelligent. It reminded him of the husky he had raised in his past life. So with a wave of his hand, he said, "Forget it, forget it. You're also a living creature, I won't harm you anymore, alright?"
Upon hearing this, Ao Qing was overjoyed!
He was extrely grateful for making the decision to beg for rcy. Although kowtowing to a human was humiliating, it seed this eminent man was quite benevolent after all!
Ao Qing lowered his head and expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
"What a good dog..."
Yi Feng leaned back in his recliner and used his foot to lift the dog's chin, praising him.
Ao Qing's eyebrows wrinkled. What was his status? Although not favored by the Demon King, he was still the young master of the Heaven Devouring Demon Wolves. How could he be subjected to such humiliation, getting his chin lifted by a foot? Fury instantly rose within him.
No matter how powerful you are, you can't degrade others like this!
However, he endured it. After all, his life and freedom were most important. As long as he could escape from here, the world would be his oyster.
"Since you're so sensible, and I just happen to lack a gatekeeper, why don't you stay here!" Yi Feng did not want to let go of such an intelligent dog, so he continued speaking.
Upon hearing this, Ao Qing's fur stood on end.
His heart wailed in despair.
He didn't expect this man still had no intention of letting him go.
"What's wrong, you're unwilling?" Yi Feng paid no attention to whether the dog could understand him. He bent down and stroked its head.
Who would be willing to stay beside such a freak?
Ao Qing was on the verge of tears.
This young master still had to prove himself. Remaining here would be akin to having his freedom restricted. Who knows, when guests arrive in the future, you might decide to turn into hot pot again!
However, he could not outwardly express his inner thoughts. Especially considering Yi Feng's question just now, which seed to contain an implicit threat!
He had no desire to barely escape death as a dog... no, wolf, only to end up as hot pot again.
So he could only swallow his grief and indignation, and nodded.
"Good, then I'll give you a na." Yi Feng nodded in satisfaction and frowned in contemplation, "Now there's Zhong Qing and you, expenses are a bit tight, so I'll call you Wang Cai. Help our martial arts hall generate more business."
"Wang... Cai?"
Ao Qing wailed internally.
At the very least give a more impressive na!
Oh well. It doesn't matter.
Surviving for now is good enough.
However, this damn human, who he originally thought was so benevolent, turns out to be...
Humans really can't be trusted!
Of course, Yi Feng had no idea the dog could think so much. He assud it was just a mixed breed stray. Recalling that the dog was probably still hungry, he called out, "Disciple! Don't waste the leftovers, bring them here for your master."
