When Feng Jiu saw the old mans’ triumphant expression, her mouth twitched slightly. Even if he had dared to speak it, she was afraid to listen. She turned slightly to the other side and took another sip of wine.
Upon seeing that the Little Scoundrel had ignored him and turned his back towards him and drank more wine, the old man stared at him: “Little Scoundrel, did you hear a word I said?! Little Scoundrel!”
When he saw that he was being ignored, the old man jumped in front of him: “I’m talking to you!”
“I’m not a Little Scoundrel.” Feng Jiu replied. She held the wine gourd in her arms and refused to give him any.
“You are a Little Scoundrel! You took a treasure from me the first time I met you. If you aren’t a Little Scoundrel then what are you?” He became angry when he spoke about this matter, this kid was cunning.
Feng Jiu put the wine gourd away quickly and stood up, then walked over to Chai Second Master: “Second Master, when will we be leaving?”
Due to the fact that Feng Jiu had saved everyone time after time, he had grown more respectful of him. He didn’t look down on him because of his young age. When he asked him this, he said: “I will discuss it with Immortal Lord.” With that, he walked over to Sage Hun Yuan.
Not long later, after Sage Hun Yuan had discussed it with Chai Second Master, the group moved forward again.
“Has Immortal Lord been to the Volcanic Forest before?” Chai Second Master asked.
“Of course.”
Sage Hun Yuan replied and glanced behind at Feng Jiu. He cursed secretly. The Little Scoundrel, he had already brought up the matter of acknowledging him as his Master, but he had repeatedly avoided the conversation. He didn’t believe that with his prestigious reputation he would be unable to get this kid to be his disciple!
Upon hearing this, Second Chai Master asked: “Then how long will it take for us to get to the crater of the volcano from here?”
“Going at our current speed, we should reach the area in about ten days or so. However, that is provided that our journey is uneventful. If something were to happen along the way then that would be hard to say.” Sage Hun Yuan walked leisurely with his hands behind his back. He was thinking about how he could make the kid obediently acknowledge him as his Master during this period of time.
Well, that Little Scoundrel must not know how powerful he is. As long as he could show him how good he was, he would definitely jump at the chance of acknowledging him as his Master. As he thought of this, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
Oh he was getting excited just thinking about it. He had to find an opportunity for him to show off his skills and let that Little Scoundrel see how strong he was!
Zhou Junyue who was walking beside Sage Hun Yuan watched the old man’s expression change and wondered what happy things he was thinking of. He was grinning so much that the corners of his mouth had nearly reached his ears and the look between his eyebrows puzzled him even more.
This old man was still angry earlier on, how could his mood have changed so quickly?
He glanced at the old man and then at the young boy in azure robes behind him. He thought that the old man’s mood definitely had something to do with the young man.
They walked until the sky became dark, and they finally stopped.
“Let’s rest here tonight! Go and pick some branches to light two fires. Everyone take a break. Remember to have a few people take turns to keep watch overnight.” Chai Second Master instructed, then he said to Sage Hun Yuan: “Immortal Lord, sit down and take a rest first.”
“Alright.” Sage Hun Yuan replied but didn’t sit down. Instead, he walked over to Feng Jiu and stood in front of him.
“Can I help you with something?” Feng Jiu looked at the old man helplessly and asked. What did this old man want?
