Chapter 9: Immortal Sect Apprenticeship
half a month later.
At noon.
Ye Fei followed Ye Liting over mountains and across rivers, trekking thousands of miles, and finally arrived at the foot of a big mountain.
"Dad, you didn't lie to me this time, did you? Have we really arrived?" Exhausted, Ye Fei collapsed to the ground.
"This time it's finally here!" Ye Liting leaned against a big tree with a tired look on his face.
"Dad, you praised this old guy so much along the way. Is he really that powerful?" Ye Fei looked doubtful.
Along the way, Ye Liting kept praising his father's old friend, and he was just short of praising this old man to be the best master in the world.
Ye Fei believed it a little at first, but later, seeing that Ye Liting's exaggerations were getting more and more outrageous, he now believed him less and less.
The main reason was that he had already labeled Ye Liting as unreliable, and now he only believed three out of ten sentences this old guy said.
"Of course. I heard from your grandfather that he used to be one of the most powerful people in our star field. But later he was trapped in love and retired from the world." Ye Liting said.
"Trapped by love? Retiring from the martial arts world?" Ye Fei was speechless: "Since he is so awesome, why didn't you send me here earlier to learn from him?"
"That won't work!" Ye Liting shook his head: "Your grandfather said that you can only come to see him after the Li family cancels the engagement!"
"Why is this?" Ye Fei asked again.
"Then you have to ask your grandfather!" Ye Liting shook his head.
"Ask my grandpa?" Ye Fei was at a loss: "Dad, I have asked you several times where grandpa is now, why don't you tell me? Where did he go?"
"He, he didn't go anywhere!" Ye Liting said hesitantly, "He has always been at the Ye family!"
"Oh……"
"In short, your grandfather told me many times to send you here to learn skills as soon as the Li family broke off the engagement. It was also your second master who wanted to kick you out of the Ye family that day. Even if he didn't kick you out, I was planning to find time to send you here as soon as possible!"
"So that's how it is." After hearing Ye Liting say this, Ye Fei suddenly became a little excited.
Is it necessary for the Li family to cancel the engagement in order to trigger some mechanism?
Then I can rise strongly all the way?
It seems that the old man I am about to become your apprentice is indeed reliable.
Damn it, after all this fuss, here’s my golden finger.
Not bad, not bad. Although it is a little late, it is not too late.
At this moment, Ye Fei was once again full of hope for his future.
"Let's go! We must reach Qianxian Sect before dark, otherwise we will have to spend the night outside again." Ye Liting looked up at the mountain in front of him.
"Okay!" Ye Fei was more cheerful than ever before. Every time Ye Liting urged him to hurry up, he would lie still on the ground and would not leave until Ye Liting forcibly pulled him up. This time, he immediately struggled to stand up. After he stood up, he also looked up at the mountain, which was at least four or five thousand meters above sea level.
At this moment, there was light in his eyes.
At this moment, he felt that all the thousands of miles he had traveled over mountains and across rivers were worth it.
Damn it, when I, Ye Fei, go down the mountain, I will soar into the sky.
Ye Xuan?
Just wait for me, I will beat you back the same way you beat me before.
Li Ruoling?
Don't you look down on me? When we meet again, I will make you feel out of reach...
Two hours later, the father and son finally reached the halfway point of the mountain.
As far as they could see, they finally saw a few houses hidden in a large bamboo forest.
However, they could only vaguely see a bit of the roof now and could not see the whole picture.
"Dad, this should be the place, right?" Ye Fei said excitedly.
"Yeah!" Ye Liting nodded.
"The Thousand Immortal Sect, the name sounds awesome!" Ye Fei said excitedly, "Dad, did this sect have a thousand immortals in the past, so it's called the Thousand Immortal Sect?"
"I don't know, I've never been here!" Ye Liting shook his head.
Immediately afterwards, the father and son walked quickly towards the large bamboo forest in front.
However, when they passed through the bamboo forest and before they reached the house, they heard a group of people making a lot of noise ahead.
"Old man, pay me back, or we'll burn your place down today!"
"That's right. If you don't pay off your debt today, we will burn down your sect!"
……
A lot of people yelled.
"Someone is here to collect a debt?" Ye Fei looked at Ye Liting in confusion: "Dad, did we come to the wrong place? Didn't you say that the Thousand Immortal Sect is very powerful? How could someone come here to collect a debt?"
"How would I know? I've never been here. All I know about this place is what your grandfather told me." Ye Liting shook his head and suddenly sighed.
"Hey, ever since your grandfather went crazy, no one believes what he says anymore. I'm the only one who can listen to some of his nonsense!"
"What?" Ye Fei was stunned for a moment: "You, you, you...you mean, grandpa asked you to send me here to learn skills only after he went crazy?"
"Of course not!" Ye Liting said seriously, "If he wasn't crazy, would he let me send you to the Qianxian Sect, which is a thousand miles away from Tianluo City? Who would let you travel so far to learn martial arts?"
Ye Fei: “…”
Ye Fei suddenly wanted to die.
At this moment, the little hope that had just been ignited was shattered again.
"Hey, old man, don't run!"
"Damn it, old man, stop..."
"Still want to run, chase..."
……
Just then, a burst of shouting and cursing suddenly came from the distance.
Soon, Ye Fei and his son Ye Liting saw an old man with tattered clothes, messy white hair and rushing out from the bamboo forest in front.
The old man was running in front, followed by more than a dozen people chasing him with swords in hand.
"Hey, hey, hey, make way, make way..." The old man started waving at Ye Liting and Ye Fei father and son from a distance.
The father and son were originally standing in the middle of a path. They hurriedly took a step back towards the bushes on both sides, leaving a path for the old man to pass.
Swish!
The old man flashed past them.
Although he looked to be in his seventies or eighties, his steps were steady and his speed was fast. The group of more than ten men in their thirties and forties who were chasing him were actually left behind by him by dozens of meters.
After the old man ran past Ye Fei and the others, soon, the dozen or so men holding swords also came to them.
The two leaders stopped and immediately put their swords on Ye Liting and Ye Fei's necks: "Are you disciples of Qianxian Sect?"
"No, no!" Ye Liting shook his head hurriedly: "We are here to collect debts too!"
Ye Fei gave Ye Liting an appreciative look.
I didn't expect this old guy to be so smart.
"Then why are you still standing there? Let's chase him together. We can't let this old man get away again today! We finally stopped him once, if we let him get away again, we don't know when we will see him again." After the man said this, he hurriedly turned around and continued to chase him down the mountain.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people disappeared.
Ye Fei and Ye Liting exchanged glances. Ye Fei looked at Ye Liting with disdain: "That old man just now is the old friend of grandpa you mentioned? My top master?"
"Hehe..." Ye Liting smiled awkwardly: "Sure enough, you can't trust a madman's words, right?"
Ye Fei gnashed his teeth in anger: "Now you know that what the madman said is unreliable, what were you doing earlier? You made me walk thousands of miles in vain!"
"If we hadn't come here, wouldn't we know what's going on here? We have to try our luck, right? Forget it, let's go back. I'll take you to find another old friend of your grandfather!"
"Still looking for it?" Ye Fei was instantly angry: "If you want to find it, go find it. I'm not going!"
"You don't want to learn skills anymore?"
“I don’t want to learn anymore!”
"How can that be possible! How can you turn your life around if you don't learn some good skills?" Ye Liting's face suddenly turned ugly: "Do you want to be stepped on by others all your life? Do you want to be looked down upon by others all your life?
However, to be honest, this old madman is indeed unreliable according to what you said. It is definitely not a good idea to learn from this old madman..."
"Who is the old lunatic!" Before Ye Liting finished his words, an old man rushed out from the woods behind Ye Liting.
Ye Fei and his son were startled and quickly took a step back.
When I looked carefully, I saw that it was the old man who had escaped before.
But the ragged old man looked Ye Fei and Ye Liting up and down and asked, "Who are you to Ye Changsheng?"
"Senior, do you really know my father?" Ye Liting seemed surprised.
"Are you Ye Changsheng's son?" The old man first looked Ye Liting up and down, and then turned his gaze to Ye Fei: "So, you are Ye Changsheng's grandson Ye Fei?"
"Uh..." Ye Fei was stunned, and looked at Ye Liting. The father and son nodded together.
They were all surprised that the old man actually knew the old man.
It seems that at least this person is indeed the old man's old friend, but it is also true that he is not very reliable.
"You've come just in time!" The old man suddenly stretched out his hands to Ye Liting's abdomen happily, "Quick, borrow as many spiritual stones as you have and I'll return them tomorrow. I have to settle the debt I owe to these people, so that they don't come up the mountain to harass me every day!"
As he was speaking, the old man had already found the bag that Ye Liting used to store his spirit stones.
After opening the bag, the old man immediately looked disgusted and said, "Isn't your Ye family one of the four major families in Tianluo City?
Why are you so poor that you only bring two or three hundred spirit stones with you when you go out?
"If you don't have 80,000 Spiritual Stones with you when you go out, how dare you go out?"
Ye Liting: “…”
Ye Liting looked at the old man in confusion.
No matter how poor I am, I am still better off than you, right?
At least I didn't start searching for spirit stones on you right away!
At least no one is blocking my door to collect debts!
If you were really like this, you wouldn't dare go out without spirit stones, because someone would block the door...
Of course, Ye Liting could only think about these words in his heart. After all, the other person was an elder who knew his grandfather, so he couldn't say it directly.
But after the old man complained to Ye Liting for a few words, he suddenly looked at Ye Fei and said, "You are here to bring your son to me to be my disciple, right? You only brought these few spirit stones, and you still want to be my disciple? Dream on!"
"Senior, you misunderstood. We are not here to become your disciples!" After Ye Liting came to his senses, he hurriedly reached out to take back the spirit stone from the old man's hand. However, the old man retracted his hand and immediately stuffed the spirit stone into his arms: "Forget it, for your father's sake, this little spirit stone can be regarded as a deposit. You go back and get the money quickly, and he can stay in Qianxian Sect for now!"
"Huh?" This time it was Ye Fei's turn to be confused.
Is this considered kidnapping?
Why does it feel like you're using money to ransom someone?
However, Ye Fei had no time to resist, because as soon as the old man finished speaking, he grabbed his shoulders and jumped up.
Swish!
The old man just took Ye Fei and disappeared in front of Ye Liting.
"Ah?" This made Ye Liting dumbfounded.
Teleport?
Teleportation that can only be performed by those in the Dan Yuan realm?
It turns out that my dad’s old friend is actually a hidden master!
