Evergreen Immortal.

Chapter 5 Seventy Years Old

[When you first entered the martial arts world, you not only averted a fatal disaster, but also turned enemies into friends, and realized the true meaning of the martial arts world. The martial arts world is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom.]

[Complete the mission, enter the arena, rewards are being calculated.]

[Task rating S+, reward doubled. 】

【Get 50 achievement points! 】

【Name: Li Rui】

【Age: 0】

[Talent: Wu Gu (rarely seen in a thousand years, born invincible)]

[Achievement: 50/100]

Li Rui paused and his pupils dilated slightly.

task?

It seems that those ambitious goals will not only earn achievement points when they are achieved, but will also earn corresponding points based on the host's performance during the completion process.

S+
The system was very satisfied with his performance when he first entered the world of martial arts and gave him a very high evaluation, granting him a full 50 achievement points in one go.

How can I not be satisfied?

He is already seventy years old. He has been through countless times in the martial arts world and has fallen into all the traps. If he is asked to enter the martial arts world for the first time now, it will be a perfect journey for him.

When I was twenty years old and just starting out in the business, I had a hard time getting a D. But when I was seventy years old, it was just right.

Seventy is indeed the age to do things!
With decades of experience, he can simply attack these elementary plots with a dimensionality reduction attack.

The beginning is important, but even if most people know it, it is almost impossible to do it perfectly.

Just like knowing that the college entrance examination is important in the previous life, it is the same if you fail to get into Tsinghua University. You will regret it only when you lose it.

But now he has been given another chance.

Of course you have to pass the level perfectly!

He only made a slight effort and got an S+ evaluation, and his achievement progress exceeded halfway.

The dark clouds in his heart dissipated, and Li Rui's mood suddenly became better.

"Azhao, mix the dry ingredients finely. Listen to me from now on, and I guarantee you'll have meat to eat."

"Master."

Ma Yang was originally acting arrogant in front of Wang Zhao, but when he turned around and saw Li Rui, he was as if he had seen a ghost.

Why isn't he dead yet?
Ma Yang looked at Li Rui who was fine, panicked and took half a step back.

He saw Li Rui in the black market at a glance, and then he came up with an idea. He told the black market crawlers that Li Rui was already seventy years old.

These people who call themselves Rongzimen do not just steal, they also commit murder and robbery.

Li Rui, an old man whose body was half buried in the ground, had almost no chance of surviving death when he encountered those vicious criminals.

He had already made plans to collect the body of his master. He would just cry a few tears and then sit safely in the seat of the groom.

It's incredible that Old Li appeared in front of him so pretty and lively, without any problem.

Waste, all waste!
Ma Yang cursed the skinny man a thousand times in his heart, and now he just hoped that the man didn't give him away.

"Master, you are back."

He forced a smile on his face.

"If you put too many beans, the horse will get bloated and eat less concentrated feed."

Li Rui glanced at the bloated bellies of the horses in the stable.

"Okay, Master."

Wang Zhao worked diligently as usual and picked out the beans from the hay.

"Master."

Seeing that Li Rui had no intention of talking to him, Ma Yang couldn't help but ask another question.

"Is there something?" Li Rui glanced at Ma Yang.

"It's okay."

Ma Yang finally decided not to confess. Although he didn't know what had happened, he was happy that nothing had to happen since his master didn't know about it.

"The old man is really tough. It seems we need to think of other ways."

Ma Yang lowered his head, a ruthless look flashing in his eyes.

"If you want to blame someone, blame it on the person you offended!"

The position of groom is important, in fact, it is very important. Horses are powerful weapons in this era and have many uses. The second master of the Zhu family once wanted to borrow a horse secretly, but was rejected by Li Rui. The second master had long been dissatisfied with Li Rui's cautious style.

Not long ago, he even hinted that if Ma Yang could get rid of Li Rui, he would become the new Ma Fu.

Ma Yang's originally cooled heart became restless again. He had been secretly observing Li Rui. Of course, the Zhu family could not take action, so they chose to go to the black market.

"How could I have made such a mistake back then. I accepted such a stupid apprentice."

Ma Yang thought he had concealed it well, but Li Rui still saw through his thoughts.

Be low-key when doing things. Either don't do it, or do it to the extreme. This is the principle that Li Rui taught Ma Yang back then.

Li Rui was teaching seriously, but now it seems that Ma Yang didn't listen to a word he said.

If it were in the past, if Li Rui had lived long enough, he might really help his disciple, but there are some things he can give that Ma Yang cannot take away.

As for now, I’ll study hard in my next life.

Real disappointment is never a big deal.

Two days later.

"Master, Brother Ma is dying."

Wang Zhao found Li Rui with an anxious look on his face.

Li Rui followed Wang Zhao to the house where they lived.

Ma Yang's eye sockets were sunken and his whole body looked emaciated as if he had been dehydrated. It was obvious that he had been tortured by the disease.

When Li Rui arrived, he was lying straight on the bed. Seeing that he didn't respond after calling him several times, Wang Zhao bravely stretched out his index finger to check his breath.

died
Wang Zhao sniffed in grief. He lived in the same room with Ma Yang, so it was inevitable that they had some feelings for each other. Seeing Ma Yang's miserable appearance, he thought of his future self.

These days, poor people suffer from many strange diseases. Medical conditions in ancient times were already backward, and many diseases could not be cured. Even if they could be cured, as servants, they had no money to pay for them.

He still remembers that before Ma Yang died, he first vomited and then vomited blood. He lay in bed wailing all day and all night. He looked so miserable.

The lives of untouchables are worthless.

When Ma Yang died, no one paid any attention to him. The Zhu family thought it was unlucky and worried that Ma Yang had contracted a contagious disease. In the end, Li Rui and Wang Zhao wrapped him in a mat and buried him in a deserted mountain outside the city. They put a wooden plaque on the body so that he would no longer be an unknown ghost.

After doing all this, Li Rui and Wang Zhao's lives returned to normal.

Ma Yang's mind was not on the stable to begin with, and he often did not work. Now that there was one less person, Wang Zhao did not feel more tired.

"Let's eat."

Li Rui asked Wang Zhao to sit down. Wang Zhao sat on a long bench and waited until Li Rui picked up his chopsticks before he could not wait to pick up a piece of food.

The Zhu family's servants actually had quite good food. They had white rice for every meal, and sometimes they could even eat meat during the Chinese New Year if the Zhu family was kind enough.

Wang Zhao's family was so poor that they couldn't afford food, so they sold themselves to the Zhu family, so they are very satisfied with their current life.

Speaking of which, the day before yesterday, the chef got a few pieces of braised pork. They smelled so delicious, but it was a pity that his share was snatched away by Ma Yang, so he didn’t even know what braised pork tasted like.

As Wang Zhao was thinking, he suddenly paused in his eating. He seemed to have thought of something and felt a chill down his spine.

He looked at Li Rui in front of him.

"I must be overthinking it."

Li Rui looked normal and chewed his food seriously.

It's just murder, why think too much about it.
