However, under Shennong's gentle gaze, he ultimately chose to give up and turned his attention to the young man wearing a headband.
"I'm warning you, don't do anything that will put Master Shennong in a difficult position."
"Otherwise, we will absolutely not forgive you!"
She was still very uneasy about this stranger who had suddenly arrived in the countryside, and directly made a verbal threat.
He then seemed not to want any answer, and after making those harsh remarks, he jogged away along the dirt road toward the edge of the village.
"Please don't mind it,"
“Yu Liu didn’t mean any harm.”
"Please come in."
In response, Shennong, the doctor, seemed somewhat helpless as he tried to comfort the two strangers in front of him, displaying the demeanor of a kind and benevolent elder in every gesture.
"Ah."
Huang nodded slightly, showing no particular respect or courtesy, and went inside as instructed.
Ying, who was standing beside him, bowed slightly and politely said, "Excuse me," before following her master into the stone house.
Clearly, this gentle and kind elder had already made a good impression on him.
That's why we treat each other with the same level of politeness.
"Our meeting was a bit rushed, and I haven't had a chance to ask your names yet."
After sitting down in the minimalist stone house, Shennong maintained his approachable attitude, pouring water and asking questions as he did so.
My name is…
Upon hearing the question, Yingxuan, who already held some respect and goodwill towards this kind elder, immediately wanted to answer.
But just as he was about to leave, he glanced at the young man beside him and suddenly stopped talking.
It's clear that they're concerned about the current master-servant dynamic.
"Um, is it inconvenient to tell you directly?"
"Well, for ninjas, it's true that they shouldn't reveal their identities so easily."
Seeing the girl in his field of vision who seemed to want to say something but hesitated, Shennong Physician tactfully smoothed things over.
"shortage,"
"Uchiha Ara".
The old man's attempt to provoke him was clumsy, but it wasn't a secret that needed to be hidden anyway.
Therefore, Huang answered quite naturally.
"The Uchiha clan."
Upon hearing the name, Shennong murmured the unusual surname repeatedly.
Although his face did not show any particular emotion, his strong fingers holding the cup trembled slightly, causing the tea to overflow the cup and spill out.
"My name is Ying,"
"He's Teacher Huang's apprentice,"
"From the earth spider clan."
Meanwhile, seeing her master speak first, the girl, who was already prepared to respond, followed suit by introducing herself, even proudly revealing her family affiliation.
However, the homeless doctor didn't seem to show much interest in the latter's name.
After simply saying "Sorry, I have an old hand injury and accidentally spilled the tea," he got right to the point for the evening:
"May I ask, sir, you are from the Uchiha clan, have traveled a great distance to see me? Is there something urgent you need me for?"
As he handed over the cup, he tried to suppress a certain emotion and asked.
However, just as Huang was about to stop this theatrical exchange, a scream suddenly rang out from outside.
"You, who are you?"
"You want... Ah!!"
The owner of that voice seemed to be...
"Raindrop!"
He was the tomboy who should have left.
Shennong, after letting out a cry, rushed out of the stone house.
Chapter 591 If you care, then just erase it.
The sudden scream shattered the tranquility of the night.
Seeing the Shennong physician rushing out the door, Ying couldn't help but feel nervous.
Ultimately, on her first long trip, she still couldn't completely shake off the terrifying environment she had been in.
The calm they felt was built upon the warmth of the human town they were in, but this sudden scream was like a sharp pair of scissors, easily shattering their sense of security.
"Master, teacher."
"It seems like something has happened."
She glanced at the young man beside her, who remained unmoved by the anomaly and even quietly sipped his tea, and whispered a reminder.
"Ah."
"I didn't expect those guys to arrive so quickly."
"As expected of a ninja who once dared to declare war on the five great nations simultaneously, he certainly has some special skills."
As he put down his teacup, Huang slowly stood up.
The reason they weren't in a hurry was that the entire village was under the insects' surveillance, and so far no one had any power to escape their control.
And that monster
In other words, the prey of this trip has not yet been summoned, or rather, activated.
"Who are you?"
"Let go of Yu Liu!"
"what!"
Therefore, even when Shennong's indignant questioning and warnings once again entered his ears, followed by the sounds of clashing weapons and painful screams, it did not cause him to show any impatience.
However, while Huang was able to remain completely calm at this moment, his little apprentice beside him gradually lost his composure and calmness in such an environment.
"Master, that sounded like the scream of the physician Shennong."
A sense of panic about the unknown outside world was clearly visible in her eyes, prompting her to tentatively remind the young man beside her once again.
"Master Shennong!!"
Before she could finish speaking, another shrill and desperate female voice shattered the tranquility that once belonged to the village.
That was Yu Liu's voice!
At the same time, chaos and commotion began outside, with a series of questions echoing in the darkness, clearly indicating that the villagers had been awakened by the sudden commotion.
"I need to go out for a bit. Do you want to come with me, or stay here?"
"I'll set up a protective barrier for you if you stay here, don't worry."
At that moment, Ying finally received a question from her master, but the latter remained as calm as ever.
Such a cold attitude left the girl unsure whether to describe it as calm in the face of adversity or as the cold-bloodedness described in the comments.
'Blood Demon'—that seems to be the terrifying title bestowed upon him by the world.
"I,"
Seeing her master's indifferent gaze and the several talismans swaying between his fingers, Ying's attitude changed from eagerly wanting to go out and find out what was going on to waver.
A wise sixth sense was telling her that she should stay safely in this safe haven and wait for her master to resolve all the troubles that had arisen.
However, another intuition whispered in his ear: if he chose to stay here, he would directly miss the opportunity to enter the other person's world.
The so-called master-disciple relationship will forever remain a mere formality.
This is definitely not the result that my grandfather wanted to see by willingly giving up the family's secret techniques, nor is it the path I should have taken when I chose to become a ninja.
Of course, the most important point is,
"I'm going with my master, no matter what happens or what dangers we encounter!"
the most important is,
She believed that whether she stayed in the stone chamber or went out to face the changes that had occurred, she would protect herself if she stayed in the former!
Although her master had been aloof throughout the journey and remained remarkably calm when others encountered trouble, her intuition, unique to women, told her that a warm side, distinct from his cold demeanor, was beating within him.
From the initial exchange proposal at Mount Katsuragi, to cleansing his grandfather's old wounds, to indulging in letting himself close his eyes and traverse the rainforest.
The scenes of their time together, which lasted less than a day, played out in his mind frame by frame, like a slideshow.
Having chosen this path, she couldn't simply stand outside this world and watch!
"I want to go with my master!"
Driven by this thought, Ying looked at the young man beside her once again and repeated the words.
"so,"
"Well."
Having obtained the answer, Huang promptly put away the talisman in his hand.
This calm response suggests that no matter what the girl says, it won't touch her heart.
At least for this moment, that's what Hotaru thought.
However, just as his newly appointed master turned and walked to the door, he abruptly added:
"Since you've chosen to work with me, then stick close to me."
