Rongshan thought for a moment, "Perhaps my master made a mistake this time, or perhaps it's a new move because he doesn't want to play chess..."

Ultimately, he decided to take the two of them to see the Old Celestial Master.

Rongshan led them through the winding paths of the back mountain, finally arriving before the Old Celestial Master.

Looking up, he saw the old master's extremely serious expression and Lu Mingfei's tense and sweaty posture.

"this?......"

Chapter 257 The Old Celestial Master

Why do they act like they're about to fight as soon as they meet?

Rongshan was completely baffled.

He scratched his head awkwardly, then reported everything he had seen at the entrance.

“Master, I’ve been standing at the door for half an hour, and there’s no ‘old friend’ you mentioned at all, just these two children.”

"Could it be that your 'old friend' is afraid of seeing you and runs away first?"

The old master remained unmoved, staring intently at Lu Mingfei with narrowed eyes.

After a long while, he finally looked away.

“That should be it. Also, I’ll have a private talk with the child. You take her to rest first,” the old master said to Rongshan.

Rong Shan nodded and led Liu Yanyan to the guest room.

"Uncle-Master, I would like to pay my respects to the Ancestral Master." Liu Yanyan turned around and glanced at the grandfather and granddaughter, whose atmosphere was still awkward.

"also."

Rongshan changed direction and arrived at the lobby.

Even outside of holidays, groups of tourists would gather to burn incense, kowtow, or seek divine guidance.

A young monk was answering tourists' questions, highlighting the positive aspects and providing significant emotional value. As for the negative aspects...

Incense sticks were burning in the incense burner, and wisps of smoke drifted gently.

"Uncle-Master, is the Ancestral Master efficacious?" Liu Yanyan asked, looking at the endless stream of worshippers.

"I don't know. It might not work because you didn't hear it. Try repeating it a few more times and it might work."

"..."

"Are you seeking a marriage partner?"

"No, I pray for peace."

Liu Yanyan picked up a coin as thick as her forearm and swept some money over it.

"Let's treat our senior uncles and the old Celestial Master to a good meal tomorrow," she said to Rongshan with a smile.

“This…” Rong Shan didn’t know what to say, so he could only agree.

Liu Yanyan lit the incense, bowed devoutly, and placed it in the incense burner.

Whether it works or not, it's a kind of psychological comfort, and one of the few things she can do.

Only the grandfather and grandson remained in the pavilion on the back hill.

Lu Mingfei glanced at the chessboard and immediately said, "The advisor's chess skills are superb, defeating his opponent in utter defeat."

The old master didn't respond to Lu Mingfei's pointed question, but instead gestured for him to sit down.

His serious expression remained, but instead grew even more solemn, and his aura became increasingly sharp.

Those narrowed eyes were like a precise scalpel, dissecting Lu Mingfei, as if trying to see through his heart, liver, spleen, and lungs.

Lu Mingfei sat nervously to the side, feeling uneasy under that gaze. The old master's aura was so cold that it made him very uncomfortable.

He mentally encouraged himself: I'm already a powerful figure, even the Dragon King is no match for me, how could I be afraid of the Old Celestial Master? That's right, I'm very powerful, I'm very...

“Mingfei…”

"Yes, yes..." The next second, Lu Mingfei revealed his true form, responding to the old master in a humble voice, looking exactly like someone who didn't know what mistake he had made and was being taken to the teacher's office.

Nervous and embarrassed.

"Master, what are your orders?" A fawning attitude once again appeared on Lu Mingfei's face.

This time, the old master was somewhat bewildered, as if thinking, "This isn't right."

"Want to play a game?" the old master asked, pointing to the Go board.

"I don't know, please don't tease me."

The old master didn't relax at all and casually asked, "Chu Lan has been causing quite a stir lately. It seems you got involved when he arrived at the Tang Sect?"

Lu Mingfei dared not relax. Both heirs of the Celestial Master's Mansion were at All-Access, and he, the "outsider monk," was also at All-Access. He knew immediately that they were asking about Zhang Chulan and Zhang Lingyu.

“Uncle Lingyu is doing well by Chu Lan’s side. With Sister Bao’er taking care of her, there’s no need to worry about being deceived. As for Chu Lan, you know very well that there are few people who can deceive him. Moreover, he is very shrewd. He learns his lesson after being deceived once and won’t fall for it again.”

After reporting on the situation of the two of them, Lu Mingfei changed the subject and returned to the original issue of the Tang Clan.

"To be honest, I was recruited by the company because of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, so it's inconvenient for me to participate in the Tang Sect with Chu Lan. However, I provided a little help, so it should be fine."

When the old master heard the news about his beloved disciple and grand-disciple, his expression relaxed slightly, and the serious look on his face gradually faded.

"The Eight Extraordinary Skills?" The old Celestial Master was astonished. He hadn't been down the mountain for so long, and the area below had changed so much.

No way.

Or is it that his old bones are truly too old?

The Eight Extraordinary Skills nurtured a Lu Mingfei?!

"Master, what are you thinking about?" Lu Mingfei waved his hand in front of the old master.

The old master withdrew his serious expression, and Lu Mingfei immediately felt much less pressured and became less reserved.

"As people get older, they tend to reminisce about the past," the old master chuckled.

"What brings you here this time? You're not here to ask for lightning magic, are you? At your current level, lightning magic won't be of much use to you."

"No, we just came out to have fun." Lu Mingfei understood the principle of not trying to do too much at once. Even if he was exceptionally talented, he should specialize in some skills to avoid becoming a jack-of-all-trades and mastering nothing in the end.

"If you really want the second half of the Thunder Technique, this old bone of mine might not be able to stop you, but then you'll have to become a Celestial Master." The old Celestial Master looked at Lu Mingfei with a meaningful smile.

Lu Mingfei thought for a moment, "I would never do something so treasonous, Master, you are overthinking it."

He felt that the "Old Celestial Master" likely had another meaning: that he and Zhang Chulan had a good relationship, and that someone with a different surname could become a Celestial Master? He would probably change his surname, and Zhang Chulan's status as a close friend of the Celestial Master was even more extraordinary.

He wanted to use himself to protect Zhang Chulan.

Zhang Chulan seemed to have mentioned before that the entire Luo Tian Grand Ceremony was held for him.

"Chu Lan has helped me a lot. He has helped me to see things clearly and has helped me with things within my ability."

Upon hearing this, the old Celestial Master grinned. Despite being over a hundred years old, his voice was loud and powerful, completely at odds with his aged appearance.

"Good, much smarter than that kid Lingyu."

How did Zhang Lingyu become the unit of measurement in the Old Celestial Master's mouth?

Lu Mingfei didn't voice his complaints.

"Stay as long as you want. If you don't like the place, your uncles can tidy it up for you. There are plenty of empty rooms on the mountain, so you can come and make it lively." The old master regained his usual amiable demeanor.

The "teacher," the Old Celestial Master, issued an ultimatum: you haven't done anything wrong, you're just asking a question.

Lu Mingfei's heart finally relaxed, and he said that he had settled down at the foot of the mountain. Then a question arose.

"Master, aren't you planning to pass it on to Zhang Chulan?"

The old master was somewhat annoyed after hearing this, looking disappointed and disappointed. "I did pass it on, on the very day that Quanxing made a scene. That kid didn't accept it and even ran away."

"So be it, it's fate," the old master said with a sigh of relief.

Lu Mingfei felt that there must be a reason why Zhang Chulan did not accept the Celestial Master's inheritance, but that was not a question he should care about.

Their stay at the Celestial Master's Mansion was short; before the holiday ended, they returned to Kyoto.

I returned to that little nest.

Pushing open the door reveals Hachika sprawled on the bed, while Sadako intently watches television.

Although it's unclear how Sadako could see the TV with her thick hair obscuring her view, it's obvious she was thoroughly enjoying it.

During this trip, some space was left in the backpack's inner compartment, and the plush toy I won in the ring toss game was sent home by courier well in advance.

Liu Yanyan's work was no longer busy; she occasionally developed some magical artifacts and made some protective magical artifacts.

Lu Mingfei would go there to relieve his boredom when he had nothing to do.

The two were planning where to travel next.

Lu Mingfei looked up and saw a figure he hadn't seen in a long time.

She still had long, jet-black hair, simply tied in a ponytail, but her face looked haggard, as if she hadn't had a good rest for several days.

This time, the acquaintance did not hide upon seeing Lu Mingfei, unlike the scene when he encountered the plague god before.

This made Lu Mingfei, who wanted to have some fun, feel bored.

Good morning, Master Wang.

"No, I'm no longer a Wudang disciple." Wang Ye took a few deep breaths to calm himself and quietly waited for Lu Mingfei to approach.

But Lu Mingfei's every step was like a heavy hammer striking his nerves, constantly echoing in his brain.

He now understands somewhat why some sorcerers go mad.

Who wouldn't go crazy after seeing this thing!

The echoes in his mind gradually reached their peak, almost bursting out of his skull.

Wang Ye shouted almost instinctively:

"and many more!"
