"Yixiao, when did you acknowledge a mortal as your teacher?”
"Um, I met him two months ago."
"You're a dignified elder of the Ten Thousand Flower Sect, and you've lived for more than a thousand years. How can you casually acknowledge a mortal in his twenties as your teacher?”
"What's so good about calligraphy and painting? If you really like calligraphy and painting, there are plenty of them in the sect.”
"It's really not compatible to acknowledge mortals as teachers. Next time, don't interact too much.”
"Got it, Martial Aunt."
On the way back the next day, Niu Miaosi was still talking about this, and Bai Yixiao could only reply vaguely.
There was no other way. The elders of the entire Ten Thousand Flower Sect were considered his elders. They had watched him grow up since he was young. No matter how high his achievements were, he had to obediently listen to them.
The next day, Su Yuan bid farewell to Li Hong Ye and Li Shi Lan and headed towards Little Yan Town alone.
Li Hongye hired a carriage for him.
This year's annual party was not very pleasant, but Su Yuan did not care much. He thought that he might not come again next time.
The road was still covered in snow, and the snowflakes fell from the sky again.
The winter here was slightly cold, but it was also a beautiful scene. The earth had become much calmer and quieter at this moment.
"Sir, there's a passerby who wants to hitch a ride.”
Halfway through the journey, the voice of the coachman rang out from outside the carriage.
Su Yuan lifted the curtain and saw the coachman carrying a few Spirit Coins into his pocket. Clearly, he had received the money.
Turning his gaze, Su Yuan saw the figure of a slightly thin man. He was dressed in coarse linen clothes, and his face was ordinary, but his eyes were filled with determination.
"Sure, let him come up." Su Yuan said with a smile.
"Thank you, thank you." The skinny man's face lit up as he jumped onto the carriage. He seemed to be a martial artist.
"Hello, my name is Zhan Zhenghao, I'm a rogue cultivator.”The man who called himself Zhan Zhenghao looked very gentle.
"My name is Su Yuan. Nice to meet you." Su Yuan said with a smile.
"Brother Su Yuan, are you also going to Little Yan Town? I'm really sorry to trouble you to give me a ride. I'm really grateful.”
"Haha, you're too polite."
"I'm sorry, I'm a little tired. I want to sleep for a while, so I won't disturb you." Zhan Zhenghao saw that Su Yuan was just a mortal and relaxed.
He did look exhausted, as if he hadn't slept for days.
After saying this, he lay down in the carriage and fell asleep.
Su Yuan looked at him. He was a spirit master level cultivator, but he only had a bag and a short knife.
The carriage continued on its journey, and Su Yuan did not take the initiative to talk to him. Zhan Zheng Hao slept for an entire day. When night fell, the carriage arrived at Little Yan Town, and he woke up just in time.
"Brother, thank you.”
When they arrived at Little Yan Town, Zhan Zhenghao jumped off the carriage and left in a hurry.
Su Yuan watched him disappear into the night and ignored him. When the carriage arrived at his house, he got out of the carriage.
The next morning, a commotion broke out on the street.
When he opened the door, Su Yuan heard a piece of bad news.
Last night, the family of an Incineration Moon Sect disciple had been slaughtered. Now, the entire city had been sealed off. Many disciples were chasing after the murderer.
The portrait on the posters was the thin man they met yesterday, Zhan Zhenghao.
Hearing this news, Su Yuan's heart shook. He really did not expect Zhan Zheng Hao to be so ruthless. He actually killed the entire family of the Incineration Moon Sect's disciple in one night.
This news spread throughout the entire city, and everyone in Little Yan Town was talking about it. It was considered big news.
In the cultivation world, fighting and killing were common.
All the towns were under the jurisdiction of the sect. After the disciples of the sect retired, they would be assigned to each town as administrators by the sect according to their actual performance.
The administrator could also recruit mortal warriors as guards to govern the town.
In fact, a sect represented the core of an empire. In fact, it was not much different from the so-called empire dynasty.
Today, there were many more disciples of the Incineration Moon Sect who had come to the Small Evolution Town than usual. Not only were ordinary warriors searching from house to house, but the city gates and other important exits were also strictly guarded by the disciples of the Incineration Moon Sect.
This search lasted for a day and a night. Zhan Zhenghao hid himself very well and I haven't been caught yet.
Now, the town was in a panic.
Su Yuan was also interrogated by a few patrolling guards, but he naturally did not say anything. If he said anything more, he might be arrested as an accomplice.
In the cultivation world, strength was everything. Sometimes, it was unreasonable and unreasonable.
Su Yuan had a deep understanding of this. Even if he knew something that had nothing to do with him, he would pretend not to know.
"Hmm?"
At dusk, Su Yuan closed the shop as usual. Just as he was about to wash up, he heard a strange sound coming from the courtyard.
He walked towards the kitchen and paused. He saw a dispirited figure rummaging through something.
"There are two rolls in the pot."
Hearing this, the dispirited figure was startled. He turned to look at Su Yuan with an extremely cautious gaze.
"You seem to be injured? I'll go find some medicine for you."
Su Yuan looked at the bloodstains on his body and did not ask any more questions. He turned around and left.
After a while, he walked in with a medical kit.
"Do you want me to help you bandage it?"
"I'll do it myself, thank you." Zhan Zhenghao glanced at Su Yuan, took the medical kit and started fiddling with it.
"You don't seem surprised at all." Zhan Zhenghao treated the wounds on his body while sizing up the mortal scholar in front of him.
"I'm just used to it. There's nothing to be surprised about.”Su Yuan smiled and said casually.
Zhan Zheng Hao was a little speechless in his heart. He sized up Su Yuan again and said," Aren't you going to ask me why? Or are you not afraid that I will kill you?"
"I don't think you're the kind of person who doesn't know right from wrong, so I'm not afraid.”Su Yuan smiled again." As for the reason, I'm not interested in knowing even if you don't tell me. If you want to tell me, I might as well listen."”
Zhan Zhenghao was stunned. The calm heart of the mortal in front of him was beyond his expectations.
She really didn't expect that there would be such a man among mortals who had a heart as still as water, as if he had seen through the mortal world.
After a moment of silence, Zhan Zhenghao still said a bunch of words.
"I have someone I love deeply. Her name is Wu Ruixue, and she is a disciple of the Incineration Moon Sect.”
"We've been together for more than thirty years. We met in Little Yan Town. At first, we were in love, and we made a vow of eternal love. We grew old together, cultivated together, and improved together.”
"She's a promiscuous woman who attracts bees and butterflies. She's a rotten egg. She's vain, unchaste, and has cheated on me frequently. I love her so much, but she betrayed me.”
Listening to Zhan Zhenghao's words, Su Yuan guessed in his heart that this person was trapped by love. Because of the word 'love', he wanted to take revenge on the woman's family.
"Actually, that's not the main point. I killed her family because they looked down on me. They humiliated me in public and beat and scolded me. That woman quarreled with her family because of me. Because she loved me, she sacrificed a lot.”
