“Young Madam. ” Shadow Thirteen considerately opened the bag hanging on his chest, took out a box of snacks, and handed it to her.
Yu Wan opened the box and only calmed down after eating seventeen to eighteen pieces of osmanthus cake. “Now, only Yan Jiuchao and my Dad are left.”
In a beautiful place with pleasant scenery, Yan Jiuchao stood quietly by the stream and looked at the waterfall not far away. Unlike the fog Yu Wan and the others encountered, Yan Jiuchao walked all the way with birdsong and flowers.
As he walked, he came to such a place that seemed like the residence on immortal.
The stream was clear to the bottom, and there were palm-sized fish swimming around. The stones underwater had been polished by the tide until they were round and smooth, reflecting dazzling light under the refraction of the stream.
Yan Jiuchao bowed and reached his slender fingers into his hand. The stream was cool to the bone. The fish that were originally swimming around seemed to have been frightened and dispersed with a whoosh.
Yan Jiuchao picked up a stone the size of a pigeon’s egg, played with it, and threw it back into the water. Not far away, the courtyard flowers were blooming and falling, and smoke curled up from the chimneys.
Yan Jiuchao followed the direction of the smoke and came to a peach forest. There was a family in the depths of the peach forest, and a fence half the height of a person surrounded a simple and elegant courtyard.
The courtyard door made of a fence was open, and Yan Jiuchao walked in. However, the moment he crossed the threshold, a row of cold arrows shot at him. Just as it was about to hit his heart, he did not even bat an eyelid and let the row of arrows pass through his body.
“Child’s play.” A certain young master ignored this illusion and walked towards the room with a cold expression.
A few more rows of arrows shot at him, but he did not dodge at all. Just as he was about to step onto the corridor, another arrow shot over. This time, Yan Jiuchao attacked. His eyes narrowed, and a powerful internal energy burst out, shattering the arrow.
The arrows in front were all illusions, and the last one was real. However, after being deceived by illusions many times, ordinary people would think that the last one was also fake. It was not only because of inertia, but also because they did not have time to screen and judge.
“Young man, how did you see through my illusion?” An old voice came from the room.
As this voice fell, the scene around them changed. The courtyard that was originally filled with peach blossoms was gone, replaced by a dark and cold Yin residence. The bright and beautiful sunlight also dissipated at this moment. The sky was gloomy, as if the sky was about to change.
Yan Jiuchao’s eyes flickered as the door to the Yin Manor opened. Yan Jiuchao strode in.
“You really have the guts to come in?” The old voice sounded again.
Yan Jiuchao said casually, “If I don’t come in, how can I capture you?”
“You still want to capture me?” The owner of the voice seemed to have heard a huge joke and laughed out loud in the room. That cold laughter was like a malicious ghost from hell.
Yan Jiuchao was not frightened by his laughter at all. He only looked around indifferently and said, “Your house is very ugly. I don’t want to stay any longer.
Do you want to come out yourself, or should I capture you?”
“It’s been a long time since I’ve met such an arrogant person. You’re quite capable to be able to find this place. You have to know that those people who trespassed on the island in the past all died halfway! You’re so powerful that I can’t bear to kill you. Why don’t you stay and accompany me? Kowtow to me three times in the courtyard and I’ll accept you as my disciple!”
“What benefits are there in being your disciple?” Yan Jiuchao asked indifferently.
“That depends on your comprehension. If you make me happy, I might teach you all my skills.”
Yan Jiuchao nodded. “You’re talking about these illusions that look good but are useless?”
“Kid!” The old man was furious. The central room of the Yin Manor suddenly opened, and dozens of poisonous arrows shot towards Yan Jiuchao.
Yan Jiuchao flicked his sleeve and shattered the poisonous arrow.
“Longevity Technique? Kid! You’re from the Sorcerer Clan? No, you have the aura of a Saint King! What… what’s your relationship with the Sacred Clan?!”
“None,” Yan Jiuchao said.
“The people of the Sacred Clan actually barged into my territory. It seems that they still don’t think that teaching them a lesson is enough! I originally wanted to take you in as my disciple on account of your outstanding talent, but since you’re from the Sacred Clan, I can’t keep you..”
