After leaving, Chen Qingyuan could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Serving the black python every day had given him too much psychological pressure.
" You kid, not bad! " Zhao Yichuan stared at Chen Qingyuan, his tone slightly low.
Chen Qingyuan gave an awkward smile and didn't say anything.
" Your master wants to see you. Hurry up and go! " Otherwise, Zhao Yichuan would definitely have chatted with Chen Qingyuan for a while to get a deeper understanding.
" Yes. " Chen Qingyuan bowed and left quickly without any hesitation, for fear that Zhao Yichuan would stop him.
As Song Ningyan was Zhao Yichuan's apprentice, she had nowhere to go and could only stay there.
" Since you are my disciple, you must be ready to endure hardships. Come with me. " Although Song Ningyan's performance was acceptable so far, she hadn't fully satisfied Zhao Yichuan, so more evaluations and trials were necessary.
Song Ningyan closely followed Zhao Yichuan and started a new round of trials.
For the sake of her future, Song Ningyan would not back down and would persevere.
Chen Qingyuan returned to Yunxi Residence, changed into clean clothes, and went to his master Yu Chenran's residence.
Yu Chenran lived in Baiyan Palace, which had beautiful scenery. No matter from which angle you looked at it, it was like a landscape painting rarely seen in the world. Sometimes there were wild geese soaring in the clouds, and spiritual fish leaping out of the water.
By the lakeside, Yu Chenran sat in an ancient pavilion in the outer courtyard, wearing a dark - colored cloth robe, with a kind - looking face.
" Master. " Chen Qingyuan walked to the outside of the pavilion and saluted.
" Good. It seems that you have gained a lot over the years. " Yu Chenran looked at Chen Qingyuan a few times and nodded with satisfaction.
" It's okay. " Chen Qingyuan grinned.
" Come and sit down. " Yu Chenran signaled.
So, Chen Qingyuan sat opposite Yu Chenran, feeling a little reserved.
" Master, why did you call me over? " After a moment of silence, Chen Qingyuan couldn't help asking.
" I want you to do something. Go to Dongtu. " Yu Chenran said.
" Dongtu? " Chen Qingyuan's expression changed, very surprised. " Master, what am I going there for? "
The world was divided into five regions: Dizhou, Beihuang, Xijiang, Nanyu, and Dongtu.
Each region contained thousands of star domains, and each star domain had tens of thousands of stars.
" A long time ago, I owed a favor to an eminent monk in Dongtu. A few days ago, that eminent monk crushed the Two - Realm Message Talisman to send a message asking for my help. Since you are my disciple, you should help me repay this favor, right? "
Yu Chenran said with a just - like - reason tone.
Chen Qingyuan really wanted to refuse, but when he saw Yu Chenran's unyielding eyes, he felt a little scared and said tactfully, " Master, isn't it inappropriate to ask your disciple to repay the favor you owe? "
" Do you not want to help me? " Yu Chenran asked back.
" Disciple doesn't mean that. I'm just afraid that my ability is not enough and I may make things worse. " Chen Qingyuan quickly came up with a reasonable excuse.
" You don't need to worry about that. As long as you go, you will definitely be able to help. Moreover, if you go, things will be more efficient. " In fact, Yu Chenran saw Chen Qingyuan's reluctance but didn't point it out.
" I'm just a Golden - Core - level cultivator. Is it really necessary? " Chen Qingyuan muttered, feeling that his master was trying to deceive him.
" It's settled. There's no room for refusal. " In order to make Chen Qingyuan give up the idea of not wanting to go to Dongtu, Yu Chenran put on a serious look.
" Okay. " Since it had come to this, Chen Qingyuan knew he had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
Seeing Chen Qingyuan agree, Yu Chenran put away his solemn expression and showed a kind smile, " Qingyuan is the most obedient. Good boy. "
It's like coaxing a three - year - old child!
Chen Qingyuan looked resentful, on the verge of crying.
Originally, Chen Qingyuan thought he could have a few days of peace, but he didn't expect that just after leaving the black python's control, he had to go to a new and unknown dangerous place. It was really hard.
" Master, is this trip dangerous? " At this point, Chen Qingyuan needed to know the specific situation of the matter in Dongtu.
" It's not dangerous. " Yu Chenran replied.
Hearing this answer, Chen Qingyuan's heart tightened. He must take all kinds of life - saving trump cards with him and not be the slightest bit careless.
" Can you tell me what the specific matter is? " Chen Qingyuan asked.
" You'll know when you get there. " Yu Chenran smiled meaningfully.
" Master, you can't treat your disciple like this! " Seeing the smile on Yu Chenran's lips, Chen Qingyuan felt extremely disappointed.
" What do you mean by treating you badly? I'm doing this for your own good. " Yu Chenran stroked his beard, speaking righteously.
" Do you think I would believe it? " Since he had already been forced into this, Chen Qingyuan wasn't afraid of Yu Chenran anymore. He picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.
" You'll understand my good intentions in the future. " Yu Chenran said with an ambiguous smile.
" Hmph! " Chen Qingyuan pursed his lips, looking helpless.
I've said such deceptive words so many times myself. How could they deceive me?
Chen Qingyuan didn't believe a single word, or even a single character, of Yu Chenran's.
" Prepare today and leave tomorrow morning. " Yu Chenran calculated the time and knew they couldn't delay.
" So soon! " Hearing the travel arrangements, Chen Qingyuan's eyes widened.
" It's urgent, and time is precious. There can't be any delay. " Yu Chenran said.
" Dongtu is far away, and I may encounter many troubles. Won't you give me some self - defense treasures, master? " Chen Qingyuan made his meaning very clear.
" When you go out for training, you should rely on your own abilities. If you have too many self - defense treasures, it won't have the effect of tempering. " Yu Chenran politely refused.
Chen Qingyuan thought, " Master, you're really stingy! "
Chen Qingyuan had thought about refusing to go, but after thinking about it, he decided to go.
After all, he couldn't oppose his master. One should learn to submit.
Moreover, submitting to one's own master wasn't shameful.
The next day, under Yu Chenran's urging, Chen Qingyuan embarked on the journey to Dongtu.
Yu Chenran told Chen Qingyuan the shortest route and gave him a teleportation jade talisman. With this jade talisman, he could use the large teleportation arrays in various star domains, greatly shortening the travel time.
According to Yu Chenran's arrangement, Chen Qingyuan could reach Dongtu in at most one month by using the large teleportation arrays everywhere.
In the past, without the conditions of teleportation arrays, it would take Chen Qingyuan several months to cross two star domains. Now that he had more resources, his travel speed was much faster.
" Master, disciple is leaving. "
" Well, have a safe journey. "
" Master, I'm really leaving. "
Chen Qingyuan looked back every few steps, with a reluctant look in his eyes. He really didn't want to be sent on this task. Most importantly, he wanted to get some life - saving means from Yu Chenran.
" Go. " Yu Chenran waved his hand.
" Master, will you miss disciple? " Chen Qingyuan walked a few steps and then turned back to ask.
" Yes. " Yu Chenran nodded slightly.
" Master... " Chen Qingyuan turned back again.
This time, before Chen Qingyuan could finish speaking, Yu Chenran kicked him through the air, cursing, " Are you never going to stop, boy? "
Whoosh!
Chen Qingyuan was kicked out of the small world of Dao - Yi Academy and appeared in a corner of a star domain in Beihuang.
