Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 817 The Old Man's Gift

Ye Qing and the others looked at Su Liuyun!

Su Liuyun was squatting not far away, eating something.

When Su Liuyun first met the old man, he had not yet awakened. Later, they did not stay on Xuan Yue Star for long, always leaving immediately after arriving!

Ye Qing never expected that the old man would actually want to take Su Liuyun as his disciple!

Although the old man had helped them get rid of the night-wandering ghosts, which could be considered saving their lives.

But Ye Qing always felt something was off about this apprenticeship arrangement, especially since it involved other people in the universe.

He dared not rashly hand Su Liuyun over to the other party.

Upon hearing this, and seeing that the old man truly posed no threat, the fur on Huangdi's body slowly fell off, and then it lay down beside Lin Qianyu!

"I won't become an apprentice!" Su Liuyun said, looking at Ye Qing beside her. "I want to stay with Ye Qing and the others!"

The old man wasn't angry. He smiled and said, "Child, everyone has their own path to walk! You are an Asura, and you have your own path as an Asura. Ye Qing has his own path to walk, and this girl too. They are all people who have been blessed by heaven and earth. If you follow them, you will not be able to walk your own path!"

"Although I may look destitute, I can guarantee that your progress will not be slower than theirs if you follow me!" the old man said with a smile. "Although I live in a remote corner of the world, I do not boast. There are countless people in this universe who want to become my disciples!"

"I still don't want to!" Su Liuyun shook her head like a rattle drum and said, "I've been begging for a living with my master. I finally met Ye Qing and can finally live a good life. Looking at your clothes and appearance, if I follow you, I'll probably have to go back to living that kind of life where I go hungry nine times out of three days. I don't want to be with you!"

"Uh!" The old man showed a hint of embarrassment.

“You won’t suffer if you follow him!” At that moment, the Yellow Emperor spoke up.

"Hmm?" Ye Qing looked at the Yellow Emperor in confusion.

The Yellow Emperor shrugged and said, "Although he looks kind, I can smell the terrifying killing intent within him. The path of slaughter is the path that Asuras should take. And Asuras are inherently very unpredictable; if one is not careful, they may lose themselves and become killing machines. I think it's a good thing that this little guy is able to control his killing by following this old man!"

The old man smiled and said, "Young man, don't worry. Although I am dressed in rags, it's because I'm used to showing myself this way. I am much richer than everyone here. I should be the richest person in the galaxy!"

"Really?" Su Liuyun asked, still somewhat skeptical.

“Of course it’s true!” the old man nodded.

Upon hearing this, Su Liuyun felt a little tempted. He subconsciously glanced at Ye Qing!

The old man then looked at Ye Qing and said, "Don't worry, if I had any ill intentions, you would all be dead long ago!"

Ye Qing had no doubt about this; the old man was far more mysterious than he had imagined!

"By the way, senior, I have something I'd like to ask you!" Ye Qing said, "You seem to know Senior Wang Tianfeng. I wonder what your relationship is?"

Xueying and Xueyun's expressions changed.

The old man smiled slightly and said, "I do know Wang Tianfeng. I once thought highly of him and was prepared to take him as my disciple. Unfortunately, he was indecisive and ultimately fell short!"

Ye Qing's expression shifted. He took a deep breath, turned to look at Su Liuyun, and nodded to her.

If someone can make even a dog like the emperor speak, and he is truly suited to Su Liuyun's path of martial arts, then Ye Qing naturally hopes to see Su Liuyun succeed!

Hearing this, Su Liuyun nodded and said, "Alright then, I'll become your disciple!"

Upon hearing this, the old man burst into laughter. He nodded to Su Liuyun, then turned his gaze to Yi Shuihan and said, "I originally came to find Asura today, but I said there would be an unexpected surprise!"

He looked at Yi Shuihan and said, "Would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Yi Shuihan was taken aback. He pointed to himself and asked, "Are you talking about me?"

Yi Shuihan also looked like an old man. He looked up at the old man with a strange expression.

On Earth, he was the person with the highest status and seniority in the entire world. Now that he wanted to become an apprentice, Yi Shuihan felt that something was strange.

Even though he knew that the old man in front of him had lived for countless years.

"I sought out Asura simply because he is Asura," the old man said. "But you are the most suitable to inherit my mantle. Although Wang Tianfeng bears some resemblance to me, I can sense that you are a perfect match for me!"

Yi Shuihan shook his head and said, "I have walked my own path! I have no intention of becoming a disciple! Nor can I become a disciple!"

"It seems you are the supreme ruler of your civilization, then so be it!" The old man smiled slightly and took the bag off his back.

Previously, he had put one wandering spirit after another into it.

He rummaged in the bag and took out a ring, which he then tossed to Yi Shuihan!

Yi Shuihan's expression shifted slightly as he said, "This is..."

“We are destined to meet, and we are quite alike! Although we cannot become master and disciple, perhaps we can become friends!” the old man said. “Of course, not now, but in the future when you have grown up. This is a spatial ring containing some of my understanding of martial arts, which may be of some help to you!”

"You just gave it to me like that?" Yi Shuihan asked in astonishment.

"I am destined to meet you, and now it seems that I am also connected to your civilization by some cause and effect! Cause and effect have led us to meet, so why not let you study some martial arts techniques?" the old man said casually.

After saying that, he looked at Su Liuyun again and said, "Little guy, I'll be waiting for you at the city gate. You can come find me anytime after you've finished your business here. After I take you back to the sect and you complete the apprenticeship ceremony, you can call me Master then!"

At this point, he looked at Ye Qing and Lin Qianyu again, and said with a smile, "As for you two little ones, let me give you a piece of advice: Don't show your sharpness! But don't let it show!"

Upon hearing this, the big yellow dog looked up.

"I won't disturb you any longer!" He smiled slightly, and then vanished from the spot.

Inside the room, everyone stared in disbelief at the scene.

"Who is this old man?" Zhuge Tianqing asked.

Ye Qing recounted his encounter with him in the desert, then looked at the big yellow dog beside him and asked, "Big Yellow, is this old man powerful?"

Big Yellow raised its head, looked at the empty space in front of it, and then nodded slightly, saying, "Very impressive!"

"Compared to you?" Ye Qing said, "I'm not talking about you now, but you in the ancient star!"

“He’s much better!” The big yellow dog shrugged.
