2822 Old Indecent



His aged countenance instantly transformed into a radiant, chrysanthemum-like smile. "My dear, how about I pass on all the wisdom I've gathered throughout my lifetime to you? This way, I can depart from this world with no regrets!"

"Oh, come on! Don't even think about leaving us now!"

"Get lost!"

"Shoo, shoo, shoo! You're the one who should shoo! Dying in front of me is absolutely off-limits!"

"Then let's get back to the game!"

"Wait, Seniors, Senior!! Seniors…" /Seriously, these two must have been ancient when you added up their ages!/

/Why were they still squabbling like mischievous children?/

Duan Yue intervened, attempting to separate the two, but the very next moment, he found himself recoiling involuntarily due to the overpowering stench of their clothes.

Mo Lian couldn't help but involuntarily twitch his mouth and silently took a half-step back.

It wasn't that they disliked their senior companions, but the odor was truly overwhelming. In comparison to the monstrous fish they had encountered that day in the Beiwang Great Forest… Well, there wasn't much of a difference, so it was fair to say it was incredibly pungent.

"Seniors, as per what you mentioned earlier, you came here to vanquish your foes. After doing so, what are your plans for…" Duan Yue gestured at their soiled and smelly bodies.

"Furthermore, Senior Chen Qi's meridians were clearly severed before. How are they now?"

"Young one, you're quite inquisitive!" Chen Qi approached Mo Lian with a grin.

The latter retreated several steps and shook his head, saying, "I can't deny that."

"Duan Yue, you can leave now!"

Having braved countless trials and tribulations, the dawn was on the horizon, and he needed to return home promptly since his beloved wife was still waiting for him.

"He had no intention of lingering around with this foul-smelling old timer!"

Duan Yue quickly followed suit, sharing the sentiment that it was best to leave with Mo Lian rather than becoming the targets of these two eccentric old folks.

"Senior Chen, since this isn't your residence, it belongs to me now!" Mo Lian waved a dismissive hand at Huifeng and the others, saying, "Arrange to have all the decrepit items inside removed and renovate the place. We'll use it for the time being."

"Understood," Huifeng nodded, casting another discreet glance at the crown prince.

/His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had effortlessly claimed this portion of Beiwang Valley's residence right in front of these two eccentric old folks. He was quite… bold./

After all, these two seniors possessed inscrutable levels of cultivation.

However, what puzzled everyone was that when the Crown Prince made this declaration, the two odd old folks neither objected nor displayed any anger. It was as if they truly held no interest in this property at all.

"Young one, have you made your decision?" Chen Qi and Lu Zheng simultaneously pursued Mo Lian and Duan Yue to inquire about becoming the Dao Seeking King.

/What decision could he make?/

The two exchanged glances before swiftly making their way out of the school's gates. They had no intention of spending another minute with these two bizarre old folks.

/What a ridiculous notion, discussing formal master-disciple relationships without any prior acquaintance./

/These two elderly rascals!/

/Where did they even come from? How could they casually acknowledge someone as their disciple on a whim?/

/They were strangers to each other, so why should she accept him as her Master on sight?/

/They refused, absolutely refused to accept it!/

Their agility was astounding; one cloaked in darkness and the other in pristine white, they vanished from Beiwang Valley in the blink of an eye.

Not long after their departure, Mo Lian summoned Little Seven, prompting Duan Yue to swiftly join him.

Little Seven underwent a remarkable transformation, assuming the form of a resplendent golden dragon that carried the duo aloft, whisking them back to the Imperial Academy with astonishing speed.

As they returned, the first rays of dawn began to illuminate the horizon.

Upon passing through the main entrance of Winterwood Court, a reproachful voice abruptly pierced the morning air. "Marvelous! You both sneak out for a midnight adventure and don't even think to invite Qiaoqiao along!"

A shiver ran down their spines as they turned to see who had spoken.
