Remarkable Man

Zhang Xu pulled back the car curtain.

"Then I'll leave it to Mr. Liang to take good care of Little Stone."

"Please rest assured, Your Crown Princess."

The Crown Princess bowed slightly, promised to come again in the afternoon, boarded her carriage, and took her leave.

The King of Yue's fleet will depart tomorrow. Since the apprenticeship ceremony has just taken place, it is natural to allow the master and apprentice to get to know each other better first.

Tell the Dragon Girl to keep an eye on Wen Shiyun and prevent her from running outside the courtyard.

Liang Qu and his fellow disciples huddled together in a circle, admiring the rare Profound Yellow Token.

The Profound Yellow Token is very light and dark gold in color.

It is square in shape with curved sides, like a round tile with a less pronounced curvature.

When Xiang ChangSong was squeezed hard, it was incredibly hard, and his fingers were white without leaving a trace.

Zhuo Shaoqin slapped down the claw. "Be careful not to break it, what if you can't get the Profound Yellow Energy out?"

Xiang ChangSong: "..."

He hesitated to speak, then gave up.

Zhuo Shaoqin is the senior student, there's no way to refute that.

Cao Rang asked, "Third Senior Brother, what material is the Profound Yellow Token made of?"

Lu Gang picked it up and examined it, observing its color, tapped it lightly twice, and brought it to his ear to listen to the sound.

"It's probably Carefree Gold, which is light and hard. It's often used to make axles for noble carriages. Just one piece costs nearly a thousand taels of silver, so it's quite valuable."

"Luxury."

The key to achieving the highest level of righteousness and harmony, advancing to the Grandmaster level, and attaining a lifespan of three hundred years is laid bare before you.

Priceless!

"The Profound Yellow Token adds ten Great Merit... Does Master have ten Great Merit?" Xu Zishuai looked up and asked.

"Thank you for your concern." Yang Dongxiong said irritably, "When I returned from the army, I kept a few as backup. The year before last, when we resisted the Ghost Mother Cult, the court recognized my merit. Last year, when I participated in dealing with the Ghost Mother Cult's master, I received four."

Xu Zishuai chuckled twice, "I forgot that my Master is a veteran of the battlefield."

Yu Dun said, "In that case, ten Great Merit are a small matter, and a wisp of Profound Yellow Long Qi is a sure thing."

"When will Master go and exchange the Profound Yellow Energy, so that his disciples can broaden their horizons?"

"Indeed, I've never seen what Long Qi looks like."

"In May, the Dragonfolk collects the Heavenly Water Morning Dew. I was busy Spirit Transformation, so I didn't really see what the Long Qi looked like."

"Dragonfolk collected Long Qi that day?" Xiang ChangSong exclaimed in surprise.

"..."

Xiang ChangSong scratched his head. "I just thought it was about collecting some heavenly materials and earthly treasures..."

"No rush." Yang Dongxiong shook his head. "I still need to Profound Light Opening and Melting Hundred Classics. Before that, obtaining the Long Qi will be useless and may even lead to disaster."

"That's true..."

"Master, please be careful."

No one steals or robs the Profound Yellow Token.

The purpose of the imperial court in establishing the Profound Yellow Token was to strictly control the flow of Profound Yellow Long Qi.

Each Profound Yellow Token tablet has a marked destination, and Great Merit cannot be transferred.

The flow of the goods does not match the records. You can't exchange a token and Great Merit for Long Qi. What you get is a piece of "Carefree Gold" worth a little over a thousand taels.

It's not certain that it will transform into Profound Yellow Energy.

If the value is sufficient, there will always be those who dare to act boldly.

It's possible that secret agents from the Northern Court, wicked teachers from the Southern Border, or even overseas thieves might intervene.

"The King of Yue is so magnanimous, presenting such a generous gift when he becomes a disciple."

"Junior Brother's cultivation is already swift; with the Soul Gold Lotus, wouldn't it be like adding wings to a tiger?"

"Will there be an underground bridge this year?"

"Wait a minute, I just remembered something." Xu Zishuai straightened his back. "If A Shui takes the grandson of the Prince of Yue as his disciple, isn't his Master of the same generation as the King of Yue?"

"Tch!" Yang Dongxiong immediately interrupted, "Don't go around spreading rumors."

"Haha, I know what I'm doing, I'm just thinking of having some fun."

"Come on, come on, have some Frozen Cream, have some Frozen Cream, it's melting!"

backyard.

A gentle breeze blows, making the courtyard cool and shady.

Old Toad squatted in the pond, its head shaded by lotus leaves turned upside down, its webbed feet supporting its head, sighing softly.

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves.

The Fat Catfish pulled two dandelions from between the pond stones and held them up to its face.

The Old Toad puffed out its mouth and blew away, sending countless tiny white umbrellas flying onto the water's surface.

A faint sadness.

It drifted away with the wind.

Wen Shiyun rode the Oolong around, finding the scenery of the pond quite novel.

The pond and yard at my house are much bigger than my Master's. I've visited many other people's yards during holidays, and each one has its own unique landscaping and scenery, but I've never had so many fun things to do there.

He turned his head.

Oolong was in pain.

Great River Otter with a fierce scar on its face stood behind her, startling Wen Shiyun so much that she unconsciously grabbed Oolong's head fur.

The Scarface realized his intrusion, took two steps back, put down the broom, and clasped his hands together.

Wen Shiyun was at a loss. She rolled off the back of the Oolong, wiped her hands, and was about to put her palms together in return.

The shadows on the ground grew rapidly.

Bang! With a loud crash, the golden pheasant darted away.

Scarface flew backward, rolled along the ground, and crashed into a large pillar.

Ta Ta Kai forward and kicked Scarface away, then did three backflips and two frontflips before kneeling on one knee and clasping his hands in a fist salute to Wen Shiyun.

Young Master!

Wen Shiyun was puzzled. After glancing at the blue-nosed River Otter's paws, she quickly changed her clasped hands to a fist salute.

Scarface pushed himself up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and ripped off half of his yellow robe.

Even a Buddha has three parts fire, and he's not a clay Bodhisattva! Sensing the killing intent, Ta Ta Kai and shielded Wen Shiyun behind him, spreading its five claws and assuming the stance of Ape Fist.

They collided while pushing off the ground!

Swoosh swoosh swoosh.

Sharp claws gleamed coldly, and broken hairs flew everywhere.

Bang! Bang! Two sharp blows to the head.

Long Yao grabbed the River Otter of their necks and threw them into the pond, one in each hand.

The Little River Otter grinned, baring its teeth, and then, without warning, tumbled off the eaves and fell, dazed and confused.

The Fat Catfish smacked its belly and flicked its whiskers.

Wen Shiyun hugged Oolong's head, a smile appearing on her face under the bright sun.

afternoon.

A brief drizzle fell from the sky, turning the sweltering heat into muggy conditions.

The Crown Princess took Wen Shiyun's hand and left the house, only to find that her son was reluctant to leave.

Strange.

A four- or five-year-old child going to a stranger's house, not afraid at all? "What treasures does Master have that make Little Stone so reluctant to leave?" The Crown Princess picked up Wen Shiyun. "Don't be sad, Mother will go to Ning Jiang Prefecture and have Father buy you some! A large garden of a hundred acres! A big pond!"

Wen Shiyun was greatly encouraged and started counting on her little fingers.

"A big black dog you can ride!"

"You can ride a big black dog? I'll keep one!"

"Blue-Nosed River Otter that can fight! Yellow-Robed River Otter that can chant scriptures!"

"Have you done... um?"

"A giant Toad as tall as a person that can sigh! Big Fish several meters long that can blow dandelions! A green dragon with tree stumps growing from its head! A beaver that can build huge ships! A finless River Dolphin that swims! So many, so many!"

Wen Shiyun rattled off seven or eight kinds of Water Beast in one breath.

Crown Princess: "?"

Is Liang Water Envoy's house a zoo?

After a while.

"From now on, Little Stone will come back to Pingyang Prefecture to visit Master during holidays!"

"Oh."

Wen Shiyun's beautiful dream was shattered. She leaned on the Crown Princess's shoulder, feeling sullen. However, after playing for most of the day, she was quite tired and fell asleep in a daze.

Zhang Xu laughed and said, "It's said that Liang Water Envoy has an excellent skill in taming animals, and his reputation is well-deserved."

The Crown Princess asked, "Is there any way to build a decent garden? Could we find some skilled animal trainers?"

Zhang Xu thought for a moment, "It's difficult. Liang Water Envoy trains Water Beast, which are full of spirituality. Even the River Otter, which are naturally cruel and fierce, will often go to the market to buy things and chant Buddhist scriptures."

Ordinary beast tamers usually specialize in one type of beast and cannot be diverse. If they were to train Spirit Monster Great Monster Spirit level to develop sufficient intelligence, which would be too costly.

"You can know a person's face but not their heart, let alone a beast. It can't speak, so who knows if it's pretending? It's so dangerous to have it as a playmate for children."

The Crown Princess exclaimed, "Mr. Liang is truly an extraordinary person..."

Zhang Xu said respectfully, "If he were not an extraordinary person, how could he have caught the Lord's eye?"

The Crown Princess nodded silently.

King of Yue was Martial Saint, and his vision was better than that of ordinary people. Whatever he gave orders, he did.

pond.

The Old Toad hugged the crystal basin, vigorously waving the Frozen Cream, the pleasure brought by the dessert dispelling the regret of failing to touch the pillar.

The Fat Catfish Cannot Move, its Round Head head and wide-open mouth awaiting feeding.

The Great Beaver family held up their wooden bowls and tasted the food with small spoons.

Liang Qu specially asked Long Yao and Long Li to Water Beast a dessert of Frozen Cream as a reward.

Uncle Chen's Xiao Shunzi, Xiao Shunzi, often came to play in the garden through the back door. Occasionally, he would help out the Great Beaver Water Beast, whose skill in coaxing children was first-rate.

Those who make contributions will be rewarded.

He also taught the Water Beast a lesson, explaining the meaning of master and apprentice.

The Fat Catfish was greatly disappointed upon hearing this, and the Frozen Cream in its mouth had no sweetness at all.

So, from now on, the next person after the gods is the young master, and then myself?

"Of course, the master-disciple relationship can't compare to the relationship between you and me."

A Fei, A Bu, Roundy, Ah Awei, Otter, Fox, Fatty, and Fist Quan, who was mining in Bloodstone County and didn't come today.

You are all my trusted confidants, connected by the same roots, a bond far beyond what a master-disciple relationship can compare to!

Liang Qu spoke with absolute certainty.

The Fat Catfish's eyes gleamed, its whiskers waving as it devoured the Frozen Cream.

Ta Ta Kai its hands, holding the wooden bowl, and rubbed its chin.

It turns out, it should be the young master who clasps his hands in greeting to me!
