"Are you from the Wind and Lightning Pavilion?" Yao Chen narrowed his eyes. To be honest, before he got himself into this mess,
the relations between the Starfall Pavilion and the Wind and Lightning Pavilion were not all that great, and they even had somewhat of a rival stance.
Now the young pavilion master of the other party had actually tracked him down to his doorstep, which made Yao Chen couldn't help but suspect whether the other party had some other ulterior motives.
However, before Qin Yun could answer, Yao Lao turned his gaze to Feng Qing'er next to him, who looked quite prideful.
"What's more, this little girl is even from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. Back in the day, I had some dealings with that race, and I also have some rather unpleasant memories of them."
At this moment, Yao Lao was obviously much more vigilant than Xiao Yan. To be honest, if he wasn't just a soul body now and lacking in strength, and if his condition were just a bit better, he might have simply slipped away directly.
"Hmph, although I don't know what kind of unpleasant memories you have, and I can't be bothered to listen to your nonsense,
but if you talk about my race like that in front of me, can it be understood that you are provoking me?"
As someone who valued bloodline purity the most, Feng Qing'er's expression also turned somewhat gloomy.
If the one saying this had been Qin Yun, she might have just endured it, but this old fogey in front of her was obviously in a bad state.
If they fought, he probably wouldn't be her match. Since he wasn't her match, what was there to be cowardly about? If he really pissed her off, she would just straight-up brawl with him.
"Hey, hey, the gunpowder smell between the two of you is almost reaching me. We are here today to have a calm and peaceful exchange, not to fight. Both of you, cut it out."
Watching both sides with gazes sparking with friction, Qin Yun felt a bit of a headache.
Sigh, seriously, he had to play babysitter for people even after transmigrating. Was there really no one who could save him a bit of worry?
"Very well. The principle of not implicating the family is something I also understand, and moreover, this little girl only has a sharp mouth,
with not much killing intent on her body; I won't lower myself to her level." As an old Jianghu, Yao Lao naturally had his own set of methods for reading people.
Don't look at how Feng Qing'er currently had the appearance of wanting to pick a fight, and even tried hard to exude a bit of killing intent from herself, but in reality she truly didn't have much of a thought to deal a fatal blow.
She was clearly just a wealthy family's child who had been spoiled rotten to the point of being a little princess.
Otherwise, based on this kind of forced killing intent, if it were his younger days, he probably would have laughed his teeth off.
"Hmph!" Facing Yao Lao's sarcastic and snide taunts, Feng Qing'er's face turned livid, but she didn't say anything more.
To be honest, she truly hadn't been through any life-or-death battles.
At most it was just sparring between peers and elders, so her genuine killing intent was pitifully little.
But this didn't mean she submitted; otherwise, how could she live up to the moniker of Stubborn Sis?
It was just that right now she completely didn't want to give this old fogey any pleasant looks.
"Speak, what kind of cooperation do you want to talk to me about?" At this moment Yao Lao realized that wanting to sneak away quietly
was probably no longer possible, so he wanted to probe and see what kind of thoughts the other party actually had.
"I want you to take Xiao Yan as your disciple, and then pass on all your skills to him as much as possible. This idea shouldn't be too excessive, right?" Qin Yun said calmly.
"Is that all?" Hearing the other party's request, Yao Lao was clearly stunned. After all, he really hadn't expected it to just be this simple matter.
As for this matter of taking a disciple, even if Qin Yun didn't mention it, he himself had this idea. After all, he had sucked away the other party's Dou Qi for three years for no reason and turned Xiao Yan into good-for-nothing trash, so he always had to compensate with something.
"Brother Qin, you mean to let me take this old fellow as my teacher?
He's the one who made me become good-for-nothing trash for a full three years, suffering cold glares from everyone..."
Hearing their discussion, Xiao Yan immediately became stirred up all over.
After all, those three years of life were truly miserable. If not for this old man, perhaps he would have already broken through to Dou Shi by now and become the most dazzling star in the clan.
"Are you sure? If I reveal the other party's identity, will you really not change your mind?" Qin Yun wanted to tease him.
"Of course not! I, Xiao Yan, am clear on gratitude and grudges. Facing this guy, you surely can't expect me to repay resentment with virtue!"
"Mn, not a bad thought. This old fellow's strength really isn't much to speak of-back at his peak he was merely a Nine-Turn Peak Dou Zun, and a mere Eighth-Tier Alchemist at that. He's not worthy of you..."
"Teacher is above, your disciple Xiao Yan kowtows to you." Before Qin Yun even finished speaking, Xiao Yan made a direct ascent to heaven and jumped straight to the kowtowing and master-acknowledging stage.
"You little brat..." Yao Lao looked at the youth in front of him who had used the fierce tiger descending on the earth stance with a laugh that wasn't a laugh. Although he had guessed that the other party would change his face quickly, he hadn't expected it to be so direct.
"What, you don't resent me in your heart anymore now? Wasn't it because of me that you became good-for-nothing trash for three years?"
Yao Lao stroked his beard, wanting to let the other party give his true inner thoughts.
"To say I don't resent you at all would be fake. Honestly, right now I really do want to pluck out all your beard.
But I also know that you taking me as your disciple is also my only stepping stone in this lifetime.
Right now, even if my talent is good, I am still lagging far behind my peers by a huge margin.
Even if I put in even more effort, I'm afraid I still won't be able to completely surpass other geniuses.
All I can do now is take you as my teacher and earnestly cultivate following you.
After all, you are a Dou Zun and an Eighth-Tier Alchemist; your horizon is definitely much vaster than I can imagine.
You are also the only one who can guide me to overtake on a bend.
Maybe for the first few days of cultivation I might still harbor some grievances toward you for sucking my Dou Qi previously,
but there is only one thing I can guarantee with my life: a teacher for a day is a father for life. As long as you teach me earnestly, I will certainly not fail you in the future.
If possible, I can also provide for your old age in the future."
Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment and thought of many various answers,
but in the end he still chose the most genuine and plain answer.
"Hahahaha, interesting. This truly is a terrible answer."
Yao Lao was amused by Xiao Yan for a moment. "However, although terrible, it quite suits my personality.
Since that's the case, I'll also give you a guarantee:
as long as your character can maintain the way it is now, I will also pour out everything and teach you everything I know.
I only hope that you will have the opportunity in the future to help me reshape my physical body.
Of course, this process will be very difficult, so I only ask you to try your best; if it's truly impossible, then forget it."
"Your disciple pays respects to Teacher." Xiao Yan kowtowed seriously three times, which counted as formally acknowledging his master.
Seeing these two become master and disciple, Qin Yun considered part of his entire plan completed.
Without the slightest bit of politeness, Yao Lao was the greatest benefactor in Xiao Yan's life. Without Yao Lao,
Xiao Yan's cultivation in this lifetime would at most peak at the Dou Zun realm, and he wouldn't become the renowned Flame Emperor of later days.
