Yue Wen waited anxiously until the following morning before using the Dragon Pool Carp-Pincering Art again.
This time, three out of five attempts succeeded. His luck was above average.
"Phew..." Only then did he let out a long breath. It seemed he really had survived this inexplicable Death Tribulation.
It had come suddenly and gone just as suddenly.
Before this, Yue Wen had already thanked Hu Jiuyi, but Hu Jiuyi said there was no need to say more. His master must have had his reasons for doing this.
When Yue Wen asked whether he could meet the mysterious Daoist Ye, Hu Jiuyi said that his master avoided karmic entanglements and seldom appeared. If he wanted to meet Yue Wen, he would naturally show himself.
This only made Yue Wen all the more curious about Daoist Ye.
Yue Wen also sounded Hu Jiuyi out about how he had become his disciple. Hu Jiuyi said that years ago, he had encountered danger in the Wasteland Zone. Daoist Ye had easily saved him and taken him as a disciple in the process.
Back then, he had merely been a rebellious teenager who disliked the way certain people in his family behaved. Daoist Ye had said that the Hu Family acted against all that was right and would eventually face a calamity. Unless he cut ties early, he would sooner or later be dragged down with them and die.
It was precisely under Daoist Ye's guidance that Hu Jiuyi had decisively severed ties with his family.
Over the years that followed, apart from occasionally giving him some pointers, Daoist Ye rarely summoned him to meet. Thus, Hu Jiuyi could not really claim to understand his master either.
According to what he had said earlier, Daoist Ye had mentioned helping Yue Wen more than once.
