The villain who wears a book: I was called Master by the protagonist!

As night fell, the originally starry sky was obscured by thick dark clouds, as if a huge black curtain hung in the sky, swallowing up all the starlight and moonlight.

Everything around him became blurry and hazy, only the lights in the distance loomed in the night, shining with a weak but firm light.

The air was filled with the scent of moist earth and leaves, and occasionally a few insects chirped, breaking the silence of the night.

The breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, making all the pedestrians on the street shiver.

In this kind of night, everything seems to be sleeping, and only a few nocturnal animals begin to appear quietly.

Their figures are looming in the night, giving people a mysterious and strange feeling.

"Squeak..."

The door was opened and Ye Qing walked out wearing black clothes.

He first looked around and found that no one was there, then hurriedly left here.

After he left, the door of another room was also opened, it was Yue Nanke and Gu Ningshuang.

"Senior sister, there must be something wrong with him!" Yue Nanke pointed at the direction Ye Qing left and whispered to Gu Ningshuang.

"What could be the problem?"

Gu Ningshuang was very puzzled: "Didn't you tell me? He couldn't sleep because he missed his sister."

"That's what you say, but don't you find it strange?" Yue Nanke firmly believed in his guess and explained: "If you are worried about your sister's safety, why can't you sleep every night?"

"With a character like Ye Qing, if you are worried about a certain person, you will definitely not hide it. You will directly ask your elder brother to help you investigate."

"What's more, real worries cannot be calmed down by meditation."

"Ye Qing actually said that he meditated on the mountain until dawn? Do you believe this?"

After listening to his analysis, Gu Ningshuang also felt that something was wrong with this matter.

With a character like Ye Qing's, it was impossible for him to run out in the middle of the night just because he was worried about his sister's safety.

Meditate until dawn...

Just to calm down?

Who can believe this?

Could it be that this kid Ye Qing really has some ulterior secret?

"do not care……"

"Follow me first and then talk!"

Then, both of them put on black cloaks and disappeared into the night.

……

Xiao Nanshan.

Ye Qing's final destination is here.

At the foot of Xiaonan Mountain, there is a hidden cave. Because the entrance of the cave is a bit small, it is not easy for people to find it.

After Ye Qing arrived at this place, he first looked around and found no one, then walked straight into the cave.

Not long after, Gu Ningshuang and Yue Nanke also came here. Instead of going in, they hid behind a patch of grass.

Although they couldn't see what was going on inside, they could hear the sounds inside thanks to their cultivation.

"Senior, I brought you something to eat."

"Yo? Is it a beggar chicken? Boy, it seems you haven't forgotten the agreement between us!"

"Senior taught me Taoism. Ye Qing cannot repay this kindness."

"That's what I said! Old man, aren't I going to return to the West soon? It would be a pity not to pass on this unique skill to others! Meeting you can be regarded as the fate between you and me."

"Senior, there is really no way to make your body..."

"Boy, don't worry. Old man, I know my own body well. Even if the gods from heaven come down to earth, they can't save me!"

"..."

After hearing these words, Gu Ningshuang and Yue Nanke couldn't help but frowned.

Ye Qing came to this ghost place in the middle of the night just to meet an old man?

From their conversation, it seemed that the old man was dying soon, so he wanted to pass on his secret knowledge to Ye Qing.

But the key is, who is this old man? How could Ye Qing trust others so easily?

"Sister, do you feel that Ye Qing has been deceived?"

"Think about it, this old man has an extraordinary background, claims that he is not going to die soon, and wants to pass on his secret knowledge to others. Who would be so kind?"

"Logically speaking, shouldn't inheritance be carefully selected? Why does this old man fall in love with Ye Qing?"

Gu Ningshuang didn't speak, and after a long time she replied: "The most important thing is, why would he come to a place like this?"

"Sister, what do you mean?"

"This is the boundary of Netherworld Mountain, which means that this is the territory of the Demon Sect. This old man should know very well that the people here are basically members of the Demon Sect. If this is the case, why does he want to pass on the secret knowledge to Ye Qing? Aren’t you afraid that your inheritance will be used as a tool to destroy the common people? This is strange!”

"Indeed!"

Yue Nanke nodded slightly, agreeing with this view very much.

This old man came to this kind of place inexplicably, and he also wanted to leave a legacy.

This doesn’t look right no matter how you look at it!

"Sister, have you ever thought about whether this old man is a member of the Demon Cult?"

"It's possible." Gu Ningshuang said noncommittally: "However, things cannot be absolute. The key is to find out the origin of this old man."

While the two were talking quietly, the old man and Ye Qing slowly walked out.

This old man was wearing simple white clothes with many patches on his body, especially his hair, which was completely white and disheveled.

He held a wine flask in his left hand and a beggar's chicken in his right hand, eating meat and drinking wine at the same time.

He walked to a big rock and sat down without saying a word. He looked at Ye Qing and asked, "Boy, how are you doing with the exercises I gave you?"

Ye Qing replied: "Senior, don't worry, I have basically mastered the first three levels."

"It's just that the text on the fourth level is a bit difficult and obscure, and the younger generation can't understand it."

"It's normal." The old man nodded and said in a very leisurely manner: "The most difficult part of this skill is the fourth level."

"I think back then, I only understood the mystery through Master's words."

"At your age, it may not be easy to reach the fourth level."

Ye Qing couldn't understand, "Why?"

The old man took a sip of wine with an expression of great enjoyment, then looked at Ye Qing and said: "The fourth level is related to the world of mortals. You are too young and have not experienced this, so even if I say it, you will not Wouldn’t understand.”

"But it doesn't matter. The first three levels are enough for you to make a career in the world!"

"Whether it will be the fourth floor or not, it doesn't matter anymore."

After hearing these words, Ye Qing couldn't help but sigh, and said with a frustrated look: "But I still want to become stronger."

"Stronger?"

The old man's expression was stunned at first, then he burst out laughing, took a sip of wine and said, "Boy, becoming stronger is not a good thing!"

"The more a person can stand at the top, the more he has his own sufferings."

"You saw his glory, but you didn't see the scenery behind him."

"Old man, I would like to ask, why do you want to become stronger?"

When this question was mentioned, Ye Qing's eyes became extremely firm, and he looked into the distance and said, "Because I want to become Master's arms!"

"I don't want to stand behind him anymore and let him shield me from the wind and rain."

"I hope one day I can fight alongside him!"
