"This fish is good, just right for Master to replenish his body."

The young man surfaced and smiled happily.

He was about to go ashore, but when he looked up, he saw Luo Yuan standing quietly on the shore.

"Ah!"

The young man was startled.

As his body shook, the opening of the fish basket tilted into the lake.

The big fish escaped.……

"Who are you?"

The young man asked in confusion.

He followed his master to this remote and deserted mountain when he was young.

This was the first time he saw a stranger here.

"Luo Yuan."

Luo Yuan said softly

"My name is Jiale!"

Jiale was very excited to see a stranger for the first time.

Usually, there were only his master and his master in the mountain.

Sometimes, the master was often busy with business outside.

Jiale was sensible. Although he didn't say anything, he still felt lonely and bored in his heart.

So, when he saw Luo Yuan appear in front of him.

The first thought in his mind was to make friends with Luo Yuan. The master's previous advice to be careful of strangers had long been thrown out of his mind. He had clear eyes, a kind heart, and was easy to trust people.

Luo Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

He originally wanted to leave here, but he immediately gave up the idea.

"Fortune telling?"

Luo Yuan asked softly.

Meeting is fate.

Moreover, he admired the pure heart of the young man in front of him.

"Huh?"

Jia Le was stunned for a moment.

"Fortune telling?"

"Well... not really"

"My master wanted to tell my fortune before, but I refused."

"What's the good of knowing what will happen in the future, and I have no power to change anything"

"It is better to live happily every day, and be happy every day."

Jia Le shook his head and refused.

He smiled very freely.

Luo Yuan asked again:"What if the predetermined fate can be changed?"

"Don’t want that either!"

"Life is only a few decades long. If you know what will happen next, what's the point of living?"

Jiale refused without thinking.

""Yes." Luo Yuan replied calmly, without any hesitation.

He turned around and prepared to find a place around to settle down temporarily.

"Luo Yuan!"

"Do you want to come over for dinner tonight?"

""My master is back and brought back a lot of delicious food from the city!"

Jiale shouted loudly behind him.

In his heart, he couldn't wait to introduce this new friend to his master and the master.

""Okay."

Luo Yuan thought about it and nodded.

Because of Jiale's refusal, he did not check Jiale's fate privately.

But as the owner of the ancient book of fate, he had a premonition that something bad would happen to Jiale.

"Okay then, wait for me at the shore for a while!"

"I'll catch two fish, it'll be done in no time!"

Jia Le was very excited when he saw Luo Yuan agreed.

He dived into the lake and soon caught two big fish.

"Let’s go!"

"Master will be back later, I have to prepare the meal first."

Jia Le came ashore, all wet.

Carrying a bamboo basket with two big fish on his back, he walked in front to lead the way for Luo Yuan.

Having made new friends, Jia Le was very excited. He kept talking and asking questions along the way.

Luo Yuan would also chuckle and answer. Luo Yuan was not a heartless and indifferent person. He just saw through everything because he had lived for a long time and mastered the ancient book of destiny. Therefore, indifference was just Luo Yuan's normal state. The way he was talking with a chuckle was also Luo Yuan's true side. Not far away, two houses built of wooden boards appeared in their sight.

"Here we are!"

Jiale said

"The older one on the left is where my master and I live, and the newer one on the right is Master Ikkyu's house."

"They are always quarreling and seem to want to stay away from each other."

"But I know that they have a very good relationship and they can't live without each other."

"My master and I had just moved here, and Master Ikkyu followed us."

"By the way, Master Ikkyu is also a very good person. I will introduce him to you later.

Jiale introduced

""Okay."

Luo Yuan smiled and nodded.

Entering the house on the left,

Jiale made Luo Yuan a pot of hot tea and brought out some snacks such as osmanthus cakes.

After chatting with Luo Yuan for a few words, he went to the kitchen to work.

It was getting dark, and it seemed that it was close to the time for his master to come back.

Without Jiale talking, Luo Yuan became quiet again.

Fortunately, he also liked this quiet atmosphere more.

Tasting the tea that Jiale made for him, he quietly appreciated the beautiful scenery of the setting sun.

Time passed quietly.

The sun set, and a black curtain hung in the sky.

One dish after another was brought to Luo Yuan by Jiale.

Steamed silver carp, braised eggplant, stewed meat with potatoes...

I didn't expect Jiale's cooking skills to be quite good.

"It smells pretty good."

Luo Yuan said with a smile.

The sudden praise made Jiale feel a little embarrassed.

"Really? Then you should eat more later."

Jiale wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve and said happily.

Ding-ling-ling...

Ding-ling-ling... a faint bell sound came from a distance."I forgot to tell you, actually...actually my master is a Taoist priest. Sometimes he would do some rushing business and often bring customers back."

"Don't be afraid later. Those guests won't hurt you."

Jiale said hastily.

He seemed to be afraid that Luo Yuan would be frightened and think that he was hiding something on purpose.

He didn't want to lose this new friend like this.

"Master is coming back!"

Jiale's eyes lit up, and he stood up and ran out to greet him.

But just as he ran out of the door, he suddenly seemed to remember something.

He ran back to Luo Yuan.

He stammered, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.

"What's wrong?"

Luo Yuan asked softly.

"that……"

"fine"

"Go ahead and greet your master first.

Luo Yuan said softly.

"That……."

"I'll go out first!"

Jiale walked out of the door hesitantly.

The calm expression on Luo Yuan's face made him feel relieved. He was really afraid that the new friends he made would be scared away by those"guests". As he was thinking about it, a figure wearing a dark yellow Taoist robe appeared in the night not far away.

Behind that figure, one, two, three... twelve jumping figures followed closely.

Oh!

There are quite a few"guests" tonight!

""Master, you are back."

Jiale went to greet him and took the copper bell and oil lamp from the master.

In the past, when the master came back with guests, he would give him the instruments and let him take the"guest" to the side room to settle down.

"Sometimes there were more guests, sometimes less.

This was a disguised test from his master. It was a test to see if he had practiced well at home.

Ding-ling-ling…

Jiale made hand gestures, rang the copper bell, and walked to the side room.

All the"guests" who had followed his master before now followed him to the side room.

"Um!"

"Not bad, it seems that he has not been lazy at home."

Master Simu nodded with satisfaction.

At the same time, a trace of pride emerged in his heart.

Although his apprentice's talent is a little worse, his character is really good. He is willing to practice hard and his future achievements will not be too low.

Thinking of Brother Lin Jiu's two naughty apprentices, Master Simu became more and more satisfied with Jiale.

Sighing in his heart, Master Simu walked towards the main room happily.
