Chapter 371: A Yao takes the blame for his master
"Teacher, aren't you back to Longmen?" Jingzhe, who received the news, rushed to Roy's office without stopping.
After knocking politely on the door and entering, he saw the old Taoist priest sitting on the sofa drinking tea and asked in confusion.
"Um...something happened on the way, so I have to stay for a few days." The old Taoist priest picked up the teacup and took a sip, his expression relaxed.
"You seem very happy?" Jingzhe could see that the teacher was in a good mood. During the time he spent with the old Heavenly Master, not only his Heavenly Master's thunder method, but also his ability to read people's expressions had improved a lot.
"Well, it's indeed a good thing. I'll tell you when I get back." The old Taoist priest drank the tea in the cup and thanked Roy again before leaving with Jingzhe.
The long-standing problem of demonic pollution has been temporarily alleviated, and there is even a chance for further improvement.
In order to prepare for future disasters, the old Taoist priest decided to stay for a few more days and visit Miss Elqi with gifts to seek another opportunity for treatment.
Once he was well, he would return to Da Yan. One treatment would be more effective than recuperating in Da Huang City for several years.
The Sarkaz magic, which had been passed down for thousands of years, was indeed not to be underestimated. Most people today, when talking about the Sarkaz, would bring with them an innate contempt and prejudice.
After personally experiencing the profound heritage of the Sarkaz, the old Taoist priest's contempt hidden deep in his heart no longer existed.
Kazdel's future will definitely exceed most people's expectations. By the time those clueless guys realize what's happening, Kazdel will likely have grown into a behemoth.
......
Three days later, the old Taoist priest set out again to return to Dayan.
The demonic contamination in her body had improved significantly under Elki's treatment, and she would no longer suffer from old injuries after fighting at full strength.
In the upcoming battle of the awakening of the Year Beast, the old Taoist priest will be an indispensable top combat force to intimidate the giant beasts lurking around Dayan.
......
One day after the Great Yan Celestial Master left, Roy was reviewing official documents as usual. When Nian learned that Ya had been captured, he went to see his compatriot and, by the way, helped the military reinforce the prison where he was being held.
Nian used his power as a forger to create a suspended bronze cage for Ya. Intricate patterns were carved into the four corners, and four copper chains, each three fingers thick, bound Ya's hands and feet tightly, restricting his range of movement.
"As a powerful god, you aid those despicable humans and turn against your own compatriots. You fragments are just as weak and traitorous as your true self hiding under the Great Flame..."
"Traitor! Traitor! The curse that guy suffered will fall on you one day. Hahaha..." Ya looked crazy and laughed wildly.
Nian ignored Ya's curse, waved his hand nonchalantly, and left the dim cell. Roy's impromptu work was over, and he could finally find someone to play mahjong with.
"hateful......"
A pair of resentful and ferocious scarlet eyes were blocked by the slowly closing heavy prison door.
......
Ever since Roy expressed his stance on the Sui Beast agent issue to the old Taoist priest and Jingzhe, Xi no longer had to worry about Simuitai's surveillance.
She can leave the world of the painting at will, go out to collect folk songs, travel the world, free and unrestrained.
But most of the time, it was Roy who came with gifts, placing interesting things next to her painting table.
If you have time, you can sit cross-legged and watch her paint quietly. Both the painting and the person painting are pleasing to the eye.
The flow of time inside the scroll is different from that in the outside world. Even Roy, who is busy with work, can stay in it for half an hour.
Almost every time he entered the painting, Li would thoughtfully serve Roy fruits and pastries. After a brief greeting, the ever-tactful Li would find the perfect moment to leave, leaving the two of them alone.
Roy was very curious about whether the fruits and pastries painted with ink could really provide the energy needed by the body. So one day, he raised his doubts to Xi, hoping to get an answer.
"Do you want to know?" Hearing Roy's question, Xi gently put down the brush and looked up at the Sarkaz man sitting opposite him.
"Well, can you answer my question for me?"
"Okay, then close your eyes now... Don't open them unless you are told to."
After making sure Roy really couldn't see, Xi reached out and picked up a piece of light green pastry, leaned forward, and crossed the counter.
"Open your mouth." Those two short words seemed to float from far away, yet seemed so close. The faint scent of ink lingered at the tip of his nose, the fragrance of that waterfall of black hair.
Roy put a piece of cake in his mouth, chewed it for a few bites, and couldn't help frowning.
"how is the taste?"
"It has no taste." Roy smacked his lips and answered truthfully.
"That's right. If you don't see the pastry, it doesn't exist and naturally has no taste."
"So that's how it is. If you can't see something, it doesn't exist. The people in the painting, the moon in the water, they are all illusory... ultimately false."
After Roy got the answer he wanted, he was about to open his eyes when a slightly cold hand covered them.
"Don't open your eyes yet, there's something else... I want you to try..." Roy felt his heart beating faster as the warm breath hit his face.
Judging from experience, something big is definitely going to happen.
Strands of black hair fell down, tickling the backs of their hands and disturbing the minds of both of them.
The warm and soft touch flashed across his lips, so fast that before Roy could react, Xi had already sat back in his seat, calmly and composedly, continuing to paint.
"how?"
"The time was too short, I couldn't taste it. How about another try?" Roy licked his lips secretly. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but he tasted a faint sweetness.
"...Just this once, don't even think about it." Xi turned her head away, avoiding Roy's gaze, and rejected his request.
Ah Yao, drooling, tilted his head to look at his ruddy-faced master, his mind full of confusion. Ah Yao, not being very intelligent, simply couldn't understand what his master's strange behavior meant.
"What a pity. If I could do it again, I would definitely be able to taste it." After being rejected by Xi, Roy looked regretful and silently withdrew his gaze from the rosy ear tip under his hair.
In fact, he had already guessed what had just happened, but he pretended to be ignorant on purpose to see if he could gain some advantage.
"If you really want it, it's not impossible." Ah Yao's appearance brought a change of heart. For some reason, Xi's attitude took a 90-degree turn, from the original refusal to a reluctant agreement.
"Then I'll close my eyes. Come when you're ready." Roy didn't expect Xi to agree, so he closed his eyes with full anticipation.
Seeing this, Xi's mouth corners couldn't help but rise slightly. She bent over and carried Ah Yao onto the table, and signaled it with her eyes to rub Roy's face.
A Yao did not understand his master's orders, but still carried them out unconditionally.
"Ayao? How could it be you?" Roy felt a slippery touch on his face, and suddenly opened his eyes. When he found out it was Ayao, he quickly stopped it from moving any further.
"Wow..." A Yao responded and looked at Roy blankly.
"I forgot to tell you that it was A Yao who did that before." Xi pushed everything onto the mute A Yao and escaped unscathed.
"Uh... okay, I believe it." Roy was silent for a long time and smiled helplessly.
As long as she was happy with her self-deception, who cared about Ah Yao? Roy patted Ah Yao's head, trying to comfort the little guy who took the blame for his master.
