Chapter 404 - Chapter 404: The strange old man.

After seeing the whole thing, Qiu Zitong realized that there was nothing interesting about it.

Isn't it just eating shit? What's interesting about that?

She thought that even Tang Yú, who had tied with her before, had already made progress.

Suddenly, she felt a little annoyed and, turning around, decided that no matter what, she was going to make an effort to surpass everyone first.

She had barely taken a few steps when an old man with white hair followed her, hands behind his back, smiling and saying,

"Zitong, that foreign disciple you saw earlier, did you bring him from outside?"

Seeing that her grandfather had appeared from some corner, Qiu Zitong nodded and replied,

"What's up? Grandpa, do you want to take that boy as a disciple?"

"Well, it's not that it can't be considered, but mainly, I think that young man is quite good. Are you interested in him?"

The old man asked with a smile.

Being the Grand Elder of the Nine Heavens Alliance, he usually wore a serious face wherever he went, but only in front of his granddaughter did he smile.

Qiu Zitong raised an eyebrow and replied, "Grandpa, did you just eat and now you're bored? Nothing to do, so you go out for a stroll to digest?"

"Don't be shy. In the end, who is who between us, grandfather and granddaughter? If you brought someone, it would be like you were really cut from the same mold as me."

The old man smiled mischievously; he liked the relaxed attitude his granddaughter had with him, as it was a sign of closeness.

"Indeed, when I went out, I found out that with current technology, surgeries can be done to install a friend. I'm thinking about that."

Qiu Zitong said thoughtfully.

"..."

The old man was greatly surprised and quickly began to dissuade her.

"Granddaughter, I was joking. Don't do that, it's not something that should be done. I've always thought that women are the best. Men are useless, otherwise, why would that term be used to insult someone, right?"

Qiu Zitong smiled, showing her teeth, and raised her hand, "Alright, get me a place to enter seclusion; I want to focus and make a breakthrough."

"That's fine, grandpa will find you a good place, but you still haven't told me, what relationship do you have with that young man?"

"We're friends. I like women, not men."

"Ah, men also have their good points."

"Then why don't you go find yourself a man?"

"Isn't your grandmother man enough for you?"

"..."

Some disciples of the Nine Heavens Alliance, who overheard the conversation between grandfather and granddaughter, couldn't help but feel as if a lightning bolt had struck them. Is this guy really the Grand Elder?

After Qiu Zitong left, Tang Yú stayed around, watching how Yè Qiū was being treated, feeling somewhat guilty.

Originally, he had thought of treating Yè Qiū like a brother and establishing a good relationship with him, to later obtain some information or seize an opportunity.

But he hadn't expected that a simple bowl of soup would almost cost Yè Qiū his life.

"I hope nothing happens to him."

Tang Yú thought to himself. He still hadn't figured out what exactly the old Dragon King of Yè Qiū wanted, but he couldn't let him go so easily.

The effect of the golden juice was so strong that it almost made Yè Qiū vomit his intestines.

When Yè Qiū could no longer keep vomiting, the attendant, old Wang, had some disciples help him rinse his mouth before giving him the antidote.

As soon as Yè Qiū took the antidote, his face visibly improved.

"How is he, old Wang?"

Qiu Fenghan quickly asked, though despite his disgust, he still cared.

"Probably nothing serious, luckily the detoxification was done in time, the poison couldn't do its full effect, he just needs to rest a few days and he'll recover."

Old Wang was a highly trained doctor, he didn't need to take his pulse, just by looking at Yè Qiū's face, he could tell what was wrong.

"Wow, such bad luck. Anyway, talk to the other disciples and make sure Yè Qiū doesn't find out what happened."

Qiū Fēnghán had to go to great lengths to protect his disciple's pride.

Old Wang nodded, and Tang Yú couldn't help but silently praise him.

Exactly, that's what should be done, protect the privacy of the patient and make sure Yè Qiū doesn't find out how bad it was because of him.

Otherwise, with Ye Qiū's petty attitude, he'd probably hold a grudge for life.

After some unlucky disciples from the hospital lifted Yè Qiū and placed him to rest in a bed in the backyard garden, old Wang told them to clean the floor, which was covered in dirt.

Those disciples felt as if a couple of trucks had run over them, and begrudgingly, they went to clean up.

Tang Yú, accompanied by the second elder Qiu Fenghan, sat by the bed waiting in silence.

After a while, Yè Qiū finally woke up.

Upon waking up, the first thing he noticed was a foul smell.

A strong stench surrounded him, as if he had fallen into a pit of dung.

Seeing Tang Yú and the second elder sitting next to his bed, he was a little surprised and quickly asked, "What happened to me?"

"You got poisoned by some poisonous mushrooms. Next time, don't eat just anything, understood?"

Qiu Fenghan sighed and reprimanded him.

"Poisonous mushrooms?"

Yè Qiū immediately remembered. Of course, those mushrooms were so tasty he had never tasted anything so delicious in his life.

Then he looked at Tang Yú.

Tang Yú, smiling awkwardly, said, "Brother Yè, I'm sorry, I didn't know they were poisonous mushrooms."

"It's fine, junior brother, I'm glad you're okay."

Although inside Yè Qiū cursed, he tried to show a generous attitude and worried about Tang Yú.

"Alright, since you're fine, I'm leaving. For now, don't train, rest for a few days."

Qiu Fenghan gave him some final advice before standing up and leaving, as he couldn't stand the stench in the room any longer.

As soon as he left, Qiu Xiaozhu entered through the door.

Seeing Qiu Xiaozhu, Yè Qiū instinctively was going to call her "aunt," but upon seeing Tang Yú next to her, he held back and quickly changed his words: "Master."

They couldn't let others know their true relationship.

"Hello, master."

Tang Yú also greeted quickly, somewhat confused.

How had the master taken Yè Qiū as a disciple? Could it be that the protagonists have a special bond with the elders?

"Did you get poisoned? Are you feeling better?"

Qiu Xiaozhu had already heard what had happened, and looking at Yè Qiū with concern, she asked:

"The only direct descendant of my sister, I don't want him to die just from eating something bad."

"I'm already much better, thanks for worrying, master."

Yè Qiū gave a bitter smile. He still felt some discomfort in his stomach and his body felt dizzy.

"If you're better, rest well."

Qiu Xiaozhu sighed in relief, then jumped and gave Tang Yú a tap on the forehead, saying, "Come with me."

Tang Yú, feeling the pain in his forehead, quickly followed Qiu Xiaozhu outside.

Once they were at a distance, Qiu Xiaozhu shot him a fierce look and asked, "Are you alright?"

"Thanks for worrying, master, I'm fine."

Tang Yú shook his head.

[Oh, Master, she's the same…]

[A simple gesture of concern, but how it almost sounds like a threat, right?]

Hearing this thought, Qiu Xiaozhu rolled her eyes.

"Pay more attention to what you eat, don't put yourself in danger, and don't drag Yè Qiū into your problems. By the way, how did your training go today?"

"The disciple already understands the master's good intentions, I was meditating under the waterfall…"

Tang Yú, like a student turning in his homework, briefly explained what he had learned and casually mentioned that he had reached the peak of the [Heaven] level.

Upon hearing that Tang Yú had reached the peak of the [Heaven] level after meditating for so long, Qiu Xiaozhu was deeply surprised.

Does this boy have even more talent than I imagined?
