Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Chapter 436: Chapter 455: Entrusted Care

Aspiring Path Sect, within the plaza.

Baize, accompanied by the Four Great Beasts, came out to greet the arriving Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan descended from above.

He met face to face with Baize and the Four Great Beasts.

In Chu Yuan’s hand was the pot containing Zisu; his gaze swept over the Four Great Beasts behind Baize, realizing he did not recognize any of these four individuals.

He had initially thought Baize would introduce them one by one.

It turned out, unexpectedly, that Baize had no intention of making introductions.

This struck Chu Yuan as odd.

However, he didn’t rashly inquire.

If Baize didn’t mention it, then they were probably akin to Guest Elders.

Chu Yuan didn’t give it much thought and turned his attention back to Baize.

“Daoist Bai, it’s been a long time, hope you’ve been well,”

Chu Yuan said with a slight smile.

“Naturally in good health, but as for you, Daoist Chu, your bearing really fills me with envy,”

Baize looked at Chu Yuan, who was radiating golden light and whose every action carried the breath of heaven and earth, feeling not only envious but also… sour.

“Envious?”

Chu Yuan was taken aback, wondering if someone could actually be envious of another who lacked a physical body.

No, that’s not right.

This Baize was just a Qi Refinement weakling.

Envious of his effortless movements that bore the air of invincibility.

That seemed quite normal.

“There’s no need for envy, Daoist Bai. One day, you too will reach this stage,”

Chu Yuan offered some words of encouragement.

He somewhat set a goal for Baize, to reach the stage where one could be invincible with just a gesture or a step as soon as possible.

Although, he felt it was unlikely.

Still, the pie needed to be drawn.

Chu Yuan was just going through the motions, the act of drawing a pie in the sky.

Yet, upon hearing these words, Baize didn’t see it that way.

Baize also realized that Chu Yuan was encouraging him.

But what he believed was that Chu Yuan was encouraging him to work with the heavens and earth at an early date.

“I will, one day for sure, I’ll reach that stage. Thanks for the encouragement, Daoist Chu,”

Baize nodded seriously.

After saying this,

he became curious about the reason for Chu Yuan’s visit and couldn’t help but ask.

“Daoist Chu, I have yet to inquire about the purpose of your visit today,”

Baize added another question.

“Daoist Bai, I have indeed come here for a matter that I hope you can assist with—I would like your help in taking care of this Zisu plant,”

Chu Yuan handed over the pot that held Zisu.

“This Zisu?”

Baize looked at the pot containing Zisu, unsure of what to say.

With his vision, of course, he could see.

This Zisu had already birthed a trace of spiritual awareness.

And it seemed to harbor an aura from the ancient times.

Besides that, there appeared to be nothing else.

“This Zisu is my disciple; it just hasn’t taken form yet. I plan to ask for your assistance, Daoist Bai, in looking after it. What do you think?”

Chu Yuan asked softly.

“Take care of it for you?”

Baize was bemused for a moment.

“Yes, Daoist Bai. Just help take care of it, watering it daily is enough,”

Chu Yuan nodded as he spoke.

Without waiting for Baize to respond, he placed Zisu in Baize’s hands.

“Alright, Daoist Bai, I still have some matters to attend to, so I won’t stay here any longer. You wouldn’t refuse such a small favor, would you?”

Chu Yuan said with a teasing smile.

“This… Fine, it’s settled, Daoist Chu. I’ll take good care of this Zisu,”

Baize agreed to it.

He looked down at the pot of Zisu in his hands.

It wasn’t that he was unwilling to agree.

It was just that he feared if he couldn’t restrain himself from lifting the limits later on, the heavens and earth would start punishing him again, and the aftermath might inadvertently destroy this Zisu plant.

After all, this Zisu was a disciple of Chu Yuan.

If something truly went wrong then,

it would be difficult to handle.

Thus, Baize wanted to refuse.

But when he thought of how much Chu Yuan had helped him,

refusing even this seemed unreasonable.

In the end, he could only choose to agree.

“Then, Daoist Bai, I’ll leave this Zisu in your care, I shall take my leave now,”

Chu Yuan turned to leave.

Before he left,

Chu Yuan glanced at the Four Great Beasts.

He quietly memorized the appearances of these four individuals.

He had no other intentions.

He just thought that since these four were Guest Elders of the Aspiring Path Sect, whom he would often see,

it would be good to remember their faces.

So that later on, when others greet you, you won’t be unaware of who they are.

Chu Yuan didn’t think that a casual glance to remember these four’s faces would be noticed by them.

After all, it was just a brief glimpse.

So after a look, Chu Yuan got up and left, flying back to his own Wayless Sect.

But on the plaza,

the Four Great Beasts, by some coincidence, did notice the glance that Chu Yuan gave before leaving.

Chu Yuan’s casual glance, with the enhancement of the Invincible State, felt like it was an intimidating pressure from the world itself.

After Chu Yuan left,

the Four Great Beasts immediately collapsed to the ground, frightened.

“Did you just, just now see that? Before he left, he glared at us…”

“Saw, we saw it. His gaze was like a warning to us, indeed, he still blames us; he just spared us from his wrath because he’s so magnanimous.”

“Phew, Daoist Bai, you’re not being fair here. Didn’t we agree that he wouldn’t care? What was this about…”

The Four Great Beasts all let out a sigh and spoke one after another.

Standing a bit ahead, Baize was utterly perplexed.

Did Daoist Chu just give these four a glare a warning? How come he didn’t notice?

And as Baize, he could clearly sense some emotions.

Just now, Daoist Chu showed neither anger nor intent to kill; were these four scaring themselves?

Probably, Daoist Chu hadn’t taken the previous offense by these four to heart at all.

After all, everyone had survived from the ancient era.

There was no need to hold grudges over such matters.

Baize was about to explain once more on Chu Yuan’s behalf,

but he looked down at the pot of Zisu in his hands.

A thought suddenly occurred to him.

Why not…

trick these four into staying at the Aspiring Path Sect to help him take care of the Zisu?

Feasible.

With this in mind, Baize spoke up.

“You four…”

“You might have caught Daoist Chu at a bad time and provoked him; that’s probably why he remembered you.”

“Actually, it’s not a big deal. Daoist Chu doesn’t harbor such a strong intent to kill; he probably won’t truly strike you down, at most he’ll suppress you for a mere hundred thousand to a million years.”

Baize spoke leisurely.

He was at ease,

but upon hearing his words, the faces of the Four Great Beasts changed.

They had only just awakened not long ago and hadn’t even had the chance to properly witness this new era before facing suppression for a hundred thousand to a million years.

Who could endure that…

They would rather perish than be suppressed…
