This monk is a bit mean

Chapter 278 I’m leaving now!

"Stop talking nonsense, let's talk after we're done!" Yun Shu cursed, and then said to Tan Zhi who was beside Master Ning: "Tan Zhi, go feed the other black ball to your master!"

Tan Zhi, who was kneeling beside Sect Leader Ning, was about to stand up after hearing Yun Shu's words.

Sect Leader Ning grabbed him and said to Yun Shu, "Fellow Daoist Yun, it's useless. I only have less than a few decades left to live. After this battle, I am already exhausted and powerless to save the situation..."

Yun Shu could actually feel a hint of relief from Sect Leader Ning's tone.

"I entered the Yunhai Sect when I was seven years old. At that time, I also dreamed of achieving great success in my cultivation and ascending to heaven. However, the spiritual energy in the Fulong Continent is thin, and my cultivation level can only remain at the initial stage of foundation building for the rest of my life."

"Master Ning, the spiritual energy of Fulong Continent has begun to slowly recover, and you still have a chance to continue to improve." Yunshu reminded.

"It's too late. My life span has ended. I don't have that much time left."

"Moreover, after practicing for a lifetime, I finally understood a truth today: practicing does not necessarily mean pursuing the supreme path."

"Practicing in an ordinary way and living a peaceful life with loved ones and friends, how can this not be another supreme path?" Sect Leader Ning said calmly.

Yun Shu shook his head slowly. He knew that the time was running out for the leader of the Yunhai Sect in front of him.

Those who can say such words expressing their feelings about life are most likely at the end of their lives.

"Master Ning, after all, it was you and your disciples who saved me. If you have any unreasonable request, please tell me!"

"I have accepted nine disciples in my life. The other eight can already go down the mountain on their own and seek their own way to survive."

"There is only this last disciple left..." Sect Leader Ning looked down at his disciple.

Tan Zhi knelt on the ground, knocked his head to the ground, and refused to look up.

He was in tears by now.

Sect Leader Ning reached out and gently stroked the top of Tan Zhi's head, and continued to say to Yun Shu: "My disciple may seem dull, but he is actually honest and kind-hearted. It's just that he is too loyal and honest, so it's easy for him to be taken advantage of in this treacherous world of cultivation."

"The one I'm most worried about is him. During the days I've been in contact with Fellow Daoist Yun, I can see that Fellow Daoist Yun has a perverse personality and never does things according to common sense, but he's talkative but warm-hearted."

"I want my disciple to follow you for a while and learn some of your ways of dealing with things. Only in this way can I survive in this cruel world of immortal cultivation."

Sect Leader Ning expressed what was in his mind. Before he died, he was still worried about his disciple who stabbed him in the back.

"Master, Tan Zhi will not follow anyone else, and Tan Zhi will not go down the mountain. Tan Zhi will only follow Master!" Tan Zhi, kneeling on the ground, burst into tears.

"Disciple, listen carefully! This is my master's last will! If you still think of me, Ning Tianyi, as your master, then listen carefully!" Sect Leader Ning rebuked Tan Zhi.

"Tan Zhijin obeys the master's orders!"

"Master Ning, I have my own things to do, and the process is full of dangers. It is not appropriate to bring him along!"

"Where in this world is there no danger?" Sect Leader Ning glanced at Yin Lao San who was lying not far away on the ground and spoke.

Yun Shu was silent for a long time, then he said: "If he is not afraid of danger, he can follow me, but I have one condition!"

"Fellow Taoist, please tell me!"

"No matter what happens, he must listen to me and not have any objections!" Yun Shu said.

"Zhi'er!"

"Tan Zhi obeys your command!" Tan Zhi kowtowed in agreement.

Sect Leader Ning smiled slightly. He suddenly stood up, clasped his fists towards Yun Shu, and then said, "Fellow Daoist Yun, I don't know who has offered a reward of 200,000 spirit stones for you. I didn't bring the wanted order with me. It is in the meeting room of my sect. After you go down the mountain, please be careful."

As soon as Sect Leader Ning finished speaking, he turned into a beam of light and flew out of the cave.

Tan Zhi, with tears all over his face, suddenly looked up and called out, "Master!"

As soon as Sect Leader Ning's escape light came out of the cave entrance, it turned into a ball of fire and spontaneously ignited.

"I am leaving now!" The flames dissipated, leaving only these words between heaven and earth.

Tan Zhi, who was standing at the entrance of the cave, stared blankly at the place where the fire had faded away and burst into tears.

Yunshu chose to remain silent.

Let this young man cry his heart out.

After a long time, Tan Zhi returned to the cave dejectedly.

"Master Yun..." Tan Zhi knelt down beside the cauldron.

"Well, I can't take your position as a master, so you can call me uncle from now on." Yun Shu said.

"Yes, uncle-master!" Tan Zhi kowtowed and agreed.

"Okay, get up. There's no need for this kind of etiquette in the future." Yun Shu was not used to Tan Zhi's overly respectful behavior.

But Tan Zhi seemed not to hear it and did not look up.

"What? Do you have anything to say?" Yun Shu asked.

"I am an orphan and have never seen what my parents look like. When I was four years old, I was begging on the roadside and was brought to the mountains by my master."

"Well, what next?" Yun Shu continued to ask.

"I want to change my name. From now on, I'll be called Ning Zhi." Ning Zhi replied.

"Ning Zhi? Okay, I'll call you Ning Zhi from now on!" Yun Shu nodded.

"Ning Zhi, hello, uncle-master!" Ning Zhi stood up and bowed respectfully to Yun Shu.

Yun Shu's eyes lit up.

At this moment, he felt that the naive boy in front of him had grown up!

"Please help me remove the firewood under the pot first, and then cremate that Yin Lao San." Yun Shu ordered.

"Yes!" Ning Zhi answered straightforwardly.

His movements were very quick and decisive. He quickly removed all the firewood from under Yunshu's pot.

During the whole process, he didn't even think about the aroma of the meat in the pot.

He piled the firewood next to Yin Laosan's body, and after rekindling the fire, he placed Yin Laosan's body on the firewood according to Yunshu's instructions.

"Take his Qiankun bag away." Yun Shu, who was watching Ning Zhi work the whole time, reminded.

Ning Zhi tore off the Qiankun bag from Yin Laosan, then walked back to the big pot and put this Qiankun bag together with Yun Shu's.

Then he stood beside the cloud tree with his hands behind his back.

"Ning Zhi, are you sure you want to follow me?" Yun Shu suddenly asked.

"Sure!" Ning Zhi answered firmly.

"I'll ask you one last question. Only if your answer satisfies me will I truly agree to let you follow me!" Yun Shu said seriously.

"Yeah." Ning Zhi nodded.

"You stabbed your master in the back. What do you think about this?" Yun Shu turned his head and stared into Ning Zhi's eyes to see how he would answer.

Yun Shu knew that this incident was the inner demon of the young man Ning Zhi. Whether he would become an immortal or a demon in the future was all because of this incident.

If he can't let go of this, then he has no right to follow me.

"Tan Zhi attacked his master because he was hit by Yin Laosan's puppet talisman. That was not Tan Zhi's original intention. Besides, Tan Zhi is dead. Now there is only Ning Zhi!" Ning Zhi looked at Yun Shu with a very firm gaze and replied.

"Well, it seems I can't do without you."

"Thank you, Uncle Master!"
