Old Horse was lucky that he was found before he made any lifelong commitments to the brown female horse. Meng Jingzhou paid the fees and took away Old Horse and his carriage.
“No, no, no, You don’t have to pay this much for a stable stay,” the stable boy pushed back.
“Don’t you want the feed money? I assume you want it,” Meng Jingzhou was confused. Old Horse had already finished the high-quality feed brought for him, and Meng Jingzhou thought Old Horse had gotten so hungry that he had started eating the ordinary feed.
The stable boy shook his head: “Your horse didn’t eat anything.”
“Huh?” Meng Jingzhou was in the dark. He stroked Old Horse’s mane and asked, “Have you been fasting?”
Old Horse snorted but didn’t answer.
How could a horse talk?
Meng Jingzhou menacingly threatened: “If you don’t answer, there will be no more feed for you!”
After a long standoff between man and horse, Old Horse still didn’t answer, and Meng Jingzhou conceded defeat, guessing what was happening.
He wondered how he managed to run away from home so smoothly back then. Even his sister knew he was going to run away. The rest of the family must have known, and none of them stopped him. They didn’t seem worried about any mishaps at all.
Eliminating the possibility that he wasn’t their biological child, the only explanation could be that they knew he was safe.
The answer was now clear as day. The horse pulling the cart was his best protection.
Meng Jingzhou wondered about Old Horse’s cultivation level and his capability to protect him, it must be quite high.
Meng Jingzhou complained: “If you are so powerful, why didn’t you stop Eldest Senior Sister from getting in the carriage back then?”
Meng Jingzhou still remembered how foolish he was, thinking Eldest Senior Sister was a fellow examinee, allowing her to get in the carriage, and telling her he had obtained the exact exam questions for the entrance examination to the sect.
It was truly shameful and disgraceful.
If Old Horse had stopped Eldest Senior Sister, wouldn’t it have avoided the whole issue?
Old Horse gave Meng Jingzhou a sidelong glance, as if looking at an idiot.
Before leaving, Lu Yang greeted Guard Captain Wei, who was not surprised by the departure of the trio.
No cultivator would truly run a barbecue shop for a lifetime, they were only interested in the novelty of it. Once the novelty wore off, they would stop.
“What a pity, I’ll never be able to taste such delicious barbecue again,” Guard Captain Wei sighed, “I was hoping to catch more criminals in your barbecue shop and get promoted to a Chief Guard’s position.”
Guard Captain Wei estimated that capturing three more demon cultivators would see him promoted to Chief Guard.
“It’s good that you’re leaving, Yanjiang County might have some disturbances soon.”
“What do you mean?”
Guard Captain Wei said in a low voice: “You mustn’t tell anyone about this.”
“I understand.”
Lu Yang was certainly trustworthy: “You know County Lord Li, right? Now there are rumors that County Lord Li has colluded with a demon cultivator to get a promotion. It’s unclear whether it’s a lone demon cultivator or someone from a demonic sect, but the person’s cultivation level must be high, otherwise, he wouldn’t be qualified to collaborate with County Lord Li.”
County Lord Li’s corpse was found on Song Mountain, Chief Guard Fang suspects that a conflict of interest arose between the demon cultivator and County Lord Li. The fact that County Lord Li is dead and the demon cultivator is still alive indicates that the demon cultivator’s cultivation level is higher than County Lord Li’s. And County Lord Li was merely a step away from the Nascent Soul Stage, so you can imagine how high the demon cultivator’s cultivation level must be!”
Lu Yang shrank back his neck: “What a cruel demon cultivator!”
“That’s why I’m saying it’s a good thing you guys are leaving. Yanjiang County may seem peaceful, but who knows where a demon cultivator might be hiding, maybe right beside us!”
Lu Yang agreed wholeheartedly: “Indeed.”
Man Gu bid farewell to the barbecue shop grudgingly. The glory of the Barbarian tribe’s barbecue would not be further glorified by his generation.
The two ghouls were jubilant, celebrating that they didn’t have to barbecue day and night anymore.
Before parting, Tang Yunsheng gave a farewell to the three men, admonishing them that infiltrating the Seek Dao Sect would be fraught with difficulty, and urged them to tread with caution.
Lu Yang assured him, “Rest easy, we will definitely fulfill our duty to our organization. We will infiltrate the Seek Dao Sect, steal their secrets, and glorify our Eternity Sect.”
On the carriage, Old Horse was not rushing or slacking off in driving; though it seemed slow, the strides were in fact quite large, which involved profound knowledge of space.
Inside the carriage, the three began to chat about Immortal Eternity.
“Look, the notebook also has our names: Immortal Eternity Lu Yang, Immortal Eternity Meng Jingzhou, Immortal Eternity Man Gu,” Lu Yang chuckled. It was quite amusing to see their own names in the notes of the demonic sect.
He could find the names of all the people he knew, indicating the dedication of the demonic sect in resurrecting Immortal Eternity.
“What do you think Immortal Eternity was originally named, Mendeleev? Socrates?”
Meng Jingzhou grinned, “Perhaps it was something lowly like Dog Egg or Dog Shit, too embarrassed to say it aloud, so he hid it instead, only referring to him by his title.”
“It could potentially be a name from our Barbarian tribe.”
The three lacked any trace of reverence for Immortal Eternity, leaving Tang Yuansheng’s reminder to guess the immortal’s name at intervals, completely ignored.
“All of you should be careful, what if we accidentally guess Immortal Eternity’s actual name?” Lu Yang warned. Whether Immortal Eternity was friend or foe was still undecided; the claim that Immortal Eternity bestowed protection upon the human race was solely from the mouth of the Eternity Sect and hence could not be fully trusted.
“How about this, from now on, let’s refer to ‘Immortal Eternity’ as ‘Fairy Eternity’, that way even if we accidentally say the correct name, Immortal Eternity won’t be resurrected,” Lu Yang suggested.
Lu Yang makes a good point, I agree,” Meng Jingzhou voted in favor, raising his hand.
Man Gu thought that Brother Lu was right to be meticulous.
After traveling for a while in the carriage, the three felt hungry and decided to disembark under a small grove to eat.
The small grove blocked the annoying sunlight, creating a quiet atmosphere. Faint birdsong could be heard from afar, making people relax involuntarily.
Meng Jingzhou laid out the tablecloth, Lu Yang took out the pots and pans and the talisman for lighting the fire, and Man Gu summoned the ghouls.
The two ghouls just got unemployed for half a day, and were summoned out by Man Gu to go back to their old job, skillfully starting a barbecue.
Meng Jingzhou pulled out a cookbook and a bunch of bottles and jars, pushing them all to the two ghouls, “Stop making barbecue, let’s change the taste, you two, make the dishes according to this menu.”
Lu Yang and Man Gu looked sideways, wondering why was he carrying a cookbook?
The two ghouls could not but start from scratch, beginning with the simplest fried eggs.
If you don’t work hard in your lifetime, you have to study diligently after death.
The three of them showed no intention of taking fasting pills. Why take those when they could have tasty food?
“Tang Yunsheng guessed that Fairy Eternity is from your Barbarian tribe, did the Barbarian tribe have such a legend in ancient times?” Lu Yang asked.
Man Gu shook his head, “I heard from my elders that the ancient Barbarian tribe fought against the heavens and the earth, and battled immortals, but I have never heard of our tribe giving birth to an immortal.”
“It’s peculiar that those ruins, which recorded the greatness of Fairy Eternity, didn’t include her name.”
Meng Jingzhou analyzed logically, “Think about it, during ancient times, everyone had grand titles and names. Before they fought, they announced their names. If Fairy Eternity came forward and said ‘I’m Immortal Eternity Li Dog Egg’> rather, ‘I’m Fairy Eternity Li Dog Egg’, she would have already lost half of her momentum in the battle!”
“Fairy Eternity must have deleted this part of her shameful past!”
Lu Yang chimed in, laughing, “Or maybe the name was too cute, without any deterrent power, like ‘Fairy Eternity Yellow Bean’ or something.”
As if the seven words “Fairy Eternity Yellow Bean” touched some sort of cosmic mechanism, the world changed. An incomprehensible force circled above the three, shaping into a faint human-like silhouette.
The initially relaxed Old Horse became instantly alert, positioning himself protectively in front of Meng Jingzhou and maintaining a fixed gaze at the force above.
The three swallowed hard.
It seemed like they had stirred up a hornet’s nest.
