Yu Zhenghai drank three cups of wine in a row. The Tiger Ridge disciples kept pouring more wine for him.
"If I don't leave the Evil Sky Pavilion, only death awaits me."
Mingshi Yin and Zhu Honggong were stunned when they heard this.
"So serious?"
Yu Zhenghai nodded indifferently and said, "Forget it. Let's not talk about this anymore. Come, let's drink. "
"…"
Mingshi Yin emptied his cup with a dumbfounded expression on his face.
"Again."
"Eh …"
Everyone in the Evil Sky Pavilion knew that Eldest Senior Brother loved to drink.
He could ignore everything else, but he had to enjoy the wine to his heart's content.
After drinking a few cups of strong liquor, Mingshi Yin did not feel good at all.
"Eldest Senior Brother, let's catch up and drink. That box … "
Yu Zhenghai put down his wine cup and looked at Mingshi Yin solemnly. "Old Fourth, if I were to keep this box, what do you plan to do?"
"I can't disobey master's orders. You should know master's temper, Eldest Senior Brother … I'm only following orders. If I can't retrieve the box, master will naturally punish me," Mingshi Yin said.
Yu Zhenghai chuckled and said, "You weren't like this before. Junior Brother Wuya mentioned in his letter that you've changed. He said that you've become more honest, but I didn't believe him. Now that I look at it, Junior Brother Wuya is right. "
"Old Seventh really likes to gossip behind others' backs …" Mingshi Yin muttered in dissatisfaction.
"He was praising you. He didn't say anything bad about you. Why take it to heart?"
"That's more like it."
Yu Zhenghai looked at Zhu Honggong, Old Eighth, before shifting his gaze to Mingshi Yin. He asked, "Master is getting on in years. The Evil Sky Pavilion's glory days are over. Master can withstand it this year, but what about next year, the year after that, or the next ten years? "
"Eldest Senior Brother, I know what you mean … I know that Master is old and can't live past the end of his lifespan. I'm tired of hearing this!" Mingshi Yin said, "Master is still alive and well. Let's not talk about those things that haven't happened yet … We'll talk about the future in the future."
"Well said."
Yu Zhenghai could not help but applaud Mingshi Yin for his words.
Zhu Honggong applauded as well. "Well said, Fourth Senior Brother!"
Mingshi Yin rolled his eyes and reprimanded him, "Eat your food!"
Zhu Honggong raised his bowl and chopsticks and cupped them.
From time to time, he would sneak a peek.
Two big shots that I can't afford to offend are chatting. Why should I interrupt?
When Yu Zhenghai was done, he said in a serious tone,
"Fourth Brother, if you don't have a place to go in the future. You will definitely have a place in Eldest Senior Brother's Nether Sect. "
Mingshi Yin cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Eldest Senior Brother. I heard that the Nether Sect's Four Great Protectors are at least at the Six-leaf stage. It's best if I don't go because of my connections. "
"I have the final say in the Nether Sect." Yu Zhenghai's tone was brimming with confidence. When he saw Mingshi Yin was about to say something, he continued to say, "Don't be in a hurry to reject him. Nobody knows what's going to happen in the future. It's better to have a way out than a dead end. What do you think? "
Mingshi Yin was silent.
He cupped his hands in greeting and drank a cup of wine instead.
Zhu Honggong said shamelessly, "Eldest Senior Brother … Why don't the Tiger Ridge Gang join the Nether Sect?!"
Yu Zhenghai waved his hand.
"Guard your Raging Tiger Ridge well."
"…"
Zhu Honggong sensed a scornful gaze.
There was a moment of silence.
He slowly rose to his feet and cupped his fists at Yu Zhenghai as he said, "Master has ordered me to bring the box back. Eldest Senior Brother, please hand over the box. "
Smack!
Zhu Honggong's chopsticks fell on the table.
'Fourth Senior Brother … How dare he speak to Eldest Senior Brother in such a tone!
'I'm done for! If Eldest Senior Brother is enraged, I won't be able to keep this lousy gang anymore! '
Zhu Honggong looked at Yu Zhenghai from the corner of his eye.
Yu Zhenghai was not angry. On the contrary, he appeared calm. He even poured himself a cup of wine and finished it in one gulp.
He placed his cup down and nodded lightly. He said, "The box can be taken away … Send my regards to master. Tell him that I'm loyal to the Evil Sky Pavilion even though I'm in the nine provinces and four seas."
Mingshi Yin said, "Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother. I'll relay your message."
Yu Zhenghai waved his hand.
The mysterious box in the corner floated toward Mingshi Yin.
Mingshi Yin caught it with one hand. It was as light as a feather.
"Old Eighth … I'll have to report back to the Evil Sky Pavilion. If I have the time, I'll visit you often."
"Huh? Don't, don't, don't … Don't be so polite. You're more than welcome! "Zhu Honggong said.
Mingshi Yin nodded. He turned around and walked out of the gang.
"Safe journey, Fourth Senior Brother," Zhu Honggong said.
In just a blink of an eye, Mingshi Yin vanished from sight.
Zhu Honggong wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Eldest Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Brother is too much. How dare he speak to you in such a tone? If it weren't for the fact that he's so skinny, I would've beaten him up a long time ago!"
"Hm?"
"Uh, of course. Eldest Senior Brother wouldn't care about such a trivial matter. However, it's a pity about the box, "Zhu Honggong said.
"The box is made of a unique material. Even the Four Great Protectors couldn't break it open. The final key to open it is in master's hands. Hence, the box is useless to us. "
"Is it that amazing? If the box is so sturdy, we might as well use it as a weapon, "Zhu Honggong said casually.
Yu Zhenghai looked at Zhu Honggong again.
"E-Eldest Senior Brother, I … I misspoke again."
"No, you're right this time."
"…"
The box that could not be broken by any top-grade heaven-grade weapon could be considered an indestructible treasure!
Zhu Honggong pinched his thigh. He was filled with regret.
However, everyone's attention was focused on the item inside the box. They had overlooked a simple fact.
Meanwhile.
Mingshi Yin returned to the Evil Sky Pavilion.
He was in the great hall.
"Little Junior Sister, where's master?" Mingshi Yin walked over with the box in his arms.
"Fourth Senior Brother, you're back! Unfortunately, master thought you'd be back later so he went to the hidden chamber. "
Mingshi Yin nodded and said, "I was unlucky to run into you, Eldest Senior Brother. Fortunately, I was tough and reprimanded him. He knew he was in the wrong and didn't dare to argue with me. He could only give me the box. "
Little Yuan 'er clapped and said, "Fourth Senior Brother, you're the best!"
Mingshi Yin nodded. The two of them walked around the great hall and toward the hidden chamber.
Shortly after, they arrived near the hidden chamber.
Mingshi Yin bowed and said, "Master, I've accomplished my mission. I've retrieved the box."
Inside the hidden chamber.
When Lu Zhou heard Mingshi Yin's voice, he opened his eyes.
He sat cross-legged in the hidden chamber and asked via voice projection, "How's the box?"
"The senior brothers didn't make things difficult for me. They've used their weapons and activated the box. All that's left is the Amorous Hoop, and the box will open," Mingshi Yin said.
Whizz!
The hidden chamber's door opened slowly.
Lu Zhou walked out with his hands on his back. His gaze fell on the box in front of Mingshi Yin.
Mingshi Yin was secretly delighted. 'I've done a great job this time.
Isn't master a little too nice? '
Lu Zhou ignored Mingshi Yin. Instead, he studied the box. There was a groove on each side. The Amorous Hoop was the only one that remained untouched.
'I hope this mysterious box doesn't contain trash.'
He muttered to himself, "I'll need a lucky hand to open the box."
