Just as famous as Granny Love Flower's skill was her temper.
Granny Love Flower's temper was known to be eccentric. There were three things she would not save: those who were beautiful, those who were not pleasing to the eye, and those who were devoid of conscience.
According to Granny, if one was ugly, one would lose one's appetite and have no motivation to save others. If one was not pleasing to the eye, was there even a need to live? It was better to die. The standard for devoid of conscience depended on Granny. If she was in a bad mood and saw you kill a fly, she would put the same word on your head. It did not count.
If Granny did not cure you, even God would not help.
Perhaps from this description, one conclusion could be drawn: Granny Love Flower was not a good person.
For example, a good person would not step on others and humiliate them. "Green Head, is this your first time here? Have you forgotten Granny's rules? What's the point of living for a toad-like small character like you, whose cultivation can't even be seen in public, huh? Why don't you just die! "
Her words were full of sarcasm.
"Granny, save me, save me …"
Shen Liuyun stood at the door with a strange look on her face.
This was a courtyard that was neither too big nor too small. The main door was wide open, and a man in a grey robe was kneeling in the courtyard. The one stepping on the man in the grey robe was a little old woman. Just by looking at the white hair on her temples and the numerous wrinkles on her face, one could tell that she was no longer young.
Zhuge Xiaoshan said awkwardly, "Sister Shen, please forgive me. Master's wife is a little strange, but she's a good person. You'll know after a while."
"Who's talking outside?" Granny Love Flower shouted.
"Master …" Zhuge Xiaoshan smiled and was about to greet her when the man under Granny Love Flower's foot suddenly shouted, "Granny, the scapegoats are here. I'll kill them and use them as scapegoats. Is that okay?"
With that, he darted out like a cat.
Granny Love Flower saw who it was and her face changed. She waved her hand and a white powder shot out and hit the man in the grey robe.
The man in the grey robe turned from a cat to a drunk cat. He staggered and fell to the ground with a strange smile on his face. Then he started to foam at the mouth.
"Mistress!" Zhuge Xiaoshan was both surprised and amused. "Quick, save him."
"He won't die." Granny Passion Flower walked slowly to the door. Suddenly, a smile blossomed on her face. "Little Shan, when did you come? Why didn't you inform me in advance? I wasn't prepared."
As she tidied up her appearance, she looked left and right, but did not see that familiar figure.
"Master's wife, Master didn't come." Zhuge Xiaoshan smiled bitterly.
Granny Passion Flower stopped what she was doing and her smile turned cold. "Then why are you here? I don't need anyone to serve me here."
"I'm here to see Master's wife, and also to bring someone to visit you." Zhuge Xiaoshan said with a smile as if he was used to it.
"If I don't see you, I'll be annoyed. All of you, scram!" Granny Passion Flower said as she turned around and slammed the door shut.
The three of them looked at each other in dismay.
Shen Liuyun said, "Looks like it's not easy to learn something."
Zhuge Xiaoshan sighed guiltily. "Master's wife doesn't usually act like this."
The door suddenly opened again. Granny Passion Flower stared at Shen Liuyun with her bloodshot eyes. "You want to learn something?"
Shen Liuyun was stunned. "Junior Shen Liuyun, I'm here to ask Senior for advice."
"Why should I teach you?" Granny Passion Flower's face darkened. "Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you're pretty. I won't teach you anything. Just give up and scram!"
With that, she slammed the door shut again.
Zhuge Xiaoshan was getting more and more embarrassed. He whispered to Shen Liuyun, "Master's wife became famous because of poison, but it also robbed her of her youth and beauty. She was extremely sad and moved here alone, so …"
"It's okay, I don't mind." Shen Liuyun said.
The door suddenly opened again. Granny Passion Flower seemed to have regained her composure. She said calmly, "Since you're already here, why are you still standing outside? Come on in." She turned and walked into the house.
The gate to the courtyard was finally opened to them.
"Let's see." Zhuge Xiaoshan smiled knowingly.
The three of them entered the courtyard and closed the door behind them. They saw the man in grey still lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth.
Entering the main room, Granny Passion Flower sat on a rattan chair. She looked coldly at Shen Liuyun and Yan Chaoyang, and finally fixed her gaze on Yan Chaoyang. "The old man said he took in a disciple. Is it you?"
"Master's wife." Yan Chaoyang called out.
Granny Passion Flower immediately shrieked, "His voice is so unpleasant and he looks so ordinary. Why did you take him in?"
Yan Chaoyang could not answer this question.
Zhuge Xiaoshan smiled bitterly. "Master's wife, Senior Brother is learning how to brew wine from Master, not to participate in a beauty contest."
"Hmph!" Granny Passion Flower said coldly. "That old man's taste is getting worse and worse. It's one thing that he doesn't mind when I'm old and ugly, but his disciple is the same."
But as she spoke, there was a gentle light in her eyes.
"Master said that you can go back whenever you want." Zhuge Xiaoshan said softly.
"I'm not going back, I'm not going back …" Granny Passion Flower touched her face sadly. "I'll let him remember me at my most beautiful …"
Silence fell over the room.
After a while, Granny Passion Flower suddenly stared at Shen Liuyun. "You want to be my disciple?"
"I don't want to be your disciple." Shen Liuyun said.
Granny Passion Flower was visibly surprised. "Then why are you here?"
"To learn something from Senior." Shen Liuyun said.
"You want to learn something without a master?" Granny Passion Flower said mockingly. "Not only do I never take in disciples, even if I did, I wouldn't take you in. The door is right behind you. You can scram now. "
Shen Liuyun said calmly, "I heard that Senior has a rule. As long as I complete a task, I can ask for anything."
"So what?" Granny Passion Flower said.
Shen Liuyun said, "I would like to try this challenge."
"You?" Granny Passion Flower said mockingly. "Your aura is not strong enough. You haven't reached the Enlightenment Stage yet. At most, you're in the Upper Realm. There are countless Cultivators in the Great Desert Plains. Why do you think they don't ask for anything from me? "
"They only ask if I can or can't," Shen Liuyun said calmly.
"What an arrogant girl!" Granny Passion Flower laughed strangely. "Fine. If you can complete it, I'll teach you. Listen carefully. About three hundred miles northwest of the Fairy Trail of Verdant Grass, there's a patch of wild rocks. There's a poisonous flower called 'Wild Bite'. If you can get the flower stem of the Wild Bite, you'll complete the task. "
Shen Liuyun turned to leave.
Zhuge Xiaoshan hurriedly stopped her. "Sister Shen, you can't go there alone."
Shen Liuyun smiled. "Of course I'm not stupid. I'll go find a hunting party."
"Then you must be careful, Sister." Zhuge Xiaoshan heaved a sigh of relief.
"I know." Shen Liuyun said and left.
Zhuge Xiaoshan and Yan Chaoyang looked at each other and whispered, "Let's go help Sister Shen?"
Yan Chaoyang nodded happily.
Zhuge Xiaoshan smiled at Granny Passion Flower. "Ma 'am, I want to bring Senior Brother to the Fairy Trail of Verdant Grass. I won't be back for dinner."
"Hmph." Granny Passion Flower had already seen through his intentions and ignored him.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was already the next day. Ji Hyun-woon's hunting party entered the Fairy Trail of Verdant Grass at noon and found Granny Passion Flower's residence.
He pushed the door open and saw an old granny lying on a rattan chair, pretending to sleep. "Granny, wake up. Granny, is this where Second Mistress Wen lives?"
Granny Passion Flower opened her eyes slightly. "No, get lost."
Ji Hyun-woon was furious. "You old granny, you don't know any better. Xiao Wang asked you nicely, how dare you be so rude!"
"Crown Prince, let me do the talking."
At this moment, Yuchi Zhenjin walked in and smiled at Granny Passion Flower. "Second Mistress Wen, do you still recognize me?"
Granny Passion Flower looked at him and suddenly sat up. "It's you!"
"It's me." Yuchi Zhenjin smiled.
Granny Passion Flower frowned. "What are you doing here?"
"I have a poisoned person here who needs Second Mistress Wen's help." Yuchi Zhenjin said.
"What poison?" Granny Passion Flower had no intention of refusing.
Yuchi Zhenjin said, "The Underworld Scorpion."
Granny Passion Flower raised an eyebrow. "Are you joking with me?"
"Not at all." Yuchi Zhenjin said.
"You should know," Granny Passion Flower said calmly, "The Underworld Scorpion's poison is incurable."
"I know." Yuchi Zhenjin said.
"Then why did you bring him here?" Granny Passion Flower's expression was unfriendly. "Are you trying to ruin my reputation?"
"This person's situation is special. Second Mistress, why don't you take a look first?" Yuchi Zhenjin said.
Granny Passion Flower thought for a moment and snorted. "I'd like to see what you're up to this time." She then walked into the house.
Yuchi Zhenjin called out, "Bring him in."
Two cultivators carried a stretcher and carried Yan Li into the house.
"Isn't this a dead person?" Granny Passion Flower screamed. "How dare you bring a dead person here!"
"Second Mistress, why don't you take a look first?" Yuchi Zhenjin smiled calmly.
Granny Passion Flower squatted down doubtfully and felt Yan Li's pulse. Her frown deepened. "This pulse is no different from that of a dead person. But … "
Her murky eyes suddenly shone with a bright light. "There's a supreme power that surpasses poison protecting his heart meridian. In this world, there's only one method that has such a characteristic …"
"The Green Lotus Sword Song." Yuchi Zhenjin continued, "Second Mistress, are you interested now?"
"How does he know Half-Mountain Hut's secret?" Granny Passion Flower asked suspiciously. "That doesn't make sense!"
"More accurately, it's the legacy of the Green Lotus Sword Deity." Yuchi Zhenjin said, "Everyone knows that the Green Lotus Sword Song was destroyed by the Sword Deity. Only one form remains in this world. Half-Mountain Hut has this form, and it's enough to protect himself. Perhaps this person has obtained the complete legacy. Second Mistress, why don't you do him a favor? "
Granny Passion Flower laughed coldly. "That's easy for you to say."
"I believe it won't be a problem for Second Mistress." Yuchi Zhenjin smiled.
"Give me one day. Whether or not he succeeds will depend on this kid's luck." Granny Passion Flower finally agreed.
