"I was just lucky." Yan Li brushed it off and said, "What are you planning to do, old brother? Did you suffer some grievances in the city? Just tell me, I'll help you. "
"No, of course not." Ba Jin shook his head and said with a smile, "I have hundreds of mouths to feed. It's not easy to live in White Water City. Now that I've lost an arm, I can't work as a headhunter anymore. I'm thinking of returning to the human world with this pension. I'll look for a place with verdant hills and clear waters, build a village, and live a carefree life. I've even thought of a name. I'll call it Old Ba Village. "
"I see." Yan Li said with a smile, "Old brother, you're a man who knows when to advance and when to retreat."
"In life, one should let go when it's time to." Ba Jin heaved a long sigh and patted Yan Li's shoulder. "It's a pity that we're on a tight schedule. Otherwise, we'd drink until we're drunk."
"There are eight realms in the human world. What's your goal, old brother?" Yan Li asked.
"I haven't decided yet." Ba Jin smiled bitterly and said, "I'm hot-headed and have an idea on the spur of the moment. I can't sit still as I watch my money bag shrink bit by bit. I've been through it, and I know what it's like to be poor. I can't let them suffer like I did. "
Yan Li gave it some thought and said, "Why don't we go to the White Tiger Domain?"
"Oh?" Ba Jin said.
"I have some property in the White Tiger Domain." Yan Li said tactfully, "Of course, it's not very honorable. If you're interested, you can stay in Lu Province City."
Ba Jin muttered to himself for a moment before he said with a smile, "I appreciate your kindness, brother. I only wish for them to live an ordinary life and never set foot in the Jianghu again. "
In other words, he wanted to live in seclusion.
"Grandpa Ba Jin, Grandpa Ba Jin, come on board and play with us."
"Grandpa Ba Jin, I want to play hide-and-seek. Come and catch us."
At this moment, two little heads peeked out from the side of the ship. They had uneven teeth and shallow dimples.
"Hey, I'm coming." Ba Jin answered with a smile, then said, "Brother, when I settle down, I'll write you a letter. Remember to come and drink with me."
"No problem," Yan Li said readily.
Ba Jin stopped smiling. He looked at White Water City from afar and nodded at Yan Li solemnly. "Goodbye!"
Yan Li knew that the other party was not only saying goodbye to him, but also to this Jianghu man who lived on the edge of a knife but could easily repay kindness and enmity. He solemnly cupped his fists and bowed. "Take care, old brother."
Ba Jin turned around and boarded the boat. He smiled and waved at Yan Li.
His decision to retreat in the face of a crisis was correct.
But would the right choice lead to light and hope?
The ship sailed further and further away into the darkness against the setting sun.
Yan Li opened his mouth to shout, but nothing came out. Just like how others couldn't interfere with his destiny, he couldn't interfere with others' destiny either.
Moreover, there was not much time left.
He turned around and returned to White Water City. He came to a grocery store.
Gu Haiyuan was sending away a customer who came to order a relic. He said in a neutral tone when he saw Yan Li, "Hehe, I was wondering why the magpies on the roof were singing so much today. It turns out that the distinguished guest from Cangjian Peak is coming. Sorry for not going out to greet you."
"Is it funny?" Yan Li asked.
"Is it not funny?" Gu Haiyuan walked to the counter to tidy up the items.
"It's not funny at all," Yan Li said.
Gu Haiyuan suddenly stopped and said, "Why did you choose Cangjian Peak that has no future?"
"Who said that Cangjian Peak has no future?" Yan Li said.
"Doesn't everyone say that?" Gu Haiyuan was stunned and then raised his voice, "Don't think that I don't know that the disciples of Cangjian Peak can be counted with one hand!"
Yan Li rolled his eyes and walked into the room, "You are really well-informed. What else do you know? "
"Humph, I also have friends in the Court Of Sword," Gu Haiyuan said arrogantly. But seeing that Yan Li had already gone in and didn't listen to him, he felt bored.
He followed in, "Tell me, what's so good about Cangjian Peak other than occupying the Pillar of Sky Mountain? Don't you know that the Pillar of Sky Mountain will be occupied by the Heavenly Sword Peak sooner or later? There's no smoke without fire. I'm afraid that it's a rumor spread by someone from the Heavenly Sword Peak! "
"Only the virtuous can live in a blessed place." He lit the oil lamp, sat down opposite Yan Li, and crossed his legs, "The Heavenly Sword Peak has one hundred thousand sword cultivators. How terrifying their strength is! How can the Heavenly Sword Peak accommodate them now? They should have moved long ago."
"It has nothing to do with you," Yan Li poured a glass of water and drank it, then said grumpily, "You are an old man. Don't worry too much!"
"I feel pity for you, don't I?" Gu Haiyuan stared at him, "Although the Heavenly Sword Peak already has four groups of Heavenly Thunder and Scarlet Rain, and each of them is a personal disciple of Supreme Mountain and Sea, with your aptitude, it's not difficult for you to open a new branch. Maybe in the future, you will be one of the five groups of Heavenly Thunder, Scarlet Rain, and Swallow. In the system of Confucian orthodoxy, you will be in a really high position."
Yan Li said, "I have my own plans."
"I know. Isn't it better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix?" Gu Haiyuan disdainfully reached out his hand to pour water, "You young people always think too highly of yourself. Is it hard to admit that others are better than you?"
Yan Li felt a little nauseous, pushed the cup away in disgust, and then laughed at himself, "I don't have the choice. Cut the crap, how is the Magical Fantasy Dust Lock repaired? "
Gu Haiyuan said proudly, "Is it difficult for me to repair it? I've made some improvements on the original foundation. Take it and play with it. "As he said that, he threw an item over.
Yan Li caught it and found it was a bead that was constantly changing between black, white, and gray colors, "This is the Magical Fantasy Dust Lock?"
"That's right." Gu Haiyuan said, "In the process of analyzing the Seed of Chaos, I got a new ancient talisman and was suddenly inspired to improve its core. Now I renamed it as the Chaos Bead. Apart from retaining its original ability, it also has some wonderful uses. You can explore it yourself."
"Other than taking it, I also came for the Seed of Chaos." Yan Li said.
Gu Haiyuan immediately became vigilant and said, "You want to take it away? No, I'm still analyzing it! "
Yan Li stood up and said, "I'll only give you one year."
"One year? Impossible! " Gu Haiyuan exclaimed, "In this world, apart from me, Gu Haiyuan, who can analyze it in ten years, you won't be able to find anyone faster than me."
"Is one year very short?" Yan Li said lightly, "You are the direct disciple of the Heavenly God Disciple, the Heavenly Master Craftsman that all the Nine Great Confucian orthodoxy dream of. I believe you can do it."
"Isn't this making things difficult for me?" Gu Haiyuan mumbled, but he couldn't hide the heroic spirit in his eyes, "But, since you said so, I'll give it a try. But don't put too much hope on the result."
