Towards Han Yunxi threatening her cold as ice and emotionless father, everyone had the same reaction. They were all a bit worried.
Long Fei Ye looked at Han Yunxi's big belly and said in a Cold voice, "Don't run up the mountain. I'll talk to him myself, I should be able to reach an agreement."
Everyone was very curious. Han Yunxi asked in a doubtful voice, "How are you going to talk to him?"
"I'm going to talk to him about a deal!" Long Fei Ye said.
"What kind of deal? I'll go with you! "Gu quickly said.
"No need. Just wait for my news. "
Long Fei Ye did not reveal anything. He seriously looked at Han Yunxi, warning her to obediently stay here and not go up the mountain.
Han Yunxi knew his temper and helplessly said, "Alright, help me take a look at Xiao Yu 'er's situation. Tell her to come back as soon as possible if she doesn't want to become a disciple."
After Long Fei Ye left, Han Yunxi did not remain idle. She and Gu Beiyue seriously looked over Gu Yuntian's list of herbs.
The two of them were not experts in medicine, so they just listed the herbs that could be bought. They gave the ones that couldn't be bought and some that they had never seen before to Gu for him to find.
"Seventh Young Master, what other plants feed on flesh and blood? Let's find them all." Han Yunxi honestly said.
Looking at the Poison Girl's serious and bright eyes, Gu felt like the countless dark years of his past were being illuminated by the sun. To be able to make the Poison Girl be serious for him, whether it was eternal life or an early death, he was satisfied.
Gu narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Alright, I'll go find them now!"
While Han Yunxi's group of three were looking for herbs, Long Fei Ye quickly arrived at the maze. He entered the abyss filled with sharp arrows and knocked on the spot where the barrier had been opened a few times.
After a while, the barrier was broken and the entrance to the underground palace appeared. The ones who came out were black clothed guards.
"East Qin Crown Prince, our sect master is not seeing guests." The black clothed guard was very rude.
"This prince is not here to see your sect master. Where's Su Xiaoyu? Tell her to come out. "Long Fei Ye wasn't polite.
There was no way he would be able to meet Han Chen if he wanted to make a deal with him. Su Xiaoyu hadn't returned for such a long time. Either she had already become a disciple of Han Chen, or Han Chen had forced her to stay.
Su Xiaoyu was Han Yunxi's subordinate. Even if she wanted to be apprenticed to Han Yunxi, she still needed Han Yunxi's approval to let her go!
Of course, the deal Long Fei Ye wanted to discuss had nothing to do with Su Xiaoyu. Su Xiaoyu was just an excuse for him to meet with Han Chen.
Intimidated by Long Fei Ye's aura, the black-clothed guard's attitude softened. "Please wait a moment."
After a while, Han Chen's old servant personally led Long Fei Ye into the underground palace. For the old servant to personally come, it meant that Long Fei Ye's "son-in-law" still had some weight in Han Chen's heart.
No matter what their temper was, a true expert would always respect another expert.
However, Long Fei Ye didn't see Han Chen, rather he saw Su Xiaoyu in a stone room.
Facing an aloof sect master like Han Chen, Su Xiaoyu wasn't afraid at all. Rather when she saw Long Fei Ye, she was afraid and didn't even dare look up at him.
After the stone room's door closed, before Long Fei Ye could speak, Su Xiaoyu timidly said, "Your highness, save me ….."
Long Fei Ye was very surprised. He Coldly asked, "Why?"
Su Xiaoyu immediately told him how she'd tricked Han Chen into thinking for three days before becoming his disciple, and how she'd tortured Bai Yanqing.
"That doesn't count as lying to him," Long Feiye commented.
"Your highness ….. I said I'd go back and think about it, but he wanted me to stay. He left without saying a word and didn't even want to see me," Su Xiaoyu hurriedly added.
Over the past two days, she'd repeatedly asked the servants to leave, but the servants' answers were the same. Without the sect master's permission, they couldn't bring anyone out. When she asked to see senior Han Chen, the same thing happened. Han Chen was cultivating and didn't want to see anyone.
She faintly sensed that Han Chen had seen through her little trick long ago. That was why he'd asked her to stay.
"It seems like he really wants to take you as his disciple," Long Fei Ye said indifferently.
"Your highness, I still have to go back and serve my master ….. Please have mercy on me, Your Highness!" Su Xiaoyu was so frightened that she fell to her knees. She had a feeling that something wasn't right about His Highness coming here alone.
Long Fei Ye walked over and bent down beside Su Xiaoyu. He said coldly, "Su Xiaoyu, become Han Chen's disciple and help your master gather information in the Wolf Sect and the Mysterious Continent. What do you think?"
Su Xiaoyu froze when she heard this. Only then did she realize that Long Fei Ye really did have ambitions for the Mysterious Continent. Su Xiaoyu was very reluctant to become Han Chen's disciple, but when she thought about it carefully, her eyes gradually brightened. If she became Han Chen's disciple, she might be able to conquer the Mysterious Continent with her master one day!
"This servant is willing to serve!" Su Xiaoyu smiled slyly.
Long Fei Ye was quite satisfied. He didn't plan to let Han Yunxi keep Su Xiaoyu by her side. Su Xiaoyu was kind, but not benevolent. He didn't want Su Xiaoyu's vicious nature to affect his child in the future.
Since Han Chen had taken a liking to this girl, it was not a bad choice to throw this vicious girl to Han Chen! This child was too suitable for the Mysterious Continent, a world where strength reigned supreme.
Su Xiaoyu was very smart. She immediately understood what Long Fei Ye wanted to do after a few words from Long Fei Ye. She whispered, "Don't worry, Your Highness. This servant knows what to do."
Soon, Su Xiaoyu called for a black-robed attendant. "Tell your sect master that I've thought it over. My master and I want to see him."
Not long after, the black-clothed attendant led the master and servant to the altar.
As soon as they entered the stone room, they could smell the faint aroma of tea.
Long Fei Ye smiled. "If you can drink winter flakes at that time, it must be the Ice Sea Red from the Ice Sea."
Han Chen was sitting by the tea table. He didn't say anything, but he personally poured a cup of tea and placed it on the table opposite him. He then gestured to Long Fei Ye to take a seat.
Long Feiye made a bow with clasped hands before taking a seat and leisurely sipping his tea without a word. Han Chen also picked up his tea and didn't say anything.
The servants on the side were surprised to see this.
The sect master had a hobby that no one knew. He liked to pick his own tea leaves and brew them. He never drank tea that was bought or given to him by outsiders. The East Qin Crown Prince could tell where the sect master's tea came from just by smelling it? Wasn't he too much of an expert? Could it be that he was also a tea fanatic?
Su Xiaoyu stood in place and secretly glanced at Han Chen before timidly looking at Long Fei Ye. She didn't feel like these two were father-in-law and son-in-law at all. Rather, they were like tea friends with similar interests.
Long Fei Ye finished his cup of tea and softly said, "I picked it a month ago and dried it under the scorching sun of the south. When I baked it, I added the fresh autumn osmanthus fragrance. This cup is the first time and the second time is the best. Can I have a cup? "
Han Chen's calm eyes immediately lit up. He raised his brows as he looked at Long Fei Ye and Cold said, "I didn't think you were an expert!"
Long Fei Ye's lips curled into a smile, but he didn't say anything.
Han Chen immediately brewed the second time. After Long Fei Ye tasted it, he immediately shook his head. "You used the wrong water. Ice Sea Water can't compare to Mountain Spring Water. Senior should try Mountain Spring Water, it tastes better."
Han Chen actually laughed. Just like Long Fei Ye, he didn't laugh out loud. He only curled the corners of his lips into a smile. He immediately ordered someone to bring over a new batch of tea and Mountain Spring Water.
Just like that, the father-in-law and son-in-law began to chat about the art of tea. They chatted for half a day.
Su Xiaoyu's legs were sore from standing, so she secretly sat down cross-legged.
If Han Chen had been alone, she would've already spoken up. But with His Highness around, she didn't dare to make a sound.
The two people who cherished words like gold chatted. Although there wasn't much of a smile on their faces, they talked more and more.
In the end, Han Chen seemed to be in a good mood. He actually gave Long Fei Ye a purple muslin teapot. Long Fei Ye probably wouldn't have liked a teapot given to him by anyone else, but Long Fei Ye liked the one Han Chen gave him very much.
Su Xiaoyu listened from the side and thought about what His Highness had just said to her. She really couldn't tell how much His Highness was sincere or hypocritical about Han Chen. She was sure that if Han Chen wanted to play politics with His Highness, he would definitely be tricked by His Highness!
When they were almost done talking, Han Chen finally looked at Su Xiaoyu and asked, "Girl, have you decided?"
Su Xiaoyu immediately perked up and said seriously, "I've decided!"
Han Chen didn't ask any more questions and waited for her to continue.
Su Xiaoyu said frankly, "I can become your disciple, but I have a condition."
Su Xiaoyu wanted to see Han Chen's reaction, but he didn't.
Thus, she continued, "Senior, please return the nine poisonous teardrops and Bai Yanqing to my master. My master went through a lot of danger to find the nine poisonous teardrops. In order to capture Bai Yanqing, she almost had a miscarriage and lost her child … "
Before Su Xiaoyu could finish, Han Chen interrupted, "And if this sovereign doesn't return them?"
"A gentleman doesn't steal from others! Stealing from others is simply despicable! I, Su Xiaoyu, will never acknowledge such a master! "Su Xiaoyu said seriously.
Han Chen was silent for a moment, then asked expressionlessly, "One Ning Jing in exchange for one Bai Yanqing, twenty years of protection for Cloud Realm's northern borders, and nine poisonous teardrops. How is that stealing from others?"
"Even if it's not stealing from others, it's still looting a burning house!" Su Xiaoyu huffed.
Han Chen glanced at Long Fei Ye out of the corner of his eye and snorted, "Su Xiaoyu, your master doesn't have any objections. What are you worried about?"
"He's just unhappy because he can't see my master being wronged! Especially when she's being bullied by her own father! " Su Xiaoyu laughed coldly. "Han Congan bullied her, Bai Yanqing bullied her, and now her own father is bullying her! Even a monkey that jumped out of a stone without parents has a better life than her! As I see it, she might not even acknowledge you as her father after ten years! "
Despite Su Xiaoyu's curses, Han Chen was still unmoved. Very calmly, he said, "This condition is impossible. Change it."
Just how cold-hearted can this guy be?! Su Xiaoyu almost suspected that he didn't understand joy, anger, sorrow, joy, or the seven emotions and six desires at all! Goading him into action wouldn't work at all!
"I'm not changing! If you're not sincere about taking me in as a disciple, then forget it! I'll have to trouble you to let me out! "
Su Xiaoyu turned to leave, but Long Fei Ye spoke up at this moment. "I think Yunxi's been depressed these past few days because of this as well. Senior, how about this? This junior will make a condition for you to consider. "
