"Hehe, this old man will take it seriously. Don't lie to me. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious. " The old man laughed strangely and said, "Then why don't you stay and accompany this old man? I'll continue to guide you and help you improve even more. How about that?"
"It won't be too long, 100 universe epochs will do. I'm not talking about forever, because I know you won't agree to it."
"What? 100 universe epochs? "Jing Yang immediately exclaimed.
Although he didn't say it out loud, it was clear that Jing Yang didn't want Qin Xiao to agree.
A hundred universe epochs, that was way too long, way too long. They simply couldn't wait that long. Being trapped for so long would probably waste the best time for cultivation, which would be an irreparable loss for Qin Xiao.
Hearing this, Qin Xiao couldn't help but hesitate.
The tree-cutting old man seemed to be angry. His expression turned cold and displeased as he looked at Qin Xiao.
Without waiting for the old man to speak, Qin Xiao nodded seriously and said, "Alright, since senior has given the order, junior will naturally obey."
"Senior's great kindness in exchange for junior's companionship for 100 universe epochs is not too much. Moreover, junior will be able to gain even more by following senior, so junior is naturally willing. "
"Young master, you can't —" Jing Yang was a bit anxious. How could he really agree?
One hundred universe epochs, not ten billion years. That was too long, too long, too long.
It was so long that he couldn't even imagine it.
Therefore, Jing Yang naturally wouldn't agree to it.
If they were really trapped for 100 universe epochs, everything would change.
Qin Xiao's talent and potential were so heaven-defying. This should be a great opportunity for him to work hard. If he could grasp this opportunity, he would probably grow very quickly.
100 universe epochs was enough to change a lot of things. If he was trapped here, it was very likely that Qin Xiao would be destroyed. Therefore, even if he had to risk offending the old man, Jing Yang couldn't care less right now.
"Young master, that's absolutely not possible. We can't waste 100 universe epochs here. That way, you'll really be ruined. We can't afford to wait for such a long time. We definitely can't. An era is our limit, "Jing Yang said directly without any hesitation. Moreover, he was dead set on it.
He stared at the tree-cutter old man, clearly ready to attack.
If they couldn't come to an agreement, then they would fight.
Anyway, Jing Yang had wanted to take action from the beginning, but Qin Xiao stopped him several times, so he gave up.
Now that the situation had forced him, he naturally would not back down. He stared at the tree-cutter old man with a face full of battle intent, as if forcing the old man to back down.
The tree-cutter old man remained calm and composed. He turned a deaf ear to Jing Yang's anger and simply ignored it.
Instead, he looked at Qin Xiao with a faint smile and said, "What do you think?"
Although Jing Yang tried his best to dissuade him, Qin Xiao didn't hesitate much. He continued, "Senior, don't worry. A gentleman's word cannot be taken back. Since I've spoken, I naturally won't go back on my word. "
"It's not Qin Xiao's style to not repay kindness. If I feel guilty, I'm afraid it'll make it harder for me to cultivate. "
"Since it's senior's order, I'll respect it."
"Young master —"
Jing Yang still wanted to say something, but Qin Xiao stopped him.
"Jing Yang, don't say anything. I know what I'm doing. This is who I am. How can I not repay kindness when I've received kindness? If I ignore senior's kindness now, I'm bound to ignore the kindness of you and Master in the future. If that's the case, won't you hate me to the core? "Qin Xiao asked.
Xiao said.
Hearing Qin Xiao's words, Jing Yang couldn't help but be stunned. He was suddenly speechless.
Yes, if Qin Xiao was really that kind of ungrateful person, would he also ignore the kindness of his old master in the future?
He worshipped Qin Xiao's master and was willing to be Qin Xiao's servant and stay by his side. Why was that?
In fact, one of the main reasons was that he really admired Qin Xiao's character.
Now Qin Xiao's move was really something he didn't want to see from the bottom of his heart. But thinking about it carefully, it was indeed Qin Xiao's character.
The most valuable quality of a person was the way he conducted himself.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Jing Yang couldn't say anything to refute. However, 100 epochs of time was simply too long. He didn't know whether Young Master's move was right or wrong.
"Hahaha, interesting, really interesting." The tree-cutter old man's expression changed, and he laughed again. "You two humans are really interesting. But I can see that you are both people who value friendship and honor, and also people who keep their promises. "
"In terms of quality, it's really rare and precious, and it's also something that this old man appreciates."
"A person's heart is important. Qin Xiao, your heart is not bad. If you can keep it up, then it's really not bad. Your original heart can influence many people. "
"Actually, this old man was just testing you just now. I wanted to see if you had the heart to repay this old man. Now it seems that you do have the heart. Since you have the heart, then forget it. This old man doesn't need you to repay me. "
"If you can keep your word, then this old man has no reason to go back on my words, right? Since I just promised to let you go after cutting down the tree, if I let you go now, won't this old man become a villain? "
"This old man can't afford to lose face in front of you two little guys."
"Forget it, forget it. You can go. Just walk out directly. This old man has already opened the way for you. Even if you don't need this old man to show you the way, you can still walk out. "
After saying that, the tree-cutter old man waved his hand, as if he was shooing away chickens.
Hearing the tree-cutter old man's words, Qin Xiao was taken aback. He didn't want him to stay?
To be honest, this was naturally a good thing for Qin Xiao. If he really wanted to, then he definitely wouldn't want to stay. After all, this delay was a hundred universe epochs' worth of time. It was too slow.
If he didn't stay, then it would be for the best.
Jing Yang was also pleasantly surprised. He hurriedly withdrew his battle intent and apologized repeatedly. "I'm sorry, senior. This junior was too excited just now. Please forgive me if I offended you."
The tree-cutter old man glanced at Jing Yang and chuckled. "You humans have a bit of a temper, but you are loyal to your master. Your courage is commendable. This old man can't be bothered to argue with you."
"Thank you, senior." Jing Yang thanked him.
Before leaving, Qin Xiao said to the tree-cutter old man, "Senior, this junior would like to drink one last glass of wine. I wonder if you can fulfill my wish?"
"Okay." The tree-cutter old man was very generous and agreed immediately.
With a wave of his hand, a jug of wine appeared in the air. The two glasses stopped there.
The jug automatically filled the two glasses and flew in front of Qin Xiao and Jing Yang.
The wine was still the same wine.
The wine hadn't changed, but the wine taster's heart had changed.
After taking the glass of wine, Qin Xiao gently put it in front of his nose and sniffed it. Compared to before, the feeling this time was different.
With a different state of mind, the smell would be different, and one would be able to smell more scents.
The taste this time was also a little different from the last time.
"There's a fragrance, a rich, strong, soft, mellow, flowery, sour, spicy, and bitter …"
"There are many forms of life, and there are also many flavors of wine."
After tasting this glass of wine, Qin Xiao said with a smile. The wine lingered in his mouth and in his heart.
This time, Qin Xiao finally tasted the bitterness.
The tree-cutter old man stroked his long beard and nodded with a smile. His face was full of praise. "Not bad, not bad. It seems that you have really understood this glass of wine. The younger generation will surpass us in time."
In the face of the tree-cutter old man's praise, Qin Xiao laughed it off. He wasn't too happy.
Now, he was even calmer. A little gain was nothing.
The road of cultivation had just begun for him. There was a long and slow road ahead of him.
"What about you?" The tree-cutter old man looked at Jing Yang again.
Jing Yang pursed his lips hard and said, "There's a trace of fragrance. I can't smell anything else."
"Rotten wood." After hearing Jing Yang's words, the tree-cutter old man shook his head and said.
It was common for the tree-cutter old man to scold him as a rotten wood. Jing Yang could only smile bitterly and feel awkward.
However, Jing Yang did feel that he was a rotten wood. Compared to Young Master Yu's progress, he really had to admit that he was a rotten wood.
"After drinking my million-year-old wine, you can only taste a trace of fragrance. You're really a rotten wood. Even a pig would probably be able to taste more of it. "
"This old man's wine is very precious. You've wasted a lot of it in the past million years." The tree-cutter old man didn't show any mercy and scolded him again.
Jing Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Couldn't he admit that he was a rotten wood? There was no need to say that he was worse than a pig, right?
What kind of situation was this?
However, at this moment, Jing Yang was in a good mood, so he didn't say anything.
Let him scold him. Anyway, he would be leaving soon, so it didn't matter.
After being scolded for a million years, he didn't cultivate anything else but his skin became much thicker.
"Senior, we'll take our leave first. If there's a chance in the future, we'll definitely visit you again. "Qin Xiao bowed and saluted.
The tree-cutter old man waved his hand and said, "Go, go. Hurry up and go. It's my fault for being soft-hearted and giving you the easiest task. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to walk out of this bamboo forest. "
"Forget it, forget it. I asked for it, so I have to swallow it."
"By the way, Qin Xiao, you can take this wine too. Take it as a gift from me."
Gift wine?
Qin Xiao was slightly stunned. Qin Xiao knew how magical this wine was. It must be very precious and difficult to measure its value.
Qin Xiao didn't expect the tree-cutter old man to be so generous as to give him a pot of wine.
This pot of wine might not be much, but it was probably worth a lot.
However, Qin Xiao wasn't a pretentious person. Since the tree-cutter old man had asked, Qin Xiao didn't refuse. Instead, he accepted it graciously and said, "Then it would be impolite for me to refuse. Thank you for the wine, senior. Goodbye."
"Get lost!"
The tree-cutter old man casually threw these two words. He ignored the two and continued to chop trees.
That lonely and desolate figure was a little desolate.
After taking the wine, Qin Xiao and Jing Yang didn't stay in the same place for long. They quickly left.
This time, it went smoothly. Nothing like the previous situation happened. They walked out of the bamboo forest without any obstacles.
As soon as they left the bamboo forest, they finally saw the scenery outside and breathed in the fresh air outside.
