Chapter 554 The Most Dangerous Person

"Come to think of it, Master, didn't you say in your previous communication that you can arrive tonight at the earliest?"

The three generations of master and apprentice found an empty table by the window and sat down. They waved their hands gently, and the breeze from their sleeves swept away the dirt left by the meal on the table. Ling Shuang had just sat down when he heard his apprentice's question.

This question was asked for the second time. Was Su Chang so curious about why she arrived early? Ling Shuang shook her head expressionlessly.

Su Chang shrugged. Just when she thought that the master was not going to explain, Ling Shuang came back with the most calm tone--

"I can't help it. This is the first time that my Su Chang asked me for help after becoming the head of the sect. I put down the work at hand and rushed over. I didn't move for a long time. I underestimated myself. I didn't expect to be so much faster than expected."

"Then... Master, your original work is not important, right?"

"Of course it is important. Three pieces of silk, the work period is one month, and the work has only started for a week. I don't know how long it will take."

Su Chang's brows moved and frowned, "Then... Taixu will come forward to compensate for the liquidated damages. However, if this is over quickly, with the speed of the master, it will be in time to rush back..."

Halfway through the words, Su Chang finally came to his senses--"Master! With your speed, it can be done in two hours. Weave one! One week of work will be enough to complete the orders for the whole year, right? "

"When people get old, their hands and feet will become less flexible, and why do you have to do it so quickly if you can finish it in a month? It's not the same as before. A piece of pure handmade silk is much more valuable than before."

"Hey, hey, hey! Can you two consider my feelings?"

"Hua" slapped the table hard, but when Su Shang and Ling Shuang turned to look at her, she sighed in a mature manner:

"Alas...you two, you chat as soon as you meet, you must rarely contact each other, right? This is not good, this is very bad. Anyway, communication technology is so advanced now, and you are not stubborn people like Youlan Dell who have no spare time and all training time. You can communicate more!"

After the voice fell, "Hua" naturally turned his eyes to look for the reaction of his apprentice and granddaughter.

Ling Shuang pursed her lips tightly, but there was no extra expression, and she didn't even look at her. Su Chang turned her head away with a guilty conscience, but after a while, she turned her head slowly again, with a guilty smile on her face:

"That... Grandmaster, my master and I would chat for a few words every night, and then say goodnight to each other..."

Ling Shuang couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth, but under the gaze of "Hua", she quickly pressed it back.

After thinking about it, Ling Shuang still leaned close to "Hua"'s ear and whispered:

"Master, you didn't tell us your contact information."

"Pah!"

"Hua" suddenly slapped himself on the forehead heavily, then hugged his head and retracted his legs to the chair, and kept muttering something like "How could she do this", "What is the old thing thinking in his mind", "Bah! It's what she deserves!", "Does she eat oil cakes? No, do I eat oil cakes?"

Su Shang and Ling Shuang looked at each other silently. It was clearly a vicious cold violence incident that could be labeled as "caring for empty-nest elderly people", but the air was filled with awkward and happy atmosphere.

Ling Shuang, who had just returned to Taixu Mountain, didn't understand the situation. She looked at Hua crying and making a fuss with a serious face. On the surface, she looked calm, but how could Su Shang, her apprentice, not see the cold sweat sliding down her forehead?

"Master--"

Su Shang's voice was barely perceptible, and Ling Shuang just tilted her head slightly. If it weren't for the hair hanging down from her temples fluttering twice, no one would have seen what she did.

The master and apprentice looked at each other silently again, and Su Shang slowly shook his head at her, but his eyes looked in the direction of "Hua".

Ling Shuang's breathing became heavy for a moment, and her originally slightly narrowed eyes unconsciously widened a little, and her straight back also leaned back a little--

So, what did her silly apprentice want to say?

Even if there is a so-called tacit understanding between the master and the disciple, it is difficult to capture the meaning of the other party from these unclear movements. Not to mention... Ling Shuang felt that there should not be much tacit understanding between her and this silly disciple.

However, it is not that the movements of the silly disciple are completely incomprehensible.

In other words, without her reminder, it is difficult for Ling Shuang not to find that her master seems to have some problems.

The specific situation cannot be explained in a few words, let alone a few simple micro-movements. But this is enough. Let alone "what went wrong", just "the master has a problem" is enough to give people a headache.

She has lived in seclusion in Mobei for a long time and does not know much about what has happened recently. She only saw in the news that the headquarters of Tianming seemed to have been attacked. In fact, the entire Shenzhou, including Su Shang, no, it should be said that the entire world, except for Mikael and Otto, no one knows that the Red Kite Immortal is dead.

Ling Shuang quickly turned to the right and silently watched the master who was immersed in his own world.

But Su Chang could see that this was actually a shaking of the head, because before turning right, Ling Shuang's head tilted to the right.

There was no controversy about this, it was just "ending the topic."

"Ahem!"

She clenched her right fist and coughed lightly to show that she understood.

"Master! Grandmaster! Are you hungry? I still have two buns here."

"Did you sneak down the mountain to buy them again early in the morning?"

Ling Shuang narrowed her eyes again, and the teasing in her smile was suffocating.

"Uh... cough cough cough! No! This is made by the girl who was brought here with Kiana, called Raiden Mei, the daughter of Raiden Ryoma. It has curry filling and is pretty good."

Su Chang took out a deflated oil paper bag from her wide sleeves and put it on the dining table. It was just a gesture of handing over a bun, but the Taixu head, who could obviously lift a huge stone weighing hundreds of pounds with one hand, was shaking like a sieve.

Seeing this, Ling Shuang curled her lips helplessly, and there was a glow in her narrowed eyes, probably thinking of the interesting things many, many years ago.

And just like this, the only two buns left in the oil paper were reduced to one.

"Master, you... slow down..."

"Yeah, it's the taste of Mei Yi. How about you, Su Chang, think of a way to keep this child to take charge of the food of Taixu Mountain? Anyway, she has lost the Conquest Gem and has no power of the Herrscher. I think it's better for her to be a cook."

"Uh... it depends on the opinion of Nienen, Master..."

Su Chang scratched her head and answered, her eyes accidentally meeting Ling Shuang again.

Ling Shuang shook her head and quickly added:

"Since Master likes to eat it, then eat the last one too. I don't care. By the way, Su Chang, where are your uncles and your mother? I should be the one farthest from Taixu Mountain. I'm here, why don't I see them?"

After taking a bite of the first bun, "Hua" happily took another one in her hand, as if the matter that Su Chang and Ling Shuang were talking about had nothing to do with her.

Su Chang looked a little embarrassed, but not embarrassed.

"Actually, everyone knows it. At least Master Chaoyu, Master Sumei, Wanxi, and Master Wanru all know it. The so-called vote is actually just a delay. It was originally to buy time for Nientang to arrive in Shenzhou. But we can take this opportunity to get together. On the surface, we can't get in touch with Nientang, and we don't know when Nientang will come to take back Kiana. Theoretically, the later the masters come, the better."

"Oh, I thought you would stick with that Luosha man... Wait, according to what you said, it's my fault that I came early?"

"No, no, no! No, no, no! Master was obviously the farthest away, but he was the first to arrive after receiving the news. Master's love for his disciple... love... is like a surging river... Hey, how does that sentence go..."

"Shhh——"

Ling Shuang grinned expressionlessly.

"I told you to read more after becoming the head of the sect, but how come you can't even speak a complete sentence."

"Uh... I, I've read a lot, I can even use idioms!"

"You'd have to be 500 years old to use idioms."

"... Master, can you please save some face for me in front of the Grandmaster..."

"Hehe."

Ling Shuang still had no expression on her face, only showing her signature sneer, but Su Chang didn't notice that when she kept calling him "Master", the corners of Ling Shuang's eyes went up crazily, and the pair of dead fish eyes that didn't contain much emotion almost bent into the shape of phoenix eyes.

After sneering twice, Ling Shuang was silent for a while, and picked up the topic again:

"What about your mother, and your sixth junior brother, what's the situation with them?"

When it comes to these two people, Su Chang's expression is not as lively as before.

"Uh... Master, you have lived in the northern desert for a long time, far away from the Central Plains, so you may not know... Uncle Ma has not been seen for almost sixty years. Uncle Chaoyu has sent three people to look for him, but he can't be found... This time I asked Uncle Su Mei to look for him, but there is still no news. Maybe Uncle Ma has..."

"Heh! That's not surprising. In the past, even if I lived in the desert, I could hear rumors about him from the caravan from time to time. In the past few decades, with the advent of television and the Internet, I haven't heard anyone mentioning this name. I thought he was taken back by the eldest sister to prepare for pregnancy, hahaha——"

Ling Shuang's words were unscrupulous, and Su Chang, who was 500 years old, blushed directly.

"Master! Please be serious! Uncle Ma may have really been in trouble!"

"Don't worry, good people don't live long, evil people live for thousands of years. As long as the second sister is still alive, it won't be so easy for me to die. I think the eldest sister is probably hiding in some mountain valley. Don't you think so, Master?"

Looking at Ling Shuang's posture, she really doesn't need any buns. Maybe it would be more appropriate to put a plate of melon seeds in front of her.

The Chiyuan Immortal who was named by her looked different - he raised his head innocently and quickly wiped the corners of his mouth covered with yellow curry sauce.

"Ah? What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

"..."

"..."

"Let's not talk about Ma'er, Su Shang, where is your mother?"

"My mother..."

Su Shang lowered her head, and then quickly raised it, with the corners of her mouth still raised when she smiled.

"My mother doesn't want to come. Since my father died, my mother has been hiding in Sichuan. In the past two years, she found a temple and became a nun for a month."

"Amitabha, your mother has been the kindest among the seven of us since she was a child. It's not bad to become a nun, but why doesn't she go to a Taoist temple?"

"Because she also went there to be a nun for a month eighty-seven years ago."

"..."

At this moment, even Ling Shuang, who was always venomous, didn't know what to say for a moment.

But at this moment, the helplessness and sadness that had just risen on Su Chang's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by the pride after the prank succeeded:

"Hehe, Master was also fooled by me! Just now, I secretly sent a message to my mother, telling her that the master was back, and she immediately said that she would arrive before tomorrow evening."

"It's not surprising. Your mother has been the most attached to the master among the seven of us since she was a child."

"Ah? Why do I remember that Chao Yu spent the most time with me?"

"Hua" suddenly interrupted while wiping his mouth, but when the voice fell, Ling Shuang's dead fish eyes were stuck in front of her.

"You...what are you doing!"

Although he was the master, "Hua"'s body leaned back uncontrollably. Perhaps it was because the pair of dead fish eyes without any emotion were too scary, and anyone who came would be scared.

"Nothing... just a feeling, Master has indeed forgotten many things... The eldest sister followed you the earliest, and in that era, she was old enough to be the mother of several of us. So in your memory, you think Chaoyu is the one who accompanied you the most. Besides, companionship and dependence are not the same concept. Sometimes, because of less companionship, people will be more dependent on you."

"Ah... hahaha... is that so? Then when Suyi comes, I will accompany her more..."

Lingshuang shook her head and slowly sat up.

"Master, do you still remember the story of carving a boat to find a sword that you once told us?"

"Of course..."

"The boat has moved forward for five hundred years, and Suyi no longer needs your company."

"Hua" rubbed her head vigorously. Lingshuang's words made her feel ashamed, but in addition to that, she was more angry and had nowhere to vent.

"Then...then why did the six of them go down the mountain? Su Yi was not old when she went down the mountain, and I could have stayed on the mountain with her. How can this be my fault? It can't be that I drove them down, right?"

"Hua" got a uniform sigh in response.

"It seems that you have indeed forgotten too many things, Master. It was you who drove them down the mountain, of course, it can also be said that they were the ones. Do you have no memory of what happened at that time? The side effects of Yu Duchen should not be like this."

"Ah...ah...this...that..."

"Bang!"

The sudden explosion saved "Hua", and everyone looked out the window unconsciously, but was burned by the dazzling morning sun. Despite this, the beam of red smoke rising straight up was indeed very eye-catching.

"That's it?"

"Dongfeng where Kiana is! Something happened?"

Su Chang just wanted to contact someone to confirm the situation, and "Hua" who was originally sitting opposite her suddenly disappeared, as abrupt as turning a page in a PPT.

What's more troublesome is that the disciples and elders who were having dinner were unaware of the truth and were thrown into chaos by this sudden change.

"Master, you follow the master, I'll stay here..."

"No, Su Chang."

Su Chang had already stood up, but when she heard the voice, she lowered her head and saw that the expression on the master's face was much more serious than the handover ceremony of the head of the sect five hundred years ago.

"Leave the things here to the elders, this is the meaning of their existence. And you and I, we must follow the master, and we must not let her out of sight, because... in the current state of the master, she is the most dangerous person in the entire Taixu Mountain."
