Chapter 367: What Gives Jiang Feng the Right?

Hearing Yao Lao's thundering question, Jiang Feng did not hesitate at all.

"I am grateful that Yao Lao has not abandoned me; I am willing to go to Yao Lu as a helper, and I will never regret it!"

He knew clearly in his heart that Yao Lao seemed to let him work off a debt, but in fact gave him a chance to stay in Taoyuan Village and recover his Injury in peace.

Moreover, Xi Er was watching him at this moment, and he read the expectation in her eyes.

Therefore he did not want to disappoint Xi Er.

When these words were spoken, Yao Lao's tense face finally showed a hint of satisfaction.

His previously sharp gaze softened considerably, and he lightly nodded.

"Good, you have courage."

Jiang Feng turned his head to look at Xi Er by the Window, and at that moment their gazes met.

Seeing Jiang Feng agree, Xi Er's face instantly blossomed with an extraordinarily radiant Laughter.

Jiang Feng, watching Xi Er's happy expression, felt a sigh of relief in his heart.

At least his choice is the right one for Xi Er.

"Don't worry, kid, you won't regret today's choice."

Yao Lao said lightly, then resumed that businesslike Tone.

"Since that's the case, why pick a date when you can go now; the matter should not be delayed, go with me directly to Yao Lu right now…"

As soon as Yao Lao finished speaking, without waiting for Jiang Feng's reaction, his figure flashed and vanished like a phantom right before Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng stared at the empty courtyard, suddenly at a loss for words, and his Mouth twitched involuntarily.

This Old Master is really too impatient, huh?

You could have taken me with you before you left!

You didn't even tell me where Yao Lu is, and just left like that? Where am I supposed to report?

Just as Jiang Feng felt helpless, Xi Er, with a shy expression, walked out from the inner room.

She lowered her head, both hands tightly clutching the hem of her garment.

"Jiang Feng, don't take it the wrong way, Yao Lao is just like that, I… I will take you to Yao Lao's Yao Lu, I know where it is."

"Alright."

Jiang Feng nodded, and a grateful Laughter appeared on his face.

The two walked side by side out of the small courtyard, slowly proceeding along Taoyuan Village's village Path.

Along the way, Jiang Feng could no longer hold back and asked.

"Xi Er, may I ask you something. Is there a special term for Yao Lu's apprentices? Why did you and Yao Lao both seem so eager for me to agree just now?"

He always felt this matter wasn't that simple.

Upon hearing this, Xi Er's cheek blush deepened.

Her gaze flickered, unwilling to meet Jiang Feng's eyes directly.

"Yao Lao is especially renowned throughout Taoyuan Village; his Medicine skill is the finest in the whole village, and Yao Lao has said he will select a young villager to inherit the Heirloom Vessel…"

"Yet over all these years, no one has ever earned Yao Lao's approval; you are the first, the one Yao Lao himself proposed to take to Yao Lu as an apprentice."

Xi Er paused briefly, then continued.

"If you can stay at Yao Lu, perform well, and satisfy Yao Lao, you will have a chance in the future to become the new master of Yao Lu and receive all of Yao Lao's Heritage. This is the opportunity that every young person in Taoyuan Village dreams of attaining."

As she spoke, Xi Er's voice grew softer.

In fact there was another sentence she did not utter.

Yao Lao had once whispered to her that in the future her husband would also be qualified to directly compete for Yao Lu's successor and inherit everything of Yao Lu.

That is why Yao Lao deliberately looked at her just now.

She knew clearly that Yao Lao's willingness to give Jiang Feng a choice was fundamentally because of her attitude.

But such a shy remark made her too embarrassed to tell Jiang Feng now, so she kept it hidden in her heart.

Jiang Feng let out a faint "oh" after listening, his face showing little expression.

However, in his heart he thought silently.

No wonder Yao Lao and Xi Er's reactions were so strange earlier; now it makes sense.

Taoyuan Village itself is that mysterious, so Yao Lu must also be an extraordinary sacred place; otherwise it wouldn't be that every young villager would crowd to become Yao Lao's apprentice.

It seems that this time, by chance, he has stumbled upon a once‑in‑a‑lifetime opportunity?

The two walked and talked, and before long they arrived at a thatched hut at the deepest part of the village.

The thatched hut looked very ordinary, no different from the other houses in the village, even somewhat crude.

But around the hut were planted all kinds of Herbs, and the air was filled with a strong Medicine fragrance that made one feel Divine and refreshed.

This is Yao Lao's Yao Lu.

Just as the two reached the hut's doorway, a voice full of anger suddenly rang out.

"Jiang Feng! This is Yao Lao's secluded cultivation site, the sacred ground of Taoyuan Village. You, an unknown outsider, must leave at once! Do not act recklessly here!"

Jiang Feng looked up and saw Zuo Liangchen emerge from nowhere, standing not far from the hut, his Gloomy Face terrifying.

Seeing Zuo Liangchen, Jiang Feng's face instead showed a faint smile.

"Sorry, it really was Yao Lao himself who sent me here."

As soon as he heard this, Zuo Liangchen's face was instantly covered with disbelief, as if he had heard a huge joke, and he shouted, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"As the direct grandson of the Village Chief of Taoyuan Village, recognized throughout the village as Heaven's Pride, even I cannot just come to Yao Lu to pay respects to Yao Lao, let alone wander in freely. You, an outsider wild boy, with no support, how can you earn Yao Lao's favor? How can Yao Lao personally summon you here?"

Zuo Liangchen simply did not believe Jiang Feng's words; he thought Jiang Feng was bragging and deliberately trying to provoke him.

What is Yao Lao's status! What right does Jiang Feng have to meet the old man?

Xi Er, seeing this, Immediately Standing beside Jiang Feng.

"Zuo Liangchen, stop talking nonsense! Jiang Feng didn't deceive you; it is indeed Yao Lao who sent Jiang Feng over, and Yao Lao has already agreed to let Jiang Feng become his Yao Lu apprentice!"

"What?"

Hearing Xi Er's words, Zuo Liangchen completely lost his composure.

He suddenly shivered violently, his face full of disbelief.

"Yao Lao letting Jiang Feng become an apprentice? How could that be! Absolutely impossible!"

"What gives him the right! What gives an outsider the right to become Yao Lao's apprentice? I am the Young Master of Taoyuan Village, I am the most qualified to become Yao Lao's Disciple! Xi Er, you can't do this! It must be that you are trying to anger me, deliberately saying this, right?"

"Yao Lao's standards are so high, how could he choose him as an apprentice? It must be False!"

Zuo Liangchen hysterically shouted, his emotions completely out of control.

He even Dreamed of becoming Yao Lao's apprentice, obtaining Yao Lao's Heritage, yet Yao Lao never gave him any regard.

Now Jiang Feng, an outsider, has easily gotten this opportunity; he simply cannot accept it!

Amid the roar, Zuo Liangchen's inner true Qi began to whirl wildly, white true Qi ripples emanating from his body.

Clearly pushed to the limit, he was about to clash with Jiang Feng, sparking a violent Conflict.

Just at this Thousand‑hair‑split moment, a hoary and calm voice Suddenly emanated from within Yao Lu.

"Stop!"

Hearing the voice, Zuo Liangchen's whole body went rigid, and his face instantly showed a respectful Divine expression.

"Yao Lao! You have come out!"

"Jiang Feng, this boy, casually came to disturb your cultivation, with None rules, but rest assured, I will drive him away right now, and will definitely not let him disturb you!"

But the next moment, a sentence spoken by Yao Lao directly Stone Zuo Liangchen on the spot, as if he were frozen, leaving him stunned in place.

Yao Lao was seen slowly walking out of Yao Lu, his gaze calmly sweeping over him.

"No need to drive him away, Jiang Feng, he is the new apprentice I personally invited to Yao Lu."
