Chapter 407: Master Uncle, this is no good

His words were full of sighs of reaching life's end; listening to Yu Mo mutter to himself, Ye Zhangqing also felt uneasy.

Why is the Dao Yi Sect so strong? Why do people hold its disciples in high regard? Why does simply wearing the sect's disciple robes bring many conveniences when traveling outside, even adding a measure of safety?

Isn't it precisely because there are seniors like Yu Mo protecting them?

The strength of the Dao Yi Sect is propped up by these senior powerhouses like Yu Mo.

"What does the Old Ancestor need the disciple to do?"

He asked with a serious expression; although it was their first meeting, Yu Mo and his two companions still earned Ye Zhangqing's respect.

It's only because they three wholeheartedly think of the sect and the junior generation.

Upon hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, Yu Mo flashed a smile in his eyes, yet kept his expression unchanged as he spoke.

"I, the old man, have long sought nothing in this life; I have seen all there is to see in the world, and possessed all there is to possess."

"Power, status, and the like—to this old man, they are nothing but fleeting clouds."

"At the end of this life, I just want to follow my heart a bit more. You, kid, have decent skills; I will spend my remaining time looking after your growth. Besides peers, you need not worry about any other seniors. As repayment, you just need to provide me with food."

"In short, I just want to eat."

Upon hearing that, Ye Zhangqing nodded without much hesitation.

"On one hand, it's because of my respect; on the other, a few meals can secure a Great Saint Realm guardian—this is no loss either way."

Seeing Ye Zhangqing nod, Yu Mo continued in an unchanged tone.

"Then it's settled."

"It's settled."

"Good, I happen to be a bit hungry now, kid—go get something to eat."

"Huh???"

"How come something feels off? He just agreed and now he's hungry? But Ye Zhangqing didn't say much, nodded, got up, and headed toward the kitchen."

After he left, Bai Hua Xianzi gave Yu Mo a resentful look and said.

"Master Uncle, how could you deceive my husband like this?"

Ye Zhangqing wasn't familiar with Yu Mo and couldn't tell, but Bai Hua Xianzi knew this old bastard had a dark heart.

Hong Zun is already dirty enough, but compared to Yu Mo, he's practically a petty witch seeing a great witch.

When they were young, Bai Hua Xianzi and company personally witnessed powerhouses from Zhongzhou descending upon the Dao Yi Sect, all for the sake of Yu Mo.

As for the reason, it was because Yu Mo wanted a treasure and deceived the female emperor of a divine dynasty in Zhongzhou.

In the end, it wasn't just swindling wealth and beauty; even as he was leaving, the Master Uncle even fucking emptied more than half of their national treasury.

This made the many powerhouses of that divine dynasty grit their teeth in anger, vowing to kill Yu Mo.

Yet in the end, the female emperor who had been deceived the most actually forgave the Master Uncle, even saying she was willing to wait for Yu Mo to have a change of heart.

That incident practically shocked the entire Dongzhou; Yu Mo was also severely reprimanded by Bai Hua Xianzi's master.

But this guy not only didn't restrain himself, after less than a few years he went to Zhongzhou again.

This time it was even more outrageous; using some unknown method, he brought back a dragon egg.

This isn't just a flood dragon egg; it's a genuine dragon clan egg.

At the moment they saw the dragon egg, Bai Hua Xianzi's master went numb.

The Dao Yi Sect is strong, but that's only in Dongzhou; compared to the dragon clan, the gap is not just a little.

The dragon clan's openly displayed demon kings are said to number no less than two hands; bringing back their egg—isn't that courting death?

In the end, I don't know what method the master used, but he returned the egg, thus defusing the crisis.

So, in front of Yu Mo, Hong Zun really doesn't count for much.

Moreover, Yu Mo was actually the previous generation's Divine Sword Peak Peak Master; the reason he ultimately passed the position to Hong Zun mainly comes down to two reasons.

One is that Yu Mo had no sons or daughters, nor any disciples; the other is that Yu Mo himself said Hong Zun resembles me, so Hong Zun inherited the Divine Sword Peak Peak Master position.

So, Bai Hua Xianzi can be certain that those words just now were all that old coot deceiving her husband.

However, faced with Bai Hua Xianzi's dissatisfaction, Yu Mo even blew his beard and glared.

"You little lass, already taking sides before even marrying in? Did I deceive him? I said I'd be his guardian; eating a few bites during that time—what's the problem?"

"Besides, this old man doesn't have many good days left; I just want to eat a few good bites—what's wrong with that?"

Yu Mo has no intention of continuing to hibernate; in his view, although hibernation can preserve lifespan to the greatest extent, that doesn't mean it won't still be lost.

Dying in one's sleep is embarrassing; now that we've found such delicious food, what's wrong with enjoying it?

But Yu Mo's words happened to be overheard by the passing Hong Zun, who instantly blew his top.

"Master Uncle, this is no good—you won't live much longer if you keep this up."

"I am willing."

"No, absolutely not; Master Uncle, you should hurry back to the sect, or let me send you back."

This time Hong Zun is sincere; if Yu Mo doesn't hibernate, his lifespan will at most last another two or three years—how could that be acceptable?

"If you want to go back, go yourself; I am now the guardian of Ye Zhangqing."

"Guardian?"

"Not bad; I observe that Ye Zhangqing has good aptitude and will surely become great; protecting his growth—any problem?"

"Master Uncle, this is no good, truly no good—I will protect Ye Zhangqing myself; you needn't worry, you should.........."

"You? You can handle those three immortals from Yuan Mountain?"

"I............."

"Can you guarantee Ye Zhangqing's absolute safety?"

"I..............."

"Look, you can't do anything; why even say anything? Get out of the way, don't delay my meal."

Yu Mo is determined to be this Dao Protector; even if it means living a few years less, it doesn't matter, as long as every meal has something good to eat.

Seeing that Yu Mo cannot be persuaded, but if we let Master Uncle just kick the bucket like that, it would definitely cause a big problem.

Not to mention Hong Zun himself being reluctant; even the Senior Brother would likely come looking for me to fight to the death.

This time waking Yu Mo and the other two was already a decision made by Qi Xiong gritting his teeth.

If it weren't for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Qi Xiong would absolutely not have made such a decision.

But now, Master Uncle and the others have been awakened, yet they can't go back—what are we to do?

You say the old man is sleeping soundly and could live another few hundred years—what the hell is going on now, just playing for two or three years?

Is this preferring a moment of splendour over a disgraceful clinging to life?

Hong Zun is numb; what now?

As for Yu Mo, she couldn't care less about this, sitting with her legs crossed, leisurely waiting for the meal to start, and it's even a special dish.

On another front, the Tiger Tribe, which has been fighting the Luo Xia Sect to the death on the Maple Leaf Plains, suddenly received news of the Yuan Tribe's defeat.

Overlord Tiger, Wise Tiger, Striped Tiger and the other Tiger Tribe Demon Kings all had grim expressions, with Overlord Tiger even roaring angrily.

"Defeated? How could we have lost? Damn it, the Yuan's wit said Hong Zun and the others were already bones in a grave, turtles in a jar—so why did they end up losing to Yuan Mountain?"
