”Cough cough...”

Cao Taiji rolled his eyes the moment he saw Qin Tian put on this flattering expression and utter words that could shock even an old man like him.

”Brat, can’t you speak seriously?”

Cao Taiji glanced at Qin Tian and said, ”You clever little thing, you used to always call me a miser and penny pincher behind my back, thinking I didn’t know?”

This time it was Qin Tian’s turn to cough awkwardly: ”Cough cough... Old man, you misunderstood, I really haven’t...”

”Hum, do you think I’m deaf? You and that brat, who taught you this? Playing along with the wind!”

”Learned it from you, Master!”

”Hiss... Can’t you chat properly, you brat?”

”Yes, yes, Master, I just asked you about the Spiritual Flowers and Spiritual Grass earlier, you haven’t responded, hehe, are you giving me half, or all of them?”

”...”

When Cao Taiji heard Qin Tian’s words, he immediately stomped and rolled his eyes. This brat, his appetite is quite big! He wants all the Spiritual Flowers and Spiritual Grass I’ve painstakingly grown over the past two years?!

”Be decent, don’t be too greedy. Xiao Tian, respect your elders, don’t call me an old man casually, but then when you need something from me, call me Master. Can’t you be consistent?”

Cao Taiji chuckled as he looked at Qin Tian.

Qin Tian made a pitiful gesture, pretending to eat his fingers: ”Master, you taught me that too. When there’s no task to give me, you call me brat and little guy. When there’s a task you need me for, to earn money for you, you call me Xiao Tian. Once, you even called me Xiao Tian Tian...”

Cao Taiji: ”...”

”Alright, alright, I really sinned by teaching a disciple like you.”

Cao Taiji sighed longingly, ”Fine, okay, that plot of land over there, the Spiritual Flowers and Spiritual Grass are yours.”

”Ah? Master, you have four plots, and you’re only giving me one? A quarter?”

”What? I gave you one of my only four plots, and you’re still not satisfied? Greedy like a snake swallowing an elephant!”

”Alright, so to show respect, I need to thank you, right, old stinker?”

”Hey, you brat, you take my stuff and turn it around faster than flipping a page, huh?”

”Cough cough, you taught me...”

”When did I teach you that, you brat!”

...

The master and disciple pair hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and upon reunion, they were full of playful banter and friendly jabs.

Despite their age gap of decades, the relationship between the two is indeed that of both master and friend. Even though Cao Taiji raised Qin Tian and taught him martial arts.

”Brat, after two years without seeing you, how did your Kung Fu improve so fast? That’s not very scientific?”

Cao Taiji carefully examined Qin Tian, his expression finally turning serious, thoughtful.

Indeed, when he announced the dissolution of Dragon Soul back then, Qin Tian was just a regular martial arts expert beginning the cultivation of the Sunflower Secret Manual.

And now, Qin Tian is already cultivating True Qi, and from Cao Taiji’s probing earlier, he knows Qin Tian is now an Immortality Cultivator! A Qi Refining Early Stage Immortality Cultivator!

It’s only been two years or so, yet the leap in power is, in Cao Taiji’s eyes, unprecedented!

”Brat, did you encounter some stroke of good fortune? Or did you take Viagra suddenly becoming so fierce that I had to use seventy percent of my strength to test you.” Cao Taiji was curious about Qin Tian’s experiences over these two years.

Qin Tian laughed, ”No grand strokes of fortune, really, mostly because you left. Without your detrimental teaching, my unparalleled talent in martial arts naturally emerged...”

Cao Taiji: ”You blaming me, huh?”

Both laughed heartily, as Cao Taiji led Qin Tian to a cave near the Medicine Garden, which was one of Cao Taiji’s secluded residences.

The cave was simple; the tables and chairs were old, an oil lamp hung on the wall, and the setup resembled that of ancient hidden heroes.

”Old man, have you been secluded here cultivating for the past two years?” Qin Tian asked curiously.

”No way, I just come here occasionally for a few days to look after the Spiritual Flowers and Spiritual Grass I’ve planted. Half of the time, I’ve been outside.”

”I thought you dissolved Dragon Soul to come here and cultivate.”

”That’s only part of the reason, I have more important reasons.”

”More important reasons? Given your miserly selfishness, what could be more important than your own power enhancement?”

”Hiss... You brat, your mouth’s getting more cheeky! Don’t probe into the more important reason, I’m not ready to tell you for now. Hmm, I’ve always planned not to tell you, now looking at it, when the time is right I’ll let you know.”

”Tch, so mysterious.”

Qin Tian peeked at Cao Taiji warily, and realized that Cao Taiji’s power growth was even more terrifying!

Cao Taiji used to only have the strength in the very initial stages of Qigong cultivation, but now, at least middle-stage Qi Refinement cultivation, maybe even beyond!

With a lower cultivation, Qin Tian couldn’t discern what level Cao Taiji had reached, yet in two years, a similarly grand leap in cultivation. Qin Tian felt this was even more intimidating than his own strength advancement!

Having talked this far, both went quiet, exchanging glances and awkward smiles.

”Do you have something to ask me?”

After a few seconds pause, Qin Tian and Cao Taiji simultaneously spoke, saying the exact same thing.

”Alright, let me ask you a question first, then you ask me after I’m done.”

Cao Taiji stretched lazily.

Qin Tian nodded.

Then, he watched as Cao Taiji gave him a mysterious dry laugh.

”Why look at me like this? All sneaky and silly, it creeps me out...”

Qin Tian wore a speechless expression and said, ”Ask your question directly! You’re acting like this, and I’ll take you to the mental hospital.”

”Hehe, Xiao Tian, Murong Bei’s daughter... oh no, grand-daughter, how’s she? Are you two together? Married yet? Any kids? Boy or girl?”

Qin Tian: ”...”

After all that, Cao Taiji was actually concerned about this!

Qin Tian suddenly broke out in cold sweat, seeing Cao Taiji’s foolishly grinning face, sweat even more intense.

Cao Taiji pressed, ”Quick, tell me, having a child is a big deal, we must celebrate properly.”

”No.”

Qin Tian covered his forehead with his hand and said, ”I am together with Murong Fei, but we haven’t married yet, let alone have a child.”

”Puzzling, how did Murong Bei manage it? Two years and you’re still just at the dating stage?” Cao Taiji was speechless.

Qin Tian was even more speechless, with a voice lowering: ”The old man Murong Bei... has already passed away.”
