“Master…”

Words filled with endless longing blurted out of Xiao Shun's mouth.

Immediately, the lingering sound of the piano came to an abrupt end.

The old Taoist turned his head slightly, and a faint smile was on the corner of his mouth.

"Haha, you're here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Shun ran towards the pavilion without caring about his exhausted body.

Although he was running very slowly at this time, his pace was never as firm as ever.

The distance of more than a hundred meters was fleeting, and Taoist Mu Yan's kind face gradually became clear.

After rushing into the pavilion, Xiao Shun stood straight in front of his master.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that he didn't know where to start.

Xiao Shun had fantasized in his mind countless times the scene of meeting his master again, but he never thought that the two would meet again in this way!

Seeing that Xiao Shun's eyes were crystal clear, Taoist Mu Yan smiled softly.

"Child, you've suffered!"

Xiao Shun stubbornly touched the tears that were about to be used in his eyes, and looked straight at Taoist Mu Yan in front of him: "Are you facing that master? Since you know that I am suffering, do you still have the intention to play the piano here to cheer up?"

"Ha ha……"

Taoist Mu Yan put down the guzheng in his hand with laughter and tears, then stood up and walked to Xiao Shun, and spoke lightly.

"Everyone has his own path to walk. Master's path has come to an end a long time ago, but your path is always at your feet. All I can do is to guide you in the right direction!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shun was immediately full of contempt: "Old man, I think you just think it's troublesome, so I pushed everything to me to deal with it myself. You are relaxed, but I have not been doing so smoothly in the past few years!"

"You haven't had a smooth life in the past few years?"

As he talked in great thought, Taoist Mu Yan looked up and down at his apprentice, and then said with great meaning.

"Your growth rate has been unique throughout the ages. When you were very young, I warned you that life cannot be smooth, let alone that we are a cultivator who is as high as the sky. You have achieved what you have today, but you are still not satisfied?"

Xiao Shun's previous achievements made countless sect leaders amazed, which shows his talent and hard work.

Even so, he himself felt that it was all he deserved. After all, along the way, only he knew how many dangers were accompanied by. If it weren't for the firm will and some luck, he might have been a pile of dead bones now.

As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Shun couldn't help but feel disapproving of Taoist Mu Yan just said.

"Haha, I'm already a useless person now. Don't talk to me about any achievements, let alone you once said that if I can't recover my cultivation, you will expel me from the master!"

After hearing Xiao Shun's angry words, Taoist Mu Yan raised his head and said, "Haha, it seems that you are still a little resentful about this matter!"

Xiao Shun rolled his eyes angrily: "I think you really want to expel me from the master, so I found such a reason. I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm determined to follow you, Master, in this life, and you don't even want to drive me away!"

Taoist Mu Yan knew his apprentice's temperament well, so he shook his head helplessly, and then asked: "Do you still remember what I said to you just now?"

"What do you mean?" Xiao Shun looked puzzled.

Taoist Mu Yan said loudly: "This is the path you must go. You must know that in the cultivation world, every drink and peck are determined by heaven. If you suffer this disaster, it is also your fate. If you pass it, you will be able to leap the dragon gate. If you cannot live, then your achievements in this life are limited to this!"

Xiao Shun was confused when he heard this. He didn't know what the master sold in this gourd, so he hurriedly asked, "What are these with what?"

Seeing this, Taoist Mu Yan patted his shoulder: "It's normal that you don't understand now, but one day in the future, you will definitely understand my hard-working conscience!"

Xiao Shun could see now that his master had made good efforts, but he felt that the other party seemed to be sad everywhere, and he felt that he was about to realize the truth and ascend to the sky.

Suddenly, he remembered something and asked: "Master, is it you who secretly stopped me from entering the crack in the space before?"

Taoist Mu Yan said without comment: "That place is not something you can go to now, it is just a peach blossom land for a group of self-deprecating people. Just let those who are not interested in progress enjoy there for the rest of their lives. You are my disciples, and you must not go astray in this life!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shun was stunned: "A person who is willing to fall into depravity?"

The master actually said that the ancient cultivators living in a small space were self-degenerate people. What was going on?

Suddenly, a big question mark was occupied in his mind.

Taoist Mu Yan saw the doubt in his eyes and smiled bitterly: "You must have known about the place of the prisoner of sin and the Hunyuan Continent now, right?"

Xiao Shun's heart moved slightly and nodded immediately.

Through some previous events, he began to doubt his master, Taoist Mu Yan, for a long time. His identity is definitely not simple. He is probably not a native of the cultivation world, but more likely from another cultivation world.

He thought so in his heart, but Taoist Mu Yan on the side started talking to himself.

"Brother Pangu burned out his own essence and blood and stripped the place of prisoner from the Hunyuan Continent alone. He went around in a few worlds and finally came to the place where you live now. Brother Taoist was also angry because of this..."

Hearing this, Xiao Shun couldn't help but interrupt: "Master, what did you call Pangu just now?"

Taoist Mu Yan glared at him fiercely, signaling not to interrupt, and then continued.

"Those cultivators who live in small spaces are descendants of the Pangu clan and are the ancient cultivators with the most pure bloodline. Unfortunately, they have only a lifetime of powerful skills, but they all hide their heads and tails, and dare not fight back to the Hunyun Continent.

The unthinkable tolerance doesn't necessarily bring peace. The minions of the Supreme God Court finally found the whereabouts of the prisoner's blood not long ago, and thus crossed the border!"

Speaking of this, Taoist Mu Yan sighed sadly: "Oh, poor brother Taoist did everything he did, but he still did not reverse the defeat in the end. I think his juniors have all died in the comfort zone now!"

"What!" Xiao Shun grew up and said, "All the ancient cultivators are dead?"

Taoist Mu Yan nodded: "Not long ago, a person who incarnated came to seek help, but I was determined. This is not because I am not helping me, but because I am in a situation, I am afraid that if I take the wrong step, I will lose all the money!"

The incarnation he mentioned was the Jin man in the ancient martial arts field. After listening to the advice of King Qingqiu, he immediately found Taoist Mu Yan and asked for help.

It’s a pity that Taoist Mu Yan ended up not saving him for some reason!

After learning that the ancient cultivators were destroyed, Xiao Shun was also filled with sadness, but after just a moment of silence, he asked a question that he was more concerned about.
