Chapter 225: Old Master Ye

Some people saw this old man, but none of them came any closer.

At this moment, there were not many people who dared to walk around because of the snow and cold temperature.

It could be said that everyone tacitly agreed to stay inside as much as possible. At the very least, the wall in their houses could prevent cold wind from leaking in.

This will help them to survive in this cold weather.

Some people will go out to get firewood from time to time or to get some food. But if it was not necessary, no one really wanted to get out of their warm home and embarked in the cold weather.

So most people who come out would look like a snowball.

One that was very round at that.

But this old man was clearly different from the others.

He wore light shirt and a long jacket, all in white color. In this snowy world, he looked rather ethereal for some reasons and his eyes remained sharp even in his old age. The sunlight seemed to cast a shadow behind him, making him look even more imposing.

Behind him was a young man in his twenties, carrying a pair of strange swords on his hips. He wore light armor and many people took a second glances at him. Because his attire was really strange as if he was doing a cosplay.

But after a few moments, no one paid attention to him anymore.

In this strange world, what was so strange with someone who wear some kind of strange clothes?

For a moment, the two of them looked rather imposing and detached from the mortal world.

But all kind of filter shattered the next moment.

The old man walked swayingly and raised his hand, a wine gourd in his hand and he laughed as he looked at Mu Ting Ye.

“Mu Ting Ye! You brat is finally here! Come here and let me take a look at you,” the old man, Old Master Ye, said with laugher.

Mu Ting Ye sighed deeply when he saw his master like this.

He should have known that all kind of beautiful filter will shatter the moment Old Master Ye spoke. No matter how elegant and how handsome he looked at even in his old age, it would disappear after just a few seconds.

Mu Ting Ye didn’t understand why his master had such contradicting temperament.

But no matter what, he had no intention of criticizing his master right now.

“Master,” Mu Ting Ye called out.

“Hmm.” Old Master Ye looked at Mu Ting Ye up and down. The faint Qi fluctuation from Mu Ting Ye’s body was extremely clear in Old Master Ye’s eyes and this made him shocked. What did this brat do to absorb the Qi?

Old Master Ye remembered perfectly well that Mu Ting Ye didn’t have any spiritual root, which meant that it was impossible for Mu Ting Ye to absorb Qi like normal cultivators in the early stage.

Only after he reached the Foundation Establishment and formed the fake spiritual roots would it be possible for him to absorb Qi.

But Old Master Ye knew that he was not wrong.

What he sensed from Mu Ting Ye was definitely Qi fluctuation.

And this fluctuation was not weak at all.

Did Mu Ting Ye transplant someone’s spiritual roots into his own body?

Old Master Ye’s eyes trembled when he thought about this possibility.

This kind of outrageous method did exist and some people used it. But the Heaven would not accept it and they will die on their tribulation to become Golden Core Cultivators. Those who tried to avoid it might end up dead first.

So after some people were roasted to death, not many people dared to take other people’s spiritual roots for themselves.

Even if they were jealous of others…

Once they dared to do it, they were basically sealing their own future and lifespan.

But perhaps some people still dared to do it.

As long as they didn’t advance to Golden Core Stages, some fake spiritual roots could be said to be working extremely well.

“Master?” Mu Ting Ye saw Old Master Ye staring at him for a long time. This made him wonder if he had made some mistake.

Is it because of the medicinal bath he used?

While Mu Ting Ye did use the one that Yu Shi Lan showed to him… it improved his strength faster and Old Master Ye shouldn’t be angry, right?

“Let’s find a secluded place first before we talk,” Old Master Ye said.

Even though the cold temperature had caused many people to stay huddled up in their homes, it didn’t mean that there were no one at all outside. There were still some people here and Old Master Ye didn’t want to mention Mu Ting Ye’s special constitution in front of so many people.

It’s better to pick a secluded area.

“Ah, yes.” Mu Ting Ye nodded in agreement. “My family’s backyard or Lin Yuan’s backyards are quite spacious and empty.”

Lin Yuan was also with Mu Ting Ye, but he didn’t dare to look at his master, especially when he remembered what they had done in the past few months.

Hehehe…

He didn’t want to be beaten up.

“Yours, Mu Ting Ye,” Old Master Ye said calmly.

“Ok.” Mu Ting Ye nodded at his senior brother who was following Old Master Ye behind the other party and then lead them to the Mu Family Residence.

Mu Ting Ye’s father seemed to have known about Old Master Ye’s arrival and was at home. The two people nodded to each other and then looked away.

Mu Ting Ye’s mother sighed and said, “The people outside have been evacuated. No one will come here for today.”

“Good.” Old Master Ye smiled.

Mu Ting Ye’s father snorted.

Seeing this, Mu Ting Ye didn’t know what to say.

His father still disliked his master very much…

Probably because he was the one who lead Mu Ting Ye into this path.
