"Senior, I just want to ask you a question, please." Ximenyu said sincerely.
"Okay, hurry up and ask." The old man said.
"Senior, do you know that there is an expert around here who has knowledge for thousands of years? I have something to ask for," Ximenyu asked.
After asking, he immediately used mind-reading skills. Unfortunately, the old man's heart was not disturbed at all, and Ximen Yu couldn't read anything at all.
"I don't know, please go back." The old man said and walked towards the mountain.
Ximenyu looked at the old man's faltering steps, and he really didn't look like that expert.
"Oh, it seems that our trip will be in vain." Ximenyu said helplessly.
"That's not necessarily true."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"If the senior just now is really the legendary master who knows the events of thousands of years before and after, how come they don't know that you can read minds."
"Yes, you reminded me, but his age..." Ximenyu was still a little doubtful and unsure.
“Seeing is not necessarily believing.”
"That's right, let's go, let's continue going up the mountain and fight hard. I believe he will tell us the truth." Ximenyu decided immediately.
So Ximen Yu and Ren Yanfeng continued to speed up their pace and soon caught up with the old man.
"Why haven't you left yet?" the old man said angrily.
"Senior, there are no other seniors near Xingzilin, so I know you are the master. This junior is really in a hurry. Please take pity on me, senior, and just tell me." Ximen Yu said respectfully.
"Oh, I really don't know what you are talking about. You'd better leave." The old man sighed.
"Senior, since you know everything that happened thousands of years ago, you should know how difficult it is for us to get here. We are not people from your time and space, and we don't even know if we will have the chance to go back in this life. So please, senior
Please help the juniors."
"I'm just a civilian. I really can't help. I'm sorry." The old man said guiltily, and then turned around and continued up the mountain.
Ximen Yu and Ren Yanfeng followed closely behind.
"Why are you so annoying? There's no point in stalking them. My Grand Master really doesn't know. He's just an old Chinese doctor who treats illnesses and saves people." A man who looked like a bookboy stopped Ximenyu and the others and said.
"Senior, what do you want to do before you agree to this junior?" Ximenyu shouted.
However, the old man didn't seem to hear him. Ximen Yu felt very embarrassed, so he and Ren Yanfeng continued to follow the old man shamelessly.
Soon, the old man arrived at the bamboo house halfway up the mountain.
Seeing that Ximen Yu and Ren Yanfeng were still following him, he suddenly said helplessly: "I said I don't know, so it's useless for you to continue to pester me. You should just do what you young people should do."
"Senior, my mind-reading skills can't read anything about you, so I know that you are definitely not an ordinary person, and you can't hide it from me. It's just that I don't know why I am so resistant to answering my questions."
"Yes, senior, we just want an answer. Even if you tell us that no one controls life magic or time magic in this time and space, we will have no regrets." Ren Yanfeng agreed.
"I really don't know. Just go ahead and do what you should do. If you insist on staying here and wasting time, I can't stop you. But a good time is wasted like this. Don't regret it." The old man said.
"Yes, thank you senior." Ximen Yu had no choice but to stay at the scene with Ren Yanfeng, waiting for the senior to relent and tell them the truth.
In this way, in the next few months, Ximenyu asked the old man the same question every day, but the old man's answer was the same every time.
This situation lasted for nearly a year, but the old man still had no intention of letting go.
"Are we really overthinking it?" Ximenyu muttered.
"No, great wisdom is like foolishness. The more ordinary the old man is, the more extraordinary he is. Anyway, we have no better place to go for a while, so we will simply stay here and treat it as cultivation."
"Okay, as long as you don't feel tired," Ximen Yu said.
"No, as long as I can be by your side."
"Uh-huh."
In the next few years, Ximen Yu and Ren Yanfeng were like the old man's bookboys, greeting each other every day, serving tea and water whenever they saw, sweeping the floor and cooking, which made the old man's bookboy very angry.
Ximenyu and the others have finished all his work, making his sense of existence less and less important.
Just like that, in the blink of an eye, Ximenyu and the others have been in Xingzilin for ten years.
"Oh, it's been ten years and you still haven't given up. Let me do what you want." The old man sighed.
"Senior, do you have something to hide? If it's really difficult, we'd better not force it on others." Ximen Yu said.
"Yes, the junior is also worried about whether the senior's magical power will damage the senior's lifespan and cultivation status." Ren Yanfeng agreed.
"That's all. It seems that everything is destined when I meet you." The old man sighed heavily.
"So, senior is really the legendary master?" Ximenyu said in surprise.
"Yes, but as you said, you are not from this time and space, so I did not expect your arrival at first." The old man said.
"So the reason why senior has been hesitating and entangled for so long is because once the truth is told to us, it will have a greater impact on your physical and mental cultivation, right?" Ren Yanfeng guessed.
"Haha, young man, you must treat this little girl well in the future." The old man said with a smile.
"Yes, senior." Ximenyu nodded.
"Young man, don't you want to know the answer? Now I will give you a chance. As long as your medical skills can surpass mine, I will tell you." The old man said.
"Ah, the seniors have superb medical skills, and the juniors feel inferior to me. Even if I were given hundreds or thousands of years, I would still be no match for the old man." Ximen Yu wondered why, for the past ten years, the old man would choose three days every month.
During the free clinic down the mountain, the elderly people were studying their medical skills at other times. Ximenyu was deeply impressed by the elderly people's medical skills.
"Nothing in the world is difficult, as long as you are willing, you can succeed." The old man encouraged.
"Oh, what do you want the old man to compete for?" Ximenyu asked.
"You see that the withered grass in front is gone, and its roots have dried up. Can you see if you can revive it?" the old man gave guidance.
"Resurrection technique?" Ximenyu asked in shock.
My heart was pounding and I felt like it was going to jump out.
"Haha, what kind of resurrection is this? Although that withered grass has no life, its form and spirit are still there."
"Ah, the younger generation agrees with the shape, but how can it still have any dignity at all?" Ximenyu asked puzzledly.
"Haha, think about it." After saying this, the old man went back to the house.
