I want to go back to my original world and live an ordinary life.

Although the dish was not delicious, the taste evoked memories for Old Man Hong. Old Man Hong put down his chopsticks, a trace of sadness revealed in his eyes, and he said to the young man lightly, "This wild vegetable is what I ate when I escaped from the Dongtian Mountains. It tastes a bit bitter, but I survived by eating this wild vegetable. To think that more than 5,000 years have passed, the taste of this wild vegetable has not changed at all, it is still the same as it was back then." The taste of wild vegetables will not change, never change, just as Old Man Hong will never forget the life he lived back then.

After Mr. Hong finished speaking, the young man did not speak, because he did not know what to say, but just sat there quietly waiting for Mr. Hong to say something. At this time, Mr. Hong picked up another wild vegetable with chopsticks, tasted it and said to the young man, "This wild vegetable is called red grass, because its leaves are red. This wild vegetable tastes good, but eating it will make people have diarrhea. I was often harmed by red grass in the past, but in order to survive, even though I knew it would make people have diarrhea, I still ate it often, because there was nothing else to eat except it." At this time, Mr. Hong smiled bitterly, and at this time he had subconsciously changed "old man" to "I".

In this way, every time Mr. Hong tasted a dish, he would think of the past. After tasting all the dishes, Mr. Hong put down his chopsticks, looked at the young man with a smile and said, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I probably would never have eaten these things again in my life. Although they are not very delicious, for me, they are the most delicious things."

After Mr. Hong finished speaking, the young man turned his head and looked at the bamboo forest in the distance. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Compared to what you did to me, what I did to you is not worthy of even a word of thanks!"

Hearing the young man say this, Old Hong did not refute anything, but just smiled, then waved his hand and said to the young man, "Okay, let's not talk about these things. I came here today to ask you for help with something." Old Hong's usual smile appeared on his face again.

After Master Hong finished speaking, the young man adjusted his mood. He turned around and poured wine for Master Hong while saying, "I know, you came here today to let me take care of your apprentice, right?"

"Yes! That's right!" Old Master Hong replied readily, and then continued, "After killing the Golden Winged Dapeng, I thought I had nothing to worry about, but I didn't expect that I would actually accept a disciple. This makes me a little worried about him. He comes from another world and knows nothing about this world. Although his current strength is not weaker than his peers, and can be said to be very strong, there are too many people in this world who are stronger than him. I am afraid that he will encounter trouble when he goes out to train in the future, so I thought that after I am gone, you can help me take care of him, so that I can rest assured."

After hearing what Mr. Hong said, the young man nodded, then said to Mr. Hong, "Don't worry, although he is a human, he came from my Western Heaven Mountains and is my Western Heaven Lord's man. No matter where he goes in the future, whoever dares to bully him is bullying my Western Heaven Mountains, and I will make him pay the price." Although the young man's voice was not loud, his words were very powerful. Perhaps this is the aura of being the Lord of the Western Heaven and the king.

"Haha!" Hearing the young man say this, Old Hong smiled. He believed the young man's words very much, because the young man was a person who protected his shortcomings. Not to mention the people he entrusted to the young man, even if an ordinary spirit beast was bullied, as long as he knew it, he would go to seek justice for the spirit beast. However, as the Lord of the West, it is not wrong to protect his own people, but sometimes you can't spoil them too much. For example, if Qiu Yan wants to go out for training, it is inevitable that there will be some bumps and bumps with others. If you stand up for Qiu Yan because of some trivial matters, what is Qiu Yan's experience? Isn't it better to hide directly in the West City? Therefore, what Old Hong meant just now was to let the Lord of the West come forward to help Qiu Yan when he was really in danger, not to let the Lord of the West come forward for him when others bullied him. For others, Old Hong may not need to explain this separately, but for young people, Old Hong feels that it is necessary to explain it, because young people sometimes do things very stubbornly, and once they decide on something, they must do it. So in order to avoid the situation that Mr. Hong was worried about, he said to the young man, "Well, you should keep in mind what I said just now, but don't misunderstand what I mean. What I mean is that when Qiu Yan goes out to gain experience and encounters danger that he cannot solve, you just need to help him. You don't need to worry about other things. Young people should fight and struggle, so that they can grow faster and better."

After Mr. Hong finished speaking, the young man nodded. In fact, even if Mr. Hong didn't say anything, the young man wouldn't have taken it too far, because he knew that rather than getting hurt, Mr. Hong wanted Qiu Yan to grow more.

Seeing the young man nod, Elder Hong continued, "I have told Qiu Yan that when his light attribute spiritual power reaches level 100, let him choose whether to stay here or go out for training. But he should have made his choice. After level 100, he should go out for training. If he changes his mind and wants to continue to stay here for training, then you should find a way to make him leave and go back to the human world. But you can't do it too obviously, and you can't let him feel that we must make him go to the human world. It's best to trick him into going to the human world." At this point Old Hong paused to think for a moment, then continued, "Also, after I leave, you have to prepare three meals a day, as you do now, and arrange a spirit beast for him to practice with him every day, until his spirit power reaches level 100." After saying this, Old Hong paused to think for a moment, then continued, "By the way, my one thousand spirit peach trees will be left to you after I leave, but you cannot touch these spirit peaches. When that kid goes out to train, you have to remind him to take the spirit peaches with him. Although the spirit peaches don't help much with practice after level 100, they're not bad to eat as fruit!"

Old Hong said this, and the young man nodded silently. He had no objection to what Old Hong said. After all, this was the last thing he could do for Old Hong. When Old Hong stopped talking, the young man asked, "Old Hong, I have taken note of your apprentice's affairs. You can rest assured that I will take good care of him as you said." From what Old Hong told him, every one of them was related to Qiu Yan. It can be seen that Qiu Yan is the person that Old Hong is most worried about now, so the young man also cares about these instructions of Old Hong.

Hearing the young man's answer, Old Master Hong nodded in satisfaction, then heaved a long sigh and continued, "I have already finished my instructions for my apprentice. Finally, I have one more thing I want to ask you for help with."

"Please go ahead, Mr. Hong," the young man replied indifferently. After hearing what the young man said, Mr. Hong's eyes were a little complicated. He squinted his eyes and waited for a while before saying to the young man, "Send me home." Mr. Hong's tone was very calm, but there was an indescribable taste in the calmness, which included expectation, hesitation, and sadness.

Go home. When the young man heard Mr. Hong say these two words, he was stunned for a few seconds. After a few seconds, he calmly replied to Mr. Hong, "Okay!" The young man's answer was only one word, because he didn't know what else to say. Go home. These two words may be normal for ordinary people. Going home is to work at sunrise and rest at sunset, to return home in glory, and to return home after studying. But for Mr. Hong, going home is to return to one's roots.

After the young man finished speaking, he and Old Hong were silent for a while. After a while, the young man let out a breath and said to Old Hong, "Old Hong, remember when you took Qiu Yan in, you said you wanted him to help you with your final resting place. But why do you want to leave him here and go back yourself?" The young man knew the purpose of Old Hong's visit, because he knew that Old Hong didn't have much time left, but he didn't know that Old Hong was going back to Dongtian Mountains, because Old Hong had never told him before that he wanted to go home.

"Well..." Old Hong stroked his beard, organized his words in his mind and then said lightly, "So that was my plan, but I calculated that if that kid knew about my affairs, it would affect his cultivation, so I lied to him and said that I was going to go into seclusion, maybe for decades or hundreds of years." At this, Old Hong laughed self-deprecatingly, and then continued, "Maybe that kid trusts me too much, so he will believe such lies. If he wants to go into seclusion, I can do it in the wooden house, why would I need to leave for seclusion?" After saying this, Old Hong smiled, as if he felt it was ridiculous that he had lied to Qiu Yan.

After hearing what Master Hong said, the young man also smiled and said, "You always say that I protect my shortcomings, but I think you protect them more than I do. You think about him in everything and even treat the precious spiritual peaches as ordinary fruits for him to eat. I don't know how many lifetimes he has cultivated to be blessed enough to meet a master like you. It's really enviable!"

"I can't help it. He is my only disciple!" After saying that, Old Master Hong stroked his beard with a smug look on his face, and then continued to say to the young man, "By the way, don't tell that kid that I lied to him about seclusion, otherwise he will definitely not have the heart to practice. I know that kid too well. He has a stubborn temper like a child. He is still the same after several years. He was crying in his room when I came!"
