Evil Master and Disciple

Although Lu Yunshi spoke very directly, the old man remained silent about his identity.

The old man smiled and said, "Lord Lu, I won't tell you about these issues unless you ask. If you trust me, then don't investigate those vanished dragon veins anymore."

After saying that, the old man began to clear the dishes and chopsticks off the table.

Lu Yunshi watched quietly from the side.

The old man's movements as he cleared away the dishes were quite skillful.

This shows that the old man did not lie about being a wonton stall owner.

After a while, seeing that Lu Yunshi was still standing there, the old man said helplessly, "If one day you really want to know the secret of those twenty-eight dragon veins, then go find Young Master Ye."

"Ye Feng? He knows the secret behind the disappearance of the dragon vein?"

"Yes, he's smart; he must have known already."

"Oh, I see... Old Li, the feeling you give me tonight is completely different from before. Although you won't admit it, I know very well that you are a cultivator."

You said before that tonight was your last time setting up a stall, and you wondered where you would be found after that.

The old man shook his head and said softly, "If the time is right, I will go to find Ye Feng. It's getting late, I should pack up my stall now, Lord Lu, please go back."

Lu Yunshi took a deep look at the old man's busy figure, then turned and left.

After Lou Yunshi approached the dark alley leading to his house, the old man slowly raised his head.

He murmured, "I knew the disappearance of the twenty-eight dragon veins would attract your attention, which is why I set up a stall near your residence."

I've always believed that the dead are better at keeping secrets. When you discovered that those dragon veins had disappeared, I should have killed you, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

I hope you will heed my words and stop trying to find the exact location of those dragon veins converging..."

It turns out that the reason this old man has insisted on setting up his stall here every night for decades is not because he is in dire financial straits.

He was there to secretly monitor Nouwenhe.

It was all for the purpose of protecting the secret of those twenty-eight dragon veins.

Because Lu Yunshi cultivates the dragon vein.

Lu Yunshi has not yet overcome that hurdle in his cultivation, so he finds it difficult to detect the aura of the twenty-eight dragon veins located in Chongningfang.

However, once Nouwenhe overcame that hurdle, the situation changed completely.

He could directly sense where the dragon veins converged, and even feel the pure yang dragon energy of the twenty-eight dragon veins flowing away like a trickle.

When that time comes, Nouwen will definitely investigate these dragon veins.

The old man used to think that even if Lu Yunshi could overcome that hurdle in his life, he wouldn't have much time left in the capital.

As long as he is not in the capital, he will not be able to discover the twenty-eight dragon veins, and everything will be safe.

The old man never expected that Ye Feng was so capable, actually unlocking the secret of the ruins located below Bailing Temple, and even briefly opening a space-time passage.

When the spacetime passage in the ruins is opened, it requires a huge amount of energy. The magic array power station can only accelerate the absorption of the dragon vein energy and quickly convert the pure and strong dragon vein energy into electrical energy, which is also pure and strong.

Lu Yunshi is just one step away from overcoming that hurdle.

Under normal circumstances, he could not sense the fluctuations of the dragon vein in Chongning Ward in the outer city.

However, the spacetime magic array required too much electrical energy, and eventually, Nouwenhe noticed something unusual about it.

Tonight, the old man could have killed Lu Yunshi to silence him, but he simply couldn't bring himself to do it.

He was never a bad person.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to secretly monitor Nouwenhe for another forty years.

A sigh slowly rose in the darkness.

Then came the sound of wheels rolling over stone slabs.

The old man pulled his cart and slowly disappeared into the dark streets.

The wonton stall also disappeared along with it.

After returning to his room, Lu Yunshi sat in a chair and stared blankly at the candlelight.

After an unknown amount of time, a rooster's crow pulled Lu Yunshi from his daze back to reality.

He looked up at the sky; the first light of dawn was breaking.

It turned out that it was already dawn.

Lu Yunshi took out the Spirit Sound Mirror that Ye Feng had given him before he left last time.

After hesitating for a moment, he still dialed Ye Feng's Spirit Sound Mirror.

Lu Yunshi didn't sleep all night, and neither did Ye Feng.

He wanted to cultivate, but the conversation between Yue Yinling and his senior uncle yesterday made it impossible for him to calm down.

He lay on the bed with his arms as a pillow, staring blankly at the roof beams all night.

Thoughts raced through my mind, a multitude of ideas coming to mind.

This complex emotion has been tormenting me since yesterday afternoon.

During this time, he thought about many things.

Of course, it all concerns the original owner of this body and Ye Wei.

He always felt that there must be a huge secret hidden behind this matter.

Just as he was lying in bed lost in thought, the Spirit Sound Mirror in his arms began to tremble slightly.

Ye Feng snapped out of his daze and peeked outside the door. It was still dark. Who could be looking for him at this hour?

Ye Feng sat up and connected to the Spirit Sound Mirror.

Ye Feng was slightly taken aback when he saw his godfather, Lu Yunshi, appear on the Spirit Sound Mirror.

"Godfather? You're up early enough, it's not even dawn yet."

"Hmph, what do you mean by getting up early? I haven't slept all night!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng was quite surprised and said, "Huh? You didn't sleep all night either? I thought I was the only one who had insomnia tonight!"

"Father, didn't you say the dragon vein sealing has been going smoothly lately? Why do you seem troubled?"

Lu Yunshi naturally trusted Ye Feng implicitly, so he told him about his discovery of twenty-eight unmarked dragon veins in the capital, and how these dragon veins disappeared near Bailing Temple in Chongning Ward.

He also briefly recounted to Ye Feng the words Old Li, the man who ran the wonton stall at the entrance, had spoken to him.

Ye Feng's expression changed drastically after hearing this.

"Godfather, is everything you said true? Did the old man at the wonton stall outside the Confucian Inn really say those things?"

"Ah."

"The old man said you should come to me to ask about this matter?"

"um, yes."

Ye Feng's expression changed rapidly as countless thoughts flooded his mind.

That ruin is unique to Buddhism; outsiders have no idea about it.

Even the Buddhist sects were unaware that the ruins contained a power station powered by an array, and that the power station's energy source was the dragon vein energy of the capital city.

How could an elderly person running a street stall know so much detail?

Ye Feng had dealt with that old man at the stall many times, but he couldn't tell that he was some kind of reclusive master.

A strange thought suddenly popped into Ye Feng's mind.

Ye Feng said, "Godfather, you don't need to investigate the matter of the twenty-eight dragon veins anymore. I know about it. The most important thing now is for you to get out of here immediately and, no matter what, to keep that old man here. He is very important!"
