Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Chapter 240 Baize Follows (Seeking Monthly Pass)

In the forest.

Chu Yuan, with hands clasped behind his back, looked at the elderly man transformed from Baize.

His expression held a sudden realization.

So that's how it is.

This person comes from a once powerful faction.

The faction must have met its downfall, which is why he ended up as a wandering cultivator.

That would also explain why he possesses such seemingly valuable bracelets and clothing.

Chu Yuan understood, but he had no other thoughts on the matter.

What he needed now was to return to East State.

It was somewhat unsafe in Zhongzhou.

Only by returning to East State would he feel secure.

Moreover, this person was a lone cultivator, one who had fallen from a faction's ruin, already unfortunate enough.

If he were to scheme for the few remaining possessions the man had, wouldn't that be too lacking in martial virtue?

"Hmm... Daoist friend, although we hit it off at first sight, I still have matters to attend to, so I must take my leave."

As he spoke, Chu Yuan turned to leave.

"Daoist Chu, wait a moment!"

Baize called out to Chu Yuan repeatedly.

"Do you still have something you wish to discuss?"

Chu Yuan asked, eyebrow raised.

"Daoist Chu... what do you think about the current state of this world?"

Baize pondered for a while before choosing to ask this question.

"What do I think? I have no particular thoughts."

Chu Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, feeling that the person before him was gradually becoming somewhat strange.

"No thoughts?"

Baize was taken aback.

"What else do you want me to think? Daoist friend, the past is gone, we must look forward. No matter how difficult it is, we must persevere. You still have the capital to rise again, do not entertain too many strange and bizarre ideas."

Chu Yuan glanced at the bracelet and clothes in Baize's hand and offered a word of advice.

Upon hearing this,

Baize fell silent.

The past is over...

Look ahead...

Does Daoist Chu mean that the old era is already past, suggesting that he should look forward?

As for the capital to rise again...

Does it refer to his original strength?

If it weren't for the world's suppression and rejection, with his strength, it would indeed be quite easy to stand up again.

But to resist the world's oppression, how difficult it is.

And this person before him was clearly also under the world's suppression.

Yet he did not give up.

Instead, he thought of standing up once more.

If this person had the courage to rise again, did he not have it as well?

Baize closed his eyes slightly. When he reopened them, his eyes were filled with despondency.

He couldn't manage to stand up again. Facing the world's oppression, he had to divide most of his spirit to resist, let alone have the energy to stand up once more.

His ambition and pride had long since been eroded away during the endless years of being sealed.

"Daoist friend, I cannot rise again."

"What's impossible about that? I've faced far more difficulties than you have, and yet I have rallied," Chu Yuan said softly.

His realm kept falling.

From Nascent Soul at the start to now, Foundation Establishment, has he ever said anything?

Tsk tsk, the young people of today, ah, no, the elderly of today.

They give up too easily.

Not so good, really.

"It's not the same."

Baize continued shaking his head.

"I don't know what to say anymore, but I still have things to do, so I need to leave first. Take some time to think about it yourself."

Chu Yuan didn't have time to continue dragging out the conversation here. Just as Ao Yu suddenly fell, his current state was unknown, and Chu Yuan needed to go check on him.

"Daoist friend, wait a moment..."

Baize called out to Chu Yuan again.

"What else is there?"

Chu Yuan was getting impatient.

"That... Daoist friend, may I leave with you?"

Baize pondered for a moment before speaking up.

He wasn't very familiar with this new era.

And he had always been suppressed by the heavens and earth.

Wanting to safely understand this new era, he felt that following this Chu-surnamed being was the best option.

At least with him, Baize could be at ease.

Both remnants of the old era, in this new era, it was akin to being in a foreign land.

"You want to leave with me? I'm heading to East State, do you also want to come along?"

Chu Yuan was stunned for a moment. He didn't even want to scheme for the treasures on this man, yet this man was considering delivering himself to his doorstep?

"East State? That's fine, any place will do."

Baize immediately agreed.

"Alright then, follow me."

Chu Yuan sighed resignedly. This was like being handed gifts, which he didn't even want, but it was as if the treasures were being smashed against his face.

He couldn't not accept them.

Forget it, forget it.

If that's the case, he would just have to find an opportunity later.

To take the treasures and then provide protection for this person.

At the very least, let this person live out his twilight years in peace.

"That would trouble you, Daoist friend."

Upon hearing this, Baize showed a hint of a smile, nodded, and spoke.

"Let's go, let's go."

Chu Yuan waved his hand, signaling Baize to leave with him.

After speaking,

he strode towards the edge of the forest.

Seeing this, Baize quickly followed Chu Yuan.

The two of them walked out of the forest together.

Ye Luo and the others were already waiting for Chu Yuan with Ao Yu in tow.

Upon seeing Chu Yuan emerge with Baize,

Ye Luo and the others were taken aback, unsure why their Respected Master brought this strange old man back with him.

Before Ye Luo and the others could ask,

Ao Yu had already run up to Chu Yuan, his face a picture of panic.

"Sect Master! This... this, I don't know what happened."

"I really didn't mean for it to happen, Sect Master..."

Ao Yu was somewhat incoherent, afraid that Chu Yuan would blame him.

"Alright, alright, it's okay, I know it's not your fault."

Chu Yuan patted Ao Yu, fearful that Ao Yu would faint from being overly agitated as he still needed him to carry him back to East State.

"Thank you, Sect Master!!"

Ao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, he transformed into a huge Canglong.

Chu Yuan and the others climbed onto the dragon's head.

Baize also followed onto it, standing silently behind Chu Yuan, saying nothing.

Ye Luo and the others watched Baize trailing behind their Respected Master and didn't know what to say, so they simply stood behind, all gazing at Baize.

They tried to see through the old man that Baize had transformed into, to find out what he really was.

But no matter how they looked, they couldn't see through the old man.

It was as if the old man was shrouded in a layer of fog all over...

They knew, this old man was not simple.

Standing at the very back of the dragon's head, Su Xi clutched the Starfish in her hand, her gaze throbbing as she watched her Respected Master and many fellow disciples...
