The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Speaking of which, master, didn't you say in your previous communication that it would arrive tonight at the earliest?"

The three generations of master and apprentice found an empty dining table by the window and sat down. They waved gently, and the breeze from the rolled up sleeves swept away the dirt left by the meal on the table. Ling Shuang had just sat down when she heard the disciple's question.

This is the second time this question has been asked. Is Su Shang so curious about the reason why she arrived early? Ling Shuang shook her head expressionlessly.

Su Shang shrugged. Just when she thought her master was not going to explain, Ling Shuang responded with the calmest tone——

"I can't help it. This is the first time my Su Shang has asked me for help since she became the leader. I immediately put down what I was doing and rushed over. I haven't moved for a long time. I underestimated myself. I also I didn’t expect it to be so much faster than expected.”

"Then...master, your original job doesn't matter, right?"

"Of course it's important. The construction period for three pieces of silk is one month, and it's only been a week. I don't know how long it will be delayed."

Su Shang's brows twitched and wrinkled, "Then... then Taixu will come forward to compensate for the liquidated damages. However, if this ends quickly, with the speed of the master, it will be too late to rush back..."

Halfway through her words, Su Shang finally came to her senses - "Master! At your speed, you can weave one piece in two hours! Is it enough to finish the whole year's orders after just one week of work?"

"As people get older, their hands and feet become weak. Why do we have to do it so fast when it can be done in a month? It's not the same as before. A piece of pure handmade silk is much more valuable than in the past."

"Hey, hey, hey! Can you two, master and disciple, consider my feelings?"

"Hua" patted the table hard on the side, but when Su Shang and Ling Shuang turned to look at her, she sighed in a pretentious manner:

"Sigh... You two just focus on chatting when you meet. You must rarely communicate with each other, right? This is not good, this is not good. Anyway, communication technology is so advanced now, and you are not the kind of person who doesn't have spare time to do everything in your spare time." It’s just a waste of time during training, you can definitely communicate more!”

After the words fell, "Hua" naturally turned his eyes to look for the reactions of his disciples and disciples.

Ling Shuang pursed her lips hard, but showed no more unnecessary expressions, and did not even look at her. Su Chang turned her head with some guilt, but after a while, her head slowly turned around again, her face full of emotions. A guilty smile:

"Um...Master, Master and I chat a few words every night and then say good night to each other..."

The corners of Ling Shuang's mouth couldn't help but turn upward, but under "Hua"'s gaze, she quickly suppressed it.

After thinking about it, Ling Shuang still leaned into Hua's ear and whispered:

"Master, you never told us your contact information."

"Snapped!"

"Hua" suddenly slapped himself hard on the forehead, then hugged his head, retracted his legs to the chair, and kept muttering "How could she do this" and "What's going on in the old guy's mind" What?”, “Bah! You deserve it!”, “She can’t eat fried cakes, no, I can’t eat fried cakes,” and so on.

Su Shang and Ling Shuang looked at each other silently. It was obviously a vicious cold violence incident that could be labeled as "caring for empty nesters", but the air was filled with an atmosphere of embarrassment and happiness.

Ling Shuang, who had just returned to Taixu Mountain, didn't understand the situation yet. She looked at the crying and fussy Hua with a serious look on her face. On the surface, she seemed unfazed, but what happened to Su Chang, her apprentice? Maybe you can't see the cold sweat falling from her forehead?

"master--"

Su Shang's voice was imperceptible, while Ling Shuang just tilted her head slightly. If it weren't for the hair hanging down from her temples fluttering twice, no one would be able to tell what she did.

The master and apprentice looked at each other silently again. Su Chang slowly shook his head at her, but looked in the direction of "Hua".

Ling Shuang's breathing became heavy for a moment, her eyes that were originally slightly narrowed unconsciously widened a little, and her straight back also tilted back slightly——

So, what does this stupid disciple of mine want to say?

Even if there is a so-called tacit understanding between the master and the disciple, it is difficult to capture the meaning that the other party wants to express from these few actions with unclear meanings. Not to mention... Ling Shuang felt that there shouldn't be much tacit understanding between herself and this idiot.

However, it’s not that the idiot’s movements are completely incomprehensible.

In other words, without her reminding her, it was difficult for Ling Shuang not to notice that something was wrong with her master.

The specific situation may not be clear in a few words, let alone a few simple micro-movements. But that's enough. Let's not talk about "what's wrong", just "something's wrong with the master" is enough to cause a headache.

She has been living in seclusion in Mobei for a long time and is not very familiar with recent events. She only saw in the news that Tianming's headquarters seemed to have been attacked. In fact, except for Mikael and Otto, no one in the entire China including Su Shang, no, it should be said the entire world, knew that Immortal Red Kite was dead.

Ling Shuang quickly turned to the right and silently stared at the master who was immersed in his own world.

But Su Chang could tell that this was actually a shaking of the head, because before turning right, Ling Shuang's head tilted to the right.

There is nothing controversial about this, it is nothing more than a "meaning to stop this topic."

"Ahem!"

He made a fist with his right hand and coughed slightly to show that he understood.

"Master! Master! Are you hungry? I have two more buns here."

"Did you secretly go down the mountain to buy it early in the morning again?"

Ling Shuang narrowed her eyes again, and the teasing in her smile was suffocating.

"Uh... cough, cough, cough! No! This is the girl who was brought here with Kiana, named Raiden Mei, Raiden Ryoma's daughter. The curry filling is pretty good.

Su Shang took out a flat oil paper bag from her wide sleeve robe and placed it on the dining table. It was just an action of passing the buns, but the Taixu master, who could lift a hundred kilograms of boulders with one hand, had his hands shaking like he was passing them through a sieve.

Seeing this, Ling Shuang curled her lips helplessly, and there was light flowing in the slits of her narrowed eyes, probably thinking of interesting things from many, many years ago.

And just because of such an inattention, only one of the two buns left in the oil paper was left.

"Master, please...slow down..."

"Yes, yes, it smells like Yayi. Why don't Sushang think of a way to keep this child to take care of the food in Taixu Mountain? Anyway, she has lost the Conqueror Gem, and without the power of the Herrscher, I think she is still It’s better to just be a cook.”

"Uh...it depends on the opinion of Anti-Entropy, Master..."

Su Chang scratched her head and answered, her eyes meeting Ling Shuang again inadvertently.

Ling Shuang shook her head and quickly added:

"Since the master likes to eat, let's eat the last one too. I don't care. By the way, Su Shang, where are your uncles and your mother? I should be the one farthest from Taixu Mountain. We’ve all arrived, why haven’t we seen them?”

After taking a bite of the first bun, "Hua" happily took the other one into her hand, as if what Su Shang and Ling Shuang were talking about had nothing to do with her.

Su Shang looked a little embarrassed, but not embarrassed.

"Actually, everyone knows it, at least Uncle Chaoyu, Uncle Su Mei, as well as Uncle Wanxi and Wanru. The so-called everyone's vote is actually just a kind of delay. It is originally designed to counter entropy. We just rushed to China to buy time, but we might as well take this opportunity to get together. On the surface, we can't get in touch with Anti-Entropy, and we don't know when exactly Anti-Entropy will come to take back Kiana. Theoretically speaking, how long will it take to get together? The later the Master comes, the better.”

"Oh, I thought you would turn against that Rakshasa...wait, according to you, it's my fault that I came early?"

"No, no, no! No, no, no! Master is obviously the farthest one, but after receiving the news, he was the first one to arrive. Master's love and care for his disciple... his love and care... is like the rushing water of a river. ...Well, how do you say that sentence..."

"呲——"

Ling Shuang grinned expressionlessly.

"I asked you to study more after becoming the leader. Why can't you even say a few words?"

"Uh... I, I've read a lot, and I can use idioms!"

"You don't know how to use idioms until you are five hundred years old."

"...Master, can you save some face for me in front of Master..."

"hehe."

Ling Shuang's face was still expressionless, only showing her trademark sneer, but Su Chang didn't notice it. She said "Master", and the corners of Ling Shuang's eyes raised crazily. The fish eyes are almost bent into the shape of red phoenix eyes.

After sneering twice, Ling Shuang fell silent for a moment and picked up the topic again:

"What about your mother and sixth junior brother? What's going on with them?"

When mentioning these two people, Su Chang's expression was not as lively as before.

"Uh... Master, you have lived in Mobei for a long time and are far away from the Central Plains. You may not know... Uncle Ma has not been seen for almost a month. The people that Uncle Chaoyu sent out to look for him have changed three times, but they can't find him. Someone... This time I asked Uncle Su Mei to find him. There is still no news yet. Maybe Uncle Ma has already..."

"Ha! That's not surprising. In the past, even if I lived in the desert, I could hear rumors about him from caravans from time to time. In the past few decades, with the advent of television and the Internet, I no longer hear anyone talking about this name. I thought he was I was dragged back by my senior sister to prepare for pregnancy, hahaha——"

Ling Shuang's choice of words had no scruples and made the five hundred-year-old Su Shang blush.

"Master! Please be more serious! Something may have happened to Uncle Ma!"

"Don't worry, good people don't live long, and disasters live for thousands of years. As long as the second senior sister is still alive, the junior brother will not die so easily. I think the senior sister is probably hiding in some ravine. Don't you think so, master?"

Judging from Ling Shuang's posture, she really didn't need any steamed buns. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to put a plate of melon seeds in front of her.

The Red Kite Immortal whose name she called had a different look - he raised his head innocently and quickly wiped the corners of his mouth stained with yellow curry juice.

"Ah? What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

"..."

"..."

"Forget about horses, Su Shang, where is your mother?"

"My mother kissed her..."

Su Shang lowered her head and quickly raised it again, keeping the corners of her mouth raised in a smile.

"My mother doesn't want to come. Since my father died, my mother has been hiding in Sichuan to escape the world. In the past two years, she even found a temple and became a nun for a month."

"Amitabha, your mother has been the kindest one among the seven of us since she was a child. It's not bad to become a monk, but why not go to a Taoist temple?"

"Because eighty-seven years ago she also worked as a female crown prince for a month."

"..."

At this time, even Ling Shuang, who had always had a sharp tongue, didn't know what to say.

But at this moment, the helplessness and sadness that had just risen on Su Chang's face suddenly dissipated, replaced by the pride after the prank succeeded:

"Hehe, Master must have been deceived by me too! Just now I secretly sent a message to my mother, telling her that Master is back, but she immediately said that she would arrive before tomorrow evening."

"It's not surprising that your mother is the most clingy to the master among the seven of us."

"Ah? Why do I remember that Chaoyu spent the most time with me?"

Suddenly, "Hua" wiped her lips and inserted a sentence, but when the words fell, she saw Ling Shuang's dead fish eyes in front of her.

"You...what are you doing!"

Although he was clearly the master, "Hua"'s body leaned back uncontrollably. Perhaps it's because the pair of dead fish eyes without any emotion are so scary that anyone who comes here will be shocked.

"It's nothing... I'm just sighing. Master has really forgotten many things... Senior sister is the oldest with you. At that time, she was old enough to be the mother of several of us. That's why you feel that Chao Yu is in your memory. It’s the one who accompanies you the most. Moreover, companionship and dependence are not the same concepts. Sometimes, just because there is less companionship, you become more dependent.”

"Ah...hahaha...is that so? Then when Suyi comes, I will just spend more time with her..."

Ling Shuang shook her head and slowly sat upright.

"Master, do you still remember the story you once told us about carving a boat and finding a sword?"

"certainly……"

"The ship has been moving forward for five hundred years, and Su Yi no longer needs your company."

"Hua" rubbed her head vigorously. Ling Shuang's words made her feel ashamed, but other than that, she felt more anger that had nowhere to vent.

"Then... then why did the six of them go down the mountain at that time? Su Yi was not very young when she went down the mountain. It's not like I couldn't stay with her if she stayed on the mountain. How could this become my fault again... I can't Was it me who drove them down?"

The response "Hua" received was a neat sigh.

"It seems that you have indeed forgotten too many things, master. It was you who drove them down the mountain. Of course, it can also be said that it was them themselves. Do you have no memory of what happened at that time? Yu Du Logically speaking, the side effects of dust are not like this.”

"Ah...ah...this...that..."

"boom!"

A sudden explosion saved "Hua". Everyone unconsciously looked out the window, but they were burned by the dazzling morning sun. Despite this, the straight rising red smoke was indeed extremely eye-catching.

"That's it?"

"Dongfeng where Kiana is! Something happened?"

Just as Su Chang wanted to contact someone to confirm the situation, "Hua" who was sitting opposite her suddenly disappeared, as abruptly as turning a page in a PPT.

What's even more troublesome is that the disciples and elders who were having dinner didn't know the truth and were thrown into chaos by this sudden change.

"Master, you follow me, I will stay here..."

"No, Su Shang."

Su Shang had already stood up. When she heard the sound, she lowered her head and saw a far more serious expression on the master's face than at the handover ceremony of the master five hundred years ago.

"Leave the affairs here to the elders. This is the meaning of their existence. And you and I must follow the master and never let her out of sight, because... in the current state of the master, she is the master of the entire Taiyuan." The most dangerous person on Xushan Mountain.”
