"—Do you think your master is a bandit? Even if Gu Tong'er were dead, he would still be a treasure of the Gu clan. If he refuses to give it to anyone and leaves the treasure to rot in the Gu clan, we can't just steal it. We can only beg. When you go to Yanzhou, you must visit the Gu clan. They will know that you are here on behalf of your master. We'll see if they give it to us then."
These masters are surprisingly disciplined. In novels, such longevity treasures aren't something just any ordinary person would casually mention, spouting nonsense like "the capable will obtain it" or "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."
"Master, I have a question—how many Burning Sun Realms are there in the country?"
The white-haired girl thought for a moment and said, "Including Shen Yanqing and me, there are only 13 confirmed cases. There are no more than 20 in secret. Some of them are nearing the end of their lives and know they are going to die, so I can't tell whether they are still alive."
"—" Lu Ren felt a little uneasy and asked, "Like you, Master?"
No one outside knew about her, and even few within her own clan were aware of her existence; they simply waited quietly for her life to come to an end.
Although her master looked to be under twenty, she was definitely over a hundred years old, perhaps even close to the limit of over one hundred and fifty. In fact, after learning that she was over a hundred years old, Lu Ren suddenly felt a surge of excitement.
Although she is an old lady, she is over 100 years old, which is more acceptable than someone in their seventies or eighties!
She seemed to be in a good mood today, pretending to wipe away tears, and said, "Yes, if I can't help Master retrieve that precious material, I might pass away in a few years."
"—I will do my best."
Seeing his miserable look, the girl smiled and gently comforted him by placing a hand on his head: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you really can't bear to part with your master, then beg your master to try to live a little longer."
"By the way, Master, there should be your descendants in this clan's territory, right? According to seniority, they would be my senior brothers and sisters. Should I go and pay them a visit?"
Upon hearing this, the white-haired girl giggled heartily and asked, "Still testing the waters?"
"Test, test what?"
"Master did indeed marry and had two children, but now, all of his beloved grandchildren have long since passed away. To put it bluntly, this clan territory is full of my descendants, even that girl Yaoxing is from my branch—"
Hearing a young and beautiful girl say that this place is full of her descendants still feels a bit strange.
"Oh dear, you're always thinking about this and that, do you really think of your master as a little girl?"
Lu Ren felt a little embarrassed after his little scheme was exposed.
The supporting character's master was outstanding in appearance and seemed to be close in age. He personally taught him every day. Although he was ruthless in his actions, he was also incredibly gentle and kind to him. How could he not feel it?
Although his reason told him that she was an old woman, Lu Ren's heart would indeed race a little from the occasional intimate contact.
He sighed, "Master, perhaps you shouldn't use this appearance anymore?"
The white-haired girl, resting her chin on her hand, leaned very close to his face, her expression full of surprise, and asked, "Really? You really like Master? You really have some improper thoughts about me?"
Lu Ren sighed, turning his face away, not really wanting to talk to her: "Can I suspect that Master is flirting with me? There's no sense of distance at all."
"What old woman would worry that her grandchildren would like her and then deliberately keep her distance?"
"No old woman can look seventeen or eighteen years old. In two years, she might look younger than me."
The white-haired girl covered her mouth and chuckled, then vigorously ruffled his hair, saying, "If you can retrieve that precious material, your master can live for another hundred years or so. Would you like your master to give you a chance?"
"What opportunity?"
"The chance to pursue my master?"
"Then you'd be an old cow eating young grass."
"hehe."
"Besides, a teacher-student relationship is doomed to fail."
"Who said that? My husband is actually your grandmaster."
Lu Ren was shocked: "There's such a thing? If Grandmaster knew that you were seducing your grand-disciple all day long, he would probably be so angry that he would come back to life."
The white-haired girl laughed angrily: "You say I flirted with you? Whose eyes were wandering around Master all day long? I know I'm naturally beautiful, so I just assumed you were a young boy who admired me and didn't take it to heart. And you dare to turn around and accuse me?"
Feeling that he had gone a little too far with his jokes with his master today, Lu Ren said with a stern face, "You're so old and still so unserious. I can't argue with you, so I'm not talking to you anymore."
His shameless behavior really angered the white-haired girl, who floated over and gave his face a hard tug.
"If you don't get the treasure back, your master will strip you naked and hang you at the entrance of the clan's territory for three days and three nights."
As she spoke, she vanished.
They always appeared and disappeared without a trace, and Lu Ren had long been used to it.
He lay back down on the deck chair in the yard, and as he took out his phone to find some movies to watch, a little boy holding a rabbit doll came out of the house, yawning repeatedly.
She shook her head and saw Lu Ren sitting in the yard, so she ran over to him.
"Is Xiaojue'er ready for bed?"
The little one said in a sweet, childish voice, "Not sleepy yet~"
"Your eyelids are drooping and you're still not sleepy? It's almost nine o'clock. Let's go back to sleep, brother."
39
"I don't want to go back yet~ I want to go to the bath with my brother~"
Little Jue'er was making little noises, I don't know if she was being affectionate, and she kept trying to climb on him.
Lu Ren picked her up and let her rest against his chest.
"Brother is going out tomorrow. Xiao Jue'er, you need to listen to your uncle, aunt, and your brothers and sisters these next few days, understand?"
I talked to Xiaojue about it this afternoon, and she's been making noises right now, like she's a little unhappy.
But she must have been too sleepy. After being held in Lu Ren's arms, she found a comfortable position and then kept rubbing her eyes.
Lu Ren then said, "If Xiao Jue misses her brother, she can tell her uncle, and we can have a video call, okay?"
"Okay~"
"Good girl."
"Little Jue'er, would you like your brother to bring you a present?"
"Yes~"
"What do you want?"
"Little Jue'er wants her brother to come back soon, brother, please come back soon, okay?"
At that moment, Lu Ren could knock out two hundred blond-haired men with a single punch.
He gave the little girl two quick kisses on the cheek, making her giggle.
""
He was playing on his phone and teasing her a bit, but then he stopped replying.
Looking down, I saw him sleeping soundly in his arms, even sucking his fingers.
He's three years old and still sucks his fingers, just like a little baby.
He removed her finger, played on his phone in the yard for a while, and planned to send the little one back after watching the movie.
"The path."
"Uncle Tian, you've arrived."
"Here, let me hug you, thank you."
"What trouble? By the way, Uncle Tian, I'm going to Yanzhou with Miss tomorrow. I told Xiao Jue'er that if she makes a fuss, just give me a call."
"it is good."
Shen Tian took the little one, looked at Lu Ren, and suddenly said with emotion, "This child really loves you, Lu Ren. Why don't you become his godfather?"
"Oh dear, I'm not that old yet, I'm only a full twelve years older than Xiao Jue'er."
Shen Tian chuckled, "The way you talk normally, people would believe you're about my age. I forgot you're only seventeen or eighteen."
"When he gets a little older, I could be his mentor."
"That's great."
"Oh, right, Uncle Tian—"
Shen Changtian found it a bit strange and asked, "Why are you stammering? Is there something you want to ask of Uncle Tian? Please speak freely."
"It's nothing major. I've just heard that a hundred years before and after the emergence of the Void Realm, the Shen family was just a small merchant family in the Thousand Lakes area. The reason they have become one of the most prestigious families in the Great Yu Dynasty is because of their ancestor, the Burning Sun Realm expert, more than three hundred years ago, the legendary Lamp-Transmitting Immortal—Shen Zhixian?"
Shen Changtian replied, "Ancestor Zhixian, what's wrong?"
Lu Ren looked around, though he felt that even if his master were right next to him, he wouldn't be able to detect him.
"It's nothing, nothing at all. I just heard about some of the deeds of this ancestor and I admire him greatly. I wish I could admire his demeanor. Uncle Tian, do you know if there is a portrait of our ancestor Manzhi in the clan?"
"As for the portraits of our ancestors, of course we have them. They are displayed in the main hall of the ancestral hall and in the ancestral home."
"Really?"
Lu Ren's mind raced with a search icon as he rubbed his hands together and asked, "I wonder if I could visit the ancestral home tomorrow to pay my respects to that ancestor?"
He wasn't stupid; he could easily see the mystery surrounding his master's identity.
These past few days, I've been investigating the history of the Shen family's rise to power with the young lady. In fact, in the hundreds of years of the Shen family, only three people have ever publicly emerged at the Burning Sun Realm.
Shen Yaoxing's grandfather, Shen Yanqing, was only discovered today to be the handsome white-haired man she met a few days ago. Going back two hundred years, there was also a male ancestor. The furthest one was a woman, Shen Zhixian, who lived more than three hundred years ago.
Lu Ren now strongly suspects that his master is the most mysterious and powerful great-grandmother of the Shen family, who appeared out of nowhere more than three hundred years ago!
He'll go to the ancestral home tomorrow to investigate and see how long this supporting character's master can keep up the act, but he has a feeling it won't go smoothly.
A great-grandmother with a youthful mindset might set up some obstacles, but little does she know that the more obstacles there are, the more it reveals the problem.
"No need, Uncle Tian has photos of our ancestors on his phone, look—"
Lu Ren was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened as the person in the photo came into view.
