Chapter 395: Talking with Ding Yun*
Tang Yin naturally did not expect it. She had promised to give him a gift days ago, but she never told him who she would give him as a slave.
He would be surprised if it was some person above the seventh realm, for she knows Tang Yin can turn him into a mighty power in a few years, but a Supreme Spiritual?
It's of much use to him even now!
With such a power he can do many things that he couldn't before, in terms of traveling all over this continental region.
Tang Yin could not put his joy into words, so he simply bowed a little to Shi Yue.
"Thank you very much, master. I'll be sure to use him well." He said smiling, and Shi Yue simply nodded to him.
"There are several things I have to do these days, so I will be away for a while. The sect will be left in your hand, but I will leave Jia to protect the sect, if you need help with anything, you can consult her." Shi Yue said.
"Jia? That dragon woman?" Tang Yin asked, and Shi Yue nodded.
"Long Jia is her name, remember the True Dragon you saw before? That's her, I'll introduce her to you as soon as I get back." She said and then gave him a couple more things.
"Don't get into mischief while I'm not around." She said, and after looking at him for a moment, she turned to leave.
"Where are you going?" Tang Yin asked, but she didn't say anything. She raised her hand to say goodbye and disappeared from that place, leaving Tang Yin slightly confused.
'It seems that this thing that happened has given her more work than I expected.' Tang Yin thought, though he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
He simply walked out of there together with Ding Yun and entered his sect courtyard.
"It seems that your sins against the sect, are more numerous than I expected." Tang Yin said staring at him, but Ding Yun simply smiled pityingly but refused to say anything about it, as he was afraid to say something out of place.
"You can speak freely, I don't mind. You won't be able to betray me either." Tang Yin said sitting across from him, wanting to get some information out of him.
Ding Yun then looked at him and nodded.
"No, my sins are only enough for the Madam to murder me, not to make me someone else's slave. With my power, this is not as simple as you think." He said, and Tang Yin shrugged.
"Do you think she let you be my slave, solely because it's me?" Tang Yin asked, and Ding Yun nodded his head without any hesitation.
"Is it because I am her disciple? You seem to be a few hundred years old, maybe you know the last disciple of the master." Tang Yin said, and Ding Yun was silent for a while, without saying anything, but then nodded a little.
"That's right, I met him once. But no, it's not because you are her disciple, it seems she sees something in you, that she didn't see in the other disciples. The Madam treats you differently than the rest." He replied.
Tang Yin then became a little interested.
"What do you mean?" he asked, and Ding Yun shook his head.
"My father once told me that Madam Shi Yue was totally against a person close to her, having bloody slaves. The last fight between Madam and her former disciple, was because he wanted to take several beautiful girls in the sect as slaves back then. He was ambitious and at that time, Miss Mu Ruxue was the greatest alchemical talent, he also wanted her as a slave.
But the Madam never let him." He said and was silent, there was nothing more he knew about that time, for he was barely a little disciple.
Still, he looked up and looked at Tang Yin, "But it seems she allows you to have it and even finds you people who can't betray you." He said and lowered his head again.
Tang Yin frowned after nodding.
He had thought of this before but paid no attention to it. Still, if it was so, it meant that she had seen through Tang Yin very well.
Either it was that or...
'No, the master is cunning and might even be hiding from my perception. Perhaps she has seen more of me than I have come to believe.' Tang Yin thought, dismissing other ideas that came into his head.
"Okay, let's stop talking about it. Tell me what you know about Mu Taishi, you seem to know him well and I'd like to know about him." Tang Yin asked...
...
A day later, Tang Yin walked leisurely through the patriarch's mountain until he came to a backyard, a place where Mu Taishi used to be, according to Ding Yun.
He was accompanied by Ding Yun, who followed him from behind.
Mu Taishi was sitting looking at the beautiful scenery before him with some snacks on his table. He looked relaxed and calm at the moment.
When he saw Tang Yin arrive, he got up to greet him, though he was surprised to see Ding Yun behind him.
"Young Master, is something wrong?" he asked hesitantly, and Tang Yin then signaled Ding Yun to stay away and approached Mu Taishi smiling.
"Surprised?" Tang Yin asked seeing that Mu Taishi was in shock after this little exchange between Tang Yin and Ding Yun, such a powerful spiritual supreme.
"This... What's wrong?" he asked in shock, and Tang Yin simply signaled for them to sit down.
"My master gave him to me; you don't need to worry about him. He's my slave now." Tang Yin replied calmly, and Mu Taishi opened his eyes wide with great surprise.
"This..." He said in surprise, and Tang Yin nodded at him.
"I was also surprised when she gave him to me, but it's not bad. That way him will be useful to the sect, while he can't do anything to betray it." Tang Yin said, and Mu Taishi, although he was surprised, nodded.
"Makes sense, did you come to hang out with me, Young Master?" Mu Taishi asked, and Tang Yin looked at the good atmosphere here.
"It's true that this atmosphere is relaxing and makes one want to spend time looking at this beautiful scenery." Tang Yin said, understanding why Mu Taishi was here.
Still, from his words, Mu Taishi understood that he did not come to enjoy this, so he waited for him to speak.
"As you may know, I didn't come here for this. Enjoying the good atmosphere is always good, but now we don't have much time to waste time." Tang Yin said and stared at him.
"I came to make an offer to you, Elder Mu." Tang Yin said.
***
In this chapter, I corrected a mistake. I called Elder Ding, 'Ding Chun' when his name was Ding Yun.
Remembrance: Ding Chun is the Son, the one with the title of 'King'. And Ding Yun is the Elder of the Sect, whom fights against Mu Taishi for the place of Master of the Sect.
Sorry for the mistakes!
