Close call, what a close call!
Hao Ren inwardly broke into a cold sweat.
Just a little bit.
He was just a tiny bit away from encountering that "Mysterious Great Will."
His own "master facade" meeting a "true master."
That would have been a guaranteed "car crash scene"!
All his "master aura" would be stripped away.
He would be instantly "returned to his original form."
Fortunately...
Hao Ren secretly resolved in his heart that he must pay more attention to his "friends' dynamics" from now on, keeping abreast of all situations in real-time, and never make such a mistake again.
Before his thoughts could fully process, he heard Yun Zhenting's voice again.
"Master, I understand..."
Hao Ren was startled.
Damn!
Old Yun, what do you understand now?
Don't go "understanding things blindly"!
Every time you "understand," I get a scare!
Hao Ren wanted to stop Yun Zhenting, but before he could speak, Yun Zhenting excitedly said.
"Master, you and that Mysterious Great Will are close friends, you asked him to protect our Yun family immortal manor, right?"
You are the one who is close friends with the "Mysterious Great Will"!
Your whole family are close friends with the "Mysterious Great Will"!
Hao Ren was so scared he almost peed his pants!
He was just a "perfectly ordinary" "Golden Core cultivator"!
What qualifications did he have to be the close friend of the "Mysterious Great Will"?
Old Yun, please stop this, you'll get me killed!
Hao Ren felt like crying but had no tears.
Being too successful at "pretending" was sometimes a burden!
If the "Mysterious Great Will" found out that an "ordinary Golden Core cultivator" dared to impersonate his close friend.
He would die!
He would definitely die!
Old Yun, what enmity do we have, what grudge do you have, that you would harm me like this!
"Patriarch" Yun Zhenting was completely unaware of the "certain master's" near-collapse mental state. He felt he was doing great, continuing his "deification" and getting excited.
"Yes, yes, it must be like this!"
"The Little Spirit Monkey King is the pet most valued by the Master! To nurture it, the Master specifically let it undergo trials in a life-and-death battle... I think this is also one of the reasons why the Master didn't appear at the beginning!"
"Master, you are truly thoughtful!"
Hao Ren was dumbfounded.
Holy cow!
Besides "luring the snake out of its hole" and "catching them all in one net," there was now another reason: "cultivating the monkey"!
Hey everyone, that's enough!
If this continues, my "pack up and run" plan will soon become "saving the world."
This is too outrageous!
Yun Zhenting spoke with increasing enthusiasm.
"A life-and-death battle is the best way to develop potential. The Little Spirit Monkey King has indeed achieved self-breakthrough, Master is truly great!"
"However, what I admire most about the Master is that you can invite the Mysterious Great Will... If I'm not mistaken, that Mysterious Great Will should have a bloodline connection with the Little Spirit Monkey. His guidance allowed the Little Spirit Monkey King to complete its ultimate transformation, growing into a unique Buddhist cultivator in this world!"
"Master, you truly are... turning stone into gold!"
"The Little Spirit Monkey King is so fortunate to receive your guidance..."
By the end, Yun Zhenting was moved to tears, his whole body choked with emotion.
Hao Ren
〒▽〒
Old Yun, what you're saying is exactly right, never say it again!
Your inexplicable emotion has even touched me, what the heck!
I've already said I'm "packing up and running," "packing up and running," "packing up and running"...
Important things must be said three times!
Hao Ren felt he had to say something, he couldn't let things continue like this.
"You've misunderstood!"
A majestic voice, slowly sounded, "Bigger" max!
Although Hao Ren's heart was churning with "shockwaves" and "complaints" were clamoring, the moment he spoke, his tone automatically switched to "wise master" mode.
Majestic!
Aged!
Full of "big specs"!
...
Just hearing his voice, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
This was the professional quality of an expert-level "pretending player."
Hao Ren continued majestically.
"Actually, the 'Mysterious Great Will' and I... we don't get along!"
Hao Ren had intended to flatter the "Mysterious Great Will," referring to him as "Great God," but as the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.
"Idol baggage," pfft... "Master baggage" couldn't be lost. How could a "highly respected master" grovel to others?
Too unprofessional!
So, Hao Ren changed his mind and casually referred to him as "that one."
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
Great God, you must forgive me!
On the surface, Hao Ren was calm and indifferent, like a still lake, as if he had reached the supreme realm of "returning to nature" and merging with the surrounding environment.
In reality, his heart was "panicked like a dog."
Woof, woof, woof woof...
"Deification Cult's First Generation Disciple" Yun Zhenting, fell silent.
"Deification Cult's Second Generation Disciple" Qingfeng Zhenren, fell silent!
Hao Ren's answer exceeded their expectations.
They never imagined that the previous "Mysterious Great Will" and the master were not on good terms.
Then all their previous "deification" was invalid.
Start over from scratch!
It would take some time to rebuild a complete "deification chain."
Master, please wait, we will soon establish a new "deification chain."
Yun Zhenting and Qingfeng Zhenren were frantically racking their brains.
At this moment, another person stepped forward.
"Old Ancestor Hei Tong Yi Li"!
At this time, this "big villain" was in a very bad state.
His whole body trembled, shaking like a sieve, his face was ashen with fear.
Bear in mind, before, his body was shrouded in black smoke, and his whole face was black. To be scared pale now, how much terror must he have endured!
"Old Ancestor Hei Tong Yi Li" said tremblingly.
"Just, just now, the Mysterious Great Will seemed to be under immense threat, and fled in a hurry out of fear... As soon as he fled, the Purple Jade Bamboo Forest flew over... Grr grr grr..."
The latter part, "Old Ancestor Hei Tong Yi Li," could no longer speak. The sounds coming from his mouth turned into the sounds of "chattering teeth."
Grr grr grr...
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood his meaning.
The "Mysterious Great Will" was very powerful...
The "Mysterious Great Will" was scared away...
The "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" flew over...
A powerful being within the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" scared away the "Mysterious Great Will"...
Who was that powerful being? There was no doubt, it was the "certain master" whom everyone admired!
In summary.
The "certain master" was even stronger than the "Mysterious Great Will," much stronger!
Well, a very perfect "deification chain"!
Yun Zhenting and Qingfeng Zhenren were dejected.
As the "First Generation" and "Second Generation" of the "Deification Cult," they were actually defeated by a "big villain."
How detestable!
The two of them learned a painful lesson and resolved in their hearts that they must work hard in the future and never let such "shame" happen again.
