　　Suddenly, the room was so quiet that a needle drop could be heard.
　　Cao Yuan, in a green robe, stood still, but the surging killing intent on his body was chilling.
　　Ye Qiu only felt that his breathing began to become difficult.
　　He was a little shocked.
Logically speaking, with his current cultivation base, ordinary people simply couldn’t suppress him, but Cao Yuan could just do this.
　　“As expected of a generation of Dragon Lords. Even if the 9000-year-old doesn’t know martial arts, in terms of momentum, he is not inferior to any peerless master.”
　　Ye Qiu marveled in his heart.
　　“How is your injury？” Cao Yuan’s eyes fell on Qilin’s shoulder and asked.
　　“It’s already healed.” Qilin said.
　　“Healed？” Cao Yuan was surprised.
　　Qilin smiled and said： “Ye Qiu healed me. He is the most powerful doctor I have ever seen.”
　　Cao Yuan looked at Ye Qiu deeply and said： “Thank you.”
　　“You’re welcome, 9000-year-old. We are all brothers. This is what I should do.” Ye Qiu said.
　　Cao Yuan nodded slightly and asked Qilin again： “Was the journey smooth？”
　　“It was okay. The Snake King and the Strange Granny of Southern Yunnan chased and killed me to Jiangzhou, and then intercepted and killed me on the highway back to Yangcheng. Fortunately, there was Ye Qiu and the Long-browed True Man…”
　　Qilin detailed the whole process of the journey completely.
　　After listening, Cao Yuan laughed and said, “The Strange Granny is dead and the Snake King has fled. Then we have two fewer enemies.”
　　”Senior,　thank　you.”
　　”Thank you for saving Qilin.”
　　Cao Yuan thanked the Long-browed True Man.
　　”You don’t need to thank me. I didn’t save Qilin for his sake. I did it for his sake.” The Long-browed True Man pointed at Ye Qiu.
　　”Then I should be even more grateful to you.” Cao Yuan said, “Ye Qiu is not only a member of our Dragon Gate, but also my savior.”
　　The Long-browed True Man asked in surprise, “He saved your life？”
　　Cao Yuan smiled and said, “The poison in my body still depends on him.”
　　So that’s how it is.
　　”Drink？” The Long-browed True Man asked.
　　”I’m injured and can’t drink for the time being.” After saying that, Cao Yuan took out a bottle of calcium tablets from the side, poured one into his mouth and chewed it.
　　Seeing this, the Long-browed True Man was inspired and, holding his wine glass, shook his head and chanted, “The absurdity of youth is no more, now it has all become side dishes. Chew carefully when you’re old and have nothing to do, one story and one calcium tablet.”
　　Another　doggerel　poem.
　　”Nine Thousand Years Old, you don’t know that on the way to Yangcheng, the Long-browed True Man also wrote two poems. I’ll read them to you.”
　　Ye Qiu loudly chanted the two doggerel poems written by the Long-browed True Man to Cao Yuan.
　　After listening, Cao Yuan smiled and said, “Senior is quite diligent in writing poems.”
　　The Long-Browed True Man said with a proud face, “Be diligent in writing poems, write poems diligently. Only by being diligent can good poems be created. What’s the use of creating good poems? They can make you so happy that you can take them as food.”
　　All that comes out of his mouth are doggerels.
　　Ye Qiu really didn’t want to complain anymore.
　　Cao Yuan said, “I still remember that fifteen years ago, when I met senior in the capital city, senior also liked writing poems very much.”
　　Ye Qiu and Qilin looked at each other in dismay.
　　They both remembered that before killing that huge python, the Long-Browed True Man personally said that he had just started learning poetry recently.
　　It turns out that this “recently” refers to the recent fifteen years.
　　With　this　level？
Still delusional about surpassing Li Bai and be on a par with Liu Bang?
　　Go dream！
　　”Senior, let’s not talk about poetry today. Let’s drink, drink.” Qilin quickly toasted.
　　”Okay, drink.” The Long-Browed True Man picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, and then said loudly, “Good wine！”
　　”Senior…”
　　”Don’t talk.” The expression of the Long-Browed True Man suddenly became serious.
　　In an instant, several people in the room became nervous. Especially Qilin, whose sharp eyes swept around, thinking that there were enemies coming.
　　However, half a minute later.
Only heard the Long-Browed True Man say, “The autumn is clear and the air is fresh, and there are no clouds in the sky. The abbot of Longhu Mountain, the Long-Browed True Man, meets with the master of Longmen. Cao Yuan, the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old, in Yangcheng, drinks and enjoys himself, and is even very happy. The Long-Browed True Man then leaves a poem to be passed down to future generations.”
　　“It’s called 《Yellow Flowers》！”
　　“When I was young, I was so frivolous that I missed several good girls. I really want to fall in love again, but unfortunately, the yellow flowers have already withered.”
　　The Long-browed True Man smiled and said, “Everyone, isn’t the poem written by this poor Taoist very good？”
　　What a load of crap！
　　Kirin couldn’t wait to slap the Long-browed True Man in the face.
　　Just now, he thought the enemy was coming and was extremely nervous. Who knew that the Long-browed True Man was actually brewing a poem.
　　You say, you write a poem, okay, but can you stop asking us how well you wrote it？
　　Don’t you have any idea in your heart how well you wrote it？
　　You ask us like this, it’s just disgusting us, you know？
　　“Everyone, why don’t you all say anything？”
　　The Long-browed True Man looked at everyone in confusion. After a while, he laughed heartily and said, “I see. It must be that the poem written by this poor Taoist is so good that you all don’t know what words to use to describe it. That’s fine. Otherwise, if I hear too many words of praise, I will be proud.”
　　Damn it…
　　Can you be any more shameless？
　　“Ouch.” Cao Yuan suddenly let out a cry of pain and said eagerly, “Ye Qiu, quickly help me into the bedroom and help me treat my injuries.”
　　“Okay.” Ye Qiu immediately supported Cao Yuan and walked towards the bedroom.
　　Kirin stared blankly at the two of them. It was not until Ye Qiu and the others were about to enter the bedroom that he suddenly reacted and quickly got up and said, “Your Highness, let me help you.”
　　”No need.” Cao Yuan quickly turned his head and instructed Qi Lin： “You stay here and drink with the senior.”
　　”Your Highness…”
　　”This is an order！ Remember, if the senior doesn’t drink to his heart’s content, I’ll hold you accountable.”
　　Qi Lin was on the verge of crying.
　　After entering the bedroom, Ye Qiu let out a sigh of relief. Finally, he didn’t have to listen to the old thing reciting poems anymore.
　　”Over the years, Changmei Zhenren still can’t give up this hobby of writing poems.” Cao Yuan shook his head helplessly and then said： “Ye Qiu, I’m very glad you could come to Yangcheng.”
　　”I heard that you were in trouble, and I didn’t dare not come.” Ye Qiu said： “Are we really going to fight to the death with the enemy tonight？”
　　”Of course.” Cao Yuan said： “I’ve always been as good as my word.”
　　Ye Qiu fell silent.
　　”You don’t need to participate in tonight’s battle.” Cao Yuan said again.
　　”Why？” Ye Qiu didn’t understand.
　　Cao Yuan explained： “This battle concerns the life and death of my Longmen. If I die, Longmen will face disintegration.”
　　”Although Longmen hasn’t been established for a long time, it has taken a great deal of my efforts. If I die and Longmen disintegrates, I’m afraid I won’t be able to rest in peace even in the underworld.”
　　”Therefore, I deliberately left Zhuque in the capital. The purpose is to leave a glimmer of hope for Longmen.”
However, Zhuque is after all a girl. Even if she is as wise as a demon and has a great military strategy, she is not suitable to be the commander of Longmen.”
　　At this point, Cao Yuan’s face became serious, and he shouted in a low voice： “Ye Qiu, listen to the order.”
　　Plop！
　　Ye Qiu knelt on one knee.
Cao Yuan said with a serious expression: If I die, then you will take over as the master of Longmen and expand Longmen’s territory and fight in the world!
