　　However, this meal was completely torture for Pavilion Master Liu and the others.
　　Not to mention the four people were squeezed together, and from time to time they would tremble all over because of a look or a word from Ninth Uncle.
　　That appearance was just like a few little lambs that had strayed into a wolf pack.
　　”Little Youping, thank you for today’s hospitality. My friends and I are very satisfied with this meal.”
　　While picking his teeth, Ninth Uncle reached out and patted Xu Taiping’s shoulder.
　　”You… really… really satisfied？”
　　Looking at the four people from Pavilion Master Liu who were still huddled in that corner, Xu Taiping couldn’t help but ask.
　　”Satisfied！”
　　”We are very satisfied！”
　　”Little Youping’s cooking skills are really amazing！”
　　”That’s right, this roasted mutton has a perfect combination of color, aroma and taste. It’s really a rare delicacy！”
　　The four people praised Xu Taiping’s cooking skills one after another. Their words were so sincere and touching.
　　”Satisfied… satisfied is good.”
　　Xu Taiping smiled awkwardly and nodded.
　　……
　　At the entrance of the courtyard.
　　”Taiping, we’ve bothered you today. It’s time for us to go.”
　　Bai Hong smiled and said goodbye to Xu Taiping.
　　”It’s no bother. If Uncle Bai has time, he can come and sit often.”
　　Xu Taiping smiled and said.
　　”What about this old man？”
　　Ninth Uncle, who was picking his teeth, suddenly stuck his head over.
　　“If you want to come, Uncle Jiu, it’s better to come once every two or three months. After all, this is a place for cultivation, not a restaurant. Also, your appetite is four or five times that of an ordinary person, and the meal money has to be increased…”
“Alright, alright, I don’t love your meal at all!”
　　Uncle Jiu interrupted Xu Taiping who was speaking very seriously.
　　After that, he also glared at Liu Songshan and the others in front and said：
　　“What are you looking at? Get lost！ I never want to see you guys again！”
　　“Yes… yes！”
　　The few people fled away quickly.
　　“Bai Hong, let’s go. You and I still have things to do.”
　　After driving away those people, when Uncle Jiu saw that Xu Taiping and Bai Hong were so affectionate, he immediately called Bai Hong over with a jealous look on his face.
　　“Okay, Uncle Jiu.” Bai Hong first nodded to Uncle Jiu, then turned to look at Xu Taiping and said：
　　“Taiping, we’re leaving. You can practice here with peace of mind. No one will come to disturb you anymore. If I have time in a few months, I’ll come to see you again.”
　　“Thank you, Uncle Bai, for bringing Uncle Jiu to my small courtyard to sit.”
　　Xu Taiping bowed and thanked Bai Hong very seriously.
　　In his opinion, if it weren’t for Bai Hong, how could a person like Uncle Jiu come to his small courtyard to eat.
　　So in his eyes, Uncle Jiu could only be regarded as a guest, and Uncle Bai was the person who should really be thanked.
　　“Taiping,　you　probably…”
　　“Bai Hong！”
　　Bai Hong was just about to explain when he was interrupted by Ninth Uncle behind him.
　　“Stop dawdling, it’s time for us to leave.”
　　Ninth Uncle glared at Bai Hong, then stepped on the flying sword and broke through the air. The air wave caused by the flying sword first split the clouds in the air in two.
　　“Wait for me, Ninth Uncle.”
　　Bai Hong flapped his wings and chased after him.
　　……
　　“Why didn’t Ninth Uncle tell Taiping the truth？ He should be grateful to you.”
　　After catching up with Ninth Uncle, Bai Hong asked him with great confusion, tilting his head.
　　“Do I, Jian Jiu, need a brat to be grateful？”
　　Ninth Uncle curled his lips.
　　“Of course you don’t need it, Ninth Uncle.”
　　Bai Hong naturally saw that Ninth Uncle was being duplicitous, but he didn’t expose it.
　　“However, if this kid kept flattering and fawning on me today, I would instead be displeased. His performance today is very much to my liking. Knowing that my identity is extraordinary, he can still remain neither humble nor overbearing. This kind of disposition is far superior to that of his contemporaries, and it is even rare among the inner disciples of the Seven Peaks.”
　　Ninth Uncle praised very much.
　　Bai Hong had known Ninth Uncle for so many years, and it was the first time he saw him evaluate a junior like this. There couldn’t help but be a hint of horror in his eyes.
　　“Could it be that you, Ninth Uncle, have the idea of accepting an apprentice？”
　　Bai Hong asked tentatively.
　　“In the Tianchi of the Greedy Wolf State in the Northern Realm, a demonic lotus has grown. If it is allowed to continue, I’m afraid there will be another demonic state in the Divine Continent. I want to cut it off before the demonic lotus is born. This trip will take at least two years. If in these two years, that little guy can successfully break through to the Open Door Realm, even if his talent is only that of white bones, I, Lu Jianjiu, am also willing to accept him as a personal disciple and teach him all my swordsmanship.”
　　Uncle Jiu’s expression became extremely serious, which was very rare.
　　Bai Hong on the side was stunned. He didn’t expect that Uncle Jiu really had the idea of accepting a disciple, and was also willing to impart all his swordsmanship. You know, the disciples of the seven peaks of the Qingxuan Sect, in order to learn his swordsmanship, some even begged the headmaster. But even if the headmaster came to beg, Uncle Jiu still didn’t want to teach.
　　“Little Bai, this trip to the Greedy Wolf State is a matter of life and death. If you are afraid, you can turn back now.”
　　Uncle Jiu suddenly turned his head and looked at Bai Hong on the side.
　　“Bai Hong has no fear and is willing to follow Uncle Jiu to cut off the demonic root of the Greedy Wolf！”
　　Bai Hong’s expression changed, and he said with extremely firm eyes.
　　……
　　At the same time.
　　In a mountain forest dozens of miles away from the Green Bamboo Residence.
　　“Pa！”
　　“Peng！”
　　Xu Youzhi, the head of the Strong Wind Hall, used both hands and feet to severely slap Zuo Ju and kick Zhou Gu.”
　　“You　two　idiots！”
　　He pointed at the two people kneeling on the ground and cursed.
　　“This time it’s because Martial Uncle-Grandpa is magnanimous and didn’t bother to argue with the two of you. If it were in the past, the two of you would probably have been scared out of your wits long ago！”
　　 Pavilion Master Liu also glared at the two men ferociously.
“Pavilion Master Liu, Hall Master Xu, the two of us dare not do it again, dare not do it again!”
　　“Yes, how could we have known that that brat has Martial Uncle-Grandpa as his backer！”
　　The two men knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy.
　　“ Pavilion Master Liu, do you think Martial Uncle-Grandpa really won’t pursue it anymore？”
　　Xu Youzhi asked the Pavilion Master Liu beside him worriedly.
　　The implication was that if Martial Uncle-Grandpa would still pursue it, these two people in front of him couldn’t be left alive.
　　“I carefully noticed earlier that that Xu Taiping doesn’t seem to know Martial Uncle-Grandpa. Instead, he is very close to that bastard Bai Hong. I guess it should be that Bai Hong is using the prestige of Martial Uncle-Grandpa to intimidate us.”
　　Liu Songshan frowned and thought.
　　“Sure enough, it’s this bastard who is up to no good！”
　　When Xu Youzhi heard this, he stomped his foot ferociously and directly crushed a rock to pieces.
　　“Let’s keep these two people for now. How could Martial Uncle-Grandpa care about the life and death of an ordinary outer sect disciple? It’s just a whim.”
　　Liu Songshan finally decided.
　　“Are we just going to let that bastard Bai Hong go like this？”
　　Xu Youzhi asked again.
　　“I heard that Bai Hong will go to the Greedy Wolf Country in the northern border with our grand-uncle master in a few days. He won’t be able to come back in three or two years, and he might even die there.”
　　Liu　Songshan　muttered.
　　“This Bai Hong, relying on his ability to command the spiritual birds in the western mountains, has been opposing us in the West Wind Pavilion. If he dies in the Greedy Wolf Country this time, it will be a great happy event for you and me.”
　　Xu Youzhi said with a somewhat greedy look in his eyes.
　　“After Bai Hong leaves, it should be his wife, Ye Que, who will take over the command of the many spiritual birds in the Western Mountains. And Ye Que’s cultivation base is far inferior to that of Bai Hong. Perhaps we can think of some ways to bring her down. At that time, the entire Western Mountains will be under the management of our West Wind Pavilion. Even if Bai Hong comes back alive, the matter will be a fait accompli, and he will have no choice but to accept it.”
　　Liu Songshan narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Youzhi with a crafty expression on his face.
　　“Brother Liu’s words are excellent！”
　　Xu Youzhi also showed a smile on his lips when he heard this.
