Chapter 512 The Children Go on a Study Tour
“Master, your eldest nephew is coming this way,” said Grandpa Long.
Upon hearing this, the grandmaster looked at Ye Jingchuan and said, "Xiao Chuan, you stay here and guard this place. I'll go and take a look."
After saying this, the grandmaster turned and left. When he turned out of the foot of the mountain, he saw his junior disciple Liu Ting standing at the mountain gate.
Upon seeing his grandmaster, Liu Ting hurriedly said, "Grandmaster, my second brother sent a message saying that Grand Tutor Zhou and Master Wen led a group of children from the capital a few days ago, heading east. They said the academy arranged for the students to travel and study, and they would arrive near the Miaoyuan Mountains in three days."
Study abroad?
Upon hearing this term, the Grandmaster raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that he didn't believe it at all! What talk of studying abroad? It's more likely that Grand Tutor Zhou just wanted to go on a trip!
Does he not know about the recent developments concerning Grand Tutor Zhou? How laughable! This old fellow has become childlike again, relying on his seniority and age, and on the fact that Master Zhou can't dissuade him, he's throwing a tantrum and insisting on going out to study!
Seriously, the older I get, the more I seem to regress.
However, this is understandable. Zhou Taifu was already so old, and it seemed like he was about to be buried in the ground. But then he unexpectedly stumbled into the path of cultivation, which instantly wiped the dirt off his head and added several decades to his lifespan.
Just imagine, who wouldn't be excited and jumping for joy?
After understanding what was going on, the grandmaster said loudly, "Understood, tell someone to go out and greet them."
Three days later, at Shen time (3-5 PM).
Medicine King Valley welcomed a group of chattering little rascals, led by none other than Grand Tutor Zhou, Wen Yuanqian, and Ren Zuan, along with Master Zhou, the hardworking and dutiful king of the children.
At dusk, the girls returned from planting herbs on the mountain and arrived at the canteen. When they saw this group of people, they couldn't believe their eyes.
For a time, the canteen was bustling with noise.
Sisters, we miss you so much!
"Really? If you miss us, why didn't you send us a message? Or are you just making things up?"
"..."
"Oh my, it's been so long! You sisters have become even more beautiful!"
"We believe you. You have a sweet tongue. As a return gift, your older sisters will take you up the mountain to play tomorrow."
In this way, the girls successfully tricked a group of children into going up the mountain with them to help them.
Zhou Taifu and the others were finally free, and they spent several days discussing, cultivating, exchanging ideas and practicing with their grandmaster.
That day, as soon as the grandmaster came out of the cultivation room, he said to the group, "I plan to go on a long trip in a while. Do you have any important matters to attend to recently?"
Upon hearing this, everyone understood that the Grandmaster held multiple positions, and before becoming the Second Elder, he was a special figure in the Zhongzhao Kingdom.
Wen Yuanqian: "Grandmaster has something to attend to, so please go ahead and do your work. We should head back tomorrow."
Ren Zuan: "Indeed, these bastards have been out for quite some time now."
Master Zhou: "Grandmaster, rest assured, we..."
Before Master Zhou could finish speaking, the Grandmaster interrupted him and said with a smile, "Hey, don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to send you away. I was just saying, if you don't have anything urgent to do, would you like to take them to the mountains? Old Dragon is fast, it won't take much time to go back and forth."
"Ah? A mountain range?" Grand Tutor Zhou was the first to exclaim in surprise. "Is it the Yanqian Mountain Range you mentioned?"
Ren Zuan also opened his eyes wide and looked at his grandmaster with great interest.
Neither of the two elderly people had ever been there; they had only heard about the mountains from others. Now that they had the opportunity to go, how could they not yearn for it?
Wen Yuanqian: "It would be wonderful if Grandmaster could go together."
Master Zhou: "What about Wenxia and her group of children?"
“Together.” The grandmaster said with a smile, “It’s a good opportunity to make things a little more difficult for these girls, so that Wen’er won’t come back and accuse me of favoring boys over girls.”
When this was mentioned, the grandmaster was a little angry because Wenwen had won a bet with the old dragon before she set off. Her bet was that the grandmaster would take her sisters to the mountains when he had time. If he didn't, the grandmaster would be a typical example of favoring boys over girls.
So, when the master told the group of children and girls about his decision at dinner time that evening, the dining hall erupted in thunderous commotion once again.
"Grandmaster, you are truly wise and understand our hearts so well!"
"Grandmaster, we'll definitely kill as many monsters as possible, and gather plenty of monster meat for Grandpa Dragon!"
"Grandmaster, Grandmaster, I love you like a mouse loves rice—"
"Grandmaster, Grandmaster, I love you, may Amitabha Buddha bless you—"
Unbelievable! They even ended up singing a duet together.
Who else could have taught them these catchy pop songs besides Wenwen?
In an instant, the singing from the dining hall spread throughout the entire Medicine King Valley. Those who could go were overjoyed, while those who couldn't go yet vowed to cultivate diligently and wait for the next opportunity to go to the mountains.
Early the next morning.
The children's group, the girls' group, and the new generation of Medicine King Valley all sat together on the old dragon's back and flew north.
When they reached the skies above the northern desert, it was just beginning to get light. Under the command of his master, the old dragon swooped down and pierced through the clouds, landing steadily on the square in front of the bamboo courtyard in the valley.
As luck would have it, Wen Qilin and Wen Qiyuan had just returned to the valley and were resting in the bamboo courtyard when, at dawn, they suddenly heard a familiar dragon's roar coming from the sky.
Now, the number of bamboo courtyards in this valley has increased considerably, and some of the people Wen Qilin trained in Sihe Mountain have already moved here to cultivate.
The commotion of the old dragon's descent was witnessed by everyone in the bamboo courtyard, and they were all astonished!
Could it be?
The Wen brothers immediately rushed out of the house.
"Father, Grandmaster," Wen Qilin said with delight, "Why did you all come together? Grand Tutor Zhou, you're here too?"
Grand Tutor Zhou laughed and said, "Yes, I came along to take a look. I've always heard you say that the Mobei Valley is good in this way and that way. I'm going to have a good look at it this time."
Grandmaster: "I'm going to take everyone to the mountains, and we'll stop by to take a look along the way."
Wen Yuanqian: "How's it going on your side?"
"Dad—" Wen Chengyu and Wen Chengmo rushed into their father's arms like two little firecrackers at top speed.
"Uncle, Second Uncle—"
"Uncle-in-law—"
The younger generation greeted their elders with formalities.
"Father, Grandmaster, Grand Tutor Zhou, come on, let's go inside and sit for a while."
After saying that, Wen Qilin turned to the group of children and said, "Xia'er, take your younger brothers and sisters to the orchard for a walk. I'll let you know when we're ready to go."
So the group split into two groups. The elders naturally went to the main hall of the bamboo courtyard to discuss matters, while the children, having been given permission, ran towards the orchard.
After discussing the matter thoroughly, it was nearly noon, and everyone enjoyed a lively lunch together.
After a short rest following the meal, around 3 PM, the group set off for the Yanqian Mountains.
Given that Grand Tutor Zhou and Ren Zu'an's cultivation had not yet reached the second level of Qi Refining, the two elders waited patiently for everyone in the valley.
This was exactly what Grand Tutor Zhou wanted; he could finally relax and stay in the valley for a few days.
