Master Liu remained silent, showing no intention of leaving.
He was always the one threatening others, never the other way around.
This humiliation was simply unbearable!
Master Liu had made up his mind.
If it was about seniority, did the Hui family have elders while the Liu family didn't?
The Liu family also had elders; at worst, elders would fight elders.
When it came to fighting, their Liu family had never been afraid!
Old Master Hui seemed to understand his thoughts and said, "Alright, I know what you, Little Liu, are thinking. Although your Liu family is known for being fierce and aggressive, you are also a reasonable person. You wouldn't start a full-blown conflict between the two families over such a minor matter, would you? You understand what I mean."
Old Master Hui's words offered a way out, and it was up to Master Liu to accept it.
Although Master Liu was unwilling, he understood the logic.
Honestly, it wasn't worth involving the family elders for such a small issue.
However, there was no other solution now. Staying any longer would only lead to further embarrassment.
Master Liu then looked at Yu Daochen and said, "Kid, I'm truly sorry, but this is as far as I can help."
Yu Daochen nodded and smiled, "I understand. Thank you, Master Liu, for your assistance. I'll remember this favor."
Even though the matter wasn't resolved, Master Liu had done his best.
This kindness was certainly worth remembering.
Master Liu nodded and smiled, "Kid, your temper suits me well. If you encounter any trouble in the future, don't hesitate to call me. I'll do my utmost to help."
Yu Daochen nodded, cupped his fists in a bow, and expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Master Liu, for your righteous intervention."
Master Liu nodded, then transformed into a serpentine form and leaped onto Wang Gang's shoulder.
Wang Gang looked at Yu Daochen, feeling deeply apologetic, "Master Yu, I'm truly sorry."
Yu Daochen smiled, "I understand!"
Only then did Wang Gang, with Master Liu, depart.
After the two left, Old Master Hui turned to Yu Daochen and inquired, "Little fellow, how is Qin Muyu doing?"
Upon hearing Old Master Hui ask about Qin Muyu, Yu Daochen replied, "He's the same as ever, all is well."
Hearing this, Old Master Hui merely nodded slightly, then turned to Master Hui and instructed, "Go, release that child Zhou Fu."
Upon hearing this, Master Hui, though filled with confusion, nodded and went to release the person.
Seeing this, Yu Daochen was slightly perplexed.
He had expected this matter to be very difficult to resolve, but he hadn't anticipated Old Master Hui would release the person so readily.
Old Master Hui then asked, "Little fellow, are you satisfied with what I've done?"
Yu Daochen nodded repeatedly, his face full of smiles, "Thank you, Old Master Hui, for agreeing to release him."
A kindly smile appeared on Old Master Hui's face, and he addressed the immortals present, "Alright, you can all leave now. I have some matters to discuss with this little fellow."
Upon hearing this, all the immortals were filled with doubt.
They couldn't understand what Old Master Hui had to discuss with this kid.
Could it be that this kid had some connection with Old Master Hui?
That seemed impossible; this kid was clearly visiting the Hui family for the first time.
Could it be related to the name Old Master Hui mentioned, Qin Muyu?
Who was this Qin Muyu?
And what kind of person was he?
They had never heard of him before.
But since Old Master Hui had spoken, no one dared to disobey.
Master Hui, gathering his courage, asked, "Old Master, how should we handle the juniors?"
The people Master Hui referred to were Ma Shenyue and that particular immortal.
"Them..."
Old Master Hui pondered for a moment and then said, "I will handle this matter later."
"Understood, Old Master."
Master Hui nodded and, along with the other immortals, left the wooden house.
Once all the immortals had departed, Old Master Hui finally asked, "Little fellow, do you only have memories from the life of Xu Feng?"
Seeing that Old Master Hui knew so much about him, Yu Daochen was shocked but still answered truthfully, "Replying to Old Master Hui, I indeed only have memories from the life of Xu Feng."
Hearing this, Old Master Hui showed a hint of disappointment but then smiled, "That's for the best, that's for the best."
Seeing Old Master Hui's emotional state, Yu Daochen couldn't help but ask, "Old Master Hui, did you know me in one of my past lives?"
Old Master Hui smiled faintly and praised, "Little fellow, you're quite clever. That's right, I did know you in one of your past lives."
Upon hearing this, Yu Daochen had a bold guess.
Old Master Hui knew him from a past life, and their relationship was extremely close.
Old Master Hui naturally understood Yu Daochen's thoughts and smiled, "That's right, I was indeed very close to you in one of your past lives. To be precise, we were old partners."
Yu Daochen was taken aback.
Old partners, didn't that imply he was an outer disciple in a past life?
This news was truly astonishing!
Old Master Hui looked at Yu Daochen, reminiscing about the past, his smile growing wider, "That's right, in one of your past lives, you were indeed an outer disciple of our Hui family, and in that life, you were the only disciple to have served as the Grand Hall Master."
The Northeast Five Immortals: Hu, Huang, Bai, Liu, and Hui.
The weakest in strength were their Hui family.
Since ancient times, the outer disciples of the first four families had all served as Grand Hall Masters, but their Hui family never had.
However, two hundred years ago, a Hui family outer disciple surpassed all rivals, competing in medical skills with the Bai family, confronting the Liu family head-on, and with the Hu family...
Finally, with his own strength alone, he defeated all the prodigies of the four great families at that time, and even brought down the Hu family, which was at its peak.
This achievement had influenced the entire Northeast immortal circle, but it didn't last long...
Thinking of this, Old Master Hui could only sigh helplessly and say, "Little fellow, how about we move to another place to talk?"
Yu Daochen nodded, "As Old Master Hui wishes."
Old Master Hui looked at Yu Daochen, liking him more and more.
It was as if he saw his old partner from years ago.
In comparison, this little fellow truly resembled his old partner.
If he were still alive, the Hui family today would be vastly different.
They wouldn't still be at the bottom.
Even if he had lived for three more years, just three years would have been enough for the Hui family to rank third, or even second.
But fate played its cruel hand!
Old Master Hui stood up, looked at Yu Daochen, and then smiled, "Little fellow, walk a thousand meters east from here. I'll be waiting for you there."
Yu Daochen nodded but was still worried about his disciple, Ma Shenyue, and that immortal.
Old Master Hui, sensing Yu Daochen's slight concern, smiled, "Don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to touch them. I can guarantee you that."
Yu Daochen stood up and bowed, "I naturally believe what Old Master Hui says."
