"Yan Mo Chen greets old man Qing You!" He and Joe were still together, repeating what they had said.

Qiao still had eyes that trembled slightly. Looking at Yan Mo Chen who was kneeling on the ground like a deity who had made a mistake, her heart clenched tightly …

Just like this, Yan Mo Chen and Qiao Qiao were still kneeling at the entrance of the bamboo house, respectfully saying, "Greetings, old man Qing You, these words are extremely clear."

After an unknown period of time, the closed bamboo house's door opened slowly. Qing Xu's face was pale and there was still blood on his lips. However, he was still proud of himself as he looked at Qiao Qiao and said, "Come in, master wishes to see you."

Qiao Qiao's face was still full of joy for a moment. He then stood up and met Yan Mo Chen's eyes. They smiled at each other and walked towards the bamboo house.

She had waited for so long, searched for so long. Although her goal now was different from when she had first met old man Qingyou, the desire to meet her was still extremely frightening.

After entering the bamboo house, the decorations inside were extremely simple. There were only three chairs on the table, a wooden couch, and a few bits of star-studded porcelain vases.

Joe still swept through all the furnishings in the room, but the thing she was most curious about was the figure in white behind the screen.

Just like the figure he had seen in the thatched cottage at the outskirts of the city that day, although old man Qing You was already old, his body was not hunched. Instead, his white robe gave him the appearance of an immortal valley, making him even more spirited.

Qiao Qiao's brows were still tightly knitted as he tried to see the facial features of the old man Qing You behind the screen. However, he only saw the old man turning his body slightly and turning his back.

She sighed, afraid that he had discovered her intentions.

"Qiao Qiao pays his respects to Elder Qing You." Qiao Qiao was still facing the figure behind the screen. With a face full of courtesy, he bowed slightly and said.

Behind the screen, the quiet and quiet old man had a smile plastered on his lips. He lifted his foot and slowly walked out from behind the screen.

Qiao Qiao's eyes were still fixed on the figure that was slowly emerging from outside the screen. The atmosphere in the room instantly froze and her eyes instantly widened. Her eyes were filled with shock and suspicion as they stared at the figure of the old man.

His white robes fluttered in the wind, and his grayish white beard scattered on his face in a benevolent manner. However, there was a wisp of wisdom and indifference in his kind eyes, a trace of profoundness that caused his cold face to be filled with a sense of seriousness …

Qiao Qiao's body still stiffened. It was this face. It was the face that she had been facing day to day ever since she was young. It was the face that she had once respected and feared. It was …

However … But how is this possible!? This old man in front of him was clearly his master in the modern era!

But how could it be possible that her master was the old man who always harmed her?!

Qiao Qiao's brain had already become empty for a while, this caused Yan Mo Chen to notice something.

Ran Er's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. The look in her eyes that was filled with both cheated and joyful emotions had already made him feel suspicious in his heart.

Could it be … Ran Er and old man Qing You knew each other before?

However, this was impossible. Ran'er had grown up in the palace, so how could she get to know the most mysterious old man in the martial arts world, Qing You?

Furthermore … Moreover, this old man Qing You looked a little familiar. No matter where he saw him, he couldn't figure it out …

As Yan Mo Chen's gaze emptied and he was deep in thought, he heard the quiet and quiet old man stroke his beard and speak.

"He is indeed worthy of being my good disciple. He is actually able to easily walk through the formation in the Yanzhai Temple."

When the voice fell, Qiao Qiao's body still trembled violently. She finally found a reason to comfort herself, it was that the old man from the Qing You Clan who did all this evil in front of her only looked like her master, but now that he opened his mouth, it proved even more that he was her master!

"Shi …" Master? " Qiao Qiao's lips were still parted as he muttered with a probing tone.

"But I haven't seen Master for only a year, and I'm already unsure?" Elder Qing You slightly raised his palm, once again attaching it to his long, grizzled beard.

Yan Mo Chen's face was filled with shock. He never expected that old man Qing You was Ran Er's master!

"For... "Why?" Joe's face was still flustered, and she opened her thin lips with a questioning look.

"Why?" Old man Qingyou slightly curled his lips and smiled gently at Qiao Qiao. "There's no reason for that."

Qiao Qiao's nose was still sore. She finally understood why He Mingyou would stammer and not say anything when he mentioned the old man.

Originally … So … Old Man Qingyou was their master!

"Master, Eldest Senior Brother, he …"

"Those who disobey their master's orders shall be punished for their crimes." Qiao Qiao still did not finish her words. She simply crossed her arms with an indifferent expression.

Qiao was still surprised. So He You You was truly captured by Elder Qing You. But why did He You You You disobey Master's orders …?

Without waiting for Qiao Qiao's thoughts to fly around, he heard Yan Mo Chen by the side open his mouth and ask indifferently:

"Since you are Ran Er's master, why do you keep sending people to harm her?"

Qiao Qiao's face was still slightly startled. It was because she saw that her master was pleasantly surprised and had forgotten about the matter regarding Yan Mo Chen's body. Subsequently, her expression became anxious and she knelt to the ground before Elder Qing You.

"Master, your disciple doesn't want to ask about the various misunderstandings between us. I only hope that you can save Yan Mo Chen out of consideration for your master and disciple relationship."

Qing You's face was cold. He was about to shout out when he heard Yan Mo Chen's questioning voice, but seeing that Qiao was still kneeling down, he could not help but sigh and shake his head slightly.

"It's not that I don't want to save him, it's because no one can save his injuries."

"Master, I beg of you, as long as you can save him, I will do anything you want!" Qiao Qiao continued to kneel down and kowtowed as he said this.

Yan Mo Chen stood to the side, his cold eyes were filled with anger. He did his best to suppress the anger in his heart, but in the end, he did not succeed.

After that, he went forward and pulled up the kneeling Qiao Qiao, still holding onto him tightly. His face was filled with anger as his sharp eyes landed on the indifferent old man Qing You. His thin lips slightly parted as he coldly said:

"You are Ran'er's master, I should respect you, but you have always hurt Ran'er, and you didn't even take her master's and disciple's feelings into consideration. Such a master's and disciple's feelings, it's fine!"

Yan Mo Chen's face was filled with anger as he said this, he was speechless at Qing You. He then pulled Qiao Qiao with one hand, and the two of them walked out of the bamboo house in large strides.

Qiao Qiao's face was still slightly anxious. When her feet landed on the door, she angrily flung Yan Mo Chen's hand away from her wrist, and with a pleading expression:

"Yan Yan, the child and I really can't lose you …"

Yan Mo Chen's originally indifferent eyes instantly flashed with a glint of light. He knew what Ran'er was trying to say, but he couldn't ask him to beg someone who had caused so much harm to Ran'er!

"Ran Er, I don't want you to lose your original appearance either …"

He also knew that if it wasn't for him, Ran Er wouldn't have been bullied again and again in the Amaranth Temple. Furthermore, she wouldn't have been unable to utter a single word when she faced her most amiable master.

Qiao Qiao's body still trembled slightly. She understood Yan Mo Chen's words, but in the face of life and truth, she would definitely choose to save Yan Mo Chen's life first.

Her two hands tightly gripped Yan Mo Chen. Although her face showed some hesitation, she still turned around and entered. When her gaze collided with Qing You's gaze again, she gave a faint smile, as if she had thrown everything aside, and said slowly:

"Master, this is my last request."

Elder Qing You's body slightly paused, but there was no trace of anger or joy on his cold face. He did not say anything, but only stood quietly where he was as if he was pondering over something, but no one could guess what he was thinking.

It was unknown how long the atmosphere within the bamboo house had been frozen for. In the end, Old Man Qing You slowly nodded his head and spoke softly to Qiao Qiao.

"Alright."

Qiao Qiao's face was still filled with joy. He was about to bow and thank Qing You when he saw old man Qing You wave his hands coldly and say:

"Don't be so happy so early. I will save him, but not now."

Qiao Qiao's face was still shocked. Just as he was about to ask with his mouth wide open, he was surprised to see that her cold face was turned away as she spoke to Qiao Qiao:

"When you give birth to your baby, and the child is with him, you can only choose one!"

Qiao Qiao's face was once again shocked. She did not know what her master's words meant. Why did he want to harm the baby in her womb?

"Impossible!" Even if he were to die in this life, he would not allow anyone to touch a single hair on his woman or child!

"Humph, I'm afraid it's not up to you to decide when the time comes." Elder Qing You snorted coldly before lifting his foot and walking towards the bamboo house. He didn't turn his head, but only spoke these indifferent words from his mouth.

"Before you give birth to your baby, you can stay here. Of course, you can also leave."

She was very clear about her master's ability. Not to mention Yan Mo Chen, even if all of the Imperial Palace's Embroidered Uniform Guard were here, it would still be very difficult for her to surpass her master.

He actually used such a despicable matter to force Ran'er to listen to him obediently. He clenched his fists tightly, and even though he knew that he was definitely no match for him, he still couldn't help but want to step forward and take back some justice for Ran'er!

Qiao Qiao still sat there silently with a conflicted expression. However, his heart was making an indescribable separation.

Child... Yan Yan …
