Directly opposite Yue Shuzhai, on the eaves of a certain high-rise building, Qianliu hung a sword around his waist, sitting cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed.

Suddenly, a slight strange noise reached his ears.

Someone stepped on the tiles of the eaves.

The other party didn't mean to hide, his movements were slow and his attitude was generous, so Qianliu sensed the arrival of the other party in an instant.

He turned his head and saw Deng Xutao, who was gray-haired and had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"You are ......" Chiryu felt the strength of the other party, and probably guessed the identity of the other party, but couldn't say the name.

Deng Xutao smiled slightly, "I'm just an insignificant little person, and my name is not worth remembering."

When I retired, you were just a child, and it was normal not to remember. ”

Chiryu squinted and didn't respond, noncommittal.

Deng Xutao's voice changed, and he smiled, "I heard that your son died recently, and the festival is smooth."

It's okay, just get used to it.

Thanks to the blessings of your thousands of families, my wife and children, my most cherished relatives, have left me a hundred years ago.

You see, I've seen it, and I'm alive and well now. ”

Qianliu's eyes widened, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she felt like she was being targeted by a ferocious demon beast.

He stood up instantly, holding the hilt of his sword in his hand, and looked at Deng Xutao head-on.

However, Deng Xutao ignored him, leaving a meaningful smile that disappeared in front of his eyes in an instant.

"Ahem, ahem, I'm old, I'm old, and my body is not good." At the door of Yue Shuzhai, Deng Xutao's figure tore through the space and appeared, covering his mouth and nose with his palm, which was a ball of black blood.

Deng Xutao laughed at himself and walked into Yue Shuzhai, and saw that the blood in his palm was evaporating rapidly.

His body also felt an inexplicable comfort, as if he was soaking in the warm spring water, and was being washed away from the dirt of his body and mind.

He looked at the bookshelves on both sides of the corridor with great interest, and as soon as he swept it, he memorized the titles of the books.

Advanced Physics, Calculus, Linear Algebra...... and other unclear nouns made him nod frequently.

When he came to the cashier, Zuo Teng was leaning on the back of his chair, holding a volume of "Douluo Continent" in his hand.

Deng Xutao found that he couldn't see through Zuo Teng's cultivation at all, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he squeezed out a smile

"You are the left shopkeeper of Yue Shuzhai? With such a young face and body, it is really envious. ”

Zuo Teng heard the voice, raised his head, and found that it was a white-haired old man, his face full of wrinkles huddled together, very old.

Only those eyes, which seem to have a flame burning, are impressive.

Zuo Teng stroked the frame of his gold-rimmed glasses and found that the old man's body was shining with a golden light, and there was a touch of color in the golden light that ordinary people did not have.

He nodded slightly in response to the old man's accosting, but did not speak.

Deng Xutao was not ashamed, and smiled heartily, "Left, shopkeeper, get to know, my name is Deng Xutao, and I am the elder of the Deng family."

Of course, I know that in Yue Shuzhai's eyes, I am just a bad old man who is about to die.

I am a person, as my name suggests, and the thoughts that rush in my mind are always like great waves, and I am always obsessed with new things.

There are so many new things in Yue Shuzhai, I hope that the left shopkeeper can open my eyes before I die. ”

Hearing this, the corners of Zuo Teng's mouth curled up, and his smile was full of sarcasm

"Elder Deng is talking about death, as if he doesn't care, but how do I think this is your cover-up?

You are deceiving yourself, you are deceiving other people, in fact, you care a lot about being alive and you are afraid of death.

A person who is forever obsessed with new things may not be able to look at death calmly.

Those who are truly ready to die are busy reminiscing about the past and the future, rather than seeing new things. ”

On Deng Xutao's old face, various expressions such as anger, grief, and helplessness flashed.

In the end, he restrained his smile and said coldly, "Why should the left shopkeeper hurt my old man's heart?"

Am I really able to accept death, and what does it have to do with Yue Shuzhai? ”

"Of course it does." Zuo Teng closed the book in his hand and put it on the table, looking at Deng Xutao

"Elder Deng said that he wanted to get to know me, and further, you have plans to make friends with me......

But I don't want to make friends with an old guy who is about to go to earth.

If you have a strong desire to survive, it is not impossible for me to let you have a second spring of life.

However, before that, you still need Elder Deng to show your value and sincerity. ”

"Huh." Deng Xutao smiled, "The left shopkeeper is so direct, I won't beat around the bush with you."

Deng and the Deng family are very sincere in cooperating with Yue Shuzhai.

Of course, it is useless to say much about this matter, and it needs to be proved by deeds.

Please wait for the time to come, Deng and the Deng family will naturally show their strength and sincerity that can impress you.

If the left shopkeeper is interested in accepting the Tang family, he can also put the Deng family to the test at the time you think is appropriate. ”

"Okay, I'll wait and see." Zuo Teng smiled calmly, making people unable to guess what was going on.

Then, Deng Xutao took out a round, crystal clear, fist-sized "crystal ball".

"This first step is to trouble the left shopkeeper to open a membership card for me with 10,000 gold coins, and I wish me to survive these decades."

Zuo Teng naturally couldn't recognize what this "crystal ball" was, but from Deng Xutao's words, he could hear that this thing was equivalent to 10,000 gold coins, that is, 100 source crystals.

Secretly scolding the system in his heart for not leaving enough knowledge for himself, Zuo Teng took the "crystal ball" with a calm face, and operated it on the touch screen at the cash register.

During this process, Deng Xutao watched with interest, and saw that the display screen changed with Zuo Teng's fingers, his face was surprised, and he kept nodding his head.

Taking the membership card handed over by Zuo Teng, he carefully observed it again, and sensed the complex and exquisite structure in it, and he was amazed.

Seeing the cartoon version of the white-haired old man on the membership card, he laughed twice with a complicated expression.

"Left shopkeeper, the old man has a reluctant request." Deng Xutao held the membership card in his hand, and the next moment the membership card disappeared out of thin air, and he continued

"The old man is very interested in the strange fire, especially the number one strange fire owned by the left shopkeeper - Emperor Tushegu, I wonder if the left shopkeeper can satisfy the old man's curiosity and let the old man take a look at this strange fire?"

No. Zuo Teng rolled his eyes in his heart.

Although under the cover of the system, no one could see his true cultivation, but the ghost knew if this Elder Deng would guess his strength from his own fire, so he would definitely not show Emperor Tuoshe to the other party.

Anyway, this Elder Deng just wanted to see the strange fire for a long time.

There is a strange fire, and there is not only one.

"Xusheng, come here!"

Zuo Teng shouted through the sound transmission jade, and Zhang Xusheng, who felt the strange fire and the heavy ruler at the third floor, came downstairs with a serious face.

"Show this old man a different fire and serve the supreme members of our Yue Shuzhai well."

After listening to Zuo Teng's words, Zhang Xusheng and Deng Xutao both looked strange.

Zhang Xusheng reluctantly showed the bone spirit cold fire.

Deng Xutao's eyes were hot, he looked Zhang Xusheng up and down, and couldn't help asking, "Child, are you interested in learning with me?" ”

Zuo Teng ???

What's that? Come and grab an apprentice with me?
