Li Hai sighed, “Since Old Blind Man gave you a suggestion to solve it, it means that you still have a chance to escape your tribulation in the future. Therefore, you need to be careful in the future, don’t look for trouble on the initiative, and stay as humble as possible!”

However, Wu Kun was unable to calm down at all even after his captain calmed him down.

He continued to hug Li Hai’s legs and almost got Li Hai’s robe wet with tears and snot.

“Alright, let go of my feet. You’re a cultivator; how can you be this crybaby? Are you not embarrassed at all? You are in the presence of my Junior Brother as well as the Village Chief”

As patient as Li Hai was, he also felt uncomfortable as his robes were almost stained with dirty liquid.

At this moment, Qin Yi stepped forward and consoled Wu Kun.

“Brother Wu, calm down! Instead of hugging Senior Brother Li’s feet, why don’t you write a letter?”

Hearing this, Wu Ku stopped crying but was still hiccuping as he was confused.

“… A letter?”

“Yeah, a letter to your grandfather. I mean, he’s your only family left, right? Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like the last letter or anything-“

Wu Kun blanked for a moment before he cried again, “Boho… boho… Captain Li, can I hit your Junior Brother?”

Li Hai felt a headache as he massaged his temples lightly.

“Alright, all of you can leave first. I’ll likely have a lot to talk about, and it will take a long time to speak with Blind Old Man. Village Chief, can I trouble you to escort the two of them out first?”

The Village Chief quickly responded, “I am not troubled at all, Sir Immortal.”

After shaking Wu Kun off of his leg with a bit of effort, he finally entered the backyard.

The Village Chief’s head suddenly turned to a black-robed man and spoke tentatively, “Sir Immortal, I will escort you out of this house. In addition, I can also accompany Sir Immortal to walk around the village and introduce many things about this village.”

“Although Green Willow Village is only a tiny village, it still has few places worth visiting. For example, the waterfall in the west of the village, and Sir Wu often goes there to meditate.”

Qin Yi smiled under his robes and asked, “May I go around on my own?”

“Of course.” The Village Chief immediately replied as he continued in a cautious tone.

“Sir Immortal may go around on your own; it’s just that I wish that Sir Immortal would take consideration of our Spiritual God. You may approach It, but I hope you don’t hurt It or disturb Its rest…”

“Don’t worry! I’m not that unreasonable.”

Qin Yi soothed the Village Chief’s worries.

He could understand that the Spiritual God was a crucial figure to the villagers. They might even be willing to sacrifice their own lives to protect their Spiritual God, just like when their Spiritual God saved this village.

Even though Qin Yi was curious about this Spiritual God, he didn’t dare to be careless and blindly attack it to get a response.

More importantly, their Spiritual God is a Rank 1 Magical Beast that has cultivated for a hundred years; who knows, maybe its strength was already comparable with the Peak Stage of Qi Condensation Realm.

Anyway, he just wanted to go over to it and see if he could extract something from a Magical Beast.

With that, the Village Chief escorted Qin Yi out of the house and left Wu Kun, who was still crying on the floor alone.

Meanwhile, Li Hai walked up to Blind Old Man with a polite smile on his face in the backyard.

“Junior Li Hai pays respect to Sir Blind.”

“This is…”

At first, Blind Old Man had a colloquial expression when he saw Li Hai’s face, but his face immediately turned to shock and then to laughter a second later.

“To think that a little baby this old man saw back then turned into a fine young man already.”

“It’s an honor for this junior that the renowned Blind Old Man still remembers his sentiment. I’ve heard a lot about Sir Blind’s story from my parents’ mouths and hoped I can meet you someday. However, I never expected to meet Sir Blind here. It truly was a fortunate event.”

“Ohoho, like father like son, you two are exactly the same, like to spew a bunch of lies with a pleasant smile. Do you think I don’t know the reason why there are many annoying people recently suddenly looking for me to the point where I feel like I’m being hunted?”

Blind Old Man laughed as he pulled at his short white beard. He peered at the young man in front of him with one eye.

“At first, this old man thought it was nothing but an occurrence since there are many people who are looking for my whereabouts, whether it comes from old friends, people who need my abilities, or enemies.”

“However, when this old man calculated it, I found that those annoying people turned out to be revolving around one person, and that person had a cause and effect relationship with this old man.”

“After doing a lot of calculations, this old man finally found the person’s location and decided to see personally which person was spending a lot of resources just looking for this old man’s whereabouts. However, this old man didn’t expect that person to be you, The Ninth Prince of the Golden Dragon Empire, Li Hai.”

Li Hai had no intention of circumventing him as he did such a thing. Thus, he said with a face of a sincere apology.

“It was indeed this junior discourteousness for sending my men in order to look your whereabouts, Sir Blind. Therefore, please accept my sincere apologies.”

As he said that, he took out a crystal clear vintage glass that glowed with golden color.

Then his hand opened the vintage glass lid a little as a strong and unique aroma came out of it.

“This smells…”

Upon seeing this vintage glass and smelling the distinctive aroma emanating from it, Blind Old Man couldn’t help but be surprised.

“Don’t tell me this is the Overlapping Nine Dragons Wine?!”

Li Hai smiled as he replied with a bit of pride, “That’s right, as you said, this is the Overlapping Nine Dragons Wine.”

The Overlapping Nine Dragons Wine is a special wine made by members of the royal family of the Golden Dragon Empire and had reached Rank 4. 

It is a highly luxurious and rare wine that members of the royal family can only enjoy. Outsiders can’t possibly behold it, let alone taste it.

The royals were only willing to share this wine when they opened a grand banquet in the Imperial Palace. It’s no wonder why Blind Old Man was so shocked when Li Hai took it out.

“I specially prepared this wine for you, Sir Blind.”

“Ohoho, to think that miserly father of yours is willing to give this old man the Overlapping Nine Dragons Wine, will the sun appear from the west?”

“Sir Blind jests, Please don’t tell imperial father about this……”

“Ohoho, sure thing…..”

They both kept throwing ‘pleasant’ laughs at each other.

Sometime later…

“So, what do you want to know, little prince?”

Blind Old Man hastily opened the glass lid of the vintage glass.

As soon as he did that, an enchanting aroma that had previously disappeared reappeared once again.

He wasn’t willing to let the scent waste in the wind, so he immediately inhaled it greedily with his nose.

“Oh, amazing~.”

A few seconds later, he closed the vintage glass again and made it disappear.

Li Hai, who witnessed this, was in no hurry to express his intentions as he waited patiently for Blind Old Man.

When he saw Blind Old Man storing the Overlapping Nine Dragons Wine, he plainly said.

“Sir Blind, you must have understood the purpose of my search for you.”

“Hmm, what is it?”

“Please don’t play fool, sir Blind. After all, this is related to what you said to my parents when I was a baby.”

Blind Old Man fell silent for a while, then he sighed and said.

“Well, this old man already knows your intention. However, just so you know, if you ask me to find out the location you’re looking for, then my answer is impossible because it has power far beyond mine. If I forcibly calculate it, I will alarm it and might draw hostility from it.”

“I want to live longer, so I won’t do that. Besides, I don’t want to become the Sleeping Dragon Sect’s enemy either.”

“Even though the Sleeping Dragon Sect has declined over the past five hundred years, it is still considered as one of the oldest surviving sects in the Azure Dragon Region. It has a lot of history and background; I can’t contend with such a sect as a loose cultivator.”

“After all, the thing you’re looking for is the Sleeping Dragon Sect’s Supreme Guardian.”
