"Old god, what conditions do you have?" Yan Shu asked.
"It's very simple. Be my apprentice and return to the Yan Palace in ten years. You will naturally be able to see him then. Can you?" the old god said.
Yan Yan did not expect that the conditions offered by the old god were like this, so she asked: "Is he still alive?"
"Alive." The old god replied affirmatively.
"Okay." As long as he is still alive, it is the best outcome. What does it matter if we meet again ten years later?
"Come with me." The old god said, and with a wave of his hand, Yan Shu saw a wooden house appearing in front of him, and behind him was an airtight bamboo forest.
"Old fairy, is this an illusion created by you again?" Yan Shu asked.
"Call Master." the old god reminded.
"Master. Is this an illusion created by you?" Yan Shu continued to ask.
"No." The old god replied.
"Those people who came with me, where have they gone?" Yan Shu asked again.
"Call Master."
…
"Yes, Master." Yan Shu had no choice but to ask again: "Those people who came with me, where have they gone? They are all innocent people, can you not hurt them?"
"You are kind, but everyone has their own selfish motives. How do you know that they don't want to get rid of you early and go home secretly?" the old god asked.
"No, they are all guards chosen by the emperor for me. I believe in their loyalty." Yan Shu said with certainty.
"In that case, let's keep them alive. It's up to them whether they can go back." The old god said.
"Thank you, Master." Yan Shu quickly thanked him. It seemed that this old immortal still had some humanity. "By the way, where are they now?"
"We are still in the cave. Everyone has their own inner demons. Some people will always live in illusions, but people with a firm mind will naturally be able to overcome their inner demons and come out."
"So, I am a strong-minded person?"
"So be it!"
The master and apprentice were talking as they walked, and unknowingly they had entered the wooden house.
"Kneel down." The old god sat down at the table and ordered.
"Why?" Yan Shu was puzzled.
"Since you want to worship me as your master, you naturally have to kneel down, serve tea, and sign a life-and-death contract with me." The old god explained.
"No way, aren't you an old god? Do you believe this too?" Yan Shu expressed some disbelief.
"Kneel down as soon as I ask you to do so. Why are you talking so much?" The old god poured a cup of tea and handed it to Yan Shu.
"Thank you, Master." Yan Shu took the tea cup, raised her head and drank it in one gulp.
"You..." The old fairy was furious. This disciple asked her to serve tea, but she drank it herself. Who is this disciple?
"Oh, oh, oh, I understand. I'll serve tea to Master." After saying that, Yan Shu poured another cup, knelt down and said, "Master, please bow to me. Master, please drink tea!"
Although this apprentice is a bit out of character, he is still quite smart. Forget it, let's not argue with her. The old immortal took the tea cup and took a sip, feeling very happy.
The old god stretched out his hand and tapped Yan Shu's forehead. Yan Shu felt a warm current flow from her forehead into her body.
Yan Shu touched her forehead: "Master, what is this?"
"This is the apprenticeship gift given to you by your master. From now on, all evil will be immune to you!" the old god replied.
"Thank you, Master." Yan Shu quickly thanked the old god.
"Let's go, I'll take you to meet someone." After the old fairy said this, he took Yan Shu to the back of the wooden house. After walking for more than a hundred steps, he saw soup pools lined up vertically and horizontally, and each pool was filled with water. There were people, without exception, all sitting with their clothes on, their eyes closed.
