.
Wei Jun, seeing this unknown man for the first ti, had the feeling for a mont that he had seen him sowhere before, and for a mont he compared him to the figure of a boy who had stayed at his house a little more than three years ago.
But upon seeing the apparent age of the man before him, he had to dismiss these thoughts.
That said, the more he looked at this person, the more he felt that he knew him in so way.
He wondered what that person was doing in his house, but then it occurred to him that he might have been the one to bring him in.
That said, although he wanted to thank the man imdiately, he couldn't help but notice a detail in what the stranger had just said.
'Does he know ?' he thought.
Seeing the confusion on the old Wei's face, Ethan smiled and said:
"Old man, you worked like a mule for an entire year, and now you're pretending you don't even know , tch,
seems like your illness has hit your brain as well," Ethan said, shaking his head as if he were disappointed.
"Problems with my head? You're the one with problems in your hea-" He almost instinctively gave him a response, but then stopped when his brain finished processing the words, and imdiately his eyes widened as he murmured.
"E-Ethan, is that you?" he said as he rose from the bed.
Ethan nodded.
At first, he had only planned to stop by and check how the old man was doing, but seeing that he was alone at ho, and on top of that seed to be ill, he decided to pay him a visit.
Who would have thought his condition would be so much worse?
He could imdiately tell that the old man's body was weakened, and this was not only because of his age but also due to several diseases that seed to have developed over the last few years.
One of the most obvious, which he had imdiately noticed, was osteoporosis, which is a reduction in bone density, and this wasn't really very rare, especially among the elderly after a certain age.
Adding to this the other small issues his body seed to have, it could be said that he was slowly withering away
Unlike the demon Qi infection, or any other rare disease, this wasn't really hard to treat, at least not for him. Your adventure continues at empire
Seeing that the old man had fainted outside the house, he picked him up and carried him inside to his room.
And while doing so, he gave him a quick treatnt.
He hadn't really done anything special.
He had only strengthened his body using his spiritual Qi, and had used the wood elent in his Qi to eliminate so minor ailnts and revitalize his organs so that his body could protect itself to so extent from diseases and other issues.
In essence, he had made the old man a very healthy elderly person.
He could live the rest of his years in peace without facing the various physical and ntal issues that one encounters at his age.
Wei Jun was clearly very surprised to see Ethan, and imdiately couldn't help but ask how he was doing and what had happened in the last few years.
Ethan didn't go into too much detail about what had happened, simply saying that he had been recruited by a sect, where he had lived for the past few years, and only recently had the chance to leave training.
Wei Jun, hearing this, was extrely happy for Ethan.
After all, being recruited by a sect ant becoming a cultivator, and even the weakest cultivator was stronger than an average person, and consequently, enjoyed special treatnt.
Knowing that he was well and had beco a cultivator, Wei Jun was happy for him.
He might have known Ethan for barely a year, but to him, it felt as if he were a mber of the family.
When he disappeared, he went searching for him in the city, and after asking around for a few days, he eventually gave up.
He wasn't sure where he had gone or what had happened to him, but as long as he was fine, that was enough for him.
The two chatted for a while, and Ethan also learned what had happened in the last two years.
'Well, I can't say I didn't expect this,' he thought when he heard about the old Wei's daughter.
Ethan had to admit that he had hated that woman back then for how she treated him, but that was a matter of the past, and he no longer felt any resentnt or sympathy for her.
He had had his fair share of experiences, and with everything he had been through in the last almost three years, he truly didn't have the ti to think about her, nor was there any reason to.
Although back then he had thought that she was slightly above average in terms of looks compared to the average girl, after eting won like Feng Huang, Bai Yu, and even recently Yao Hua, she was no different from an ordinary person.
Although he didn't feel any sympathy for that woman, at least he could admire her for deciding to change, and it seed like she was changing for the better.
Three years ago, he would never have thought that she would start working personally in the fields of her own will, and yet here she was doing it to support herself and her father.
In the end, the old Wei, who had smiled more today than in the last two years, couldn't help but ask Ethan,
"What plans do you have for the future?
Apart from cultivation, you must have other things in mind, right?
Look at you, barely three years have passed, and yet you've already beco a real man and handso.
You must have already courted a disciple or two by now," he said, taking a sip from a cup of wine that Ethan had brought.
Seeing the old man's current appearance, Ethan almost compared him to Da Shu and for a mont thought that the two would definitely get along if they ever t.
He knew that the old man liked to drink every now and then, and decided to get him one of his own wines from his minor dinsion.
Although he wasn't a big fan of alcoholic beverages, that didn't an he had never drunk them, and with a great connoisseur like Bai Yu with him, it was hard not to have any.
Having said that, he thought about the question the old man asked and couldn't help but think for a mont before answering.
"The path of a cultivator is long, and it requires a lot of ti, but despite this, I think I've been fortunate to have had soone accompany on this path," he said calmly while taking a sip of wine himself.
The old Wei might not see it, but Bai Yu was still in her beast form, resting on Ethan's shoulders.
She had simply used her powers to hide herself, and although she had said she was going to take a nap, Ethan could feel the subtle pressure around his neck, which didn't give him a sensation of pain or suffocation, but more like a soft and warm embrace.
Wei Jun didn't say anything else, understanding that Ethan had truly changed a lot in these last years, not only in appearance but also as a person.
He made a toast, and the two talked a bit more before he said goodbye and left on his way.
The old Wei had asked if Ethan wanted to stay for dinner, but he politely declined, saying that he had so matters to attend to.
Although brief for Ethan, this small reunion was more than enough.
It could have been more than 140 years for him since he had last seen him, and although he had severed most of his mortal ties and ascended to the spiritual realm, he still kept many things in his heart, and this person, who to any other cultivator might seem like a simple farr living at the margins of the realm, was one of them.
Although he was not a generous person, or at least didn't consider himself one, he always repaid the kindness he received.
It might not seem like he had done much for Wei Jun now, but only fate knew what great gift he had given to the old man that day.
In the minor dinsion, in a place a few miles away from Ethan's herb garden.
A transparent glowing sphere was floating in the air.
Inside the transparent sphere, one could see the thin and tall figure of Mo Yan, who, after having tried everything, had already given up and remained in the sa spot without moving, giving the impression of being just a pile of old, lifeless bones.
Unfortunately for him, his prison, which had lasted several days, was about to end, but not in the way he had hoped.
Suddenly, the figures of Ethan and Bai Yu appeared in the place, standing near the sphere as they watched the poor spiritual realm demon.
He also noticed their appearance and felt a premonition that sothing unpleasant was about to happen to him.
And as if to confirm his premonition, Ethan, who had just arrived, walked towards the sphere, giving a ntal command to the three rings ford entirely of runes, rotating around the spherical barrier, and said:
"Well, why don't we have a nice chat?"
he said calmly, smiling at the demon, who found the smile anything but reassuring.
