Chapter 769: Chapter 385: Reincarnation, Dream Realm_3

She seemed to just now notice the extra person beside her.

She looked him over with some confusion: "Old Li, this is...."

"My apprentice, named...."

Old Li seemed a bit dazed and turned to ask Luo Men: "What’s your name again?"

Luo Men paused, concealing the emotions in his eyes, and replied enthusiastically without his usual aloofness: "Luo Men, the Luo meaning ’all-encompassing,’ and the Men as in ’door.’ This name was given by my Master, who said it means to open a new era."

Old Li paused, stroking his chin: "Really? Am I that cultured?"

A grandma named Shi Yun nearby laughed and scolded: "I told you you’re getting senile, but you wouldn’t listen. Tell me, when did you secretly take in an apprentice? And what skills does an old fisherman like you have to teach someone? You can only catch one fish a day."

Old Li was somewhat defiant: "Who said that? Have I ever let you go hungry? If it weren’t for those old guys inviting me to play chess every day, I’d surely catch as many fish as I did when I was young."

"Hehe, you know you don’t take your work seriously, do you? I..."

Shi Yun paused mid-sentence, rolled her eyes at him: "We have guests today, so I won’t bother arguing with you. Alright, alright, you cook today and I’ll chat with Xiaoluo."

"I’ll do it, I’ll do it. Master likes this dish, let me make it."

Luo Men quickly took the basket of vegetables, his eyes inadvertently moistening. It seems he remembered, from long ago, a similarly old voice gently coaxing him, also bantering with that orderly enforcer. ℴ

But alas... mortals ultimately can’t control life and death, and a Gold’s lifespan... is still too short.

He only remembered that gentle childhood, when Master was too strict, there would always be a gentle voice disputing with Master, shielding him.

In the end, he’d see his stubborn yet persistent back, sigh repeatedly, and turn to personally make a bowl of fish soup.

Shi Yun watched Luo Men skillfully clean the fish, thought for a moment, and, for some reason, did not stop him.

Sitting not far with Old Li, smiling as she watched Luo Men, she softly asked: "Do you find this young man familiar?"

"Nonsense, he’s my apprentice, of course I find him familiar."

"Uh, tsk, you... I mean I find him familiar."

"You?" Old Li looked Shi Yun up and down and finally shook his head: "You’ve never seen him, how could he seem familiar?"

"How do you know I’ve never seen him?"

Old Li paused for a moment, then proudly raised his head: "Even though this brat hasn’t graduated yet, I’m sure I’ll train a perfect disciple to carry on my legacy."

His cloudy eyes twirled and he grinned: "Actually, when those old men invite me to play chess, many times I didn’t go, because I was teaching this kid. It was supposed to be a surprise for you, but...."

Shi Yun eyed him suspiciously: "Really?"

"Of... of course, when have I ever lied to you?"

"Old Li, do you know? When you lie, you tug at your hem and your eyes look upward."

"Ahem, nonsense, I’ve never lied, it must be your imagination."

"Haha, after a lifetime, could I still be wrong? Just say it... sigh, forget it, I find this young man very compatible. Let it slide this time, next time..."

"Hehe... there won’t be a next time..."

The two elderly voices continued to sound.

Luo Men looked at the cleaned fish and the set-up pot, a struggle in his eyes. His Master’s obsession is peace, and people living and working in peace.

It’s tough outside, but in dreams, he could live the life he’s always longed for, and his Master’s wife is still alive...

Should he really wake him up?

He’s already Tier Nine Legendary. Letting Master leave while having sweet dreams doesn’t seem so bad either.

At least, in the dream, he can live the life he’s always longed for.

Five hundred years already...

Master... is too tired...

The aroma began to waft, Luo Men tasted a spoonful of fish soup.

The taste was just as familiar, but why, was it so salty?
