Before long, the youth stopped in front of a forest.
Changmei Zhenren looked around, saw no sign of the divine beast, and asked, “Boy, where is the divine beast?”
The youth said, “Do not be hasty, please wait here for a moment.”
They waited on the spot for over ten minutes.
“Boy, I say, are you reliable or not? Why has the divine beast not appeared yet?” Changmei Zhenren grew somewhat impatient, and said, “Little brat, this boy is obviously fooling us. Do not wait, let us go find the treasure.”
Ye Qiu glanced at the youth, and said, “I believe him.”
“You…” Changmei Zhenren said angrily, “How can you believe an outsider’s words, yet not believe this poor Taoist’s?”
“You are trying to anger me to death!”
Ye Qiu advised, “Old thing, be patient, wait a little longer.”
The youth also said, “Believe me, it will not be long before the divine beast appears.”
Changmei Zhenren said, “What if the divine beast does not appear?”
The youth’s eyes turned, and he said, “How about we make a bet?”
“If the divine beast appears within a quarter of an hour, you will become my senior brother.”
“If the divine beast does not appear within a quarter of an hour, then my life will be yours from now on. How about that?”
Changmei Zhenren said, “What do I want your life for? I will not bet.”
The youth said, “How about this, if I lose, I will give you a spiritual herb.”
Changmei Zhenren’s eyes lit up, “Is that true?”
“Absolutely true.” The youth said, “Of course, if you lose, you must become my senior brother.”
“No problem.” Changmei Zhenren agreed at once.
“I do not believe you, you must swear to heaven.” The youth said, “You just need to say, if you do not keep your promise, then your lifespan will be shortened by three hundred years.”
Changmei Zhenren looked reluctant, “This poor Taoist keeps his word, as for swearing, I think it is not necessary!”
The youth was firm, “No, you must swear.”
Changmei Zhenren said, “This poor Taoist always does what he says, rest assured, I will definitely not deceive you.”
“I understand, you dare not bet with me.” The youth mocked, “I did not expect your courage to be smaller than a mouse’s.”
Changmei Zhenren was a person who valued face, and being mocked by a child, he became angry on the spot.
“Who dares not bet!”
“It is just swearing, fine, I will swear right now.”
“I, Changmei Zhenren, hereby swear to heaven, if this poor Taoist’s words are not fulfilled, my lifespan will be shortened by three hundred years.”
After saying that, Changmei Zhenren glared at the youth, “This poor Taoist has sworn, are you satisfied now?”
“Satisfied! Satisfied!” The youth laughed, “But senior brother, I did not force you to swear, you did it voluntarily.”
Changmei Zhenren snorted coldly, “I have not lost yet, do not call me so intimately.”
The youth smiled faintly, “No matter, you are bound to lose anyway, sooner or later I will call you senior brother.”
Ye Qiu stood beside, observing secretly all along, he noticed that the youth always maintained a confident appearance while betting with Changmei Zhenren.
“Who exactly is this youth?”
“Why is he so certain that he will win?”
“Why does he want Changmei Zhenren to be his senior brother?”
Ye Qiu was very puzzled, but it seemed the youth had no ill intentions.
Time passed quietly.
In the blink of an eye, another ten minutes passed, still no sign of the divine beast.
Changmei Zhenren laughed, “Boy, you are probably going to lose this bet, later obediently give the spiritual herb to this poor Taoist…”
Before the words finished, suddenly, from inside the forest came a roar like a horse’s neigh.
“Neigh…”
The loud sound pierced the sky, deafening.
“The divine beast is here!” The youth said with a smile.
Is there really a divine beast?
Changmei Zhenren stared at the direction of the forest, about a few seconds later, a divine beast rushed out from inside.
This divine beast was only a little over a metre tall, covered in white fur, each strand sparkling and crystalline.
Its appearance was almost identical to a horse, the difference being that it had a half-foot-long single horn on its head.
“Unicorn!”
Ye Qiu blurted out.
In his previous time in the secular world, he had seen descriptions of unicorns in books, he never thought that one day he would see a living unicorn with his own eyes.
Ye Qiu was extremely shocked.
“That is correct, this is indeed a unicorn.” The youth laughed.
Lin Daniao said, “This is a unicorn cub, when it matures, it will grow wings on its back, capable of fighting saints, but compared to a qilin, it is much weaker.”
Changmei Zhenren exclaimed, “It is injured!”
Ye Qiu had already seen that the unicorn had several long wounds on its body, blood gushing out, staining the white fur red.
“It seems it encountered cultivators.” Ye Qiu said.
Whoosh!
After the unicorn rushed out from the forest, upon seeing Ye Qiu and the others, it quickly turned and rushed in another direction.
“Oh no, it is escaping, quickly capture it, do not let it run away.” After saying that, Changmei Zhenren prepared to act, unexpectedly, the youth reacted faster than him.
The youth quickly pointed a finger.
“Buzz!”
Immediately, a glowing Bagua appeared out of thin air, emitting a faint light, blocking in front of the unicorn.
The unicorn immediately stopped, its eyes blankly looking at the Bagua.
“Come here!”
The youth shouted loudly, although he was very young, this voice was full of authority.
The unicorn looked back at the youth, then, under everyone’s astonished gaze, walked towards the youth.
“Huh?” Changmei Zhenren was somewhat puzzled, and asked the youth, “How did you do that?”
The youth countered, “Want to know?”
Changmei Zhenren nodded vigorously.
The youth said, “I will not tell you.”
“Hmph~” Changmei Zhenren snorted coldly.
The youth then laughed again, “Wait until you officially become my senior brother, then I will tell you.”
The unicorn came over.
The youth pointed at Ye Qiu and said to the unicorn, “My big brother will be your master from now on, kneel down.”
Thud.
The unicorn knelt in front of Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu was also astonished, how could this youth, at such a young age, command a divine beast?
“Big brother, this divine beast is a gift to you.” The youth laughed.
“How did you do this?” Ye Qiu asked curiously.
The youth said, “Big brother, please do not take offence, it is a sect secret, forgive me for not being able to tell you.”
“Fine, I will not ask, thank you for giving me a divine beast…” Before Ye Qiu finished speaking, suddenly, from the forest, several powerful auras came, rapidly approaching this way.
“Someone is coming.”
The youth was very alert, with a point of his finger, the Bagua floating in the air suddenly disappeared.
Soon, a group of people rushed out from the forest.
A full dozen or so!
Each one was very young, moreover, they all carried long swords on their backs, with extraordinary demeanour.
Ye Qiu spotted the leader at a glance, it was his acquaintance…
The saintess of Qingyun Sword Sect, Yun Xi! Before long, the youth stopped in front of a forest.
Changmei Zhenren looked around, saw no sign of the divine beast, and asked, “Boy, where is the divine beast?”
