Chapter 1978: First Meeting with the Third Elder

"Is this the so-called dawn? It's really a bit mysterious. Sure enough, there are many strange things in this world."

Xiao Yi sighed in his heart. At this moment, on a platform, the gray-bearded old man closed his eyes slightly, took a few deep breaths, and looked at Suzaku beside him.

Every morning, Zhuque would come to this platform to listen to Master's sermons, which became a habit of Zhuque. He also learned a lot from what Master said.

"Disciple, how much of what I just said have you remembered?"

"Half forgotten, half remembered."

Suzaku said after careful consideration, the old man with the gray beard waited here for a while, and after a few minutes, he asked again.

"What now?"

"I've already forgotten most of it."

"Oh? Not bad...how much do you remember at this moment?"

The gray-bearded old man was very mysterious. Even Suzaku couldn't figure out what the master meant. He spent most of the day explaining why he had to forget it.

Suzaku hesitated for a moment, raised his head and looked at the old man, apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Master, I have completely forgotten it now."

"That's good. Master made a mistake before, so I'll explain it to you again."

…

Now she understands why the master insisted on her forgetting. Suzaku's master is almost ninety years old this year, and he is naturally a bit old and confused.

It is not easy to live to this age and maintain such a situation. The gray-bearded old man organized his thoughts. When he was about to speak, he hesitated and said with a smile.

"It seems they are back."

"Oh? It's faster than I expected. That's it for today's sermon. I'll greet them when they come."

Suzaku said that at dawn, Suzaku would also help with some big and small things. Master is already old, so he should rest as much as possible and worry less about these things.

The master and apprentice stood at a spot on the platform. After waiting for a few minutes, they saw the figures of Qinglong and Baihu, followed closely behind by Xiao Yi and Liu Han.

"Oh... this girl Liu Han is also here. The last time I saw her was at the beginning of the year."

The green-bearded old man, also known as the third elder, smiled and said after meeting Liu Han that he had met Liu Han before and was quite impressed by Liu Han.

Qinglong and Baihu, after seeing the old man, stepped forward and bowed to the old man.

"I've met the third elder."

"Haha, excuse me. You two boys have worked hard this time."

Xiao Yi looked at the old man who appeared in front of him. He looked very old with his gray beard and white hair. He was different from himself. He was just pretending at the time, and he was not really old.

The old man was wearing a gray robe, which was a bit unusual standing here, Xiao Yi muttered here.

"Is this old man the third elder? Why do you feel like an old magician?"

"Stop talking nonsense here and hurry up and salute!"

Liu Han pushed Xiao Yi. He really didn't know what was going on in Xiao Yi's mind. At this time, he still had the heart to joke. The person standing here is the third elder of Dawn.

After being pushed by Liu Han, Xiao Yi here also took a few steps forward, stood in front of the old man, and bowed his hands.

"I've met the third elder."

"Are you that Xiao Yi?"

"Exactly!"

The third elder stood here and looked at Xiao Yi. The young man was neither humble nor silent, especially when facing him, he didn't look nervous at all, which was a bit special.

Whenever a new person comes, when standing in front of him, he will not look directly at him. The third elder smiled and said.

"I'm not some old magic stick. I'm the third elder here. You can call me like them, or you can call me by my name Wang Xuan. If you call me old magic stick again, I will be angry."

The third elder said to Xiao Yi. Suzaku on the side almost dropped his jaw. He had never seen anyone dare to call the third elder that way. Xiao Yi was also the first one. He broke the record as soon as he came.

"Ahem, slip of the tongue. It was definitely a slip of the tongue before. I am considered a junior here. How can a junior directly call the elder by his name? From now on, I will also call the third elder."

"You know some rules, kid. Otherwise, I'll leave you here and clean here for a month."

Fortunately, Xiao Yi changed his tune a little early, but the third elder was not a narrow-minded person. He was just called "Old God Stick", and then the third elder said.

"You and Liu Han did a good job on this mission. I originally asked Qinglong Baihu to make the third-hand arrangements, but it seems redundant here."

"The third elder has given me the award. I am lucky this time and successfully completed the task."

"The credit belongs to you. There is no need to be humble here. I also want to thank you here for saving Zhang Feng and the others in time, otherwise they would really be in danger this time."

If Xiao Yi hadn't taken action in time, those people would have definitely found Zhang Feng's whereabouts, and there would have been a fierce battle between the two sides.

It goes without saying what the final result was. Zhang Feng was already injured and his partner lost his fighting ability. Xiao Yi sighed.

"As long as everyone is safe and sound, there is no need to thank you. I did what I was supposed to do."

"It's rare for a young man not to seek fame and fortune. Okay, Zhuque, you settle them down. I'll go check on the situation over there."

The third elder handed Xiao Yi and Liu Han to Zhuque to deal with. He had other things to deal with, so he didn't stay here.

Qinglong and Baihu needed to explain the mission clearly, so they left first. Only Xiao Yi and Liu Han were left here. Zhuque looked at Xiao Yi now. The master had said before that Xiao Yi had hidden many things.

She wanted to see what Xiao Yi had hidden and what was so outstanding about him that he could get such a high evaluation from the master. In the end, she couldn't see anything. Xiao Yi said with wide eyes.

"What are you looking for? Is there a word on my face?"

Xiao Yi asked curiously. Zhuque kept staring at him, like a blind date, which made Xiao Yi a little embarrassed. He couldn't pick his nose when his nose itched.

"Sure enough, I found the right person for this mission. You successfully completed the mission and captured Wood. I underestimated you before. If I had listened to you earlier, Zhang Feng would not have failed."
