Chapter 6906 Yan Li and Green Old Sixth’s Origin
As everyone was departing from the Wine God Palace, Yan Li woke up. His final memory was of them gathered before the Wine God’s statue.
He was confused to find that everyone was getting ready to go as soon as he woke up.
“Boss, are we heading out now?” Yan Li asked.
The green parrot eyed Yan Li from Long Chen’s shoulder and asked, “Long Chen, you’re willing to take such a person as a little brother? You must be extremely desperate!”
After all, compared to the Dragonblood warriors, Yan Li was as weak as a chicken. Green Old Sixth thought that only someone of their caliber could call Long Chen “Boss.”
“Eh? When did a green bird get here?” Yan Li asked when he saw the bird on Long Chen’s shoulder.
“Shut your ass up! You’re the green bird! All of your family members are green birds! Call me Old Sixth!”
In truth, Green Old Sixth was quite displeased at being captured by Long Chen, so it cast its rage out on Yan Li.
Long Chen lightly said, “Don’t look down on Yan Li. Your item was originally in his hands. I wanted to buy it, but he refused to sell it. In the end, he gave it to me, and so I had no choice but to give him some good fortune and treat him as a little brother.”
Hearing that the stone had been in Yan Li’s hands, Green Old Sixth became even more disappointed.
It cursed, “Little fellow, not only are you weak, but your brain isn’t that sharp either. To think you would give away Old Sixth’s treasure for free... You fool, if I had found you first, I would have granted you three wishes at least!”
Long Chen glanced at the evil parrot disdainfully.
“Stop bragging!”
“How is it bragging? Old Sixth is being serious!”
“Alright, you grant me three wishes, and I’ll give you the stone!”
Green Old Sixth instantly perked up and said, “Well, tell me first. If they’re too hard, I’m not going to do it.”
Long Chen raised his finger.
“First, I want a pile of shit too big to eat.”
Xin Yu and the others were speechless. How could Long Chen say something so disgusting?
Green Old Sixth asked, “And the second?”
“Second, I want a lake of piss too vast to drink.”
“And the last?”
“Third, I want you to finish eating and drinking everything before an incense stick burns out!”
“Fuck you, you conman!”
The three wishes were impossible to grant. Chi Yutong and Xin Yu burst out laughing, but the Wine God Palace disciples tried hard not to laugh so they wouldn’t seem rude.
Everyone from the Wine God Palace was very humble and courteous. They rarely joked or laughed, so they couldn’t handle such a joke.
“It’s just a joke, so don’t take it so seriously. Yan Li, greet Old Sixth. This fellow is incredible, so you’re not losing out by calling him Old Sixth,” said Long Chen.
“Yan Li greets Old Sixth! Yan Li truly is mediocre and foolish. I hope to receive Old Sixth’s pointers in the future!” Yan Li exclaimed, bowing to the parrot.
This left Green Old Sixth with no way to let out his anger. After all, it was hard to insult someone who was being so respectful.
It suddenly asked, “Wait, you’re called Yan Li? The Yan surname... who is Yan Hetian to you?”
“That is my ancestor, the founder of the Blazing Soul Gate! Do you know him?” Yan Li replied, shocked.
“I remember him. That Yan Hetian had some karma with me, so I think I’ve given him some pointers... But I don’t recall exactly how. No wonder you had my item. It seems karma’s at work...” Green Old Sixth murmured to itself, trying to recall its memories.
After pondering for a bit, it cursed again, “You foolish idiot, you had that much karma with me and a priceless treasure, but you just gave them away! Ah, you really piss me off!”
Green Old Sixth started cursing loudly, spraying spit everywhere, but Yan Li stood still and didn’t dare move.
Yan Li knew better than to keep arguing. If this parrot was connected to his ancestor, it had to be something special.
When the parrot finished cursing, Yan Li finally said, “Old Sixth, please calm down. Boss didn’t trick it out of me; I gave it to him. Boss has also treated me well. Not only did he give me priceless treasures, but he guided my cultivation and allowed me to avenge my family. You also said that I am mediocre and unqualified to follow him, but Boss still didn’t abandon me!”
“You... you...!” The parrot wanted to slap its own face for contradicting itself. “You little brat, how dare you argue with me?! If Old Sixth says you’re wrong, then you’re wrong!”
In a surprisingly stubborn tone, Yan Li replied, “I don’t feel like I was wrong. I would do the same thing all over again!”
“Fuck, I really will slap you!” raged Green Old Sixth.
“Hey, that’s my little brother you are talking to. Give me some face. Considering your status, are you planning to have Yan Li offer the stone back to you? With your illustrious status, you wouldn’t do something like that, right?” interrupted Long Chen.
The green parrot fell silent. It had definitely thought of that.
“Tch, who do you think Old Sixth is? How can I take back something he has given away?”
Then, Green Old Sixth turned to Yan Li and said, “Little fellow, your ancestor learned from me, so you can be considered half a titular disciple of mine. But if you’re this fragile, you’ll shame Old Sixth. Don’t worry, I won’t let you stay average! I’ll teach you!”
Yan Li should have been overjoyed to hear that, but for some reason, a chill ran down his spine. Somehow, he felt that this would not be so easy.
“Old Sixth, how do you know Yan Li’s ancestor?” asked Long Chen.
“Back then, I instructed his ancestor to stea—uh, take something. Since this child is decent, I’ll give him some pointers. That’s all,” said Green Old Sixth.
No wonder the sweeping elder had said that Green Old Sixth was no good bird. Since ancient times, this guy has been unreliable. It was no surprise the bird never got angry when Long Chen quibbled. At the very least, Long Chen was not worse than it.
Suddenly, Green Old Sixth flew onto Yan Li’s head and slapped him with its wing.
“Hey, who said that you could slack off?” asked Green Old Sixth.
“Old Sixth, I’m not slacking!”
Yan Li couldn’t even dodge.
“You dare to argue?! If you haven’t been slacking, how could you be so weak!?” the evil parrot shouted and struck him once more.
Long Chen sighed in relief. If Yan Li could receive this fellow’s pointers, that would be a heaven-defying opportunity.
They left the seventy-two cities. Using various modes of transportation, they arrived at a lush landscape that resembled an endless tea garden.
