In the morning,
When the sun was about to rise, Cao Cao and the remaining servants looked strangely at Xie Lige, who was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the cliff and practicing his breathing method. Most people would think that he was crazy when they did this. However, Xie Lige's identity this time came with an immortal aura.
Even if he did such an action that did not match his identity, there was still a deep meaning in their eyes.
The group of Cao family members watched the show from the side until the sun completely appeared.
Xie Lige opened his eyes after he had stopped meditating.
His white hair hung behind him, and silver jewelry was faintly visible in his hair.
A horsetail whisk hung behind him.
He stood up and looked calmly at Cao Cao and the others who surrounded him.
After a while,
Cao Cao could not hold on any longer.
There was a slight smile on his lips.
He said goodbye.
The reason was that the snow had sealed the mountain today, and he had not returned all night.
He was afraid that everyone in the family would miss him.
Only then did he resign.
Xie Lige nodded in agreement.
He also pointed out the way down the mountain for them.
Then, he stood quietly on the spot and watched the group of people disappear into the forest.
Until the last person disappeared.
The system was unwilling to be left out. "Host, are you going to let Cao Cao leave just like that?
This is the famous founding monarch of the Wei Kingdom of the Three Kingdoms. "
"Shut up, you're too noisy." Xie Lige said coldly.
He turned around and left the cliff.
Along the way,
The system kept raising the doubts in its heart, including the fact that Xie Lige's target was Cao Cao, but he did not directly ask to go down the mountain with him.
Cao Cao looked as if he had been completely conquered by the host. The system believed that it would not take more than three seconds for him to make this request.
This future overlord would definitely be willing to do it.
In this regard,
Xie Lige just ignored it.
In the end, the system was so annoyed that it made him speak.
"Do you know what three visits to the thatched cottage are?" Xie Lige's heart was filled with impatience.
His tone was still cold and indifferent, as if it was ice that refreshed the heart.
The system nodded blankly. "I know!"
"Then do you understand?" Xie Lige asked.
The system shook its head.
He didn't understand.
An indescribable emotion flashed through Xie Lige's eyes. He did not expect the System that he had always liked to have such a low IQ.
"These kinds of geniuses who emerged from troubled times generally have a problem," Xie Lige began to explain slowly.
The System asked, "What's wrong?"
"That means they have a lot of faith in their own judgment."
Xie Lige's tone carried a hint of a smile. His performance this time was considered passable. "Cao Cao has always been very confident in his ability to identify talents, especially those that he personally discovered. Furthermore, ancient people are always curious about such mystical things. Just because he left this time doesn't mean that he won't come back again."
Only then did the System come to a realization.
"Are you saying that he will come back?"
The System's tone was full of surprise. In fact, it believed some of Xie Lige's words.
Xie Lige said lightly, "It's just three visits."
In fact, Xie Lige's guess was not wrong.
Less than half a month after the Cao family left the mountain, Cao Cao brought up the mountain some Astragalus Ginseng that was rumored to be helpful for immortal cultivation. In short, as long as it was an elixir that was refined for immortal cultivation, carts after carts of it were brought up the mountain.
At this point, the System was full of admiration for its host's divine foresight.
No wonder he was the man who had once toyed with the Emperor in the palm of his hand.
Xie Lige turned a blind eye to the carts of precious herbs. He was still indifferent, as if he was about to become an immortal. His heart was as calm as still water. After all, he did not know how to refine elixirs. Giving him these herbs was a waste of heavenly resources. He might even complain that they were taking up space.
Cao Cao was very satisfied with Xie Lige's indifferent reaction. The immortals in the stories were so aloof. He was even more certain that his previous guess was that Xie Lige was an old monster from an unknown era.
Maybe he was left behind from the era of necromancers in the Qin dynasty.
Cao Cao thought with a smile.
Then, he waited for Xie Lige's rejection.
"I am an outsider. I have no need for these herbs."
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment. Then, he put away the herbs with a calm expression. He left with the air of a disciple of an aristocratic family. The servants following behind him brought the herbs down the mountain.
His back disappeared into the woods.
System: Host is mighty!
The System was also moved to tears. It had assisted so many hosts, but this was the first time it had seen such an elegant and refined pretentious person. The person who was being pretentious was actually willing to endure it.
After a few more days, Cao Cao came up again.
This time, he still brought several carts of things. They were densely packed with books. There were also more servants than ever. After all, books were very precious in this era. These books were about the necromancers of the previous dynasty. Cao Cao had sent people to collect these books. Some of these books were very rare. He had only been able to collect them with the help of his family.
Xie Lige glanced at the carts and immediately understood the contents of the books.
He looked calmly at Cao Cao, who was smiling in front of him.
"Mister, how have you been? These are some books about cultivation. If you have any requests, you can tell me." Cao Cao's smile didn't change.
Xie Lige refused.
Cao Cao smiled as usual. After all, this was within his expectations.
After all, in his opinion, this otherworldly expert had no desires. He lived in seclusion deep in the mountains. His cultivation was almost on the verge of becoming an immortal. It was normal for him to have no interest in these mortal things.
However, he still brought up his purpose.
He invited this big shot to go down the mountain. A series of words left and right made the System confused. It didn't understand until the end. The general meaning was that this immortal had been cultivating in the mountains for so long. It was so cold and desolate. Why don't you go down the mountain and have some fun? My family is very rich and powerful. If you follow me, you will live a good life and have a group of people supporting you.
If it wasn't for his humble tone, the System would have thought that he was a salesman.
Unexpectedly, Xie Lige agreed.
System: So you are this kind of host.
Cao Cao was also very shocked. He didn't understand how his words had moved this big shot. Thinking of the vulgarity of his words, his expression became a bit strange.
Xie Lige glanced at his expression and said calmly, "I went down the mountain because someone asked me to find the son of an old friend and protect him."
Cao Cao was relieved and a smile appeared on his face.
At the same time, he secretly made up his mind to send people to find out more about the son of an old friend. No matter what, he had to keep this expert by his side.
Yes.
Very ambitious.
