Chapter 147: The Double D
“Wow, so this is the Elder Pavilion!” Standing in front of the large open pavilion, Qing Yi and Chu Yang both felt amazed as they saw the elders inside sitting together in small groups chatting with each other while enjoying the view of a small artificial lake located just besides the Elder Pavilion.
The people inside the Elder Pavilion were not only elders, but a few disciples could also be seen talking with a few elders as a group of servants from the servant quarters made their way around the large pavilion with different kinds of refreshments for the elders.
“Let’s go and find the grandpa Song that the young girl mentioned normally came with her medicine, we should ask over at the elders over there.” Pointing in the direction of a few elders sitting at the edge of the pavilion stretching out over the water of the artificial lake, Chu Yang entered the Elder Pavilion.
Qing Yi did not wait around for too long as she made her way inside as well.
“Hello, can I help you with anything? Are you perhaps looking for an elder…?” Just as Qing Yi and Chu Yang made their way inside of the pavilion, a servant carrying a tea set came over and asked them with a kind smile.
“Ah yes, we are looking for someone called gra- Elder Song… Do you perhaps know if he is here?” About to call Elder Song grandpa Song just like the young girl had called him, Qing Yi quickly corrected herself.
“Elder Song… I don’t know, but you can try and ask around over there. When he comes, he mostly spends his time together with a few other elders playing chess or writing different kinds of techniques for the disciples under him while enjoying a good cup of tea.” Smiling a bit upon talking about the last part, the servant was clearly quite familiar with this Elder Song, it seemed like he really did visit the Elder Pavilion quite a lot…
Walking in the direction that the servant had pointed them in, Qing Yi and Chu Yang soon made their way over to the place that they had seen a little before entering the Elder Pavilion.
Even without the servants help, they would most likely have made their way over to the chess playing elders.
“Hm? Are you two looking for someone?” One of the elders sitting on the side observing two of his friends fully absorb in a game of chess discovered Qing Yi and Chu Yang coming over.
“Yes, we are looking for someone called Elder Song, do you perhaps know if he is here?” Taking the lead, Chu Yang stepped out and asked before Qing Yi managed to say anything.
“Old Song? Hm, he has not shown up today due to the earlier turmoil that the Vice Sect Master caused, I think Old Double D knowns where he is. You can try and ask him, he is just over there.” Saying this, the elder pointed over at another elder who was sitting a few meters away from them.
“Who are you calling Old Double D!” The elder in question rose up from his position and his splendid body swayed in the wind, causing both Qing Yi and Chu Yang to look away.
No wonder he did not like that name, his body size was quite massive compared to normal people…
But how come he was so big when he was a cultivator…? Normally cultivators were able to control the direction that their body grew in and seeing such a ‘big’ cultivator could be considered a quite rare thing.
Almost like finding a rare animal, both Qing Yi and Chu Yang could not help but look at the elder as he made his way over.
It was only at this moment that both of them realized how truly massive this elder was!
“Who are these two brats!?” Just as he was about to verbally attack the elder that had greeted Qing Yi and Chu Yang, the massive elder saw both of them staring at him like a rare animal of sorts.
“These two are looking for Old Song, don’t you know where he is Old Double D~” Informing the massive elder, the other elder smiled a bit as he teased his friend.
“I swear, if you call me that one more time-”
“Haha, no need to be like that, you wanted people to call you the great demon devourer in the first place! All we are doing is shortening the name a bit, so it is easier for us old ones to remember!” Another elder laughed as he called out from the side, causing the few nearby elders to laugh alongside him.
“Elder Demon Devourer do you perhaps know where Elder Song is?” Seeing the mood of the Elder Demon Devourer becoming worse, Qing Yi quickly jumped out and asked before his mood became any worse.
“Hmph? Why are you brats looking for Old Song?” Clearly not in a good mood after being annoyed by his friends, Elder Demon Devourer snorted angrily at both of them before asking.
“W-we are looking for him because he did not deliver the medicine-”
“What!? He did not deliver the little missy’s medicine?! That old bastard! Come with me, we are going to beat that old idiot up!” Not even getting the chance to explain who it was that sent them over, Elder Demon Devourer already seemed to know what they were talking about as he angrily started cursing Elder Song before marching out of the Elder Pavilion.
Qing Yi and Chu Yang both looked at each other a bit confused at the sudden development, but still decided to follow after Elder Demon Devourer.
…
“Hm? Why do I feel like something bad is going to happen to me?” Elder Song who was currently in the process of finding a place for Shu Yao to stay suddenly felt a chill go down his spine as he began to look around himself to find the source.
“Is something wrong?” Raising an eyebrow upon seeing Elder Song suddenly look around himself with a slightly anxious look on his face, Shu Yao felt that something might have happened.
“Ah, its nothing. Maybe I’m just overthinking a few things, we will reach the location soon.” Brushing his earlier feeling aside, Elder Song signalled for Shu Yao to move ahead as both of them entered a beautiful dwelling with everything a cultivator would need for cultivating in peace.
