The man had a brown-dark outfit with a waist belt as black as night. His hair was tied up and his facial skin was wrinkled due to age.


But even so, there was no thick beard and mustache on his old face. He was an ordinary Old Grandfather in general.


"Your presence surprises me, sucks. The next time be careful while walking," Xiao Shuxiang put back the cabbage he caught on the carriage, he snorted.


"Hey, Son. You're not very polite to parents. I'm just passing by, who told you to daydream? Get away."


"Gosh, you-you"


"Young Master Xiao...!"


Xiao Shuxiang was about to call Old Grandpa in front of him when Hu Li suddenly exclaimed. The white-haired young man came to him at a very opportune time.


"What's up, Hu Li?"


"Young Master Xiao, I can't persuade him. Even Nie Shang had already offered his body as a bribe material, but Master Gao refused it without blinking."


"Aiya, why would such an offer you give her?" Xiao Shuxiang shook his head slowly. "You should have done that, Hu Li. Why Nie Shang, you're this..."


"I've also tried it Young Master, and it's a shame." Hu Li was somewhat downcast, her cheeks flushed red because during her life-this was the first time she had to offer her own pride and all that for the sake of her Master.


Hu Li's gaze began to be fixed on an old man. His forehead shriveled when he took a good look at the human who was with Xiao Shuxiang.


"You're this... Who?" Hu Li was curious, he also noticed the people who were walking towards Tian agore and there was no other human as old as the figure before him, let alone while pushing the cart.


"Sir, are you lost?" Hu Li asked the old man.


"I'm not lost at all. This food is for all those who are considered guests. You better pay more attention to your friend here, he's a brash kid."


Xiao Shuxiang gasped for a gaze from Old Bangka in front of him. He said, "What did I do to you so much that you said I was rude? Did I strangle your neck and kick you, huh? I helped you with that cabbage, Old Grandpa."


"Look, that style of talking. You dare say rudely to an old man, you brat." The Old Grandfather pointed towards Xiao Shuxiang.


Hu Li who realized his Young Master was in a bad mood started to interrupt before Xiao Shuxiang really could not control himself anymore. "Sir, please don't misunderstand me. Young Master I don't mean to behave like that, please forgive his attitude."


"What are you doing, Hu Li? Why do you have to apologize to him?" Xiao Shuxiang gave a wry expression, he turned to Old Grandpa in front of him.


Xiao Shuxiang, "Tua Bangka. How old are you that I should respect you, huh? You call me 'Child'? You don't know who I am?"


"You're still a kid. If you're a young man, you may not know how to respect older people. Hmph, this is the behavior of children today. It has a charming look, but it behaves very wildly. You think that way your mom and dad would be proud, huh?"


"You-you"


"Young Master, please calm down..." Hu Li held back Xiao Shuxiang, he rubbed his Young Master's back and gave a soft voice, "Calm yourself... Remember, you are learning to be a good person. You have to be patient, calm down... Calm down, please..."


Xiao Shuxiang was breathing slowly, this was because he was aware of the situation now. Hu Li began to look away as his Young Master calmed down.


He politely said, "It's not that Young Master I want to be disrespectful to you, but the atmosphere is indeed not good for him..."


Hu Li explained to the Old Grandfather that Xiao Shuxiang had to ascend to the Upper Cultivation Realm for the sake of his wife. He said this was important because the marriage of his Young Master was still young and it was not good to be separated like this.


"Young Master I am not calm about leaving Miss Ling in the Upper Cultivation Realm. You must understand, it is difficult for a couple to part. Moreover, there was no place that was truly safe in this world. The Upper Cultivation Realm in the habitation of strong people, did not rule out the possibility of danger in that place as great as well,"


The Old Grandfather noticed Xiao Shuxiang when he heard Hu Li's explanation. He said, "Does this Lord and his wife love each other?"


Hu Li and Xiao Shuxiang gasped. The two looked at each other for a moment before Xiao Shuxiang turned his head towards Old Bangka before him.


Xiao Shuxiang, "Grandfather... What kind of question is that? If we don't like each other, do you think we'll get married?"


"Mm.." the old man rubbed his chin and watched Xiao Shuxiang from top to bottom. "There are those who marry because of the family's insistence, because they want revenge, mutual benefit and many other reasons besides love. Don't you know that?"


"You're questioning my marriage?" Xiao Shuxiang started to get annoyed, "My relationship with the White Cat is not like that. You're this really shitty as a parent, yeah."


Xiao Shuxiang gave a bad expression, he turned his head towards Hu Li. "Why do you have to give such an explanation to this Old Bangka? He also couldn't help anything, you're infuriating Hu Li."


"Young Master Xiao..." Hu Li flinched when Xiao Shuxiang was about to step away. It was obvious that her Young Master had been holding back for a very long time, she now felt guilty.


"If I told you I could help you, would you hear me?"


!!


Hu Li was startled, while Xiao Shuxiang stopped his steps and turned back. The old man had just spoken and looked serious about it.


Hu Li, "Master? What do you mean?"


Xiao Shuxiang did not smell the scent of lies. Precisely Old Bangka was very serious to say it, he walked over and stood beside Hu Li. He said, "You sure you can do it?"


Realizing that Xiao Shuxiang's tone of voice could turn calm made the old man again rub his chin and nod slowly.


The old man asked, "What's your name?"


"Xiao Shuxiang,"


"Mh... I have a duty as one of the butlers in the Upper Cultivation Realm. Humans with weak practices were brought in to help me take care of the needs of these invited guests. So if I invite one more person, I can do it. But you have to work. I need a lawn mower."


!!


Hu Li's eyes were round to his surprise, while Xiao Shuxiang involuntarily opened his mouth. Both of them didn't hear wrong! This old man said it so clearly.


Xiao Shuxiang snorted, "You-You... Ma-you mean you want me to be the servant who plucks the grass, do you?! Oh, Oh, Oh, God."


"I'm not pressing you, you decide yourself. I can actually find someone else. No problem,"


"Wait a minute," Hu Li did not let the old man go. For him this was an opportunity for Xiao Shuxiang.


"Young Master Xiao..." Hu Li looked at his Master.


The old man also looked towards Xiao Shuxiang. He wanted to know if this young man could lower his pride and pride to become a servant or not.


Both of Xiao Shuxiang's own hands looked clenched firmly. He obviously heavily accepted it, "It's impossible. Me? His Highness this Xiao Shuxiang... Me? Ha-have to be a waitress?! Me?!"


Of course not! It should be Xiao Shuxiang's friends who sacrificed. That's their duty, not her!


Can't do. This is inconceivable! A Xiao Shuxiang, who was the Destroying Star. A figure who is now admired as a hero in the Eastern Continent. Cultivator with alchemist abilities, a prince in the Northern Continent and even an Emperor in the Elf-world-how could he be a servant?!


Xiao Shuxiang shook his head, he couldn't possibly make such a huge sacrifice. He'll lose face. It was impossible for his pride to be lowered like this.


Xiao Shuxiang massaged his forehead, "Langit, thank you for the problem. You must think that Xiao Shuxiang is amazing, haiih... You're too attentive to me,"


The old man saw how pale Xiao Shuxiang's face was. He knew that a man like youth would not be willing to humble himself to the point of being a servant. Haaah... Very unfortunate.


The old man pushed back his wagon and intended to leave when a hand was outstretched and restrained the waist of the wagon. He nodded and immediately looked.


"You... Ji-if I..." Xiao Shuxiang heavily said, "... Be a waiter. You sure can guarantee me a rise to the Upper Cultivation Realm, right?"


The old man was stunned as he had not expected Xiao Shuxiang to hold back his wagon. He nodded, "Of course. I still need one worker, though,"


"In a moment, you wait here." Xiao Shuxiang then pulled Hu Li's hand and walked some distance away from the old man. He made the old Bangka feel astonished.


"Young Master..." Hu Li was astonished as well. He was taken to a place far from the crowd, even his Master's footsteps had only stopped when only the two of them remained.


"Young Master Xiao, this is a good opportunity. You can go to the Upper Cultivation Realm with the old man's help." Hu Li actually did not know why Xiao Shuxiang had brought him to this place, but from the facial expression he looked - it was obvious that Xiao Shuxiang wanted to talk only to him.


"I know it's a good opportunity. But..." Xiao Shuxiang thought about it and again said, "It feels strange if suddenly there is an old jackfruit in this place, let alone while carrying a vegetable cart."


"Didn't that fellow earlier already say that he is one of the butlers of the Upper Cultivation Realm? No problem with his identity, Young Master. The important thing is that you can now catch up with Miss Ling."


Xiao Shuxiang exhaled and then nodded slowly. "All right, you're right. You took out Yinng xiong, some herbs, pills, spirit pearls and gold pieces for my supplies. Ah, the wine too."


Hu Li was stunned before finally nodding. He took out a coffin which contained Yinng xiong. His master's heirloom sword did indeed make this Elder Da Lin Corpse Crate a residence.


He also took out everything that Xiao Shuxiang had said earlier. Hu Li was indeed the person entrusted with keeping the Xiao Shuxiang Universal Bracelet.


"Wouldn't I give you back your Universal Bracelet, Young Master?"


"Back it back to me won't do me any good..." Xiao Shuxiang stuffed all the items Hu Li had put out into his Spatial Ring. "I can't use that heirloom as long as my power is sealed."


Xiao Shuxiang then looked at Hu Li, he now looked even more serious. "You're free to wear anything inside that Universal Bracelet because I believe you can use it wisely. But remember to never touch the blackest pearl because it is very dangerous. Take good care of my herbs and watch the six horses as well, got it?"


Hu Li nodded, "Understood. But did the Young Master not want to bring any of those horses?"


"Living things cannot be included in my Spatial Ring. Already, this is enough. I don't want to bring much stuff,"


"Young Master, you must take good care of yourself. Your anger is sometimes uncontrollable and it's scary. It's just that right now I can't be on your side. Young Master, you must try to be nice."


"Mn, I'll work it out. So as long as I'm gone, you don't laze around. We have Hu Li's mission and it's very important."


Hu Li understood his mission. Xiao Shuxiang again said that would see the surroundings of the Upper Cultivation Realm. When possible to wear the Moving Mirror, then Hu Li may be smuggled.


On the other hand, the old man carrying the wagon was still waiting for Xiao Shuxiang and Hu Li. He turned his head when he noticed the presence of the two young men he was waiting for.


"Why are you taking so long? Let's go if you're done with your business. Push this wagon,"
