I Have a Golden Crow-Chapter 825 - 554: Emperor Qing

After bidding farewell to the dragon, the sword, and the person, Du Yu flew away from the hilt alone.

It was a tranquil afternoon, the Central Lake District was serene, even the lake waters were without a ripple.

Looking around, there was only a black canopy boat drifting at the edge of the lake.

Du Yu pondered for a moment but flew over eventually.

As his viewing angle changed, Du Yu also saw two shadowy figures playing a game inside the boat's canopy.

As for the fisherman at the stern, Du Yu could see him clearly.

Interestingly, the fisherman was using a Celestial Treasure Race's Red Mud Fire Stove to grill plump Cold Water Lake Fish.

"Woo~"

"Woo!" Two Black Ghost Cormorants called softly, one of them even spread its black wings.

Ye Xihai laughed, adjusting the brim of his conical hat: "You two trying to trick me again, sneaking a bite when I'm not watch... Yu, Du Yu?"

"It smells so good." Du Yu's body descended lightly like a feather.

Ye Xihai's face showed respect: "Just a moment, it'll be done soon."

"I just came to say hi, I won't eat." Du Yu waved his hand with a smile.

Suddenly, Little Fen Yang's voice popped up: "Really want to eat~"

Du Yu's smile froze: "..."

This little ancestor, did it wake up from the smell?

Ye Xihai hurriedly said: "These are Cold Water Fish unique to the Cold Lake, they're delicious, give them a try."

Du Yu: "Alright."

Ye Xihai, out of habit, continued to persuade: "Please, don't be polite with me... uh, you agreed?"

Du Yu nodded: "Ah!"

Ye Xihai: "Oh oh, alright alright."

From inside the boat canopy came laughter, soon followed by a middle-aged couple emerging.

Seeing the Ye Family couple again, Du Yu clasped his hands in greeting: "Hello, Uncle and Auntie."

"Hello."

"Pleased to meet you!" The Ye Family couple beamed, with Ye Yong'en also clasping his fists, "The battle of Little Friend Du was truly an eye-opener for me."

Du Yu humbly said: "I merely had the fortune to contract a very powerful Demon Beast."

Ye Yong'en: "..."

You describe the Ancient Demon Saint like that?

A very powerful Demon Beast?

Du Yu continued: "I'm about to head back, and I came to thank Uncle and Auntie for interceding with the Cold Lake Sword on my behalf."

"Hehe." Qu Ya, Ye's mother, couldn't help but chuckle, looking at her husband.

Ye Yong'en wasn't embarrassed, and he sighed: "We underestimated Little Friend Du's strength, please don't take it amiss."

"How could I!" Du Yu responded, "It's always wise to be cautious and have insurance in place."

Ye Yong'en: "..."

So steady-minded?

"Anyway, thank you, Uncle and Auntie." Du Yu clasped his hands again, "I won't disturb you any longer, I'll be leaving now."

"Du Yu." Ye Xihai immediately handed over a skewer of grilled fish.

"Little friend, is that Demon Saint staying at the bottom of the lake?" Ye Yong'en inquired.

Du Yu nodded: "My Demon Saint friend and the Cold Lake Sword became acquainted through a clash and plans to cultivate here for a while.

Please help keep an eye on this area and don't let anyone near when the Otherworld reopens."

Du Yu wasn't worried about anything happening to Celestial Cyan Porcelain, but was concerned about someone provoking the Supreme Lord.

If Qingci were to move a dragon claw, crushing a few unwitting people, Du Yu would be hard to account for.

"Of course, of course," Ye Yong'en agreed repeatedly, "In the future, if you need any help in Xi River City, just let us know."

Has the local power spoken? 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

These past few days, the Cold Lake Sword Realm hadn't opened, yet the Ye Family remained in this lake area, showcasing their family's influence.

Du Yu immediately expressed his gratitude and, under Ye Xihai's escort, bid farewell to the Ye Family couple.

Little Fen Yang: "Grilled fish~ grilled fish!"

"I'm eating, I'm eating." Du Yu picked up the grilled fish skewered on a wooden branch and took a bite.

"Mmm." Did Little Fen Yang smack its tiny lips?

"Really nice." Du Yu stood on a slender bamboo pole, drifting downstream.

Little Fen Yang: "If only with some maple syrup, it'd be even tastier~"

Du Yu: "..."

"Woo~" The cormorant in front turned its head, longingly eyeing the grilled fish in Du Yu's hand.

"Woo!" The cormorant behind spread its wings, calling softly as well.

Ye Xihai promptly drew out a water stick, tapping the heads of the two cormorants, then smiled apologetically at Du Yu.

Compared to before, Ye Xihai spoke much less.

Du Yu could clearly sense the change in attitude.

Before, Ye Xihai's heart was full of admiration, with sincere respect for Du Yu, the leading First Disciple of the north.

Now, Ye Xihai's heart was more filled with awe.

Deep admiration and fear!

In this regard, Du Yu felt somewhat helpless.

After all, he had exposed the Supreme, even trampling over the Cold Lake Sword...

Expecting Ye Xihai to treat Du Yu as before was evidently impossible.

As they approached the Otherworld Gate, Du Yu smiled at Fisherman Ye: "Alright, we're here, you needn't see me off any further."

"Understood," Ye Xihai nodded, a bit nervously, "If you need anything, just give me a call.

By the way, remember to collect your ring from the bookshop, Brother Ling Yu has prepared it for you."

"Got it, you should head back," Du Yu patted his raincoat.

Ye Xihai didn't insist, carrying the pole and herding the two Black Ghost Cormorants as he left.

Watching the fisherman's retreating figure, Du Yu sighed helplessly: It's impossible to go back.

When Ye Xihai knocked on the car window before, his smile was so natural, it really felt like a reunion with an old friend.
