Chapter 1487: Celebration; Get Drunk
Bai Long quietly looked at Sun Yunzhu and said, âMaster, what is your decision?â
Sun Yunzhu said, âOld Bai, you know it⊠This is so important to my family⊠It really isâŠâ
Bai Long peacefully said, âBut it is mine. It was given to me to save my life.â
âOld Bai, you are our guard. What belongs to you belongs to us.â Sun Yunzhu said, âOld Bai, I have treated you well all these years. Remember what I did for youâŠâ
âWhat belongs to me belongs to youâŠâ
Bai Long muttered and blandly said, âWell, you are right, Master. You saved my life. If not, I wouldnât have survived⊠It is reasonable that I give this dan bead to you⊠However, if I die for thisâŠâ
Sun Yunzhu was spirited, and he gladly said, âDonât worry, Old Bai! I will try everything I can to cure you⊠But if you die, the Sun Family will set a memorial tablet for you. Even though you donât have children, you still got the Sun Family. We will take care of your tomb!â
He had no idea what that sour feeling in his heart was.
Was it frustration? Was it relaxation? Was it indifference?
The old man first talked about curing him, and then ended it with a memorial tablet and tomb.
Apparently, he was not going to really do anything to save his life.
Sun Yunzhu had promised him the same thing beforeâŠ
He made the promise a long time ago.
It was not Sun Yunzhuâs first time to know the poison in Bai Long!
He had never done anything about it at allâŠ
He kept fooling Bai Long, telling him how poor the Sun Family was, and how helpless he was when trying to find the cure. He never cared about Bai Long at all!
After all those years, Sun Yunzhu still pretended to be surprisedâŠ
He did not care about Bai Long at all!
Bai Long came up with the idea that he had never thought of before.
âHe and his stupid son always want me to die, donât they? I never show them how powerful I truly am. They treated me as a servant⊠They do pay me more than other guards. Perhaps, for them, I am just a weak cultivator who cost them more than they should pay.â
âHe is never going to find me a cure.â
âA memorial tablet and tomb⊠Thatâs just a story to fool kids.â
âWhat do I need those things for anyway? When I die, I die.â
âIs it better to be a dead man?â
Bai Long made a long sigh. He lowered his head and stared at the supreme dan bead in Sun Yunzhuâs hand.
Sun Yunzhu stepped back a little. He was worried that Bai Long might come over and get the dan bead.
âI⊠I want to survive. I donât want to spend two years to find another cure.â Bai Long said. He sounded exhausted.
Sun Yunzhu took a deep breath and said, âOld Bai, we must have a serious discussion⊠Look, I saved your life. Why would I give up on you now? It is just too much to waste if you eat it like that. There are still two years. We canâŠâ
Bai Long closed his eyes. He nodded and said, âFine. I trust you.â
âThatâs great! Good!â Sun Yunzhu was pleased. He said, âThis is huge, Old Bai! We must hold a feast for it! Letâs get some drinks! You and me, we are like brothers!â
Bai Longâs eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice, âThat sounds great!â
âLook, I am sorry⊠I know this is too much to askâŠâ Sun Yunzhu sounded sad. âOld Bai, my brotherâŠâ
âItâs ok. We should always do what needs to be prioritized.â Bai Long was calm.
He was always calm and peaceful.
Sun Yunzhu was apparently too impatient to wait. He said, âI will come back and get you the drinks soon. Old Bai, letâs both get drunk! It is such a great day!â
Bai Long nodded and said, âSure. Absolutely.â
Sun Yunzhu immediately went away.
Bai Long looked at the old man who kept holding the dan bead in his hand all the time. He finally cracked a sneering smile on his expressionless face.
âI wonder how cruel you can be. I guess this is it. They say people can lose heart.â
Bai Long painfully closed his eyes.
âI am just like a worn-out shoe to others. They have given up on me for a long time, yet I have been devoting myself to them. I am just a useless man who wastes their food, am I not?â
âI never want to be an ungrateful man⊠I never want to be that⊠Just take the Seven Returns Dan⊠Just walk away from me⊠I will accept it. I never want to get it back. I wonât⊠I wonât turn against you⊠You saved my life. You gave me my life. No matter how many times I have protected your family, I did what I should. If I die because you took the dan bead away, I wonât complain. You saved me, and now Iâll pay it back with my life.â
âSun Yunzhu, from now on, we are even. I donât owe you anything anymore.â
âPlease, donât do anything stupid.â Bai Long murmured, âSun Yunzhu⊠Donât do anything that hurts me more⊠Donât do itâŠâ
After a while, Sun Yunzhu gladly returned with a group of maids and servants. Everybody was holding a plate of food. Some were holding bottles of liquor. He must have prepared it meticulously.
âOld Bai, come! Letâs celebrate it here! Letâs get drunk!â
Sun Yunzhu was overjoyed.
