Evil of all ages

Chapter 177 Turning a Blind Eye
Seeing that his master and Di Qingtian were eating with relish, Da Bai jumped onto the offering table and started messing with the offerings.

"Give"

As if struck by a thought, Di Qingtian's displeasure with Huang Taichu vanished.

On the offering table, he picked up an apple and handed it to Huang Taichu.

"what?"

Huang Taichu looked at the apple that was handed to him, but he didn't take it right away. Di Qingtian was always polite to others, but he wouldn't be so courteous to him.

Such politeness means either they need something from him, or they have some ulterior motive.

"If conditions permit, I like to repay kindness on the spot."

"You said there's no need for formalities between us. This apple will be my way of thanking you for saving my life."

Di Qingtian said.

"You're really not being polite. Saving someone's life is a debt of gratitude that is greater than heaven. I have never seen anyone repay a life-saving debt with an apple as a thank you gift."

"But since I'm easy to talk to, I'll just treat this as a golden apple."

Huang Taichu took the apple and saw the big white dog that was ruining the offerings. He grabbed the big white dog's tail with his other hand and pulled it over.

Compared to other cats, Da Bai's fur can be incredibly tough, soft and smooth, and most importantly, it doesn't shed much.

Huang Taichu wouldn't be polite with such a useful natural tool. He took the apple and wiped it on Da Bai's body, making the apple shine.

Huang Taichu then let go of Da Bai and took a bite of the apple.

Big White was used to seeing its master wiping the apples with its cat hair and continued to ruin the offerings on the altar.

Di Qingtian glanced at the black cat, then looked away.

Li Xunhuan kept a white cat, while Huang Taichu kept a black cat, even though the cats had different fur colors and sizes.

But they both own cats, one white and one black, so they seem related no matter how you look at it.

"A Grandmaster-level expert can live for three hundred years."

"Even a Grandmaster-level expert who follows the path of health preservation can only add a few years or a dozen years to their lifespan."

"It cannot exceed the 200-year-old limit."

“My master is lucky. He only guards the central prison and does not interfere in matters outside the prison. He also does not like to compete.”

"It is for this reason that my master did not suffer from any hidden ailments due to his competitive nature when he was young, unlike other Grandmaster-level experts."

He died before he reached the age of 30.

"Although my master can live to be 180 years old, he is now 170 years old and only has ten years left to live."

"I want my master to live a little longer."

Upon hearing this, he realized that Di Qingtian indeed had something to ask of him.

“I was beaten to the point of death by Zhao Chuangshi, but I am standing here perfectly fine.”

"I had no injuries at all, and you couldn't tell that I was seriously injured and on the verge of death before."

"With such means and abilities, your Ghost King father could probably give my master a pill with ease."

"May my master live another twenty years, to the age of 200."

Di Qingtian stretched out his hand, as if asking Huang Taichu for the elixir.

"Stare~"

Huang Taichu stared at Di Qingtian's face, wondering how this man could be so shameless, asking him for things as if it were his right.

"Princess Pingyang and I will be married soon. The third day after our marriage will be the wedding day of you and my sister."

"I'll ask my friends who come to my wedding to stay for two or three more days to celebrate with you and give you a grand reception."

"Furthermore, you don't need to handle the matchmaker, the formalities of marriage, and the wedding process. I'll take care of everything for you, and I'll even give you a big house as a gift."

Di Qingtian was also thick-skinned; even when Huang Taichu stared at him with those eyes, he didn't flinch.

"I'm not even your brother-in-law yet, and you're acting like it's your right to ask for anything you want."

"After I become your brother-in-law, does that mean my things are yours to take whenever you want?"

Huang Taichu glanced at Di Qingtian and asked.

"We're practically family now, why be so strict about keeping things separate?"

Di Qingtian laughed.

"Ask my father for elixirs? Hah... I won't ask, and even if I had them, I wouldn't give them to him."

Huang Taichu casually uttered a single sentence.

Upon hearing this, Di Qingtian's smile vanished.

"As long as you give me the elixir, I can promise you that whatever you want to do in the future, whether it's to change the dynasty or something else."

"As long as you don't harm the people, I'll turn a blind eye to you."

Di Qingtian spoke frankly, "What are you talking about? My father, the Ghost King, possesses the power of ghosts and gods. I am weak, helpless, and pitiful. How could I possibly have the ability to overthrow a dynasty?"

Huang Taichu still pretended to be stupid.

“I’m telling you, if you don’t give it to me, I won’t do anything else and I’ll just follow you around all day.”

"Even if you go fishing, I'll throw stones into the water so you can't catch any fish."

Oh ho, I've been threatened.

He's pretty audacious; the last person who dared to threaten him was chopped into pieces and fed to the fish.

Unfortunately, he couldn't bear to kill Di Qingtian.

“I remember now, my father once appeared to me in a dream and told me he would give me a pill.”

"This pill can not only strengthen the body, but also extend lifespan."

When I woke up, I found a pill by my bedside.

"This is it. I'm young now and don't need this pill, so I'll give it to you."

Huang Taichu took out a small medicine bottle containing a pill from his pocket and placed it on the offering table.

"Thanks"

Di Qingtian took the small medicine bottle and put it in his pocket, not worried at all that there was anything wrong with the pill.

"Should we go out, or call them in?"

Huang Taichu asked.

"Go and call them in, and also have them prepare some blood and bandages."

"If outsiders saw me, a dying man, suddenly recovering to this extent..."

"I don't know how many people are spying on this prison; I'll have to disguise myself to get out."

Upon hearing this, Huang Taichu walked towards the outside of the prison. After taking only a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked back.

"Remember what you said."

After giving his reminder, Huang Taichu continued walking out of the prison.

Di Qingtian understood Huang Taichu's meaning; he simply wanted to turn a blind eye to him.

"I don't know if my decision was right or wrong?"

After thinking it over, Di Qingtian realized that he was loyal to the people, not the court, so he decided to take a gamble.

Before Huang Taichu had even stepped out of the prison gate, Li Feiyan and the others saw him and immediately surrounded him.

Apart from Qi Hongfei, everyone looked at Huang Taichu with worry and fear, afraid that Huang Taichu would give them an answer they didn't want.

Huang Taichu smiled at Di Luoyun, who was anxious and fearful of hearing bad news.

"He has fulfilled his mission and is already..."

Before Huang Taichu could finish speaking, the group, having heard that they had lived up to their mission, all bypassed him and rushed inside to confirm.

The same applies to Di Luoyun.

Even though she knew Huang Taichu wouldn't joke about something like this, she still wouldn't feel at ease until she saw with her own eyes that her brother had been rescued.

"I really don't know what's so good about alcohol. You drink it every day, how come you don't die?"

When Huang Taichu saw that his great hero had been abandoned here, only the leisurely drunkard Qi Hongfei and He Rongjiang remained at the scene.

He habitually retorted to Qi Hongfei, then ordered the jailer to prepare blood and bandages to be taken in.

Qi Hongfei watched his master turn and go inside, and wanted to say: What's wrong with drinking every day?
You, the fisherman, fish every day and never get tired of it, so how could he get tired of drinking?

Of course, he only dared to think such things; he would never dare to say them aloud.

Inside the prison, Elder Shi was the first to appear before Di Qingtian.

Seeing his apprentice standing there unharmed, he was stunned for a moment, then reacted and went forward to check on his apprentice's body.

Upon examination, they were perfectly healthy.

Not only did he not look like he had been seriously injured and on the verge of death, but all the hidden injuries he had sustained from martial arts training were also gone.

“good good”

Mr. Shi was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

He patted his apprentice on the shoulder and said "good" three times.

Next, Princess Pingyang arrived. When she saw Di Qingtian standing there unharmed, she saw him looking at her with a gentle smile.

Overjoyed, she wept uncontrollably. She ran over and threw herself into Di Qingtian's arms, hugging him tightly.

"You...you heartless bastard, do you know you scared me?"
