Happy Easter! Have fun egg hunting. Hope you will find the egg I hid on Volare Novels.
Ning Xuemo, â...â From the red clothed manâs words, it was possible to infer that the person who sealed him wasnât the Ancestor. âCould it be that thereâs still another ancient old master whoâs alive?â
âYou havenât heard about the Ancestor?â Ning Xuemo probed again with a question.
âWho is he? Should I have heard of him?â The man asked back.
Ning Xuemoâs mind stirred! âThis man was sealed more than 2,000 years, so he didnât know about any influential figures that appeared during that time. So this means that when that man roamed this world freely more than 2,000 years ago, there was no such character called the AncestorâŚâ
It was easy to guess from this information that the Ancestor was 2,000 years old at most. For that red clothed evildoer, the Ancestor could only be considered as part of the brilliant younger generation.
âThe Ancestor is currently the most powerful character in the continent. Every commoner from every country worships him like a deity.â Ning Xuemo summed up the information about the Ancestor.
The red clothed man didnât pay much attention to her words. His lips hooked into a smile as he said, âI didnât expect that the humans will have a cultivator in the Heaven realm⌠Interesting. When I have the time, Iâll pay him a visit and see if this younger generation can resist some of my movesâŚâ
Ning Xuemo coughed. She didnât expect that her few words just gave the Ancestor a formidable opponentâŚ
However, the Ancestor truly stood at the peak of this continent for the longest time, who knew how many years passed by without him being able to find an opponent, just like Dugu Qiubai. As they said, âThereâs only solitude when oneâs at the top.â
Her giving the Ancestor an opponent could be said to make his dull life a bit more exciting. Perhaps, it might give some meaning to his current lifeâŚ
But, what would happen if the Ancestor had difficulty handling this evildoer? This evil guy appeared gentle from the outside but was in reality a vicious and merciless scourge. Wonât he dye this world in rains of blood? Then, the sin she committed was certainly huge!
âWho could have sealed him at that time?â She didnât hear about anyone who lived longer than the Ancestor. âCould it be a hermit living in a godforsaken place?â
Ning Xuemo felt that there werenât many unknown but powerful hermits in this world. It just made her remember that time when she got acquainted with people from the Jiang Hu in her world; some love to be boastful; others were passing chivalrous heroes helping a master, while a few among them preferred to be low-key despite possessing real skill. Those people never revealed their true nature in front of people and often had an obscure or unknown reputation in the Jiang Hu. For example, the monk sweeping the floor in âDemigods and Semi-Devilsâ.
âForget it! The situation already developed to this point.â There was no use regretting her slip of tongue. âCarpe DiemâŚâ
âYour Excellency, weâve been conversing for quite some time and could be regarded as brought together by fate. May I ask you for your honorifics?â Ning Xuemo wanted to fish out his name so it will be more convenient for her to investigate his identity when she returned home.
The red clothed man raised an eyebrow. He wore a gentle smile, while spouting poisonous words, âLittle kid, do you think you are qualified to know my name?â He obviously didnât care much about a tiny and insignificant human like her.
When the conversation becomes disagreeable, saying more would only be a waste of breath. Ning Xuemo didnât speak to him again. She patted the little qilinâs horn while saying, âLittle Apple, letâs go up.â She turned around and jumped on the little qilinâs back.
âLeave behind the Blackwave Zither!â The red clothed man coldly reminded her.
âWait until we reach the surface, then I will give it back.â Ning Xuemo tightly held onto the guqin.
Although that red clothed evildoer already swore, she wouldnât feel relieved until she returned to the surface. If she gave it back to him at this moment, God knows what kind of trouble he could brew!
âLittle girl, youâre too cautious! I wish later you will not regret the decisions you made todayâŚâ The red clothed manâs smile was somewhat restrained with his arms crossed. He stepped aside from the exit tunnel. âYou want me to send you both out or are you going to do it yourself?â
