Qi Qingyao’s eyes were suddenly filled with caution as she asked, “Follow you? To do what?”
The old man thought about it for a while and finally replied, “I don’t know.” He was being truthful.
Qi Qingyao rolled her eyes at him. “So you want me to follow you for a reason you don’t even know of yet. Are you toying with me?”
The old man scratched his head, looking slightly confused himself. “I feel like fate has brought us together, so I think you should follow me and help me with my cultivation.”
“Help with your cultivation???” Qi Qingyao’s jaw almost dropped to the floor. She had seen that particular phrase in a lot of novels during her past life. If the woman agreed to help the man, she would instead be sucked dry of her essential energy. Damn! She retorted, “You shameless old man, how dare you say something like that! How outrageous!”
The old man was very surprised at her outburst but soon realized what she thought he had meant, so he quickly explained himself. “You’re not going to cultivate with me, you’re going to serve me while I cultivate. You know, watering the flowers, planting vegetables, chatting with me, all of that.” His instinct told him that fate had brought them together at this very moment.
Every single cultivator beneath the level of grand master dreamed of breaking the ninth rank and becoming a grand master. However, the few grand masters in the Mainland thought about it differently.
Being a grand master was only the beginning of the path of cultivation for them.
Only by being a grand master would a cultivator be able to feel the aura of both Heaven and Earth, and also be able to… touch certain things.
All seven grand masters were currently searching for the key to break through their current state. They all wondered what it would be like to go beyond the level of grand master.
However, no one knew what the ‘key’ really was.
Legend had it that there were five levels to being a grand master. Breaking through all of them would all the grand master to ascend to the next realm.
The grand masters had broken through the second and third levels, and they were already considered geniuses for it. It was… extremely tough to go any further than that.
Something was standing between them and the aura of Heaven and Earth. It could be something as big as a mountain, or something as thin as satin.
They felt like they could break through it, but it seemed to escape their grasp every time.
It was a mysterious realm indeed.
That was the reason grand masters all over were searching for their fated partners. Legend had it that these partners were special objects or people. For example, the white cat of the Lu Family was apparently Lu Yan’s fated object. The cat was a special wealth-generating cat, perfect for Lu Yan’s destiny.
Certain fated people could also help grand masters ascend to new levels during cultivation.
However, all of these things were easier said than done. Finding a fated partner was harder than anything else in the world. It was like finding a needle in a haystack!
This man was one of the seven grand masters.
One of the wonders of the Mainland.
The old man was not sure if the lady in front of him was his fated partner or not, but he could not have cared less either way. The aura around her made him feel at ease, and the way she talked was full of gusto.
An interesting individual, indeed.
Perhaps some of the things she would say to him might just help him ascend!
Qi Qingyao pouted and retorted, “You’re crazy!”
The old man quickly walked forward and said, “If you win, I will fulfill any wish of yours.”
Qi Qingyao mercilessly tore through his lies. “Do you even know what I intend to do? Talking about fulfilling my wish…”
The old man grinned as he stroked his chin. “My name is Gong Sunshe, I’m from Cangjing Lake. It seems like I can fulfill your wish after all.”
Qi Qingyao answered expressionlessly, “Gong Sunshe? I’ve never heard of that name.”
The old man, “…”
Never heard of his name?!!
How many people were there in the world who did not know the names of the seven grand masters?
Could she be a caveman…?
