Vol.1 – Chapter 95 – Sikong old man


“Um um um…”

“Don’t cry.”

“Um um um…”

“Please stop crying.”

“Um um um…”

“I’ll take you to eat delicious food.”

“Um… What should we eat?”

“…”

In a desolate wilderness, a fair-skinned girl sat with her knees hugged, pouting and crying loudly.

Chu Liang stood by, somewhat helpless, and could only coax her repeatedly.

Earlier, in order to protect Liu Xiaoyu, he had wrapped the little girl like a dumpling and launched her away, telling her to wait for him in the same spot. However, with so many things happening afterwards, he almost forgot about her.

After flying hundreds of miles, the Qing Ye artifact ran out of true energy and fell onto this desolate wilderness. The defensive formation could no longer be sustained, so the dumpling leaves opened up.

After Liu Xiaoyu came out, she obediently waited here.

Waiting and waiting.

By the time Chu Liang slowly found her by sensing the artifact, it was already late at night. The little girl was tired and hungry from waiting, almost falling asleep.

As soon as she saw Chu Liang, her grievances immediately surged up and she cried for a long time before finally stopping.

“I’ll take you back. You can eat whatever you want.” Chu Liang immediately promised when he saw her change in attitude.

By the time he brought her back to the South Gate City, the performance had already ended. The crowd was leaving in a bustling manner. This grand event was spectacular from any angle, truly exhilarating.

The events that had happened earlier would definitely spread throughout the Yu Dynasty in a short period of time. In a sense, Xue Lingxue had to thank Chu Liang. Her performance would receive an unprecedented level of attention.

As soon as Di Nvfeng saw Liu Xiaoyu, she immediately showed a fond expression and said, “Who’s this little girl? She’s so cute…”

“Master, this is the koi fish that I mentioned before, which has transformed into a human form.” Chu Liang whispered.

“Oh, this little thing is a demon too? That’s even more interesting.” Di Nvfeng’s eyes lit up, and she hugged Liu Xiaoyu’s neck and ruffled her head.

But it was a good thing that the master liked this fish. Chu Liang had already planned that if he couldn’t find her sister, he would bring her back to Silver Sword Peak first.

On one hand, he couldn’t bear to let her fend for herself like this, and on the other hand, with the koi fish, it would greatly benefit activities such as opening boxes and cultivation.

“Um um um…” Liu Xiaoyu’s hair was messed up from being ruffled, and she pouted, “You promised to help me find my sister and take me to eat delicious food…”

“It’s all fine.” Chu Liang smiled and nodded.

At this time, everyone had returned to the Li Family Village. He first arranged for food to be prepared and then briefly explained his thoughts to his master.

After Di Nvfeng understood the little girl’s background, she immediately hugged her and said, “Come with us to Shu Mountain. I’ll help you find your sister. If we can’t find her, I’ll be your sister from now on!”

“Wow…” Chu Liang immediately said, “Master, isn’t this inappropriate?”

If Liu Xiaoyu became the master’s sister, then in terms of seniority, he would have to call her Second Aunt.

“That’s true. It’s not appropriate to leave a demon here on Shu Mountain.” Di Nvfeng pondered for a moment, “If that’s the case, I’ll take her as a junior sister. This way, she can also be considered a disciple of Shu Mountain.”

Fine.

I have to be a generation younger than her.

Liu Xiaoyu was happy to eat, and when she heard this, she immediately raised her head and smiled, “Okay, thank you, Sister Feng.”

Chu Liang’s eyebrows twitched.

Great, it’s settled.

Shu Mountain, the Isolated Peak.

This peak was located on the edge of the sea of clouds, slightly farther away from the other peaks, seeming somewhat out of place. It was named Isolated Peak because it stood alone.

On the Isolated Peak, there was a Dragon Fishing Pond. Sitting by the pond was an old man with thick white hair, wearing loose white robes. He sat by the shore, holding a long fishing rod, seemingly fishing or dozing off.

Everyone in the Shu Mountain Sect knew that Old Man Sikong had been fishing here for over a hundred years.

Among the thirty-six peak masters, he was the oldest in age and seniority, on par with the four Elders of the Four Great Guardian Peaks, and a few years older than the Sect Master of Shu Mountain.

Some of the disciples he had taken in during his early years had already become peak masters of other peaks. Nowadays, the Isolated Peak no longer accepts many disciples, only a few, inheriting his peculiar and extraordinary abilities.

Chu Liang, who grew up on Shu Mountain, actually met him for the first time.

Because he was the best at divination on Shu Mountain.

“Old Uncle Sikong, I have something to ask you.” Di Nvfeng, with two little ones in tow, casually ran to the Dragon Fishing Pond.

Everyone knew that Old Man Sikong was here, but no one dared to bother him casually. After all, he was already like an immortal on Shu Mountain.

But Di Nvfeng didn’t care about that.

It was also because she really liked Liu Xiaoyu, that she came this time to fulfill her promise of finding her sister.

Her sister’s whereabouts were unknown, but if she was determined to be near the South Gate City, using the divination method of the Confucianists might have some effect. But now that they were unsure of her whereabouts, divination and deduction became the best choice.

Old Man Sikong, in Chu Liang’s impression of the younger generation, was somewhat eccentric, but at this moment, he realized that he was a kind and approachable old man with a smiling face.

Just like the old men sitting under the big tree at the village entrance playing chess.

Sitting by the tranquil and silent silver pond, holding a fishing rod, the passing of a hundred years.

The old man smiled and looked at Di Nvfeng, then glanced at Chu Liang and Liu Xiaoyu behind her, and said, “You want to ask about this little girl?”

“No wonder they call you an immortal. You can see through things at a glance.”Asking for a favor, Di Nvfeng knew how to sweet talk and immediately praised.

“The fortune of the koi is prosperous, even if you don’t seek me, your wishes will still come true.” Sikong, the old man, shakily pulled out a turtle shell from his bosom, saying, “The person you want to see, you will meet sooner or later.”

“Don’t talk about these mysterious things, just help us take a look, where her sister is, and we will go find her.” Di Nvfeng said.

She was used to being straightforward and couldn’t stand these riddles.

“Hehe, you…” Sikong, the old man, shook his head helplessly.

Liu Xiaoyu spoke up, “Grandpa, please. Even if we can’t find my sister, I want to at least know if she is safe… I’m so worried about her.”

“Alright, alright.” Sikong, the old man, nodded with a smile.

He lifted the turtle shell, and a blue flame sprang from the tip of his right finger, burning under the shell. Golden patterns lit up on the shell, and after a few rounds, it cracked with a crunch.

Sikong, the old man, looked at the crack, pondered for a moment, and then said to Liu Xiaoyu, “Your fate is in Shu Mountain, stay here with peace of mind, there may be a chance to transform into a dragon in the future. Your sister’s fate is elsewhere, she has her own dragon gate…”

“She…” Liu Xiaoyu blinked, “Is she okay?”

“Not only is she okay, but she will also live very well. You two sisters will meet in the near future.” Sikong, the old man’s voice was calm and steady, giving people great comfort, “If you go to find her now, it will disturb her fate. Wait for the right time.”

“Ah…” Liu Xiaoyu nodded lightly, “Okay.”

Although she was a bit disappointed, hearing what the old man said, it seemed that good things would happen, so she wasn’t that worried.

He spoke in a very trustworthy manner.

After asking their questions, the three from Silver Sword Peak were about to leave. Just as Chu Liang was about to leave, he heard Sikong, the old man, ask, “Young man, what’s your name?”

“Me?” Chu Liang replied, “My name is Chu Liang.”

Sikong, the old man, looked at him deeply, his expression thoughtful, and seemed a bit puzzled. After a while, he nodded and said, “I remember, you can go now.”

Chu Liang was a bit puzzled, but he didn’t say much, turned around and followed his master.

After they had left for a long time, Sikong, the old man, was still looking in the direction they had left, his pupils slightly contracted, deep in thought.

Suddenly.

His fishing rod trembled slightly.

“Eh?”
