Chapter 112 Su Youwei’s Destiny (1/2)

In the courtyard, Zhou Yuan vigilantly watched the gray robed old man before him. Though there were no Genesis Qi undulations from the latter's body, he clearly understood that it was because the old man's Genesis Qi had been perfectly concealed.

The gray robed old man was evidently an individual of unfathomable depths whose strength likely exceeded even the Alpha-Origin stage.

”Elder…” Zhou Yuan cupped his fists together, his expression respectful as he cast a glance at Su Youwei and said, ”May I ask what elder wants with Youwei?”

The gray robed old man smiled indifferently as he replied, ”I plan on taking her away. A place like this will only waste her talent. She should not be squandering away her time here.”

Zhou Yuan was taken aback by the old man's words. Complicated feelings soon rose in his heart as he looked towards Su Youwei. The dirty little girl he had pulled up in front of the clinic back then had now begun to reveal the radiance that belonged to her alone. Zhou Yuan had known from the very beginning that Su Youwei's talent was extraordinary.

It was only a matter of time before her dazzling radiance was revealed.

Given Su Youwei's talent, if she was born in another family and had the chance to come into contact with cultivation earlier, she would have long become a G.o.ddess that countless geniuses could only look up to.

While a prince from a tiny empire such as himself would likely be incapable of drawing even a single glance from her.

As Zhou Yuan sighed in his heart, he gave a little nod and said, ”To be viewed so highly by elder is Youwei's fortune.”

It was indeed as this gray robed elder had said. Su Youwei's talent was akin to a precious pearl left to collect dust if she stayed in the Great Zhou Empire.

A phoenix should be perched atop a chinese parasol tree and not a dead tree.

Zhou Yuan was truly happy for Su Youwei.

The gray robed elder chuckled and said, ”But she is not very willing.”

Zhou Yuan was taken aback. When he looked towards Su Youwei, she avoided his gaze, her tiny mouth pouting slightly as she said, ”I did not say that I won't.”

The gray robed elder nodded. ”But she has a condition…”

He stared at Zhou Yuan before continuing, ”She wants me to bring you along.”

Zhou Yuan let out a bitter laugh. How could he not guess by now that Su Youwei had also realised how unfathomably powerful the gray robed old man was. It would be a blessing for him if he could tag along too.

The gray robed elder smiled a little, his gaze sweeping over Zhou Yuan as he said, ”Truthfully speaking, you are also no ordinary individual. As one that once possess the sacred dragon blessing, your talent cannot possibly be too pathetic.”

”However… my teachings may not be suitable for you.”

Su Youwei instantly began to panic when she heard this. ”Why? His highness' talent is no less than my own.”

The gray robed elder's murky eyes seemed to glimmer deeply. His gaze locked onto Zhou Yuan as he slowly said, ”I can faintly feel the remains of an extremely powerful presence from his body. Hence, he has likely encountered a destiny of his own and it is inappropriate for me to interfere.”

Zhou Yuan was a little shocked inside. Could the powerful presence the old man had spoken of be master Cang Yuan? Zhou Yuan did not expect that the old man would be able to sense it even after a whole year. It seems that this elder was truly unimaginably power.

Su Youwei gritted her teeth and declared, ”If you do not bring his highness along, I won't be going either.”

The gray robed old man chuckled, pointed at Su Youwei and said, ”Little la.s.s, you truly do not realise how fortunate you are. Do you know who I am? Do you know how many geniuses in this world desire to follow me?”

Su Youwei bowed towards the old man and earnestly answered, ”I understand that it is my blessing to have obtained elder's favor, but elder was only able to meet the current me because his highness once helped me. If not for his highness, I will not be what I am now.”

Perhaps, if her grandfather had not received treatment for his illness, the orphaned little girl would have been gradually embraced by death within cold.

The gray robed old man was a little taken aback as he slowly stroked his beard.

Zhou Yuan sighed softly. He smiled at Su Youwei as he placed his hands on her soft shoulders and said in a gentle voice, ”Youwei, I know that you are very grateful to me for helping you back then. However, it was not for the sake of binding you to my side. I treat you as my best friend, so I hope that you will be able to obtain better cultivation conditions.”
