C56 (2/2)
”God's blessing, don't just stand there. Sit down and slowly talk!”
Perhaps it was because he had been standing for too long, or perhaps he still had a lot to say, or perhaps it was because it was too cold.
”Good!” My legs are numb from standing! ”
He stood there for a long time without moving. The sky was cold and the blood circulation was slow. His legs had long since become numb. If it weren't for the fact that his Senior Brother had been standing for so long, he would have already sat down and roasted himself.
Fu Yun sat down next to the sleeping Little Dan and faced the bonfire. He sat down cross-legged on his own, facing Little Dan and Heaven's Gift. After sitting down, he continued speaking.
”Heaven's Gift, there is one thing that you must firmly remember. No matter where, when, or why, you cannot cry.”
Cry, do not encounter sorrow, who is willing to cry!
If others could cry, why couldn't he cry?
No matter what other people thought, at least, that was what Providence thought.
”Don't worry, old man, I won't cry, I don't want my grandparents to be sad for me!”
Alright, let's just treat it as having a granny. Since he doesn't know anything, isn't he blissful? Since the heavens have misunderstood, Fuyun didn't say anything more.
”En, with how filial you are, your grandparents will definitely be very happy!”
Was he filial?
Ten years, he hadn't gone back to sweep up the graves of the two elders. Thinking of his grandparents' dying wish, he still hadn't found his name. How could he say that he was filial and filial?
His grandparent's greatest wish was that he would be able to find his family and not be alone. Although he couldn't find his real family in these ten years, with his senior brother and Little Dan accompanying him, he wouldn't be alone for the next ten years.
After ten years of being together, his Senior Brother was like a relative. His grandparents' last wishes were only half completed, and now they had to part with their loved ones for another ten years. If they knew, they would definitely feel sad for him.
”Smelly old man, if you want to leave me, grandma and grandpa won't be happy.”
Why did it come back to the topic of separation? It seemed like he really shouldn't bring up the topic of Tian Ci's grandparents. Fu Yun also had a moment of miscalculation, so he deliberately coughed to cover up his embarrassment.
”Cough, cough!”
There was one more thing that he had yet to explain. He couldn't just continue to dwell on this topic. He glanced at Divine Gift and had to change the topic.
”Heaven's Gift, you must be thirteen years old this year!”
When he was three years old, his senior took him away and interacted with him for ten years. Counting it, he was thirteen years old.
”Smelly old man, didn't you know?”
”Heaven can destroy the ancient, and the future can be predicted.” Fu Yun dared to call himself an immortal master, so he naturally knew how old Heaven's Gift was this year. He also knew when Heaven's Gift was actually born.
”Haha, of course I know about this old man, but others don't!”
Now that they were far away from Sun Welcoming City, other than Fu Yun and Tian Ci, no one else knew the exact age of Tian Ci.
”Why do you want others to know about it?”
In the view of Tian Ci, his age was originally a personal matter that did not concern others. There was absolutely no need to tell others about it.
In fact, what he didn't know was that when one's age didn't need to be known, no one would care. When one needed to be known, that was just a gate.
He was used to following his Senior Brother alone, so he didn't know the importance of age in the eyes of the cultivators in the cultivation world.
”Right, you just cannot let others know your true age!”
Once he entered the cultivation world, he would be forced to hide his age from others. That was impossible; Fu Yun didn't want Tian Long to conceal his age, but rather didn't want him to reveal his true age.
”Geezer, why?”
”Why can't you tell others my age?”
As far as Tian Ci was concerned, telling others one's age wouldn't even cause one to lose a piece or two. Why couldn't he tell others? Why did his senior brother speak in such a serious manner? He really didn't understand.
”You can't reveal your destiny, so don't ask too much. The time has come, you'll understand!”
For some matters, the timing wasn't right yet. Saying it out loud would only add to one's worries. It would be better to let nature take its course. When the time came, the truth would naturally be revealed.
”Stinking old man, always like this!”
Whenever he encountered a critical problem, Senior Brother would say half of what he wanted to say, and then use this opportunity to lie to him. As Senior Brother was unwilling to say it, other than despising and complaining, there was nothing Senior Brother could do about it.
”Haha …”
Looking at the extremely depressed Heaven's Gift, Fu Yun stroked his beard and laughed heartily, completely building his happiness on the Heaven's Gift's depression.
”From your appearance, mortals will definitely think that you have reached adulthood. Cultivators won't only look at your appearance, but also judge your age based on your skeletal age.”
Appearance was often deceptive. Some people looked anxious, such as Heaven's Gift. Some people had a child's face. If a mortal wanted to know a person's age, they would have to ask the person themselves, so they could only make wild guesses.
When a low-level cultivator meets someone whose age doesn't match his, he can only ask the person himself and only guess. When a high-level cultivator has a divine sense scan, they can directly see a person's bones. If they observe the bones, they can only guess how old that person is.
”Senior Apprentice Brother, what's skeletal age?”
This was the first time he had heard his senior talk about skeletal age. He had always been curious about new things, and he needed to get to the bottom of this.
”Bone age is the age of the bones. Cultivators can use their spiritual sense to scan the bones and a specific image will appear. Based on the image, one can determine the age.”
”Oh, so that's the case. Old man, what is Divine Sense?”
He really shouldn't explain himself. Just as he finished explaining the age of the bones, Tian Ci immediately became interested in the spiritual sense.
