C170 old acquaintance (2/2)

With just one sentence, he released all the thoughts that he had not seen for decades and shouted towards the sky. Elder Ye also spoke with a deep voice.

They hadn't seen each other in twenty years. Who knew how many experts had died in that battle? Gauguin and Elder Ye had also lost information about each other during that battle, as they both thought that the other party had died in battle.

When they thought of that battle, even after so long, they still felt fear in their hearts. Not many people in Great Yan Dynasty knew about that battle either, but the Imperial Family and the Holy Flame Academy were aware of it. However, after that incident, no one brought it up again. Everyone believed that this had never happened. However, only those who had personally experienced the cruelty and terror of that battle, and even Nether Sect felt an unprecedented pressure at that time.

”Your strength has regressed quite a bit. However, thinking about it, it is already good that you are able to escape safely.” Feeling that the Gauguin's aura was similar to his own, Elder Ye also said.

The two of them had originally possessed Earthly Yuan Stage expert, and even in the entire Great Yan Dynasty, they were considered to be powerful existences. Back then, almost all the experts who had the qualifications to participate were experts of Earth Origin Stage. As for Three Spiritual Realms, even if they were able to enter that place, it was impossible. It was precisely because of this that the few old fellows from the Holy Flame Academy also accepted a favor from him.

If not for the few Earthly Yuan Stage expert s that he had pulled at the Holy Flame Academy at the most crucial moment, the current Holy Flame Academy would have long been lonely. After all, how could Holy Flame Academy, who had lost their Earthly Yuan Stage expert to guard the place, submit to the masses?

He had initially thought that he had buried earth for a long time, but he did not expect to meet Qin Shaojie. It had to be said that Elder Ye's recovery to the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm had a lot to do with the pills Qin Shaojie refined and breaking through to become a Rank 4 Alchemist.

It has to be said that Elder Ye's life was nearly over when he left that place.

”I have been searching for you all these years, but I have searched through almost the entire Great Yan Dynasty. It is a pity that there is still no trace of you.” Looking at his old friend who had long since passed away, Gauguin was deeply moved.

The two of them had known each other for close to a hundred years, and their relationship was even more intimate than that of brothers. In addition, the two of them did not have any wives or daughters. Thus, they were already used to each other's existence. This kind of friendship was also rare and valuable.

The most important reason why Gauguin became a Ma Gang was because he hoped to find news of Elder Ye. It was a pity that Elder Ye thought that he died after looking for Gauguin for a while. Furthermore, his injuries were too severe, making him feel that he wouldn't be able to live for long.

Unfortunately, after so many years had passed, they had originally thought that both of them had died, but now they were reunited once more.

And the reason for all these, was actually Qin Shaojie!

The two of them sat on the ground as Elder Ye took out a few bottles of wine from his storage ring. Just like that, he discussed the matters of the past twenty years with the Gauguin. In these twenty years, aside from these two years, Elder Ye had never been able to see anything happen deep in the mountains. On the other hand, Gauguin had encountered many interesting things in the Ma Gang these few years.

Old He kept talking, as if he was going to finish what he had never said in the past few years. It was as if he wanted to thoroughly understand everything that had happened in the past twenty years before he could relax.

The night time passed unknowingly as the two of them conversed. When they finished drinking, the two noticed that the first ray of sunlight had broken the night here.

”Qin Shaojie is your disciple? This young man is quite good. ”

Gauguin looked at Elder Ye. All these years he had been alone, although he had the intention to take in disciples, but unfortunately he had never met someone who was particularly suitable for him. Amongst so many of the young generation, the one he thought most highly of was Qin Shaojie.

”How am I qualified to be his teacher? Because of a promise from before, I didn't protect him well and caused him to suffer many sins.” However, if we are to talk about teachers and students, in some ways, he is even stronger than me. ”

Speaking of Qin Shaojie, Elder Ye also revealed a smile. This young man was completely out of his expectations. He just wished that he had made his move earlier. Otherwise, such a good piece of jade would have blossomed with an even better radiance!

Gauguin's evaluation of Qin Shaojie was already high enough, but he didn't think that Elder Ye's evaluation of him was even better. Sixteen years old Three Spiritual Realms was indeed considered good within the Great Yan Dynasty, and adding on his temperament and decisive killing intent, this was why Gauguin gave such an evaluation. One must know that in the entire Nether Sect, there were at least a few hundred such disciples.

Towards the words of the Gauguin, Elder Ye smiled but did not speak. If he had known that Qin Shaojie had not cultivated for more than two years, he would not have displayed such an attitude. If he had told him that the reason why he was able to become a fourth tier alchemist was because of Qin Shaojie, perhaps the Gauguin would not have evaluated Qin Shaojie in such a manner.

In short, it was not that he thought too highly of Qin Shaojie, but that Gauguin had underestimated him.

However, he's too clear of Elder Ye's character. If this young man wasn't so outstanding, then Elder Ye wouldn't have said such a thing.

”That place back then, do you think it still exists?”

Suddenly, Elder Ye's voice became serious as well. That place was his nightmare for the past twenty years and he was unwilling to mention it. This was the first time that Elder Ye had asked this in so many years.

This question also made Gauguin's expression tense up.

He naturally knew that that place was indeed a fatal attraction for cultivators, but the risks were too great. Even the Nether Sect returned empty-handed in the end.

”You still want to go in?”

He asked tentatively, but Gauguin's face was solemn, if Elder Ye really had such a thought, he must think of a way to let him go of this worry.

”No, I want Qin Shaojie to give it a try.”
