695 In the Fifth Manor (2/2)
”Look carefully!” Qing Feng wanted to say some more but was cut off by the middle-aged Taoist. He could only stand there and watch the whole fight without saying a thing. After the Bloody-robed Lord of Heaven left, Zhou Bao appeared and left too.
”How was it?!”
Seeing Zhou Bao's battle scene, Qing Feng furrowed his eyebrows slightly. ”It is a very violent style of fighting!”
”Don't you feel that he's like another person?!”
”Indeed, especially if he has a pole!” Qing Feng laughed, ”Old Master, did you really call me here just to look at him?!”
”Not to look at him, but the whole fighting scene. What do you think?!” The middle-aged man smiled as he pointed to the scene. ”This bloody-robed man is a helper hired by the Fairy Pool Hunter. He is also the predicted number one thug in the Heaven Realm World according to the Fairy Pool Hunter's plan. What do you think of him?!”
”No, this person is too confident, too full of himself, and is extremely under-estimating his opponent!” Qing Feng shooked his head, ”He thinks that the force of the ancestral star is enough to defeat Zhou Bao, but he does not know that Zhou Bao is familiar with the Great Way of Heavens and Realms. Hence, the hollow maze does not pose any difficulty to him at all, he is only playing around with his opponent!”
”Not bad, this Zhou Bao is indeed a rare individual!” The middle-aged Taoist nodded, ”He is much stronger than that betrayer! Also, he even has a Supreme Fairy Weapon and owns the Azure Big World! He is a Controller-!”
”But that Azure Big World-!”
”Humans can plan but fate is still the one that makes things happen. Whether or not the Azure Heavens can achieve big things depend not on Zhou Bao, but on fate! This applies to Zhou Bao too, his success tomorrow will depend on heaven's wishes!” The middle-aged Taoist smiled, ”Right now, the heaven's wishes are unclear, we can't see anything. I called you here to ask you to take note of this young man. Perhaps, he will become a key character in helping you guys achieve enlightenment in the future!”
”He-!”
After Qing Feng heard his words, he was taken aback. He pointed towards Zhou Bao's image and asked, ”Old Master, you're saying -!”
”This is just what I feel. The Way of Heaven has yet to show itself. If fate is not smooth, then even I cannot make an educated guess. Like what I just said, this is just a feeling!” Speaking of which, he smiled, ”I have 48 disciples. Till today, only you and Ming Yue have not become Earthly Immortals yet!”
”I am stupid, I hope that Old Master will punish me!” Qing Feng heard his words and immediately knelt down.
”What's there to punish? If I bring you guys outside, you can already have your disciples, what's the point of following me!” The middle-aged Taoist sighed, ”There is only the stupid oath I made back then, requesting that all my disciples have to become Earthly Immortals before they can leave the Fifth Manor. This made you guys suffer so much!”
Qing Feng continued to kneel silently, not daring to answer him.
”Forget it, forget it, there is no need to bring this up again. No matter what, you two have already earned your Immortal Karmic Rank. Although the Earthly Immortal is still a far-away goal, it is not so far as compared to the past. Go!”
”Yes, Old Master!” Qing Feng dared not say anything else and left the quiet room silently. However, the words of the middle-aged Taoist deeply affected his mind.
Perhaps, he will become a key character in helping you guys achieve enlightenment in the future!
These words hit him hard.
Although the Old Master continued by talking about the Way of Heaven not showing itself and that the fate was not smooth, these were all his small inferences. Given Old Master's status, for all these years, were his inferences ever wrong?
No, not even once. Since Old Master said that Zhou Bao was a key character in helping him and Ming Yue become Earthly Immortals, then this should most likely be the case. That was to say, Zhou Bao was an indispensable character now.
”Maybe I should help him behind the scenes!” He thought about it and left the house. Afterward, he copied a big broom in front of the house and walked out.
”Qing Feng, what did Old Master call you for?!”
”What else other than to talk about the Fate Creator and us becoming Earthly Immortals!” Qing Feng used to not keep anything from Ming Yue, so he told her everything the middle-aged Taoist talked to him about.
”Did Old Master really say so?!”
”Of course, would I ever lie to you about something like this?!”
”Then, is this Zhou Bao that crucial to us?!”
”That should be the case. Old Master did not specify clearly, but I think there's an 80% chance!”
”80%, at least 80%. If he isn't at least 80% sure, Old Master would definitely not bring it up!” Ming Yue nodded her head with much certainty. ”Then it seems like we should take more notice of this Zhou Bao!”
”Don't make a fuss. Didn't Old Master say it already? The Way of Heaven has yet to show itself, and the fate is not smooth. Based on Zhou Bao's speed of doing things, we don't even need to find him. Very soon, he will be standing in front of us. By then, let's see if we can help him!”
”Alright!”
