C22 (1/2)

Xia Mingyuan opened the door, waved at me, and then opened the door. He sat back down on the chair and started flipping through the ancient book in his hands.

”Master, I'm here.”

”En, take a seat first, I will explain slowly to you.”

I saw that Xia Mingyuan didn't look like he was joking, so I finally relaxed and sat down. However, after I sat down, he didn't say anything and just silently flipped through the book, occasionally making some annotations.

I wasn't someone who was particularly patient to begin with. Right now, I can't wait at all. Just when I was about to break the silence, he spoke up.

”Little girl, do you know the difference between the underworld and the human world?”

This question stunned me for a moment. Although I didn't think that this question was directly related to Feng Tian Yu, after some careful consideration, I didn't feel that there was much of a difference other than that the Underworld was filled with ghosts.

However, after I told my answer to Xia Mingyuan, he shakes his head.

”This answer is not accurate. Let me tell you, the biggest difference between the underworld and the human world is that space …”

”Space?” Was the Underworld really that big? Faintly, without end?

”Yes, the space of the human world cannot be folded. He is just like what you see. What you see is what is happening in the real world, while the Underworld is different.”

I understand this principle. People often say that hearing is false, and seeing is believing. This is the reason. I nodded and motioned for him to continue.

”The Underworld, on the other hand, can be folded. The reason I said that Feng Tian Yu had come yesterday was because of this meaning. He sensed you through the formation, but it was just you. He didn't know where you were nor what kind of people were around you.

I looked at Xia Mingyuan with my eyes wide open. He actually meant to say 'space collapse'!

I trembled as I looked at him and said, ”Master, you're saying that he only felt me and then folded the space around him to come to my side, but he didn't find me?”

”That's right. You're very smart. It's merely that he can sense you, but is unable to forcefully bring you away.”

I let out a long sigh, finally feeling at ease from the suspense of the morning. Listening to Xia Mingyuan's words, I knew that I was temporarily safe.

”Teacher, then why did he come last night …”

I looked uneasily at Xia Mingyuan. I know Feng Tian Yu too well. With such a fiery temper, I don't know how Xia Ming Yuan made him leave.

Upon hearing my question, Xia Mingyuan's thoughts went back to last night.

Feng Tian Yu was more or less concerned that the contract from before didn't forcefully make a move. Although Xia Ming Yuan was a bit excited, he didn't fall for Feng Tian Yu's trick.

”Don't worry. Although he is domineering, I, your master, can still earn some face in the Underworld …”

I lowered my head in disappointment. I had thought that Xia Mingyuan had relied on some kind of magic array to chase Feng Tian Yu away. If that's really the case, then I don't have to be afraid of him as long as I cultivate properly.

But now, he had relied on the reputation he had gained from living in the Underworld for hundreds of years … This sort of illusory thing really made one feel as if a heavy fist had landed on cotton!

”Little girl, you don't need to be discouraged. Since I've accepted you as my disciple, I'll definitely hand this over to you. At that time, although I won't be able to completely destroy that Feng Tian Yu, it won't be difficult for me to stop him for a while!”

”Really, Master? ”Then I will definitely focus on my cultivation!” I happily grabbed Xia Mingyuan's hand and shook it. I was already satisfied that I could block Feng Tian Yu, but kill him? I dare not think.
