1654 Extremely Shocked (1/2)

”Look at you. You are so young, but you are already at level seven of the Saint Origin Stage. That is impressive.” Chihuo looked at Ye Xiao and said, ”I have been traveling the world for so many years, and there aren't many people who can be as talented as you are.”

Ye Xiao smiled and said, ”Oh, really? As a matter of fact, I am quite normal.”

Chihuo laughed and said, ”You are being too modest, Lord Monarch… Your real age…” He reached out one hand to hold Ye Xiao's shoulder and said, ”You must be younger than…”

Suddenly, he froze in shock!

His eyes nearly popped out of his eye frames.

”What is it?” Ye Xiao was confused. 'What is going on? I didn't say anything… Well, I was being modest, and it might make me look hypocritical, but do you have to be shocked like this?'

'Really?'

'Do you have to?'

”You… Your age… You are actually younger than twenty?” Chihuo took a deep breath and asked as if he was looking at a ghost.

He just couldn't believe it.

”No way… You made a mistake. I am much older than twenty!” Ye Xiao said. It made Chihuo feel relieved, ”I knew it… You can't be such a monster…”

”My age is twenty-two and a half…” Ye Xiao smiled and said, ”That is over twenty. Do you think I am still a kid? Do you expect me to live backward…?”

Chihuo's face was twisted. At this moment, his heart was shaking.

”I know that I look young, but you can't change my age. That two and a half years are solid…” Ye Xiao said.

”Wait… I didn't mean it… I didn't say you were a kid…” Chihuo felt upset.

In some powerful clans, the youngsters who were talented usually looked younger than they were because the clans would use some special technique to keep their original qi on them for as long as they could.

That could be weird to others. A man who was actually fifty years old could be like a kid.

He wasn't a dwarf. Nor was he ill. It was just a special technique working on him.

When a cultivator checked another cultivator's age, it wasn't about the birth age, but the cultivation age. The former Ye Xiao started cultivating when he was seven. In fact, when Ye Xiao was reborn in this body, he truly started cultivating. That was the beginning of his cultivation age. That was why Chihuo thought Ye Xiao was less than twenty. He was less than twenty, actually less than ten!

Ye Xiao looked young and pretty, and Chihuo believed he only remained young by some special techniques…

After all, he was smart, wise, brilliant in dan-making, and it took time for a man to become so brilliant. When Chihuo checked Ye Xiao's cultivation age, he realized Ye Xiao's cultivation age was actually less than twenty years. That was why he was shocked!

Ye Xiao told Chihuo that he was twenty-two years old. That proved Chihuo's judgment. He had lived twenty-two years only!

It meant his cultivation age was less than twenty years indeed!
