As the game continued, a message paper flew in from afar and landed at Chen Taishi Ancestor's feet.
"Ying Laosi, he is not Minghong. What did that kid promise us that would warrant the Great Qin Ying Clan and Qiankun to protect him? Are we really afraid that he might sever his own foundation?"
Clearly, everything that had transpired had reached Chen Taishi Ancestor's ears.
"Chen the Old Man, I am indeed not Minghong. Some things, once they begin, roll forward like time itself, never stopping. Wasn't it the Human Emperor who used ten thousand years to overthrow the first unified empire, ending the Human Emperor Era? Wasn't it a hundred thousand years ago that light shone? For ten thousand years, they dealt with their greatest enemy, and before they could savor the fruits of victory, another Gu Ping appeared. Do they still think they were wrong?"
Overthrowing a tyrant's rule seemed to be everyone's common wish at that time; it was a natural outcome. But tomorrow, if someone wanted to use bloodshed, what could be done?
Ying Si sneered and took advantage of Chen Taishi Ancestor's distraction to make a sudden move. Originally holding an advantageous position with the black pieces, he instantly turned the tide of the game and was forced to defend.
Chen Taishi Ancestor looked at Ying Si in exasperation, holding a red chess piece and hesitating.
"Ancestor," Disciple said, "that leg should be over there."
Out of nowhere came a girl carrying a burden. She just placed a water ladle down at Chen Taishi Ancestor's feet and pointed at the chessboard.
The two old men turned to look where the girl was pointing. Chen Taishi Ancestor laughed heartily while Ying Si glared at her in frustration.
"A true gentleman observes chess in silence. How can my kid be so clueless?"
"Ancestor's friends all say that a true gentleman observes chess in silence. But Jin Ju is just a girl; how can she be considered a gentleman?"
"Hahaha! Well said! What brings Buluo Ming Tian here?"
Disciple came to Ancestor to resign; otherwise, it would be time to return.
What will Disciple do tomorrow?
Disciple has been with Ancestor for a full eight years. Ancestor is worried that Disciple might forget, and tomorrow happens to be the time for Jin Ju on the mountain.
Oh, eight years have passed in the blink of an eye; it really is time to return.
Then Disciple will take their leave. In Serene Wave Cave, Disciple had left some tea leaves drying a while ago. When the tea runs out, Disciple will come back to give Ancestor some more.
Watching Jin Ju's departing figure, Chen Taishi Ancestor suddenly felt a bit reluctant, murmuring to themselves.
What a good child! They have such a humble name, but their life is anything but humble; in fact, it is far more precious than my own.
What nonsense am I saying? Hurry up and Dong Qi. That time when I looked back, who reminded me? Hmph.
Having passed through Grand Master Feng and Wang Shizu's Liquid Essence, Gu Ping was finally close to reaching the mountain peak. He remembered how excited he felt when he first arrived at that spot; it was as if he had become an immortal. Yet, deep down, Ming Gu Ping felt a faint sadness.
I wonder, does it really matter if he comes tomorrow?
Gu Ping thought that perhaps Ye You was the smartest and most clear-headed person in the world, both as Ye Youluo and now as Ye You.
Just like I said, coming is better than not coming; seeing is better than not seeing.
But what if Bu Fou What should he do if he thinks that way?
The difficulties have passed, and now who in the Dust Realm can stop me? The Mok Ming Academy no longer holds sway over my choices; I have given the academy a new opportunity for selection.
Everyone looked at Ye You in surprise, including Gu Ping. After weighing the situation, it seemed that Ye You was right—the tide of a new era had risen. Even if Gu Ping couldn't take that first step, the door no longer held the foundation to dominate the entire realm; one day, it would be replaced by other forces.
As for me, I could never be that calm. It would be nice to be rational just once.
That time in the Shadow Tower Forest was perhaps my most irrational moment, and it felt quite good.
We weren't seeking to show off there; we just wanted to hurry up the mountain. We were only missing that initial step.
A few of them chatted and laughed as they continued toward the summit when they saw a middle-aged man in servant's clothes rolling down the mountain. They rushed to help him up.
Is that Xiao Yi? How did he roll down from the mountain?
Xiao Yi looked gratefully at Gu Ping, knowing he was just joking and not minding his status as a servant at all.
The mountain, oh, there are immortals here! Let him roll down to deliver our message—let us clean our necks and wait for death.
Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Gu Ping chuckled dismissively as he helped Xiao Yi while walking up the mountain, saying, "So, are you interested in seeing how those immortals meet their end?"
