Chapter 70: Old Master

What are your requirements for coming here? I didn’t know how to answer this! I didn’t have any requirements at all, I had a whole bunch of questions. Faced with Master Yuan’s questions, I didn’t know where to start. After mumbling for a long time, Master Yuan was already impatient enough to want to beat me. I suddenly blurted out, “Master Yuan, can you tell me where Kunlun is?”

When the old man heard this, he was speechless. I guess this old man doesn’t swear, but if he could, he would probably curse me. He pointed at me for a long time with a beard and a glare in his eyes, and then said, “Nonsense! If I want to know where Kunlun is, can I stay in this place? Can you be more ridiculous?”

I was in a state of soul. I couldn’t sweat, otherwise I would have been in a cold sweat in the face of such a senior.

Seeing me like this, the old master finally calmed down a little and said something that shocked me. He said, “Actually, I know the reason too. You and that guy Jiang are probably both descendants of Kunlun! I’m the only one who can be sure that you are descendants of Kunlun.”

The second time I heard this, the reason for my shock was of course Grandpa Yuan, who had guessed that my master and I were descendants of the Kunlun Sect!

I was stunned, not knowing whether it was better to admit it or not.

It’s not my fault for being a mean person. If I were facing Yuan Yi, I would have readily admitted it. The problem is, what kind of friendship do I have with Grandpa Yuan? Would I dare admit it? After all, the Kunlun lineage is a matter of great importance. If I admit it, our Li family will immediately become delicious steamed buns, and we will be surrounded by a group of hungry people.

Grandpa Yuan looked at me with a smile and said, “I know what the title of ‘Queen of Kunlun’ means, and I even knew it when I was alive. Don’t pretend to want to admit it but be afraid to admit it, it’s obvious to everyone.”

I was depressed. What kind of metaphor is this? Dry stool?

But before I could say anything, Grandpa Yuan said, “You know who I am. Your master probably told you a little bit about me. Your master’s magic tools were the envy of many, and he had all kinds of resources. I didn’t covet them. Don’t think that no one dares to touch me because I’m a government official. Besides, my great-granddaughter is still in your family, and she was inexplicably made the successor of Kunlun. What’s the point of not admitting it to me?”

Yes, what’s the point of not admitting it? Not to mention Yuan Yi’s brother, I also dragged that girl Cheng Yuan onto the bandwagon. Most importantly, my master said that Yuan Yi’s brother’s grandfather was a great old man. If he had a bad character, he definitely wouldn’t have received such a high evaluation from my master.

Thinking about this, I felt at ease and simply admitted it, even saying it all at once: “Old master, you know that I can’t help but be careless about this. I didn’t dare admit it! In fact, at first, I was also confused because the master didn’t tell me a word! He didn’t tell me a word until he disappeared! Later, we also accidentally got some clues, and then we judged that the master went to Kunlun. I… I have always yearned for Kunlun, but it was only recently that I yearned for it. The most important thing in my heart is to be able to see my master in my lifetime, even if it is just once more! To be honest, not only me, but also our lineage, have made finding Kunlun a lifelong wish.

When I said the last sentence, I pretended to be mature and said it with a sad tone.

Master Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked, “Including my great-granddaughter?”

“Of course, little sister has followed every master, and has feelings for each of them. And now she is being taken care of by a few of us, and recently she has been learning the Xiangzi school with sister Chengzhen.” I whispered, because I had a bad feeling!

“I’ll beat you to death, you little brat, for bringing my great-granddaughter along to make trouble. Kunlun, is that something you can pursue in your lifetime? It makes me so angry.” As he spoke, the old man really did try to hit me, but since we were both in spirit form, he was never able to actually hit me.

However, the sudden release of his soul power also weighed on me. I could only raise my hands in a gesture of surrender. This old man really has a fiery temper. It seems that Yuan Yi’s brother didn’t get beaten up much when he was a child. I thought with glee.

Grandpa Yuan was also helpless. He couldn’t really do anything to me. After his temper flared up, he started pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back. It took a while for him to calm down and he said to me, “Well, you just said that your master is missing?”

“Yes, not only my master, but the older generation of our school is all missing, including…” I quickly provided clues to Grandpa Yuan, after all, he must know a lot more than I do, otherwise he would not have been able to say that I was a descendant of the Kunlun Sect in one breath, and he emphasized that he had known it even when he was still in the world.

One thing that confused me in the whole incident was that my master and the others had disappeared, so why did they still bring along the people from that organization, such as Wu Liyu? I only knew a little bit of the clue, that is, Wu Liyu’s master seemed to have a connection with my master!

Since Master Yuan was here, I certainly couldn’t miss this opportunity, and I immediately explained the situation to him.

Grandpa Yuan listened very carefully. After listening, he pondered for a long time before saying, “The history of that organization goes back a long time, and there is also a secret story involved in the middle. I am fortunate to know a little bit! So, it is not surprising that your master called on the people of that organization. Let’s put that aside for now. After listening to you, there is a big clue in this ghost market that you can go after. I will first talk about this clue, and then tell you what I know about Kunlun.”

Hearing what Grandpa Yuan said, I was delighted. It seems that Grandpa Yuan is also a straightforward person. I said with a smile, “Good, good.”

“What the hell! Who asked you to drag my great-granddaughter into this? Ah? I’m being forced to join the Liangshan Mountain Gang, okay? Kunlun has always been a taboo topic in the industry. Do you know why? Because it’s our most realistic destination! At least it’s not as vague as becoming an immortal, and as long as there is a little bit of accurate information about it, it will set off a bloody storm! It will also involve some hidden forces in this world. You’re really something, you dare to come to the ghost market to ask about it, really something!” The old man said with a beard and a glare.

I secretly rejoiced in my heart. I had asked about Kunlun twice, once to the skeleton official, and I had successfully fobbed him off. In this so-called place of refuge, I met Master Yuan. I was really glad that he was handsome and had better luck.

Old Master Yuan doesn’t know what I’m thinking, and even if he does, he’ll probably be too angry to say anything.

I didn’t want to upset the old master Yuan again, so I quickly smiled and said, “Old master Yuan, tell me about the so-called clue. You know, it’s not easy for me to come here once. This time, I only got a place here because I was lucky. I can’t afford to delay.”

Grandpa Yuan snorted and then said to me without further ado, “How do you think I know that your master has been here? It’s because he came here and caused a certain amount of commotion. The ghosts here are all imprisoned in this place and can only get out at great cost. Once they get out, they will never have the opportunity to come back. Therefore, in this environment, sensational news spreads quickly and also reached my ears.

I was stunned when I heard this. Master, you can’t do this! I’m so handsome, and you’re so ugly. Why is it that I come here without a ripple, but you come here and cause a sensation? Do these ghosts have a problem with their appreciation skills?

But I definitely wouldn’t dare to say this out loud. After a moment of shock, I quickly made a serious and honest look and listened to Grandmaster Yuan’s detailed explanation.

After a moment of thought, Grandpa Yuan continued, “It seems that Xiao Jiang came here to make plans for Kunlun. Unfortunately, by the time I got the news, he had already left. I didn’t think in that direction. Today, if I hadn’t met you, I really wouldn’t have thought that he saw an existence here because of Kunlun.

“Existence, what existence?” My mood suddenly became tense. I felt as if I had grasped the key to the matter.

“This is the reason why your master caused a sensation when he came here! He didn’t just stumble upon it, he used secret methods to forcefully search for it, found the existence of the ancient ancestor here, and then somehow made a secret deal with the ancient ancestor.” Grandpa Yuan said with a look of disbelief.

“What… what ancestor?” I couldn’t even speak clearly.

Grandpa Yuan looked at me and said, “I said that this place has existed for thousands of years, and I am a very young shrimp here. What do you think is an ancestor?”
