Chapter 77: Xuan Cheung

Chapter 77: Xuan Cheung

... The Pill Master geniuses all stood there with their head down trying to figure out the true meaning behind that question.

Such a simple, yet profound question As expected from someone so powerful.

Is the truth behind his words? But what meaning do these three words have???

I have never had such a hard time answering a question!

Damn, this is not some ancient riddle, yet why cant I answer it?!?

None of them were able to make up their mind!

Whos going to answer first? They began looking around to see everybody there doing the same thing.

Guang Zhou the 18-Year-Old Genius was opening and closing his mouth seeming like he cannot make a decision, Who am I? Does he mean what I want to be if he accepts me? Ah! Thats it! He wants to know what kind of person I want to be! But wait! What if Im wrong?! I cant risk it, its too risky--- No! If one of them answers before me and it happened to be the same answer as mine, what will I do if he was right?! Ill have to live my life regretting such a choice! Then I must go and--- No! What if I was really wrong?! Ill have to live my life regretting that choice too! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Answering and not answering are both as risky! I must wait---- Aaaahhhh! Fuck it!

I have my answer! He suddenly shouted, scaring the hell out of the others who were too focused on thinking.

Tian Yi looked at him and said, Oh? Then let me hear it.

With Sir as my Master, I will inevitably become the Worlds next best Pill Master! So that is who I want to become! He said with confidence.

... The place turned silent again.

He said ittttt!!!!! The others cried out in their head. All of them had already thought of that, but their guts had told them not to say it!

They nervously waited for Tian Yis reply.

....." But a response did not come.

...? Guang Zhou was confused. Was that it? Did he answer correctly? Or did was he wrong?

Sir, did I answer correctly? He had to ask that question no matter what.

Hm? Oh, Ill let you all know once I hear everyones answer, He said.

What?!?!?!?!? They all cried inside their heart.

Are you trying to kill us with stress?!? Invisible tears poured out of their eyes.

...

...

The place had turned dead silent once again.

Damn, that did not help out at all! How are we supposed to know who was right and wrong--- Ah! One of them suddenly realized something.

Sir, I have a question, He said.

What is it?

What if more than one person answered correctly?

!!! The rest of them became enlightened.

Then I will just choose one of you, Tian Yi said calmly.

!!! An enlightened occurred once again.

This means that whoever gives the most profound answer will become his Disciple! They thought.

...

...

They began thinking again.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Little Meng Xiang, can I ask you something? Xuan Cheung suddenly walked over.

What is it, Senior? She looked at him.

Where did you get that Cauldron? The one you used to subdue that Enraged Divine Flame, He had to ask her this question no matter what or else he won't be able to go to sleep from now on.

Big Brother gave it to me as a gift, She answered truthfully.

I knew it He had somehow expected such an answer. He was aware that she was only a servant, yet how did a mere servant obtain something that every Pill Master in the World would kill for? The only answer was her Master; Tian Yi had given it to her!

Tian Yi He looked at him with pleading eyes.

That Cauldron? A servant of mine back at home used to use it for tea brewing, and I fancied it, so I asked him if I could have it,

'A servant? Tea brewing? One of the three Ancient Divine Cauldron?' Xuan Cheung could feel his veins bulging, and blood was also trying to rush out of his throat.

Un. Thank you, Big Brother, She said before turning back to the shocked Xuan Cheung.

Here you go, Senior, this is for you, She said in a childish voice before holding her palms up to offer him the Ancient Divine Cauldron that she was holding.

............. But he did not pick it up. Instead, he stared at her with eyes so big she thought it was going to pop.

A-A-Are y-y-you s-s-sure?! He stuttered nonstop.

Un. She nodded.

B-But. Isnt this precious to you? He asked.

It is very precious to me. This Cauldron is the first gift that Big Brother had given me after all, She said calmly.

T-Then why? Why give it to me? Xuan Cheung wanted to just snatch it away without asking all these questions, but his character and pride had told him otherwise.

I dont know, but I just feel that I should give it to you, She told him the truth.

She honestly did not know why she was willing to give away such a precious treasure to her, but whenever she thought about it, it did not bother her one bit. Instead, it even made her feel happy.

... Xuan Cheung could not believe her reason for giving him such a precious Treasure.

All because she felt like she should.? Tears started flowing down his face again.

Sniff Youre such a good girl Sniff Thank you Thank you very much He thanked her while reaching out for the Cauldron on her hand.

His hand was trembling nonstop. However, it not excitement that was making him shake, but fear. Afraid that this was all just a dream and he will wake up after picking up the Cauldron. Afraid that he had actually passed out from happiness during the time he was caressing the Cauldron.

*Touch*

The moment he felt the coldness on that Cauldron, an electric shock traveled through his entire body.

Ahhh Its not a dream Hahaha He laughed with a weak tone. He could feel the coolness from that Cauldron the moment he touched it, and it was that coolness that refreshed his mind, telling him that he's not dreaming!

He carefully held the Cauldron like holding a baby, afraid that he might drop it.

Thank you Thank you He suddenly fell to his knees and kowtowed towards Meng Xiang.

...

...

Everybody there that was already shocked from him acting like a child was shocked even more! Their eyes were ten inches away from their face, and their jaw was nowhere to be found as they watched a Pill Grandmaster kowtow to a little girl!

Senior, please get up, Meng Xiang propped him back up to his feet.

*****

Many minutes later, Xuan Cheung had finally calmed down, but his eyes were still red from crying. He had also apologized for showing them such an embarrassing sight, which the people there said not to worry because they didnt see anything.

... Tian Yi had been silently watching Meng Xiang from the side with a deep gaze. Nobody could tell what was on his mind, but one thing was for sure--- that he was in a great mood.

Meng Xiang! He called out to her.

Yes, Big Brother? She ran to him.

Ill give you another gift later, and Ill even let you choose, so dont cry tonight, He laughed.

Really?! Yay! She started jumping for joy.

Okay, now Hey, you guys got your answer to my question yet? I have somewhere to be, so I cannot wait too long, He reminded the geniuses about what they were doing.

Ah! Sorry, Sir, but what just happened had distracted me

Me too, I didnt have time to think

5 Minutes. If you cannot answer my question within the next 5 minutes, then dont blame me for not accepting a Disciple, He held up five fingers.

5 Minutes?!?!?!?! They began to panic and stopped caring about anything else besides trying to figure out the meaning to his question.

5 Minutes--- that was all the time they had to change their life forever.
