Chapter 381 - Feeling The Pain Of The Future
Chapter 381: Feeling The Pain Of The Future
It was indeed not that easy to find his master a wife.
But very quickly, Jiang Lan was stunned. He recalled Martial Aunt Miao Yue’s words back then.
At that time, his Martial Aunt had said that she had admired his master for a long time and wanted him to be a matchmaker.
So…
Could admiration have transformed into adoration?
Or perhaps was the first half of the sentence true and the second half false?
It couldn’t be ruled out that the entire sentence was true as well.
Jiang Lan sighed inwardly. It seemed like he couldn’t eliminate Martial Aunt Miao Yue.
She even had to be the first choice.
Next time, he would ask his master.
He would see what his master felt about this.
At this moment, Jiang Lan saw Martial Aunt Chen Xi. Since he had already asked about it, should he ask about his master’s thoughts?
It was also good to prepare for the future.
But before he could say anything, Chen Xi suddenly said.
“Since you’ve asked about Miao Yue, as a junior, you should be very interested about her face under the veil, right?”
“No.” Jiang Lan shook his head.
He was really not curious about that.
In his eyes, there was no difference whether Martial Aunt Miao Yue wore a veil or not.
Chen Xi was somewhat surprised. The veil brought about a mysterious effect.
It would make many people want to know the face under the veil.
Jiang Lan actually didn’t have such curiosity.
“Then what else do you want to ask?” Chen Xi asked.
She no longer knew what Jiang Lan would ask.
“Does my master… have someone he admires?” Jiang Lan hesitated for a moment before asking.
This question made Chen Xi think for a long time.
“In the past, your master and I were good brothers. After that, as we were of different genders, I slowly ignored him.
At that time, he had no opinion about women.
That’s what you wanted to ask, isn’t it?
If it is, indeed, he doesn’t have someone on his mind.
But if it’s not, then forget about it, we’ll be discovered if I use my divination technique on him.
Jiang Lan: “…”
A good brother?
Jiang Lan felt that his Martial Aunt Chen Xi had many stories.
“Speaking of which, your master did everything in his power to send you here, and you’re discussing this with me?” Chen Xi asked.
Jiang Lan seemed to have come here to discuss the emotional past of the various summit leaders.
He had asked about Miao Yue and Mo Zhengdong.
Ugh.
Could it be that Miao Yue had told Jiang Lan that she admired Mo Zhengdong, causing him to have the idea of finding his master a mistress?
And since it was pretty weird for him to ask Mo Zhengdong about such matters, he had asked her directly about it.
And he didn’t want to find out more about himself?
Chen Xi looked at Jiang Lan.
This boy had deep intentions.
“Sorry for troubling Martial Aunt.” Jiang Lan lowered his head apologetically.
“Are you confused about your road to becoming an immortal?” Chen Xi asked.
“I’ve never been lost before.” Jiang Lan shook his head.
“That’s good. By the way,” Chen Xi continued pouring tea for herself.
“The Goddess is Zhu Qing’s disciple, right?
I heard that she is very doted on.”
“Yes.” Jiang Lan nodded.
Xiao Yu was indeed more favored in the Third Summit.
“If she’s free, help me ask Zhu Qing if she feels anything about females having a relationship that exceeds that of friendship.” Chen Xi spoke.
Jiang Lan: “…”
Jiang Lan doubted the sincerity of this question.
Was it because his Martial Aunt Chen Xi had already guessed Martial Aunt Miao Yue’s actions and was treating him the same way?
It felt like he was being teased.
“Aren’t you going to drink some tea?” Seeing Jiang Lan in a daze, Chen Xi poured another cup of tea for her.
Jiang Lan looked down at the teacup that had been refilled. Then, he took a sip.
It was her second time pouring tea. If he did not drink it, it would be disrespecting his Martial Aunt.
So he could only try to take a sip.
“How does it taste?” Chen Xi put down the teapot in her hand and asked with a smile.
“It tastes a bit bitter,” Jiang Lan said.
It was extremely bitter.
He could already feel the bitterness even though he just took a sip. If he drank a cup, then…
Perhaps it was bitter water.
“Cultivators live long lives, but this path is not easy to walk. It will naturally be a bit bitter. Go and experience the future. Oh right.” Chen Xi looked at Jiang Lan and said.
“You might have misunderstood something from the beginning. Your master sent you here not for me to divine something about you.
Even though he asked me to answer your questions. But all the deductions will be done by you. I’m just providing you with this ability. Therefore, go ahead and experience the hardships on the path to immortality. ”
Martial Aunt Chen Xi’s words rang in Jiang Lan’s ears. At this moment, he felt as if he had fallen into the endless starry sky.
He could no longer hear anything.
Starlight flowed around him.
Everything around him changed.
He watched on and felt everything change.
Then, he felt his footsteps moving forward.
He, who was at the late-stage Heaven Immortal Realm, seemed to see his perfected golden body and his great Dao being acknowledged by the world.
The Celestial Immortal Realm was right before his eyes.
In that instant, Jiang Lan felt the changes in his advancement.
He was about to become a Celestial Immortal.
It was different from the innkeeper’s side. This was a deduction.
He was in a situation where he could deduce the various possibilities that could happen.
Jiang Lan discovered that advancing to become a Celestial Immortal was a fusion of the Dao and his golden body.
The slightest mistake could lead to failure.
In his deduction, he saw countless failures. It was like a line that continuously advanced through the maze, but it also led to countless dead ends.
But the line did not stop. It continued to turn back and move forward.
Unless it succeeded, it was impossible to stagnate.
After an unknown period of time and countless failures.
Jiang Lan realized that advancing to become a Celestial Immortal was much harder than he thought.
There were countless changes through this advancement process and there were many accidents that could potentially happen.
If he were to attempt a breakthrough without sufficient preparation, he would be doomed.
After a long period of time and countless attempts at trying to advance to become a Celestial Immortal.
The last golden light flashed.
He finally saw himself advancing to become a Celestial Immortal.
He saw the scene of him being a Celestial Immortal.
He seemed to be able to conquer the vast grand Dao.
Crack!
Everything shattered.
At this moment, he opened his eyes.
He realized that his master might have paid a huge price to persuade Martial Aunt Chen Xi to unleash this technique on him.
This opportunity would allow him to experience the many possible ways to achieve immortality.
And indeed, he had obtained a fortuitous opportunity from this experience.
Except…
This opportunity might have far exceeded his master’s expectations.
Similarly, this also showed that the fortuitous opportunities his master found for him were always the best.
As he thought of this, the sunlight began to enter his eyes.
It was over.
After some time.
It was indeed beyond his expectations. He had always thought that his Martial Aunt would be the one deducing the result out for him through her divination technique.
He never expected that the process and outcome would be carried out by him alone.
His Martial Aunt merely provided him the platform to do so.
The moment he opened his eyes, he found a girl sitting opposite him.
She was looking at him with her hands on her cheeks.
Seeing him open his eyes, the other party even blinked.
It was as if she was surprised.
Then, she smiled.
“Junior Brother, you’re finally awake.”
This person was naturally Xiao Yu.
It seemed like a long time had passed.
Otherwise, Xiao Yu would not have found this place.
“Senior Sister, how long has it been?” Jiang Lan asked curiously.
“Junior Brother.” Xiao Yu pouted.
“Do you realize that every time you wake up, you will ask this question?
This means that Junior Brother often falls into this sort of epiphany which causes you to lose track of the time.
But I am always by your side. Without my help, a bird’s nest would have formed on your head.”
Jiang Lan: “…”
