Chapter 138 - Everyone Needs Advice Sometimes (1/2)

Grandmaster Zhangsun didn't wait for the end of the gathering. He left after watching some more fights of his disciple and observing that boy Qiu Ling had proposed to. Then, he left the venue and made his way over to the formation he had fetched Qiu Ling from before the gathering. He stepped into the array and was transported into the special dimension.

He looked around but couldn't spot the person he was looking for. He flew toward the center of the dimension and stopped at the edge of a lake. The water was clear enough to see down onto the ground. Right now, a golden-haired man was seated there in a lotus position. When he felt Zhangsun Xun Yi's gaze, the man opened his eyes. They glinted golden like the sun.

Zhangsun Xun Yi nodded at the man and the figure pushed off the ground. It broke through the surface, swam over to where Zhangsun Xun Yi waited and came out of the water. The man waved his hand and his golden hair as well as his black robe both dried.

”I feel like this dimension has become quite lively.”

”I hope you didn't mind me sending my disciple over. There was something wrong with his energy. I thought coming here might help.”

The man walked over to a boulder and sat down, smiling lightly. ”You're asking that now. Hadn't I already been stuck with him for five years?”

Zhangsun Xun Yi didn't answer.

The man sighed. ”It's alright. Though, I wouldn't have minded a little warning. It was quite the shock.”

The Grandmaster narrowed his eyes. ”A shock? Why that?”

The golden eyes fixated on him.

Zhangsun Xun Yi sighed and sat down on the ground in the lotus position, too. ”I can imagine. Back then, I actually didn't know but there was an incident today. When I checked his veins I found out he isn't human. Is he … like you?” He looked at the other man but only got a smile in return. ”Besides that incident that revealed his … special constitution he proposed to one of his junior martial brothers he hadn't seen before.”

The man laughed and leaned back, looking up at the sky. His golden hair gently swayed in the breeze. ”So he already proposed? He's a fast one.”

”If he really is part of your race then —”

The man sighed. ”There is no use in worrying over that. He's more decisive in this regard, it seems, but he is just as dumb as that man. He already did something irreversible long ago. Even if you tried to protect him, it would be of no use.”

”So your meaning is …?”

”Just let it take its natural course. There is nothing you or anyone else could do. It's up to them in the end.”
