Chapter 234: Quaint and attractive Skeleton
Ye Chuan opened his eyes and somewhat curiously, he turned around and carefully sized up this one old and one young.
The little boy was restless and was even shyer, tightly holding the hand of this old man. As for this old man, he was very calm and calmly faced the curious gaze of Ye Chuan. He still had a smile on his face and looked very kind. Both of them were very thin and pallid and appeared travel-worn, seemingly, they had traveled a long way, scaling mountains and ford streams.
“You seemed to have arrived here with great difficulty, grandpa, aren’t you going in?” Ye Chuan asked secretly guessing the identity of this old and young.
The young boy was still very young. He appeared as if he had just stepped into the path of cultivation, and Ye Chuan guessed that he was only Rank 1 Wuzhe. As for the old man, he was very old. His age could no longer be determined. He seemed to have already lived for 700 or 800 years, but his cultivation appeared not up to much, at most Rank 1 Daoist Master realm. Ye Chuan had a hard time understanding why they came here. Myriad Beast Forest, Ghost King Chessboard, auxiliary palace Choatian Palace, and that poisonous mist, which one of them wasn’t terrifying? But, these two, how come they arrived here?
“Noble son, you are also not going in.” The old man smiled. Even a little bit of hostility and killing intent couldn’t be felt from him, moreover, he appeared very kind as if a next door grandpa who thoroughly understood life. His voice was feeble as if he was already tired arriving here. He appeared as if he was too old and couldn’t walk anymore.
Ye Chuan smiled and stood up. Now, he was all the more curious about the identity of these one old and one young. Without exception, all the disciples of sects and loose cultivators that entered this paradise realm were vigilant and indifferent to each other. Rarely someone was like this old fellow. “Grandpa, are you waiting for someone?”
“Yes, we are waiting for someone.” The old man replied.
“Who?”
Ye Chuan looked all around and only saw seething deadly poisonous mists and a narrow path leading to the distant place. But, all the people that should come had already come, and he didn’t see anyone coming over. Moreover, according to the time passed, Zhu Sijia and others that were left outside should have already left.
“Waiting for you.” The old man answered.
“What? Waiting for me?” Ye Chuan was surprised.
“Yes, waiting for you.”
The voice of this old man became even feeble and his dim eyes looked at Ye Chuan and said, “Noble son, can I request you a matter?”
“Speak.” Ye Chuan neither agreed not refused.
“Help me bring Little Long’er to Demonic Dragon Hall at the end of this paradise realm.” The old man came straight to the point without beating around the bush, moreover, he looked at Ye Chuan without blinking his eyes with earnest hope and expectation.
“Why did you find me?”
Ye Chuan paused and continued, “Among many experts that entered this paradise realm, there are many people that have higher cultivation realm than me, for instance, Black Cauldron Sect’s Sect Master Tuoba Xiong, Five Style Sect’s Elder Feng Ren and other many experts. Grandpa, I am just an ordinary person who can’t even guarantee my life, why didn’t you look for them?”
“Because you are different from others. Cultivation realm is one aspect, but moral character and talent are even more important. Furthermore, the cultivation realm doesn’t represent everything. Even noble son Zhuifeng of Murong aristocratic family who considered himself the best in the world, wasn’t he utterly defeated in noble son’s hands?”
The old man said in a feeble voice. He appeared to be too tired, but when talking, his dim eyes shone. From Chaotian Palace, he had secretly watched each and every move of Ye Chuan and had come prepared.
