C2596 Mysterious Ancestor

This son of a b * tch, what is there to teach!

Looking at Young Master Tianji's departing back, Lin Bai could not help but curse in his heart. Towards a hypocrite with a gentle appearance and an unfathomable heart, he really did not have the slightest respect for him. He was not willing to have even the slightest bit of conflict with him.

But no matter what, this matter had been handled smoothly! Although Lin Bai disdained Young Master Tianji's character, he was still happy in his heart. No matter what, being able to smooth over this disaster and not have any other worries before the grand event began was indeed an unexpected surprise.

However, this joy only appeared for a short period of time. Looking at the blazing gazes of the crowd, Lin Bai could not help but smile bitterly in his heart. This time, he was indeed in the limelight. He had beaten the disciple of another person in the Myriad Manifestation Paradise, and even made him apologize. It could be said that he had created the first river of the Immortal World.

Although this matter seemed like a relief, it wasn't necessarily a good thing for Lin Bai's plans. He originally wanted to avoid any friction with the Myriad Manifestation Paradise, as this would make it easier for him to save Sophia and Li Qingnan.

However, there was nothing he could do. Even at this moment, Lin Bai wanted to deeply sigh. I am a low-key person, but I have to keep a high profile in this situation. This is something that I cannot control.

However, Lin Bai also understood that although these words were from his own heart, if he really said them out loud, it was likely that he would be treated as an act of posturing by the people around him.

"Senior Mu, you really …" At this moment, the already dazed Xia Fei finally came back to his senses. He walked up to Lin Bai and gave him a thumbs up, saying slowly, "This is too awesome …"

Other than the word 'awesome', Xia Fei really couldn't think of any other word to describe Lin Bai. As one of the five giants of the Immortal World, who in the Immortal World didn't tremble in fear when mentioning this enormous monster?

If he were to encounter a situation like this with Lin Bai, he would have long started to hurriedly apologize. However, Lin Bai remained calm and collected. Finally, he called upon the Ten Thousand Beginning Paradise to apologize to him.

"Little friend, your grasp of the current situation of the human heart has reached a level of perfection. Truly, it is quite admirable." Before Lin Bai could speak, a somewhat low and deep voice sounded from beside him.

Lin Bai looked over to see that the person who had spoken was none other than the old man who had helped him when he was interrogating Duan Cai. He was trying to make him do more than half the work and dressed like a beggar.

"Thank you for your help, old man. If it wasn't for your help, I wouldn't have been so successful." Upon seeing this, Lin Bai immediately clasped his hands towards the old beggar, his face full of sincere gratitude.

Not only that, at the same time that he expressed his gratitude, Lin Bai was also constantly sizing up this old beggar. He believed that since this person could see through his plan, and could see that he was using the Myriad Manifestation Wonderland to urgently complete the plan to enter the 'Ten Thousand Sects', it would not make things too difficult for him. He believed that his cultivation level and identity should be extraordinary.

But as far as he could tell, the old man was emitting a strong rancid smell, no different from a beggar in the mortal world. The weirdest thing was that the mana fluctuations he felt from this old man actually showed that this old man's cultivation was only at the Zither Heart Realm. He hadn't even reached the Liuyang Realm.

Not only that, but beside this old man was a little girl whose face was also covered in black mud. Even though the black mud blocked her view, making it difficult to see her appearance, her pair of eyes were like limpid autumn water, sparkling and full of spirit.

This pair of old and young, they definitely could not be measured using common sense! Although he didn't know the true identity of this old beggar and the young beggar by his side, Lin Bai had a premonition that the background of this old and young was definitely not that simple.

Although he was puzzled about the origins of these two people, he could tell that this old man seemed to be rather straightforward when dealing with matters. Moreover, he had a favorable impression of him.

"Let's not say any more words of thanks …" When the old beggar heard this, he laughed heartily. Then, with a mischievous expression, he patted his stomach and laughed: "If you really want to thank me, then invite me to the city for a meal. "During the past few days of travelling, I have been starving. I can barely endure it, but I'm afraid that I will not be able to eat something with my little granddaughter."

Lin Bai looked over when he heard this. He saw that the little girl's face was covered in mud. When she heard the word 'eat', her eyes immediately lit up. She even had a faint feeling that she was sharpening her knife.

If these two really had some background, then how did they end up like this? Even if it was just a meal filled with food, it would be an extravagant hope for them. Could it be that he had made a mistake, and the two of them were indeed beggars?

"Senior, this way!" Although he was curious about the identity of this young and old man, Lin Bai was not the type of person to differentiate between people just because of one's identity. Furthermore, this old beggar even had the intention of helping him.

Hearing that, the beggar raised his head and laughed out loud, holding onto Su Su's little girl by his side, he then walked towards the Divine City with big strides. Looking at his large strides, Lin Bai's right eye could not help but twitch, having a bad premonition.

In the center of the divine city, there was a resplendent waterfall that poured down from the top of the divine mountain. It crashed into the lake, and on the edge of the lake, there was a bamboo forest. It was extremely quiet. This place was where the Holy Maiden rested for a long time. Ordinary people would not be able to enter at all. Within the bamboo forest, there was a faint mist surrounding it, making it seem even more otherworldly.

Currently, the Divine Maiden of the beginning stood by the bamboo forest quietly, looking at the massive waterfall descending from the sky, allowing it to fall. The myriad of splashes that touched the edge of her skirt did not seem to notice.

Behind the Holy Maiden, there was an old lady with snow-white hair, whose face was covered in red light, standing with her hands folded in front of her. Although this old man's body was slightly bent, there was a natural sense of might that did not get angry as he stood there. This caused people to dare look up at him and they would not dare to underestimate him just because she was an old servant.

However, the strange thing was that although this old man had a high cultivation, his attitude was extremely respectful towards the Holy Maiden. Both of his hands were placed in front of his body as he bowed and served her, just like the most loyal servant.

"Granny Huo, what do you think of today's matter?" After a long while, the Holy Maiden seemed to have finally woken up from her deep thoughts, but there was still a hint of confusion in her eyes, and she slowly continued: "That person's every word and action, seemed to be reckless, but he is extremely disciplined. I think everything is in his plans. "From what I can see, even with his cultivation, there seems to be more secrets he's hiding …"

After Granny Fire heard this, she said without hesitation, "How could it be that mysterious? In my opinion, he is just a sharp-tongued kid. In the mountains, there are bamboo shoots and a thick belly with sharp beaks.

"Nanny, you just said those words …" When the Holy Maiden heard this, she couldn't help but smile. She then revealed a smile and said, "Moreover, he must have an extraordinary background when he was with grandfather who was begging for it. Grandma, I'm afraid you've made a mistake this time."

"It's precisely because he's with that old beggar that he deserves my evaluation." Granny Huo seemed to be prejudiced against that wishful thinking. After hearing what was said, she curled her lips and continued in a disdainful manner, "I've asked that idiot Duan Cai about it. According to him, that brat seems to be from some Hollow Jade Sect.

"The Hollow Jade Sect?" As if she thought of something, the smile on her face grew wider, and even her voice became warm, "I didn't expect that I would actually ask grandpa to come to my Ten Thousand Beginning Paradise, and the little girl he is carrying, should be little sister Su Su, right?"

"He's merely a beggar. Pity that little girl. She's a nice person, yet she has to suffer such hardships with him. From what I see, that little girl's body is frail. I don't know how many hardships she has suffered." Grandma Huo disdainfully smiled. After that, her eyebrows slightly furrowed as she sincerely said, "Miss, please forgive this old woman for speaking one more time. There are some things that I think you should stop thinking about."

"How could I not know? Even if I had to force it, I could not force it …" Hearing Granny Huo's words, the expression on the face of the Holy Maiden immediately darkened, and she let out a soft sigh. Then, she slowly said to Granny Fire, "If you have the chance, bring Little Sister Su Su over. I would like to see what this little sister looks like."

"Miss, if you want to see that little girl, isn't it just a matter of words?" Hearing this, Granny Huo nodded her head slightly, but when she saw the sad smile on the Great Saintess' face, her heart softened. With a soft sigh, she said: "Miss, I was the one who brought you up, and many things were destined from the beginning. No matter who you are, you cannot change it."

"I understand …" Hearing this, the Holy Maiden nodded slightly. Although she still had a smile on her face, even if she was blind, she could still see that her smile was as forced as it could be.

When Granny Huo saw this, she softly sighed before slowly turning around to leave. Although her footsteps were steady, there was occasionally a mountain breeze that blew past her snow-white hair, causing her to feel an indescribable vicissitudes of life.
