C8 Not an Old God

Hearing Wang Bo's words, Yang Xi was surprised. He was too eager for quick results and had revealed his edge. He had already provoked Wang Bo's suspicion. However, Yang Xi reacted quickly after all. Without even thinking, he blurted out, "Reporting to my lord, this is only half of it."

Wang Bo was surprised, he couldn't help but to ask curiously, "Why half of it?"

"I've been poor since I was young, have never read a book, and can't read, so how could I know about the major events of the world? The first part of my analysis was heard from the conversation between the two scholars while I was begging, but the second part was that I thought about it myself, if anything goes wrong, please do not blame me."

"Alright, this kid can be taught," just as Yang Xi finished his sentence, a loud and clear voice came from outside the door.

With the sudden appearance of this voice, everyone's attention was drawn to the door. Only Wang Bo had stood up to welcome this voice. Yang Xi turned around and saw a Taoist coming in from outside. He had white hair and a silver beard, and his eyes were bright like light, and his two white eyebrows almost reached the level of his nose. However, there was not a single wrinkle on his face, and his skin was smooth and rosy like a newborn baby's, making people feel like he was an immortal god.

At this time, Wang Bo had already come over to greet the old Daoist. He bowed and said, "Since when did Taoist Master come back? Why don't you get someone to inform him first, this nephew will go out to welcome you."

Who was this person? Other than the Head Supervisor, everyone in the room was guessing who this person was. To think that Prefect, a dignified county, would respect him so much.

Speaking of this old Daoist, he was one of the three great deities, Zuo Ci, who was with Daoist Nan Hua and Yu Ji in the final years of the Han Dynasty. These three deities from the three kingdoms were actually not some deities either. After all, there were no deities in this world, but they were all very old, and they all knew the ways of life and death. Furthermore, these three people were amazing in ancient times, and were proficient in phase and weather techniques, and were considered to be deities by many people at that time.

Take Sun Ce, for example. History records that Sun Ce was ambushed by his henchmen after killing Prefect of Wu County. The truth was that Sun Ce's true cause of death wasn't as simple as this. It was because after killing Yu Ji, he was abandoned miserably by everyone. If there wasn't a single death to apologize, the Jiangdong would have once again changed hands.

Among the three, Nan Hua was the oldest and had reached over a hundred years of age. Yu Ji was ninety years old, while Zuo Ci was at least eighty years old. As for Taoist Nan Hua, Zuo Ci had always respected him as a teacher. Later on, Nan Hua had agreed, and Zuo Ci had come under Nan Hua's tutelage.

Speaking of how Zuo Ci appeared in Wang Bo's mansion, it was Wang Bo's Royal Father Bai that had to be mentioned. This person could be said to be a prodigy of the current age. He had read many books, and had also researched the art of phase technique, qi image technique, and the strange door escape technique, and had interacted very well with Zuo Ci. Under the influence of Zuo Ci, Wang Chi had not put all of his attention into the official area, and had spent most of his time researching the strange door escape technique.

Wang Bai knew that her only son, Wang Bo, was not a talented person, so before she died, she entrusted Zuo Ci with the care of Wang Bo and the Wang family's descendants. Although Zuo Ci was already an otherworldly expert, many years of close friends were about to die. His heart was filled with grief as he accepted Wang Bo's dying request with tears in his eyes.

However, Zuo Ci was only a Taoist and wouldn't affect Wang Bo's career, so Wang Bo was only in his forties and only in his forties was he able to get the position of Le Ping Prefect.

Zuo Ci also came here two months ago. Originally, Zuo Ci only came here to check on Wang Bo's recent progress. If nothing happened, Zuo Ci wouldn't stay here for long. However, when Zuo Ci saw Wang Bo's daughter, Wang Mian, he immediately realized that Wang Mian was Empress's life, but an untimely one.

After all, he was just looking at the situation hurriedly, so Zuo Ci wasn't very confident. In order to further confirm his suspicions, Zuo Ci stayed in Wang Bo's residence for a few days. Zuo Ci observed Wang Mian secretly for several days under the guise of teaching her zither arts. After that, he finally confirmed his original conclusion.

This time, Zuo Ci was in a difficult position. Everyone had their own destiny, and after their own efforts, everyone could somewhat change their fate. Wang Mian's fate could also be changed, but Zuo Ci knew that Wang Bo wanted to send his daughter to the palace for a career in the future. Zuo Ci had also hinted to Wang Bo several times, but Wang Bo never understood what Zuo Ci meant.

There was an unwritten rule of all those who studied the art of life: Do not speak too clearly, or else you will be punished by the heavens (this was deliberately frightening in ancient times). Facing the average aptitude Wang Bo, Zuo Ci could only sigh dejectedly. He also wanted to leave and leave, no longer bothering with the mortal world. However, his old friend's dying words had really troubled Zuo Ci.

A month ago, Zuo Ci bid farewell to Wang Bo, saying that he was going out to visit an old friend and would be back in a month. Actually, Zuo Ci went to look for his master, Taoist Nan Hua. However, Taoist Nan Hua had been wandering the world for many years and his tracks were uncertain. Zuo Ci was unable to find him on this trip. On the way back, Zuo Ci secretly made up his mind to explain everything to Wang Bo and then went into seclusion.

Zuo Ci's status was known to all the servants in Wu Steel Manor. Therefore, when Zuo Ci came, none of the servants would report to him first. Just when Zuo Ci asked the servant Wang Bo, who was in the living room, to rush to the door, he heard Yang Xi talk, so Zuo Ci stopped and listened for a while outside the door. When he heard Yang Xi say that he had thought of this idea himself, Zuo Ci couldn't help but shout "Yes".

On his way back, Liu also learned about the refugee incident in Yi County and secretly found out the real reason for it. Zuo Ci also predicted that Wang Bo would not be able to think of a good solution to this matter. He also thought of a solution for Wang Bo, and it was exactly the same as Yang Xi had said.

Zuo Ci did not answer Wang Bo directly. Instead, he looked Yang Xi up and down. At first glance, Zuo Ci was secretly surprised. He did not expect Zuo Ci, who was proficient in the Life Form Technique, to be unable to see through Yang Xi's Life Form at all. It was as if this person did not exist in this world. At first, Zuo Ci thought he was seeing things, but after looking him up and down, Zuo Ci was still unable to see Yang Xi's fate from Yang Xi's face. This made Zuo Ci secretly flabbergasted.

At the same time, Yang Xi was also extremely surprised. This Taoist in front of him was the Taoist who guided him to Terminal Han Dynasty in the future generations. Yang Xi couldn't help but blurt out: "Leader, you..." "Why are you here too, did you come with me?"

Yang Xi's words were very strange. Zuo Ci didn't know what Yang Xi meant, so he asked, "Benefactor, have you seen this poor Taoist before?"

Zuo Ci's words immediately made Yang Xi realize that he had recognized the wrong person. The Taoist in front of him was just too similar to that Taoist. What a great Yang Xi, his reaction was indeed fast, and he quickly followed up: "How could I forget, the reason Yang Xi came to this county is because the Taoist gave Yang Xi pointers in his dreams, saying that after I come here, I will have the help of a noble person, and in the future, I will become a great person. But when I asked for your name, the Taoist said that I would see you again when I got to Yixian. "

Zuo Ci looked at Yang Xi with all his might. Yang Xi's face was full of sincerity and there was not the slightest hint of cunning on his face. In his heart, however, he was puzzled. But when he thought about what Yang Xi said before and after, and the fact that there were no flaws in it, and then thought about it, a thirteen year old child would never be able to come up with such a serious lie, Zuo Ci believed it was true and thought it was the heavens wanting him to help this child.

At this time, after Wang Bo heard the conversation between the two, his face lit up and he said to Zuo Ci, "So it was Taoist Priest instructing this child to come here and help this nephew. I was wondering how a thirteen year old child who had not even studied for a day could think of such a good idea. Thank you very much Taoist."

He could only admit it silently. To be honest, Zuo Ci was also filled with endless curiosity about Yang Xi; there were hundreds of thousands of people in the world, but there was never a person like Yang Xi who could not see through Yang Xi's fate from his appearance.

Zuo Ci then said, "Since nephew agreed to keep this young friend here, why not leave it to the old Taoist? The old Taoist just so happens to be missing a person who can sweep the floor and serve tea to the old Taoist."

Wang Bo was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed. Zuo Ci's words implied that he wanted to stay in the Wu Steel Manor for a long period of time. This was exactly what Wang Bo wished for. Yang Xi was also overjoyed. Although he did not know who this Taoist was, just from his appearance and the great respect Wang Bo had for him, he could tell that this Taoist was not an ordinary person.
