Chapter 757: Chapter 9 Way of Politeness [2 in 1]_2

"Perhaps it was because of my short lifespan, born yesterday and dying today, that I treated each day as a new life, as a cycle of reincarnation. Over time, I even came to grasp the Dao of Reincarnation amidst countless cycles of life and death, even with my dull spirituality. It was in fact a mercy of the heavens."

Surely this was destiny.

Though he spoke lightly of it, Chu Liang understood well the difficulty of it. The Law-enforcement Elder of Shu Mountain was also a practitioner of the Dao of Reincarnation, undergoing a cycle of reincarnation each day, waking up as a new person each day and it took undetermined period to make progress.

Elder Mayfly’s humble origin, however, gave him an advantage in comprehending the Dao of Reincarnation. For fragile mayflies, wasn’t every day indeed a new life?

"Humble origins are not a shame."

Elder Mayfly went on: "After I took the helm of Tianyuan, it became my pride. Previously, I lived cautiously, considering each extra day lived as an earned bonus, but after achieving the Dao, my ambitions started to grow."

"I began to control the Sea Clan using countless mayflies, aiming to become the lord of the Southern Sea. If I were to succeed, then all the Sea Clan in the Ruins and even those in the Southern Sea would become my puppets, obeying my commands and serving under me."

Listening to an elderly man who’s so humble recount his sordid past as this great Demon Head, was indeed somewhat disorienting.

Remember, Chu Liang didn’t dare offer a single word of praise while listening earlier, worried the old man would feel compelled to kneel down in gratitude.

"At that time, it was also thanks to Brother Wu Chao..." The intended term of ’old thief’ almost slipped out, but he corrected himself promptly to a more respectful name,"He fought with me, defeated me and I was sealed here. For two thousand years in this place, doing the same thing every day."

He solemnly uttered two words: "Reflection."

"After reflecting for such a long period, I’m deeply aware of my mistakes." Elder Mayfly said with sincere devotion, "If all the capable ones in the world behaved as I did, what chaos would there be among the Mortal Realm? I wielder the Dao of Reincarnation, but had no regard for others’ lives, and forgot how difficult it was for me to survive initially. I was truly ungrateful. Now, when I think back, I am deeply remorseful, extremely remorseful."

Chu Liang remained silent in the face of his reflection.

After all, they weren’t fools. No matter how polite the man in front of them was, he was a cultivator at the Peak of the Eighth Realm, capable of easily killing them despite being suppressed for two thousand years. They had no appropriate response when he was reflecting.

Proper reverence should be given to a cultivator.

"Yes, yes, yes..." Lin Bei said loudly before Chu Liang had finished his thought. "Master, it’s so great that you have reflected. With your cultivation, if you turned over a new leaf, it would be a great fortune to the Mortal Realm."

Um...

There are indeed some fearless folks in this world.

"Absolutely, hehe." Elder Mayfly obediently nodded, "So I dared not to ask you to let me go before Brother Wu Chao speaks. I would simply like to make a small request. If it’s convenient, could you three help me pass a message to Brother Wu Chao through the Sea Clan?"

"Tell him... I, Mayfly has realiazed my mistake and hope to see him to confess face to face. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t want to let me go. I just want a chance."

Listening to this request, Chu Liang felt that it was not too much to ask. He immediately said, "If we can get out, it would certainly be no problem to pass on a message. But we..."

"Oh." Elder Mayfly interrupted, "I may not be talented, but when asking for someone’s help, I would certainly lend a hand to help you get out of here. Even though I cannot leave this cave due to the seal on me, it should be no problem for me to help you leave."

The level of politeness he exhibited seriously made one wonder if there was a more presumptuous request at hand.

But on second thoughts, his help to get them out of there indeed was lifesaving, and their job to pass the message was just a small favor.

His humble manner was indeed heartbreaking to hear.

Lin Bei promptly patted his chest and said, "Master, rest assured. As long as you can get out, we brothers will take care of this matter."

"Well..." Elder Mayfly paused, then said with trembling hands, "If I can get out one day, I will certainly repay your kindness. Right now I really have no way to repay you, how about I kneel and kowtow to you in gratitude?"

"No, no, no!" "Master, you don’t have to be so formal." "Master, really don’t need..."

"I must insist."

"Really no need,really no need."

"..."

They quickly stopped him, not daring to accept such a grand salute. After a while of tugging back and forth, Elder Mayfly finally got up and guided the three out of the cave.

"Wherever my red mist reaches can temporarily shield the Divine Thunder, you can boldly move along this route." Elder Mayfly stood at the entrance of the cave and bowed, "I can only see you to this point. I’ll leave the rest to you."

"Please wait for good news, Master." Lin Bei waved his hand.

Blocking the Divine Thunder wasn’t so easy for Elder Mayfly, otherwise he wouldn’t need to come out for just a quarter of an hour each day to absorb spirituality. Only now, someone was finally able to pass a message for him, so he pushed himself to open a road for them.

A red mist spread from the cave again, slowly extending forward, paving a road that no Divine Thunder could penetrate.
