Chapter 95: Chapter 95 Old Man Sikong_1

"Hmm hmm hmm..."

"Don’t cry."

"Hmm hmm hmm..."

"Please, please don’t cry."

"Hmm hmm hmm..."

"I will treat you to some delicious food."

"Hmm... What are we eating?"

"..."

In an isolated countryside, a fair-skinned girl sits on the ground, knees pulled up to her chest, sobbing heavily.

Chu Liang stands to the side, appearing somewhat helpless, trying repeatedly to soothe her.

Earlier, he had wrapped little Liu Xiaoyu up like a sticky rice dumpling to protect her, launched her away, and asked her to wait for him. However, so many things happened afterward that he almost forgot about her.

After the Green Leaf Magical Instrument flew for hundreds of miles, it fell into this desolate countryside due to insufficient True Qi. The Defense Array Pattern couldn’t sustain any longer, opening up the sticky rice dumpling leaf.

After Liu Xiaoyu emerged, she obediently waited here.

She waited and waited.

By the time Chu Liang finally found her using the response of the Magical Instrument, it was already deep into the night. The little girl was waiting here, sleepy and hungry, almost falling asleep.

As soon as she saw Chu Liang, she was overwhelmed with grievances and cried for a long while, before finally stopping.

"I’ll take you home, and you can eat whatever you want." Chu Liang, seeing her attitude change, immediately promised.

When he took her back to the Southern Border City, the performance was already over. The crowd was in the process of leaving in droves. The grand event was vibrant and exhilarating from any angle.

The previous incidents would certainly spread throughout the Yu Dynasty in a short time. In a way, Xue Lingxue should thank Chu Liang. Her show, this tour, will reach an unprecedented level of popularity that would normally be hard to obtain.

The moment Empress Feng saw Liu Xiaoyu, she revealed a delighted expression, "Whose adorable little girl is this, so cute..."

"Master, this is the Koi Transformation I mentioned earlier." Chu Liang murmured.

"Ah, The little critter is a Demonic Spirit, even more interesting." Empress Feng’s eyes lit up with interest as she embraced Liu Xiaoyu’s neck and mussed up her hair.

However, it’s good that his master likes this fish. Chu Liang had been considering; if they really couldn’t find her sister, he would bring her back to Silver Sword Peak for now.

On one hand, he couldn’t bear the thought of leaving her to fend for herself; on the other hand, with the Koi present, the benefits it brought to activities like box opening and cultivation were apparent.

"Hmm Hmm Hmm..." Liu Xiaoyu spoke with a pout, her hair tousled from the rough handling: "What about the promise to help me find my sister and treat me to delicious food..."

"No problem." Chu Liang nodding his head with a smile.

At this time, everyone had returned to Li Family Village, and he first asked the servants to prepare food. He then shared his thoughts with his master.

After Empress Feng heard the girl’s entire story, she immediately wrapped her up in her arms and said: "You’re coming back to Shu Mountain with us, and I’ll help you find your sister. If we can’t find her, then I’ll be your sister from now on!"

"Hmm..." Chu Liang instantly said, "Master, this isn’t appropriate, right?"

If Liu Xiaoyu became his master’s younger sister, wouldn’t he have to call her ’second aunt’ according to their seniority?

"That’s right, it isn’t appropriate to keep a Demonic Spirit at Shu Mountain as it is." Empress Feng thought for a bit, "If it won’t work, I’ll just take her as my junior sister. Then she will belong to the Shu Mountain Sect."

Okay then.

She really insists on being a generation above me.

Liu Xiaoyu, enjoying her food, immediately brightened up at these words and beamed, "Okay, thank you Sister Feng."

Chu Liang’s expression fell.

Well, it’s official now.

...

On Shu Mountain, Guxuan Peak.

This peak lay on the edge of the Cloud Sea, somewhat separate from the rest of the mountain range, seeming a little out of place. It got its name, Guxuan, for being solitary and suspended on the outside.

There stood a Dragon Fishing Pool at the top of Guxuan Peak, and by it sat a man with thick white hair. Dressed in a loose white robe, he sat by the bank, holding a long rod, seemingly fishing or perhaps dozing off.

Everyone in the Shu Mountain Sect knew that Old Man Sikong had been fishing here for over a hundred years.

Among the masters of the Thirty-Six Peaks, he was the oldest and most senior. He was of the same generation as the four Zhenshan Elders, and even a few years older than the Sect Leader of Shu Mountain.

Some of the disciples he took in his early years have now become masters of other peaks. Now, Guxuan Peak no longer accepts many disciples, with only a few inheriting his unique divine skills.

Despite having grown up on Shu Mountain, it was Chu Liang’s first time seeing him.

Because he was the best diviner on Shu Mountain.

"Uncle Sikong, I need your help," Empress Feng said heartily as she ran to the edge of the Dragon Fishing Pool with two young ones.

Everyone knew that Old Man Sikong was here, but few dared to bother him, for he was indeed an almost immortal-like existence on Shu Mountain.

However, Empress Feng didn’t care about that.

She was indeed quite fond of the little girl Liu Xiaoyu, and this visit was to fulfill her previous promise of helping to find her sister.

She didn’t know where her sister was now. If she was near the Southern Border City, perhaps the Confucian Method of Finding People might be effective. But now, unsure of her location, divination became the best choice.

Old Man Sikong gave an impression of eccentricity to younger generations like Chu Liang, but upon their encounter, he discovered Sikong was a smiling, modest old man.

He was no different from the old men who played chess under the large tree at the village entrance.

Sitting by the quiet silver pond, holding the fishing rod, time passed leisurely over a hundred years.

The old man looked at Empress Feng with a smile, then at Chu Liang and Liu Xiaoyu behind her, and said, "You’re asking about this young girl?"

"See, you are a real seer, recognizing it at a glance," Empress Feng said, lavishing him with praise as she sought his help.

"The koi has strong luck. Even without seeking me, she would accomplish what she wanted," said Old Man Sikong, fishing out a turtle shell from his bosom, "those you wish to see, you will meet eventually."

"Don’t beat around the bush, can you please just take a look and tell us where her sister is so we can go find her?" Empress Feng said.

She was straightforward and couldn’t stand these puzzling speeches.

"Oh, you..." Old Man Sikong shook his head helplessly.

Liu Xiaoyu voiced out, "Please, grandpa. Even if I can’t find my sister, I want to at least know she’s safe... I’m really worried about her."

"Alright, alright." Old Man Sikong nodded cheerily.

He lifted the turtle shell, and sparks of blue flame spurted from his right fingertip, burning under the shell. Several golden lines lit up on the shell, circled a few times, before it cracked with a "clank".

Old Man Sikong looked at the crack and pondered for a moment before lifting his head to speak to Liu Xiaoyu, "Your destiny ties are in Shu Mountain. Stay here in peace, perhaps there will be a chance for the Dragon transformation in the future. Your sister has her destiny elsewhere, she also has her own Dragon Gate..."

"She...," Liu Xiaoyu blinked her eyes, "she’s alright?"

"She’s not only safe but she’ll also be doing very well. You and your sister will meet again in the near future." Old Man Sikong’s voice was steady, comforting, "If you go to her now, it may disturb her destiny. It’s better to wait for the right moment."

"Ah...," Liu Xiaoyu nodded slightly, "Okay."

Although a little disappointed, hearing the old man’s assuring words that hinted at good fortune, she wasn’t that worried.

He was very trustworthy.

After getting their answers, the three from Silver Sword Peak prepared to leave. Right as Chu Liang was about to leave, Old Man Sikong asked, "Young man, what’s your name?"

"Me?" Upon hearing this, Chu Liang answered, "I am Chu Liang."

Old Man Sikong looked at him intently, his expression thoughtful, even slightly puzzled. After a while, he nodded and said, "I will remember, you can go now."

Chu Liang was a little puzzled, but he didn’t say much. Turning around, he left with his master.

Long after they departed, Old Man Sikong was still staring in the direction they had left, his eyes slightly constricted, deep in thought.

Suddenly.

His fishing rod trembled a little.

"Hm?"
