Chapter 815: Chapter 815: The Quirk of Fate

The old man was still inextricably lost in his own imagined anti-rescue scenario.

"..." Bai Junjun.

Seeing the enthusiastic old man had already arranged her entire life for her, Bai Junjun sighed helplessly: "Mr. Shan Hai, you might be mistaken. Not only did I come here to get you out, but I also have other tasks, so don’t worry; just cooperate with me."

"Eh?" The old man’s eyes widened.

What did he hear?

This little girl, she’s planning to stir things up here too?

Is this reliable at all?

Bai Junjun calmly gave him a glance: "You don’t need to worry about this. Speaking of which, do you really know nothing about the Saintess selection?"

Old Man Shan Hai shook his head.

On ordinary days, he was only preoccupied with sitting around waiting to die, completely ignoring the scheming tumult of the outside world.

If he knew that one day someone would come to rescue him, he would definitely have investigated everything crystal clear!

"However, my neighbor is quite the gossip. If you want to know something, I can ask tomorrow."

"Who is your neighbor, and can he be trusted?"

"Don’t worry, aside from being unable to sit still or keep quiet, a bit nitpicky, he doesn’t have any flaws, and he’s a decent person overall."

"..." Bai Junjun.

"Don’t judge him by that. His medical skills are quite good, he’s well acquainted with the Gu People, and oh, he also concocted the Hypnosis Incense. Most importantly, he has a heart that yearns for the outside world. If he knows you come from outside, he would definitely be very interested in chatting with you."

Listening, a figure popped into Bai Junjun’s mind: "Dare... I ask for the name of this neighbor of yours..."

"Old Crane."

Crane...

Bai Junjun raised her eyebrows again. Could the world really be this coincidental?

Scratching her head earnestly, Bai Junjun said: "To be honest with you, this Mr. Old Crane... might be my master, the widely acclaimed Mr. Dan He from the Itinerant World."

"???" The old man didn’t expect that the young girl who appeared in the middle of the night to be someone he knew.

Speaking of which, Old Crane seemed to have mentioned his disciples... however, the adjectives used to describe them were mainly... unsupportive and privileged.

He said that every time he took disciples, it wasn’t voluntary, as he, being used to his free and unfettered life, did not wish to be tied down by them.

But those from Poor families were easy to send off; those with royal and noble influence weren’t as easily fooled. Under their coercion and seduction, he had no choice but to reluctantly accept disciples.

To avoid trouble, he made a rule that he would only take one disciple in each place he visited, but this ended up backfiring and made even more people want to apprentice under him. Eventually, during his visit to the Imperial Capital, he was forced to accept a Noble Lady and then quickly retired from taking any more disciples.

Since these disciples weren’t voluntarily taken on, he often only taught them superficially before finding an excuse to run away.

After all, the disciples didn’t care how much they learned; they just wanted the reputation of being a high disciple of Mr. Dan He.

Later, when the war began, he passed by Witch Ancestor Mountain and was forcibly recruited, and since then he lived there.

Only upon arriving here did he, who was used to being as carefree as a cloud or a wild crane, suddenly find out how un-free this place was, hence he tried his best to escape every day.

Revisiting Old Crane’s experiences in his mind, the old man stared blankly at the young girl.

Could this be the legendary noble and privileged existence?

But... isn’t it said that those with royal and noble influence are all incompetent?

This little girl managed to come to Witch Ancestor Mountain, she doesn’t seem incompetent.

He wondered which one of Old Crane’s disciples she was.

Bai Junjun was unaware of the old man’s thoughts, and seeing him staring blankly, she just assumed the old man was shocked by this damned fate.

So she took the initiative to speak: "So, could you take me to meet my master?"

"Well... yes, I can, but... how do I know what you’re saying is true."
