147 Dispelling Doubts (1)
Looking at Zhang Zizai, whose eyes were red and tears were slowly falling from the corners of his eyes, the old Celestial Master was instantly dumbfounded. He did not expect that his long-winded words would actually make his precious disciple cry. This was too ridiculous.
He had seen Zhang Zizai since he was young. His personality was not the kind that would shatter at a touch. In the past, not to mention nagging, even if he was beaten up by his fellow disciples after angering them, not long after, he would shamelessly go to play with his fellow disciples.
But what was wrong with him today? He didn’t say anything heavy. Why was he crying?
However, at this moment, the old Celestial Master could not care less. It was not easy for him to find such a precious disciple. He was still waiting for the other party to take over his position as a Celestial Master.
If this precious disciple ran down the mountain in a fit of anger and stopped being a Daoist priest, he would have nowhere to cry.
“Zizai! What I said just now might have been a little harsh. Don’t take it to heart. Besides, you’re already an adult. If you continue to cry, your fellow disciples will laugh at you again.” After saying that, the old Celestial Master looked at Zhang Zizai, who was still crying. He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. “This time, consider it my fault. As long as you don’t cry and don’t blame me, I’ll give you a few days off and let your senior brother bring you down the mountain to play for a few days, okay?”
Seeing his master’s worried face and acting like he was coaxing a child and caring about him, the feeling that extended out of Zhang Zizai’s heart just now weakened a little. After calming down the complicated feelings in his heart, he wiped the tears off his face under the old Celestial Master’s worried gaze and said to him, “Master, I don’t blame you. I didn’t take what you said to heart. I know you care about me. I was thinking about other things just now, so I didn’t reply to you.”
Seeing Zhang Zizai say this, the old Celestial Master put down his worries and asked him, “You scared me to death. I wondered when you became a glass heart that would shatter at a touch.”
Seeing that it was not for his own reasons, the old Celestial Master instantly returned to his previous calm appearance. After touching his white beard, he slowly sat on the rock and began to ask Zhang Zizai, looking for his purpose in a panic. “Zizai, is there anything important you’re looking for this time? Why are you looking for me like this? From the abnormality reflected when I checked your body just now, I can tell that you have a lot on your mind. You’ve already reached the extent where just your thoughts can affect your blood and qi.”
Seeing that the old Celestial Master had asked him why he had come to find him, Zhang Zizai pondered for a moment and told the old Celestial Master everything he had heard in the game.
“As the guild members in my game are gathering, I went online to the guild headquarters just now. It was fine at the beginning of the guild meeting. There was nothing unusual. Then, our guild master issued a mission. I happened to be able to complete that mission, so I went straight to the guild to test the authenticity of the mission.
“I didn’t expect the other party to directly tell me my detailed information without saying anything when I first met him. This surprised me greatly. When I played games, I never revealed my information. Not to mention Longhu Mountain, I never even told anyone my name.”
Hearing this, the old Celestial Master asked Zhang Zizai a question thoughtfully. “In that case, could it have been information leaked when you bought the gaming helmet? After all, you bought it with your identity card. Coupled with your habit of playing games, it’s possible that the other party guessed it, right?”
Zhang Zizai asked the old Celestial Master directly. “Master, other than you and me, you haven’t told anyone else that I’m born with a spirit body, right?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the old Celestial Master instantly narrowed his eyes and asked him. “Could it be that the other party also knows this fact?”
As soon as the old Celestial Master finished speaking, Zhang Zizai nodded in his shocked gaze. “Yes, Master. The other party knows that I have an innate spirit body and even gave me a profession that requires an innate spirit body. Then the other party said that he had no relationship with me, did not know me, and had no contact with me.
As soon as these words were spoken, the old Celestial Master instantly felt a fog attack him. He could not see through this person who did not know Zhang Zizai but was very familiar with him. He even knew the secret of the Innate Spirit Body.
The innate spirit body’s aptitude was extremely terrifying, and it was the most suitable physique for cultivation in the world.
However, that was in the ancient times and this was the Cultivationless Age. If not for the resources left behind by his ancestors, Zhang Zizai and him would not even be able to practice martial arts, let alone cultivate.
“And from our guild master’s eyes, I only see sincerity and a firm will to pursue something. I can’t tell at all that our guild master has any ill intentions or evil thoughts towards me. Especially when the other party gives me a very familiar feeling. It’s as if he can see through me from the inside out.
“He knows everything about me and trusts me to the point where he can rely on me for life and death. This makes me want to know who our guild master is and why he trusts me.”
As Zhang Zizai spoke, the old Celestial Master felt that the fog in his mind did not dissipate. Instead, it became even thicker. He didn’t know what the guild master of Zhang Zizai’s game wanted from him, or why he had such feelings for him.
“Out of desperation to know the reason, I agreed to talk to our guild master alone after the meeting. Later on, in our game, the enemy guild attacked. As our guild master’s strength was extraordinary, he directly killed the guild master of the enemy guild.
“As a result, the enemy guild became lambs waiting to be slaughtered by our ordinary guild members under the rules of the game system.
“As I didn’t want to bully those enemy guild members who were weaker than me, so I joined our guild master and his team members who didn’t participate in the operation to destroy the enemy guild.
“In addition, I still have to wait for the meeting to end and talk to our guild master. So I stayed by their side and waited for the other guild members to complete the battle.”
