Ding Hao sneered and said, “Don’t say anything embarrassing. I have invested at least 60,000 gold here for more than half a year. At least one third of it has flowed into your pocket, right? Can I still exploit you? Are you kidding me, old man?”
“Er…” Uncle Tianshu suddenly wilted. “You are so f*cking cunning. You make such clear calculations… I’m scared of you.”
Ding Hao felt happy and said with a smile, “But then again, you are experienced in training new people. Why don’t you stay here and continue our cooperation?”
“I’d like to stay, but…” Uncle Tianshu’s expression suddenly became serious. He glanced at all the plants and trees around the Invincible School of Martial Arts and said with some emotion, “It’s a pity that it is the end of our fate now. I’ve done all the things I should. I would like to wander around the world, being unrestrained. I’m a solitary cloud and a wild crane, a person who is like a fairy, yearning for freedom. Haha, after a long stay in one place, I wouldn’t be used to it. Haha, the world is so big, that’s where my home is.”
Speaking those last few words, the yellow-toothed man involuntarily became lewd again.
“A solitary cloud and a wild crane?”
“A person like a fairy?”
Ding Hao frowned. “How do you look like a solitary cloud and a wild crane? How do you look like a fairy?” Ding Hao wanted to tell him sincerely, “Hey, old man, why do you give up treatment? You shouldn’t have stopped taking medicine.”
With a deep breath, Ding Hao held back, since he wanted to smash the old man’s f*cking face to pieces. He frowned and asked, “You’re leaving?”
Although this wretched old man was a profiteer. He was also extremely stingy, so that he had often embezzled Ding Hao’s money for the children. Ding Hao could see that Tianshu was not a bad person and had feelings for the children in the slums. Otherwise, he would not have established that kind of funny Invincible School of Martial Arts in the slums. As for cheating Ding Hao out of his money, people in the slums were all so poor, how much money could he get by cheating?
Tianshu’s background was very mysterious, and Ding Hao had never seen it through.
First, he sold Ding Hao an incomplete copy of One Saber to Begin Your Journey Technique. The Saber Master, an old monster, took fancy to him, which meant that he was not so simple.
Furthermore, Ding Hao was in the Primordial Grand-master Realm, but he still could not see through Tianshu’s real strength. Sometimes he thought the wretched old man was no better than a common person. Sometimes he thought that the old man’s strength was above Qi Qingshan. Even with an intuition as sharp as a knife of As Divine Power As Purgatory, the fourth level of Mind Essential, Ding Hao could not determine Tianshu’s real realm.
That was the reason why Ding Hao visited Tianshu first, after coming out of his seclusion and after he had visited Gao Xue’er and his other friends.
He wanted to figure out the wretched old man’s real background.
Unexpectedly after a few words, the wretched old man wanted to leave.
“Yes, I am leaving,” Tianshu said seriously.
“Where are you going?”
“Who knows…?”
“Well, is it because everyone here knows your true colors and you cannot continue your cheating anymore? you have to leave?”
“You brat, you …hehe, your prodding method does not work on me.”
“…Old man, are you really willing to leave your favorite disciples such as Huanhuan, Nizi and Xue’er?”
“I have to, even if I am unwilling to.”
“Old man, are you playing a tongue twister with me?”
“Hehe. Are you unwilling to part with me? No matter what you say, I have to leave now.”
“F*ck.”
“Talk politely! How can you curse at me?”
“You were pretentious first.”
“Haha. You are so angry since you must be unwilling to let me go… well, before I leave, I will tell you a secret.”
“You’d better not.”
“Hehe. You don’t want to know it, but I must tell you… Tianshu is just my first name, do you know my last name?”
“No.”
“Haha. Let me tell you. My last name is Muhuang, hahaha. I’m leaving.”
When he mentioned that, the wretched old man laughed. Before the laughter stopped, his whole person suddenly disappeared in front of Ding Hao without any sign. Just then, no matter how horrifying Ding Hao’s perceptivity was and how powerful his divine sense was, he didn’t feel any mysterious Qi fluctuation, not to mention any spatial fluctuation, as if that person had never appeared in front of him.
“What realm has such strength?”
Suddenly Ding Hao felt astonished and understood it immediately. His suspicions were correct. The wretched old man was a mysterious person indeed. Not to mention his other skills, his move just then could not be done by any other superior in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, including Qi Qingshan, his master at the senior level.
Furthermore, not even the Saber Master and the Sword Master could; the two old monsters had not perceived the wretched old man’s excellence.
“Such a powerful existence had been hiding in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect for such a long time. Why did he do it in a such a way?”
“Muhuang… Muhuang Tianshu?!” Ding Hao spoke the name smoothly. All of a sudden, a lightning flashed in his brain and he was stunned.
That mysterious superior who took his sister Ding Ke’er was named Muhuang Tianji!
“Muhuang Tianshu!”
“Muhuang Tianji!”
“Two names, only one character difference!”
“It wasn’t an absolute coincidence.”
“There should be some connection between the two people, or maybe both of them come from the Southern Land? An elder brother and a younger sister? A father and a daughter? Or maybe just the same person?”
Ding Hao really wanted to face that humble and wretched old man and ask him to come clean on that. Instantly, he rose to the sky and stayed there. The powerful divine awareness was released like a tide. Unfortunately, there was no more of Muhuang Tianshu’s figure and aura in the vast area.
“He had stayed in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, because there were some reasons that he had to stay. Now he left, because there had to be some reason that he had to leave. Someday, I must figure it out. Maybe I can find Muhuang Tianji and bring Ke’er back.”
Ding Hao secretly vowed in his heart.
He planned to leave to look for his sister, immediately after his strength reached the Primordial Grand-master Realm.
But at the moment he had a three-year appointment with Mu Tianyang, so he had to stay.
Meanwhile, the more powerful his strength was, the wider his vision was. As such, the more things he would get to know and the better he would understand the world.
Ding Hao began to gradually understand that in the common people’s eyes, the Primordial Grand-master Realm was an existence that could be expected but not reached. However, in those true superiors’ eyes, the Primordial was just the basis of the way of martial arts. With the strength in the Primordial Grand-master Realm, it was almost impossible for a person to go out of the Snow Province, the Northern Land, and to go across the Divine Land in the Central Plains to finally arrive in the legendary Southern Land.”
“The world is too vast and too dangerous. A person in the Primordial Grand-master Realm is far from being able to go there!”
Ding Hao sighed and left.
