Liao has always insisted that he is the Master of Blue Waves. However, now everyone knows he was not Lin Luoran’s uncle. Now even these young people ignore him. Who will call him a master?
Lin Luoran has a lot of questions about this man. With her previous state of mind, she may catch Liao. And then, she will never give him any food before he answers her questions.
“Actually, I’m very curious. What exactly do you look like, Liao?”
Seeing Liao slipping down from horseback in a funny way, Lin Luoran is really curious. According to the sequential order but not the chronological order, when she saw Liao for the first time, he was a weather-beaten old fisherman by Dongting Lake. He was making fish soup in the most primitive way and his home was a boat. He was greedy but brought her and Rong Donglin to Mount Jun and found the Dragon Palace.
For the second time, they met in ancient Babylon which is three thousand years ago. He was a crazy middle-aged man coming and going free in the Tower of Babel.
For the third time, they met in the distant N2 trading star. The old man with a pug nose sent her the second half of The Great Truths that the Lin family has lost for many years. Lin Luoran can’t convince herself that these things are all some coincidences.
After many years, Liao is still the same man. Lin Luoran, as the cultivator of Gathering Vitality, looks at him with her “cleared eyes “. She finds that he is still a terrible old man without any personal ability. It’s easy to explain why he looked different for the first two times. It’s over two thousand years so it’s reasonable that he changed from a middle-aged man to an old fisherman. However, this time, he is totally an alien. Lin Luoran looks at him for a long time and she doesn’t see any trace of illusion spell.
How did Liao “change his face”?
When Liao slips off the horse, he is almost kicked by a horse. It totally destroys his pretentious master temperament. The old man doesn’t care about other juniors and says shamelessly.
“Lord Liao has helped you a lot. You have to look after him.”
Lin Luoran coughs. He is an old monster who has lived for three thousand years. Maybe when she is dead, Liao will still be alive. Maybe he is the one who should look after her.
“Yes, you have done so much for me. Since you don’t dislike calling yourself my uncle, can I call you Uncle Liao?”
Dragon Palace suddenly recognized her as the owner and this must have something to do with Liao. Without this stuff, apotheosizing herself will definitely be impossible. Then in the years when the earth was in turmoil, the Lin family would have no place to stay.
Liao is very satisfied with Lin Luoran’s attitude and looks at everyone around triumphantly. Lin Luoran has recognized him as her uncle. These juniors are so relieved. For the past few months, they have not been taken advantage of by this tricky old man.
Several people cluster round Lin Luoran and Liao, and then they go back to the castle. Lin Luoran is a brand-new Gathering Vitality cultivator now. Four young people urge to celebrate. Liao totally agrees. He bluntly says that he hasn’t eaten authentic Huaxia dishes for a long time and encourages Lin Luoran to cook it herself.
Lin Luoran doesn’t say no. She says that she will invite the Windsors to dinner tomorrow. They can casually eat something today and then they will have a big meal tomorrow.
Colin reacts immediately. Does Lin Luoran want to leave?
Colin is now less and less of the former noble son of the Caesar Star. Along the way, interstellar travel has not only broadened Colin’s vision. Now he doesn’t want to get power in the family so much and he has a faint fantasy in his heart. He is envious of the siblings of the Ma family who can enhance their personal ability.
Who in this world can become an immortal? People are always fighting for the power and position in the world. As Huaxia’s old saying goes, people will all become a cup of dust in the end. However, Colin also knows well that the Alpha Alliance has been studying for so many years. For cultivators’ stuff, one thing is certain. Except for the Huaxia bloodline on earth, other planetary life forms cannot enhance their personal ability.
“Colin, this one is for you.”
Colin gets a little distracted. Lin Luoran’s voice comes from the front so he takes two quick steps.
Lin Luoran hands him a necklace.
Colin takes it in doubt. The necklace is of good craftsmanship. The silver chain goes through a jadeite sacred pearl. A large bead is set with a small bead, delicate hollowing. The outermost sacred pearl is as big as a dove egg. It is hollowed out with many layers. Through seven or eight jade layers, something about the size of a soybean is faintly spinning in the jadeite ball.
A strong herbal smell comes and Colin feels refreshing. He feels so energetic and indescribable peaceful.
Liao turns his head and says twice, “The essence of ginseng of ten thousand years… niece, you are really generous. Why don’t you respect your uncle and give him two ginsengs?”
Colin almost falls down. Ginseng of ten thousand years? His feet are weak when hearing this.
Lin Luoran takes out the same type but more delicate jadeite necklace to hand it to Han Weiya. Seeing Ma Shuangshuang staring at her, she explains with a smile, “You guys just begin to develop your personal ability. Auntie hopes you can rely on your own strength to build yourselves up.”
Ma Yiming nods sensibly. Even Ma Shuangshuang understands it.
She and her elder brother are cultivators now. Training Reiki is the right way for them. Han Weiya is her good friend and even rhetoric Colin is her good elder brother. They can’t develop their personal ability. It is normal for Aunt Lin to care about their bodies.
Ma Shuangshuang doesn’t care about it anymore when she figures this out. After entering the castle to freshen up, Lin Luoran remembers that she has to test the siblings of the Ma family.
She has left for a few months. Ma Shuangshuang now can cast a spell-like “Immanence of Spring” immediately. Even Ma Yiming has the ability to confront the enemy.
Han Weiya holds the medicinal jadeite necklace given by Lin Luoran and can’t put it down. She says with joy, ” Aunt Lin, when you were not here, I can see Yiming and Shuangshuang working hard every day on the mountain on the other side of the manor.”
Even the cyan little fox can’t help complaining and says that the siblings of the Ma family practice spell so hard that they totally destroy the wood across the river. Now the fiercest black panther in the forest turns its head when it sees Ma Shuangshuang. This animal is now terribly afraid of the little girl who caught it and let it go for countless times.
Lin Luoran is very satisfied but she still jokes, “You have ruined the hilltops owned by the royal family of Nami. In this case, you have to entertain the fatty well tomorrow.”
Ma Shuangshuang nods. Human beings are the most susceptible creatures. Judith often comes to the manor for food and these young people have developed a good relationship. She also knows that Lin Luoran has gathered vitality and probably the day to leave Nami Star is approaching. Thinking of separation, she feels really sad.
Everyone has this idea and they all want to entertain the Windsors well tomorrow.
After haunting Lin Luoran for some interesting things about her journey, they are still so excited. In the midnight, they finally go to sleep.
The temperature is pleasant in spring and the breeze is blowing at night. Newly grown grass around the castle is swaying with the wind. Liao was embarrassed on horseback during the day so he runs out to practice equestrianism at night. Lin Luoran thinks that he is like an old child and she follows him out.
“Uncle Liao, I have a lot of questions in my mind. If I can’t get the answers, I really can’t sleep. Can you help me solve the puzzles?”
Liao is totally fine with his alien appearance. He smiles badly, “Do you want to ask things about the Tower of Babel?”
Lin Luoran is moved but she shakes her head, “The question I really want to know is why you gave me the Dragon Palace.”
Liao is stunned and then laughs, “I had guarded the Dragon Palace for many years without getting paid for the old dragon in Dongting. When I saw someone wanting to take over, sure enough, I had to get rid of it quickly.”
Is it just that? Lin Luoran thinks that it has something to do with ginseng which she compensated Liao in the Tower of Babel. However, the old man will never admit it. She lowers her head and thinks for a while.
“The second question, Uncle Liao, even only counted from the ancient Babylon period, you are already three thousand years old this year. The cultivator in the Gathering Vitality period has a life span of only one thousand. I have not heard of cultivators above the Divinization period. I am really curious about your background. ”
To be honest, Liao is really nice to her. He had the Lin family’s nameless medicine book. It is hard for Lin Luoran not to say that she thinks he is an old friend of the Lins. There is a faint thought in her mind. Maybe Momo is the ancestor of the Lin family. Otherwise, why could Lin get the Great Truths and sacred pearl space?
These questions have been buried in Lin Luoran’s mind for a long time and she hopes that Liao can solve some of the mysteries.
Liao’s pug nose looks red and swollen in the moonlight. The old man doesn’t answer her question but asks Lin Luoran for a drink.
Lin Luoran asks for something and she is not stingy. She takes out the best fruit wine given by the old monkey. It is so delicious that greedy Liao’s nose twitches and he drinks up a jar of wine immediately.
Beyond Lin Luoran’s expectation, the capacity for liquor of this strange old man is amazingly bad. After the monkey fruit wine enters his belly, he can’t speak clearly.
“I know that you are actually suspicious… No one will believe me. I forget how long I have lived. In fact, I haven’t felt the approaching of death. I’m afraid I still have to live endlessly like an old turtle… for you, juniors, you may think it is an amazing bless that one can live endlessly and easily. However, what’s the point if I can’t remember who I am?
To tell you the truth, after living a long time, I have got many things by coincidence. Whether it is Dongting Dragon Palace or the stupid book of your Lin family… they all come to me by themselves… You think I am willing to take care of your stupid things? Seeing the earth changing a little bit, witnessing so many secrets of the mortal world and the world of cultivation, knowing secrets of others… My last name is Liao… or what is my last name… I don’t actually even know myself. Don’t you think it’s pitiful?”
Liao babbles a lot. He finally cries out and falls asleep on the grass, forgetting himself.
Lin Luoran looks at the old man curled up into a ball and sighs in her heart. She may not get an uncle but have a troublesome old child.
