The boy suggested from behind Su Clan’s Sixteen, “How about we call Little Grandpa Seven and ask him to hurry up? I have a feeling that if my realm were to be suppressed like this for any longer, something bad will happen to my body.”
Sixteen took out her phone, and handed it to the boy.
“???” The boy.
Su Clan’s Sixteen said, “Go ahead and call Seven yourself.”
The boy took the phone, and opened the contacts list.
He subconsciously glanced at the name at the top of the contacts list—Song Shuhang.
Was this the guy Sister Sixteen was talking to just now?
Judging from their name, they should be a male cultivator.
No wonder Sister Sixteen’s voice was so gentle and soft when she was talking on the phone just now. It felt as if she was a different person. So it was because a male cultivator was on the other side of the call…
This name sounds quite familiar. Right, I seem to have heard this name from the mouths of Sister Sixteen and Grandpa Seven every now and then over the past six months.
The boy silently thought to himself, In a while, I must have a proper look at this guy.
Afterward, he swiped down the contacts list, found Su Clan’s Seven’s name, and tapped on it.
The call quickly connected.
Su Clan’s Seven’s heroic voice could be heard singing from the other side of the call. “What kind of saber is a saber~ A ghost-handle saber~ what kind of monkey is a horse monkey~ A head with a bowl-like scar~”
The boy was bewildered.
It did sound like his Grandpa Seven, but what in the world was with that trashy song? Besides, there seemed to be all kinds of instruments accompanying Seven’s singing, and there was even the pleasant sound voice of a fairy maiden singing with Seven.
Is my heavenly tribulation so close that inner demons have been born within me, and my ears have begun to hear things?
Or…
A daring thought emerged in his head, and the boy asked aloud, “Has Grandpa Seven been possessed?”
Su Clan’s Sixteen calmly answered, “No, Seven is just drunk.”
“Then, am I done for?” The boy looked up at the sky as he spoke with a stifled heart—after sneaking out of the Su Clan, his luck had been at an all-time high. He had inexplicably run into fortuitous encounters, and his cultivation soared. And it was exactly because of that that he was now at the boundary between the Second Stage and the Third Stage.
This was the reason as to why he had looked for a way to contact Su Clan’s Sixteen and travel all this way to find Su Clan’s Seven and be saved by him.
Unexpectedly, Seven was drunk.
It had to be stated that a cultivator getting drunk was different from ordinary people getting drunk…
Generally speaking, even if a cultivator drank immortal brew, those of higher realms would not easily get drunk. Correspondingly, once a cultivator with a deep cultivation level did get drunk, it would be quite troublesome to get them to sober up.
The boy fell into thought.
I’ve heard that there was once a True Monarch who had drunk too much. In the end, they were drunk for several years.
Su Clan’s Seven is also at the True Monarch Realm now. If he were to end up drunk for several years, would my life not just be over?
In a few years, the fruit trees at my grave should also have grown, right?
Having thought of this, the boy silently took out an advertisement sheet from his arms, and began contemplating.
“…” Su Clan’s Sixteen glanced at the advertisement sheet in the boy’s hand, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
It was the advertisement of True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon’s seabed cemetery—it had officially opened.
Previously, she had always thought that True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon and Yu Jiaojiao were simply joking, but from the looks of things, they were being completely serious.
❄️❄️❄️
Su Clan’s Sixteen said, “Alright, let’s take a break here.”
The boy immediately looked up. After doing so, he saw that they were at an ice cream shop.
Because of the recent incident with the Celestials, Island Master Tian Tiankong had arranged for his subordinates to move a large number of ordinary people away from Western Orchid Island.
But as the crisis related to the Celestials had only recently been dealt with, most of those who had been transferred away had not been able to come back yet. As such, the current Western Orchid Island had a lot fewer people on it, and the stores were mostly empty.
“…” The boy looked confused. “Sister, are we really members of the same Su Clan?”
I’m in danger of facing the heavenly tribulation at any moment, yet you actually brought me here to eat ice cream? Are you not even the slightest bit worried that your cute little brother here is going to die to the heavenly tribulation?
“Don’t worry,” Su Clan’s Sixteen said. “While Seven isn’t here, I am. What are you afraid of?”
“…” The boy.
Sister, you might not be worried, but I’m completely out of my wits!
Also, I remember that six months ago, you were nearly killed by your heavenly tribulation. How am I supposed not to be worried?!
Su Clan’s Sixteen glanced at the boy with a smile, as if she could easily see through all of his thoughts.
❄️❄️❄️
In the end, Song Shuhang did not choose to make a grand appearance.
After he and the Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword landed in a spot on Western Orchid Island with nobody around, Song Shuhang spread out his divine sense, and had it sweep across the entire Western Orchid Island in an instant. After he’d practiced the ‘psychic energy’ that Senior White Two had got him to train, Song Shuhang’s mastery over his divine sense had become even more perfect.
And soon enough, he managed to lock onto Su Clan’s Sixteen’s aura.
Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword hung itself on Song Shuhang’s back while also making sure that ordinary people wouldn’t be able to see it.
Song Shuhang strode to the location of Su Clan’s Sixteen’s aura. Eventually, he saw Su Clan’s Sixteen’s figure in the distance.
At this time, she was sitting in a restaurant, holding a cup of ice cream in her hand, and taking scoops out of it with a small spoon.
Sitting opposite her was a boy who looked somewhat similar to her. Song Shuhang concluded that he should also be a disciple of the Su Clan.
When Song Shuhang saw Sixteen, due to her keen intuition as a cultivator, Su Clan’s Sixteen turned her head at the same time, looked at him, and then gave him a smile—although Song Shuhang looked like a young teen at this moment, she still recognized him at a glance.
Song Shuhang waved at Su Clan’s Sixteen, and strode towards the restaurant they were at.
It looks like there isn’t much of a change to her, Song Shuhang thought to himself.
Su Clan’s Sixteen hasn’t changed, she still looks the same as she did in the past.
I thought that since her voice has become so mature on the phone, maybe her appearance has undergone a change as well.
It seems that my worries were unnecessary, Sixteen is still the same Sixteen.
But she is sitting right now, so I wonder if she has grown slightly taller? Song Shuhang couldn’t help but remember the happy look on her face when she had managed to grow a single millimeter…
At the same time, the boy opposite Su Clan’s Sixteen also saw the change in his sister’s demeanor, and immediately knew in his heart that ‘Song Shuhang’ must have come.
Hmm, let me see what kind of person you are, you mysterious ‘Fellow Daoist Song Shuhang’!
The boy quickly turned his head, and followed Su Clan’s Sixteen’s line of sight.
Afterward, he saw a young teen who looked to be about the same age as him, walking towards the small store they were in.
So young?
I didn’t expect Sixteen to like this kind of guy.
This was not what the boy had expected—he’d originally thought that Sixteen liked the mature and tall uncle-type male cultivators.
In the past, the boy had heard from the elders in his clan that when a cultivator looked for a dao companion, they would always subconsciously look for someone who could make up for their shortcomings. For example, those who were petite would generally look for those who were tall and big.
Going by that logic, shouldn’t Sixteen look for someone who has a large build?
While he was in thought, the boy’s heart suddenly thumped.
Wait a minute, this guy looks familiar.
He exclaimed, “Ancient… Ancient Sage Tyrannical Dragon!”
On Song Shuhang’s body, ‘Nobody under the heavens doesn’t know of me’ had taken effect, and his ‘Ancient Sage Name’ appeared.
Ancient Sage Tyrannical Dragon = Demon Sage Tyrannical Scholar = Profound Sage Tyrannical Song.
A formula quickly formed in the boy’s mind.
He involuntarily covered his stomach with his hands, while his face turned pale.
It’s actually Profound Sage Tyrannical Song. The first Sage in 1,000 years, and the most terrifying man who has appeared in the cultivation world in the past 1,000 years.
Is he the ‘Song Shuhang’ Sixteen was talking to just now?
Wait, maybe Profound Sage Tyrannical Song is just passing by? The boy raised his head again, and quietly looked towards Song Shuhang.
When he looked over, he saw that the renowned ‘Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’ had entered the store, and was looking toward Sixteen and smiling. The boy seemed to see a terrifying light glowing in the other party’s eyes.
The boy transmitted his voice. “Big Sis, the Song Shuhang you were talking to just now can’t be him, right?”
He didn’t even dare to speak out loud, afraid of his voice being heard by Profound Sage Tyrannical Song.
Su Clan’s Sixteen looked at the boy curiously. “Are you afraid of him?”
“In the entire universe, there are few who aren’t afraid of him.” The boy shrank back. Is it too late for me to run away now?
Wait, it’s too late, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song has already seen me.
If I run away now, it might cause Profound Sage Tyrannical Song to be dissatisfied. At that point, would I be completely disintegrated after receiving a stare from him?
“Hello~ Beautiful lady~” While the boy’s thoughts were in a mess, two tall men came over, and forced their way to their table.
Su Clan’s Sixteen looked up, and glanced at the two men.
“Sister, you look so cute.” The man on the left revealed a handsome smile, and said, “Would you like to have a drink with us?”
Su Clan’s Sixteen replied, “Not interested.”
“Haha, miss, are you visiting Western Orchid Island? We brothers can act as tour guides for you.” With how comfortable they were chatting her up, the two men seemed to be very experienced in this regard.
“Big Sis, I really feel that there’s a problem with your physique. You really should have it checked when you have the time,” said the boy by transmitting his voice to her—he felt he’d seen such a scene at least five times..
