Chapter 131: Chapter 131: No Time to Explain, Draw Your SwordShi Yaoguang didn’t know, and so she let it be, but once she learned about the old man under Lingyao Mountain, she naturally couldn’t leave him unattended. She had unscientific ways of bringing the old man up, even with his broken legs. But... The old man seemed to not meet the criteria. Shi Yaoguang looked at him with a complex expression, "Old man, I have a question for you." "Ask away! Ask away!" Shen Antai was extremely eager. Shi Yaoguang, "Do you believe in metaphysics?" Shen Antai nodded vigorously without a moment’s hesitation, "I must believe it! It was in a dream that I was guided; heaven wants me to become a man of spiritual practice. How could I not believe it when I am a chosen one by heaven? Given this opportunity by the gods, why wouldn’t I believe?" Shi Yaoguang’s eyelids twitched, "You’ve had such an extraordinary experience?" "That I have." The old man felt quite smug about himself. Shi Yaoguang looked at the old man, who was engrossed in the thought of being a chosen one, with an expression that was hard to describe. This chosen one, the old Mr. Shen, indeed had quite a tragic time. He’d run away from home for so many years, yet he was still just a mortal who had not yet touched the threshold of spiritual practice. Seeing Shi Yaoguang looking skeptical, Shen Antai immediately became indignant. He reached into his neck and pulled out a small, thoroughly green Jade Pendant. The shape of the pendant somewhat resembled a leaf. The old man fondly touched his Jade Pendant, smilingly said, "See? This is the proof of my identity! Let me tell you, that night I dreamt a voice telling me that I am the chosen one! And my mission is to become a glorious Taoist Priest!" Shi Yaoguang was noncommittal about his declaration of becoming a Taoist Priest but seemed quite interested in his Jade Pendant. It was because, this Jade Pendant, it really did not seem ordinary at all. Seeing Shi Yaoguang’s gaze on his pendant, Shen Antai couldn’t help but show a smug expression. "Do you know where this pendant came from? It was given to me by immortal in my dreams!" After speaking, he vividly recounted how the celestial in his dream had come during his sleep to tell him he would become a Taoist Priest and bestowed the Jade Pendant on him. "I was skeptical about the dream at first, but when I woke up and felt my neck, guess what? I, who never wear a necklace, found this pendant on my neck. This is the celestial gift from the dream!" "Doesn’t this prove that I am that chosen one?" In this vast world, all things are possible; Shi Yaoguang expressed her agreement with this. Shen Antai immediately beamed with pride. Unfortunately, his happiness didn’t last more than three seconds before his face fell, "The celestial who came into my dream only hinted at me being the chosen one. Why didn’t they send my master along? It’s a shame I haven’t even joined a sect yet." Seeing his long sighs, Shi Yaoguang felt somewhat melancholic, "Since you, old sir, are a chosen one, I believe that the heavens will definitely not leave out a master from their plans for you."

I believe it won’t be long before my master comes to fetch me on a seven-colored cloud!" Quan Jinbei spoke at just the right time, "Since the heavens have bestowed such a great responsibility on you, Mr. Shen, given your confidence, why not wait here?" Shen Antai’s face stiffened, disbelievingly he asked, "What... what did you say?" Quan Jinbei looked like it was the most natural thing, "I’m giving you an opportunity." "Think about it, it’s been so many years, and you haven’t met your master yet. Why is that?" The old man, "My timing is unlucky." "No, no, no." Quan Jinbei denied his reason, "How could it be bad timing? You certainly haven’t encountered enough tribulations because life has been too smooth." Shen Antai started to waver a bit, "Is that so?" Quan Jinbei affirmed confidently, "Definitely." Shen Antai showed a troubled expression, "Then... what should I do to wait for my master?" "Why not just rest here tonight? Maybe your master will come tomorrow?" Quan Jinbei suggested. "This..." Shen Antai hesitated. Quan Jinbei added fuel to the fire, "Opportunities are fleeting, are you really going to pass up such a good chance?" After thinking it over, Shen Antai said, "Then I will stay." With a curve of his lips, Quan Jinbei said, "Good, you stay here, and we’ll be off first." "Okay." After Shen Antai finished speaking, he suddenly shuddered, "Wait a minute!" He gestured as Er Kang, "If you leave, what am I supposed to do?" Quan Jinbei replied, "Wait for someone to rescue you." Shi Yaoguang remained silent; she thought what Quan Jinbei said made sense. The old gentleman had already been staying here for three days without any issues; waiting one more night wouldn’t be a big problem. After returning, they would notify the Shen Family to come and collect the old gentleman. However, things do not always go as planned; just when Shi Yaoguang thought it wasn’t bad to leave Shen Antai here alone, rain began to fall from the sky. Shi Yaoguang looked up at the sky and noticed that the rain seemed to be getting heavier. If the weather were fine, it wouldn’t be a problem for the old gentleman to stay by himself. But with this weather, it was clearly brewing a downpour. Under these circumstances, leaving the old gentleman behind would be dangerous. After much hesitation, she still didn’t want to take the risk. She turned to Quan Jinbei and discussed, "Third Master, we should take him with us after all." "The man-made cliff isn’t low, and there are only two of us, how can we take him up?" Shi Yaoguang glanced at the Luminous Pearl in his hand, and then... pulled out a sword from her space. "What is that?" Quan Jinbei thought an absurd idea. She couldn’t possibly also be capable of sword flying, could she? While he was pondering this, he heard Shi Yaoguang sigh, "It’s only because the conditions here permit, in another place, this sword would be nothing more than a decoration." Quan Jinbei’s expression was bewildered, "So, you intend to use the sword to fly?" Shi Yaoguang nodded, "That’s the only way, if the rain gets heavier later, it will be difficult for us to leave." Seeing that she had made up her mind, Quan Jinbei raised no objections. Shen Antai saw the two whispering and couldn’t help but feel curious, "Have you two come to a decision?" Quan Jinbei gave him a glance and reluctantly hummed a response. It was like doing a favor for the crusty old man. Shen Antai saw his poor attitude but didn’t take it to heart, after all... Back in the day, his temperament as an old rascal had annoyed more than a few people. He was quite self-aware about how he had defined himself. Shi Yaoguang drew a Spirit Gathering Array, concentrating the suddenly fluctuating Spiritual Power; the Spirit Sword on the ground started to increase in size. Quan Jinbei assisted the old gentleman, leading him out of the cave. The old gentleman saw the oversized sword on the ground and was dumbfounded, "What... what is this?" As the rain became heavier, Shi Yaoguang urged, "There’s no time to explain, get on the sword!"
