A blazing gale of vast power swept out from the depths of the Star Realm. Everyone inside and outside the Star Realm was stunned and turned to look, only to see a crimson streak shoot forth. When the red light faded, an old man stood proudly in midair, his red hair and red robe making him particularly conspicuous among the crowd.
The hunched old man known as the Nether Bone Saint narrowed his eyes and stared fixedly at the red-haired Dou Sheng who had suddenly emerged from within the Star Realm. He let out a sinister chuckle. "So it's you, Tang San!"
"What? Senior is called Tang San?!"
I was utterly shocked, staring dumbfounded at the red-haired old man who had suddenly appeared above my head. Wasn't he that reclusive Dou Sheng expert from Burning Flame Valley? How could he have that name?
"Tang San" glanced down at me and asked curiously, "Is the name Tang San that unpleasant?"
I hurriedly shook my head. "Not at all, not at all! The Three Luminaries are the sun, moon, and stars; the Three Powers are heaven, earth, and man. Senior taking 'Three' as your name makes it an excellent name indeed. As expected of a Dou Sheng expert—even a single name puts people like us to shame!"
"Oh."
Tang San nodded, then looked down at me and said earnestly, "This old man's surname is Tang and given name is Huoyun. I ranked third among my brothers of that generation, so you... should address me as Fire Cloud Old Ancestor."
Me: "???"
Have you trained until your brain broke? A dignified Dou Sheng finally comes out for once, and instead of fighting the Hall of Souls, you're performing comedy here with me?
A dark line crossed my face as I cupped my hands.
