Not long after meeting the Qiongqi Mountain Master, Su Yi began secluded cultivation that very day.
Everyone was utterly baffled.
"Old Qiongqi, just what great gift did you give brother Su to make someone as laid-back as him become so diligent and hardworking?"
Wang Zhiwu asked.
"I don't know."
The Qiongqi Mountain Master shook his head. "I was merely a runner doing odd jobs."
Wang Zhiwu sneered, only half convinced. "An errand boy who could kill Li Shouhu's Great Dao Avatar? Old man, quit playing dumb and tell me what's going on!"
Divine Owl, Lu Shu, and the others were all present.
Hearing this, their hearts pounded in alarm. Wang Zhiwu was far too bold. Was he not afraid of offending the deeply hidden Qiongqi Mountain Master, who was clearly playing the pig to eat the tiger?
Yet the Qiongqi Mountain Master did not mind at all. Smiling, he shook his head. "To know is to know; not to know is not to know. If Daoist Wang insists on an answer, why not ask Daoist Su yourself?"
In truth, he was also deeply puzzled.
Earlier, a wisp of his master's imprint power had appeared and spoken privately with Su Yi.
But as for what the two had discussed, the Qiongqi Mountain Master had no idea.
Still, this alone had made him realize that his master valued Su Yi far more highly than he had imagined!
For that reason, the Qiongqi Mountain Master had long been reflecting inwardly. When he had spoken with Su Yi before, had his attitude been insufficiently humble and welcoming...?
Thus, how could he possibly quibble with Wang Zhiwu now?
He was an old fellow who had quietly masqueraded as a Heavenly Sovereign in the Eternal Heaven Domain for countless years. He still possessed that much tolerance.
