1309: Chapter 385: Resentful Elder_3 1309: Chapter 385: Resentful Elder_3 I met with the four ancestors twice and gained opportunities on both accounts.
When Su He opened his eyes, everyone had already left one by one.
It wasn’t until the people he knew departed that the space channel flickered, and Elder Ge quietly sneaked back.
As soon as he came through the channel, he saw Su He baring a mouthful of sharp teeth, grinning at him.
Elder Ge was instantly stunned.
“Teacher…”
Before Su He could finish, Elder Ge jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: “Please, great ancestor, allow this old Daoist to live a couple more years.
Accumulate some virtue, spare my life, please.”
The Dragon Turtle might not care about the mentor-disciple hierarchy, but he did!
Su He burst into laughter: “How about we each stick to our own titles?
You call me Ancestor Master, and I call you Teacher?”
Elder Ge shivered: “No!
Spare me!
I want to live!”
“Fine then!” Su He shrugged his Turtle Shell: “You continue to call me Turtle Kid, and I’ll still call you old man, eh~”
Only then did Elder Ge breathe a sigh of relief, and his look towards Su He was full of delight.
The Turtle Kid really had grown up; although his size hadn’t changed much, the once little turtle had truly become a magnificent Giant Turtle.
A presence that commanded the wind and clouds.
“Have you…
ever returned to Qingyuan?” Elder Ge asked softly.
“I went back a few decades ago, but in these decades, I’ve rarely even returned home, busying myself with who knows what every day.”
Thinking about it, Su He seemed to have been either chasing people or being chased for the past few decades.
He really was a bit of a home-avoider.
Elder Ge’s eyes held a touch of resentful yearning.
If mindlessly busying oneself could reach the Immortal Sovereign Realm, he would also like to try being aimlessly busy.
“Tinghai Lake is still there for you; Xia Dali hasn’t let anyone touch it.”
Su He became calm for a moment.
It had been decades since Feng Yi Ju’s death, and decades since Xia Dali had become the Sect Leader…
It seemed…
he had broken his promise to return for the Qingyuan Grand Sacrifice!
Su He smiled: “When I go back, I’ll turn Tinghai Lake into a Travelling Palace.”
Special construction wouldn’t be necessary.
The battle had destroyed everything in Tinghai Lake, so restoring it should be good.
He could spend a few days there with Su Huanian when he was free and even invite Green Snake for a visit.
This time, he needed to meet with Green Snake.
Su He decided that if he had any enemies, he would transform them all into living creatures for his Inner World, and the rules of the Inner World would need to be established.
Regard for merit and punishment, not to mention the inheritance of the Netherworld King—it was too much trouble!
Su He wasn’t good at this, and the three hundred Mermaids under him were self-governing; he had never been involved.
The more people there were, the more issues would naturally arise like cow’s hair.
Green Snake was experienced; it would be good to have her set the rules or recommend someone.
Having existed for decades, Changfeng City might even have worldly wise yet dying mortals who could be guided to the Inner World.
“Hahaha!
They would certainly be scared out of their wits!” Elder Ge laughed.
Indeed, they would be terrified.
Now, Qingyuan Gate was not as it was before; with his support, they were well-informed.
The more they knew, the more terrifying they found Su He.
His identity, status, and Tao Cultivation Boundary Status…
were all at a level that one could hardly reach in ten lifetimes of reincarnation.
Chatting about this and that, the two talked everything from meeting at Tinghai Lake to the development of Qingyuan, from Qingyuan to Guiwang Mountain.
Su He also shared his own experiences with Elder Ge, from the White Spirit Small World to the Seven Absolute Secret Realm, from the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice to traversing Ancient Times in the Mystery Yellow Cave Sky.
From Ancient Times to modern days, he talked about enemies, about lovers.
Su He didn’t think he had any experiences worth noting, but to Elder Ge, weren’t his experiences epic and magnificent?
Donning Buddha’s Outer Garment to face the Seal Emperor, infiltrating Ancient Times to stake out the Yuan Sovereign.
Snatching Tiger Bone from the Mystery Yellow Cave amidst the flames…
Great scenes that the average Cultivator would not witness in a lifetime were ever-present for Su He.
As Elder Ge listened, the look in his eyes towards Su He became strange, and he sighed after a long while, asking, “Turtle Kid, tell me the truth.
Are you the reincarnation of a broom spirit?
Why is it that wherever you go, trouble ensues once you turn up?”
Su He: “…”
Nonsense!
Such a blasphemous lot, how dare you slander your ancestor?!
Beware of divine retribution!
Elder Ge’s expression grew somewhat unnatural, and after a moment, he took a deep breath and said, “Turtle Kid…
when will you travel through time and space next?”
With a smile, Su He responded: “If I wish to travel, I can do so anytime.
There are still two things I haven’t done; I need to make a trip to the Northland Illusion Snow Gate, a Sect deeply connected to me.
Then I have to seek out the bad luck of Sealed Emperor Great Ancestor and snatch half of his Tiger Bone.
After that, I’ll enter secluded cultivation; after reaching Opening Heaven Five-fold, I will need to make a trip back.”
Of course, this was just a plan.
And Su He’s plans never went quite as expected!
Elder Ge nodded, then became slightly uneasy: “If…
I mean if, when you return to six hundred years ago, if you happen to see me sneaking away from Báilián Mountain – hit me!
Hit me hard!
Until I’m incapacitated, unable to get off the bed, unable to leave!”
Su He’s eyes sparkled with gossip: “A girl?”
Elder Ge didn’t respond, only looking deep into the distance with regret: “Turtle Kid, you are amazing, having drawn two unmatched Fairies into your chambers…
remember not to let go.
Even if they chase you away, never leave.
Cling on for dear life.”
Elder Ge mumbled, “Some things, once let go…
can never be grasped again.”
Su He muttered to himself.
Previously, Elder Ge had shown such emotions—is it because he heard that Su He could travel through time that he specially came to find him?
Su He felt that if he told him history cannot be changed, the old man would probably go mad?
Moreover, if it’s not a matter of life and death, why try to change the past?
Focus on shaping the future!
He also didn’t see signs of “widowhood” on Elder Ge’s face.
Su He wasn’t adept at divination, at least not compared to those truly skilled in the arts.
