368: Mo Yang and Gang 7

Mo Yang and Gang 7

0Grandpa replied with a question of his own, "You were by her side for so long. Do you really think that she'll be in trouble?"

"Big Sis always has good luck." Si Jin suddenly smiled.

Grandpa glanced at the golden koi fish now blowing happy air bubbles in the water. He said helplessly, "Stop worrying about that lady. You were foolish enough to get trapped by the humans' summoning array the last time around, which means that your cultivation still isn't good enough yet. Come here and I'll teach you all about summoning arrays."

"...But I don't want to," Si Jin coyly said.

"Do you want to get trapped and hurt again?" Grandpa tried to convince Si Jin. "If you get hurt, you wouldn't be able to protect that lady and the other humans."

"Alright, alright, I'll do it," replied Si Jin as he continued sulking and blowing air bubbles…

He thought to himself, 'Big Sis, Grandpa caught me! I can't be by your side for now, so you'll have to take care of yourself.

'But Grandpa says you'll be alright.

'Yes, you'll be alright!'

…

Qi Qingyao prayed intently for a very long time. She did not get any response, but she was sure that the Koi God had heard her prayers.

Gu Shanshan prayed for a long while too.

When they exited the temple, Gu Shanshan sneakily pinched Qi Qingyao's sleeve and asked her, "What were you praying for?"

"I asked the Koi God to give me a sign," Qi Qingyao replied with a sunken expression on her face. She continued, "If I find out who's kidnapped my daughter, I will have them and their entire family die by a thousand cuts!"

Gu Shanshan agreed. They deserved it!

As Qi Qingyao walked out of the temple, she noticed an elderly person standing on a small marble bridge that arched across a small lake. He was staring at the fishes in the lake.

The old man said nothing, his gaze fixated downward. It seemed like he had been there for quite a long time. Qi Qingyao's instincts told her that this old man had something powerful hidden inside him. However, his aura was an inconspicuous one. It felt similar to the aura of monks on television sweeping the floor, even though he was not sweeping anything right now.

Something about him felt very different.

Qi Qingyao walked past the old man and asked him, "Good sir, may I ask what are you staring at?"

The old man did not shift his gaze as if he intended to maintain his current position until the end of eternity. He replied, "I'm waiting for someone."

"Waiting for who?" asked Qi Qingyao.

The old man replied, "The right person."

Qi Qingyao continued, "Have you found them?"

The old man turned around and stared at the lady, mused for a moment as if he had just woken up from a dream, and said, "Perhaps I now have."

The lady was good-looking, but her features were not what surprised him. It was her aura, which felt very comforting.

There was something irresistible about her.

She was just human, so how come…

Strange.

Gu Shanshan sensed something was off with this old man, so she started pulling Qi Qingyao away from him.

The old man smiled as he stroked his snow-white beard, "Little lady, I find you quite interesting."

"But I'm not interested in you, old man." Qi Qingyao glanced at him from top to bottom, turned around, and started walking away.

The old man replied, "Your daughter was kidnapped, wasn't she?"

"How did you know that?" Qi Qingyao stopped in her tracks.

She completely forgot what she had been muttering about while walking out the temple door just a moment ago.

The old man smiled amiably at her and said, "How about you and I make a bet? If you win, I'll help you find your daughter, and if you lose, you will follow me."
