Chapter 346: (2): Scholar Explaining Sequential Order, Water Goddess Forming Golden Core
The water goddess waved her hand, after which the young maidservant quietly retreated and took her leave.
Only then did the water goddess say, "Chen Ping'an, I'm a straightforward person, and I know you are as well. Otherwise, Zhong Kui wouldn't have become so close and friendly with you. That being the case, I'll speak my mind frankly?"
Chen Ping'an nodded and replied, "Please go ahead, Miss Water Goddess."
The water goddess's expression became solemn, and it was as if she were carefully choosing her words to discuss something extremely important.
Chen Ping'an wasn't sure what the water goddess wanted to discuss. Theoretically speaking, Zhong Kui had already resolved the matter regarding her rejection of Great Subduing Academy's offer, so Green Roving Residence shouldn't be facing any challenges at this moment. However, since the water goddess appeared so serious, Chen Ping'an quietly sat there and waited for her to speak.
"Chen Ping'an, you've met the Scholarly Sage before, so can you tell me if the Scholarly Sage is like a towering mountain that one has to behold in awe? Does he speak with eloquence, with every word and every sentence inspiring utmost admiration? Upon hearing the Scholarly Sage explain the paramount and profound principles of the Great Dao in the simplest terms possible, will one feel a strong urge to prostrate themselves and loudly kowtow in respect?"
The water goddess's eyes were glowing with spirit and exuberance as she sat opposite Chen Ping'an and spoke.
Fortunately, Chen Ping'an wasn't drinking at this moment, or else he would have immediately spat his wine out.
Pei Qian didn't know who the Scholarly Sage that the water goddess spoke of was, but judging by the water goddess' questions, it seemed like Chen Ping'an was acquainted with a fairly impressive old man. Pei Qian couldn't help but feel a sense of shared pride. She proudly crossed her arms in front of her chest.
