Chapter 826: True Lord of the World
“If you don’t mind me asking, who is your master, Miss Wen?” Ye Qing asked.
“My master is Yi Zhouqian,” Wen Anran answered.
“Yi Zhouqian?” Ye Qing raised his eyebrows and looked at Feng Qingyou with a question mark on his face. Unfortunately, he wasn’t knowledgeable enough to know that name.
As expected of the walking encyclopedia, Feng Qingyou explained, “You may not recognize the name Yi Zhouqian, but I’m sure you know the one they call the True Lord of the World. He is the head of the Taihe Peak of the True Martial Sect, and he is a man of great cultivation and Dao. He enjoys drinking and is a master in arts that pertain to the world, and he is especially adept at divination and world calculation, so much so that he is considered to be rivaled by no one in this department. They praise him as the man who sees the world in his cup; the one who holds heaven and earth in his palm.”
“If master was here, I’m sure he would be delighted by your praise, Miss Feng.” Wen Anran giggled behind her hand. “However, he also said that the world is vast, and talented people are innumerable. Even he is but a speck of dust in an endless sea, which is why humility and fear would always hold a place in his mind, and why he would not dare to call himself champion of anything.”
“This junior only wishes that she possesses even a sliver of the magnanimity your master has,” Feng Qingyou replied smilingly.
“True Lord of the World?” Ye Qing muttered while rubbing his nose with an odd expression. In fact, he did recognize the moniker, but the True Lord of the World he knew was… quite different from the one the girls were talking about.
According to the rumors, the True Lord of the World was a Sage of the True Martial Sect, and his main cultivation art was the “World Evolution Art”. That part coincided with the girls’ description at least. However, the jianghu people claimed that the True Lord of the World was a Sage with none of the bearing and dignity of a Sage whatsoever. Lazy, unkempt, shabby-looking and mean-spirited, he was a petty man who loved nothing more than to screw over others with his unparalleled divination skills.
Not only that, the True Lord of the World was fond of stealing another’s treasure and fortune, and his favorite quote was, “This treasure and I are fated for each other.” To say that his reputation in the jianghu was trash would be an understatement. If he wasn’t a powerful Sage, if he wasn’t a godlike diviner whose ability to seek luck and avoid calamity was rivaled by no one, if he wasn’t backed by the True Martial Sect, he would probably be dead many, many, many years ago.
