Chapter 171: Acknowledged
"You’re talking about this old man, right?" Wang Yufan said, pointing at Liu Wuxie.
This made Li Qiye a bit confused. There was only one old man, how could there be more? No, there should also be an old man next to him.
Grand Uncle, standing next to Li Qiye, looked at Liu Wuxie and fell into deep thought. He felt as if he had seen this old man somewhere before, but he couldn’t recall it at the moment.
At this moment, Changtian, who was fiercely battling in the sky, also noticed the appearance of Wang Yufan and the others, but he couldn’t greet them immediately as he was preoccupied.
Rumbling sounds continuously descended from the sky.
Wang Yufan said to Liu Wuxie:
"Why don’t you go help him?"
Liu Wuxie said, "It’s not that this old man doesn’t want to help, but there are rules limiting me. I can’t resist them, nor can I hit it. I’ll have to ask Wang Yufan to help instead."
Wang Yufan smiled and said:
"You see, even you can’t help, do you think I can?"
"To be honest, I think Wang Yufan can," Liu Wuxie said.
As soon as Liu Wuxie finished speaking, Grand Uncle interjected:
"Senior, do we know each other? Why do you seem so familiar to me? I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before.
Also, what you just said is right. Look at that demonic ape suspended in the air; that was the doing of this young man in white. It truly astounds me! So, I also believe this young man in white can rescue our Imperial Lord," Grand Uncle said.
Hearing Grand Uncle’s words, Liu Wuxie smiled faintly and said:
"You are? We haven’t met, but I think you should have seen me."
Grand Uncle was a bit bewildered. What did that mean?
"Senior, I am the most senior person in the Jidao Imperial Court currently. I am the Imperial Lord’s Grand Uncle, Changkong," Grand Uncle said.
Hearing Changkong’s reply, Liu Wuxie smiled and said, "Hmm, then you should have seen a statue in the ancestral hall that looks very much like me, right?"
Hearing Liu Wuxie say this, Changkong’s mind constantly made comparisons. Finally, it settled on a statue he dared not imagine: the statue of the Jidao Imperial Court’s founding ancestor, Liu Wuxie.
"Impossible, how is this possible? Our Imperial Court’s ancestor passed away tens of thousands of years ago. How could he still be alive now? Impossible." Changkong’s heart continuously denied his own conjecture. He was startled by his own guess.
Seeing Changkong’s reaction, Liu Wuxie smiled. He already knew that Changkong had guessed it but was unwilling to believe it.
"I think you already know, right? That’s correct! It’s exactly what you’re thinking," Liu Wuxie said.
Upon hearing Liu Wuxie’s confirmation, Grand Uncle Changkong immediately staggered back a few steps.
"Impossible, how could you be Liu Wuxie, the ancestor of my Jidao Imperial Court?" Changkong said incredulously.
"What? What did you say? You said this old man is Liu Wuxie, the ancestor of your Jidao Imperial Court? Master, is this true? Did you just pull him out of his coffin?" Li Qiye said.
Hearing Li Qiye’s words, Wang Yufan remained silent, but Liu Wuxie smiled and said:
"I didn’t expect, Wang Yufan, that you already have a disciple now. You are right, it was your master who pulled me out of my coffin."
"Old man, I now have two disciples. This is my second disciple," Wang Yufan said.
Hearing his master’s words and Liu Wuxie’s words, Li Qiye was very sure that his master had indeed saved the ancestor of the Jidao Imperial Court.
"I didn’t expect Master to be so powerful. He can even revive someone who has been dead for tens of thousands of years. Then if I die in the future, Master can easily save me, right?" Li Qiye kept thinking wildly in his mind.
Wang Yufan saw Li Qiye’s expression and knew that he was not thinking good thoughts. Wang Yufan increasingly felt that Li Qiye was not like this before; he didn’t like to talk. How did his mind become so active after following him, becoming more and more like Xu Changqing’s personality?
It seems I need to quickly take on a female disciple to balance the excessive masculinity here.
"Senior, how can you prove that you are the ancestor of our Jidao Imperial Court? It’s not that I don’t believe you, but it’s just too unbelievable. Currently, the Imperial Lord is battling that demonic ape in the sky. If he were here, he should be able to recognize you, as the Imperial Lord basically goes to the ancestral hall to offer incense every day," Changkong said.
Hearing this, Liu Wuxie looked up at Changtian, who was battling in the sky, and nodded with satisfaction at this junior. It seemed his descendants were still very filial.
"Well then, please help my junior, Wang Yufan. This demonic ape is something this old man truly has no way to deal with," Liu Wuxie said to Wang Yufan.
Wang Yufan smiled and said:
"Alright, but you must remember that this time you are asking for my help. That makes it two favors you owe me. Remember to repay them when the time comes."
Hearing Wang Yufan’s words, Liu Wuxie was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and realized it was true.
But he was also very speechless. Wang Yufan was already so strong, what would he need his favor for? He couldn’t figure it out and could only wait and see.
"Alright, this old man has noted it. As long as Wang Yufan is willing to act, I will remember these two favors of yours," Liu Wuxie said.
After hearing Liu Wuxie’s reply, Wang Yufan took a step and instantly disappeared from his original spot, reappearing next to Changtian the next moment.
"Alright, Imperial Lord, go down and meet your ancestor," Wang Yufan said.
"Ah, what did you say? Be careful, the demonic ape is about to attack again." As Changtian was speaking, the demonic ape’s huge fist directly smashed towards the two of them.
Wang Yufan smiled in the face of this attack, extended a finger once more, and shouted the word stop. The demonic ape’s eyes widened instantly, because it, too, was frozen just like its companion.
Not only the demonic ape, but even Changtian was stunned for a moment. He had heard that this demonic ape only attacked him, and he could only hit it, but why could Wang Yufan directly freeze it?
Grand Uncle Changkong, below, said.
"I knew it, he could definitely do it."
Soon, the two descended from the sky.
When Changtian landed and stood opposite Liu Wuxie, carefully observing him, his eyes widened abruptly, and then he exclaimed:
"Y-you are Old Ancestor Liu Wuxie?"
Hearing Changtian say this, Liu Wuxie smiled and nodded, saying.
"That’s right, and it’s all thanks to Wang Yufan. As for the details, there’s no need to discuss them here. Let’s talk about it when we get back," Liu Wuxie said.
Although these words resonated in Changtian’s heart, he still found it hard to believe that an ancestor who had perished tens of thousands of years ago was once again standing before him.
Wang Yufan looked at their expressions without any emotion. Let them resolve their own matters.
"Qiye, pick up Li Meng’er. Let’s go back," Wang Yufan said.
