Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 194 Those People? (1)

Gao Ge is listening with relish to Master Guanshan talking about the magic array. After he becomes interested in the content, he finds Master Guanshan’s words no longer complicated.

Master Guanshan also looks delighted about talking to Gao Ge. He can’t help smiling. In his eyes, it is a great pleasure for him at the moment to find a satisfying apprentice who he can teach everything.

When it is about time, the sovereign arrives. Gao Ge walks out of the pavilion and laughs upon seeing him.

The sovereign feels quite confused, asking, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. I just want to ask you a question. May I call you Daotu?”

The sovereign is speechless.

He really wants to strangle Gao Ge.

Seeing that the sovereign gets a bit angry, Gao Ge hastens to explain, “Grandmaster takes me as his apprentice on a whim today and he is going to teach me array methods.”

The sovereign takes a tumble. He stares at Gao Ge and has nothing to say for the moment.

Gao Ge continues to say, “I have one more question. According to the seniority ranking in the Heaven School—Guan, Dao, Wang, Shan, Ting, Feng, Wen and Shui...”

Although Gao Ge doesn’t finish his sentence, the sovereign has already understood his intent, he says with a bitter smile, “Well. It’s a long story. Actually, my style name should have started with Wang. Yet, my master, whose style name started with Dao, used to be the student of Grandmaster. He was the only student of Grandmaster but he betrayed the school and got expelled, leaving the name ranking of Dao vacant. In this case, we can style ourselves with the name starting with Dao.”

Gao Ge takes a tumble.

“Hem...” The sovereign wants to say something but stops on second thought. Now he has no idea how to call Gao Ge.

In terms of the seniority in the school, he should call Gao Ge uncle now.

But he really can’t do it!

What a shame!

“Hem. Sovereign, if you find it hard to call me, we can do it separately. I call you Sovereign and you call me Uncle.” Gao Ge says.

The sovereign stays silent for a while. He shakes his head with a bitter smile, saying, “Uncle, you must be joking. Of course you can call me Daotu. Though I don’t know why Grandmaster made such arrangement, he must have his own reason. It’s not my right to ask about it.”

Gao Ge laughs, saying, “Sovereign, actually my master only teaches me some array methods. No need to take it so seriously.”

Since the sovereign has shown respect for him, Gao Ge must pay back.

Although the sovereign doesn’t get angry about being called Daotu by Gao Ge, Gao Ge cannot be too over.

As Gao Ge still calls him as Sovereign, Daotu is a bit surprised and then laughs. He doesn’t fuss about the issue much. Yet, he likes Gao Ge more.

“Even Daoning, I or other brothers cannot comprehend the essence of the array methods. It is not that Grandmaster is unwilling to teach us but that we are not gifted. Since you have the talent, you should cherish the opportunity.”

Then Daotu thinks of something, asking, “Has Grandmaster mentioned how long the array outside our school can last?”

“For three years.” Gao Ge says.

Daotu sighs, “Only three years?”

Gao Ge says smilingly, “Yeah, but I also promise my master that I will strengthen the array for you after I fully grasp it.”

When Master Guanshan mentioned that, he used some jargon like “reformulation.” Yet, Gao Ge finds it quite abstruse so he prefers using the word—strengthen.

“That’s great!” Hearing that, Daotu finally gives a smile, “I will have some more spiritual jades sent to you later.”

In a rush Gao Ge says, “Sovereign, listen. Don’t send any girl to me anymore. No boys either!”

Daotu feels astounded and then stares at Gao Ge sympathetically.

What a pity!

How come Gao Ge is so weak at such a young age?

On the contrary, Daotu still feels rather vigorous though he is nearly 100 years old.

He sighs that the generation is becoming worse than the last.

Gao Ge has no idea what Daotu is thinking about, feeling that he is changing his facial expression quickly. He looks sympathetic first and then appears proud suddenly.

Gao Ge feels that this old man must not be thinking about a good thing.

“Right, Sovereign, I am quite curious about one thing. Do we have a huge stock of spiritual jades?” Gao Ge asks.

The sovereign’s face stiffens a bit and then he says with a forced smile, “The Heaven School is not a first-class school. The available resources are quite limited, let alone spiritual jades. However, it is worthwhile to use some spiritual jades to help Grandmaster recover faster.”

Gao Ge grins.

Honestly, it will be a dearly high price for any second-class school to give tens of spiritual jades away!

The Heaven School is undoubtedly wealthy!

Gao Ge finds that Daotu doesn’t look happy so he doesn’t ask further. Although his task is to investigate about the spiritual jades, he must know when to stop. Otherwise, his intention will be too obvious.

He changes the topic and asks, “Sovereign, I have one more question.”

“Please feel free to ask.”

Gao Ge takes a deep breath, asking, “Sovereign, why are you in such a hurry to let my master recover? Is it because the Heaven School has encountered any trouble?”

Daotu is a bit distressed.

Why are the questions that Gao Ge raises all so tough?

He either doesn’t know how to answer the questions or just can’t answer them.

“This is the secret of the Heaven School. I cannot tell you about it.”

Gao Ge has nothing to say then.

He really wants to say that since he becomes the apprentice of Master Guanshan, he is a member of the Heaven School now.

Yet, as Daotu is unwilling to talk about it, his badgering will be quite annoying.

It is rather obvious. Gao Ge can still sense it.

“I will tell you what you can know about. As to the things you cannot know now, I will tell you in future.” Daotu is still not being straightforward.

Gao Ge nods his head smilingly.

He has some guesses.

Maybe Daotu also realizes that the Dragon Court will not easily let go of the loss of spiritual jades.

Only if Master Guanshan gets recovered as soon as possible, the Heaven School can be confident enough to confront the Dragon Court at least.

It is Gao Ge’s conjecture.

The fact still remains unknown.

When they arrive at the Heaven School, a core student in black comes to their front.

“Sovereign, something is wrong. Those people are here.”

Hearing that, Daotu’s facial expression is completely changed.

He takes a deep breath and turns around to look at Gao Ge, saying, “You go back first. The spiritual jades will be sent to you later. This time, I will give you more. Then you just go to the Cloud Climbing Stairs directly and don’t get involved into anything.”

After saying that, Daotu leaves immediately.

Gao Ge realizes that Daotu seemed to be shivering when he said that.

It seems that those people who the core student just mentioned are quite terrifying!
