Chapter 165: That Person Is Me (1)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
While Rong Yi and ‘Bu Qi’ were having a heated conversation, a disciple shouted at the gate, “Chief, Head Rong from Taixu Peak is here to see you.”
“A-hem…” Rong Yi who just stole a piece of pastry and had a bite immediately swallowed it whole and quickly looked around, “The chief…is here?”
But in the hall there was only him and ‘Bu Qi’.
“Holy c.r.a.p! I got so d.a.m.n scared that I nearly got choked on the pastry!” Rong Yi tried to guide his qi downward and then swallowed the whole piece.
‘Bu Qi’ smiled and then said to the disciple outside, “Let him in.”
“Yes.”
Rong Yi asked curiously, “Why hasn’t the chief arrived?”
‘Bu Qi’ didn’t answer him.
When Rong Lingshu walked in, he saw Rong Yi was already here, so he paced up and came before ‘Bu Qi’, “My greetings, chief.”
Rong Yi was dumbfounded, looked at Rong Lingshu and then ‘Bu Qi’.
‘Bu Qi’ then gave him a smile.
Rong Yi pointed at ‘Bu Qi’, wearing an unbelieving expression, “Him? The chief?”
“Rong Yi, don’t be rude.” Rong Lingshu patted his hand.
Rong Yi then asked, “Grandfather, you just called him chief?”
Rong Lingshu glared at him, “Haven’t you seen him before?”
Rong Yi, “…”
He was not the original owner. How could he have ever seen him?
What surprised him most was that the chief of the biggest sect in Zhonghai Prefecture had taken him as his master s.h.i.+fu. No wonder he was wearing a mask every day.
Rong Yi sized the chief up and down and down and up, and found something was not right. Just now he didn’t notice that those two had totally different temperament. Bu Qi had the momentum of a swordsman while the man before him looked majestic like a born leader. So they were totally two different kinds of people.
But why did Bu Qi look exactly like the chief? Or Bu Qi used shapes.h.i.+fting arts to fool him?
The chief smiled lightly, “We did meet once, besides he was only eight years old back then. It’s reasonable he didn’t recognize me. I am just wondering who this Bu Qi is.”
Rong Yi just told him Bu Qi was a cultivator at Mahayana phase. How could someone at such high level be his disciple? That really intrigued his curiosity. What surprised him more was that this Rong Yi who only brought disgrace to the sect knew a lot of things that even he didn’t know. Like the formations they were discussing about, Rong Yi could put all kinds of different runes into it that would make it much more powerful and useful.
Especially after the chatting with Rong Yi just now, he had a feeling that this was not an eighteen years old man but a sage who had reached the Mahayana phase, because Rong Yi knew everything he knew while he had no idea of what Rong Yi knew and needed Rong Yi to explain it to him.
If it hadn’t been Rong Lingshu, he really wanted to learn something more from Rong Yi.
Rong Yi held his forehead, “Don’t mention him. If he stands before me now, I’m gonna snap his neck.”
Fortunately the chief didn’t mind those rude movements of him and he also didn’t do something disrespectful, otherwise no one could tell whether he could walk out of this place or not in a whole piece.
The chief guessed that this Bu Qi should have used his face to fool Rong Yi, but he was still very curious who this Bu Qi was, and why he was so bold to embezzle his face. Fortunately he didn’t do something awful, otherwise he also had idea what consequences it would bring to him.
Oh right! Rong Yi said Immortal Yunyi knew this Bu Qi. He could ask him later.
Rong Lingshu looked at them strangely. Before he came, what happened between the chief and Rong Yi? Why did he have a feeling that the chief who had always had a problem with Rong Yi treated him differently this time?
The chief had already talked a lot with Rong Yi, so he got right to the point, “I sent someone to inform you to come back is because I heard you were tested to own the mutant Thunder-fire Spiritual root, so I hope you can come back to cultivate and not to waste it. But the main reason I ask here is to ask if you know who is behind the enchanted runes of the clothes shop. I heard those four bosses are all your friends. So I wonder if you know this person.”
Rong Lingshu immediately turned to Rong Yi on hearing it was about the enchanted runes. The chief summoned them last time to investigate this person. The chief was in charge, so others shouldn’t step in, or they would be suspected to be unfaithful. So they were all waiting for the answer from the chief. But he never expected his grandson got involved.
Rong Yi picked his eyebrows. So the chief only knew he was a friend of the bosses of the shop but didn’t know it was him.
He asked, “You want to find the one who made the enchanted runes?”
“Exactly.”
“Oh, I happen to know who he is.”
The chief and Rong Lingshu’s eyes were both s.h.i.+ning, “Who is it?”
Rong Yi smiled at the chief, “If you can let my senior brother take over Tianxu Peak, I will tell you.”
How dare this son threaten the chief? Rong Lingshu who also meant to let Bai Yunchen take over Tianxu Peak pretended to be angry, “Rong Yi, how dare you talk to the chief like that?”
The chief gave Rong Lingshu a look and said after thinking for a bit, “Yes, he can.”
The reason that he agreed with Rong Yi was because he thought Rong Yi’s wisdom was worth him to sacrifice a peak to keep.
“Grandfather, you also heard him. As long as I tell who this person is, he would let Bai Yunchen take over Tianxu Peak.
Rong Lingshu, “…”
