Chapter 1586: Shangguan Yang
Normally, only a senior cultivator could tell the difference among other cultivators.
“Sure, let me try it,” Leng Shaoting said, and used his consciousness to put the knife into his s.p.a.ce. He succeeded at the very first time.
“Wow, great! Take it out now,” the old man said with a satisfied smile. He used to think that it was troublesome to have an apprentice, but now he felt it wasn’t a bad thing to have such a talented apprentice like Leng Shaoting.
In the ancient time, he was also a talented cultivator, but it still took him three times to successfully put something into his pace. Most importantly, Leng Shaoting could provide endless delicious foods and drinks for him.
Leng Shaoting tried to take the knife out of the Qiankun Bag with his consciousness, and he succeeded again.
“Perfect!” The old man nodded with satisfaction.
All of a sudden, the old man thought of something and asked Gu Ning, “Why are you talking with me all the time since he wants to be my student?”
Hearing that, Leng Shaoting was struck dumb for a second, and also felt it was inappropriate.
“Well, he isn’t good at talking ever since he was a kid, so I made the decision for him,” Gu Ning said.
“I understand it now.” The old man actually didn’t mind it, because Leng Shaoting indeed seldom said a word.
Leng Shaoting felt relieved that the old man wasn’t displeased.
“Why are you in different clothes from me?” asked the old man again.
Their clothing looked quite different.
“Because hundreds of years have pa.s.sed by, and the world is completely different today,” Gu Ning said.
“Great,” the old man said.
“Hey, young girl, you haven’t told me your name yet,” he asked.
“My name’s Gu Ning,” said Gu Ning.
“Do you have your own s.p.a.ce?” asked the old man.
“Yes,” Gu Ning said, but didn’t tell him many details.
The old man didn’t ask further about it either, although he was quite curious about the reason why Gu Ning could have her own s.p.a.ce as a mortal. It was a bad habit to dig into other people’s privacy.
The old man licked his fingers with desire for more delicious foods after he ate the whole roasted chicken.
“Young girl, do you have more delicious foods?” The old man looked at Gu Ning with antic.i.p.ation. Although he wouldn’t feel hungry even if he didn’t eat at all, he had a much bigger stomach than ordinary people.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were both aware of it, so they didn’t feel it was strange.
“Sure, but you need to wait for a while,” Gu Ning said.
“Wonderful! Be quick!” The old man was willing to wait as long as he had more delicious foods to eat.
“Shaoting, keep on practicing how to use your Qiankun Bag. You must be very skilled at it,” the old man said to Leng Shaoting.
“Sure,” Leng Shaoting said with great respect. After that, he walked to the side to continue his practice, while the old man stared at Gu Ning when she took out dishes from her telepathic eye s.p.a.ce one after another. Unfortunately, they were raw, and he had to be patient.
“Here, if you want some food, try these fruits,” Gu Ning said and gave him a bag of fruits.
The old man took it over and enjoyed the fruits right away. He wasn’t picky, and only wanted delicious food.
“Young girl, is today’s world fun?” asked the old man.
“Of course it’s fun, and you can leave the mountain with us in a few days,” Gu Ning said.
“Why do we have to wait for a few days?” The old man couldn’t wait to travel and eat in today’s new world.
“We just arrived here yesterday, and Shaoting needs more time to improve his cultivation here with the thick magical power.” Gu Ning said.
“Fine, I can wait,” the old man said.
Although he agreed to wait for a few more days, he made up his mind to help Leng Shaoting accelerate the practice so that they could leave this mountain earlier.
“Well, if you don’t remember your name, how should I call you?” Gu Ning asked.
“I don’t care,” the old man said airily.
In the following hour, the old man ate a dish once Gu Ning cooked one. Gu Ning was amused, but said nothing about it.
Leng Shaoting also had some food, but he didn’t eat much.
“Shangguan Yang, my name is Shangguan Yang!” The old man suddenly remembered his name during the meal. He had stayed alone for hundreds of years, and no one had ever called his name, so it was hard for him to remember it. Luckily, he remembered it right now.
“Can I call you Grandpa Shangguan?” Gu Ning said.
Since Shangguan Yang was Leng Shaoting’s private teacher now, she hoped that they could have a close relations.h.i.+p with each other.
“Of course you can,” Shangguan Yang said. In fact, he had a good impression of Gu Ning, because she was kind and polite. Most importantly, she could cook delicious food for him.
