Chapter 263 A Wife “Scrambled” by the Master
w.a.n.g Feng followed Guijianchou into another hotel not far from the one where they had been staying. Of course, it was also a five-star hotel where people from the Starspark School made a block booking as well.
At present, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of cultivators had arrived in Chang City from Celestial Empire. Therefore, the Starspark School almost booked all the star-rated hotels in the city to accommodate them.
Now, w.a.n.g Feng could see cultivators everywhere, and those who were in the dark might feel confused as if they had come to a different world.
Outside the door of a room in the hotel, Guijianchou gently knocked on the door.
“Come in.” After hearing a calm voice from the room, he directly pushed the door open and took the lead in going in.
w.a.n.g Feng came in after him spontaneously and he thought that maybe his Master was going to take him to see someone who was important.
The room was large, but there were very few people, just an old man and a woman about twenty years old.
The woman was as beautiful as the other female cultivators, and her eyes were particularly clear. To say the least, she was a stunner with dangerous beauty just like Helen of Troy.
w.a.n.g Feng had seen quite a few women, but none of them had such innocent eyes just like an ordinary child. Just by looking at those eyes, people would feel calm and have the feelings of love and compa.s.sion.
Bei Yunxue also had this charm as a whole. But it was different from this girl, whose simplicity could be shown just by the eyes.
“Tianming, have a look at my protege. What do you think of him?” Guijianchou opened his mouth at this time, and his words made w.a.n.g Feng feel puzzled. Why did they look at him? He was not a woman after all.
However, the old man did set his eyes on w.a.n.g Feng after hearing what Guijianchou said.
The way he looked at w.a.n.g Feng made w.a.n.g Feng feel frightened. Besides, he felt an extremely powerful force from this old man, which stung his eyes when he tried to see through him by his X-ray vision. He could see through the old man.
He was probably at the same level beyond the Internal Strength just as Guijianchou.
“Is this the protege you just received lately?” The old man asked, while taking his eyes off w.a.n.g Feng after scanning him for some time.
“Yes. Could that happen?” Guijianchou nodded, with his eyes on the woman and w.a.n.g Feng all the time.
“He"s fairly good and much stronger than his peers. It"s just that I can"t bear parting with her. You know that this girl has been with me since childhood. Alas…” Speaking of this, the old man stopped and heaved a long sigh.
“Come on! You old guy, what do you expect me to say? Can you be with her forever? I just need your words. Yes or no? That"s all. Other things are none of my business.”
“Is your protege really so good as you said?” The old man asked, not feeling rea.s.sured.
“Just relax, old guy. Trust me, I know my protege well, and he won"t treat her unfairly.” Guijianchou said calmly
After hearing this, w.a.n.g Feng finally figured out what was going on. It seemed that his Master was making a match for him.
Admittedly, this woman was very beautiful indeed, and her eyes were so clear which could fascinate countless men, but had his Master ever asked for his opinion?
“Master…” w.a.n.g Feng spoke up.
“Be silent.” w.a.n.g Feng was directly interrupted by these words of Guijianchou, and he finally chose to shut up after a few failed attempts.
As the saying went, the master was equivalent to one"s own parents. w.a.n.g Feng knew very well how much his Master had helped him, and the reason why he could get where he was today was Guijianchou. Without him, w.a.n.g Feng could have been disabled or even dead.
So, could w.a.n.g Feng act against him? Clearly not.
“Fine, I can let my protege go with you. But if you treat her badly, I will haunt you forever even though I die and become a ghost.”
“Tianming, you and I have been friends for so many years. How could I cheat you? You can trust me and stop worrying. It will be the most correct decision you"ve ever made to let her go with us.”
“Alas… Forget it. You can take her away.” Suddenly, the old man heaved a long sigh and directly turned around without saying anything to w.a.n.g Feng.
“Master…” At this time, the woman spoke up with tears in her eyes.
Her tearful voice, though clear and melodious, would make the most brutal people heartbreaking here.
“Mo Shishui, take her away right now, or else we are not friends anymore.” The old man shouted at this time.
“Then take care of yourself.” Hearing the old man"s words, Guijianchou came directly to the woman"s side and pressed her acupoints in fast moves without hesitation. After that, he pulled her out of the door.
At this time, w.a.n.g Feng was surely taken by surprise, because it was the first time he had heard someone call his Mater Mo Shishui, which was another name of his Master.
“w.a.n.g Feng, what are you waiting for? Get out of the room.” Guijianchou yelled outside the door at this time.
“Oh.” w.a.n.g Feng replied and then left the room after Guijianchou. But he looked back at the old man several times before he got out.
Why did the old man with such a huge strength become so sentimental as if they were never to meet again? He had taken it a bit too far.
Guijianchou brought the girl to the hotel where they lived and locked her in a room. Only after that did Guijianchou lock the door and get out of the room.
“Master, what are you doing?” w.a.n.g Feng asked quickly as soon as Guijianchou walked out of the room.
“Nothing. I am just making a match for you.” Guijianchou said flatly.
“Have you asked for my opinion, Master? I already have girlfriends.” w.a.n.g Feng said reluctantly.
“It"s normal for men to have concubines. Besides, do you dare to reject the marriage I"m arranging for you?”
“Well, what is wrong with the predecessor? Why did it feel like that he was dying?” w.a.n.g Feng asked doubtfully at this time.
“You are right. He doesn"t have much time indeed, or why do you think you can get such a beauty so easily?”
Speaking of this, Guijianchou heaved a long sigh and said slowly, “We have been old friends for decades, and I haven"t expected him to leave me. But there"s nothing we can do against the command of heaven.”
“w.a.n.g Feng, I tell you that this girl is the only family he has in this world, and I have also seen her grow up. She"s very innocent, so if she gets upset at your place in the future, I will definitely kick your a.s.s.”
“Master, aren"t you making things difficult for me?” No one would say no to beautiful women, but w.a.n.g Feng did not dare to act recklessly.
“What"s done is done. In short, I will entrust the girl to you in the future, and you decide what to do next. It will be your fault if she gets upset, and I won"t go easy on you at that time.” Guijianchou said with a threatening face.
“But Master, about the predecessor, I did see how strong he was. Maybe he is no worse than you. How come his days are counting down?” w.a.n.g Feng asked at this time.
“What do you know? What you saw is just the appearance. The truth is that he has been going downhill for more than two years, and he is now falling back to the level of Internal Strength. The only reason why he has not died is that he"s worried about the only protege of him. Do you think that it"s easy for your Master to get you this girl? You have no idea what a keen compet.i.tion I have been through.” Guijianchou groaned.
“Gosh!” w.a.n.g Feng was really shocked when hearing his words. Was there a master who scrambled a wife for his proteges? That was the first time he had ever heard such a strange affair.
He only knew things that a master avenged for his proteges or swept away the obstacles for them. Never had he heard of a master competing to get a wife for his protege.
“Master, can"t you save him with your strength?” w.a.n.g Feng asked doubtfully at this time.
Guijianchou was known as the best doctor in Celestial Empire and even the whole world. How could he have no idea how to cure the old man with his medical skills?
“I once tried, but his meridians have been completely destroyed by others, and his strength is slowly dissipating. He is still alive because of the mighty strength he has acc.u.mulated before. Besides, he is really too old. I don"t have the ability to cure him.”
“Moreover, as I said before, you can"t go against G.o.d"s will. There is no such thing as immortality in this world. We"re all coming to death. And when it comes, even G.o.d can"t save us. So, under this situation, I really can"t do anything to cure him.” Guijianchou stopped to take a deep sigh, speaking of this.
It was ridiculous that he had the so-called miraculous medical skills but couldn"t even cure his good friend. What a failure!
“How old is he?” Guijianchou"s answer greatly astonished w.a.n.g Feng.
“I"ve known him for 80 years. I have never asked about his age, but I think he should be more than one hundred and fifty years old. If his meridians were not destroyed, he could be able to live for another 20 years or so. Unluckily, he met an opponent who was even stronger than him. There"s nothing I can do for him.”
“An opponent who was even stronger than him?” w.a.n.g Feng was shocked again. In his eyes, those experts of the Internal Strength were already powerful enough. Yet there was someone who was more powerful than them in this word. What kind of realm did they reach?
“There"s no limit if you look up. Never think that you are invincible in the world. Otherwise, you will die like a dog. I can help you when I"m alive, but when I"m no longer there, you can only rely on yourself.” Guijianchou said flatly.
Hearing his words, w.a.n.g Feng"s heart was filled with a tinge of sadness. So, he asked, “Master, are you reaching the day as well?”
“I"m only a hundred and twenty years old and still have some decades to go through. Do you really expect me to be laid to rest?” Guijianchou said with a glance at w.a.n.g Feng.
“Of course not. I mean that it would be great if you could live a long life of hundreds of years.” When saying this, w.a.n.g Feng was inwardly surprised at the age of his Master, who seemed to be at most seventy years old. He didn"t expect him to be so old that he was already a hundred and twenty years old.
Were all the powerful cultivators so old? And they could live for more than a hundred years, which was almost twice as long as a common person could live.
“Everyone is going to die, and I am no exception. I am just giving you a notice in advance so that you won"t be fl.u.s.tered. He has been my old friend for decades. So, I have to take good care of his only protege. No matter what you think of, you should not distress her and make her get wronged. Are you clear?” Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his voice, which startled w.a.n.g Feng.
“Yes.” With these words of his Master, w.a.n.g Feng could do nothing but make a promise reluctantly first.
