"Thank you so much for today. If you hadn't come in time, you probably would never have seen me again. It seems I'm lucky to be alive, hahaha..." The old man in white laughed self-deprecatingly, while expressing his deep gratitude.
If his old friend hadn't arrived in time, he would probably be a wandering ghost by now.
Elder Liu smiled and said calmly, "How could that be? You've always been blessed with good fortune and a long life. How could anything happen to you? Even if I hadn't come, you would have turned the danger into safety."
“What you’re saying is all true. I’ve always been a lucky person. Speaking of which, I was wondering why you were the only one who came. It turns out you’ve become so powerful. No wonder you’re so confident. But how did you manage to become so famous in just a few days? You didn’t practice some kind of evil or unorthodox method, did you?” The white-robed old man smiled slightly and asked with a curious expression.
He was extremely curious and wanted to know what the reason was. If Old Liu hadn't practiced some kind of evil or unorthodox method, then Old Liu must have encountered some great opportunity. To be honest, no matter what it was, he was very envious.
Elder Liu smiled slightly and said with a smug look, "What is crooked path? My cultivation was obtained through legitimate means. However, strictly speaking, it wasn't obtained through legitimate means. I obtained it effortlessly, and in fact, it was obtained without any effort at all. Thinking about it now, I am really too lucky."
"You still say it's not some crooked or evil method? If it weren't, how could you have gained this level of cultivation so effortlessly? Did someone give it to you for free? Don't joke around. Do you think I'd believe you? Just tell me the truth. Stop lying to me. What kind of relationship do we have? I won't do anything to you even if you tell me." The white-robed elder said with great certainty.
He firmly believed that his cultivation level was definitely not obtained through any legitimate channels, because it would take decades of practice to acquire such cultivation level properly.
Some people never reach this level in their entire lives, but Lao Liu achieved it in just a few days. So he refused to believe Lao Liu's words and was convinced that Lao Liu was deceiving him.
Elder Liu frowned, somewhat anxious and annoyed, when he saw that his old friend did not believe him. He said, "We've been friends since we were kids. Others may not know me, but don't you know me too? Would I lie to you about something so important? What kind of person do you take me for? Although I'm not a perfect person, I have my own choices. I know what I should and shouldn't do. I have a scale in my heart for what I should and shouldn't do."
Elder Liu was furious at the thought of his old friend misunderstanding him like this. He had kindly saved him, but in return, his friend misunderstood him. It was infuriating.
The old man in white could tell from Lao Liu's expression that he was angry. He thought to himself that he might have really misunderstood him, so he smiled and said, "Are you angry? Why are you so petty? I was just joking with you. Why did you take it so seriously? What kind of relationship do we have? Like you said, others may not understand you, but how could I not understand you? You must have encountered some great opportunity to become so powerful. Speaking of which, I really envy you. Tell me quickly what great opportunity you encountered. I also wish I could encounter such a rare opportunity and be as lucky as you."
Elder Liu was no longer angry upon hearing this, and his expression gradually improved. He casually said, "I did not encounter the great opportunity you imagined, nor is it as mysterious as you think. The reason why my cultivation has become so powerful is entirely due to a disciple of my sect."
"What do you mean? There seems to be something going on here. What does this have to do with the disciple you mentioned?" The white-haired old man became increasingly interested and asked with great curiosity.
"You don't know this, but the disciple I'm talking about is the chief disciple of our central sect. The reason my cultivation has become so powerful is thanks to him. He passed on his skills to me, which allowed my cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds. You know my abilities. If it were up to me, I probably would never have reached this level in my entire life." Elder Liu didn't hide anything and said directly.
"Hehehe, are you kidding me? How high could his cultivation level be as the chief disciple? How could he possibly help you? Even if he were a bit stronger, around the same level as us, he still couldn't possibly have that much ability." The white-haired old man said with a look of disbelief, as if he had heard a joke.
If Lao Liu had given any other reason, he might have believed it without a second thought, but he couldn't believe that Lao Liu said his cultivation had improved so quickly because of the sect's disciples.
Because it sounds too unbelievable.
After all, how could an ordinary sect disciple be more powerful than an elder? At most, it would be remarkable and talented if their cultivation level was comparable to that of an elder. But to say that their cultivation level was higher than that of an elder, or that they were more powerful, he simply couldn't believe it.
Seeing his old friend's incredulous expression, Elder Liu was not angry, because he knew that this was indeed too unbelievable. After all, he had thought the same thing at the time, but the facts were right in front of him, forcing him to believe it.
Perhaps Chief Gu is what people call someone who is born with a gift from heaven; he was born this way, or perhaps he carried memories from a previous life.
Otherwise, he simply couldn't imagine why Chief Gu was so powerful. Not only was he powerful, but he could also pass on his skills to so many people without any problems or being affected at all. It was simply unbelievable.
"I told you, I'm not joking with you. My cultivation was all passed down to me by Chief Gu of our sect. He is indeed exceptionally gifted, with terrifyingly high cultivation, far surpassing me. And if you don't believe me, you can visit our sect and see for yourself. Many of our disciples have received his teachings." Elder Liu said with a faint smile and a serious expression.
The white-haired old man knew from Lao Liu's expression that he wasn't lying, but it sounded unbelievable because it was too bizarre and unbelievable.
After all, he had never encountered such an extraordinary person in his entire life, and he had never heard of anyone possessing such a rare talent.
"Old Liu, could I ask you for a favor? I'd like to meet this disciple you mentioned. I'm very curious about him." After hearing Elder Liu's words, the white-haired old man became very curious and interested in this Chief Gu.
He was eager to meet the disciple Old Liu had mentioned, to see if he was as amazing as Old Liu had said, and to witness the disciple's brilliance for himself.
He guessed that this disciple must have some extraordinary abilities, otherwise Old Liu wouldn't have praised him so highly. However, he also thought that Old Liu was definitely exaggerating, and that this disciple was not as powerful as he claimed.
He wanted to see if Chief Gu was really as Old Liu had said, because only by seeing him could he truly believe it.
