Shi Miao stayed in the hall for about half an hour, and then was invited to the island by Zuo Shaohua.
Zuo Shaohua was dressed in a white suit, and his gentle and elegant temperament gave people a good first impression. "The other metaphysical masters that Grandpa invited have arrived. They are waiting for you on the island."
Shi Miao nodded slightly, "I understand."
She left with Zuo Shaohua. Zuo Baozhu wanted to follow him, but reason reminded her that she couldn't leave so many guests she invited alone, so she could only stare at Shi Miao's back.
Shi Miao might even get to spar with Grandpa someday. I really want to see that! Damn, I envy my brother so much. I want to be transported into his body!
Li Mei didn't dislike Zuo Baozhu. "Everyone has left. It's time to come back to your senses."
Zuo Baozhu reluctantly withdrew her gaze.
Li Mei sighed, "You really like Miaomiao."
Zuo Baozhu said confidently: "She is so nice, isn't it normal to like her?"
When she was with Shi Miao, perhaps because of her temperament, Zuo Baozhu felt particularly comfortable and couldn't help wanting to get close to her and cling to her.
The two fans exchanged an understanding look and reached a consensus at this moment.
Li Mei sighed, "I thought you would want to match her with your brother." But Zuo Baozhu herself had no such intention at all.
Zuo Baozhu showed an expression of resistance.
No no no, she doesn’t buy this CP!!
…
Zuo Haoran set the meeting place on a small island in the middle of the lake, and they would take a small boat to get to the island.
Shi Miao followed Zuo Shaohua to the lakeside, looked at the small and exquisite boat, and said, "It doesn't have to be so troublesome."
She stepped into the lake.
Zuo Shaohua was about to speak out to stop her when he saw the lake water that Shi Miao's feet touched freeze into ice in an instant. She walked on the ice towards the island. Although her steps didn't seem fast, in the blink of an eye, she was already ten meters ahead.
Zuo Shaohua watched this scene in shock. From beginning to end, he didn't see Shi Miao chanting any spells, nor did he see her throw talismans or use magical tools, nor did he even sense the magic fluctuations at that moment.
From her indifferent expression, it was clear that she didn't think she had done anything remarkable. And then, this understatement, without a trace of worldly airs, silently demonstrated her strength.
The hands under his sleeves unconsciously clenched into fists, and Zuo Shaohua began to doubt his powerful grandfather: Can his grandfather's plan really succeed?
Why did he feel that Shi Miao was more powerful than Grandpa? They were both at the Golden Core level, so was the difference that big?
After a moment of daze, he found that Shi Miao had gone further away. Zuo Shaohua came to his senses and hurriedly chased after him.
Elsewhere, Zuo Haoran was chatting with some of his old friends when he saw the lake water freeze into ice. The smile on his face faded a little.
"Is this Shi Miao? No wonder you, Bai Changting, lost to her. A great reputation is truly a living legend." Zuo Haoran even criticized the Wenshi Sect's leader, trying to sow discord between them. Although he'd heard that Wenshi Sect and Shi Miao had a good relationship, he doubted that Bai Changting, with his years of renown, would harbor no resentment after becoming Shi Miao's stepping stone.
Sect Leader Bai chuckled. At the Golden Core stage, he looked only about thirty years old. "Shi Miao is indeed stronger than me. At least I can't do this."
"The lake is frozen. How are we going to fish later?" Zuo Haoran's friend Dong Wen found fault.
Shi Miao's voice came over, "You can fish now."
She stepped onto the shore, and at this time Zuo Shaohua also rushed over. When Zuo Shaohua caught up, Shi Miao looked back at the lake, and the frozen lake water turned into running water again in an instant.
After getting ashore, Shi Miao nodded slightly to her fellow Taoists. However, she didn't know everyone present, as there were a few who were obviously on better terms with Zuo Haoran.
Almost everyone had arrived. Zuo Haoran cleared his throat, revealing an expression that was clearly proud yet feigned modesty. "Perhaps it's because of the good feng shui in this country. I was able to successfully break through the bottleneck some time ago and become a Golden Core Grandmaster, fulfilling a long-cherished wish."
As he spoke, his old face gradually turned younger, and he looked more like Zuo Shaohua beside him. However, he had more pressure from holding power for many years.
"Congratulations, Brother Zuo."
"As expected of Brother Zuo. It's a pity that I found out about this too late and didn't have time to bring a gift today."
"Brother Zuo's strength could have been broken through at any time, he just lacked a certain opportunity."
The masters of metaphysics who had good relations with the Zuo family congratulated him one after another.
Shi Miao could tell from the exaggerated expressions of some people that they must have known about this in advance. She joined the crowd in congratulating Zuo Haoran, and then took the opportunity to send a stream of life force into Zuo Haoran's body. The life force enveloped the dragon vein, and the dragon vein couldn't help but turn over.
Zuo Haoran felt something stir within him, but the movement was fleeting, so fleeting it seemed like an illusion. He suppressed the strange feeling and said with dignity, "I'm just lucky. You all will reach this point sooner or later. Unfortunately, I was at home when I achieved my breakthrough, and the opportunity came so suddenly that I didn't have time to invite everyone to witness it."
"As long as Brother Zuo doesn't forget us old friends and is willing to give us some pointers from time to time, we will keep it in mind."
Zuo Haoran said, "This is as it should be. I also hope that our country's metaphysics can regain its former glory. Although I have been abroad over the years, my heart has always been with China. You don't know how happy I was when I learned that our country had produced two Jindan Grandmasters."
