The air became a bit awkward after Li Qiye’s self-critique. For millions of years, people had a different perspective on Li Qiye.
Some considered him the savior, others thought that he was the dark hand behind the curtain, some also thought that he was a butcher…
The old man didn’t expect to be lucky enough to witness this mythical character. Only two outcomes would be the result of such a meeting - either extreme fortune or untold misfortune.
It seemed that he wasn’t part of the latter today.
“It is an honor to have you visiting our humble abode, a blessing accumulated from three lifetimes.” The old man bowed towards Li Qiye to show respect.
“I’m only here to drink duck soup. It’s a shame that I couldn’t get the real old one.” Li Qiye smiled.
The old man chuckled, naturally aware of Li Qiye’s joke. If he actually wanted it, he wouldn’t be sitting here right now.
“I’ve never expected you to show up again, Customer.” The old man said with reverence.
The words came from the heart because Li Qiye has been gone for too long. He disappeared during the previous epoch. Some said that he came to a different world, one that was far stronger. Others believed that he had ascended and became a true immortal. A few said that he died to the heavenly execution…
Only those who knew him thought that he was definitely alive, just not in this world.
The most shocking thing was his ability to return to the nine worlds. Now, the old man was lucky enough to see him. His life wasn’t wasted after witnessing this miracle.
In history, many characters have left without returning. For example, the emperors and dao lords. None could travel freely like this existence, leaving and returning, then repeating this unbelievable process.
“It’s an unlucky life. Struggling to reach the top only to fall back down, half-death. There’s no choice but to try again.” Li Qiye smiled.
“You’re the only one who can even climb it.” The old man praised.
Li Qiye’s comment sounded as if he lived a tough and unsuccessful life. Alas, the old man knew that the mountain here was accessible only to the Dark Crow. The other top supremes might not be eligible to embark on this path.
“Such praises make me feel as if I’m walking on air.” Li Qiye joked.
“This little one has a few questions. May I ask you about them?” The old man didn’t want to waste this opportunity. He didn’t want treasures and miracles either, only some answers.
Li Qiye glanced at him and waved his hand.
Qing Shi didn’t know what they wanted to talk about but Li Qiye’s intention was clear - for him to leave. Though he really wanted to stay despite being confused, he didn’t dare to go against Li Qiye and left the restaurant.
“Your golem race has a few talents.” Li Qiye said.
The old man glanced towards the door and said: “To earn your good graces is her fortune, a lifetime of benefits.”
