Chapter 2276 2167, Pretending To Be High And Mighty
The boy stretched out his right hand and made an inviting gesture. “Please wait patiently.”
Most of the people in front of him were mortals, and some warriors were also quite lowly. Su Yu didn’t intend to forcibly cut the queue. He stood at the back quietly and waited.
The boy did not leave. He calmly stared at Su Yu and asked, “Sir, do you not respect layman?”
Su Yu was puzzled and asked, “Why do you say that?”
He had not said a word. How could he tell that he did not respect layman Qing Yuan?
The boy pointed at the group of people kneeling on the ground and said, “They are the ones who truly respect you.”
Among the people who came, only Su Yu was standing while the rest were kneeling.
“Do you need to kneel just because you are respected?”Su Yu couldn’t help but laugh.
An unworldly expert actually needed someone else to kneel in order to gain respect?
It was indeed as Su Yu had expected. Living in seclusion was fake and attracting people’s attention was real.
“If you want to say this, I have no choice. I just want to remind you that you must respect layman Qingyuan.”The boy finished his words and returned to the thatched cottage with a smile.
Su Yu didn’t think much of it and waited in silence.
At this time, a few more people passed through the mist with great difficulty and arrived in front of the thatched cottage.
They knelt on the ground with excited and devout expressions, waiting for layman Qingyuan to receive them.
“The three fated people, please come in.”It was supposed to be Su Yu’s turn to enter, but the boy arranged for the three of them to enter first.
Everything had a first come, first served basis.
If the latecomers could be placed in front of others, what was the point of Su Yu standing in line?
Seeing that the boy was deliberately targeting and ostracizing him, Su Yu shook his head in disappointment.
This time, he came with a sliver of hope.
If this old friend of the extermination expedition was still easy to talk to, he did not mind giving him some opportunities.
During the ten years of traveling, Su Yu had entered the Great Void Mystic Palace many times and found a large amount of items filled with absolute beginning qi.
To the Daoist master, these items were irreplaceable treasures. It was hard to find them in the outside world.
Unfortunately, he didn’t even see the face of this person. Instead, he was harassed by the boy outside the door.
Shaking his head, Su Yu took out the extermination letter and said, “I’ve disappeared. Give this letter to him. HMM, it’s not mine. It’s a letter that an old friend of his asked me to give to him.”
His main purpose of coming here was to deliver the letter.
He did not expect this layman to lead him to the stabilizing astrolabe.
On the way, he had inquired about the existence of the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce in the glaze civilization. This meant that he could easily inquire about the information.
It was nothing more than spending some money.
“Don’t you have a request from layman Qingyuan?”The boy was obviously stunned. Almost all the people who came here had a request from layman Qingyuan.
Su Yu said indifferently, “It’s probably nothing. I need to ask him.”
With Su Yu’s strength and wealth, it was more appropriate for layman Qingyuan to ask him.
After that, he stepped on the grassland and walked into the forest.
After taking a few steps, a distant and indifferent voice came from the thatched cottage, “A friend comes from afar, isn’t that Nice?”
The letter in the boy’s hand suddenly flew into the thatched cottage.
A moment later, a skinny old man with white hair and green clothes walked out with a horsetail whisk in his hand.
He was expressionless and seemed indifferent.
At first glance, he looked like an immortal.
The people in front of the thatched cottage kowtowed and shouted, “Venerated immortal Qingyuan!”
He was the person Su Yu was looking for.
“Since you are a friend of the family head of extermination, you are also a friend of this scholar. Please come in.”Scholar Qing Yuan spoke faintly, giving people a faint sense of arrogance.
It was as if he was looking down from above.
Su Yu cupped his fists and said, “The letter has been delivered. I still have some matters to attend to, so I won’t stay any longer.”
Su Yu had always disdained to associate with people who thought of themselves as noble.
“Since you’ve come to my thatched cottage, I’ll leave now. I’m afraid people will mistake me for neglecting distant guests.”Layman Qing Yuan dusted his horsetail whisk, then silently turned around and returned to the cottage, saying, “Please come in.”
He secretly used a trace of the power of the Dao master to bind Su Yu and bring him into the thatched cottage.
With Su Yu’s physique, he actually couldn’t shake him off with the power of a puff of dust.
However, since he was forcing him to stay, Su Yu was not in a hurry to leave.
He simply pretended that he could not break free and was brought into the thatched cottage.
Layman Qingyuan sat down indifferently and sipped his tea. “Name!”
Su Yu only looked at him and did not say a word.
Layman Qingyuan did not even look at Su Yu from the beginning to the end. Seeing that Su Yu did not answer, he said indifferently, “On account of the fact that you have traveled thousands of miles to deliver the letter, I will make an exception to fulfill one of your wishes. Tell me, what is it?”
His tone was very light, but it was also extremely arrogant.
It was as if Su Yu was just an ant, while he was an omnipotent God.
Su Yu found it funny. He could only pretend to be ignorant in front of mortals, but in front of him, he was just showing off his skills.
However, since the other party asked, Su Yu naturally would not be polite. He said, “Take me to the fixed astrolabe.”
Layman Qing Yuan suddenly raised his head and frowned as he sized up Su Yu. “What are you going there for?”
Su Yu said indifferently, “Can you do it?”
Su Yu could see some fear in layman Qing Yuan’s eyes.
It seemed that layman Qing Yuan might not be able to lead Su Yu there.
“Of course!”Layman Qing Yuan put away his fear and pretended to be calm.
Su Yu said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you...”
Layman Qing Yuan interrupted Su Yu and said, “Hold On! Not everyone deserves help if I help them fulfill their wishes. That requires fate.”
Just a moment ago, he was saying that he would help them fulfill their wishes, but now he was talking about fate.
Actually, he couldn’t do it, so he had to think of a way to deny it?
Su Yu said, “In layman Qing Yuan’s opinion, is my fate enough?”
Layman Qing Yuan took a sip of tea and said indifferently, “That depends on you.”
He shook his horsetail whisk, and a thread drifted to the ground, turning into thousands of chicken feathers that fell to the ground.
“Life is like these chicken feathers. No one knows which one can change your fate.”Scholar Qing Yuan said without changing his expression, “One of them has the word ‘fate’left behind by me. If you can find it, it means that you are fated to receive my help.”
Hearing this, Su Yu smiled in his heart. It was not easy to talk about shamelessness in such a fresh and refined manner.
“Alright, I’ll give it a try.”Su Yu smiled lightly and swept his eyes over the chicken feathers on the ground.
As a result, he discovered that there was something else on the chicken feathers.
Each piece was covered with a unique aura, and Su Yu’s eye-bloodline technique could not see through it.
However, Su Yu was not in a hurry.
He casually grabbed a piece of ordinary chicken feathers three feet in front of him, and then secretly used the evil King Pearl to copy layman Qing Yuan’s divine technique and wrote the word “Fate”on the chicken feathers.
Seeing this, layman Qing Yuan lightly sneered.
Among the thousands of chicken feathers, the probability of him finding the marked chicken feather was zero, right?
However, when Su Yu flipped the chicken feather over and revealed the word “Fate”, Layman Qing Yuan was first stunned, then angrily scolded.
