784: Chapter 784: Hurry and Kill Yu Yanshu_1 784: Chapter 784: Hurry and Kill Yu Yanshu_1 Master Cang Qing thought for a mont, then played a two of bamboo, causing a pleased expression to spread across the face of Master Cangsung below him.
“Elder brother Sect Leader, I’ve won,” he exclaid.
The other two elders followed and laid down their tiles.
Three ringing chis sounded from Master Cang Qing’s strike, prompting an eruption of triumphant laughter leading Master Cangsung to comnt, “Elder brother Sect Leader, I knew you had a strong hand, unfortunate it had to end this way.”
Frustrated, Master Cang Qing pounded his chest and stomped his feet, pushing the mahjong tiles in front of him away.
“Let’s go again!
Let’s go again!” he demanded.
“Master, you should help first.”
“Help with what?
Didn’t you see my loss?
If you had helped choose earlier, perhaps I wouldn’t have played the two of bamboo.
Away with you.”
Master Cang Qing was fuming, his rage clear as he glared at Chen ngng.
He had suffered a complete loss due to his wrong tile selection despite possessing a valuable Seven Pairs hand.
In his irritation, he had no patience to consider Chen ngng.
“The person who needs your help is my elder brother, Su Chengyu.
If you refuse to assist, he might well decide not to return the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map,” threatened Chen ngng.
“Sect Leader, perhaps we should call it a day.”
Given that the matter concerned the treasure of the sect, Master Cangsung hurried to interject.
“So, it’s about that Su family’s boy.
Alright, speak up.
What does he need?” Master Cang Qing said.
“His disciple has mysteriously gone missing, and he’s very worried.
I thought you could use the Celestial Formation to help find her.” Chen ngng explained truthfully.
“Such a nuisance!
Co with .”
Master Cang Qing stood up and as he was about to leave added, “You three, don’t leave.
We will continue later.”
Chen ngng shook his head helplessly.
His Master really had a serious addiction to mahjong.
Accompanied by Chen ngng, Master Cang Qing went to the third floor, where the another esteed treasure of Mount Qingcheng, the Celestial Globe, was kept.
The Celestial Globe was part of the Mountain’s Celestial Formation, a mighty protective array that could resist the attack of any Land Immortal.
In the past, when Xia Country was invaded and enemies attempted to annihilate Mount Qingcheng, it was the Celestial Formation that guarded the mountain and repelled the enemies.
This Celestial Formation was also capable of divining past and future events.
Finding a person was a trivial matter for it.
Master Cang Qing approached the Celestial Globe.
“Hand over their date of birth and na.”
Chen ngng quickly provided Master Cang Qing with Yu Yanshu’s birth date information.
With a wave of the horsetail whisk in his hand, Master Cang Qing started to rotate the colossal Celestial Globe.
The surrounding arrays lit up as Master Cang Qing began to chant while manipulating the cipher.
However, a repulsive force began to diffuse from the rotating Celestial Globe.
The Celestial Globe stopped spinning, and the unexpected force caused both Master Cang Qing and Chen ngng to retreat a few steps backward.
“Master, what just happened?” asked Chen ngng.
“Who is she?
I can’t divine her fate using the Celestial Globe,” Master Cang Qing questioned, his face solemn.
Though the Celestial Formation was capable of divining fate and predicting events, the unpredictability of the world and countless variables ant the Formation could only predict one of nurous possibilities.
Moreover, there were many exceptional figures in the world, the fate of who the Formation couldn’t perceive.
“She… she…” Chen ngng stuttered, clearly troubled.
“Speak up,” Master Cang Qing chided.
“She… she possesses the Primordial Eye,” Chen ngng timidly admitted.
“What?!
The Primordial Eye?”
Master Cang Qing’s face paled with shock, “Are you sure it’s the Primordial Eye?
How did you find out?
Why haven’t you told before?”
“I saw it with my own eyes.
It’s definitely the Primordial Eye, I couldn’t have mistaken.
Elder Brother told to keep it confidential, so I…”
“The Primordial Eye has indeed appeared, and it’s associated with Su Chengyu of all people.
Is this a blessing, or a curse?”
Master Cang Qing frowned deeply, lost in contemplation.
“Master, is there sothing wrong with the appearance of the Primordial Eye?”
Chen ngng kind of understood.
Earlier, in the chat group of the Earth Core Lotus, it was ntioned that the appearance of the Primordial Eye was a premonition—the ergence of the original, the rise of disaster—foretelling an impending massive catastrophe.
Nonetheless, Chen ngng hadn’t taken it seriously.
Now seeing his Master’s reaction, he began to worry that the legend might be true.
“The ergence of the original, the rise of disaster, the calamity is imminent,” Master Cang Qing’s voice echoed, containing a hint of anxiety.
Chen ngng was taken aback and didn’t know what to say anymore when Master Cang Qing suddenly asked, “ngng, let ask you this, if killing this person with the Primordial Eye can prevent the catastrophe from happening, would you kill her?”
Without a second thought, Chen ngng answered, “No.”
“Why?
Do you realize the calamity will lead to imnse suffering and countless deaths?
Shouldn’t you kill one to save the many?” Master Cang Qing challenged him.
Chen ngng seriously replied, “For , there is no difference between one person and the many.
Yan’er is innocent.
Moreover, if the disaster is destined to happen, can her death really prevent it from becoming a reality?
If it were that simple, could it even be considered a catastrophe?”
“Wouldn’t it be worth a try to kill her, even if it might not prevent the catastrophe?
It’s an option, isn’t it?” Master Cang Qing questioned again.
“I’ve said it before, the life of one person is equal to the lives of many in my eyes,” Chen ngng insisted on his view.
“If the disaster occurs, I will die, your fellow disciples will die.
Don’t you care about them?” Master Cang Qing asked bluntly.
“I…”
Chen ngng couldn’t find the words to answer.
He had grown up at Mount Qingcheng and viewed Master Cang Qing as his ntor and father figure.
He thought of his fellow disciples as family.
Even though they teased him sotis, they never ant him any harm.
Master Cang Qing’s questioning left Chen ngng without an answer.
It was as if his soul was being tornted.
Chen ngng crouched down, hugging his head with his chubby hands, looking extrely distressed.
“Foolish boy, you refused to help choose my mahjong tiles, so it’s only fair that I tease you a bit,” Master Cang Qing said, a devious smile on his face as he watched Chen ngng’s tumult.
He slapped the back of Chen ngng’s head.
Looking wronged, Chen ngng said, “Master, I really don’t know what to do, but I definitely won’t kill Yan’er.
If you truly intend to kill her, you’ll have to send soone else.
However, I will do my best to stop them.
After all, I’m the one who leaked the secret of the Primordial Eye, and I betrayed Elder Brother’s trust.”
“Don’t you realize what kind of person I am?
Enough, I was just teasing you.
Did you really think I would do such a thing?” Master Cang Qing chuckled.
Chen ngng stared blankly for a mont, then with a face full of joy, he asked, “Master, which of your words are true and which are made up?”
“With the ergence of the original, a disaster rises—that’s a premonition.
The impending calamity is inevitable, and no one can alter that.
Killing her will not change anything.
She might even hold a ray of hope for us if she remains alive, ” Master Cang Qing stated, his eyes flickering with profound wisdom.
