3061 Who Is That Elder Qian?

His gaze was like a torch, and his eyes could not tolerate anyone else. "Elder Qian, a question has been troubling me for many years. I happened to b.u.mp into you today. I wonder if it's convenient for you to clear my doubts over a cup of tea next door."

"This?" Elder Qian hesitated for a moment.

The black-robed old man was extremely excited. He even pleaded, "I'm sincere. Please give me a chance."

Elder Qian could tell Smith was not easy to deal with, so he decided to do Ye w.a.n.gchuan a favor. He lowered his eyes and waved his hand. "Forget it, I'm not busy either."

"Let's go!" Smith stopped worrying about whether Qiao Nian would accept the gift and hurriedly turned to leave.

Elder Qian stopped him and approached Qiao Nian. His gentle and loving gaze landed on the girl before moving to her baseball cap. His gaze became even gentler. "Little girl, I heard you research atomic energy."

Qiao Nian had always been cool in front of others, but this time, she restrained herself and replied respectfully, "I only know a little."

Seeing how humble she was, Elder Qian smiled and patted her shoulder encouragingly. "It's already not easy for you to enter the sect at your age. If you can know even a bit about it, it means you're extremely talented. In time, if you can go into it more seriously, you'll definitely achieve something. Best of luck!"

Qiao Nian's eyes burned with anger. Her dark eyelashes lowered and her grip on the baseball cap tightened. Her voice lowered. "I should be studying medicine in the future. Atomic energy is too destructive and contradicts what I'm pursuing. Perhaps"

Elder Qian continued, "I've heard many people say this before."

Qiao Nian raised her eyes and subconsciously looked at the old man.

The silver-haired old man's gaze was gentle and clear. It contained the calm power that time had given him. It was so gentle that it brushed past like the wind. "But, little girl, isn't the destructive thing the human heart?

"Atomic energy has always been academic research. There's no difference between medical research and what you're talking about. It's just that humans pursue different aspects of knowledge. If the person who masters it uses it rightly, it's to save people. On the other hand, if they use it wrongfully, it's harmful.

"Atomic energy can be like this, and so can medicine."

Qiao Nian was stunned and did not answer.

Elder Qian only exchanged a few words with her. Seeing that it was about time, and Smith was still waiting for him, he looked at the time and said to the stunned girl, "No matter what, happy birthday, little girl."

He said a few more words to Ye w.a.n.gchuan before patting the man's shoulder and saying goodbye.

Ye w.a.n.gchuan immediately asked Gu San to send him out.

Gu San's expression was respectful as he bent down and invited Elder Qian and Smith to follow him.

The three of them quickly left.

"I didn't expect to see Elder Qian in my life. It was worth it coming here today. Too worth it." Master Cheng watched them leave and was unable to calm down, his face still filled with excitement.

Bo Jingxing did not understand and tilted his head to ask, "Who is this Elder Qian? Why are you so excited?"

Master Cheng glanced at him from the corner of his eye and said, "I'm just a student in front of him! Of course I'm excited to see him!"

Bo Jingxing was extremely surprised.

Master Cheng was already at the top in the Ninth Branch. If even Master Cheng wors.h.i.+ped him, what level of master was he?
