Chapter 380: Who Does Martial Aunt Miao Yue Admires

After Chen Xi finished speaking, she poured herself a cup of tea.

She proceeded to take a sip.

She looked at Jiang Lan, not saying anything.

It was as if she was waiting for Jiang Lan to digest what she said so that it would be easier for them to continue their conversation.

At this moment.

Jiang Lan lowered his eyebrows.

He fell into deep thought.

Breaking the shackles of talent?

In the past, due to his talent, he was unable to advance quickly.

In fact, he even needed external help to advance to the Essence Soul Realm.

Becoming an immortal was even harder.

His first attempt at the inn had failed. He could not even find the gate of immortality.

In the end, he was able to successfully become an immortal because

His master had given him a thousand years of providence, allowing him to receive the gift of karmic luck and obtain the Creation Pill once again.

Only then did he successfully enter the Human Immortal realm.

After that, he began to rapidly advance.

He was no longer stopped by the shackles of talent.

He didn't even need external help to advance.

No matter how difficult it was, he could breeze past it.

It was because his cultivation talent could no longer restrain him.

Was this what his Martial Aunt meant about breaking the shackles of talent?

If it was, he'd already broken it.

Furthermore, he had the help of the system, the Netherworld Cave and the G.o.ddess Diagram.

His progress was much faster than ordinary people.

In addition to comprehending the Dao, his cultivation speed never slowed down.

Now, he was at the late-stage Heaven Immortal Realm.

Perhaps in another sixty to seventy years, he would reach perfection.

Once his golden body refinement ended, he would advance to a Celestial Immortal.

However, he still had to wait a hundred years to know if he could successfully advance.

There was no need to rush now.

"Have you roughly understood what I just said?" Chen Xi placed the teacup on the table.

"En, I do." Jiang Lan nodded.

He did understand a little.

"How do you feel when you know that you have an endless future ahead of you?" Chen Xi asked Jiang Lan.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Lan spoke.

"I will have the urge to work harder to increase my cultivation, gain more knowledge, experience more changes, yet maintain my original mindset and heart at the same time. By doing so, I will be able to match what I might have in the future."

Chen Xi looked at Jiang Lan in surprise.

This answer was beyond her expectations.

She had thought that Jiang Lan would be a little excited and even feel happy.

But he did not feel as such. He was still as hardworking as ever.

Then Chen Xi smiled.

"I suddenly understand your master.

Rumor has it you have a good temperament. I thought it was just child's play.

Unexpectedly, your temperament is indeed pretty good.

Well, let's get to the point."

Jiang Lan didn't know what she was implying but he just listened quietly.

What she was saying should roughly be related to him becoming an immortal.

"Becoming an immortal is somewhat difficult for you, but your answer just now allowed me to know that your heart is rather calm.

You are neither stressed or worried. This is good. If you panic before the gate of immortality, it will be easy for you to fail. You must remember this.

Of course, I can't help you much in the process of becoming an immortal. The only thing I can help you with is to clear your doubts." Chen Xi looked at Jiang Lan and said seriously.

"I'm good at divination. Is there anything you wish to know or are puzzled about?

You can even ask me to help you deduce the most likely obstacle you will experience in the process of becoming an immortal."

With that said, Chen Xi continued to add tea for herself and waited for Jiang Lan to think.

No one could give an answer to such a question immediately.

One would have to weigh the pros and cons of the question one wanted to ask before deciding.

Presumably, Jiang Lan was someone who understood the severity of things.

If he asked directly if he could become immortal

He might harm himself instead.

There was a chance that his confidence would increase but there was also a chance that his confidence would be beaten.

If it was deduced that he couldn't succeed, his mental state would no longer be peaceful, making it extremely difficult for him to transcend his tribulation when the time came.

A divination could not represent everything.

Sometimes it could be untrue.

Jiang Lan looked down at the teacup in front of him.

He naturally wouldn't ask about becoming an immortal. This was extremely dangerous for him.

At such a close distance, it was easy for his Martial Aunt to find out about his real cultivation.

Therefore, he could not ask anything about himself.

This was not difficult.

He didn't need to deduce the path to immortality, he had his own steps.

But

What question should he ask?

If he did not ask anything, he felt that it was unsuitable.

A moment later.

Jiang Lan raised his head and looked at Chen Xi who was drinking tea.

"Have you thought it through? Are you asking about your Immortal Ascension?" Chen Xi asked.

A good question could help him advance to the Human Immortal Realm more easily.

"No." Jiang Lan shook his head.

"I have never doubted my path to immortality, so I don't intend to ask you about it."

"Then is it related to the G.o.ddess?" Chen Xi asked again.

It did not surprise her that he did not ask about his path to immortality.

From his words just now, she could already roughly guess.

Jiang Lan was a very opinionated person. He wouldn't change himself because of some simple things.

Of course

Most importantly, Jiang Lan had the confidence to become an immortal.

Or perhaps, he was hiding something and did not dare to let others divine about it.

Everyone liked to hide something.

"It has nothing to do with Senior Sister." Jiang Lan shook his head.

He indeed had many questions about his Senior Sister.

For example, if she was born with a sh.e.l.l or not.

Or where her clothes would go after she transforms into her dragon form.

However, these were his Senior Sister's private matters and he could not ask about it.

Jiang Lan intended to ask something that had nothing to do with him.

This way, his secrets would not be found out.

"Then is it something about your master?" Chen Xi asked.

"It's Martial Aunt Miao Yue." Jiang Lan answered.

"Oh?" This answer puzzled Chen Xi.

"Junior Sister Miao Yue?

What do you want to ask about her?

There aren't many questions you can ask. Don't waste your chance."

It wasn't so easy to get herself to answer questions and divine matters for others, but she was also curious about what Jiang Lan wanted to ask.

After nodding in understanding, Jiang Lan asked the question he had been wanting to ask.

"I heard that Martial Aunt Miao Yue admires someone. Does Martial Aunt know who that person is?"

"Your master," Chen Xi said directly.

She didn't even need to divine anything to come up with an answer.

Jiang Lan was stunned for a moment before saying.

"Really?"

Martial Aunt Miao Yue did not lie to him?

He felt that it was illogical. The feeling Martial Aunt Miao Yue gave him was very dangerous.

And she always seemed to have some hidden thoughts about him.

The slightest carelessness could lead to eternal d.a.m.nation.

He had always been vigilant towards Martial Aunt Miao Yue's words.

Chen Xi looked at Jiang Lan curiously.

Since he arrived, Jiang Lan's expression hadn't changed much. After chatting for a while, he still maintained his composure.

But when she said the answer to his question.

Jiang Lan's expression had changed.

He was surprised, happy and doubtful.

But he still maintained his rationality.

What kind of mental journey was this?

"This is no secret. Back when Miao Yue entered the sect, she practically cultivated with your master. It is only natural that she admires your master.

In her eyes, your master is an omnipotent Senior Brother. These feelings have been growing with her. From the looks of it, there shouldn't be a second person she admires, right?" Chen Xi said.

Jiang Lan frowned.

She was treating his master as a close Senior Brother?

If that was the case, then he could not consider Martial Aunt Miao Yue as a choice for his master's wife.

There was a difference between admiration and adoration.
