Flying Clouds in Another World

Liu Feiyun woke up from his daze. Seeing the sloppy old man's attire, he couldn't help but think of the fortune-telling and charlatan image in the TV dramas and movies of his previous life.

However, he did not dare to really regard this slovenly old man as a charlatan, so he bowed respectfully and said, "Disciple Liu Feiyun, hello to the senior! I am a newcomer to the Peeping Sky Pavilion this year, so I am here to pay my respects to the master."

"I'm new here! I just met a master! Who is your master? And you have to come to Yixin Island, could it be that nerd Cheng Xuyuan!"

"Uh! This! That! You are talking about my master!"

"It's really him! Oh! He even gave you a bag of books! Come, let me see what kind of crappy books he gave you!"

The sloppy old man's figure shook, and before Liu Feiyun could react, the book bag was already in his hands.

“Tsk tsk tsk tsk! What a mess of crappy books these are! ‘Zhou’s Mathematical Classic’, ‘Introduction to Multiple Dimensions’, ‘Simplified Prescriptions for Industry and Metallurgy’, ‘Miscellaneous Discussions on Crystal Stones’, ‘Thousands of Materials and Hundreds of Stones’, ‘Notes on the Mountains and Rivers’. What’s the point of reading these crappy books? Besides, you’re so young, you can’t understand them! Is this Cheng Daizi stupid?” The sloppy old man kept nagging as he flipped through his book bag!

After flipping through the book, Sloppy threw the book bag back to Liu Feiyun, then sighed and said, "Alas! It seems! There will be another little nerd in the Sky-penetrating Pavilion! Boy! I see that you have a unique bone structure and a strange appearance, which is very much to my taste. How about you learn the art of deducing the mysteries from me? It is just like the so-called Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Eight Trigrams, and the art of borrowing mountains and rivers to change the world and defy fate. What do you think? Are you willing to become my disciple and learn the skills that can reach the sky!"

Liu Feiyun looked at the sloppy old man helplessly, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

"Hey! Young Master! Look over there!" Liu Shihu next to him suddenly pointed in a direction and shouted.

Liu Feiyun looked over and saw a man who looked exactly like the slovenly old man humming a tune as he walked towards him a hundred meters away. The man's appearance, clothing, and even the flag in his hand were exactly the same as the old man in front of him.

"Senior! Could it be! That is your twin brother?" Liu Shihu pointed at the sloppy old man who had just arrived and asked the sloppy old man next to him.

"Asshole! I was wondering why the business has been getting worse in recent years, it turns out that you, a bastard, are ruining my reputation! Damn Shadow! You bastard, I'll teach you a lesson!" The sloppy old man next to him was immediately furious, and with a flash of his body, he pounced on the latecomer.

In a blink of an eye, two identical sloppy old men started fighting each other, and soon Liu Feiyun and the other man could no longer tell who was who.

"Assholes! You two are so outrageous. Why are you fighting in the sect!" The fight between the two elders naturally alarmed many people, but most people just took a look and no longer cared, and went about their own business. Only a few people were still watching the excitement. At this time, a man suddenly shouted and stopped the fight between the two. It was Ming Suanzi, the head of Kuitian Pavilion.

The two slovenly old men stopped fighting, came close to Mingsuanzi, and began to accuse each other of impersonating them. The voices and expressions of the two men were exactly the same.

Ming Suanzi stroked his forehead and said helplessly: "My little junior brother! Why did you go and provoke that charlatan! He is wrong nine times out of ten..."

"Nonsense! My fortune-telling skills have reached perfection and are never inaccurate. It's this damn bastard who ruined my reputation..." the two sloppy old men shouted in unison!

"You..." Ming Suanzi was about to continue speaking when suddenly a loud noise was heard, followed by the ground shaking a few times, and then countless pieces of gravel flew everywhere.

Liu Feiyun opened his mouth wide, staring blankly at a building on a hill a few miles away that suddenly exploded, with smoke and dust rising straight into the sky!

"Damn it! It's not even two days since that madman Ma got the crystal, and he's already caused such a big commotion! It's over! Now the 36th floor of the Sky-Viewing Pavilion is going to become the 35th floor! I just hope that madman Ma is okay!" Ming Suanzi muttered a few words, glared at the two sloppy old men, and said, "I'll settle the score with you later!" Then he hurried towards the exploded pavilion.

The two sloppy old men looked at each other and followed Ming Suanzi.

At this time, Cheng Xuyuan, who was startled by the explosion, also left the island in the middle of the lake. Seeing Liu Feiyun and the others still there, he asked about what happened just now. After listening to their stories, Cheng Xuyuan frowned and said to himself: "Why did this junior brother provoke the old charlatan? And that senior brother Ma is really too impatient!"

Liu Feiyun asked curiously: "Master! Aren't those two identical seniors just now twin brothers?"

"What twin brothers? There's almost a 20-year age difference between them! It's just that one of them has a supernatural disguise that's hard to tell apart."

"Disguise! Oh my god! This is not a disguise at all, it's simply a clone!" Liu Feiyun exclaimed, but then something happened and he asked cautiously: "Master, I wonder if I can learn this disguise from this relative!"

Cheng Xuyuan nodded and said, "Didn't I tell you this a long time ago? You can ask anyone in the Sky-peeking Pavilion for advice and learning. But your Uncle Ying is a bit strange, and it's hard to say whether he is willing to teach you. I will let you meet him. Okay! It's getting late! You should go back to Wuyin Peak as soon as possible! You can arrange your own time to come to the Sky-peeking Pavilion in the future."

Liu Feiyun thanked him again and then asked, "Master, my brother Liu Shihu is naturally interested in martial arts. I wonder if you can spare some time to teach him a thing or two."

Liu Shihu also looked at Cheng Xuyuan expectantly. Cheng Xuyuan looked at him, thought for a while, and then said, "Speaking of our Kuitian Pavilion, it is not known for its martial arts. However, there is indeed a cultivator with amazing combat power in our Kuitian Pavilion, but this person is immersed in the way of crystal stone formations and rarely fights with others, so no one knows about the few times. I will arrange for him to become a disciple of that person. However, Liu Shihu, if you become a disciple of that person, I am afraid you will suffer several times more than ordinary people. Can you bear it?"

Liu Shihu was overjoyed and said happily: "It's just hardship! No problem! I have experienced all kinds of hardship! I am not afraid of hardship! Thank you, Master!"

"Well then! In that case, come with me! Yun'er, you should go back as well!"

"Yes! Master!" the two answered at the same time.

From then on, Liu Feiyun began to travel back and forth between Wuyin Peak, Yaoxiang Valley, and Kuitian Pavilion, cultivating his essence, practicing martial arts, studying medicine, and reading books. In the blink of an eye, a long month had passed. During this period, although he went to Kuitian Pavilion several times, he never saw Liu Shihu again, and he didn't know where he went. As for the master of disguise who pretended to be a sloppy old man, he never saw him again.

"Perhaps, that person is not willing to accept a disciple!" Liu Feiyun thought.

That day, he came to Kuitian Pavilion again and went straight to Shuhai Pavilion on the small island in the middle of the lake, which was where his master Cheng Xuyuan often stayed.

As soon as he arrived in front of Shuhai Pavilion, he saw a man standing in front of the door, staring at him with a cold face.

"Master! Why are you here!" Liu Feiyun was extremely surprised.
