I am a living immortal.

In addition, with Yin Jianshan watching closely from the side, he might not dare to take action.

Listening to Cao Chen's introduction, this is a story of misfortune for an alien from the Tianyan Sect.

But anyway, this was his fate, and no matter how many times he was given the choice, he would still choose to go down the mountain. After all, his personality was there, and he and those old stubborn people just didn't agree on the same ideas, and it wouldn't be comfortable to force them to stay together.

Twisted melons are not sweet.

There was one thing Cao Chen didn't mention: he still had a certain amount of pride and persistence. As one of the few geniuses in the Tianyan Sect over the past thousand years, he possessed an exceptional talent for divination and deduction. But geniuses always have their quirks.

He believed that only by constantly gaining knowledge could one bring the art of deduction to its full potential. Staying indoors and relying on a flash of inspiration would ultimately not be very accurate.

So he came out.

So he was in trouble.

Wasn't this a test, an opportunity? In the face of life-or-death crisis, human potential is limitless. Under normal circumstances, without life-threatening circumstances, asking him to calculate an enlightened being would be nothing but a pipe dream. But under the threat of death, he calculated it, not directly, but through the intricate connections he left in the world.

So, fortune and misfortune are interdependent.

Although if he had a choice, he would rather not have it.

He didn't dare to say it out loud. After all, it was he who brought trouble to the door, and then he stirred up a hornet's nest of the innate gods and got himself involved again.

If the old goat asked him to tell fortunes, he would do it; if he asked him to go east, he would never dare to go west. This was a strong desire to survive. Cao Chen was still able to distinguish this. Face was not worth mentioning in front of life, so he let it go.

But none of this had anything to do with the two of them, and they couldn't care less. As for the prince, he could only wish him the best.

The restaurant was bustling with activity, the past martial arts tournaments still a source of much talk. By the time the waiter brought the warmed wine, snow had already begun to fall, blanketing Jiangnan in a blanket of white.

Drinking a glass of wine and savoring delicious food is indeed a refined experience. But the old goat had a reason for coming here today. Soon, a figure emerged from the snow and entered the restaurant, shaking off the snowflakes from his cloak. The chill on his body dissipated as he entered the restaurant.

The visitor walked step by step to the table where Old Sheep was sitting. It was Chen Tao, whom he had not seen for a long time.

After they parted, they met again several months later. Although Chen Tao's face had not changed at all, the old goat still noticed the expression on his face. It was the expression that would appear when a young man first entered the world of martial arts.

Chen Tao, who had disappeared for several months, had not been idle in the past few months. Instead, he was handling the affairs of the Jianghu Lou family. Since he was leaving, he had to deal with the affairs that tied him up first.

It’s actually not that easy to leave the Lou family in Jianghu.

But Chen Tao finally managed to do it after spending several months. No one knew how much he had spent, how much effort he had put in. He only knew that he was now at ease.

Since he wants to pursue a completely new world, he naturally has to face it with a completely new attitude.

“Is everything done?”

Chen Tao smiled and nodded, "It's all done."

"That's good." The old goat smiled. It had to be said that Chen Tao was a friend that the old goat recognized. The old goat rarely made friends, and although he didn't say it directly, everyone could see it.

Suffice it to say.

And the old goat also knew what Chen Tao was here for.

"Please sit down. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Chen Tao sat down without hesitation and poured himself a glass of wine.

"Have you heard about the martial arts tournament?"

"I know. People are discussing this on the streets. Even if you don't want to know, you know it. Although I failed to keep the world of martial arts in my mind, things have come to this point, so let it go. I'm leaving anyway, and this world of martial arts can never go back to the way it was before. Time is moving forward, everything is changing, and the world has always been like this." Chen Tao said with a smile.

"Since you have made up your mind, there is no need to say anything else." The old goat raised his glass and toasted Chen Tao.

Chen Tao did the same, drinking the warm wine in one gulp. This was a farewell drink.

There were snowflakes falling outside, which was quite appropriate.

"Have you figured out how to go?"

Chen Tao nodded. Although he didn't know where Yan Chao was, he had a rough idea of ​​the direction and was prepared before leaving the Shanshuilou family.

The old goat thought for a moment, then reached into his sleeve and pulled out a scroll, handing it to Chen Tao: "I still have things to do, so I'll give this to you. I look forward to seeing you again in Yan Dynasty."

Chen Tao took it solemnly: "Don't worry, we will see each other again. Goodbye then."

The old goat didn't say what the scroll was, and Chen Tao didn't ask. After finishing the glass of wine, he stood up.

“Let’s go.”

Without hesitation, he turned around and pulled up his hood. Chen Tao embarked on his journey, his figure gradually submerged in the snow until it completely disappeared.

This snowfall is for one person. Parting is always a little sad, but only for a moment. Everyone has a pursuit in their heart; coming and going is perfectly normal.

We will meet again.

Neither Shenlong nor Cao Chen spoke, merely watching silently. They were unfamiliar with Chen Tao, so they weren't affected by the atmosphere. The old goat still had that expressionless face.

Cao Chen looked at the departing figure and said slowly, "It's auspicious, have a safe trip."

The old goat then retracted his gaze, looked at Cao Chen and suddenly smiled: "Did you figure it out?"

But the old man shook his head and said: "This is not a calculation, but a blessing."

The old goat was stunned for a moment, and then his smile became more genuine.

"I didn't realize you were so good at talking."

"After all, you have to rely on this industry to make a living. How to say it, how to say it, to touch the listener's heart and make the listener happy, this is the basic skill of this industry. You can find any fortune teller on the street to do it." Cao Chen said truthfully.

“It’s not easy, it’s not easy.”

"Su Mu will definitely like you very much." said the old goat.

"Can I ask a question?" Cao Chen asked weakly.

"Ask, I'm in a good mood." The old goat said bluntly, pouring himself a glass of wine.

"You kept me here because that Immortal Venerable wanted to find the innate god?"

"Not necessarily. But maybe. After all, he needs to find the Innate God only because he needs to comprehend the rules of heaven and earth, and the Innate God is just the embodiment of the concept of the rules of heaven and earth, which is more convenient for comprehending and can also be used to rob and defeat others. You also heard what he said, the war is not far away." The old goat pointed at the mirage dragon and said.

"Of course, the main reason is that the Xiantian God is extremely wealthy."
