Chapter 460: Play With Words
"Sit!"
"Master, I..."
"It's okay."
"Yes."
"Under this Tree of Enlightenment, many people once sat. In that era, each of them was an outstanding being."
"Master, then I..."
"You don't need to say that. In addition to outstanding people, other people also sat under this tree. They became nutrients and became the nourishment of this tree. As for the final outcome, it still depends on one person's good fortune."
"Master, I surely can't do it."
"There used to be a person who claimed to have crossed from the modern world to the ancient world. On that day, on a ruined monument, he also sat under the Tree of Enlightenment, but he was very courageous."
"Huh? From the modern world to the ancient world hundreds of millions of years ago?"
"Well, his name is Ye Fan!"
"Master, then, have you seen him in this era?"
"No, I don't bother to look for him. Maybe he already disappeared when I lived in Kunlun Mountain."
"It's too unbelievable. People in this era can even go to the era that has died out. However, everything can be explained on Master's side. Master, what did that person do since you said he was courageous?"
"He called the Tree of Enlightenment the Ancient Enlightenment Tea Tree, and he picked the fruit on it and the leaves on it."
"This"
"However, in that era, he really succeeded in enlightenment."
"Then, he can be regarded as a great man."
"It's a pity that no matter what era, no matter how outstanding people are, there will be a day when they die."
Under the Tree of Enlightenment, Ye Bei and Wang An sat face to face, and they talked in a leisurely voice, everything seemed to be extremely calm.
Over time, Wang An's complexion grew older and older as if the lamp would be burned out at any time.
As for Ye Bei, time couldn't leave any traces on him at all.
Any time, he seemed to be full of vitality and incompatible with this world.
The two sat here for a long time.
In a blink of an eye, it was already nighttime.
When the morning sun just rose the next day, the silence under the Tree of Enlightenment was broken by a discordant voice.
"Mr. Sheng Bei, you have killed a lot of Japanese and almost destroyed Japan which is inhumane. Now, you really still have the intention to sit here and be respectable?"
The voice was soft and obviously cold.
Ye Bei just stayed still.
Under the tree, Wang An suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head, and looked in the direction of the sound source.
"You came from very far away just want to say this?" After seeing the person coming, Wang An spoke with a cold voice.
The person was a man.
He did not look young nor old, probably in his 50s or 60s. He was wearing a dark red blouse with an old brown scepter in his hand. The skin on his face was rosy and shiny, and he looked very alive. There was a lot of kindness and love in his pupils, which made people want to be close and convinced at first glance.
Wang An knew this man and even met him in Kunlun Mountain eight years ago.
He was one of the most powerful people in the world. With a wave of his arm, countless people would die for him.
After hearing Wang An's words, the man's eyes were faint as he sighed, "Old Immortal, Old Immortal, it seems that you are not doing very well recently. When I saw you eight years ago, I was shocked, thinking that you were a real living Old Immortal, but now, you are too old, as if you are going to die at any time."
Then the man immediately turned his gaze on Ye Bei again.
His body trembled a little, and an unknown fear rose from the bottom of his heart, but in an instant, it converged, "Mr. Sheng Bei, for that I can see you in my lifetime, I am very pleased and very happy. But there are some things I have never understood it, please ask Mr. Sheng Bei to answer for me..."
His voice was quite sincere, but when he said this, he tried hard to show a look as if he was high above and regarded all beings as ants.
"When facing Master, I advise you not to overdo it, and speak carefully." Wang An always felt something was wrong and reminded him coldly.
As for Ye Bei, his indifferent gaze swept across the middle-aged man gently.
For his outfit and what was said, he didn't have much curiosity.
"What's the matter!"
After a pause for less than a second, Ye Bei showed a slight interest.
"Don't worry, Old Immortal, I won't mess around."
The middle-aged man, standing more than ten meters away from the Tree of Enlightenment, then said to Wang An before he looked at Ye Bei instead, "Mr. Sheng Bei, you have lived for so long, but this is still the first time I have seen you face to face. Many of your deeds are in legends. There are also a lot of records on our side, but there are many of them that I don't believe very much. The question I want to ask this time is also a temporary idea..."
"Eight years ago, when I saw the Old Immortal, he looked very full of energy, but now, he looks very old as if he is going to return to the earth at any time! Is it possible that your secret to longevity is to absorb the vitality of others?"
The middle-aged man squinted his eyes, those eyes seemed to be swept over Wang An inadvertently.
Wang An immediately felt a little uncomfortable.
"Also, for a long time, the Old Immortal has always been the top existences in this world. He is the real living god. Even the person in charge over there must give him face... even if the heads of countries see him, they have to be respectful, but I heard that on your side, Mr. Sheng Bei, the Old Immortal is just a lowly servant?"
The middle-aged man's voice continued as his brows were raised slightly. It was clear that he was here to provoke the concern between Ye Bei and Wang An.
Unfortunately, his cleverness was used in a completely wrong place.
"Master will always be Master, and I, Wang An, will be his servant forever. I have never regretted this matter. If all you have to say is this, I am afraid that you have miscalculated!" Wang An's expression was cold like ice.
"Mr. Sheng Bei, what do you think?"
The middle-aged man was originally quite confident, but after hearing Wang An's words, he felt his heart tremble, but soon, he turned his eyes on Ye Bei again and asked in a strange tone of yin and yang.
"In my eyes, whether it is Little An or the human beings in this entire world, they are nothing more than ants. If you have finished speaking, you can leave."
Ye Bei's voice was still that indifferent and uncaring.
With this, the pupils of the middle-aged man suddenly shrank, and an unpleasant feeling appeared in his heart.
