While Taoist Shuhai was watching various forces bidding for the rare magic artifact, the demon turtle on his shoulder suddenly shook, its eyes bulging. Its eyelids lifted, creating a comical expression.
The demon turtle looked in amazement at a box on the second floor when a dazzling green light nearly blinded it. It blinked hard, but it was still the same! It had discovered an extraordinary destiny. After a pause, the demon turtle nervously conveyed with its psychic voice, “Shuhai, do you recognize that young man?”
“Who?” Taoist Shuhai was puzzled by the tremor in the turtle’s voice.
“That one.”
The demon turtle gave Taoist Shuhai a signal, who then walked over to the railing of the box, looking at a green-robed youth inside a second-floor box. He frowned slightly and shook his head, saying, “I don’t know him.”
Then he looked at the demon turtle on his shoulder, puzzled, asking, “What’s wrong with him?”
“Befriend him, please him, even follow him!” The demon turtle stood up on its hind legs, turned its head to face Taoist Shuhai with an unusually serious look and conveyed with its psychic voice.
Taoist Shuhai was dumbstruck for a while:
When he regained his senses, Taoist Shuhai slowly widened his eyes to look at the demon turtle, nearly spitting in annoyance: “Do you understand what you’re saying? I am the direct disciple of Elder of the Grand Moon Palace! You want me to please and even follow him?”
“What qualifications does he have?”
“Who exactly is he?”
He didn’t recognize him, so obviously, he wasn’t any top prodigy from the Grand Moon Palace, just an ordinary cultivator.
Taoist Shuhai could tell at a glance that the youth was merely at the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, so weak, so ordinary, so unremarkable. While he himself, the Grand Moon Palace’s direct disciple, was at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm with an Earth-grade Spiritual Root, completely surpassing the other.
Was he supposed to follow such an ordinary cultivator? Was the old turtle out of its mind?
However, the demon turtle looked at him disdainfully and said, “Stop mentioning being a direct disciple of the Grand Moon Palace as if it is something noble. You’re always waving it around like a trophy, it’s disgraceful!”
“Do you know why I’m asking you to please him or even follow him?”
The demon turtle conveyed with its psychic voice, “Let me put it this way, you’re only of some value to me because you’re a tiny bit useful, so I let you tag along with me, enjoying good food and drinks together.”
“But when I saw that man, I wanted to kneel before him and ask him to be my boss. Do you understand this gap?
Damn it!
Taoist Shuhai stared at the demon turtle, totally taken aback. He had always been good at keeping his composure, but for some reason lately, things were going haywire.
Am I really that inferior?
However, after a while, Taoist Shuhai slowly calmed down, his face becoming significantly more grave. As he thought about what the demon turtle had said, his heart was suddenly filled with doubt and even uproar.
While the demon turtle spoke crudely, it was not without reason-
Taoist Shuhai had already witnessed the real abilities of the demon turtle.
Even though it was quite uncanny and shaman-like, it was indeed very mystical, showing some signs of Taoist cultivation, and definitely not an ordinary demon.
Even if he didn’t know the demon turtle’s real strength, Taoist Shuhai was clear about one thing: that was, he could not subdue the demon turtle, and the demon turtle’s strength might be beyond his expectation.
In that case, the demon turtle’s words couldn’t be taken as a joke!
Plus, it was obvious from the demon turtle’s appearance that it meant what it had just said!
In the demon turtle’s eyes, Taoist Shuhai only deserved to be a follower, but that person, in the demon turtle’s eyes, was worthy of being pleaded with for shelter.
This difference-
‘Why?’ Taoist Shuai wasn’t satisfied, a little upset. After all, he was a prodigy from the prominent Grand Moon Palace, so why was he inferior to him? Of course, he was also puzzled about the matter, so after half a moment of silence, Taoist Shuhai summoned a junior brother to go investigate Su Yu’s background.
It was impossible for him to follow, being a proud direct disciple of the Grand Moon Palace, he could never follow an unknown person!
But if it was just befriending him… huh, and pleasing him, then, perhaps, maybe, begrudgingly, he could do that.
After being deep in thought, Taoist Shuhai sighed and conveyed with his psychic voice, “You had better be telling the truth.”
However, the demon turtle was already eagerly looking over there, a bit impatient as it psychically conveyed, “Actually, if I hadn’t taken you as my follower and had a bit of karma to answer for, I might already be there by his side.”
Looking at the demon turtle, who was acting more like a sycophantic and shameless follower than himself, Taoist Shuhai was angered.
How could a turtle behave like this!
“Stop looking, have some dignity, alright?” Taoist Shuhai angrily but helplessly advised.
The demon turtle didn’t even turn its head and responded, “You don’t understand.”
Taoist Shuhai: ‘ . ‘ He felt a bit of heartache and wanted to weep. What was going on?
A moment later.
A junior brother came in holding a jade slip, respectfully saying, “Senior brother, this is the information purchased from the Heavenly Market Hall, covering everything from that man’s birth to the present.”
“You may leave.”
Taoist Shuhai took the jade slip and waved for the junior brother to leave. Then, he immersed his divine sense into the jade slip. Instantly, all the information about Su Yu was clear in his mind.
“Su Yu, the third patriarch of the Yunjian Sect’s Su Family, currently 67 years old, an inferior Five Elements Spiritual Root, at the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He is suspected to have cultivated both earth and wood mana. He is a mid-level second-rank alchemist and had made a superior Foundation Establishment Pill when he was at the first level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, showing exceptional talent in alchemy.”
“He is suspected to be a second-rank puppet and inscription master. The Su and Chen families both have seen the use of second-rank puppet beasts, and Su Yu has a second-rank puppet beast by his side. The use of second-rank inscriptions has been seen in the Su family, the Chen family, and even used by Su Zhi, giving this suspicion a credibility of 90 percent..”
