But True Man Situ, skilled in the algorithms of the Great Dao and having controlled Mystery Valley for many years, naturally knew more about some inner details than others.
Bai Qiancheng’s expression was cold and slightly proud, but she was still very respectful towards True Man Situ and nodded, saying:
“Senior Situ.”
True Man Situ hesitated for a moment before finally speaking:
“Before True Man Bai came here, did the ancestor of the Bai Family give any instructions?”
Bai Qiancheng’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, “Senior Situ, what do you want to ask?”
True Man Situ didn’t want to inquire too deeply, but sighed and said:
“At my age, I fear death, so, I just ask about good or bad fortune.”
It was about the Heavenly secret and the chance of the Great Dao.
No matter what, he had to come this time.
But at this moment, he found that the opportunity was very peculiar; no matter how he calculated or deduced, the path ahead was a blur.
Having lived for so many years and becoming crafty with age, he wanted to leave a contingency plan to protect his foundation at this time.
The estate of Mystery Valley was large, and the younger generation’s learning of calculations was not refined; they still relied on him to support everything. He could not afford to give up his life here…
Bai Qiancheng was somewhat surprised; she didn’t expect True Man Situ, as a senior, to be so candid.
After thinking, she said, “The ancestors didn’t want me to come…”
“But because of some reasons… I had to come…”
“Before I left, the ancestor only gave me one instruction, telling me to…”
Bai Qiancheng paused, then slowly revealed four words: “Stand by and watch…”
“Stand by and watch?”
True Man Situ was momentarily stunned, shocked in his heart.
Why would it be… stand by and watch?
They didn’t care anymore, didn’t ask, didn’t seek, no longer pursuing that…
True Man Situ’s face showed varying expressions, overcome with emotion.
Having said as much as she wished, Bai Qiancheng clasped her hands and said, “Junior takes her leave.”
Until Bai Qiancheng had walked far away, True Man Situ remained motionless, standing in place, his brow deeply furrowed, murmuring to himself:
“Impossible…”
