Monarch of Time

It wasn't just Shun Long who was startled when he heard this, but Liu Mei, Jiang Chen, Xie Xingyi, and Bai Longtian as well, as they all stared at the Grand Elder with disbelieving looks.

Aside from their group of 5 and Jiang Tianfang himself, no one else knew about Shun Long healing Jiang Chen's father, so how could the Grand Elder know about it?

The white-robed old woman, Mao Jing couldn't hide her shock either as she looked at the Grand Elder behind her, while a single thought flashed through her mind

''Is the Grand Elder joking? How could a late-stage Nascent Soul brat possibly heal someone like Jiang Tianfang? Even I couldn't heal his injury back then!''

Although Mao Jing was stunned, she didn't dare to interrupt the Grand Elder, as her gaze was soon focused on Shun Long as well.

The look on Shun Long's face slowly turned serious as he looked at the white-robed old man in front of him who still had that same, kind smile on his face as he waited for his answer.

Shun Long had the feeling that the Grand Elder wasn't grasping at straws right now, but from the look on his face, he had a certain degree of confidence in what he was saying.

However, Shun Long was also certain that neither Liu Mei, Jiang Chen, Xingyi, or Bai Longtian would mention Jiang Tianfang's situation to anyone. This came from the confidence and trust that he had towards them. As for Jiang Tianfang mentioning it by himself, that was equally as unlikely.

Almost as if he had guessed what Shun Long was thinking, the Grand Elder shook his head with the same amiable smile on his face before he continued

''Tell me, how could I possibly not notice Jiang Tianfang flying above my Holy sect 5 months ago?

s

Although others may not know about it, there is no way that Jiang Tianfang would simply return back to the central region if his injury was in the same condition as it was in the past.

Haha, that kid is simply too proud to do that.

He would rather die all by himself than live a shameful life.

That day, I just happened to come out of my seclusion and I didn't pay too much attention to it.

It was only today that I found out that Jiang Tianfang's son is actually inside the sect, and he has even joined a newly created faction.

After taking a look at this faction I found that there was more to it than what meets the eye.

Everyone is following a single outer court disciple who has comprehended a small part of the Dao of Space, and even has an immortal grade bloodline.

Naturally, this would make this old man curious.

Of course, you don't have to answer if you don't want to.''

The Grand Elder then sat down cross-legged and even took out a flask of wine from his spatial ring as he started to drink from it contently, causing his eyes to turn into 2 crescent slits.

Shun Long seemed to have understood what this legendary old monster from the Holy sect in front of him was trying to say, but he remained silent for a moment, almost as if he was contemplating on his answer.

After all, Shun Long could sense that there were actually some things that the Grand Elder had chosen to hide from his story.

At that moment, Jiang Chen was actually the first one who took a step forward standing next to Shun Long, and as he stared at the white-robed Grand Elder he asked in a serious voice

''Grand Elder, even if you were curious about me, do you really believe that it's possible for Shun Long to heal my father?''

Although Jiang Chen's tone was respectful, the look in his eyes was extremely serious as he stared at the old man in front of him who was leisurely drinking his wine.

No matter what, Jiang Chen wasn't going to accept the Grand Elder's excuse either.

Turning his gaze towards Jiang Chen, the Grand Elder actually smiled and nodded his head before he answered

''Haha, kid, you are right. Even if someone managed to heal Jiang Tianfang, I normally wouldn't have come to the conclusion that it would be Shun Long. After all, in the past, Jiang Tianfang had come to our Holy sect to ask for help as well, but even 1-star alchemists like Mao Jing had failed to treat him, so how could a late-stage Nascent Soul outer court disciple possibly do so?''

Xingyi's master, Mao Jing nodded her head gravely as she agreed with the Grand Elder without any shame.

She still remembered how terrifying the poison inside Jiang Tianfang's dantian really was, making her shiver just at the thought of it.

That day, Mao Jing had nearly died as that poison had almost ended up attacking her as well.

Back then, she had told Jiang Tianfang that it was impossible for any 1-star alchemist to heal him, and only 2-star alchemists could possibly do so.

After all, the difference between 1-star and 2-star alchemists was enormous, and even though it was extremely difficult for someone to normally ask for the help of a 2-star alchemist, it was still not impossible for an expert at the level of Jiang Tianfang to do so if he was willing to pay a heavy price.

The Grand Elder's deep black eyes shone brightly as he looked at Shun Long and continued

''I am not sure what you did, but I am certain that you are somehow related to Jiang Tianfang's recovery. Although I wouldn't believe it if it was another outer disciple in front of me, you are different.

s

After all... you destroyed the ball of fate!''

The Grand Elder had a solemn look once he said the last sentence, but a moment later, he suddenly started to laugh loudly, his booming laughter actually shaking the entire private room.

Looking at Shun Long, the Grand Elder's smile turned even more noticeable as he finally said a moment later

''Hahaha, it's fine. You don't have to answer if you don't want to. After all, I didn't come here to ask you things regarding Jiang Tianfang. The reason I am here today is a different one.

Shun Long, tell me, are you willing to take me as your master?''
