"Old Man Sun, how do you know my nickname?" The grey-robed elder looked at Xiao Fan and the others in front of him. He glanced at them one by one, but he did not recognize any of them. Then, he looked at Xiao Fan again and said blankly.
"I once sent people to the Eastern Region, but they heard that you suddenly disappeared. Your Noble Pavilion was almost destroyed because of this!" Xiao Fan did not answer the grey-robed elder's question. Instead, he suddenly laughed and said, "So, you're trapped here!"
"You, who are you?" Hearing Xiao Fan's words, the grey-robed elder was shocked. He struggled to get up, but his bodily functions were close to dying out, so he could not get up at all. Huge waves surged in his heart!
He had been trapped here for nearly 8,000 years. Over the years, more than one or two people had walked here alive. However, not to mention that they were all "reincarnated" and became nutrients for the person sleeping in the Great Bright City to turn into the strongest Corpse Clan, those who could live here for a period of time had never heard of him at all. Even the outside world had completely forgotten about him!
Time flew. Even if he had once alarmed the entire Lower Province, he had now been completely submerged in the long river of time and completely disappeared from the world!
Now, a person suddenly came here and actually knew him. Moreover, he seemed to know a lot about him. How could this not shock the grey-robed elder?
"Anyone who enters Carefree Mountain will be" reincarnated "by the person from the Kingdom of Light and then turned into nutrients for him. Occasionally, he would let go of a few people, but he was too lazy to eat them because he thought that the target had hidden injuries!" Xiao Fan still did not answer the grey-robed elder. Instead, his eyes moved back and forth between Cao Qingci, who was still unconscious behind him, and the grey-robed elder. He said thoughtfully, "But you survived and have not been" reincarnated ". Then, it seems that your Noble Pavilion has a deep relationship with this person from the Kingdom of Light!"
Hearing Xiao Fan's words, the grey-robed elder was completely stunned at this moment. This was because Xiao Fan's speculation was simply terrifying. Just based on what he saw, he directly knew the biggest secret of the Noble Pavilion!
Yes, the grey-robed elder's identity was very clear at this moment!
He was the shopkeeper of the Noble Pavilion from the previous generation!
He was the one that Xiao Fan had sold the Longevity Grass to the Noble Pavilion!
The reason why Cao Qingci was in a hurry to leave the Dark Place was because of the grey-robed old man. She wanted to save Old Man Sun!
"Who are you? W-why …? " The grey-robed old man looked at Xiao Fan's face and asked in confusion. At the same time, he kept searching in his memory, but he still couldn't find the corresponding face!
"Thousand Life Grass!" Seeing that the grey-robed old man still couldn't remember him, Xiao Fan immediately shook his head and reminded him.
"Longevity Grass!" Hearing this name, the gray-robed old man subconsciously muttered to himself.
Suddenly!
He seemed to have thought of something, and it was as if he had been struck by lightning. He suddenly came to a realization and understood Xiao Fan's identity!
"You, you, you …!" The grey-robed old man sat up in shock. His eyes were full of extreme horror, and his body suddenly trembled violently. He wanted to say something, but because of the great shock and fear, he couldn't say anything!
In the face of the grey-robed old man's shock and fear, Xiao Fan just sat down and looked at him. Suddenly, he sighed softly and didn't say anything. He just waited for the grey-robed old man to calm down before speaking!
After a full quarter of an hour, the grey-robed old man finally calmed down.
After calming down, the first thing he did was to struggle to get up. Then, he kowtowed heavily to Xiao Fan. His body trembled more and more, but he didn't dare to say anything!
At the same time, he lowered his head deeply. At this moment, endless waves of shock and indescribable complex emotions surged in his heart!
Back then, Xiao Fan was chased by the Hundred Sects of the Eastern Region and fled to the Dark Place. However, he was chased by the Northern Fox Fairy and other geniuses of the Dark Place. In desperation, he could only escape to Drystone City!
And because Xiao Fan knew about the existence of the Noble Pavilion, he came to the Noble Pavilion to make a deal with them and ask for their protection!
At that time, the old shopkeeper who received Xiao Fan was the old man!
The grey-robed old man still remembered the situation back then, as if it was still fresh in his mind!
That day!
It was raining heavily!
Xiao Fan's eyes were tired, his body was soaked, and his lips were chapped as he walked in. He carefully took out the Longevity Grass and wanted to make a deal with the Noble Pavilion so that they could protect him!
The grey-robed old man sat there and looked at Xiao Fan with interest, as if he was looking at something fun!
At that moment, in his eyes, Xiao Fan was actually a toy that could be manipulated at will. Although he was a little interesting, he didn't need to pay too much attention to him!
But who could have imagined?
Back then, the young man who was looked at and scrutinized by him from above, the young man who was full of helplessness in the face of his request for a deal, the young man who could only nod and agree to his terms, actually stood at such a high position in the future?
Who could have imagined that when Xiao Fan was waiting for the throne that day, all the creatures in the Central imperial realm knelt and kowtowed to him, and he also knelt and kowtowed heavily to him?
The affairs of the world were unpredictable!
It could only be said that the affairs of the world were unpredictable!
But today, even more complicated feelings were still present. Xiao Fan, who had disappeared from the Central imperial realm for a full 3,000 years, actually reappeared, and he even appeared in front of him!
This made him extremely shocked, extremely complicated, and even more unbelievable!
"Please, please forgive me. I, I didn't, didn't, immediately recognize you …!" The grey-robed old man opened his mouth and spoke with great difficulty. His voice was stuttering and terrified, and it was very incoherent!
"It's okay!" Xiao Fan shook his head and said, "Back then, when I went to the Marquis Pavilion to sell the Longevity Grass, I also wore a face-changing mask. You have never seen my real face, so it's normal that you don't recognize me today!"
"Back then, back then, I, I …!" The grey-robed old man opened his mouth again, as if he wanted to explain something!
"I didn't blame you for what happened back then!" Xiao Fan interrupted him and shook his head with a smile. "Back then, although you lowered the price when we made the deal, which was somewhat like adding insult to injury, and you didn't agree to my request for protection, you still had a bottom line, and you didn't go too far!"
"The Ten-thousand-mile Boat you sold me was indeed not bad. After I returned to the Eastern Region, it helped me to successfully escape three fatal attacks. Although it was completely broken after three uses, it was a defective product, and its value was far from that of the Longevity Grass!"
"But some things depend on their use value. The Ten-thousand-mile Boat's use value was indeed good for me back then!"
"What's more, before you drove me away, you took the initiative to tell me the direction of the gate to the Central Province, as well as some secrets. That information was of great help to me in escaping from the Lower Province in the Dongling Continent!"
"But later on, I found out about that information through other means. But after all, you were the one who told me first, so it was still useful!"
"So, in fact, you helped me a little more than what happened back then. Today, I saved you to repay the help you gave me back then!"
The grey-robed old man didn't speak. He lowered his head and smiled bitterly.
In fact, Xiao Fan's words were very clear. The reason why he saved him today was that before Xiao Fan left, he had taken the initiative to tell him about the gate to the Central Province.
If it weren't for this, Xiao Fan wouldn't have bothered to save him today!
However, this was the most dramatic thing in the world. The reason why he told Xiao Fan about the gate to the Central Province back then was actually because of a sudden impulse!
He treated Xiao Fan as a fun toy. At that moment, he wanted to see what kind of explosive power this toy would have after it had a chance to live.
But after that, he forgot about this matter, because this matter to him was just a whim!
Forget it, forget it!
He didn't care about anything!
But it was this sudden impulse that made him who he was today. It really made people sigh and smile bitterly. Fate made fools of people, fate made fools of people!
"What does that person have to do with your Nobility Pavilion?" Xiao Fan changed the topic and asked, no longer talking about what happened back then.
"Our Nobility Pavilion is his legacy!" The grey-robed elder calmed down and said. He didn't stutter anymore, but he still lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Xiao Fan. "Back then, he was facing the end of his life and didn't want to die, so he made a lot of preparations!"
"One of the preparations was to divide what he learned into several parts and give them to his disciples, telling them to pass it on!"
"But unfortunately, it seemed that someone didn't want to see him come back from death. So, other than our branch of the Nobility Pavilion, his other disciples were successfully killed and couldn't pass on his cultivation method!"
"I see!" Xiao Fan nodded and said.
"Although our branch of the Nobility Pavilion survived, his disciple was seriously injured in the process of escaping. He died before he could explain things clearly!" The grey-robed elder continued in a low voice, "So there was a deviation in the transmission of the information. We only knew that the previous Nobility Pavilion shopkeepers were looking for him, but we didn't know why they found him!"
"In the end, I finally found a clue back then. After I came to Carefree Mountain and found him, I found out that the purpose of our existence was to become the furnace for him to transform into the Corpse Clan!"
"Our existence was for his birth!"
"We were just reserves!"
Speaking of this, the grey-robed elder's voice was full of sorrow!
Xiao Fan didn't say anything. He just looked at Cao Qingci thoughtfully!
There was an explanation for Cao Qingci appearing outside the Great Bright City and being unconscious for many days. It was likely that the gray-robed elder did not want Cao Qingci to follow in his footsteps and be treated as a cauldron by that person. Therefore, he thought of a way to throw Cao Qingci out, which was why Cao Qingci appeared there!
