69: Chapter 69 Gambling Monster

An overwhelming pressure swept through the entire Daoist temple once again!

This pressure was different from the last; Sect Leader Zhenxiazi, having completely unleashed his power without holding back, brought a terrifying destructive force with it!

The pressure transformed into a powerful hurricane, surging outward in all directions.

The Inner Sect Disciples in the temple suffered; everyone, along with their tables and chairs, was sent flying by this wave of pressure.

Gu Wanquan sat upright in his original spot, struggling to hold on, his white robes billowing wildly in the fierce wind.

His calm gaze fell upon Su Yi, who was being held aloft by Sect Leader Zhenxiazi, his expression one of surprise mixed with a hint of worry.

He was surprised that Su Yi seemed completely unaffected by the pressure of such a powerful expert.

As for that hint of worry, he wasn't even sure what he was worried about.

Was he worried that Su Yi would be reprimanded by the Sect Leader?

Or was he worried that he hadn't managed to beat Su Yi even once?

Su Yi, being held up by the collar, had a chaotic mind. Looking at the furious Sect Leader Zhenxiazi, the effects of his Mythical Talent were frantically warning him.

"I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead!"

"If I say the wrong thing next, this old guy in front of me will definitely turn me into a human lamp!"

"Why didn't those damn developers write more when they were creating the game's plot!"

"Colorful clouds fill the sky, the Luoxia returns home."

This sentence wasn't the old guy using the sunset glow as a metaphor for the sect before his death.

Su Yi had done too many reading comprehension tests; this old guy wasn't sighing about sacrificing himself for the future of the Luoxia Immortal Sect!

Instead, this sentence was actually the old guy's fatal weakness!

Words hidden deep in his heart, only daring to be spoken on his deathbed!

"Damn developers, write the game's background story in more detail!"

"Who can tell me what this sentence actually means to this old guy?"

Enduring the sharp pain in his arms, Su Yi managed to speak: "It was told to me by an elder a long time ago!"

"Nonsense! Aren't you an orphan?" Sect Leader Zhenxiazi shouted sternly.

"Right, I am an orphan, aren't I? Where would I get an elder from?"

In this life-or-death moment, with his feet off the ground, Su Yi's intelligence returned to the high ground, and he keenly sensed the old guy's anxious and sorrowful emotions.

It was exactly the sorrow of a desperate simp who couldn't get what he wanted, rejected again and again after begging humbly for recognition.

After many years, hearing news of that person again caused those unforgettable memories to flood his heart.

He instantly lost his reason, showing an urgent anxiety to know any trace of the other person.

Su Yi was too familiar with this expression; before his Transmigration, when he disconnected from clients, he often played this kind of tragic persona.

Who would have thought that at such an old age, this Sect Leader was still a pure-hearted old man.

This Luoxia Immortal Sect Sect Leader only appeared in Wen Daoyi's storyline, so he could only deduce things based on that long-legged older sister's storyline.

Why was Wen Daoyi, who had committed such a serious crime, not punished heavily, but instead just lightly expelled from the sect?

And why could she, in just ten years, go from an ordinary person with her Spiritual Root stolen to becoming the biggest BOSS in the second expansion pack by relying on a Peerless Grade Yin Spiritual Root and a Spirit-Summoning Banner?

This series of anomalies, combined with Sect Leader Zhenxiazi's current desperate simp appearance.

Su Yi boldly deduced that there must be a female Cultivator practicing evil arts behind all of this who connected everything!

And that female Cultivator must be the white moonlight of this old virgin in front of him!

In a flash of inspiration, Su Yi boldly guessed the reason. Time was tight, there was no escaping either way, so he had to gamble!

Su Yi's expression suddenly changed, and he said angrily to Sect Leader Zhenxiazi: "I am an orphan! So what if I'm an orphan? Does being an orphan mean I was born from the heavens and earth, or popped out of a crack in a rock? Why can't I have an elder?"

Su Yi's roar seemed to wake Sect Leader Zhenxiazi up.

The previously distraught Sect Leader Zhenxiazi instantly regained clarity in his eyes.

He withdrew his pressure, gently put down the grimacing Su Yi, and asked in a low voice: "Is this elder of yours a man or a woman?"

"Grandmother is naturally a woman!" Su Yi blurted out as a matter of course.

He wasn't deliberately emphasizing the elder's gender, but by saying "grandmother," he was expressing his closeness to this female elder.

"What is your relationship with her?"

"No special relationship, she just saved my life. She said that sentence inadvertently, and I just thought it was beautiful. It felt appropriate just now, so I blurted it out!"

Sect Leader Zhenxiazi, his heart in turmoil, asked with a mix of anticipation and unease: "Where is your grandmother..."

"Grandmother said she cannot show herself to others. It's been so long, I don't know where she is!"

One question and one answer, Su Yi answered more and more fluently, as if he really had such a grandmother.

Hearing Su Yi's answer, Sect Leader Zhenxiazi took two steps back. When he heard Su Yi's words "cannot show herself to others," he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.

A figure appeared before Sect Leader Zhenxiazi, dressed in silk and gauze, with features as beautiful as a painting.

"I knew it, I knew it. Why didn't you listen to me? Why didn't you listen to me?" Sect Leader Zhenxiazi muttered to himself. At this moment, he didn't look like a Sect Leader, but rather an old man in his twilight years.

Looking at the distraught Sect Leader Zhenxiazi in front of him, Su Yi had no expression on his face, but he was ecstatic inside.

"Damn, I gambled right!"

"Who else is there!"

"I'm asking, who else is there!"

Just from the fragments of the game, he had actually deduced an old flame of the Sect Leader!

And he had bet his entire life on it.

It was like betting his entire net worth on a World Cup match.

Like Spain drawing with Cape Verde!

He was raking in the prize money, laughing while watching the acrobats perform on the rooftop!

Only two words could describe this move of his!

"The Gambling Freak!"

Just as Su Yi was lost in ecstasy, Sect Leader Zhenxiazi, who possessed strong self-control, had already regained his calm.

Looking at the brat in front of him, who was even a bit more handsome than he was when he was young, those peach-blossom eyes gave Sect Leader Zhenxiazi a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen them before.

"Yes, she also had a pair of eyes just like these!"

Sect Leader Zhenxiazi patted Su Yi on the shoulder and said with genuine emotion: "Good child!"

Having received the Sect Leader's highest praise, Su Yi instantly felt his back straighten.

With these words from the Sect Leader, and his non-existent elder as a backer, couldn't he just walk sideways in the Luoxia Immortal Sect?

At this moment, the lonely Sect Leader Zhenxiazi no longer had the demeanor of a Sect Leader.

He casually withdrew his pressure, turned his head toward the Inner Sect Disciples in the temple who had been pressed into quails by his two waves of pressure, and said indifferently:

"Class dismissed!"

"???"

The Inner Sect Disciples in the temple who had been suppressed twice by the Sect Leader's pressure were all completely bewildered.

The conversation between Su Yi and Sect Leader Zhenxiazi had not been heard by anyone else under the cover of his powerful pressure.

Therefore, in the eyes of the crowd, the Sect Leader, who had been ready to cleave Su Yi in two, had suddenly turned red with rage, and then inexplicably calmed down.

"That's it?"

Everyone, who had been expecting to watch the Sect Leader perform a live execution, was completely dumbfounded.

The last guy who wasn't right in the head and thought he was a Genius was hung on a cliff for half a month after offending the Sect Leader.

This Su Yi jumped around in front of the Sect Leader, and even made the Sect Leader red with rage, yet he was completely fine?

"Is Brother Shuizi's backing really that strong?"

"Does even the Sect Leader have no way to deal with him?"
