The Little Ancestor Teaches You How To Live-Chapter 1133: Grand Finale
Chapter 1133: Chapter 1133: Grand Finale
"You indeed are not mortal!" Tantai Ming’s eyes brimmed with anger.
"I am but flesh and blood." Master Ye denied Tantai Ming’s assertion.
"Bullshit!"
"Don’t curse in front of Little Susu." Master Ye corrected.
"You motherf..." Tantai Ming was extremely annoyed, but he held back the curse that was on the tip of his tongue.
"I won’t discuss that with you. I’m asking you, are you the dark shadow that fought with my eldest brother all those years ago? Are you behind the scenes, plotting to harm my eldest brother?" Tantai Ming speculated about Master Ye’s possible identity.
"No." The denial came calmly and clearly.
"How can you prove you’re not?"
"I probably know who the dark shadow you’re talking about is. It’s the remnant soul of the fierce beast Qiong Qi, which has already been suppressed by your brother. It has nothing to do with me. If you don’t believe it, you are free to investigate. Although not many know of this, there are indeed some who do. Or you could wait for your brother to complete his trials in this life and ask him in person."
"I will verify. Until I have an answer, you are still a prime suspect, and even if you’re not the dark shadow from that day, you’re no good guy."
Tantai Ming’s wariness towards Master Ye didn’t lessen in the slightest.
Smiling, Master Ye said, "What you want to know is my identity. Actually, Susu has already given you the answer just now."
"Don’t beat around the bush with me, I can’t stand this air of yours, acting like you know everything and have everything under your control!" Tantai Ming had no patience for this.
Master Ye, however, remained unruffled and patiently led Susu, "Susu, think again, why do you think Master smells so nice?"
"Because..." Susu slightly lifted her head, pondering earnestly.
Suddenly, the image of her recent meeting with her adoptive father Bai Ze and adoptive mother emerged in her mind.
That warm and familiar feeling, that comfortable sensation that made her want to fall asleep...
"Ah! Master’s scent is like Bai Ze Daddy’s scent!" Susu suddenly realized, finally remembering why she had loved the scent of her teacher from before, feeling so close to him and agreeing without hesitation to call him Master.
Because he carried Bai Ze Daddy’s scent!
"What?" Tantai Ming showed an incredulous expression, "Impossible, Bai Ze and his wife have long passed away, you can’t possibly be Susu’s father! You must be deceiving, using such means to trick Susu, you’re despicable!"
"I am indeed not Susu’s father, nor did I ever say I am the reincarnation of her father. But it’s true that I carry Bai Ze’s scent," Master Ye clarified.
"What kind of roundabout way are you beating around the bush?" Tantai Ming spoke impatiently.
"Because I am one of the horns on Master Bai Ze’s head. When Master Bai Ze fell, I was cast into the mortal world, to protect his beloved daughter someday," Master Ye replied.
This explanation stunned Tantai Ming; his expression turned from impatient to shocked.
Susu’s parents, Bai Ze, were of extremely high cultivation, and Tantai Ming could believe that one of her father’s horns could be reincarnated as a human.
Master Ye continued, "So strictly speaking, I am not Susu’s father, nor the reincarnation of her father. I am a new being who inherited her father’s will and some of his abilities."
Following this train of thought, Tantai Ming felt that some things were starting to make sense.
One of Bai Ze’s very special abilities was to understand the past and predict the future, and Master Ye had indeed inherited some of this ability. Although it was not as powerful as that of Bai Ze and his wife, it was enough for his purposes.
"Then how do you explain giving the Golden Dragon Scepter to a mad woman, allowing her to harm my brother and Susu? Your Master Bai Ze surely did not teach you to harm his only precious daughter, did he?" Tantai Ming questioned again.
"What consequences did that event have for you?" Master Ye countered.
"We were all injured!"
"Besides being injured?" Master Ye pressed.
"Besides being injured..."
Master Ye went on, "Aside from the injuries, you stepped up to protect everyone, atoning for your past misdeeds; your brother, despite the danger, stood up to protect his family and Susu,which ultimately restored his memory; and Susu herself stood up to protect those she loved, and she forgave and understood your brother’s actions."
Master Ye had said before that Lu Zhanyu hadn’t recovered his memories because the time wasn’t right.
