My Master Knows It All

Chapter 1422: Chapter 338_3

The young boy frowned, took a few steps forward, and without any warning, turned his head to look back again. However, when he looked back, he found nothing unusual.

“No, something’s not right. Someone must be secretly watching me. My instincts can’t be wrong.”

The young boy walked forward a few steps and then, suddenly bursting with energy, bolted ahead, disappearing into the crowded street.

Cao Zhen and his two companions stood in the distance, watching the boy as he suddenly darted into the crowd, each of their expressions turning peculiar.

“This little fellow has quite an acute sense of perception. It must be because the three of us were observing him from afar that he felt like he was being watched, so he made a sudden escape,” Immortal Bi Yue recalled the earlier events and remarked, “Earlier, he pointed someone out, and sure enough, that cultivator noticed and turned to look at him immediately.”

Cao Zhen chuckled and asked, “So, what now? Are you thinking of taking him as a disciple?”

“Just a sense of perception alone isn’t enough to make that decision. However, if he has the aptitude for immortal cultivation, taking him in as a disciple wouldn’t be out of the question,” Immortal Bi Yue said while beginning to follow him.

They were cultivators, and not ordinary ones at that—each either at the Golden Core Period Limit or close to it. With their cultivation bases, following the young boy from a distance wouldn’t alert him. Even if the boy sensed something and looked back, he wouldn’t be able to spot them with his vision.

With nothing better to do, they simply continued trailing him along the way.

Soon, they saw the young boy run into an old, decrepit house. Afterward, the house’s front door never opened again, yet on another street behind the house, the boy reemerged, sprinting into the distance.

“This little fellow is quite clever. This house is clearly just a decoy for his escape route,” Cao Zhen commented, catching up from behind. He looked at a doghole in the yard and smiled faintly—it seemed obvious the boy had slipped out through it.

Because of this brief delay, they missed their chance to immediately catch up with the boy. When they managed to spot him again, Cao Zhen noticed the young boy was now on a bustling street. Standing to one side, the boy began to observe the passersby carefully.

Not all cultivators traveled by flying through the air; many, like Cao Zhen and his companions, walked along the streets.

Still, the boy made no move, even as numerous cultivators passed by, including some female ones.

Until, two men and two women—a group of four cultivators—approached. At that moment, a flash of light gleamed in the boy’s eyes, as if a beast spotting prey. He quickly ran toward them, wearing an innocent expression as he addressed the two male cultivators: “Immortal Elders, Immortal Elders, the two fairy sisters with you are so beautiful.

I want to give you these two bouquets of flowers, so you can gift them to these two fairy sisters. I think only such beautiful fairy sisters deserve these flowers.”

Even though Cao Zhen and the others were still some distance away, they could clearly hear the boy’s words.

Immortal Bi Yue’s smile froze. Just moments ago, this boy had claimed only she and Yi Sheng were worthy of these flowers. Now, he’d changed his tune in the blink of an eye.

The two male cultivators clearly paused in surprise, not expecting someone to offer them flowers for such a reason.

Moreover, the boy spoke so sweetly. The two men turned back to look at the female cultivators walking with them, both of whom were now smiling radiantly. One of the women couldn’t help but smile and ask, “So, tell me, how much for these two bouquets… no, for all the flowers you have behind you as well? I’ll buy them.”

The young boy shook his head at that and said, “I just told you, I’m not selling them. I want to give the flowers to you so that you can gift them to the two fairy sisters. These two fairy sisters are the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.”

Immortal Bi Yue had heard enough. Moments ago, this boy had claimed she and Yi Sheng were the most beautiful, yet now, in an instant, he’d changed his story.

The two female cultivators’ smiles grew even brighter.

One of the women looked at the boy with gentle affection and said, “Little brother, I can’t take your flowers for nothing. Here, if I take your flowers, I’ll give you a gift in return.” As she spoke, she reached into her Qiankun Bag to retrieve a gift.

But in the next moment, the air suddenly turned frigid with a bitter cold.

A woman dressed in tight black clothes appeared before the boy, her long, fair legs exposed entirely. Her complexion was pale, but her lips were an unusually striking crimson. She stared at the boy coldly and said, “You said they are the most beautiful female cultivators you’ve ever seen. So, what about me? Are you saying I’m not beautiful?

And you said they’re worthy of your flowers. Are you saying I’m not worthy of them?”

As she spoke, waves of demonic qi surged from her body, sending a tingling chill through the crowd. Under its pressure, the boy fell immediately to the ground, and the flowers from his basket scattered around him.

All around, ordinary mortals sensing the oppressive aura fell to the ground in fright, too terrified to move.

Further away, the mortals who noticed the commotion quickly fled in all directions, trying to put as much distance as they could from the scene.

The four cultivators previously gifted the flowers now showed displeased expressions at the abrupt arrival of the female cultivator. The one who had just offered the boy a gift stepped forward, shielding him, and said firmly, “He’s just a child speaking innocently. Why take issue with a child?”
