"Hey, that's interesting."
Wang Yifeng exclaimed when he saw Shi Qian.
"What's interesting?"
Wang Ye followed Wang Yifeng's gaze and glanced over, realizing only upon seeing Shi Qian what Wang Yifeng meant.
Wang Ye's lips moved slightly, but before he could decide whether or not to tell Wang Yifeng about his meeting with Shi Heng ten thousand years ago, Wang Yifeng directly asked:
"When you used the Ice Soul Valley to return to the previous world, did you meet Shi Heng?"
Gulp.
Wang Ye suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.
After all, he had apprenticed under Shi Heng back then!
And now, when his own master was asking him, if he answered truthfully, then...
Just as Wang Ye was about to lie, Wang Yifeng, quick on his feet, snatched the Bone Flute from Wang Ye's neck.
The thoughts in Wang Ye's mind instantly unfolded and were completely read by Wang Yifeng.
Wang Yifeng remained silent.
He did not say a word.
After handing the Bone Flute back to Wang Ye, he quietly observed him.
In Wang Yifeng's eyes, there was a touch of disappointment, a sense of time slipping away, and an enduring old age.
His own disciple had apprenticed under someone else yet again.
Under Wang Yifeng's piercing gaze, Wang Ye guiltily explained, "I didn't know at the time that it was the world from ten thousand years ago, and in that world, if I wanted to protect my own life, that was my only option."
"Alright then."
The expression on Wang Yifeng's face vanished quickly. He glanced at Shi Qian, his face breaking into a broad smile as he repeatedly exclaimed:
"Interesting, truly interesting!"
Wang Ye was puzzled by Wang Yifeng's attitude and words.
He asked strangely, "Isn't Shi Qian a descendant of Senior Shi? There's nothing interesting about a descendant of Senior Shi ending up with me, is there?"
Although Wang Ye felt there was a bit of a coincidence.
But was it really worth Wang Yifeng's reaction?
"Descendant? Are you sure it's just a descendant? You need to know, Shi Heng is still alive! If Shi Heng had descendants, the Shi Family would definitely be a significant family on Spirit Star!"
"But..."
"Have you heard of the Shi Family being a significant family on Spirit Star nowadays?"
Wang Yifeng's words caused Wang Ye to pause.
Indeed.
Shi Heng is still alive!
Although some records speculate that Shi Heng has fallen, they are just records.
Wang Ye had once been Shi Heng's disciple.
From what Wang Ye knew about Shi Heng, it shouldn't have been so easy for him to perish.
But with Shi Heng being alive, yet the Shi Family not being prominent, presents a big question.
"Why is that?"
Wang Ye was puzzled.
With his master Wang Yifeng beside him, Wang Ye directly asked him when faced with a question he didn't understand.
If Shi Heng had any descendants, they surely could have carried on the legacy.
After all, who would dare to provoke the family of a Heavenly King Realm expert?
"It's simple, because Shi Heng never fell in love!"
Wang Yifeng had spent a long time on the Earth Star, so he explained the truth straightforwardly in a manner typical of Earth Star.
"He... has never been in love?"
Wang Ye was once again surprised.
Not surprised that Shi Heng hadn't been in love.
Considering Shi Heng's personality, and the fact that some cultivators sometimes pursue merely simple cultivation, other concerns are negligible to them.
What surprised Wang Ye was this.
If Shi Heng had no descendants, then who is Shi Qian?
Shi Qian must be intricately connected to Shi Heng.
Just from the inexplicable feeling when Shi Qian appeared alongside him, Wang Ye could sense it.
"Shi Qian..."
Wang Yifeng gave Wang Ye a meaningful look: "Could it be, that Shi Qian is Shi Heng himself?"
...
In the sky.
Shi Heng abruptly opened his eyes.
He looked down.
The clone created by the remnant of his Divine Sense was fighting with other First Grade Cultivators.
Meanwhile, his disciple was with someone else.
With a slight focus, Shi Heng could sense what had just happened.
After all, Wang Yifeng was only attempting to break through to the Heavenly King Realm, whereas Shi Heng himself was already at the Heavenly King Realm!
Shi Heng's expression turned a little sour.
Shi Qian's identity had been recognized!
Originally, Shi Heng thought that before Wang Ye rose to prominence, no one would be able to tell. He hadn't expected that Wang Ye's other master would be so adept.
"Damn kid!"
Shi Heng ground his teeth in frustration.
He examined Wang Yifeng briefly.
With just one glance, Shi Heng discerned some clues from Wang Yifeng.
Even though the Wang Yifeng beside Wang Ye was merely Wang Yifeng's Divine Sense clone.
"Interesting, using a clone to cultivate the Myriad Path and then reuniting them into one! Is this an attempt to forcibly ascend to Imperial Lord with the Myriad Path Body? In this era, he should be considered the mightiest prodigy!"
Previously, Shi Heng had not paid much attention to this, only occasionally hearing chatter from the lower world about prodigies and such.
But now.
The moment Shi Heng set eyes on Wang Yifeng, he realized that the other prodigies people spoke of paled in comparison to Wang Yifeng.
"What a pity, you were doing so well as a prodigy, but you exposed my identity. If I could come down there, or if you could come up here, I'd definitely make you pay!"
Shi Heng thought silently.
Thus, a feud and conflict began to stew between Wang Ye's two masters.
...
Below.
No matter how much Wang Yifeng explained to Wang Ye about Shi Qian being Shi Heng.
Wang Ye simply refused to believe it.
Suddenly, a sense of unease overwhelmed Wang Yifeng's heart.
It was the feeling of being resented by a formidable expert.
Wang Yifeng looked at Wang Ye, who still eyed him with distrust, and sighed helplessly.
His disciple had truly become unfilial!
Someone already bore a grudge against him, and yet Wang Ye still did not trust him.
At this moment, Wang Yifeng felt troubled.
If he had known, he wouldn't have told Wang Ye earlier.
No point in it!
It was a shame Wang Ye didn't believe him; he hadn't even reached the Heavenly King Realm yet and had already offended a Heavenly King.
Is this not self-destruction?
"Alright then."
Wang Yifeng stopped wasting words with Wang Ye and sobered up: "I will integrate my Divine Sense into you, allowing you to possess the strength of a First Grade Cultivator for a time. The two of us will jointly control the body."
"Learn how to control the power of a First Grade Cultivator!"
