Chapter 100 - How We Met Each Other

The first time Le Yao had felt that Xu Yao was different from ordinary people, he had asked Uncle Ming if there had been any strange phenomena during his time of birth. At that time, Uncle Ming had stated that when Xu Yao was born, dawn had been delayed, with the night being unusually lengthy.

He had thought it strange at that time, because as far as he knew, such an occurrence would only happen when a God descended to the mortal world.

Now, he believed it was true.

The Shenjun seal was something only the Gods of Heaven could possess.

“Who are you?” Le Yao asked.

“Xu Yao.” He smiled and continued, “The youngest son of Emperor Tiandi.”

Hearing this answer, Le Yao’s hand suddenly felt itchy with the urge to slap him!

Speaking of which, when he and Xu Yao had met in the Underworld, they had met at a place named ‘Pusheng Lake’. At first glance, the name ‘Pusheng Lake’ would suggest that it was a lake, which it definitely was.

However, it was not only just a lake, it was also the most difficult ‘prison’ to escape from in the Underworld, so it was also called ‘Prison Lake’.

The lake had no physical obstructions, but the souls imprisoned there did not have the power to escape on their own. If they wanted to leave, the only way to do that was to purify their resentment.

Pusheng Lake was a bit like the Fu Ta Yuan of Tarot. The difference was that the Blessing Tree on Fu Ta Yuan could indiscriminately purify the souls of all kinds of undead. Meanwhile, in Pusheng Lake, those who wanted to purify their grievances had to solely depend on their own study and cultivation to do so.

Moreover, those who were ‘imprisoned’ here were not ordinary people, or rather, not ordinary ghosts, and Xu Yao had been the biggest thorn among all these unusual ghosts.

He was Fengdu Mountain’s Ghost King, with strong spiritual power, who could control thousands of ghosts, and had a wild nature.

Le Yao also did not understand why his former father, the Great Emperor of Fengdu, would allow him to try and influence such a jerk. But at that time, he didn’t understand or have much affection, and he also never doubted his father’s orders.

He simply took the scriptures, went to Pusheng Lake, and began a daily life of reading.

The Prince read the scriptures and influenced all the living beings. As for the ghosts, they had to be present to listen to his lessons. Nonetheless, even when all the other ghosts came, the ‘busy Xu Yao’ was always absent from class.

Le Yao’s main goal of reading the scriptures everyday was to influence the Ghost King. Affecting the other ghosts was only incidental and it hardly mattered even if they did not come; it was only the Ghost King who was required to be present. But evidently, he did not consider it necessary to give the Prince any face.

For the first two days, Le Yao didn’t even change his expression. Countless ghosts came to listen to him. But from the third day on, he didn’t want to work in vain, so he caught Xu Yao and forcibly brought him to the lecture site.

At that time, Le Yao’s spiritual power had been very strong. Although it was only later that he realised that Xu Yao deliberately didn’t resist and just wanted to see how many times he would catch him. It could be said that this man had been very arrogant at that time.

The class was held at an open space by the lake. The Underworld had no light, and only darkness had a constant presence.

It was only that one place which was brightened by a trace of light, ever since Le Yao came. Gradually, the number of ghosts who came to listen to the class increased. Only Xu Yao, this ‘advanced’ student’s attendance would depend on Teacher Le’s effort to catch him again and again.
