The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 239 Interesting and interesting
[It’s over, it’s over…]

Liu Sheng and others held their foreheads in their hands and criticized Liu Sheng's poor acting skills.

Ling Xiaoshu was also indignant: [Sister, I'm not that childish! ]

Sure enough, it was a bit forced for Liu Sheng, a 19-year-old girl, to pretend to be a 13-year-old girl.

The old man sitting opposite suddenly chuckled, picked up the wine gourd, took a sip of wine, and wiped the wine stains on the corners of his mouth with his dirty sleeves.

"Why did you suddenly change someone?"

The look he gave "Ling Xiaoshu" was no longer pure kindness, but rather a bit more inquisitive and curious.

"Senior, how did you know that I am not Xiaoshu?" Liu Sheng put away the fake smile on his face and said seriously.

"I've lived long enough, so I've naturally met a lot of people. I can tell the difference in temperament and demeanor between people at a glance." The old man took another sip of wine and said cheerfully, "Besides, eyes can't lie."

After hearing this, Liu Sheng agreed deeply with it.

It seems that the main reason for the trouble is that the wisdom in her eyes cannot be concealed.

"You are the sister that the little girl has been talking about, right?"

"You are able to come here. Are you two soul-bound?"

The old man didn't care that Liu Sheng's face was getting darker and darker, he just kept talking with a smile.

[Why are you spilling all the beans? You should always be on guard against others, girl!] Liu Sheng turned around and muttered to himself.

[I...I just mentioned that my sister would come to see me...I didn't say anything else.] Ling Xiaoshu felt a little aggrieved after hearing this.

"Haha, don't worry, Xiaoshu didn't tell me that." She just kept talking about you, saying that you've been gone for so long that your sister must be worried. And every time she served a dish, she would say, "It's good that your sister is here" and "You love it." Sisters really have a deep love for each other."

Liu Sheng's expression softened a little.

"I saw Xiaoshu playing by herself on the side of the road. She looked like she couldn't find her family and didn't know the way. So I thought of taking her with me and asking her where she lived. Please don't blame me, an old man, for meddling in other people's business."

"But, for Xiaoshu, it's quite dangerous to walk alone like this. There are a lot of bad people in this world nowadays." Having said this, the old man put away the casual look on his face and his eyes became sharp.

What is Xiaoshu’s identity?
Does this old man know what a small tree is?
Liu Sheng felt something was wrong.

The old man seemed to see what Liu Sheng was thinking and said, "It's okay. I don't know what the little tree is, but I guess it should be a spiritual plant. It has a strong scent of plants."

He pointed to the little tree's head and continued, "Besides, I can see what's under the hat."

"Moreover, it can now be confirmed that only high-level spiritual plants can form a soul-binding relationship with humans."

Liu Sheng didn't expect that his actions would inadvertently confirm Xiaoshu's identity, and he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

But this is the only way, otherwise I don’t know how to find this girl.

"What's more..." The old man paused, "We have seen it before. Even if it has changed its appearance, I can recognize this special smell as soon as I smell it."

As he spoke, he rubbed his huge trough nose.

"Only a transformed spiritual plant or spiritual beast could be a six or seven-year-old girl a few days ago, and become a teenage girl today."

"I brought her with me because I thought we were destined to be together and I was worried. Don't blame me."

The old man, who had been smiling all the time, explained it so seriously that Liu Sheng couldn't help but believe it a little.

Liu Sheng was still thinking, but the old man's next words instantly made her alarm bells ring.

"Your name is Liu Sheng, right?"

"How did you know this, senior?" Liu Sheng's face was tense.

"Someone told me after our last meeting."

"Who?"

"You should know soon." The old man spoke mysteriously.

"How fast?"

"The day when the imperial examination results were announced."

Imperial examination results announced?

Instead of the results of the imperial examination being announced four days later?

So, we have to wait until after the palace examination. Although Liu Sheng didn't know why it was this day, it seemed that he would not get an answer even if he asked.

Now that the old man had exposed her identity, she wanted to give it a try.

What's more, Liu Sheng had indeed guessed it a long time ago.

"Senior, your surname is Li, your given name is Wu, and you are known as... Taibai Sword Immortal."

Liu Sheng looked at the old man, speaking every word with a firm look in his eyes.

The old man laughed out loud and kept saying, "It's very funny!"

This attracted the attention of people at other tables.

But when the old man waved his hand, Liu Sheng immediately felt an invisible barrier covering the surroundings. The noisy sounds of the tavern disappeared immediately, leaving only the quiet breathing sounds between the two people and the old man's unbridled laughter.

"Yes, how did you guess?"

Taibai Sword Immortal stopped laughing and actually admitted it directly.

"Senior, you also want me to guess it, right? Every word is a hint." Liu Sheng said respectfully without changing his expression.

Taibai Sword Immortal laughed so hard that his beard trembled: "Haha, you are indeed an interesting girl."

"Thank you for the compliment, senior." Liu Sheng's face remained calm, but he was delighted inside.

"I didn't expect..." He paused, and saw Taibai Sword Immortal pinching his fingers to calculate something, and then he suddenly said, "Oh, yes, thirty years have passed, and I finally met an interesting young man again."

"See you again?" Liu Sheng was a little curious, "Who was the last one?"

"It doesn't matter anymore. That person is no longer interesting." Taibai Sword Immortal sighed rarely, as if he was also regretting how an interesting person could become boring.

"Forget it, today's wine is over." Taibai Sword Immortal shook his head and said, "Since Xiaoshu's sister has found Xiaoshu, I can leave with peace of mind."

"Don't lose her again! Children of this age are the most worrying..."

The voice of Taibai Sword Immortal gradually faded away, and his figure also gradually became blurred and faded until it completely disappeared.

When the barrier was removed, the voices and clinking of glasses in the tavern suddenly flooded into my ears like a tide.

"Senior..." Liu Sheng murmured.

She had many more questions to ask.

She wanted to ask about the sword on Taibai Tower that day.

I want to ask about the meteor that fell in the northwest.

I want to ask Mo Bei if... there have been changes, and if he knows something.

She also wanted to ask what the Shenzang Realm was like, when she could ascend, or... was it really as Professor Tang said - there was no hope of ascending?
And...can you give her an autograph...

It’s a pity that I didn’t have the time to ask.

[It's not that it's too late, but he doesn't want to talk about it anymore. ]

[Humph, these seniors just love to play the role of riddlers! ]

Tucao returns to Tucao.

Liu Sheng sighed, wondering when he would be able to see such a legendary figure again.

【Don’t worry, you will see it.】The world has another prophecy.

[I think so too.] Another Liu Sheng echoed.

[He said we are interesting! If we are interesting, he must be curious...]

【Then I will keep watching! 】

[And didn't he say that he would meet someone after the imperial examination results were announced? That person must know him, so he can just ask that person when the time comes.]

[Wait, why do we want to see him so much? ] A certain Liu Sheng really couldn't catch up with this line of thought.

The other Liu Shengs said in unison as if it was natural: [Of course it’s for autographs! ]

At this time, a voice interrupted and asked weakly: [He left...but, did he pay? ]
