Book of Disaster

"Also, when you read this letter, you must have fought with the old guy in front of you... that is, the Thunder Elder Chen Yunci. Haha, this guy just looks fierce, is strong, and is used to being arrogant and domineering. Don't be afraid. Although he is a strong enemy, he is a close friend of grandpa who we only know after fighting... If you are bullied by him, tell grandpa and grandpa will help you fight back! Hahaha!"

"Although Grandpa is in the North Sea, he has heard about what happened in the Great Yuan, especially the feud between you and the Crown Prince's Guard Li Yuxuan."

"Grandpa has calculated that you will face a disaster that will put you in danger of death in the near future. This disaster is very serious, and the Thunder Elder Chen Yunci is someone Grandpa specially invited to help you avoid this disaster."

"Grandpa must tell you that the appearance of Old Man Thunder is not accidental. I have known him for many years, and Grandpa knows that he is the only one who can provide you with the necessary test at the critical moment."

"You may have guessed that there is no real hatred between Old Man Lei Ting and Grandpa. The past of Grandpa and Grandpa is more of a carefully choreographed play for the purpose of your growth and awakening. Only pressure can force out your potential and allow you to reach a higher level in the crisis."

"Grandpa knows that a duel with a senior emperor-level strongman will be a great test of your will and strength. This is a valuable experience that will allow you to stand higher and see further in your future martial arts journey."

"You may be confused or upset that Grandpa didn't reveal all this before."

"But Grandpa's silence is out of consideration for your growth. True strength needs to be discovered through challenges. Grandpa hopes you can understand that every step is arranged to temper your character and ability, so that you can become a true emperor-level strongman."

"Grandpa can't always be by your side, so I can only protect you in this way, so that you have the power to protect yourself. It's better to teach someone how to fish than to give him fish."

"My child, your road is destined to be lonely and difficult, and grandpa can't always be by your side.

"Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must stick to your heart and the Tao. Trust your intuition. It is the inexpressible connection between Grandpa and all the descendants of our Bai family."

"Grandpa is extremely proud of you and looks forward to seeing you create glory and legends that surpass grandpa one day."

"It's like meeting you in person!"

"The grandfather who has always been concerned about and cared for you, Elder Bai Xuan!"

“By the way, if you encounter a bottleneck, come to Beihai, and I will personally tell you the secret of our Bai family’s bloodline.”

……

The words on the letter were vigorous and powerful, with every stroke sharp, yet the words were filled with concern for Bai Qi.

Looking at the paper full of information, Bai Qi's thoughts were in a mess for a moment. He felt warm in his heart because of the care from his closest blood relatives, but he also had some other thoughts.

Old man Lei Ting Chen Yunci is actually a close friend of grandpa Bai Xuan?

This is incredible!

Looking at the old man in front of him, Bai Qi's eyes were full of suspicion. However, the aura revealed by old man Lei Ting was not as confrontational as before, but much more amiable.

Did grandpa predict that he would encounter disaster?

So does he also know the innate numerology?

This is possible. In this different world, many powerful and unrivaled masters seem to know some of this.

And old man Thunder——

Could it be that Old Man Lei Ting was deliberately brought upon himself by his grandfather?

In other words, if there was no Old Man Thunder, someone else would have taken action, and then the battle would not have ended so easily. It would have been... life and death would have been left to fate.

When Bai Qi thought of this, he was shocked and surprised.

At this moment, no one noticed that when Bai Qi was lost in thought, at the edge of the battlefield, a crow's dark eyes were watching this scene.

There was a flickering light in those eyes, containing an imperceptible taste and fluctuation of the laws of time and space, as if those eyes... could transmit what they saw to a place thousands of miles away.

After a long time, Bai Qi finally put down the letter, raised his head and opened his eyes.

"Thank you, senior."

Bai Qi's mind moved, and the true energy in his body burst out. He picked up Zhou Yixian and slowly fell from the sky, walking towards the old man Lei Ting opposite.

There was a flash of light all around, and the Tree of Life dimension that originally trapped Bai Qi disappeared.

The group reappeared on the continent of the New World, surrounded by lush ancient coniferous trees, and traces of the battle between the two sides could be seen in many places.

At the same time, there was a flash of fire, and Xu Xuansu, who was originally in the dimensional space, stepped out and appeared beside Bai Qi.

"So, senior, in fact, you and Grandpa Bai are not enemies, but old friends."

Xu Xuansu spoke.

Her expression was weird, and in fact, not only her, but also Zhou Yixian, and even Bai Qi, everyone felt a little weird in their hearts.

The enemy who was fighting to the death the moment before, who was irreconcilable with the Bai family and had a blood feud with them, became friends at this moment. Moreover, he even had a handwritten letter from Bai Qi's grandfather, Bai Xuanlao. Nothing could be stranger than this.

"Ah."

On the opposite side, old man Lei Ting smiled and nodded.

These little guys are still too young. Things in the martial arts world are unpredictable and complicated, especially for old guys like them, who are more thoughtful and think three, five, or even dozens of steps before taking one step. How can they think linearly like these young people?

——Besides enemies, there are friends?

Still need experience!

"So... you and Grandpa Bai have no grudge against each other?"

Xu Xuansu said again.

"Where does all the hatred come from? We don't know each other until we fight."

Old man Lei Ting smiled and shook his head.

"We did fight for a while back then, but there was one time when something unexpected happened during the fight. I think it happened in a dangerous ancient ruins. I almost died in it, but it was that old guy who saved me."

"I really admire the old man's broad-mindedness, so we have actually become friends since then. However, outsiders don't know about this. They only saw that I came out of there with wounds all over my body, and they just thought that I had a fierce battle with Bai Xuanlao. So I simply followed their thoughts and announced to the public that I had a lifelong feud with Bai Xuanlao and would not stop until one of us died."

"I was young back then, and I was a bit stubborn. I didn't expect that today, by some strange coincidence, I would save the child of an old friend of mine."

When old man Lei Ting said this, he looked at Bai Qi with a smile, his eyes full of admiration.

This kid is pretty good, worthy of being the grandson of old Bai Xuan. With such potential and understanding, I almost died in his hands.

But, damn it, why don’t I have such outstanding descendants?

That guy Bai Xuan is really enviable.
