Su Qianqian added, “And I’ll be six next month.”

Whether it was four, five, or six years old, there was actually no difference.

However, when these words came out of Su Qianqian’s mouth, and she even acted like a little adult, it inevitably made people feel like she was a small imp.

Jiang Che was more than two meters away from Su Qianqian. He didn’t want to get any closer to Su Qianqian. Perhaps he was afraid of this cute little girl, or perhaps Jiang Che was afraid that Su Qianqian would see through the truth that he couldn’t let Su Qianqian see.

Jiang Che said bluntly, “Uncle doesn’t know what cultivation technique this is, either. At dusk that day, I looked at my shadow being elongated by the afterglow until it drowned my entire figure. I felt that I was getting further and further away, so I wondered if I could chase after that shadow that was immersed in the sunset.”

These words sounded very muddled.

But on second thought, wasn’t he chasing after a shadow?

In other words, he had surpassed the shadow, and the shadow was the reflection of light. Didn’t that mean that the shadow chasing at that moment was faster than the light beam?

Could humans really do that?

Hearing this, Su Qianqian stood up and looked at the shadow under the moonlight.

She stretched out her small hand and placed it on her shadow.

“Uncle Jiang, like this?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Qianqian’s figure suddenly disappeared. However, it was only for a moment. It was as if the spectators’ eyes were blindfolded, but in the next moment, she appeared again.

However, Su Qianqian’s figure remained on the spot.

Others could not see anything unusual.

However, as a cultivator, Jiang Che saw at a glance that Su Qianqian circled around her shadow once.

This wasn’t how fast he was, but another ability. He named this ability Chasing Shadows.

“Yes.” Jiang Che’s expression was very calm, but his tone was filled with surprise.

He had never dared to question Su Qianqian, even if she was just a little girl. After all, her father was too terrifying. What kind of existence was above a Sage?

He even thought that Su Yang might already be half a step away from becoming an immortal.

For cultivators, ascension to immortality was their final wish.

What was an immortal?

There was no need to explain further.

This was because the word “immortal” was already deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people of the Dragon Country©.

“Uncle Jiang, are you very cold?” Su Qianqian asked.

Jiang Che only nodded and did not answer Su Qianqian’s question directly.

Su Qianqian clearly didn’t come into contact with Jiang Che.

After all, Jiang Che had deliberately kept a distance of three meters from Su Qianqian.

However, Su Qianqian suddenly asked this question. There had to be something else.

Actually, when Su Qianqian was chosen by the Heavenly Dao System for the first time and entered the Demon Eating Forest, she displayed extraordinary abilities.

In the beginning, the netizens only categorized Su Qianqian’s ability as luck. However, after learning more about Su Qianqian time after another, they knew she was able to see things that others could not. After she kept discovering things that others could not discover, they gradually understood that Su Qianqian was really different.

It was only when Su Qianqian’s performance became more shocking and exposed that Su Yang was a big shot that the netizens’ mentality changed.

Now, as long as Su Qianqian said something shocking, it would definitely not be nonsense.

“Why did Su Qianqian say that Jiang Che was very cold?”

“If we say that it’s because of the weather, then we’re underestimating the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.”

“I think so too. Although I’ve never come into contact with cultivators, I know that they won’t feel cold if they’re placed in a place dozens of degrees below zero.”

“Then what does Su Qianqian mean?”

Everyone was very curious.

They had been watching the live broadcast of Su Qianqian and Jiang Che. Jiang Che said, “Little Su Qianqian, do you want to hear a story about Uncle?” Hearing this, Su Qianqian immediately nodded. “Okay, I like to listen to stories.”

Su Qianqian pretended to listen attentively.

Jiang Che first looked up at the dazzling starry sky. When he slowly retracted his gaze, he seemed to have retracted his sharp expression, but there was a hint of gentleness in his eyes.

“Uncle has been an orphan since he was young. He has always lived in an orphanage. There were many children there who had the same background as me. Every one of them yearned for a great dream.

“When I was young, my dream was to grow up and be a public servant of the people who promoted good and punished evil. However, the heavens didn’t follow my wishes.”

“Why?” Su Qianqian’s curiosity was aroused.

Jiang Che was silent for a while, as if he was organizing his words. In fact, he was recalling his childhood.

“When Uncle was eight years old, he was adopted by an old man. The first week that the old man adopted me, he locked me in a small black room. The second week, he soaked me in a cold well for half a month. At that time, I thought I was going to die.”

When Jiang Che said this, his eyes were still shining.

“For half a year, I suffered all kinds of inhuman torture.”

At this point, Jiang Che looked at Su Qianqian, and asked, “Will it scare you?”

“No, I’m not afraid.” Su Qianqian shook her head.

Jiang Che continued, “Half a year later, I remember a total of 18 times when I thought that I wouldn’t live past tomorrow, but every time I lost consciousness, I saw a beam of light.

Jiang Che emphasized “a ray of light” and kept his eyes on Su Qianqian. Actually, many people had noticed that Su Qianqian was like a ray of light in despair. It was not to guide people from the darkness to the light, but the moment they saw Su Qianqian, they felt that Su Qianqian was a new hope.

At this moment, Su Qianqian was still quietly listening to the story.

“From then on, my ideals changed, and I couldn’t go back. To be more precise, I’ve never had light.”

Jiang Che subconsciously touched his face.

His ugly face seemed to be engraved with indelible painful memories.

It was obvious.

Jiang Che’s face was full of bumps and hollows, as if his face was disfigured. It was not natural, but acquired.

As for how it was caused, although no one knew.

However, they could guess that Jiang Che had always lived in darkness.

“Is that why Uncle Jiang’s body is so cold?” Su Qianqian asked.

Jiang Che nodded again, and said, “Yes, Uncle has already forgotten what it feels like to be warm.”

In the Heavenly Dao live-stream.

The netizens began to speculate.

“Jiang Che is a cultivator of the Zongheng lineage. Huang Lu and the others also said that the cultivators of the Zongheng lineage are all sinister and cunning.”

“The old man who adopted Jiang Che must also be a cultivator from the Zongheng lineage.

“I seem to understand why Huang Lu is so wary of Jiang Che.

“People who are nurtured in that kind of darkness are no different from cold­blooded animals.”

“No wonder Su Qianqian asked Jiang Che if he was cold. It turns out that coldness refers to being cold-blooded!”
