Volume 1 Rebirth Return Chapter 42 Revenge

  "Master, I'm back."

  "Alright, let's eat." Liu Qingyun glanced at Su Rui and picked up his bowl, taking a sip of the soup.

  Su Rui quickly sat down and picked up her bowl, starting to drink the soup. Liu Qingyun hadn't made many dishes, there were only four dishes and one soup on the table, but each dish was very exquisite.

  After a while, Liu Qingyun put down her chopsticks, wiped the corner of her mouth, and didn't leave, but stared at Su Rui.

  Su Rui felt a bit uneasy under his gaze, put down her chopsticks, picked up the napkin beside her and wiped the corner of her mouth, sitting upright with a nervous expression as she looked at her own master.

  "Don't worry, I just have some things to hand over."

  Su Rui saw Liu Qingyun speaking quite kindly, so she put her mind at ease. At the same time, she also had a guess in her heart, possibly related to Du Yan's change of attitude towards her just now.

  As expected, what Liu Qingyun said next was reasonable, but also beyond her expectations.

  "You know that Tianji Gate has always had only two people, the master and the eldest son. I have already given you the symbol of the gate's authority, and once the inauguration ceremony is held, you will be the legitimate master of Tianji Gate. Du Yan was saved by me back then, and he has been staying by my side since then. Today, I made it clear to him that if he wants to stay, he must recognize you as his master. It seems that he has already made his choice, and in the future, what you need to do, he will be a great help. During this period of time, apart from intensifying your practice, I will also hand over Tianji Gate's human resources to you."

  Liu Qingyun pushed a thick account book beside her to Su Rui, "This is the detailed property of Tianji Gate, I'll hand it over to you now. Du Yan will handle the procedures and transfer all these to your name."

  At this time, Su Rui was really shocked. Master, what are you going to do? "Master! You can't..."

  Who would have thought that Liu Qingyun waved his hand and showed a tired expression, "The future of the Tianji Gate is up to you." After saying this, he got up and left the dining hall.

  Su Rui stood alone there, staring blankly at the account book in her hand.

  At night, Su Rui sat in front of the desk and flipped through the account book given to her by Liu Qingyun. What surprised her was that the account book recorded countless real estates, deeds, antiques, gold, and even many shares of old brand groups. This is not just a description of being rich enough to rival a country! Su Rui became even more confused, what did Master want to do? Liu Qingyun's move today made Su Rui feel inexplicably anxious, she took the account book to Liu Qingyun's door and was about to knock when she heard her master's voice from inside, "Come in."

  Su Rui wasn't surprised, pushed open the door and saw her own master lying on a noble chair reading a book.

  "Sit down." Liu Qingyun pointed to the stool in front of him with her book, and Su Rui sat down smoothly, thinking about how to start talking in her heart.

  "Ah, I knew you'd come looking for me..." Normally, at this hour, Liu Qingyun would have already gone to bed.

  "Master, why..." Su Rui asked anxiously, her eyes fixed on Liu Qingyun, praying in her heart that it wasn't the reason she thought.

  "Why did I hand over the account book to you?" Liu Qingyun put down the book in his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

  "Yes, why are you handing over the account book to me now? Is something going to happen?" Su Rui saw that her master had already opened up and said it, so she also didn't hide or conceal anything, directly expressing her own thoughts.

  "You silly girl, what else can happen! Do you think I'm going to die or something?! If I do die, it'll be because of your nagging!" Liu Qingyun knew exactly what Su Rui was thinking, but he could only pretend to scold her in annoyance.

  Su Rui saw her own master suddenly scolding herself, and her heart's worries became even more severe.

  "Master, you're telling me the truth, is something going to happen?" Su Rui furrowed her brow, and her gaze at Liu Qingyun became even more serious.

  "What are you thinking?! What could I possibly... " Under Su Rui's urgent gaze, Liu Qingyun spoke softer and softer until she couldn't help but shut her mouth.

  "Alas... nothing can be hidden from you, my disciple. Indeed, I have something to attend to. Originally, I wanted to hand over the entire Tianji Gate to you, so that I could leave with a clear conscience and go take revenge. But it seems you've found out." Liu Qingyun let out a deep sigh, finally revealing his true intentions.

  Su Rui had seen the past of his own master, so he knew what he meant by revenge. The reason why the Tianji Gate was slightly declining was that their abilities were getting weaker and weaker. In order to revive the Tianji Gate, the master of the Tianji Gate came up with a method hundreds of years ago, which was to learn Feng Shui divination. It may be due to the cultivation of the Worry-Free True Classic of the Tianji Gate, the disciples of the Tianji Gate can easily learn and achieve something in learning Feng Shui divination. This allowed the Tianji Gate to stop declining and even rise gradually. However, because of this, almost no one knew that the Tianji Gate had the ability to predict the future, but only thought that the Tianji Gate was a branch of mysticism.

  But for Liu Qingyun, being misunderstood by the world was the best outcome. After all, it's already a technological society now. If others were to find out about their abilities and get caught up in experiments, that would be disastrous. He wasn't confident enough to be an enemy of the state machinery yet.

  Liu Qingyun's master, Liu Mingzhi, was a famous Taoist master in the past. He was highly respected by officials and nobles, but because of his fame, someone began to envy him. That person was also a Taoist master named Zhou Churen. He felt that Liu Mingzhi had stolen his thunder and harbored resentment towards him. He often tried to trip up Liu Mingzhi, but with Liu's abilities, he always managed to turn danger into safety. Liu didn't even bother to take revenge on Zhou, which only made Zhou angrier. He thought that not only did Liu steal his spotlight, but also looked down on him. As a result, the grudge between the two men grew deeper and deeper.

  Of course, that was Zhou Churen's one-sided idea, Liu Mingzhi didn't take him to heart at all. After receiving the will of heaven, Liu Mingzhi left the city and went to find his destined apprentice.

  However, Liu Mingzhi underestimated the extent of someone's narrow-mindedness and did not expect that Zhou Churen would find him after so many years just to "take revenge".

  After finding his apprentice, he took his apprentice to live a secluded life in a small mountain village. After all, it was not safe to take a young child on the road during this era of war and division. It wasn't until Liu Qingyun grew up that Liu Mingzhi took him out of the mountain village to see the outside world. They went to many places and spent more than ten years before returning to the capital.

  At that time, Liu Qingyun was already 28 years old. Along the way, he witnessed the war-torn Z country and the displacement of its people. He bid farewell to his master and decided to join the army. Liu Mingzhi naturally wouldn't stop his own disciple, so he entrusted him not to neglect his cultivation and to be careful with his safety before letting him leave.

  Liu Qingyun left for twenty years, until the establishment of Z country, he returned to Beijing. At first, he resolutely left his master to join the army because he couldn't bear the suffering of the people. However, he didn't forget his responsibility as the eldest son of Tianji Gate. After the founding of New China, he disappeared without a trace. Where did Liu Qingyun go? He went to find his own master, but what he didn't expect was that his master, who hadn't been seen for twenty years, looked like an ordinary hundred-year-old man, with sparse white hair and a frail body. If it weren't for recognizing the breath, Liu Qingyun really wouldn't dare believe this was his own master.

  Liu Mingzhi saw his apprentice's shocked gaze and knew he couldn't hide it anymore, so he told his apprentice about his own experience.

  Digression
