Chapter 66: He Actually Saw Through My Disguise

On the other side...
Shopkeeper Song stared at the lightning jumping on his fingertips before looking at Shen Tian again.
His burning gaze instantly turned so intense that it was unprecedented.
“Master Celestial, to think you had predicted such a result beforehand.”
I’ve predicted this result beforehand? Naturally, that’s impossible!
Currently, Shen Tian could only see another person’s fortuitous encounter from the omniscient point of view.
If the future changed due to him intervening, then Shen Tian would not be able to see that new future.
For example, Eunuch Gui obtaining the Demon Book of Hyuga was, of course, a huge fortuitous opportunity. However, Shen Tian would not be able to see beforehand the scene in which he gave Eunuch Gui the Demon Book of Hyuga.
The reason? There were countless possible futures, and Shen Tian was the variable within them.
Due to his spur-of-the-moment decisions, he a.s.sisted in producing opportunities for others. Naturally, he would not be able to predict such a future beforehand himself.
Shen Tian had not seen such a fortuitous opportunity on Shopkeeper Song and the others’ halos previously. Most likely, if it had progressed according to the original plot, they would not have been able to obtain the Divine Lightning Origin.
However, it might be due to the b.u.t.terfly effect that such an outcome was changed.
Shen Tian was unable to predict others’ additional fortuitous opportunities that happened due to his involvement.
However, given such a good opportunity, would he admit that he could not have predicted such a future?
Shen Tian smiled as he touched his mustache. “What do you think?”
Shen Tian’s words instantly caused Shopkeeper Song to worship Master Celestial even more.
Indeed, as long as I firmly cozy up to Master Celestial and do not waver, then he will definitely not mistreat me!
Fortunately, I did not chicken out when betting with that little girl. If not, how could I have obtained this Divine Lightning’s Origin?
Eh, where did she go?
Shopkeeper Song was slightly stunned. “Master Celestial, where did that little girl go?”
Shen Tian smiled slightly. “Little girl? Shopkeeper Song, you’re surely courageous to call her that.”
Shopkeeper Song replied, “She dared to question Master Celestial’s choice! Just what is that little girl’s background?”
Shen Tian revealed a wicked smile. “She is the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s Saintess, Zhang Yunxi.”
When Shen Tian finished, Shopkeeper Song’s legs instantly turned soft, and he collapsed on the ground.
OMFG! That little girl is Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s Saintess!?
WTH!? I’m feeling a little dizzy!
Shopkeeper Song looked at Shen Tian, full of resentment. “Master Celestial, I only talked back to the Saintess to help maintain your dignity. You-you can’t just leave me to fend for myself!”
Shen Tian was caught between laughter and tears upon seeing how Shopkeeper Song was about to cry from being so anxious.
He smiled and said, “Relax! Since you’re my subordinate, she won’t make things difficult for you.”
From what Shen Tian had seen, Zhang Yunxi did not seem to be someone who was petty.
Also, this time she was able to obtain the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant from the Sky Spirit Pavilion. )t was the best thing to happen in the previous 10,000 years for her Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
It was a historical moment, so who would have the time to care about a small character such as Shopkeeper Song?
Nevertheless, Shopkeeper Song would most likely be unable to get the 10% profit he should earn from cutting the ore. If he went to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, he might be able to get some benefits, but the question was, would he dare to go?
Since I am Master Celestial’s subordinate, she won’t make things difficult for me?
Shen Tian’s casual reply left Shopkeeper Song awestruck.
Master Celestial truly is Master Celestial! He’s on equal footing as the Saintess, and she even has to give him face!
Shopkeeper Song suddenly recalled that when Zhang Yunxi had agreed to the bet, she had said that if the item cost more than 500,000 Spirit Stones, she would give it to Master Celestial for free.
Was the Saintess purposely flattering Master Celestial earlier?
Sss, is it possible that the Saintess’ status is lower than Master Celestial’s status?
Shopkeeper Song could not help but be astonished.
Even a Saintess from a Sacred Ground would compete with us to please Master Celestial!? How can we even win against her!?
After a.n.a.lyzing the whole thing, Shopkeeper Song felt that he could not wait anymore.
Initially, he had wanted to interrogate that fellow who pretended to be Master Celestial before handing him over to Master Celestial. However, it now seemed that one needed to cozy up to Master Celestial as early as possible.
If the Saintess decided to fight with them to Master Celestial’s attention, how could Shopkeeper Song guarantee and maintain his position?
As such, Shopkeeper Song hurriedly said, “Master Celestial, I have something to tell you.”
He pulled Shen Tian to one side and said mysteriously, “Master Celestial, I have caught a little thief that pretended to be you.”
Pretended to be me?
Shen Tian was stunned. He had only adopted the Master Celestial persona for a few days, and there was already someone pretending to be Master Celestial?
The speed of piracy is this fast, even in the cultivation world!?
Shopkeeper Song took out a token and handed it to Shen Tian. “Master Celestial, please take a look.”
Shen Tian checked the token, and he instantly seemed interested.
He let out a cough and asked, “This token is?”
Shopkeeper Song sneered and said, “It was on that little thief, he dared to claim to be the 6th Prince of the Country of Fire, Shen Ao.”
Shen Tian asked guiltily, “What does he pretending to be the 6th Prince, Shen Ao, have to do with me, Shen Aotian?”
Shopkeeper Song was momentarily stunned. He then whispered, “Master Celestial, is it inconvenient for you to reveal your ident.i.ty?”
Shen Tian’s lips twitched slightly. “Shopkeeper Song, haven’t you thought of the possibility that this Shen Ao... might be legit?”
Shopkeeper Song replied with a smile, “Master Celestial, you must be joking. My son has already told me everything.
“You met my son when he was being rude to Miss Ling’er and taught him a lesson. Thus, he was fortunate enough to learn Master Celestial’s true ident.i.ty. You’re already here, so how could that Shen Ao be legit?”
Shopkeeper Song’s revelation shocked Shen Tian.
How is it possible? He actually saw through my disguise!
Shen Tian suddenly glanced at Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao, who were standing at the side, and realization dawned upon him.
No wonder! It should be Uncle Gui and Qin Gao who follow me that exposed my ident.i.ty. I was too careless. The person that beat up Young Shopkeeper Song is Uncle Gui.
Seeing Uncle Gui following behind me, how could Young Shopkeeper Song not a.s.sociate him to me? In addition, given my outstanding appearance, even if I disguised myself with a mustache, my handsomeness did not decrease at all, so I still stand out.
It’s no wonder Young Shopkeeper Song confirmed that I was Shen Ao!
When thinking to this point, Shen Tian could not help but feel helpless as this would be the fake Shen Ao meeting the real Shen Ao!
However, Shen Tian could not just turn his back on Shen Ao and leave him. They were siblings, after all.
At the same time, Shen Ao had given him face by releasing Qin Gao previously, so it would be unfair if Shen Tian were to just turn a blind eye and leave.
Not to mention that the Song father and son duo firmly believed that Shen Ao was fake. What if they decided to kill him? Thus, Shen Tian decided to first go and take a look.
If the person Shopkeeper Song had captured was also an impostor, then it went without saying that Shen Tian would continue impersonating Shen Ao.
If they really captured my sixth brother... Sss, just the thought of it is stressing me out!
“Shopkeeper Song, bring me to take a look at that fella!”
Then Shen Tian turned and ordered Eunuch Gui not to follow him in case Shen Ao recognized him.
Shen Tian followed Shopkeeper Song toward the chamber with a heavy conscience and touched the mustache on his face, clearly worried.
Although Uncle Gui was the reason Young Shopkeeper Song recognized me, it doesn’t mean that my disguise can completely conceal my handsomeness.
Sigh, what can I do? How troublesome!
