Chapter 108 - 75: Humanity, How Can It Not Perish?
When Chen Yao opened the door, the old man outside, Mr. Li, was taken aback.
He looked at Wang Ping and the others, greatly astonished.
Originally, the headmaster said there would be three people, but now there was an extra one.
Does that mean that even the headmaster, at the level of a taoist priest, was unable to detect the extra person?
The skill of this person in hiding their breath was truly astonishing.
“Miss Chen Yao, these must be your friends.”
Mr. Li greeted Chen Yao with a warm smile on his face.
“Yes, they’re my friends.” Chen Yao calmly nodded.
“l see. Because the current situation is not very good, and you suddenly have guests, it may cause some unnecessary trouble. Therefore, the headmaster asks you to go to his office.” Mr. Li nodded seriously and said.
“So, everyone, please come with me.”
Chen Yao, Wang Ping, Cai Yonglong, Zhang Jun, and Zhang Hu exchanged glances but did not say much as they followed Mr. Li to the Master of Taoist Academy’s office.
When they arrived at the office, they saw a Taoist wearing a robe and with a scratch mark on his face, sitting in the office chair.
Apart from him, there was another person in the office.
He had white hair and beard, a kind expression, and no trace of his breath could be detected, as if he were just an ordinary old man.
Wang Ping glanced at the headmaster and then looked at the kind old man, squinting his eyes.
This person was the Great Taoist tier powerhouse he had sensed.
Although, the person in front of him only seemed to be barely comparable to the half-step Transcendent Realm, there was a unique temperament about him that caught his attention.
As Wang Ping observed the white-haired old man, Chen Yao and the others also noticed his existence and guessed his identity, feeling quite amazed in
their hearts.
“Mr. Li, thank you for your hard work, you may leave first.”
On the headmaster’s side, he asked Mr. Li to leave. Mr. Li respectfully nodded and left the office, gently closing the door behind him.
“Miss Chen Yao, aren’t you going to introduce us to your cross-world traveler friends?”
Soon, the headmaster turned to Chen Yao with a warm smile and asked.
At this remark, Chen Yao’s eyes narrowed slightly.
However, she let it go shortly after.
It was only normal for the headmaster to guess the identities of Wang Ping and the others.
After all, her status was very sensitive, and she had been under constant attention.
And those who could appear silently in her room, dressed differently and without the unique aura of cultivators, could only be guests from the Exoteric World.
“My name is Wang Ping. They are Cai Yonglong, Zhang Hu, and Zhang Jun.”
As Chen Yao was thinking about how to speak, Wang Ping stood up, smiled faintly, and introduced himself and his companions.
“The reason we came to this world is at the invitation of Miss Chen Yao, to help the people of this world break free from their predicament.”
The headmaster’s eyes flashed with surprise, and his heart was filled with astonishment as he heard this information bomb.
He had just been testing earlier and did not expect Wang Ping and the others to be cross-world travelers indeed.
Furthermore, from what Wang Ping said, it was clear that there was a connection between the cross-world travelers and that they could even visit the worlds where others were, which was a huge piece of information.
As for the purpose of Wang Pings words, the headmaster also understood. These cross-world travelers could support each other, so don’t think about any crooked ideas.
For a moment, the headmaster and the white-haired old man exchanged glances, their hearts unable to calm down.
On the side, Chen Yao soon realized and shot Wang Ping a grateful look.
“Miss Chen Yao has put in a lot of effort. On behalf of the humans in our world, I express my gratitude for the assistance of you cross-world travelers.”
Then, the headmaster showed a smile, stood up, enthusiastically walked towards Wang Ping and the others, and invited them to sit on the sofa.
Wang Ping and the others did not hold back and simply sat down.
“l wonder how long you friends will be able to stay in our world.”
After the headmaster courteously brewed tea for Wang Ping and the others, he asked with a serious expression on his face.
This was also a test.
“We can stay as long as needed. However, once we’ve resolved the problem, we’ll each go our separate ways.”
Wang Ping answered calmly.
“Hehe, I wonder what exactly you’re referring to when you say ‘resolve the problem.’ Is it helping us suppress the monsters and demons and bring peace to the world? If so, I’m afraid it won’t be easy.”
The headmaster asked with a smile.
During the conversation between the two, Chen Yao, Cai Yonglong, Zhang Hu, and Zhang Jun all remained silent, like background actors.
As for the old man, he did not say much either, just quietly sitting there like a statue.
“Regarding this, I have plans of my own. But before that, I need to know more about your world specifically. Of course, if you don’t trust us, you do not need to say more.”
Wang Ping did not intend to answer in detail but spoke with a profound meaning.
Having encountered problems within human society in the life simulation, he did not want to reveal too much information this time around.
It was enough to have tried just one time using brute force to collect information like in the previous life simulation.
“Since you’re Miss Chen Yao’s companion, I naturally trust you. Feel free to ask, Fellow Taoist Wang Ping.”
The headmaster said with a smile.
“Chen Yao has already told me about the general situation of your world.
However, I would like to know the specific number of Demon Kings and Great Taoist masters in your world..”
