Chapter 92 The Remnant Body of Tai Sui
After saying this, the master hung up the phone, leaving Lu Ren and the white-haired little girl in front of him looking at each other in bewilderment.
He wrote down his master's phone number and then told Shen Wangshu why he wanted to visit the senior Gu Tong'er.
Shen Wangshu yawned, looking sleepy.
"Since it's Grandmother's order, then Xiao Wangshu has no choice but to obey. However, this is also Grand Tutor's task, so it's best if Grand Tutor comes up with a solution!"
Lu Ren was a little embarrassed: "Um—please don't call me Grand Tutor or anything like that, it just feels weird. Just call me Lu Ren. You are my elder, after all, and I can't accept that title. My master isn't unreasonable."
"Although what Grand Tutor said makes sense, we still have to call him Grand Tutor."
Why?
"Because it's fun."
Great, the whole thing fell apart. Your "loli old lady" persona has been ruined.
Are the older members of the Shen family all a bit abnormal in temperament?
"Oh, my dear auntie!"
"You should call him Xiao Wangshu."
Lu Ren was convinced and stopped worrying about it. He asked, "Little Wangshu, do you have any plans?"
"Not at all, and it's already this late. Little Wangshu should go back to sleep, and Grand Tutor, you should rest early too!"
Lu Ren was in a real bind right now, and quickly said, "Little Wangshu, I think we need to discuss this further—"
"We'll have to discuss that tomorrow, Master. It's already 10:30 at night. You young people can stay up all night, but this old woman can't!"
"Um, I'm sorry—"
Just as Lu Ren stopped, the white-haired loli asked again, "Grand Tutor, do you know what that longevity-promoting treasure is?"
He honestly shook his head: "I don't know."
"Grand Tutor, you don't know?"
"Is that something everyone knows?"
"Quite the opposite! This is a secret known only to a few people in the world, and even most people in the Burning Sun Realm may not know it. I just thought that my great-grandmother had told you about it, but she is not one to give long explanations, so she was probably waiting for me to tell you."
Lu Ren followed behind Shen Wangshu. Occasionally, they would encounter a few members of the Shen clan returning from outside the manor, who would all respectfully greet Shen Wangshu.
"Aunt, who is this?"
A bald, bearded old man, nearing fifty, appeared on the road.
"This is the Grand Tutor, my dear Hao'er, quickly greet him—"
Lu Ren quickly interrupted, "Grandma—!"
"Little Wangshu! How many times have I told you, Grand Tutor, just call me Little Wangshu."
Despite being reminded so many times, Shen Wangshu still squinted, and Lu Ren could sense that the white-haired loli was getting a little angry.
The old man looked bewildered. Although he didn't know what was going on, he reacted quickly and respectfully said, "Oh, so it's Grand Tutor. Your grand-disciple, Shen Hao, greets Grand Tutor—"
As a member of the Shen family, he understood from a young age that appearance was not important, and that the smaller someone appeared, the more terrifying they often were.
He just didn't know why this Grand Tutor had a head of black hair; he guessed it was dyed black later.
Lu Ren chuckled awkwardly, not daring to respond.
Shen Wangshu continued, "Don't assign any tasks to Zhaozhao these next few days. I've asked Zhaozhao to take care of some things."

"well----"
"Hao'er, go and rest first. I have some things to discuss with the Grand Tutor."
"Then Aunt—and Grand Tutor, you should also get some rest."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Seeing his nephew take his leave, Shen Wangshu asked, "Grand Tutor, do you know anything about Tai Sui?"
"Tai Sui?"
Lu Ren knew there was a kind of fleshy Ganoderma called Tai Sui, but it shouldn't be the same thing as what Shen Wangshu said.
He honestly replied, "I don't know."
"Come with me, and I'll tell you all about it."
As Shen Wangshu walked, he said, "In ancient legends, a being called Tai Sui will appear in the future. Although Tai Sui has not yet been born, the gods have foreseen its existence and prophesied that when it is born, the world will come to an end and everything will perish."
On his way to Yanzhou, Lu Ren learned from Shen Yaoxing about beings such as the "Great Heavenly Venerable", "Patrolling Lamp Fairy", and "Holy Mother of Observing the Void and Creating Images".
"Do you mean the Great Celestial Venerable and the like?"
Shen Wangshu shook his head: "It's not the Great Celestial Venerable, but an existence even more ancient than the Great Celestial Venerable. Let's call them Ancient Gods. After the Ancient Gods foresaw the birth of Tai Sui, they felt panicked and began to make arrangements in the distant past, trying to find ways to hinder it."
But the result was despair. The birth of Tai Sui was in the future much further away than the ancient gods had imagined, so much so that even as the ancient gods' lives came to an end, they found no clues as to the arrival of Tai Sui.
However, although all the ancient gods perished, their will to prevent the birth of Tai Sui was passed down from the distant past to the present without interruption, and they successfully prevented the birth of Tai Sui in the distant future.
"In the future?"
"Yes, it's in the future, maybe hundreds of years from now, or maybe thousands of years from now? In any case, at the crucial moment of Tai Sui's birth, the messengers of the ancient gods successfully killed him and prevented his birth."
Is this a prophecy?
"It's not a prophecy, but a definite outcome."
Lu Ren could roughly understand what was being said, but he couldn't quite grasp it. If it was about things happening in the future, how could this be determined?
"The reason we can be certain that Tai Sui will die in the future is because Tai Sui is a deity who controls the power of time."
When the ancient gods perished, they swore a blood oath that if their descendants successfully killed Tai Sui, they would use Tai Sui's authority to send Tai Sui's remains from the distant future back to the distant past, thus proving its death.
Hearing this, Lu Ren probably guessed what was going on.
"Did they succeed in the future?"
"It's a success! The remnant of the Tai Sui was transported from the distant future back to the distant past, and finally split into three parts. Legend has it that as long as one obtains one part of the Tai Sui remnant, one's own time can be extended, and extended again. If all three parts of the Tai Sui remnant can be collected—"
"What will happen if you collect all three?"
"You will gain supreme power, a power that surpasses all those at the Burning Sun Realm in the entire world."
"Really? Really?"
"I don't know, but the last person to collect all three fragments of his body was that Great Celestial Venerable of Mist-Clad Year-Cutting."
Lu Ren swallowed hard and asked, "So, the precious material in the hands of Senior Gu Tong'er is a fragment of a Tai Sui?"
""
"Grand Tutor, you think so too?"
"————" Something's not right. This question is very wrong.
"What do you mean I think so too?"
"Oh dear, because all of this was actually told to me by my great-grandmother. She always suspected that the treasure in Gu Tong'er's hands was the remains of that Tai Sui, so sixty years ago she had me stationed here to keep watch."
"7
Lu Ren was truly convinced. "But what does this remains of the Tai Sui look like? We've never seen it before. Even if we were to steal it, we'd need to know what it looks like, right?"
"The Grand Tutor should have met him."
"I've seen him before?"
"Tai Sui is the god of time. After his three fragments returned to the past, they transformed into three concepts: the sun, the moon, and the stars. These three concepts of light were then materialized and transformed into a very special true-seed illusory beast. Humans can sign a contract with it. Grandmaster should have often seen this illusory beast while he was with his great-grandmother in the clan territory."
Lu Ren pondered for a moment, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Is it a firefly?"
"Yes, it's the Firefly of the Year!"
The white-haired loli stopped in her tracks, looked up at him, and said, "There's no need to rush. Grand Tutor, you will be staying in Yanzhou for a while. During this time, I will investigate Gu Tong'er's true strength and find the place where Gu Tong'er is in seclusion. Then I will use the method of entering his dreams to explain my purpose to him."
Will he give it to me?
"Gu Tong'er is nearing the end of his life and has long had the idea of transferring that precious material. Xiao Wangshu has spent half her life in Yanzhou. Although she hasn't achieved much, she has a close relationship with the Gu family. My deceased husband was once an elder of the Gu family, and Xiao Wangshu is also considered Gu Tong'er's son and nephew. I will go and explain my intentions to Gu Tong'er, and he should not refuse."
Although Shen Wangshu was small, her words were strangely reassuring.
"Is there anything I need to do?"
"Grand Tutor, although it is very impolite to say this, you are only at the Candle Illumination Realm—"
Lu Ren felt a little embarrassed. She was a Frost Moon Realm expert. If she had any difficulties, what could he do to help?
"Actually, I've been stuck in a bottleneck for a while now, and I feel like breaking through to the next level is just a matter of time. If I work hard tonight, I might be able to break through tomorrow —"
Okay, even if I break through to the Flame Realm, I probably won't be able to help Xiao Wangshu much — ptooey, what Xiao Wangshu? Unlike the mysterious master, she's a genuine eighty-year-old grandmother.
Shen Wangshu suddenly stopped, then looked up at him, her squinting eyes slightly opening, and smiled, "However, little Wangshu does indeed have something to ask of the Grand Tutor."
Lu Ren was taken aback, then asked, "What is it?"
"Not only do I need to ask the Grand Tutor, but I also need to ask Little Yaoxing—"
"Please, Miss? What is it?"
"Oh dear, it's a family scandal, but since it's Grand Tutor, we're family, so it's fine for him to know. This matter mainly stems from my granddaughter, Shen Zhaozhao—"
Shen Wangshu told him that, generally speaking, girls from noble families would be ready to get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen. When it came to her, the ancient clan had selected ten or eight outstanding men for her, but she didn't like any of them.
While she was worrying about this at home, Shen Zhaozhao came straight to the point, telling them not to introduce her to any more promising young men, because she didn't like men, she liked women.
This infuriated her father, who, perhaps in a fit of anger, kicked her out of the Gu family.
Regardless of whether it was said in anger, Shen Zhaozhao ran directly back to her mother's clan, the Shen family of Linjiang, where she happened to run into 14-year-old Shen Yaoxing.
Although Shen Yaoxing was young that year, she was as beautiful as a delicate flower, possessing stunning beauty even at a young age.
The moment this lesbian saw Shen Yaoxing, she was instantly captivated!
From then on, Shen Zhaozhao clung to Xiao Yaoxing every day. At first, the adults in the Shen clan thought the sisters had a good relationship, but later, some knowledgeable people gradually realized that something was wrong.
Stop crying! The dowry from one family is attacking the other!
Shen's men quickly put a sack over her and escorted her back to the Yanzhou branch overnight.
At the time, Shen Yaoxing didn't quite understand. She was saddened for a while after learning from her elders that the older sister who had taken such good care of her had returned to Yanzhou.
"Zhao Zhao said that she won't give up unless Xiao Yaoxing finds someone she likes."
Shen Wangshu paused, then continued, "So I told Xiao Zhaozhao that the boy who came with Xiao Yaoxing this time is actually Xiao Yaoxing's boyfriend, hoping to get her to give up. Xiao Yaoxing and I have already discussed this, so please, Grand Tutor, don't let this slip!"
PS: After thinking about how to revise it, I finally decided to delete the He family's storyline and go directly to Yanzhou. The main purpose of the He family's storyline is not He Qingqing, but to introduce He Zhuifeng. In the original story, a rift in the Void Realm appeared in Jizhou, and Lu Ren and others experienced a battle through the Void Realm Rift. However, they were not the main force, but just cleaned up the battlefield. So removing this storyline will not affect the reading experience. I am really sorry for the bad experience the past two days' storyline has given everyone!
