Chapter 245: 0243 Dual Personality

Ye Qiu did not respond for a long time, and the mysterious figure said, "Is it difficult for you?"

Ye Qiu remained silent for a while before slowly saying, "I have already taken an old man who raised me as my master, and although that old man is somewhat lecherous, he has treated me well."

"Haha..." The mysterious figure gave a sheepish smile, and did not press Ye Qiu further, continuing, "Since you are unwilling, I won’t insist. If we cannot be master and disciple, let’s be friends despite the age gap."

"I am honored that senior thinks highly of me. As for becoming a disciple, without the old lecher’s approval, I would not dare to accept another master," Ye Qiu replied respectfully.

The mysterious figure laughed, indicating it was no issue.

"Summon your True Qi shield for me to see," he said.

Upon hearing the mysterious figure’s request, Ye Qiu was overjoyed, knowing that the other was about to give him guidance. He was about to circulate his True Qi when he suddenly realized it was still sealed. With a casual flick from the mysterious figure, Ye Qiu’s True Qi could move freely, and he then formed a protective shield with it around his body.

The mysterious figure watched Ye Qiu’s True Qi shield, seemingly deep in thought, and after a while, let Ye Qiu retract it.

"You have grasped the essence of forming a True Qi shield, but this is far from sufficient," he said.

"The True Qi shield is somewhat similar to the Golden Bell Shield, yet it surpasses it because it transcends the physical body, forming a layer of protection outside of it, whereas the Golden Bell Shield still depends on the physical body to protect oneself."

"Your True Qi shield may suffice against ordinary martial artists at the realm of True Qi, but should you encounter a master, your True Qi shield may not be useful," the mysterious figure said lightly.

Ye Qiu did not argue, but listened silently. The mysterious figure was not wrong. Initially, Ye Qiu thought that having formed the True Qi shield, he would be invincible at the realm of True Qi, or at least his defensive power would be unbreakable. However, when Fujikawa Ueno unleashed a sword technique, it tore through his True Qi shield, which was a huge shock to Ye Qiu at that time. Now, hearing the mysterious figure’s words, he felt a strong resonance.

Ye Qiu was like a student receptive to instruction, and the mysterious figure was willing to teach, offering advice.

Under the guidance of the mysterious figure, Ye Qiu gained a deeper understanding of his True Qi shield and knew how to improve and enhance it. He was filled with gratitude for the mysterious figure.

This mysterious figure, who had once attacked him in the bamboo forest cemetery and was now generously sharing knowledge, made Ye Qiu’s feelings quite complex.

The sunlight soon vanished beyond the horizon, and the distant mountains became increasingly blurred as night gradually fell.

Inside the cave, it was not cold at all. A fire crackled with burning wood.

Ye Qiu sat in meditation and rested. The mysterious figure no longer sealed his True Qi and, after giving his guidance, allowed Ye Qiu to cultivate on his own.

The mysterious figure said he was going to catch some game and had not returned for quite a while. As Ye Qiu cultivated, he waited for the peculiar figure, thinking about when to tell him that he should make a trip back to the Goddess Villa to report his safety before seeking further counsel from the mysterious figure.

By Ye Qiu’s estimation, he had been away for five days and wondered if the girls were worried about him. Thinking of the Goddess Villa and the beautiful women like Shen Mengchen and Shangguan Hong, Ye Qiu’s desire to return to the Goddess Villa intensified.

Crack, crack, crack...

Hearing the sound of stones falling at the entrance of the cave, Ye Qiu guessed that the mysterious figure had returned.

In just a few breaths, a figure appeared at the entrance of the cave. By the light cast from the flames of the fire, the figure of the mysterious person quickly moved inside.

Seeing the mysterious figure carrying a wild hare and a roe deer, Ye Qiu immediately stepped forward and said, "Senior, let me handle these."

Just as Ye Qiu reached out his hand, suddenly, he saw a flicker of cold light in the eyes of the mysterious figure, revealing a stiff face.

On the rigid face, a few words suddenly floated out, "How are you able to move?"

Ye Qiu saw a hint of confusion in the eyes of the mysterious person, and he couldn’t understand why the mysterious one seemed somewhat unfamiliar again.

"I sealed your True Qi, rendering you immobile, and with your skills, you certainly couldn’t break free," the mysterious person mumbled to himself. Suddenly, his gaze flashed, and he spoke indifferently, "It was him, it must have been him who unsealed your True Qi, this useless thing."

The voice of the mysterious person was icy as he regarded Ye Qiu, lacking the gentleness he had shown when advising him earlier. The mysterious person before Ye Qiu felt like a completely different person, and it made Ye Qiu recall that when he first met the mysterious person, the aura emitted was not unlike the current one.

An icy mysterious person, a kindly mysterious person—these two vastly different personalities manifested in the same individual left Ye Qiu feeling dizzy, unable to comprehend why this was so.

"What did he tell you?" The icy mysterious person asked coldly, or rather, it sounded more like an interrogation.

"He gave me some advice," Ye Qiu replied succinctly, without elaboration.

Upon hearing this, the icy mysterious person snorted and cursed, "Again with the advice to others, acting as if he’s a living Bodhisattva, everywhere liberating beings, this piece of trash. Couldn’t he engage less in such meaningless behavior?"

Listening to the mysterious person’s rambling, a term surfaced in Ye Qiu’s mind that seemed to fit the person before him.

Multiple personalities!

The person before him must possess dual personalities, a term Ye Qiu had come across in an article, which discussed the multiplicity of human personalities.

But the majority of people display only one personality throughout their lives, with only a very small number having multiple personalities.

Medically speaking, such multiple personalities are a form of mental illness, a pathological manifestation. Yet the idea of such a thing occurring in a great master was beyond Ye Qiu’s comprehension—what could possibly cause such a powerful individual to suffer from a disorder like dual personalities.

As Ye Qiu pondered the dual personalities of the person before him, the icy mysterious figure suddenly fixed his gaze on Ye Qiu.

That look sent chills down Ye Qiu’s spine, and involuntary cold sweat broke out over his body.

"He likes to give advice to others, and I can’t stop that. Having encountered you, he informally bestowed his advice; it was your good fortune," the mysterious person said lightly.

However, before the icy mysterious person could finish speaking, his voice, strange and diffuse, reached Ye Qiu’s ears, "But I am different from him; I delight in crushing everything I dislike, and only slaughter brings me a sense of joy."

"He enjoys reciting ’Diamond Sutra’, especially the ’Diamond Sutra’, which I least like to hear. He also likes to eat vegetarian, whereas I prefer meat. I like to consume it raw, the sensation of biting into flesh and blood together in my mouth makes one forget everything."

"Regrettably, this body is now under my control, and your good fortune will turn into a death sentence," the icy mysterious person said, staring at Ye Qiu and suddenly letting out a cold laugh.

Ye Qiu couldn’t fathom what this icy mysterious person was thinking when he next heard, "You now have twenty breaths’ worth of time. You can choose to run, or you can choose to stay and wait for your death by my hand."

"Begin."

Ye Qiu watched as the mysterious person extended a finger towards him, followed by a second.

This guy was no joke!

Ye Qiu turned and ran like mad. No joke indeed, he had no intention of waiting around for death; he would seize any chance for survival that presented itself.

To escape from before the icy mysterious person! If he couldn’t escape, he might really be killed by this individual with dual personalities, a true madman!
