Chapter 1783: Chapter 1780: Divine Fire Daoist’s Anger_1 Chapter 1783: Chapter 1780: Divine Fire Daoist’s Anger_1 In the blink of an eye, Yang Chen arrived at the Inheritance Five Palaces, the palace of the Divine Fire Daoist.

As soon as he stepped foot in the palace, Yang Chen immediately felt a rise in temperature, accompanied by layers of intense flames sweeping towards him.

In an instant, the flames surrounded him tightly, and the face of the Divine Fire Daoist emerged from the fire.

Upon revealing himself, the Divine Fire Daoist coldly said, “Kid, I advise you to give me a reasonable explanation; otherwise, even if I don’t take your life today, I will make sure you taste the consequences of angering me!”

Hearing the Divine Fire Daoist’s words, Yang Chen knew that he was angry, but he dared to provoke the Divine Fire Daoist’s anger for a reason.

At least for now, the situation didn’t seem too bad, as the Divine Fire Daoist was giving him a chance to explain.

Yang Chen respectfully bowed and said, “Elder Divine Fire, the reason why I revealed some of your affairs to Junior Luo Yi Hong was actually intentional. I was thinking that since White Star Taoist had been looking for you for so many years…”

“Hmph, what does her searching for so many years have to do with me? Are you moved by her perseverance and just giving her hope by telling her?” the Divine Fire Daoist retorted.

After listening to this, Yang Chen said, “Elder Divine Fire, in fact, you should also have a deep concern for Elder White Star, right?”

The Divine Fire Daoist was slightly stunned, and his emotions could be perceived through the fluctuations of the flames.

Seeing the Divine Fire Daoist’s emotions change, Yang Chen knew that his guess was right and he gently said, “Elder Divine Fire, you must have cared about Elder White Star. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been so furious with me. After all, I haven’t told anyone where you are. I only told Luo Yi Hong that you’re still alive. This alone shouldn’t make you angry. The only reason for your anger is that you don’t want Elder White Star to know that you’re alive. You care so much about her thoughts of you because either you still love her, or you hate her in your heart. But I think you care about her too much.”

The Divine Fire Daoist wanted to argue, but after thinking about it for a while, he sighed.

He withdrew the flames and snorted, “You little guy, you really are cunning. My thoughts were indeed seen through by you. Well, since you’ve guessed it, I won’t hide it from you anymore. At first, I didn’t have any feelings for White Star, but later, I found that I started to have some goodwill towards her. However, since our ages were different, I couldn’t tolerate others gossiping about me. And now, even though she has been searching for me for so many years, I wouldn’t have changed my mind. But what can we do about it? I have made an agreement with Jingming Daoist not to leave the Inheritance Five Palaces for the rest of my life. Even if she knows that I’m alive, what can she do? It will only bring more sorrow, seeing each other but not able to meet. It’s better to let her think that I’m dead and put an end to her thoughts of me. You, on the other hand, just gave her hope. Wouldn’t that be even more painful for her?”

Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile, as his speculation was correct – the Divine Fire Daoist cared about White Star very much.

He gravely said, “Senior, how can you be sure that there’s no way out?”

“Hmph, I made an agreement with Ming Jin Daoist that only when there is a new master for the Inheritance Five Palaces, and I have nurtured them into someone like I once was, can I regain my freedom with the new master’s consent. What’s the difference between this and being trapped here for life?” the Divine Fire Daoist said.

Yang Chen laughed, “Then just wait for me to grow up, won’t that be enough?”

The Divine Fire Daoist squinted, “Kid, you make it sound so easy. Do you think it’s easy to grow up? Just to inherit the Inheritance Five Palaces and become the new master, do you know how many steps there are? The most critical step is that you must have the power of the Enlightenment Stage, and then pass the Assessment of Ming Jin Daoist. Do you think it’s really that easy?” the Divine Fire Daoist scolded.

Yang Chen solemnly said, “Elder Divine Fire, becoming the new master of the Inheritance Five Palaces is indeed an uphill task, but I still have confidence that I can succeed. Even though the chances are slim, I will still try. In my opinion, giving up because of difficulties and comforting myself by saying it’s for others’ good is irresponsibility. Senior’s duty is to cultivate juniors like me. Whether I can inherit the Five Palaces or not is also closely related to you. So do you really not have confidence in yourself to train me? Or do you have no confidence in yourself and feel that nothing works without trying?”

Yang Chen’s words hit the Divine Fire Daoist’s heart, and the latter was left speechless.

The Divine Fire Daoist didn’t expect the usually courteous and respectful Yang Chen to suddenly lecture him.

Yet, this lecturing was somewhat enlightening and refreshing to him.

The Divine Fire Daoist burst into laughter, “Kid, if it weren’t for your words waking me up, I might have slapped you to death right now. But you do have a point. I’ve lived for so many years, I’ve lost my passion and instead have come to rely on the younger generation’s confidence.”

Yang Chen was still a little nervous, unsure if the Divine Fire Daoist would be furious. However, the situation didn’t seem too bad for now.

Yang Chen continued, “I’m glad that Senior understands. If one day I can really achieve this, I will definitely let Senior reunite with Elder White Star as soon as possible.”

“Hehe, you little guy, you better remember what you said now, so you won’t think that I have value in the end and not let me go.” The Divine Fire Daoist slowly said, “When you become the new master of the Inheritance Five Palaces, you will find that the others in the Four Palaces are all under your control.”

Yang Chen smiled, “Perhaps my thoughts then will not be the same as they are now, but I will never be ungrateful.”

“Hahahaha, you little guy, that’s a good thing to say. As human cultivators, we cultivate to be true to the heavens, the earth, and our conscience. The fact that you won’t be ungrateful means that I didn’t read you wrong.” The Divine Fire Daoist laughed heartily.

Then, he looked deeply at Yang Chen, “Little guy, as for my situation, you decide what to do. I won’t interfere anymore. However, I hope that you don’t give people too much hope, because the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!”
