Chapter 317 A Curious Beauty
"Now let's head back to the thing we're talking about, shall we?" returning to their real topic, Su Xiaotian starts discussing about what he did previously once again, beginning with clarifying how he managed to invoke different kind of feelings by showing a similar strand of qi.
"You see, Lady Xiang and also, Miss Jing, while I also understand that the so-called Dao is very important to us cultivators, I do believe that this doesn't mean that we must constrain ourselves into its concepts, because after all, just like how the young lady said it, the Dao is merely the path we tread, and it is not the know all and end all of things, ergo, it is merely the journey, and not the destination itself…" the immortal-like young man paused as he take liberty on pouring a cup of tea from the pot right in the middle of the table before he starts speaking once again.
"To give a simpler explanation… say this tea I poured, let's take it that, crass as it may, how I pour it is the Dao, then, why would I pour it there?" he asked, pushing the cup towards the young beauty across the table, said beauty absentmindedly taking it for herself but not drinking it, merely observing said tea as if there's something that she might just glean into by staring right at it.
"To drink it yourself, o-or to serve it to someone else, a-and maybe just for the sake of pouring it there…" the young beauty said with some sort of new light appearing in the depth of her gaze, the once mocking smile on her face as she looks upon the immortal-like young man previously now replaced with some sort of amazement, like she saw something that she never thought she need to all her life.
"That's right…" Su Xiaotian replied with the modest smile on his face now disappearing as he looks at the young beauty with eyes filled with interest, the way she deals with the new things just coming down to tear apart the reality she set upon herself making him amazed, just the fact alone that she can somehow integrate the words that he said to her despite having such solid belief in her stance causing his view of her to change for the better.
"B-but then, if it's just for the sake of pouring it in there, shouldn't it fall under my previous definition, that the Dao is the end all? Particularly since pouring that tea just for the sake of it emphasizes the process more than the end goal, right?" Dongfang Jing asked with a curious light in her beautiful eyes, her questions now filled with fascination and wonder, much different to the questions she usually throws when the other geniuses are discussing previously, ones that more like it is intended to guide the conversation rather than anything else.
However, now, she is really into this discussion with the immortal-like young man, feeling like she saw a rival in him, a companion that might help her temper herself even more in the comprehension not only of this Dao but also all other sorts of things, her eyes reflecting the excitement that she is clearly feeling right now, her pupils, along with her entire eyes looking wider than it usually is.
Hearing the young lady's question, Su Xiaotian's interest grows even larger as the smile appears on his face once again, praising at this beauty's capacity to accept change once again, as well as her clear desire to learn things that she encountered for the first time, something in him telling him that he should definitely grace this beauty a chance to learn.
'She's quite cheeky at first but whatever, she doesn't look like she's really all that bad' the immortal-like young man thought to himself as he recalls how annoyed he was at her previous way of acting towards him, his prolonged silence causing the beauty to panic as she thinks that the young man in front of her his bearing some grudge on how she treats him previously.
"I-if I offend you on some way or another previously, p-please accept my apology, just don't leave my question hanging please??" Dongfang Jing asked as she takes out the Trinity Cleansing Fruit, handing it towards Su Xiaotian with her two hands carefully holding the fruit, her current actions causing not only the immortal-like young man, but also her aunt sitting right beside her to let out a fit of entertained laughter.

"Lady Jing, while I do thought that how you lure me into this little Dao discussion of yours is quite the nasty method, now that I look at you and got a gist of how that mind of yours work, I just couldn't help but shrug that little feeling of annoyance in exchange for more interesting things…" Su Xiaotian said with the same smile on his face as he pours himself a cup of tea, the strand of Primordial Nihility Transcendent Qi that is still floating near him now being absorbed back into his own body.
"T-then…" hearing his words, the young beauty couldn't help but feel excited once again, anticipating how this immortal-like young man who seems way too mysterious to her own discerning eyes will answer her question.
"While I would love to entertain your questions young lady, I am someone who swore to never do any charity work for stranger again…" Su Xiaotian said with a sort of judging look on his face as he replies, his reply also causing a look of disappointment to appear not only on the young beauty's but also on her aunt's face.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"…Oh, no no, you two are not the strangers I was talking about, them…" seeing the expression on these nearly identical ladies' faces, Su Xiaotian notices that there's something wrong with his wordings, causing him to clarify himself as he points towards the geniuses from the other forces now starting to wake up from their enlightenment.
"How can we meet you then, young man?" looking at this immortal-like young man who seems to be on a completely different playing field not only compared to the geniuses of this world, but also to the geniuses of her world, the guardian of the young beauty asked out of pure curiosity, not expecting the answer coming out of the young man's mouth.
"We will meet again upon the vast universe, Lady Xiang, Miss Jing…" Su Xiaotian replied, clearly hinting at now the two of them are not locals of the Sky Soul Star, something that they thought they conceal pretty well given how the only one that they thought know their identity as outsiders being the men of one of the celestials of this world, Hua Jingxian.
"Although, if you want to hear me discuss more on the so-called Dao, then I recommend the two of you to somehow find a way to participate in the Dao Seeking Mountain's Dao Enlightenment Competition, I will be there… and as a last thing, you can keep the Trinity Cleansing Fruit, Miss Jing, the conversation with you is really more rewarding than you expect" Su Xiaotian said as his last words to this two ladies for now, said ladies becoming really confused of his last words but not for long as they start thinking about how they should enter their next destination in these planet, the Dao Seeking Mountain.
