Chapter 207 Chapter 207: Grandpa is gone?
Under normal circumstances, the encounter a hundred years later would have been very exciting, especially the expression of this little guy Wang Chen.
The white-haired Wang Chen looked at Zhongli and Paimeng who had not changed at all, with a wry smile on his face.
His eyes were full of confusion and confusion.
A hundred years ago, Master Zhongli and Paimon looked like this. A hundred years later, Master Zhongli and Paimon still looked like this...
There was no change from the memory of them, as if time was taking care of everyone but these two.
Thinking of this, Paimon turned his head slightly and looked at Zhongli.
Maybe this is the reason why Zhongli often changed his identity and walked in Liyue when he was on the Teyvat continent?
The price of immortality, or eternal life, begins from the moment one has memory.
Zhongli has lived for so many years, how many life and death have he witnessed?
Even he himself has experienced such a thing.
"Maybe this is the reason why he didn't want to form bonds with others when he first came here?"
Paimon was rarely smart, and although she was filled with doubts, she did not ask directly.
"In other words, Zhongli is a demon god. He can achieve almost eternal life without wearing out his body."
"Then what kind of existence am I?"
From the beginning of her memory, she only knew that she was the best tour guide in Teyvat. Where she came from and where she went to were questions she had never thought about.
After so many years, she is still her, still the same Paimon.
"I should be an immortal species, right?"
"Otherwise, what Wang Chen would see would be white hair... Huh? I already have white hair..."
Paimon thought about this and fell into deep thought again.
Zhong Li and Wang Chen didn't know what Paimeng would be thinking about. Even if they knew she was thinking, it would most likely be food, right?
"Lord Zhongli."
Wang Chen looked at Zhongli with a fiery light in his eyes.
Without this gentleman, Wang Chen would not have achieved what he has today.
Without this gentleman, their village might have been destroyed by wolf thieves long ago.
Such a terrifying beast is simply not something ordinary people can resist.
"oh?"
Seeing that Wang Chen's mouth was slightly open and he was hesitant to speak, Zhongli put down the tea cup in his hand and said calmly: "My dear Wang Chen, it's okay to say it."
More than two years have not made Wang Chen forget his original intention, nor has it worn down his mind. Instead, it has made him more determined and faintly like a strong man.
Zhongli was very pleased with this, and it once again proved that his vision was very authentic.
After hearing this, Wang Chen stood up from his chair and prepared to kneel down to Zhong Li as his way of expressing gratitude.
But his knees seemed to be pulled by a strong force and could not be bent.
"Little friend Wang Chen, there is no need to be so polite."
Zhongli waved his hand, and Wang Chen sat back down again.
"Lord Zhongli..."
Wang Chen looked at Zhong Li doubtfully, feeling a little confused.
He didn't understand why Zhongli wouldn't let him express his gratitude in this way.
As a civilian who has not received much education, his gratitude is the purest and simplest.
At the same time, he also understood one thing, that is, this adult is terrifyingly powerful!
Even with his current strength, he still has no power to resist when facing Master Zhongli.
All I can say is that he is indeed Lord Zhongli!
Seeing this, Zhong Li waved his hand and said, "My friend, what you have achieved today is due to your own belief and persistence. The Eye of God is just the icing on the cake." "Speaking of which, the Eye of God is just the icing on the cake. For one thing, I have already accepted your gratitude before, and there is no need to do it again.”
After hearing this, Wang Chen was slightly stunned. Although Zhong Li's words were very reasonable, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
Faith and perseverance?
The icing on the cake?
If there is no eye of God, what is the use of strong faith and persistence?
Lord Zhongli just doesn’t want to take credit and be arrogant, and he doesn’t want to use the Eye of God as an excuse to make him, Wang Chen, like his subordinates...
Thinking of this, Wang Chen couldn't help but feel a little more grateful to Zhong Li, and he, who was already very fanatical, became even more fanatical.
"I understand, thank you Lord Zhongli."
Wang Chen cupped his hands and said solemnly.
Paimeng looked at Wang Chen and then at Zhong Li, his little head shaking like a rattle.
She was a little confused and didn't understand what riddle the two were playing.
Suddenly, Paimon seemed to have thought of something, and subconsciously said to Wang Chen: "Xiao Wang Chen, your village is relatively far from Tiandou City, right?"
"When you come to Tiandou City, then your grandpa..."
Wang Chen's grandfather, Wang Mazi, is old and his actions remain unchanged. This is what Zhongli and Paimeng saw with their own eyes more than two years ago.
He only has one grandson, Wang Chen. After Wang Chen leaves, how will Wang Mazi live?
After hearing this, Wang Chen's face changed, and a feeling of sadness arose spontaneously. He lowered his head, his lips trembled slightly, and he stopped talking.
Seeing this, Zhongli had an answer in his mind.
When he first met Wang Mazi, he knew that this old man's time was short and he was afraid that he wouldn't live long.
Birth, old age, illness and death are all different aspects of life. When he is approaching his longevity, it is not a blessing for him to be able to see his descendants "progress"?
"My grandfather passed away a year and a half ago."
After a long while, Wang Chen finally spoke.
Wang Mazi was his only blood relative. After his death, he had no relatives in the entire Douluo Continent.
This also made him determined to start looking for Zhongli.
Before embarking on this road, Wang Chen had no idea where to look for Zhongli.
He has crossed countless mountains and rivers, and passed through countless woods. Of course, there are almost no spirit beasts in these woods, they are just ordinary woods.
He has been to the Star Dou Forest, because the Star Dou Forest is not very far away from his home, only a few dozen miles away.
The first time he entered the Star Dou Forest, he had a narrow escape because he didn't understand soul beasts at all.
"Oh~ passed away?"
Paimon's eyes widened. She didn't expect that the kind old grandfather had actually passed away.
After thinking for a while, Paimeng flew to Wang Chen's side, patted his shoulder, and said: "Little Wang Chen, don't be sad, my kind-hearted grandpa will definitely be proud of you!"
"Well, grandpa left with a smile."
Wang Chen said bluntly that his grandfather Wang Mazi did leave with a smile.
His ancestors were all common people, but this generation has changed their destiny. How could he not laugh?
When he arrived in another world, he had the dignity to tell his ancestors: A real dragon appeared in his family!
"Xiao Wangchen, what do you plan to do in the future?"
"I have no idea."
Wang Chen's previous goal was to find Zhongli and then do his best to help Zhongli.
Unfortunately, his idea was still too naive.
