Number One Under Heaven

Chapter 77 - Xuan Cheung

"..." The Pill Master geniuses all stood there with their head down trying to figure out the true meaning behind that question.

'Such a simple, yet profound question... As expected from someone so powerful.'

'Is the truth behind his words? But what meaning do these three words have???'

'I have never had such a hard time answering a question!'

'Damn, this is not some ancient riddle, yet why can't I answer it?!?'

None of them were able to make up their mind!

'Who's going to answer first?' They began looking around to see everybody there doing the same thing.

Guang Zhou the 18-Year-Old Genius was opening and closing his mouth seeming like he cannot make a decision, 'Who am I? Does he mean what I want to be if he accepts me? Ah! That's it! He wants to know what kind of person I want to be! But wait! What if I'm wrong?! I can't risk it, it's too risky--- No! If one of them answers before me and it happened to be the same answer as mine, what will I do if he was right?! I'll have to live my life regretting such a choice! Then I must go and--- No! What if I was really wrong?! I'll have to live my life regretting that choice too! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Answering and not answering are both as risky! I must wait---- Aaaahhhh! Fuck it!'

"I have my answer!" He suddenly shouted, scaring the hell out of the others who were too focused on thinking.

Tian Yi looked at him and said, "Oh? Then let me hear it."

"With Sir as my Master, I will inevitably become the World's next best Pill Master! So that is who I want to become! " He said with confidence.

"..." The place turned silent again.

'He said ittttt!!!!!' The others cried out in their head. All of them had already thought of that, but their guts had told them not to say it!

They nervously waited for Tian Yi's reply.

"....." But a response did not come.

"...?" Guang Zhou was confused. Was that it? Did he answer correctly? Or did was he wrong?

"Sir, did I answer correctly?" He had to ask that question no matter what.

"Hm? Oh, I'll let you all know once I hear everyone's answer," He said.

'What?!?!?!?!?' They all cried inside their heart.

'Are you trying to kill us with stress?!?' Invisible tears poured out of their eyes.

"..."

"..."

The place had turned dead silent once again.

'Damn, that did not help out at all! How are we supposed to know who was right and wrong--- Ah!' One of them suddenly realized something.

"Sir, I have a question," He said.

"What is it?"

"What if more than one person answered correctly?"

'!!!' The rest of them became enlightened.

"Then I will just choose one of you," Tian Yi said calmly.

"!!!" An enlightened occurred once again.

'This means that whoever gives the most profound answer will become his Disciple!' They thought.
