COSMIC SERENDIPITY

Chapter- 29 (INTERLUDE 3.0)

As soon as the three new members opened their eyes, they were startled to see so many prominent faces all at once.

Sect Leader Yao squeaked in fear as soon as he registered Wen Ruohan's face and bowed down extremely low, while also pulling sect leader Ouyang's scruff down along with himself, 'This lowly one greets Wen-zongzhu.'

Ruohan chuckled at their apparent nervousness and just nodded without saying much. The two men immediately scampered off to the newly placed couch and looked around in confusion. Luo QingYang had by then bowed to everyone as they all belonged to the gentry and were on a higher stature than her and went ahead to sit on the couch beside Jin ZiXuan, that she shared with Wen Qing.

The two newly arrived men didn't dare ask a question. But QingYang wasn't deterred from it and asked JiXuan, 'Umm... may I ask what this place is as it seems that you all are quite familiar to it?'

'Ummm....,' ZiXuan didn't know how exactly to make her understand this unique place. So he looked at the Juniors, the ones who actually had a better understanding than most.

'Luo-guniang, greetings to you. I am Ouyang ZiZhen, heir apparent of Ouyang sect (his father squeaked in indignance as he had no idea who this guy was and why he was suddenly claiming to be an heir to his sect, when he had no one else apart from his head disciple and younger brother in line. Though minor, his sect still belonged to him, not some unknown kid like this. But before he could raise his objections, he was flabbergasted at what the kid said) twenty years from now.' ZiZhen said all that with a very gentle expression opposite to the expressions that appeared on the faces of the two sect leaders and the lady.

'Did I hear it right when I interpreted that you came from the future?' Luo QingYang asked with slight disbelief shining in her eyes, as was found in multitudes in the two sect leaders' faces.

'Exactly. What kind of nonsense are you spouting about? How can you be the heir of the Ouyang sect when my friend here is still the sect leader and has a sibling in line for it? Who the heck are you even? For Heaven's sake, my friend here isn't even married yet to have a kid now. So, how dare you make such a bold claim on the seat of BalingOuyang?' Yao-zongzhu asked, pompously making a very apparent dirty face.

ZiZhen sighed as he remembered just how irritating this man in the future was. He really wasn’t fond of calling him shushu even though he was his father's best friend. To be honest, he never understood what his father saw in this pompous git to remain such fast friends for such a long time.

He took a deep breath and replied, 'With all due respect, Yao Zongzhu, he might not be married yet. But that doesn't mean he won't in the near future or he won't have kids. To be honest, were you even listening to what I said? I am from the future as are my three friends here. Look at the people around you. Do you think they are idiots to sit down calmly while I make such bold claims? At least think before you open your mouth. You still are the same as your future self...'

'Why were you expecting something different from this fool?' JingYi muttered from beside him, making it difficult for ZiZhen to hold his laugh.

'Well, it was worth trying. Anyways, what I was trying to tell you is that we are actually from the future where your present world was in literal chaos up until three years ago. To be honest, half of the people sitting in this room right now are already dead in our future. That's a bummer considering just how long the life span of a cultivator is. So, right now, we are here trying to save your asses from your own pathetic decisions in very crude words. We have already watched a considerable amount of it already. This time bubble has brought you out of the time scope. So, ultimately, it has no effects on your age or anything. Plus, it has stopped time in your world. So when all this finishes, you'll all go back to the same point from where you were taken.' ZiZhen finished with a sigh.
