Then, Ning Xuemo finally saw the Ancestor’s ostentatiousness.
The children in front scattered snow-white flower blankets with random waves of their hands, causing the road to seem as if a layer of clouds settled on top of it. Once the Ancestor’s sedan passed by, the children behind the procession picked them back up…
Their steps were light, making it look like they were truly walking on clouds. It was splendid and magnificent, as if they were looking at the scene of the Sun God patrolling high into the sky.
Ning Xuemo felt admiration from the bottom of her heart. When comparing the Old Freak of Xingxiu, Ding Chunqiu[3], who made his disciples yell out something like “A peerless talent, unifying Jianghu”[4] every time he left the sect, to the Ancestor, that Old Freak’s prestige was really too weak! ‘Now this is what we called the peak of the Dao of showing off!’
‘A glimpse of nobility in acting low-profile.’
‘He truly deserved having lived nearly 2,000 years of being worshipped. This aura of grandeur seemed completely natural! Even if you didn’t want to, you couldn’t help but admire him!’
