"Let's see…" Lin Mu muttered before turning to the Grand Elder. "I saw that High Elder Yannan had a short temper. Was he always like this?"
"Yeah, but after he fell out of the competition for the position of Patriarch, it got worse," the Grand Elder replied.
"And that was when he found his cultivation technique?" Lin Mu guessed.
"Yes!" The Grand Elder suddenly realized where Lin Mu was leading.
"And how long ago was that?" Lin Mu asked next.
"It's been a long time… about four thousand years, I suppose?" the Grand Elder estimated.
GASP!
The people around them were shocked.
"How did he last that long?" Daoist Chu couldn't help but wonder.
"The Surging Pestilence Water Art probably helped him. It controlled the energy and prevented it from corrupting him too much," Lin Mu reasoned. "Combined with his alreayd bad temper, it probbaly went unnoticed all this time." He added.
