The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard-Chapter 2383

Am I the person in that divination?

Carson Flores suddenly recalled the phrase ’This child is fated with our Dragon Mountain,’ and then thought of how Floating Cloud’s divination changed the fate of the Dragon Cloud Mountain Sect Master’s demise, and many things suddenly became clear.

"Senior, what is the situation with that divination?"

Floating Cloud’s expression was serious: "In my divination, the Dragon Mountain Sect will face a life-and-death crisis, and there is a person who may change this crisis, or rather, save the Dragon Mountain Sect from it."

Carson widened his eyes, looking at Floating Cloud in disbelief.

Floating Cloud remained silent, quietly watching Carson, his gaze certain.

After several seconds of eye contact, Carson couldn’t help but point to his nose with his finger: "That person... is me?"

Floating Cloud nodded: "Yes, it’s you."

Carson smiled wryly: "Senior, could there be some misunderstanding here? My abilities are common in Dragon Mountain Sect, I have no special talents. If the Dragon Mountain Sect encounters a life-and-death crisis they can’t solve, what can I do to resolve it?"

Floating Cloud shook his head: "I don’t know."

Carson was stunned: "Don’t know?"

Floating Cloud nodded: "I don’t know if the disaster I divined will come, nor am I certain that if it does, you will be able to resolve it. I too had doubts, but then I encountered you at the Immortal Conference."

"The way you were described in the divination was vague and obscure. The general meaning was that, as a mortal, you could possess powers comparable to deities. As you said, your talent is average, yet you have a Sword Bone, with swordsmanship talent not inferior to a Sword Spirit Body. You are not an Innate Taoist Body, yet you possess a Phenomenon Seed. You have not yet entered the Great Land, but you already possess the Doppelganger Divine Ability..."

"I was initially confused by the description in the divination, but the moment I saw you, I believed that you are probably the person in the divination. You refused to become an apprentice, but then you saved the Three Sects Disciple at sea and consequently saved many in the delegation, making me even more certain you are the person I was searching for."

"You say you are lazy by nature, do not like to bear others’ expectations or take on too much responsibility, but I see that you take great care of and protect your family. You are even willing to help unrelated people enthusiastically; you just internalize your emotions more and prefer doing over speaking."

"To date, only I am aware of this situation because the divination shows that the disaster is not now, but in the future. I cannot determine how far off it is, or convince others of it. Moreover, I think that if I take you as a disciple and you join the Dragon Mountain Sect, perhaps this calamity can be averted."

"Divination is vague and can only offer a general hint without providing extremely precise descriptions. You just spoke sincerely to me, so I don’t want to deceive you either. You are free to refuse because I am not even sure that your joining Dragon Mountain Sect is the correct way to resolve this calamity."

Carson breathed out a sigh, finally understanding the ins and outs of the situation. Indeed, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world!

Floating Cloud wants to take him as a disciple because he fits the description of the calamity-resolving person in the divination.

Carson didn’t feel any disappointment, after all, he has always been very self-aware.

To a top-tier expert like Floating Cloud, who hasn’t seen all kinds of talents? His level might spark some interest, but it’s basically impossible for Floating Cloud to actively ask him to become a disciple upon first meeting.

He had only touched the tail of fate, seeing himself in the hazy future!

With Floating Cloud’s explanation, Carson felt less resistance in his heart, and after some thought, he said: "Senior, you just mentioned that you think it’s probably me, so what if after I become an apprentice you find out I’m not the one you’re looking for?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Floating Cloud smiled: "Whether you are that person or not, as long as you are my disciple, I will naturally fulfill my responsibility as a teacher. Besides, even if you aren’t that person, everything about you intrigues me. I want to see how far a different kind of cultivator like you can go."

Carson nodded: "If one day Dragon Mountain Sect really faces a great calamity, and I’ve already done my utmost to help but still can’t resolve the problem, no, if it requires me to sacrifice my life to solve it, then senior, how would you wish me to choose?"

Floating Cloud replied without hesitation: "All things have destiny, just do your best. You are under no obligation to sacrifice your life for anyone. By becoming my disciple, even if Dragon Mountain faces a great calamity, as long as you can escape, Dragon Mountain will still exist!"

Carson looked into Floating Cloud’s eyes as Floating Cloud extended his hand, with a solemn expression: "Everything I just said comes from my heart. If there is any falsehood or deceit in my words, may I suffer the wrath of Heavenly Thunder and be reduced to ashes!"

Carson did not stop him because he knew well that Floating Cloud’s actions weren’t solely to take him as a disciple but more for the future of the Dragon Mountain Sect.

Carson kneeled down decisively: "Carson pays respects to my master!"
