The Talented Doctor 30 Elder Meru

He Xi was taken aback at first. Before she could ask the gigantic egg clearly what it was, the silver light shot to her even faster and entered her body.

He Xi let go of the egg and staggered a few steps backward as the internal alarms in her body all started ringing at a rapid speed.

After some time, there was no more pain or discomfort in her body. She then saw a translucent figure appearing in front of her eyes slowly.

It was a sage-like elderly wearing a white robe, and his beard had already turned silver. On his face, there was a friendly and loving smile.

However, once He Xi saw him, her entire body tensed up; and her invisible needles were instinctively in between her fingers.

Even if this old man had a friendly and harmless look, his body was exuding coercion that she could not resist and even made her bend forward. His turbid gaze was filled with a limitless glare as if one could not see the bottom.

"Grandpa Meru!" The gigantic egg let out a happy gasp. This time, without touching the sh.e.l.l, the child's voice still rang at her ear—clearly because of the silver light. "Mother, Mother, look! This is Grandpa Meru that saved Baby."

However, He Xi was not as naive as the gigantic egg as she stared at the floating old man alertly. She slowly asked, "Are you a human or a ghost? What kind of place is this Meru Palace?" Fear was part of the unknown. Even if the s.p.a.ce had accompanied her for two lives—if she did not understand it clearly, she could never use it with ease.

Elder Meru did not reply. As if he was filled with shock, he stared straight at He Xi; happiness, shock, understanding, and hope flashed across his eyes.

When He Xi could not take the suppression from the gaze any longer and wanted to throw the invisible needles, Elder Meru finally spoke. "I have been waiting for you in this Meru s.p.a.ce for millions of years, and I thought that there was no more hope. I didn't expect… I didn't expect I actually managed to wait for you."

He looked at He Xi eagerly, and his gaze was as if He Xi was his precious treasure—last saving straw. "That's right! That's right! Souls emerging. I didn't expect the soul from another universe can actually complete the emerging of souls. Hahaha, our kind is saved!"

Once he said that, He Xi was shocked. The phrase 'soul from another universe' that Elder Meru said obviously showed that he had seen through her true ident.i.ty.

Looking at He Xi's alerted expression, Elder Meru calmed his emotions and said gently, "Good child, don't be afraid. Other than me, no one else can see through your true ident.i.ty. Especially when you finish breaking the seal, you will really merge with this body; and there will be no traces left."

He Xi knitted her brows and muttered, "Finish breaking the seal?"

For some reason, she thought of what the terrible intruder man said in the first instance. He said: "if you were trash, there would not be talent in the world." [TL note: Refers to the line in Chapter 27: Hehe, what a trash that can't cultivate. There truly are so many blind people in the world.]

Perhaps… was what the man said true? Was some ability in her body sealed?

He Xi was very focused on her thoughts and suddenly heard Elder Meru's hastened voice. "Good child. Now, listen to me carefully. I don't have much time."

"Don't have much time?" At this point, He Xi was very muddled and could only unwittingly repeat the strange phrase.
