Wang Ye looked at Shi Qian, who was continuously flattering him, with a slight daze.

Not because Shi Qian was flattering him.

But Wang Ye always had a feeling that Shi Qian seemed very familiar.

As if he'd seen him somewhere before.

Generally speaking, if someone used such exaggerated language to flatter Wang Ye, Wang Ye would probably have felt annoyed long ago.

Hypocritical.

Pretentious!

But when Shi Qian spoke those words to Wang Ye, Wang Ye felt quite pleased.

"Then I'll take my leave first, the Saint Heir is here for a discussion."

After boasting for a while, Shi Qian didn't stay.

Instead, he greeted everyone and then directly left.

Watching Shi Qian leave, Wang Ye felt somewhat thoughtful, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He realized why he felt familiar when looking at Shi Qian.

That sense of familiarity felt like Shi Qian was very similar to his master from hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Shi Heng.

"Shi Qian… Shi Heng…"

Wang Ye murmured twice, his gaze suddenly shifting back to Shi Qian.

Just now, Wang Ye had actually withdrawn his gaze, but now he looked at Shi Qian again.

And Shi Qian was still walking from another place.

Wang Ye's mind was complicated.

Is it a coincidence?

Wang Ye felt it wasn't.

Shi Heng also had the surname Shi, Shi Qian too. And Shi Qian, upon meeting Wang Ye, was so enthusiastic, almost praising him to the heavens, creating that feeling Shi Heng also gave him.

Shi Heng did not boast.

Didn't flatter him.

Facing others, Wang Ye didn't know, but during his hundreds of thousands of years of interactions with him, he definitely never boasted.

Nor would he cling to him.

Even back then, when facing anyone, Shi Heng probably wouldn't.

But.

Wang Ye just felt that Shi Qian definitely had some connection with Shi Heng.

"What on earth is going on?"

"Is Shi Heng his descendant?"

During this time, Wang Ye had already thought carefully about it and even researched the history of Spirit Star. He discovered that many things he encountered in the Ice Soul Valley World indeed existed in history.

Including Shi Heng!

Shi Heng, now a top-level strongman!

When Wang Ye saw this, he couldn't help but gasp, a top-level strongman in this world!

And most crucially, still alive to this day!

However, Wang Ye felt that Ice Soul Valley had only sent him to a virtual world, not truly the past.

Otherwise, knowing that someone would surpass himself, and upon gaining another disciple, wouldn't Shi Heng directly come for him?

Of course, being alive is just a judgment, to a certain extent.

Ten thousand years ago, many strongmen disappeared, all top-level strongmen, but no news about their demise ever appeared.

Among these top-level strongmen, there was Shi Heng.

Some speculate that these top-level strongmen disappeared because Wang Ye killed them while dealing with external enemies.

To prevent these unyielding top-level strongmen from causing chaos within Spirit Star after Wang Ye's departure.

Yet, if top-level strongmen were to fall, it would surely cause catastrophic changes, but no such changes were observed.

Others speculate that these top-level strongmen went to other places to hide, avoiding staying within Spirit Star.

After all, once reaching those top-level strongmen's realms, further cultivation would require more than just Spirit Star; they can go anywhere.

Wang Ye wouldn't really consider Shi Qian to be Shi Heng.

It's possible for his master to create a clone to stay near him for protection.

But, transforming into a sycophant by his side, for what reason?

Did his master Shi Heng actually die?

Granted, if top-level strongmen were to die, cosmic changes would surely occur, but Wang Ye could not believe that reaching such a realm wouldn't involve methods to prevent these changes.

Back then, even when cosmic changes ought to occur, blocked, when they shouldn't appear, they didn't appear?

At this moment, Wang Ye was somewhat dazed.

Whether those top-level strongmen actually died, although there was speculation, merely concluded with a minimal assessment and no deeper investigation.

After all, it wasn't directly related to them.

Wang Ye felt differently.

When traveling back, Wang Ye was still Shi Heng's disciple.

For a moment, Wang Ye was caught in a dilemma.

Meng Qian glanced at Wang Ye, other elders were also curious, wondering why Wang Ye, after initially preparing to rest well for the next few days, suddenly appeared here.

However.

They observed Wang Ye's dazed expression as he watched Shi Qian's leaving back, pondering deeply.

All the elders: "!!!"

An ominous premonition gradually emerged within these elders' hearts.

When Wang Ye looked at Lin Shuang, he never gazed like this.

But now.

He was staring at Shi Qian's departing back with a somewhat dazed feeling.

Could it be… Wang Ye's attraction wasn't towards women but men?

If that's the case…

A few elders communicated via glances.

Lin Shuang remained unaware, but upon finding out, wouldn't it be a devastating blow for Lin Shuang?

After exchanging glances, several elders uniformly directed their gaze to Meng Qian, signaling him to inquire.

First, determine the problem.

Then think of ways to solve it.

"Wang Ye."

Meng Qian gently coughed, bringing Wang Ye back from his previous state, and somewhat hesitantly said:

"Actually, my suggestion is, even if you're fond of someone, love at first sight… might not be ideal, at least you need to understand them thoroughly first."

Love at first sight?

Wang Ye was slightly stunned.

What the heck?

Since arriving at Spirit Star, he hadn't liked anyone; how was he linked to the phrase "love at first sight"?

Upon realizing the other elders were subtly observing him, while glancing outside frequently, Wang Ye instantly understood who Meng Qian's "love at first sight" referred to.

Instantly, a black line appeared on Wang Ye's forehead.

He's talking about Shi Qian!

"Elder Meng… you… you…"

Wang Ye was so furious his voice was trembling slightly.
