Daoist Peng snorted, slapped the table, and said, "When Brother Qi rescued him from the Demon Cave back then, I also met him once. At that time, he was just an Xuan Guang Disciple, barely worth noticing, but who would have thought that over two hundred years later, he would have such fortune."
The Old Daoist glanced at him, raised his wine glass, and said with a smile, "The Heavenly Mechanism is unpredictable, and it is destined by fate, why should Daoist Brother Peng worry? If you had gone to the swordfight with Master Qi back then, you might have taken this position long ago."
Daoist Peng's heart twisted; this was one of his life's greatest regrets.
He was a member of the Peng Clan and the Chen Clan's son-in-law, of the same generation as Qi Yuntian, and was once one of the Top Ten Disciples. When the Mingcang Sect was embroiled in internal strife, he happened to be visiting friends outside, thus luckily escaping the disaster.
