The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 322

Chapter 322: 175 God-level Green Tea (First Update)_2

The old priest actually understood his meaning. When a person is younger, there is more time remaining. His life’s learnings couldn’t be drilled down in ten or twenty years.

“Come in.” the old priest called out to the entrance.

Xiao Liulang walked in.

The old priest’s gaze fell on Xiao Liulang’s face, and he instantly froze.

Xiao Liulang had attended the old priest’s classes when he was a child. The old priest certainly recognized him.

But the next sentence from the old priest almost choked him, “Am I dead? Why are you dead too? It’s over, there’s no one to inherit my place!”

Xiao Liulang: “…”

The old priest: “…”

It took a lot of effort from the old priest to convince the old man that the young man before him is not dead.

As for why he doesn’t die, the old priest didn’t say, the old man did not ask.

To live to this age, knowing fate, some things are clear in the heart but can’t be scrutinized.

This was true for the old man, as well as for the old priest.

The old priest asked, “Are you satisfied with this successor?”

“Satisfied, satisfied.” The old man laughed with joy.

He also liked this child back then. It’s just that the old priest had the upper hand by proximity, or else he would have taken him as his own disciple long ago.

His greatest regret in life was probably that he could not get a disciple who was fully satisfactory.

Now it’s fulfilled.

Due to the rush of events, everything was simplified. Under the leadership of the old priest, Xiao Liulang performed a simple ceremony of acknowledgement.

The old man was paralyzed from the neck downwards and had difficulty eating. The old priest symbolically let him touch the rim of the cup, as though drinking a ceremonial tea.

From then on, Xiao Liulang is his successor.

The old man ordered his wife to bring his lifetime collection of literature and move them all onto the old priest’s cart.

The old priest looked at the empty study, feeling a bit awkward, “Eh… Sister-in-law, don’t you want to keep some for yourselves?”

However, the old man’s wife waved her hand, “Just take them away. Please, I beg you, I’ve been burdened by these damned things all my life, don’t bother me anymore!”

The old priest complied, “Fine, I will come to visit you another time sister.”

Xiao Liulang also respectfully bowed to the old man’s wife.

That night, the old man left.

Perhaps because he had fulfilled his wishes, he passed away peacefully.

This event was a great shock to the old priest, he suddenly realized that he too was halfway into the grave.
