Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands - Chapter 593: A Genius Proficient in the Dao of Caution

Chapter 593: A Genius Proficient in the Dao of Caution

On the left side of the long table sat a thin, elderly man.

His hair was white, and his face was full of wrinkles.

Triangular eyes and a hooked nose gave him a sinister appearance.

He wore an ornate long robe that swayed with the wind, producing a low rustling sound.

With just one glance, Shen Mo could tell that this man’s remaining lifespan was short.

At most fifty more years—he would inevitably die of old age.

On the right side of the long table sat a plump woman.

Her hair was styled in a high bun, her complexion pale, and her lips thin.

She carried a sharp, mean-spirited air.

When Shen Mo and Shi Tianhao entered the main hall, she was brazenly sizing them up.

It left an unpleasant impression.

Song Zhenfei quickly stood and said, “Hahaha, I didn’t expect it to be Brother Shi. If I hadn’t been tied up, I should’ve gone to welcome you myself.”

“You’ve come at just the right time—Manager Xing and Island Master Liu are here. Perfect chance to introduce you all.”

He turned to the elderly man and woman. “This young fellow is named Shi Tianhao, one of the minor island masters of our Hidden Dragon Island.”

“You should know the island he oversees—Qiulong Island. He earned that position through solid merit.”

“I’m on good terms with Brother Shi. Just over a hundred years old, and already Half-Nirvana Realm—his future is bright.”

Hearing this, Xing Zhong and Liu Yuncui gave Shi Tianhao a more serious look.

“So you’re Shi Tianhao. I’ve heard of you,” Xing Zhong said warmly. “Several major island masters say you’re a one-in-a-million genius.”

Shi Tianhao quickly cupped his hands. “Senior Xing flatters me. I’ve simply had a bit of good luck and a few fortuitous encounters.”

Liu Yuncui licked her lips. “Little Brother Shi, interested in visiting my Mingzhu Island sometime?”

Shi Tianhao laughed. “Thank you for your kindness, Sister Liu, but I’m quite busy with cultivation matters at the moment and may not get the chance.”

“However, I’ve heard that your Overturning Clouds Technique is impressive. If I have the opportunity, I’ll certainly visit Mingzhu Island. I hope Sister Liu will then grant me a friendly spar.”

Liu Yuncui chuckled lightly. “You really know how to speak.”

With just a few words, Shi Tianhao was chatting comfortably with the three of them.

He didn’t create the slightest awkwardness or offense.

He clearly understood the art of social interaction.

Even Shen Mo couldn’t help but nod.

Acting humbly, building connections, knowing when to stop, always smiling—this is a true genius of the Dao of Caution.

Compared to Shi Tianhao, geniuses like Xiao Fan, Ye Yan, and Lin Dongtian all seemed lacking.

Only then did Song Zhenfei notice Shen Mo and ask, “Oh? And who is this beside Brother Shi?”

Shi Tianhao had already prepared an answer and said, “Seniors, this fellow cultivator beside me is named Shen Mo. Earlier, while I was searching for heavenly materials and earthly treasures outside, I was shamelessly ambushed by a few rogue cultivators.”

“Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Shen happened to pass by and came to my aid. Otherwise, I might have perished in the vast ocean.”

“Fellow Daoist Shen intends to join our Hidden Dragon Island, so I brought him to Liuyun Island. I hope Brother Song can help recommend him.”

Song Zhenfei burst into laughter. “Brother Shi really is lucky—wherever you go, someone lends a hand.”

He turned to Shen Mo. “If you were able to save Brother Shi’s life, your strength must be considerable. Likely also Half-Nirvana Realm, yes?”

“How about this—within thirty thousand li of Liuyun Island, any unclaimed island you like, pick one!”

“Once you’ve chosen, I’ll report it personally to the main island master. As soon as your minor island master token arrives, you’ll be officially appointed!”
