C8 – How Did He Spit It Out?
As soon as Liu Xingchang departed, the Dai Family’s hall was abuzz with excitement.
The dignitaries who had come to present their gifts had achieved their objective: to witness a spectacle centered on Liu Xingchang.
Undoubtedly, Liu Xingchang’s display provided a sensational visual and psychological impact for all.
Everyone was compelled to reassess both Liu Xingchang and the Liu Family.
“Who would dare call Liu Xingchang an ineffectual Patriarch from now on?”
“After remaining unassuming for so many years, Liu Xingchang has just begun to show his prowess and is already on par with the Royal Capital’s Eight Young Masters.”
“The Eight Young Masters? He might even rival the foremost among them, the esteemed Young Master Prime Minister Jade!”
“Although the Liu Family, bolstered by Liu Xingchang, is still some way off from the Royal Capital’s major powers like the Mysterious Immortal Sect and the Prime Minister’s Mansion, they can now hold their own against the likes of the Dai Family.”
“The once downtrodden Liu Family can now stand tall with pride!”
“With the loss of two elders, the Dai Family is essentially finished. It remains to be seen if Tian Daigan, the Dai Family’s eldest son, can salvage the situation. Regardless, he is one of the Royal Capital’s Eight Young Masters.”
“With the new year approaching, Tian Daigan of the Dai Family should be descending from the Immortal Mountain Prefecture soon, shouldn’t he?”
Princess Qingyuan had risen to take her leave.
With the drama concluded, there was no longer any reason for the audience to linger.
Departing with a look of astonishment and a heart roiling like stormy seas, Princess Qingyuan vividly recalled her encounter with Liu Xingchang at the Phoenix Restaurant, where he was merely a third-grade cultivator. How had he suddenly ascended to a Seventh Grade Cultivator?
Was it possible that he had been concealing his true power all along?
Moreover, the idea that a Seventh Grade Cultivator could incapacitate two cultivators of the first level of the Spirit Mastery Realm was utterly astounding.
Princess Qingyuan, despite her vast experience and knowledge, had never witnessed such an extraordinary capacity for transcending realms in combat.
Her interest in Liu Xingchang deepened, her curiosity piqued. She saw him as an enigmatic abyss, one that seemed unfathomable no matter how much she tried to uncover his true nature.
Princess Qingyuan resolved to personally meet Liu Xingchang if the opportunity arose.
After consoling Lord Dai for a time, the Third Prince departed with the Qing siblings.
Along the way, Qingyi’s face remained a mix of shock and joy as she exclaimed, “That scoundrel Liu Xingchang, he’s become so powerful and didn’t even bother to tell me! And to think I went out of my way to bring my brother to help him today!”
Liu Xingchang managed a wry smile and gently patted Liu Xinchang’s back, joking, “If you keep pressing down on me like this, I might indeed end up with a few more injuries.”
“Ah!”
Liu Xinchang immediately sat up, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. “I’m not that heavy...”
Liu Xingchang playfully rolled his eyes and said, “Carrying you from the Dai Family, I hadn’t even made it home before I passed out. So, tell me, aren’t you heavy?”
At his words, Liu Shuile burst into hearty laughter, and even Liu Yichang couldn’t help but chuckle.
Liu Xingchang knew Liu Xingchang was teasing, so she stamped her foot and turned away, saying with a blush, “I’m not talking to you anymore!”
Liu Shuile chuckled and then sat down on the edge of the bed. “Xingchang, the incident at the Dai Family is now the talk of the entire Royal Capital. The Great Elder and I are fully aware of what happened. Last night, the Great Elder wept in front of your grandfather’s spirit tablet for hours... Do you realize how much your growth means to us? Your father and grandfather, watching from the heavens, would be so proud of you!”
Liu Xingchang sighed, “The Great Elder was merely a friend of my grandfather, yet he has given so much to the Liu Family over the years. We owe him a great debt. From now on, we must do our best to repay the Great Elder.”
Liu Shuile nodded, “That’s a given.”
Liu Xingchang coughed twice, then threw back the covers, ready to leave the bed.
“What are you doing?” Liu Shuile asked, concerned.
“I need to get up,” Liu Xingchang replied.
Liu Shuile frowned. “You’re still very weak. The Great Elder insisted you need a few days’ rest.”
Liu Xingchang shook his head. “There’s no time. The deadline for the Mysterious Immortal Sect is in six days, and I must improve my strength before then. To do that, I need resources, which is why I must visit the Great Black Mountain Range outside the city to see Uncle Xu.”
Uncle Xu, known as Xun Tong, was once the foremost general under Liu Jitai and held the rank of great commander.
After the passing of Liu Jitai, Xun Tong decisively relinquished his role as the Great Commander and led a group of loyal brothers to join the Liu Family, aiding in the defense of their three resource veins. Despite the Liu Family’s Spirit Stone and Heavenly Stone mines being nearly depleted by others, without the steadfast commitment and sacrifices of Xun Tong and his comrades, the mines would have been entirely lost years ago.
Liu Shuile offered, “What resources do you need? I can retrieve them for you. Wouldn’t it be better for you to rest and recuperate?”
Liu Xingchang shook his head, replying, “You must realize that the Liu Family originally had three veins, not merely half. What happened to the other two and a half? My visit to Uncle Xu isn’t just about gathering resources. Our old Liu Family’s possessions...”
A fierce glint suddenly sparked in Liu Xingchang’s eyes as he declared, “Whatever has been taken from us must be returned in full!”
