Chapter 5 To Win With Virtue, Gifting The Sword Coffin

Meng Jiangchus coughed at the words. To win people over with virtue

Su Xuan turned to Meng Jiangchu and spoke softly, You should have already guessed my identity.

But I dont want anyone to know that you put in such a tremendous effort to decipher fate and waited here for me to arrive fifteen years in advance.

Now, whats your choice?

Meng Jiangchus heart skipped a beat; he hadnt expected the other party to have figured it out already!

Meng Jiangchu exhaled and smiled. I give up. After all, Wanshu is still here.

I quite like this Guanqi kid, so I wont take the risk.

But Id like to ask, what exactly is that thing?

Su Xuan gazed deeply at Meng Jiangchu and chuckled softly. How surprising, a distinguished hehe, youd actually leave behind offspring with a mortal, even if its just a clone.

Ill tell you, but you must leave this place in the next few days.

Then, the old mans voice suddenly appeared in Meng Jiangchus mind.

Meng Jiangchu frowned in puzzlement, sighed, and spoke softly with his hands behind his back. Alright, I wont make it hard on you. Well leave this place as a family in three days.

After the two of them had departed, Su Xuan sat alone under the tree and retrieved the two black pieces from the chessboard.

With a wave of his hand, clarity returned to the world, as if nothing had happened at all.

The old man sat under the tree, hands behind his back, muttering to himself. Indeed, winning people over with virtue is the right way!

Those two are quite sincere for Domain Masters whove cultivated for so long.

But as he pondered this, the old man sat under the tree, hands clasped in his sleeves, murmuring, Meng Jiangchu, Zhang Qixuan, Lu Tiancheng.

Is there anyone else Ive missed?

Tsk tsk, it seems that Domain Master Zhang Qixuan of the Mystical Door Domain and Domain Master Meng Jiangchu of the Divine Treasure Domain know how to be sensible

After delivering this remark, the old man raised his head, calculated something in the sky with his fingers, and mumbled, Almost time For the rest of the journey, that young brat will have to figure it out on his own.

Time to go home and check in on him!

But beads of sweat formed on his forehead, and an occasional muffled groan escaped his lips.

Li Guanqi silently endured this excruciating pain. If the medicinal bath felt like steel needles, the current agony was akin to having his flesh sliced and bones scraped. The sharp pain was a hundred times more intense than the medicinal bath.

Finally satisfied, the old man couldnt help but chuckle, Arent you worried I might be trying to do you in, you cheeky brat?

After a moments pause, the young man turned his head, grinned at the old man, and replied, Grandpa, if you wanted to harm me, you wouldnt have spent all these years going into the mountains to find herbs for me. You could have just left me to freeze to death on the streets eight years ago.

With that, Li Guanqi lowered his head, continuing to dress himself.

Grandpa

Hmm?

Are you planning to leave?

Yes.

Will we see each other again after this?

Yes!

Su Xuan turned to pack his belongings, his eyes betraying a hint of emotion, and he raised his head slightly. The old man, who had turned around, suddenly conjured something larger than the Li Guanqi himself out of thin air. Looking at the boy, who had called him Grandpa for eight years, the old man spoke with deep sincerity.

The path of cultivation is long and treacherous. You must be cautious of those who are not related to you but treat you excessively well.

Some ancient creatures who have been cultivating for thousands of years and are hopeless in their breakthroughs may resort to unscrupulous means like body possession.

Although the young man had heard these words countless times throughout his life, he nodded with a serious expression.

My departure this time is a last resort, fraught with danger. I dare not take you with me.

After tomorrow, you can finally leave the mountain for good.

This sword coffin is the most important gift I can give you!

Remember, you must never part with it. Carry it with you at all times!

The young man gazed at the pitch-black sword coffin before him, adorned with countless mysterious patterns. He was genuinely curious. He knew about sword scabbards, but what was a sword coffin?

This object was over four feet tall, towering over him. Moreover, the old man hadnt told him anything about this sword coffin; he had simply instructed him to carry it. Li Guanqi attempted to lift it but found it impossible!
