Shen Muyu’s generous gestures left Xu Guang dumbfounded.
Even for a Fifth-Grade Expert, obtaining that relic would likely not be easy, right?
The things she brought truly resolved Xu Guang’s urgent needs,
he had been hiding in the mountains recently, consuming a lot of spirit crystals both for his own cultivation and for General Wei’s growth.
The spirit crystals borrowed from Master Fuqing had long been exhausted, and fortunately, after defeating Lu Chengze, he had obtained about a dozen more.
Tang Yuming walked in from outside the valley, and General Wei glanced at him, recognized him, then leisurely turned around and walked towards the distant Horn Flower Wood Forest.
"Brother Xu, I’ve heard you went to welco Senior Sister Shen a few days ago?"
Xu Guang walked out of the wooden house, glanced at Tang Yuming, and nodded.
Tang Yuming’s expression was indescribable, and he softly said, "Did you know there’s been gossip about you in the sect recently?"
Xu Guang did not comnt, just looked at him.
Tang Yuming continued.
"So people in the sect are saying that you’re a pretty boy, being an Innate Expert, yet without..."
He didn’t continue, probably knowing the rest would be worse.
Xu Guang slowly closed his eyes and then opened them.
"I suppose you know my situation, Yuming; if not for Senior Sister Shen selecting back then, I guess I would still be languishing in the Iron Armor Sect with General Wei in Qingshuo County. It’s not that the Iron Armor Sect is bad, but whether it’s for or for General Wei, coming to Chuannan Prefecture and up to Jiufeng Mountain isn’t it broader and wider?"
"Since it’s a debt of gratitude, it must be rembered. I have nothing valuable now, but I can only follow in attitude."
Tang Yuming was solemn upon hearing this and bowed slowly.
"Brother Xu’s heroic spirit is comndable."
"Anything else?"
It wasn’t easy for Tang Yuming to find him, so it wasn’t likely for sothing trivial.
Indeed, Tang Yuming stated his purpose.
"Senior Brother Lin Zushan seems to be targeting you in secret."
Tang Yuming’s expression was serious, and he said hesitantly.
He recounted to Xu Guang what had happened at the Moon Embracing Tower a few days prior.
After returning, he thought carefully about what happened yesterday; Lin Zushan stirred up considerable resentnt against Xu Guang with just a few words, even though Xu Guang wasn’t even present, and most people hadn’t seen him.
Even several other senior and junior brothers of the Wanhua Institute began to subtly reject Xu Guang.
After all, Lin Zushan’s reasoning was quite convincing; Xu Guang already got a spot.
Without Xu Guang, could Wanhua Institute even have obtained the spot?
Perhaps the chances were slim, but they were there, weren’t they?
Tang Yuming ca to Xu Guang just to tell him the whole story truthfully.
Although Xu Guang had not yet received a talisman, he was already one of the Wanhua Institute, and he naturally needed to know about its matters.
Xu Guang, upon hearing this, fell silent.
It wasn’t that he didn’t believe Tang Yuming, but he was contemplating another matter.
Lin Zushan’s targeting wasn’t without reason.
He was just thinking, was it only yesterday’s events, or had he already done more?
Since arriving in Southern Sichuan last year, his reputation had beco rather overblown. Did Lin Zushan have a hand in this?
"Last year, at the end of the year, where was Lin Zushan?"
Tang Yuming thought about it; generally, only the higher-ups in the sect would know a disciple’s whereabouts when they were outside.
However, he rembered clearly that at the end of last year, Lin Zushan seed to be on the mountain.
"He should have been at the sect, and it seed he sent Senior Sister Shen to Southern Sichuan."
"But why do you ask this?"
Xu Guang squinted his eyes and did not answer.
He felt that his guess was about 80% accurate.
"Has Lin Zushan ever said outside that he wanted to kill soone from the Celestial Destiny Sect?"
"Of course, as those of us on the Righteous Path, facing demons like the Celestial Destiny Sect whom everyone wants to eliminate, naturally, we must eradicate evil whenever possible. Senior Brother has always wanted to kill Shi Moyun."
Xu Guang took a deep breath, a hint of coldness appearing in his eyes.
’You and I... without enmity or hatred, why...’
However, Lin Zushan is a Fifth-Grade Cultivation; to make a move against him, I still need more practice.
...
After sending Tang Yuming off, Xu Guang took out the relic Shen Muyu had given him and held it in his hand for close examination.
The biggest difference between the Five Viscera like God of the Fifth Grade and the Great Dragon Generating Force of the Sixth Grade is the qualitative change in qi force, which softens it, enabling special thods to enhance the five viscera and drive the power of the Five Elents with the spirit bones.
Currently, he only had the Jade Cicada Molt Divine Technique as a cultivation technique above the Fifth Grade.
If he were to fully unleash his strength, obtaining the original Sea-Overturning True Skill from Master Fuqing shouldn’t be difficult.
But clearly, he would also beco the target of all.
A genius in one step is a genius, but too many geniuses make others think you’re a monster.
The next day, Shen Muyu arrived.
She ca to ride General Wei, and god knows where she developed such a strong addiction, even starting to practice sword techniques on General Wei’s back, seemingly preparing for sothing.
She didn’t say, and Xu Guang wouldn’t ask.
Only upon her arrival would he let General Wei cooperate with her as much as possible; indeed, Xu Guang didn’t even need to remind him.
For several consecutive days thereafter, Shen Muyu ca daily.
Moreover, she really treated General Wei well. Every ti she ca, she brought so delicious food, mostly Sixth-Grade Earth Attribute spiritual dicines or spirit crystals.
But on the fourth ti, besides her, there was an additional person, Jiang Zi Yun.
"Junior Brother Xu, we et again."
Compared to the previous eting’s ’Young Master Xu,’ this ti’s ’Junior Brother’ obviously sounded much more intimate.
Xu Guang smiled. These past days with Shen Muyu, the young girl was really like an ice block; it was good if she spoke more than three sentences to him all day.
He didn’t consider himself a chatterbox, but having soone by his side yet unable to converse was really suffocating, so he rarely made a joke.
