"Oh my, it’s the Heavenly Heart Jade!"
Old Man Shen’s eyes glead as he clicked his tongue in admiration: "Wow, I’ve really lived to see it all, even the penny-pincher is finally spending so money. Our Deputy Chief has really splurged this ti! To actually give away such a top-grade Heavenly Heart Jade. Fang Che, hurry and put it away, this is precious. Wearing it can keep the heart demon at bay, guard against all evils, and even automatically cleanse the body of poison elixirs... It’s such a rare treasure, and such a large piece at that."
"With this, you’ll never have to worry about going astray in your life, do you understand what that ans?"
Old Man Shen was overjoyed: "Quick, put it away, put it away."
He raised his wine glass and said: "General An, I was wondering why I took a liking to you a long ti ago, and indeed I’m right, you’re generous and straightforward. Co, let’s have a drink, I’ll thank you on behalf of these two kids."
With that, he downed it in one go.
An Ruoxing’s face was bitter: "Cough, cough... alright."
It was already given away, and with so many witnesses, there’s no taking it back now.
It was his sister’s relic, and also her favorite thing when she was alive. It’s said that it was given by that person.
Finally, he sighed inwardly.
Giving it away, just let it be. Anyway, every ti I see it, I want to smash it.
As for how it ca, let’s not explain that.
He rolled his eyes and said: "We’ve been pals for a long ti. If I didn’t find you likable, we wouldn’t be friends. You old geezer, full of nonsense."
Then he glared and said: "Who are you calling a penny-pincher?!"
Everyone laughed.
After finishing the drink, An Ruoxing returned ho, opened the cupboard, stood there stunned for a while, and finally let out a long sigh.
His gaze gradually turned sharp, revealing deep-seated hatred.
"Yin Shen Palace, do you know why my sword is called the Zhan shen Sword?"
An Ruoxing took a deep breath, drew the sword, gently wiped it, his gaze sharp and focused: "In this life, I must kill you to avenge my sister!"
The blade was chilling, clear as water.
It seed to reflect his sister’s gentle face, sorrowful eyes.
An Ruoxing’s heart was suddenly pierced, a sharp pain, and he lowered his head, letting out a muffled roar.
"Yin! Shen! Palace!"
...
Fang Che and Ye ng returned to their room and looked at each other in unison.
Fang Che took out the Jade Pendant given by An Ruoxing, and Ye ng took off the bead string from her neck, matching them together, it was a perfect set. What does it an to be a perfect match? This is it.
Both couldn’t help but look at each other in confusion.
Ye ng thought: It can’t be such a coincidence, right? There must be sothing going on here. This matter needs to be reported.
Fang Che thought: No wonder last ti when Yin Shen Palace heard An Ruoxing’s na, their deanor changed suddenly and stayed gloomy for several days. Now it seems these two really have sothing going on.
"Put it away, we’ll talk about it when we return to the Scholar Residence."
Ye ng nodded, put the bead string back around her neck, but threaded a new string for the Jade Pendant and hung it on Fang Che’s chest, smiling with her lips pursed; "Now it’s a real set."
Fang Che couldn’t help but feel his heart warm, and said; "Shall we... is your relative gone?"
Ye ng shook her head vigorously like a rattle drum: "No... besides, this is... not okay, not okay. Besides, we still have to rush to the headquarters tomorrow."
Ye ng firmly disagreed, feeling insecure while traveling.
Fang Che had no choice but to ditate all night to suppress his restless thoughts.
He entered ditation.
The next morning.
Li Changkong led the team back to Baiyun Martial Academy.
Old Man Shen took Fang Che and his little couple to gather at the Southeast Headquarters.
Heading to the Guardian Headquarters together this ti were three contestants: a Martial Marquis Champion, the Southeast’s number one Martial Emperor, and Fang Che.
But the first place Martial Marquis and the number one Martial Emperor looked at Fang Che with a strange gaze.
It was... awe and admiration.
And curiosity.
How could such a young guy cultivate to such an extent?
It’s truly strange.
Zhao Shanhe and An Ruoxing walked out together. Both were full of smiles.
At the sight of Fang Che and Old Man Shen, Zhao Shanhe’s face imdiately turned gloomy.
He snorted.
Feeling very displeased. This Shen Zhixuan, so annoying!
Old Man Shen, with one hand on the sword hilt, looked up and glared, asking: "What are you snorting about?"
Zhao Shanhe furiously said: "My throat is uncomfortable, what’s wrong with snorting?"
Old Man Shen sneered: "Who made your throat uncomfortable?"
Zhao Shanhe was fuming, and with a swish, drew his sword, angrily saying: "Shen Zhixuan, don’t think I’m afraid of you. Your cultivation is many levels below mine."
Old Man Shen said with a sullen face: "So you have high cultivation and back strong enough thighs, so you can oppress your subordinates at will?"
Zhao Shanhe’s face turned blue with anger, about to erupt.
An Ruoxing hurried to smooth things over, saying; "You’re heading to the headquarters today, what are you two doing? If you really want to fight, wait until we get to the headquarters and see the Ninth Lord before doing it. If you’re going to fool around, don’t bla for reporting it to the Ninth Lord at the headquarters! If I report, you both know."
Imdiately, neither spoke.
Old Man Shen, like a cockfight, was quite smug. Zhao Shanhe wore a face of dissatisfaction.
The seven-person team journeyed in silence.
But Fang Che and Ye ng seed like they were on a honeymoon, very sweet, as if they were on a honeymoon trip.
Making the two champions of the Martial Marquis and Martial Emperor jealous and envious.
The most satisfying thing in life is to have a beautiful companion, a heartfelt understanding, seeing the scenery together, traveling the Jianghu, enjoying sunrises and sunsets, sharing the mortal world.
Fang Che achieved it.
The two of them... well, witnessed it.
From the Southeast Headquarters to the Guardian Headquarters, the journey was smooth and safe.
Crossing Bai Shui River, passing through Chifeng Gorge, wading through the Hulu Plain, crossing Seven Layered Mountain, traversing the Wanshou Forest, then crossing the Rainbow River...
