Chapter 303: Chapter 304: Legacy (Part 3)
Bang!
After uttering those words, Mu Ruyue’s legs gave way, and she fell heavily to her knees, sweat trickling down her forehead and cheeks, slowly dripping to the ground and seeping into the earth.
“Yue’er!”
Madam Sheng Yue was greatly alard, rushing towards Mu Ruyue.
“Yue’er, what’s wrong with you?”
As Mu Ruyue lifted her head, she t Madam Sheng Yue’s worried eyes. She smiled softly, shaking her head reassuringly, “Don’t worry, I am just a bit overwheld. A few days of rest should suffice.”
Even Mu Ruyue herself did not realize that just when she was about to give in, a Swordsmanship she had never seen before suddenly erged in her mind. Alas, that Swordsmanship required too much Qi, and with her own strength, she couldn’t perform it, hence they had to transfer their power to her.
However, after all, Mu Ruyue was only an Innate Low-level, and her body’s endurance was limited. With so much external force entering her body, she wouldn’t have been able to endure it if not for relying on the Dan Book…
“Yue’er, it’s good that you’re alright. Don’t do such dangerous things again,” said Madam Sheng Yue as she pulled Mu Ruyue into her embrace, her beautiful eyes sparkling with light.
Heaven knows how fearful she was just a mont ago, even though she said she believed in her, how could her heart not worry? She dreaded that Mu Ruyue might have been torn apart by that force…
Mu Ruyue quietly stayed in Madam Sheng Yue’s embrace, gently curling the corners of her lips.
She truly felt fortunate that she ca back at the critical mont; had she been even a mont later, she might never have seen these people again…
Thinking of this, Mu Ruyue weakly closed her eyes.
This battle had truly exhausted her, and she could no longer hold on…
Xiao Tianyu stepped forward, pulling the two won he dearly loved into his embrace, his handso face glowing with tenderness, yet relief quietly settled in his heart as he lovingly gazed at the embracing mother and daughter.
Others too gasped for breath and sat down on the ground.
At that mont, they had unreservedly transferred all their power to Mu Ruyue, also proving their trust in her. Fortunately, the young girl hadn’t let them down and indeed defeated Nangong Zifeng.
“Elder Xiao.”
Old Master Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to look at the pale-faced Elder Xiao, “Elder Xiao, I’ve always said that no one from our Xiao Family would die.”
Elder Xiao gave a bitter smile, sighing lightly, “I was planning to follow the Ancestor to the netherworld, but unexpectedly I’m still clinging to life. Since this is the case, I will fulfill one last duty, personally take her to receive the Xiao Family inheritance, as a way to honor the Ancestor’s entrustnt.”
What’s more important, it’s ti to tell her so of the secrets of the Xiao Family.
Whether it’s the deceased Ancestor of the Xiao Family or the family’s true identity, she has the right to know! A seventeen-year-old Innate Strong Person likely ranks among the top even in a place like the Central Continent.
Perhaps only she can take the Xiao Family to that place, and that was truly the Ancestor’s last wish before his death.
Thinking of how those people ridiculed the Ancestor back then, Elder Xiao’s gaze slightly darkened, a sneer spreading beneath his lips, wondering if they would regret their decision if they knew that a remarkable character like her could erge from the Xiao Family that was expelled from Central Province.
“Elder Xiao, when Yue’er wakes up, I will have her co to you,”
Old Master Xiao nodded. He opened his mouth to say sothing but swallowed his words.
“Then I will wait for her in the Inheritance Room.” Elder Xiao glanced at Mu Ruyue, then turned and walked towards the back courtyard.
Unknown when, the man who had sustained the Xiao Family single-handedly since the Ancestor’s death had beco so unsteady; the solitary and desolate figure tugged at Old Master Xiao’s heart…
