"I suspect them too, but there’s no evidence. The group that ca was very formidable. They not only killed everyone but also left no clues behind," sighed Fu Qingzhu. "It was my oversight."
Yang Xiao shook his head, speaking in a very serious tone, "This has nothing to do with you. The Yiling Academy is a massive force with nurous experts; it’s not sothing you can guard against."
There was another thing Yang Xiao didn’t say directly. He didn’t want Fu Qingzhu to get entangled in his grudge with the Yiling Academy, as it would implicate him.
Nowadays, the Yiling Academy is utterly rotten, completely unworthy of the Upper Three Bookshops’ na.
They ca to Qiu Huai De’s house to eliminate threats, just to prevent their secret dealings with him from being exposed.
Now that Elder Pu has died by his hand, Sheng Youjun, that little bastard, was lucky to slip away. For Yang Xiao, this matter is temporarily concluded.
Currently, he doesn’t want to have an open conflict with the Yiling Academy. He hasn’t spread his wings sufficiently, and Elder Sheng hasn’t fully regained his strength; the timing isn’t right yet.
The imdiate priority is to obtain that lantern rod in the hands of the Master of Bone Pavilion, then find a chance to return to the Esoteric Sect and have the Cannibal Buddha reforge the magic artifact for him.
However, for the mont, it’s unlikely that the Yiling Academy will make any large moves. After all, whether it’s attacking him or exterminating Qiu Huai De’s entire family, these are not small matters.
This implicates two massive powers, the Patrol Defense Office and the Union. Once definitive evidence is found, the Yiling Academy won’t escape bla.
It’s safe to say that none of the three forces currently want to make a big fuss, especially since there’s still no concrete evidence against the Yiling Academy.
"Brother, there’s sothing I want to discuss with you." Seeing Yang Xiao pondering, Fu Qingzhu hesitated for a mont but couldn’t resist speaking up.
"Go ahead."
Fu Qingzhu showed a hint of embarrassnt, "Do you rember Qiu Huai De’s magic artifact, that bone fan that imprisoned us?"
"You want that item?" Yang Xiao frowned slightly.
"I won’t take it for free; I’ll exchange sothing for it." Fu Qingzhu swiftly walked to his desk, squatted down, opened a safe, took out two briefcases, one large and one small, and quickly brought them to Yang Xiao, placing them on the table and opening them one by one.
Inside the first case was a golden dagger, and in the other case was a dirty bag.
"These two items are Qiu Huai De’s private stash, the best in quality among them. I’m giving them to you; I want that bone fan," Fu Qingzhu said earnestly.
Yang Xiao reached out and closed both cases; he and Fu Qingzhu didn’t need an exchange of interests. Truth be told, he didn’t lack magic artifacts.
Seeing this, Fu Qingzhu beca a bit anxious, speaking rapidly, "Brother, I really need that item. You can see why these guys keep bothering ; they bully because I’m weak. I can’t rely on others all my life!"
Yang Xiao understood Fu Qingzhu’s plan. That bone fan could imprison Angels, extracting their spiritual power for his own use, allowing him to significantly enhance his spiritual power strength in a short period.
It’s indeed extrely important for Fu Qingzhu right now since drastically increasing one’s spiritual power in a short ti through normal ans is nearly impossible.
"It’s not that I won’t help you, but I’m aware that this magic artifact is difficult to control, especially for soone like you, a low-level apostle."
Once Dean Sheng had told him about magic artifacts, especially those with space abilities or those that directly attack the spiritual realm. They are rare and dangerous to maneuver, requiring extrely high user qualifications as they can easily backfire.
It’s not to look down on Fu Qingzhu, but Yang Xiao didn’t believe he had the necessary qualities.
But this ti, Fu Qingzhu was determined. In the next mont, under Yang Xiao’s surprised gaze, Fu Qingzhu unexpectedly dropped to his knees with a "thud."
Yang Xiao imdiately stood up, his expression darkened, "What are you doing?!"
"Brother, if you don’t agree, I won’t get up! I know that item is dangerous, but even if I die young or die from backfire, I’ve accepted it."
"But I can’t let them look down on ; everyone thinks I’m easy to push around, and anyone dares to tread on ."
With a fierce look, Fu Qingzhu gritted his teeth, "In terms of heart techniques, even if they combine, they aren’t as good as . Strength is my only shortcoming!"
"I can’t keep troubling you with everything. I, Fu Qingzhu, also have my dignity. One day, I will step on all those who look down on !"
"Help !"
"Help !!"
Seeing him speak so resolutely, and knowing Fu Qingzhu’s tenacity, he indeed might kneel there continuously if Yang Xiao does not relent. Yang Xiao was not soone who liked being threatened, but one sentence from Fu Qingzhu moved him.
Indeed, I can’t take care of him forever. If one day I leave Rongcheng, Fu Qingzhu can only rely on himself.
Knowing Fu Qingzhu’s unwillingness to submit to others, his future path will undoubtedly be fraught with difficulty. He desperately needs powerful strength.
Indeed, there’s no magic artifact more suitable for him than that bone fan.
Yang Xiao sighed, stepped forward, and pulled Fu Qingzhu up from the ground.
"You’ve agreed?" Fu Qingzhu’s face showed joy, his previous gloom disappeared.
"This is the road you chose yourself; I won’t say much more. Just take care of yourself."
Thinking about Fu Qingzhu’s future, Yang Xiao recalled Director Nalan’s comnt about him: This man has great ambitions, afraid he won’t et a good end.
