Chapter 12: Chapter 11 Leaving

Translator: 549690339

After breaking through the sixth grade, Pei Xuanjing took some time to solidify his realm. Once completely familiar with the true qi within his body, he called for Mr. Xu, “How many years have you been here in the observance?”

Though somewhat baffled, Mr. Xu earnestly replied, “Since the age of sixteen, I was taken in by the old Master Guan. It has been about twenty-eight years now.”

The old Master Guan was Pei Xuanjing’s master, the previous master of the Everlasting Observance.

Pei Xuanjing nodded, “I wish to leave, are you willing to follow me?”

After some consideration, he added, “If you are not willing, I will give you some wealth. It will be enough to support a comfortable life.”

When Mr. Xu heard of Pei Xuanjing’s resolution, he wasn’t very surprised. He gave a bitter smile, “With your distinguished talents, you naturally can’t be confined to this insignificant place.”

He was not a fool – after all, a foolish person would not earn the trust of both the old Master Guan and Pei Xuanjing, or manage secular affairs of the Everlasting Observance for so many years.

In fact, ever since Pei Xuanjing killed Zhang Zhiyi – an eighth-grade martial artist and the head of the Zhang Family, Mr. Xu was already clear that Pei wouldn’t stay here for long. The subsequent assistance given to Jiang Yan to breakthrough only confirmed his speculation further.

If Pei Xuanjing was merely an ordinary ninth-grade martial artist, staying would have been a good choice. But it’s a matter of fact that our master’s brilliance is too outstanding to be withheld in this remote small city.

Seeming to realize something, Pei Xuanjing remarked, “It seems you want to stay here.”

Mr. Xu bowed and replied, “For all these years, I have been reliant on the protection of Old Master Guan and you. I am deeply grateful. I should ideally be by your side, serving you. But now, I…”

Even though he didn’t finish his sentence, Pei Xuanjing understood what he meant.

If were twenty years ago, Mr. Xu would have undoubtedly chosen to follow Pei Xuanjing. Perhaps he could have even made a name for himself relying on Pei’s fortune.

It wasn’t that he was reluctant to give more. But if he gave too much, not only would it not benefit Mr. Xu, it may even become a disaster for him.

After Mr. Xu’s departure, Pei Xuanjing gave some silver money to the remaining low-level workers in the observance and dismissed them. He then summoned Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan, who was seen as someone whose family had declined, had suddenly broken through to a ninth-grade martial artist and revived his family’s fortunes. Although in everyone’s eyes he was full of vigor and vitality

However, in front of Pei Xuanjing who assisted him in his breakthrough, and whom he suspected to be an eighth-grade martial artist, Jiang Yan didn’t dare to display a hint of arrogance. Instead, he showed humility and respect.

“Master Guan, long time no see. It seems like your skill has deepened,” he complimented with a smile.

Pei Xuanjing gave a smile, “Alright, no need for such formalities. Sit down, I have something to tell you.”

Despite not caring for Jiang Yan’s respect, Pei Xuanjing couldn’t help but feel favorable towards him. After all, nobody would willingly support an ungrateful person.

Without wasting time on small talk, Pei Xuanjing went straight to the point and told Jiang Yan that he was planning to leave and wanted to hand over the business affiliated with the Everlasting Observance to him.

Of course, this wasn’t a giveaway. He intended to exchange it for all the martial arts skills and inheritance notes in Jiang Yan’s possession.

Jiang Yan readily agreed, as he saw this as a profitable deal. Suddenly rising to the rank of a ninth-grade martial artist, and facing a small city that had already been divided up clean, he was merely a facade and could not be considered a significant force.

Knowing that he got the better end of the deal, Jiang Yan instantly promised to protect the Taoist temple of the Everlasting Observance well. If Pei Xuanjing ever returns in the future, he would repay him twice over.

Pei Xuanjing gave a slight smile and didn’t bother about it. After all, he would either ascend into the skies or die in the pursuit of martial arts. Either way, he doubted he would have another chance to return.

Once the deal was completed, Pei Xuanjing summoned several managers affiliated with the Everlasting Observance and informed them about everything. As for what they thought about it, Pei Xuanjing did not know and had no interest in knowing.

After that, Pei Xuanjing left without much fuss. Riding a horse, with a bag on his back and the Pine Pattern Ancient Sword at his side, he decisively set off.

Alone, with only his horse for company, he headed towards the morning sun, and faded into the distance.
