Chapter 87: Inheritance (1)
Chapter 87: Inheritance (1)
“T-The inheritance of the Pagoda?” Yang Wei stuttered as he couldn’t believe the words he just heard.
According to Lian Xinyue’s explanation, no one really knows about the inheritance and are just striving for it, hoping it has some miraculous skills or treasures that can boost their cultivation base.
However, Elder Jing’s meaning seemed like she knew exactly what the inheritance was about.
“That’s right, Yang Wei.” Elder Jing exclaimed before casting a spatial barrier around the tent.
Yang Wei felt the fluctuation of spiritual qi in the tent as he raised his eyebrow slightly before realizing that Elder Jing wanted to prevent any eavesdropping.
Elder took a deep breath before beginning. “This is only going to be between the two of us, do you understand, Yang Wei?”
“I understand, Elder Jing. No one will hear about our conversation.” Yang Wei nodded his head as he turned serious to listen carefully.
Once Elder Jing confirmed that Yang Wei knew the seriousness of this conversation, she began her story.
“During the previous mysterious realm, I have explored the Pagoda alone since I was separated from our members in the Feather Wind Sect, I was able to get a glimpse of the inheritance.” Elder Jing said, causing Yang Wei to widen his eyes in surprise.
‘If Elder Jing managed to get a glimpse of the inheritance yet unable to take it then there must have been some condition that Elder Jing didn’t meet.’ Yang Wei questioned inwardly whereas Elder Jing continued her story.
“You might have already guessed that I’ve failed to meet the requirement to inherit the inheritance from the Pagoda since I wouldn’t have left empty-headed.” Elder Jing smiled bitterly as she reminisced about the past where she could have gotten her hand on it.
Heaving a soft sigh, Elder Jing clenched her fist as she exclaimed, “That ridiculous inheritance requires two people to obtain it and one of them must be a Qi Condensation realm.”
Elder Jing was enraged when she couldn’t understand how could it be possible for a Qi Condensation realm to reach the top of the Pagoda and obtain its approval.
Meanwhile, Yang Wei twitched his mouth slightly as he finally understood why Elder Jing chose him for the mysterious realm.
‘So it wasn’t because she was attracted to me nor my comprehension skills.’ Yang Wei sighed inwardly before laughing bitterly.
The cold hard truth was extremely difficult for Yang Wei to accept as he couldn’t believe he was blessed enough to obtain a spot due to his low cultivation base.
“Haha, a mere Qi Condensation realm is required for the Pagoda and I happened to be a fool to accept Elder Jing’s mission.” Yang Wei mumbled softly as he turned around, preparing to leave.
He no longer has the mood to continue this conversation with Elder Jing.
Elder Jing was dumbfounded by Yang Wei’s sudden change of emotion and realized what she just uttered.
“Wait- Yang Wei, it’s not like that,” Elder Jing screamed, hoping to clarify things but Yang Wei seemed to have his communication signal off as he continued walking toward the exit.
Elder Jing gritted her teeth as she vanished from her position, appearing in front of Yang Wei.
“Listen to me Yang Wei,” Elder Jing exclaimed as she reached her hand out to try and hold Yang Wei.
However, Yang Wei dodged and smiled briefly, “It’s fine Elder Jing, I understand my duty. I will help you obtain the inheritance given that they required a Qi Condensation realm.”
And he continued, “Don’t worry about splitting it up because the inheritance will solely belong to you if we manage to obtain it. Consider it my gratitude for bringing me along and helping me gain much comprehension in the cultivation world.”
Afterward, Yang Wei walked over to the side as he opened the door to leave in a sullen mood.
It hurts to know that he was merely daydreaming and having some fantasy that a highly respected Elder Jing would have some relationship with him.
Who was Yang Wei?
No one knows who the hell is he if it weren’t for Elder Jing so Yang Wei didn’t even have the qualification to get mad at Elder Jing.
After all, his achievement up to this point was more or less related to Elder Jing.
When Yang Wei was about to step foot outside, Elder Jing flicks her hand, causing a wave of true qi to impact Yang Wei, making him stumble backward.
Yang Wei didn’t expect to get hit with a sudden wave of true qi as he almost collapsed to the ground but Elder Jing appeared from behind as she held him tightly.
Both their eyes stare at each other deeply with a complicated emotion from each side.
“I’m not mad Elder Jing. I’m just going back to my own tent to solidify my cultivation base so you can have a higher chance to obtain the inheritance in the Pagoda.” Yang Wei said in a low tone.
Although it was a low and calm tone, Elder Jing can sense his sadness hidden inside of him.
“You can let me go already, Elder Jing.” Seeing how Elder Jing didn’t reply nor move, Yang Wei asked kindly at Elder Jing to release him.
Elder Jing shook her head and said slowly to Yang Wei, “If I was simply looking for a random Qi Condensation realm then what made you think that I allowed you to kiss me back in the cave.”
And she continued, “You know my true cultivation base is Houtian realm despite it being a Nascent Soul realm due to the restriction. If I treated you as a mere condition then I would have crippled you or even thrash you to the brink of death.”
Yang Wei didn’t reply as he remained still, almost like he couldn’t think of anything at all.
Elder Jing sighed as she knew mere words can not mend his wound since her original goal was indeed using him as a condition. This was the undeniable truth so she held some guilt but as she interacted with him more, the more attracted she felt toward him.
“If you still don’t forgive me after this then I’m going to be the one depressed,” Elder Jing said as she closed her eyes and leaned forward to kiss Yang Wei’s on the lips.
