Chapter 89: Inheritance (3)
Yang Wei stood up with much difficulty as he coughed multiple times from the impact of Elder Jing’s strike.
Afterward, he glanced at Elder Jing with a bittered smile, “It was just some joke to ease the tension and atmosphere. Did you really have to hit me that hard?”
Elder Jing scoffed as she ignored his pleas. ‘A mere joke? Hmph, I bet you wouldn’t mind if I actually listened to your words and gave you another kiss.”
Elder Jing turned around to sit on her chair as she turned solemn.
Yang Wei knew it was no not time to joke as he sat in front of her, preparing to listen to the full details.
Elder Jing heaved a soft sigh as she said, “On the top floor, I met a mysterious shadow. I couldn’t see his face clearly nor even sense his cultivation base as he had a scary aura around him.”
“Scary aura?” Yang Wei raised his eyebrows slightly.
“Yes, a scary aura because his cultivation doesn’t seem to belong in this world. When he spoke to me, I felt like every part of my body was shaking from the sheer voice he echoed as I felt restricted.” Elder Jing paled when she recalled the scene.
Meanwhile, Yang Wei turned solemn from the reaction that Elder Jing had by just mentioning the mysterious shadow.
At the same time, Yang Wei wondered if the mysterious shadow was Nie Jin or the same shadow that kept reminding him in that dark environment.
“What did the mysterious shadow say to you?” Yang Wei enquired when Elder Jing calmed down.
Elder Jing held her hand tightly as she said, “The mysterious shadow said, don’t ever show up alone otherwise, I don’t mind decimating you because my inheritance is not for a single person.”
Elder Jing held a timid expression as she continued, “Next time, if you want to get a chance to obtain my inheritance which includes this Pagoda and some other treasures that don’t belong in this Mortal World then bring a Qi Condensation realm cultivator. The Qi Condensation realm cannot be some ridiculous and trash fool.”
Yang Wei becomes dumbfounded by the speech of this mysterious shadow. He wanted a Qi Condensation realm yet doesn’t want a trash person.
‘Isn’t he just contradicting his words?’ Yang Wei questioned inwardly.
Meanwhile, Elder Jing regained her composure as she finished reciting the mysterious shadow’s message.
“Although I don’t understand why the shadow would order this kind of instruction, my body felt like I had no other choice but to listen to his words. After all, I have a feeling that his cultivation base is in…the Xiantian realm.” Elder Jing said solemnly.
“XIANTIAN REALM?!”
Yang Wei exclaimed loudly with a disbelief expression.
Afterward, Yang Wei stood up from his chair as he couldn’t imagine a Xiantian cultivator would be in this Pagoda.
Elder Jing laughed softly as his reaction was the same as her when she made this conjecture but other than a Xiantian realm cultivator, she couldn’t imagine a different scenario where she would tremble in fear from just a mere voice of a shadow.
“Now you know why I’m obsessed with this pagoda?” Elder Jing asked as she retrieved a cup from her spatial ring.
Afterward, she started walking toward a table and poured some tea into her cup.
Yang Wei nodded his head in understanding as to why this conversation must be kept a secret.
Not only does the inheritance relate to the ownership of the pagoda but according to the mysterious shadow’s word, there is also some treasure that does not belong in this world.
Of course, Yang Wei wouldn’t fully believe the word of some unknown stranger and Elder Jing was the same as well but given their current predicament, the mysterious shadow’s word is most likely to be true.
Elder Jing sipped some tea and smiled at Yang Wei, “I’m pretty sure with your swift thinking, you know that there was no point of the mysterious shadow lying to me.”
“Un, if he was truly in the Xiantian realm, he could have just harmed Elder Jing during that time instead of specifying you to bring another person with you.” Yang Wei nodded before clenching his fist.
Heaving a deep breath, Yang Wei decided to inform Elder Jing about the mysterious shadow during the time he became unconscious.
“Elder Jing, there is something I need to tell you.” Yang Wei said as he proceeded to explain their first meeting.
Elder Jing listened to each word carefully as she held a dumbfounded expression.
Sometime later, Elder Jing sighed inwardly when Yang Wei finished telling the information he had.
“It seemed like that mysterious shadow was more eager to meet you than the person who managed to reach the top floor.” Elder Jing smiled bitterly as she could never believe Yang Wei would become the chosen one.
‘From a beggar expression that only has raw strength to someone who could possibly obtain the inheritance that many sects strived for.’ Elder Jing laughed inwardly as she wondered if this was heaven’s will.
A seemingly ordinary mortal that got a chance to become a cultivator was able to obtain such luck.
“Yang Wei, are you sure you are just a mere mortal without any special condition?” Elder Jing stared at Yang Wei as she suddenly asked him.
Yang Wei shuddered slightly as he wasn’t ready to answer such questions from Elder Jing.
Elder Jing detected his abnormal attitude and emotion as she became more suspicious of him.
“Yang Wei, answer me,” Elder Jing continued to pressure him but Yang Wei continued to stay silent.
Sweats are already trickling down his forehead as Yang Wei was cornered by Elder Jing.
Elder Jing showed an angry expression when Yang Wei kept quiet as she pointed the door for him. “Get out, to think you hid a secret from me despite everything we’ve gone through!”
Yang Wei twitched his mouth slightly as he sighed softly in defeat. ‘I guess hiding it any longer is pointless as of this moment.’
