Chapter 12: Chapter 11 Leaving

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.

Unfortunately, for an ordinary man like him, the age of forty-four was not considered young. The passing years have worn down his ambitions. He had become accustomed to his peaceful life and no longer wished to struggle. His body too, could not withstand such turmoil.

Pei Xuanjing nodded, indicating his understanding, "Do you have anywhere to go? "

Since Pei Xuanjing would be leaving soon, it was impossible for Mr. Xu to stay in the small city.

It\'s not that he was reluctant to entrust the Everlasting Observance\'s property to Mr. Xu. However, as an ordinary man, Mr. Xu wouldn\'t be able to handle such a large estate.

Furthermore, Pei Xuanjing did not forget that Zhang Zhiyi had died by his hands. Even if the Zhang Family lacked evidence, while he was present, they dare not come to cause trouble. After he leaves, they would definitely not be able to resist the temptation of pestering Mr. Xu.

After some thought, Mr. Xu responded, "I have a brother in the neighboring city. I can go to him."

He understood Pei Xuanjing\'s concerns and promptly provided an option he had planned beforehand.

Since Mr. Xu had a place to go, Pei Xuanjing didn\'t need to worry further. He indicated to Mr. Xu that he could leave and make preparations.

Mr. Xu nodded his head, and just as he was about to leave, he couldn\'t help but turn around and ask, "Master, what will happen to the Everlasting Observance in future?"

In the end, he had lived here for almost thirty years. His affection for this place, one could say, was perhaps even deeper than Pei Xuanjing\'s.

On hearing this, Pei Xuanjing furrowed his brows slightly. After all, he had lived here for eighteen years. How could there be no sentiments attached?

However, his reluctance lay in leading a mediocre life, like his master did – bitterly sticking to this city, heading towards a melancholic end.

He thought for a while and took out the manual "Yi Wood Skill" from his bosom and handed it over. Naturally, Mr. Xu did not wish to accept it, but when he heard Pei Xuanjing resolutely said,

"On my departure, if I succeed, the name of the Everlasting Observance will resonate throughout the whole of the Great Ming dynasty. If one day you hear news of my demise, find someone to pass on this legacy."

Speaking honestly, even though he had the life simulator in hand, Pei Xuanjing didn\'t truly believe himself to be a so-called son of destiny or the protagonist of fate. The higher he reached in terms of martial arts realm, the more he felt that the secrets of heaven and earth were not just this. Therefore, he didn\'t have absolute certainty that he would continue to have smooth sailing. So, it\'s just as well to leave the legacy of the Everlasting Observance behind, clearing off any lingering worries.

He gave Mr. Xu some wealth - not too much, but enough for him to lead a peaceful life.

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.
