Descending the Mountain

"Disciple, Master is returning to the Upper Realm to find your Master's Wife. Go down the mountain and make a living for yourself."

Qin Guan returned to his living quarters after finishing moving a mountain, only to discover the letter his Master had left behind.

"That Old Man is definitely up to no good!"

After reading the first sentence, Qin Guan was immediately struck by a bad premonition.

"Twelve Years ago, I was careless and accidentally slapped the Nan Family Old Ancestor of Qingzhou to death. As compensation, I privately sold you to their Nan Family before he passed away and signed a Marriage Contract with him. So, go and be their Live-in Son-in-law..."

Seeing this, the Corner of Mouth of Qin Guan couldn't help but twitch. Twelve Years ago, he was only four years old when he was sold by his Master. To think he had trusted that Old Man so much; he really was a shameless Old Thief.

A live-in son-in-law—he had never imagined in his life that he would become someone else's husband. In his view, this was a disgrace to a man. A man should stand tall and upright; how could he stoop to living off a woman?

Thinking of this, Qin Guan felt helpless. It was his Master who had dug him out of a pile of corpses, raised him, and taught him his skills. In his heart, he had long regarded his Master as a father.

A father's debt must be repaid by the son; it was only right and proper.

He had to eat this humble pie whether he liked it or not.

"Sigh!"

Qin Guan let out a sigh and continued reading.

"You brat, were you cursing me just now?"

Qin Guan was speechless upon reading this line. The Old Monster had lived for who knows how many years, yet he was still like a child. When would he ever mature?

"Keep that tower safe. It is very important to you. Do not lose it, or I guarantee I will hammer you to death!"

"Also, if you ever cause a huge disaster that you cannot handle, open that Red Brocade Pouch. It might be able to help you."

"Finally, don't complain about me selling you. I am sending you to enjoy life. Qingzhou is full of beauties, and with your current strength, you can do whatever you want there."

Qin Guan: "..."

After finishing the letter, Qin Guan picked up a Storage Bag from the table and opened it.

Inside were a Red Brocade Pouch, a Marriage Contract, and a Small Black Tower.

Seeing that Little Black Tower, the eyes of Qin Guan Lit Up Instantly. Good stuff!

Swish!

The moment Qin Guan held the Little Black Tower in his hand, it suddenly transformed into a Mysterious Light and submerged into the center of his brow.

Qin Guan tried to communicate with it, but the tower didn't even acknowledge him.

"Got personality. I like it."

Qin Guan curled his lips in a smile and stopped worrying about the Little Black Tower. He knew that artifacts like this had their own consciousness and required time to build a rapport.

Half a month later, in the territory of Qingzhou.

A ferry boat moved slowly across the vast river.

Standing on the boat was a beautiful Woman. She wore a white dress, her face was like fine jade, and a golden phoenix yellow silk belt cinched her willow waist, outlining her graceful figure in a charming manner.

"Young Lady, step back!"

At this moment, a Green Robe Old Man suddenly appeared in front of the Woman, shielding her behind him.

"What is it, Elder Xu?" The Woman asked, somewhat surprised.

The Green Robe Old Man looked into the distance, his expression grave. "An incredible fellow is coming!"

The Woman was startled upon hearing this; she had never seen Elder Xu this nervous before.

Just then, the calm river surface suddenly rippled. The next moment, the river erupted; countless fish, seemingly frightened, leaped out of the water and fled in panic.

Splash!

The rippling river began to shake violently, crashing fiercely against the banks.

"An earthquake! It's an earthquake!"

The boatman shouted in terror, his Hands clutching the mast for dear life.

The Green Robe Old Man pressed his palm down gently, and the rocking ferry instantly stabilized.

At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened.

"A—a flying mountain!"

The boatman looked up at the Sky Above in horror, only to see a small hill whistling past above the ferry.

"Whoosh!"

Before they could recover, a pillar of red water suddenly shot up from the riverbed, dozens of yards away from the ferry.

The next moment, a Youth suddenly flew out from the water. The Youth was enveloped in a faint Red Light, moving with incredible speed like a cannonball fired from the depths, flying straight toward the falling hill.

"My apologies!"

In the air, Qin Guan, who was supporting the small hill, bowed toward the ferry before dropping back into the river.

On the river, the small hill moved at high speed and vanished from their sight within moments.

"I have long heard that immortals exist in this world. Today, this old one has the good fortune to witness an immortal moving house; it is truly a blessing of three lifetimes, as if the smoke of Ancestor Peak has risen for me!"

After Qin Guan left, the boatman kowtowed incessantly in the direction he had departed.

"That youth from just now is no simple character!" the Green Robe Old Man said with a grave expression.

Hearing this, the White Clad Woman asked with a smile, "How does he compare to you?"

The Green Robe Old Man gave a wry smile. "I have no certainty. If I had been certain, would I have let him leave so easily after he disturbed the Young Lady?"

"Giggle!"

The woman covered her mouth and chuckled. "This is the first time I have seen Elder Xu be so straightforward."

"With such robust Gang Qi, one cannot afford to provoke such a Martial Cultivator without a death-defying resolve," the Green Robe Old Man said solemnly before continuing:

"As far as I know, none of the great clans in Qingzhou have such a figure. To have attained such accomplishments at such a young age is truly rare. Could it be that he is also heading for that place?"

The White Clad Woman's delicate brows furrowed slightly. "Go and investigate this person."
