"Big brother, there seems to be something good in that box!"
Golden Hou's eyes lit up the moment he saw the object.
It was an exquisite box. In his view, anything brought out now was bound to have an impressive origin.
And although he had not seen many treasures, his divine perception told him that both the box and its contents were anything but ordinary.
"King, please accept this," said the Litiantian Sect's Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit.
"What is the meaning of this? The karma between us has been settled. You need not do anything extra. Or do you think I am someone who covets benefits?" Di Yi waved his hand.
"King, you misunderstand. This is not part of repaying that karma, but a gift for him." The Litiantian Sect's Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit was startled and hurriedly explained, pointing at Golden Hou.
"So it is for him. But he accepted your teachings without joining your sect, so he is not a disciple of the Litiantian Sect. Why give him a gift?" Di Yi understood what the Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit meant, but he was still somewhat puzzled.
After all, once this gift was given, the spirit would receive nothing in return. Once they left, they would be strangers, with no further contact in the future.
What was the spirit after?
Was it simply generosity?
"King, consider this a small token of my gratitude. Beyond the karma, there is also the kindness of removing that great mountain. Had it remained standing here, it would always have threatened me," the Litiantian Sect's Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit explained. "Perhaps you do not mind, King, but I cannot disregard it, or take it as something that should have happened as a matter of course."
"I see..." Di Yi understood. Without making a fuss, he accepted the box
