Leng Qianshuang's words were startling, her voice still cool and indifferent.
It's like talking about a trivial little thing.
Han Xuanji was somewhat surprised. He was still considering how to bring up the matter of borrowing points, but Leng Qianshuang brought it up so openly.
"That's actually what Master meant when he asked me to bring you in."
Leng Qianshuang paused, glanced at Han Xuanji, and looked at him with a hint of smugness, as if she had already seen through what he was thinking:
"He wants you to go directly to the inheritance site of the Ten Directions Holy Lord, instead of lingering outside."
Han Xuanji's heart stirred slightly.
This thoughtfulness surprised him somewhat, yet he also felt it was perfectly reasonable.
After all, the inheritance site of the Ten Directions Holy Lord is a "limited instance," and it would be too much of a waste of his time to spend accumulating points.
Actually, there was another reason that Leng Qianshuang didn't say in public: Han Xuanji was Transcendent, and the life-and-death trials he experienced in the Primal Chaos were more than the combined experiences of most trial participants in this Saint Realm throughout their entire lives.
Making him grind monsters from the beginning to accumulate points is a complete waste of time.
Mo Chenxiao had naturally taken this into consideration, which is why he chose to have Leng Qianshuang bring Han Xuanji in.
The main reason is that this opportunity for inheritance is rare. As a peerless genius who was expected to step into the Saint King Realm Stage back then, the fall of the Ten Directions Holy Lord was something that many people did not expect.
Among the nine major powers' Holy Lord Ranking, the Ten Directions Holy Lord was once ranked among the top three.
The Land of the Ten Directions Holy Lord' Inheritance is not open at all times.
Leng Qianshuang was fortunate enough to enter it back then, but she failed the challenge. When Mo Chenxiao entered the Nine Mysteries Saint Realm, this inheritance site was not yet open.
Leng Qianshuang also wanted to see Han Xuanji could do what she hadn't done before.
Upon hearing this, everyone at the table showed varying degrees of surprise.
Su Ye paused slightly in his wine cup, Wen Ruyu slowed down his action of putting down the bamboo fan, and Hong Ling raised her eyebrows without any attempt to hide it.
The land where the Ten Directions Holy Lord passed on their legacy.
This is a renowned place of heritage, and entry requires 10,000 points, which is no small amount.
For these seasoned veterans of the Saint Realm, this amount was something they could afford, but it was by no means pocket money they could casually give away.
Although Leng Qianshuang is cold-hearted, she is not the type to be kind to people easily. The fact that she took the initiative to offer to borrow points shows that she values this junior brother far more than they expected.
As rumored, Han Xuanji was extremely favored.
It's unclear what kind of magic Han Xuanji possesses that makes the master and disciple have such high expectations of her.
Their gazes darted back and forth between Leng Qianshuang and Han Xuanji, each with their own guesses, but no one said anything.
Han Xuanji neither declined nor feigned politeness.
Since that's been said, refusing would be disrespectful to others' good intentions and a waste of your own time.
Just accept it openly; it's nothing shameful.
That's one of the advantages of being a junior apprentice.
However, Han Xuanji was naturally not so shameless. He sat up straight and spoke seriously:
"Okay, but it's a deal: these points were borrowed from my senior sister, and I'll pay you back with interest later."
Leng Qianshuang glanced at him, her gaze lingering for a moment on Han Xuanji's serious face, before she nodded slightly:
"Good."
She neither said "you don't need to pay it back," nor did she say "there's no rush to pay it back."
Han Xuanji said he would repay it, so she believed him.
This straightforward trust made Han Xuanji feel more comfortable than any polite words.
Dealing with people like that is effortless.
Leng Qianshuang manipulated the token a few times, and a pale golden light flew out from her token and entered Han Xuanji's token.
Han Xuanji looked down.
[Received 10,000 points from Trialist Tianshuang ]
His token's points balance had jumped from 0.1 to 10000.1.
"Ten thousand points is just enough to enter the Ten Directions Trial Ground."
Leng Qianshuang retrieved the token, her tone indifferent, "The inheritance of the Ten Directions Holy Lord is inside. Whether you can obtain it depends on your own ability. Just remember to return 10,000 points to me after you get it."
Han Xuanji put away the token, nodded solemnly, and said nothing more.
Some things don't need to be said repeatedly.
The people at the table exchanged a glance.
Su Ye was the first to lose his composure and asked:
"Junior Brother Han, you're already planning to head to the inheritance site of the Ten Directions Holy Lord as soon as you arrive?"
"Um."
Han Xuanji did not hide anything and answered frankly:
"The path followed by the Ten Directions Holy Lord is somewhat similar to mine; I wish to take this inheritance."
After he finished speaking, the table fell silent for a moment.
"The legacy of the Ten Directions Holy Lord..."
Wen Ruyu broke the silence first, her tone carrying a hint of deliberate caution:
"That place is no ordinary place. Many renowned prodigies from the nine supreme powers have failed miserably. It's not that they weren't strong enough, but rather that the Ten Directions Holy Lord made this trial far too difficult."
"It's more than just difficult."
Su Ye picked up the conversation, saying with deep understanding:
"Every single one of us in our year stumbled at some point."
" The Ten Directions Holy Lord has extremely high standards for his successor. Even ordinary top geniuses from supreme forces fall short. Only historically exceptional geniuses might succeed. However, such individuals are rare, appearing only once every few years, and even then, they might not have any need for the Ten Directions Holy Lord's inheritance at all."
Once these words were spoken, everyone deeply understood their meaning.
Even though they were already top-tier geniuses, the Ten Directions Holy Lord's requirements were too high.
Hong Ling didn't say anything discouraging; she simply looked at Han Xuanji with great interest.
"Junior Brother Han, your senior sister just gave you 10,000 points, and you're already going to throw them away on the Ten Directions Trial Ground? Aren't you afraid of losing everything?"
Han Xuanji picked up the wine glass in front of him, took a slow sip, then put it down, his tone calm:
You'll only know if you try.
He made no grand pronouncements, nor did he offer any guarantees.
But it was precisely this calm and unwavering confidence that made the people at the table suddenly understand why Leng Qianshuang treated this junior brother differently.
This person is genuinely low-key, but their boldness and confidence in their actions are anything but.
Two seemingly contradictory traits combined in him do not appear out of place at all.
"Interesting."
Su Ye smiled, raised his wine glass, and gestured to Han Xuanji.
"Then I wish Junior Brother Han the best of luck."
I wish you success.
Wen Ruyu also raised her glass.
Hong Ling and Zi Yuan also raised their glasses in a toast, their eyes showing less curiosity and more anticipation.
Regardless of the outcome, someone who has the courage to face the Ten Directions Trial Ground deserves respect.
