BXBX NOVEL Chapter 915 - Leave With The Treasure
Chapter 915: Leave With The Treasure
Ou Yangming looked at the mirror in his hand and felt at a loss.
He had only wanted to take a look at the mirror to see what was so special about treasures from the Big Ruins.
Who knew, not only did Xue Yan take out the Self-examination Mirror, but he also handed it to Ou Yangming just like that. After weighing it a bit, the young fellow could not help but smile faintly. It was a treasure indeed, but it was also a hot item.
If it fell into the hands of someone who was not strong enough, it would bring about bad karma.
Xue Yan clearly wanted to divert trouble but after he said it openly, Ou Yangming did not resent him at all.
Since he took the treasure, he had to bear the responsibility.
It was definitely not his style to gain all the benefits and leave without caring about anything.
After pondering for a brief moment, Ou Yangming put away the Self-examination Mirror. He did not study it at this time because neither the time nor the environment in this place allowed it.
He turned and looked in a certain direction. His gaze seemed to pierce through the obstacles on the wall as he looked beyond the infinite space and saw a towering mountain.
There were not many things worth worrying about in Huixun City, but that place was undoubtedly one of them. Even if Ou Yangming had to leave this place, he had to go and explore it first. He was aware that the tall mountain had stood for such a long time so if there was really a secret behind it, it would have been comprehended long ago.
Nonetheless, he was unwilling to give up without experiencing it personally.
All of a sudden, Ou Yangming’s eyelids flickered as he looked toward his courtyard’s entrance.
A graceful figure had vaguely appeared there. She was staring at him with quiet yet beautiful eyes.
Ou Yangming smiled bitterly and greeted her, “Miss Xue, h... Hello.”
Xue Xuanle lowered her head and asked, “Big Brother Yu, are you really leaving?”
“Yes.” Ou Yangming could not bear hurting her, but he knew he could not hesitate at this time.
Xue Xuanle suddenly looked up and raised another question, “Big Brother Yu, will we meet again in the future?”
Seeing as her eyes were filled with anticipation, Ou Yangming could not bear to reject her outright. After a moment of silence, he reached out and retrieved something. It was an interspatial bag.
“Miss Xue, it was fate that brought us together. This is a gift from me to you so please accept it.”
Xue Xuanle was stunned for a moment. She accepted the spatial bag and scanned it with her mental conception and instantly realized that there were many cultivation resources inside. Moreover, the space inside this interspatial bag was much larger than any that she had seen before.
Just this interspatial bag alone was enough to make people drool over it. In addition to the resources inside, it was comparable to the total wealth of the fallen Xue family at the moment.
Even so, that was the property of the Xue family. Who knew how many people were eyeing it? On the other hand, the resources inside the interspatial bag were personal gifts from Ou Yangming.
Countless thoughts crossed Xue Xuanle’s mind, and she suddenly beamed. She looked up and stared at Ou Yangming as she expressed solemnly, “Big Brother Yu, I understand. I’ll definitely work hard, and I won’t let you down...” She looked meaningfully at the young fellow one last time, then she turned around and left with firm steps.
‘This is a test given to me by Big Brother Yu. If I still can’t catch up to him after receiving so many resources, then I won’t have the right to meet him again.
‘In order to meet him again, I must work hard and not let him down...’
Xue Xuanle’s heart was filled with a strong fighting spirit, so much so that her aura changed subtly too.
Ou Yangming watched dumbfoundedly as Xue Xuanle turned around and left. He could naturally feel the change in the young lady’s aura, but he could not figure out the reason. For some reason, he felt uneasy deep down.
‘I don’t need those things anymore, so I gave them to Xue Xuanle as a closure for the time that we have spent together.
‘But did I make a mistake?’

After half a day, Yu Tianrui, who was the Hunting Meet’s victor, was about to leave Huixun City to tour the world. The news that he had received the Self-examination Mirror from Xue Yan had already spread throughout the city.
There were heated discussions in the city as soon as people received the news.
Some people could see Xue Yan’s painstaking efforts, but some people in the Xue family did not understand it. People like Xue Yuan were more hostile towards this matter, but they were soon severely punished by Xue Yan. Nevertheless, though nobody in the Xue family or the Wu family dared to bring this up again, it had spread far and wide throughout the city. Some people even suspected that it was Yu Tianrui’s real purpose in coming to Huixun city.
In the Wang residence, Wang Weinian and Wang Haobin sat opposite each other. They looked gloomy.
“Where are the 2 elders from the Teng Family?”
“There’s no news.” Wang Haobin was still expressionless, but his eyes were full of fear.
The 2 elders of the Teng family had followed Ou Yangming into the Forest of Death. Given their cultivation base and experience, they could easily ambush an Intermediate Spiritualist in the dark. After all, they were not ferocious beasts without intelligence, but powerful top-grade Spiritualists.
Despite that, after Ou Yangming successfully killed the top-grade vicious beast and returned from the Forest of Death, there was still no news from the Teng family’s elders as if they had evaporated from the Spiritual Realm. No matter what the men from the Wang family did, they could not find anything.
At this point, even an idiot knew that the 2 elders were doomed.
Wang Weinian looked up at the sky as though he was deep in thought.
As for Wang Haobin, he clenched his fists and said, “Yu Tianrui’s about to leave. Not only does he have many treasures on him, but he also has... the Self-examination Mirror.”
He had not seen the treasure but since the Xue and Teng families had come to Huixun city, he was not clueless. The Self-examination Mirror, which could make the Teng family risk their lives for it, was clearly a rare treasure.
Wang Weinian slowly retracted his gaze and asked, “How powerful are the elders from the Teng Family?”
The young man was taken aback. He lowered his head and answered, “They’re top-grade Spiritualists, so they’re very strong.”
While the 2 elders had exhausted their potential to reach the boundary, they were still top-grade Spiritualists. Their cultivation base was solid and not at all fake.
Wang Weinian asked softly, “Do you think that Yu Tianrui alone can kill 2 top-grade Spiritualists without making a sound? Heh, besides that, he has also killed top-grade ferocious beasts over and over again. Have you not doubted it before?”
After hearing what he said, Wang Haobin trembled slightly and responded, “But human Venerable Ones can’t attack in the Forest of Death!”
He was a smart person, so he understood what Wang Weinian meant.
An equal-ranked powerhouse might not be able to do what Ou Yangming did. In that case, the only possibility was that the young fellow was protected by a Venerable One in the dark.
Wang Weinian sneered. “The Spiritual Realm is massive and has plenty of extraordinary figures. Heh, it won’t be surprising even if some of them have special methods to hide their cultivation bases.”
The young master’s face changed. He pondered for a moment and asked, “Then... What should we do?”
Wang Weinian was silent for a moment before he asked, “Who else knows about this?”
“Besides Uncle Lingting, nobody else knows.”
Wang Weinian nodded and grinned. He uttered, “Okay, then we’ll wait.”
“Wait for what?”
“We can hold back, but there’s a clan that won’t be able to tolerate this.”
Wang Haobin slowly turned around. They looked in the same direction at the same time.

Inside the Li family’s study room.
Li Tianyu flew into a rage and smashed everything in the room into pieces. Even the most precious antiques were not worth mentioning when he was infuriated.
All of the servants avoided him from a distance. They did not dare to approach him at this moment. If they were beaten to death by the enraged young master, they would have died in vain as no one would stand up for them.
At the spur of the moment, a tall figure appeared outside the door.
His face was pale, but his body contained extremely powerful energy. When he stood there alone, it was as if he had become the center of the universe.
Li Tianyu turned around and saw the person. The fury in his eyes receded by more than half. He lowered his head and greeted the person, “Grandfather.”
It was Li Shaoyuan, who was one of the most formidable powerhouses in Huixun City and a man of his word.
He glanced indifferently at the messy room. The things that were incomparably precious to ordinary people meant nothing to him at all.
“Hmph! How many times have I told you that one must calm down in the face of trouble? Have you done it?”
It was true that Li Tianyu was unruly, but he was obedient in front of the old man. His head was almost lowered to his chest as he answered, “Yes, Grandfather. I was wrong.”
Li Shaoyuan looked at him and let out a long sigh. “The Li family has very few people, so I pampered you so much that you don’t know the immensity of Heaven and Earth. Heh, now, you finally met your opponent.”
“Yes.” Li Tianyu was not resigned to the outcome, but he still responded helplessly. After that, he looked up and asked, “Grandfather, this person’s about to leave with the treasure. Are we... Just going to sit and watch him leave?”
Li Shaoyuan uttered coldly, “What do you mean?”
The young master hesitated for a moment and explained, “Grandfather, I want to pull out his tendons and skin him but... We still can’t figure out his origin.”
Li Shaoyuan smiled gladly and thought, ‘He really made some progress.’
“You don’t have to worry too much. No matter how astounding his background is, we don’t have to be afraid.”
Li Tianyu was struck dumb, and he looked at the old man in surprise.
Perhaps he could do anything within this 3-acre land in Huixun City but independent aristocratic families and supreme sects could not be mentioned on equal terms.
Li Shaoyuan seemed to have seen through him. He smiled and asked, “The young fellow didn’t even recognize the Blood Amber Pill—Zhangzhou’s specialty—at the auction. Tell me—what does that mean?”
Li Tianyu’s eyes lit up. “He’s not a sect disciple from Zhangzhou.”
“That’s right.” Li Shaoyuan laughed. “Since he’s not from Zhangzhou, I have nothing to worry about. Heh, if he’s hiding in the city, I can still let him be but since he’s going to leave and is carrying a treasure so ostentatiously, he’s... Courting death!”
