Chapter 248: Opening
Deep within the Qin Family Manor, a quiet elegant courtyard is Jiangnan Wang's temporary residence in the Qin Manor.
At this moment, Tian Can Daoist sits cross‑legged on the bed, eyes tightly closed, faint black true Qi swirling around his body.
As time passes, the aura on his body Gradually becomes steady.
His originally pale complexion also recovers a hint of color.
After a long while, Tian Can Daoist suddenly opens his eyes, two sharp rays of light flash by.
He slowly exhales a puff of turbid Qi, and the aura on his body instantly contracts.
The wound that Ye Jinghong's sword Qi had heavily damaged earlier, after this breathing adjustment, has completely recovered.
But the humiliation in his heart cannot be erased.
He, Tian Can Daoist, has roamed the jianghu for decades, with Half-step Celestial Being cultivation—how magnificent!
When has he ever suffered such humiliation?
Being forced by a kid in public to apologize, and then being severely wounded by Ye Jinghong, his face completely ruined!
Thinking of this, Tian Can Daoist's eyes fill with resentment and Poison.
"Jiang Feng! Ye Jinghong! If this grudge is not avenged, I, Tian Can, swear I will not be a man for others!"
If the chance of the Wu Zun Ruins were not right before his eyes, he now would wish to rush out immediately and shred Jiang Feng's corpse into Ten Thousand pieces!
At this moment, a cautious voice comes from outside the door.
"Tian Can senior, may I enter, Prince?"
"Enter."
Jiangnan Wang quickly walks in, his face covered with a flattering smile.
He walks to Tian Can Daoist's Front, slightly bows.
"Senior, how is your injury? Is there any serious problem?"
Tian Can Daoist gives him a faint glance.
"No problem, just a minor injury, nothing hinders."
"That's good, that's good! Senior's power reaches the heavens, this minor injury is naturally nothing."
Jiangnan Wang flattered a few lines, then turned the conversation.
"Senior, there is something I need to tell you. The people of Qingxiao Sect have already arrived at Qin Manor; the Qin Family, to discuss tomorrow's opening of the Wu Zun Ruins specifics, has specially set a banquet in the main courtyard tonight. I wonder whether Senior wishes to attend?"
Upon hearing this, Tian Can Daoist's eyes flicker slightly.
Wu Zun Ruins, that is his ultimate purpose for this trip.
He slowly nods.
"Old brother naturally will go."
"That's that! Senior is Half-step Celestial Being, strength outstanding, naturally must attend the banquet, discuss the opening of the ruins!"
He pauses, as if recalling something, with a hint of cautious reminder.
"But… Senior, Jiang Feng that scoundrel will probably also attend tonight's banquet. This Prince wants to say, Senior you'd better avoid conflict with him. After all… behind him now stands Ye Tianren!"
He has personally witnessed Ye Jinghong's strength.
In the blink of an eye, he severely wounded Tian Can Daoist; such strength is terrifying to the extreme.
Although Tian Can Daoist is formidable, compared with Ye Jinghong, he is still a level lower.
Jiangnan Wang's scheming, Tian Can Daoist sees through at a glance.
He looks coldly at Jiangnan Wang, his eyes bearing a hint of mockery.
"What? Prince is afraid Old brother offends Ye Jinghong, and it will involve you?"
Jiangnan Wang's complexion changes instantly, hurriedly raises his hands, a face full of panic.
"Senior has misunderstood! Misunderstood! This Prince is certainly not that meaning!"
"I am honored beyond Ten Thousand to receive Senior's assistance, and will share honor and disgrace with Senior, how could I fear being implicated? This Prince only worries that if Senior clashes with Jiang Feng and offends Ye Jinghong, it will affect Senior's qualification to enter the Wu Zun Ruins!"
Jiangnan Wang's words sound sincere, seeming truly concerned for Tian Can Daoist.
Tian Can Daoist looks at his demeanor, a cold arc forms at the corner of his mouth, yet he does not pierce him further.
However, Jiangnan Wang's words indeed touch his heart.
The opportunity of the Wu Zun Ruins is more important than anything.
Thinking this, Tian Can Daoist directly says.
"Rest assured, Old brother has lived so many years, what great storms and waves has not been seen? Jiang Feng that kid is indeed hateful, Old brother wishes to shred him into Ten Thousand pieces. But for me, breaking through Heavenly Human Realm is the lifelong pursuit."
"Before reaching Heavenly Human Realm, I will not cross swords with that kid again."
To break through Heavenly Human Realm, he can endure!
When he breaks through Heavenly Human Realm and attains strength like Ye Jinghong, then not only Jiang Feng, even Ye Jinghong, he may not even glance at!
Hearing this, Jiangnan Wang's suspended heart finally settles.
"Senior deeply understands the great righteousness, looks far ahead, I have overthought! With Senior's words, I am at ease!"
Tian Can Daoist does not heed Jiangnan Wang's flattery, slowly stands up from the bed.
"Let's go, to the main courtyard."
"Very well! Senior, please!"
Jiangnan Wang quickly nods, attentively leads the way ahead.
The two, one ahead and one behind, walk out of the courtyard, heading toward the Qin Manor main courtyard.
At this time, Qin Manor is already brightly lit.
Servants carry lanterns, weaving among the courtyards, busily setting up the banquet.
At this moment, the courtyard already has many people seated, even Jiang Feng and Long Bad Dao arrived early.
On the main seat, Qin Feihong and Ye Jinghong were sitting together.
Qin Feihong wore a deep blue brocade robe, with Laughter on his face, speaking with Ye Jinghong.
If Ye Jinghong were not present, tonight there really would be no need for a Heavenly Being like Qin Feihong to keep company, but after all, Ye Jinghong is openly the current top Heavenly Person Expert.
Beside the two, several Elders of the Qin Family were also seated, as well as Family Head Qin, Qin Kuo Hai.
As time passed, people from the various Factions arrived one after another.
The courtyard had no empty seats, the din of voices roared, exceptionally lively.
Qin Feihong looked at the courtyard full of guests, a satisfied Laughter on his face.
He slowly stood up, picked up the wine cup on the table, and gently tapped the rim of the cup.
The crisp sound instantly overpowered the courtyard's clamor, causing everyone to fall silent.
Everyone lifted their heads, their gazes falling on Qin Feihong, waiting for him to speak.
Qin Feihong cleared his throat, his face bearing a gentle Laughter.
"All Daoist companions, all friends, welcome everyone to Qin Manor!"
"Today, the various Factions gather in one hall to discuss the specific matters of opening the Tianmu Wuzun Ruins tomorrow!"
He paused briefly, his gaze sweeping over the whole venue.
"After the confirmation of this old man and Sect Leader Ye, the opening time of the Tianmu Wuzun Ruins has already been Certainty!"
Everyone held their Breath, their eyes full of anticipation.
Qin Feihong took a deep Breath, then announced.
"Since everyone has arrived, this old man formally announces here. At this moment… open the Wuzun Ruins!"
The crowd, hearing the words, all showed shocked expressions.
Wasn't the Wuzun Ruins supposed to be opened tomorrow?
How could it be opened so quickly?
Jiang Feng was not particularly concerned; to him, the time to enter that so‑called Wuzun Ruins was of None importance.
However, the two Grand Masters of the North Sea Mo Family showed hesitation, and one of them even stood up directly.
"May I ask Qin Heavenly Person, why such haste to open the Wuzun Ruins?"
