Chapter 112: Misgivings Abound

Hearing this, I don't know what reaction Luo Liang had, but Wang Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief, no longer needing to worry that Luo Quan would harm his life, nor that Luo Quan would take him to the Luo family, separating mother and son.

Of course.

What he worries most is that, with his departure, his mother will fall into depression; even if she doesn't die holding a grudge, she will go insane and be mentally abnormal.

Just that.

He thought that way, but Wang Ping'an still didn't fully relax his vigilance; the saying 'Better safe than sorry' had almost become his motto.

Having finally lived again, he hasn't yet witnessed the beauty of this world with his own eyes, and he doesn't want to just casually leave it.

For a moment, Wang Ping'an, taking advantage of Luo Quan not keeping him in mind, constantly stayed alert, watching Luo Quan.

If he made any rash move, even if it meant later fighting Luo Liang to the death, he would drive the sword apparatus within his body.

He would slay Luo Quan!

When Luo Quan had done a series of things against him, and after he had raised his Technique to Cultivation, he was confident he could take advantage of Luo Quan's unpreparedness and kill that bastard.

But it didn't happen that way, not because he was soft-hearted and lenient.

By now, three people have died at his hands, all of whom bore him ill will.

Luo Quan is likewise someone who bears him ill will; how could he possibly hesitate to strike such a person?

He didn't act, first out of apprehension toward Luo Liang, second out of apprehension toward the Luo family behind them.

If.

If he fortuitously killed Luo Quan and also Luo Liang, afterward the Luo family would come investigating and would only see him as a murderer.

They wouldn't care about the specific reasons, nor why he killed, only wanting to avenge Luo Quan and Luo Liang.

Not to mention endangering his life, it would likely also implicate his family and even his master.

Under these circumstances, that is why he suppresses the killing intent in his heart.

Luo Liang sighed, 'As expected, the Great Sword Hero has the skill—not only can he infuse sword qi into an infant's body, but he can also make you mistake it for a Primordial Sword Body!'

'It's not that I didn't think someone would infuse a strand of sword qi into an infant's body!'

Luo Quan snorted coldly.

Although he said that, if you look closely, you can still see shock in his eyes.

Great Sword Hero Dong Qing, whom he knows and admires, has accomplished many great deeds that ordinary sword cultivators cannot achieve; yet now it seems he still underestimated Great Sword Hero Dong Qing.

He would mistake Wang Ping'an for a Primordial Sword Body, not only because Great Sword Hero Dong Qing infused a strand of sword qi into his body, but also because that sword qi emits sword intent and attracts the heavenly and earthly spiritual qi.

Moreover, it is extremely concealed!

If he hadn't used his Dharma Eye, he truly wouldn't have been able to see through Wang Ping'an's body that there actually is a strand of sword qi.

Naturally, he would mistakenly think Wang Ping'an is a Primordial Sword Body!

Luo Liang gave a hehe laugh, still preparing to mock a few sentences, when Luo Quan suddenly handed over the Wang Ping'an in his hand, puzzled, saying, 'What do you mean by this?'

'Please trouble yourself to send this child back!'

Luo Quan casually shoved Wang Ping'an into Luo Liang's hand, his face full of undisguised disdain, saying, 'Of course, if you're unwilling, you can just leave this child here; maybe his family will find him tomorrow morning!'

Having said that, Luo Quan turned and prepared to leave.

Luo Liang watched Luo Quan's retreating back, then looked at the Wang Ping'an shoved into his hand; a flicker of disappointment flashed deep in his eyes, he let out a slight sigh, 'You say you, why aren't you a Primordial Sword Body?'

In the midst of speaking, Luo Liang's heart stirred; the two paper persons lying on the ground suddenly stood up, and he casually handed Wang Ping'an over; after one paper person caught Wang Ping'an, it turned and left, returning the way it came!

'You also study this heretical side path?'

Luo Quan, who had been preparing to leave, suddenly stopped, looking at the paper person carrying Wang Ping'an away, and sneered, 'No wonder your cultivation is mediocre; after half a lifetime, you're still just an Immortal Official of a tiny county town—don't you understand the principle that greed leads to indigestion?'

'Just a little trick; learn it casually, it won't take much time!'

Luo Quan said lightly.

Although he said that, if you look closely, you can still see a trace of unwillingness deep in his eyes; if he could, he would certainly want to learn more profound arts, rather than this heretical side path.

But the problem is...

How could profound arts be something he is qualified to access?

Moreover.

If his cultivation were so easy to break through, how could he possibly waste time on heretical side paths, if not because he has no other way?

Wang Ping'an, held by the paper person, dared not make any rash move, nor dare to inspect the evil cultivator's relic—the cloth bag—to see if there were any treasures inside.

Who knows whether Luo Liang, who controls the paper person, might use it to surveil him?

Not long after.

This novel you have arrived at

The paper person quickly brought him to the infant's bed at home, then turned and left, and the tightly closed bedroom window was shut again by the paper person.

The next moment.

A ball of fire lit up outside the courtyard!

Wang Ping'an, using the Black Cat Constable's line of sight, could see that the two paper persons who had just sent him home had spontaneously combusted, obviously Luo Liang's doing.

Through the Peregrine Falcon Little Gray's perspective, one saw Luo Liang, after controlling the paper person to send him home, take the storage bag to gather the evil cultivator's corpse, and then he and Luo Quan turned and left one after another.

Wang Ping'an, fearing deceit, followed them for a stretch, confirming that Luo Liang and Luo Quan were taking the road back to Qingyang County.

Only then did he use the Beast Taming skill to arrange for the Peregrine Falcon Little Gray to return home and rest!

'Hehe, trying to steal a chicken but ending up losing the rice used to lure it—this time, however, I got the better end!'

Wang Ping'an couldn't help but feel ecstatic, like a successful weasel that stole a chicken; tonight's ordeal can be said to have been a scare without danger, and the gains are endless.

Slaying an evil cultivator earned him a thousand points of Merit; he elevated his Sword Nurturing Technique from Mastery to Minor Accomplishment, and moreover picked up from the evil cultivator's corpse a treasure similar to a storage bag.

What matters most now is to check what treasures are inside the storage bag.

Wang Ping'an's heart stirred; he eagerly entered the World Pearl's world, saw the conspicuous cloth bag, his eyes lit up at once, and he quickly walked over.

Although.

In this world, he still remains in infant form, but it's unknown whether it's due to his soul or his Spirit Power being strong, or because the world inside the World Pearl is different.

He can walk and run!

When planting rice seedlings originally, there was no need to use the Sword Apparatus for sowing; relying solely on himself he could do it. Unfortunately, only he discovered this situation.

Wang Ping'an hurriedly ran to the storage bag, grabbed the storage bag hanging on the rice seedlings in one motion, a light and fluttering trace, completely not overwhelming the rice seedlings, he eagerly said: 'Let me see what treasures are inside!'

Thinking of this, Wang Ping'an suppressed the restlessness in his heart, with a thought he eagerly opened the storage bag, only to see inside a pile of wood, a pile of Paper Persons, and four yellowed small booklets.
