Chapter 621: Three True and Forget River

Zhao Yan looked at the light blue mark with the character "Jiang" on his left arm, and countless thoughts flashed through his heart.

He wasn't a stupid person, so he quickly thought of the information revealed not long ago by the elder behind the girl beside him.

If there was any accident that would cause him to be unable to continue waiting for Senior Sister to recover, it was highly likely because of these suddenly appearing Three True sect members, and the time could also match.

'So that's how it is...'

Thinking of this, a hint of realization rose in Zhao Yan's heart.

It seemed necessary to solve those Three True sect members here; after all, due to the existence of the Three True Chase Void Seal, even if he escaped now, he would sooner or later be found.

However, rushing out blindly didn't conform to his consistent style; it was best to test them in advance. Who knew if there were any monsters like his old friend in this generation of the Three True Dharma Gate.

With his current strength, if such a situation really occurred, he was afraid he could only place his hope on this little girl beside him... or the elder behind the other party.

After some simple thinking, Zhao Yan said in a deep voice: "Bai Xiaoxiao, right? Now there is one thing you need to do."

"After the matter is over, I will accept you as an apprentice."

Since the information from the handwriting owner had been initially verified, and this little girl's talent was indeed not bad, he could indeed consider passing [Forget River Art Academy] to the other party.

Of course

But if there truly existed monsters among those people, like that old friend of his...

No, it wouldn't need to be to that degree; even if they were only Great Divine Ability or even Middle Divine Ability Dharma-Seekers, he feared he would struggle to handle them.

‘It seems I still need to leave behind some contingencies.’

With this thought flashing through his mind, Zhao Yan tore off a piece of his sleeve, bit his fingertip, and began recording the relevant content of the [Returning-Heaven Blood Body] upon it.

Not long after, a scrap of cloth covered in blood-red, fly-sized characters appeared in his hand.

Zhao Yan casually handed it to his Returning-Heaven Blood Body, signaling it to go and hide this rag containing the supreme inheritance of the [Wandering River Academy].

After finishing all this, he spoke in a calm tone: "You should know where I’ve hidden that thing. If any unexpected situation truly arises, I hope you can use the content within to properly instruct this little girl."

"If she can inherit the name of the [Wandering River Academy], that would be best."

At this, he paused slightly, then added with a hint of weariness: "But if she does not wish to bear the karma of the [Wandering River Academy], I also hope you can help me pick a suitable successor; the reward shall be that [Returning-Heaven Blood Body]."

Zhao Yan believed the owner of the handwriting would understand his meaning.

The reason he did this, ultimately, was because of the other party’s unfathomable concealment methods; if the handwriting hadn't actively appeared before his eyes, he wouldn't even have noticed a third person was present.

As Zhao Yan’s voice fell, the small alleyway went quiet for a time.

After a brief silence, a barely perceptible line of text suddenly entered his field of vision.

【Agreed.】

Seeing this, Zhao Yan felt a sudden sense of relief.

It was then that Bai Xiaoxiao asked: "I wonder what you would like me to do?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yan first sighed, then said very solemnly: "Please control this fellow to go to the Wu residence and help me find two things."

"One is a Dharma treasure that appears to be made of tortoise shell; it looks roughly like this."

As he spoke, a phantom image of a token resembling a tortoise shell appeared in his hand, with a rare Dharma-pattern drawn in the center of the token.

After showing it briefly, Zhao Yan prepared to tell the young girl what the second item was.

But before he could speak, he noticed an odd look on her face.

At this moment, Bai Xiaoxiao recalled the phantom token she had just seen and felt as if she had seen it somewhere before.

Where could it be?

She began to rummage through her memories, attempting to find the source of this familiarity.

After some recollection, Bai Xiaoxiao quickly remembered where she had seen that token.

Back in Black Mountain Village, there seemed to have been an extremely similar token always following little brother Haoguang!

‘So, is Uncle Zhao looking for little brother Haoguang and the others?’

But before Bai Xiaoxiao could reach a correct conclusion, Zhao Yan’s voice pulled her back to reality: "Have you seen this thing before?"

At this moment, this supreme figure of the Wandering River Academy looked at the young girl whose expression was constantly shifting, and couldn't help but slightly furrow his brows.

Facing his inquiry, Bai Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment before nodding in admission: "I have indeed seen it..."

As she spoke, she told him everything she knew.

And after telling Zhao Yan everything, she couldn't help but ask: "What does Uncle Zhao want to do by finding little brother Haoguang and the others?"

Even though Bai Xiaoxiao didn't know the history of love and hate between the Three-Truths Sect and the Wandering River Academy, she could vaguely sense something ominous in the air.
