Chapter 2503: Chapter 2506: Golden Heaven: Huangjin Ruofeng

"All right, since your sister is willing, then come with me. Brother Ling Xiao, you can rest easy.

As long as I, Shen Dian, am still alive, Sister Jiaojiao will be fine."

Shen Dian looked at Ling Xiao very seriously as she spoke.

"With your guarantee, I’m at ease."

Ling Xiao nodded, then turned to Ling Yuhua at the side and said, "Old Master, are you willing to let her go?"

"Of course."

Ling Yuhua actually nodded with great determination and said, "The weak can only be bullied, only be slaughtered at will.

If you hadn’t come back this time, if it weren’t for Miss Shen Dian’s help, I’m afraid Jiaojiao and I wouldn’t even have had the ability for Jade and Stone Annihilation.

Jiaojiao’s life would have been utterly, completely ruined.

I hope she can become stronger. Since Miss Shen Dian says that Jiaojiao, who possesses the Sword and Saber God Emperor Martial Soul, can gain the attention of their family, then I’d rather believe it."

The current Ling Yuhua had not lost the rationality he used to have, yet he had become even more sentimental and righteous.

This kind of Ling Yuhua was someone Ling Xiao rather welcomed.

"My Lady, we should set out."

The Gold Knights waiting over there had long since grown a bit impatient, but still spoke very politely.

"Enough, Huangjin Ruofeng. If you urge me one more time, I just won’t go back."

Of course, Shen Dian was just venting. With her father in trouble, there was no way she wouldn’t return.

After speaking, she glanced at Ling Xiao and said, "Brother Ling Xiao, I have to go back. My father is in trouble, I can’t not go.

But Brother Ling Xiao, you must remember me. I will come back to find you."

"No need, I’ll be the one to come find you."

Ling Xiao looked at Shen Dian and said with a smile, "At the very least you have to tell me where you all are, right?"

Shen Dian nodded and said, "Brother Ling Xiao, if you truly want to find me, then you must first step out of the Western Region, the weakest area on the Xuanwu Continent.

Then go seek a place called ’Golden Heaven.’

Once there, you only need to inquire after the ’Golden Family’ and you’ll be able to find me."

"Golden Heaven!"

Ling Xiao was somewhat shaken.

The Western Region of this Xuanwu Continent was actually the weakest place?

Then those Sects like the Xuan She Demon Sect from before were actually not even worth mentioning?

That was a bit too exaggerated.

But since it was Shen Dian who said it, it should be right.

Golden Heaven!

I will definitely go there!

Ling Xiao gritted his teeth and said.

"Oh right, Brother Ling Xiao, take this. This is the Secret Technique Sword I wear. Although it’s not as powerful as the previous one, it can transform into my human form.

On the one hand, it can keep Brother Ling Xiao from forgetting me; on the other hand, it can scare those people from Eight Immortals Mountain a bit.

I know Brother Ling Xiao, you definitely still have to return to Eight Immortals Mountain, otherwise you can’t participate in the battle in the Bull God Labyrinth.

And you’ll have no chance to go to the Secret Realm Academy in the Chen Dynasty Capital."

Though Shen Dian wasn’t very old, she was extremely bright and clever, actually seeing through Ling Xiao’s intentions.

Indeed, the reason Ling Xiao hadn’t truly gone on a killing spree, aside from Shen Dian suddenly needing to leave, was also that he wanted to use Eight Immortals Mountain as a ladder.

To turn this Sect into his stepping stone.

"Thank you."

Ling Xiao took a deep breath as he spoke.

For Shen Dian to think things through so thoroughly for him, it proved he hadn’t treated her well for nothing.

"I’m setting off, Brother Ling Xiao."

Shen Dian’s eyes were already brimming with tears. She didn’t even want to look at Ling Xiao again, turning her head away.

Because she was afraid that if she softened, she wouldn’t want to leave.

Ling Jiaojiao also wasn’t planning to return to Yuhua Town.

As they say, seeing things stirs up feelings; if she went back, it would only make the reluctance to part even stronger.

Rather than that, it was better not to go back.

They could wait until their strength was great in the future and then return; it wouldn’t be too late.

"Ling Xiao, when your big sister becomes stronger in the future, I will definitely come back to protect you. I can’t let you protect me forever."

Ling Jiaojiao wiped away her tears and said with a smile.

"Then Sister Jiaojiao, you’re going to be disappointed, because I’ll definitely always be stronger than you. Don’t forget, your little brother is the number one genius in the Mysterious World!"

Ling Xiao laughed. "You’re afraid you won’t escape my protection for the rest of your life."

"Hmph, then we’ll just have to see."

Ling Jiaojiao also turned her head away, but tears kept flowing down uncontrollably.

The two girls almost ran as they left, because they were afraid that their reluctance would make them stop in their tracks.

The Gold Knights had long prepared an enormous carriage.

The horses pulling the carriage were actually entirely golden, with golden feathered wings—pegasi.

The carriage left Lingxiao Courtyard under the escort of the Gold Knights.

However, the Gold Knight captain, Huangjin Ruofeng, did not leave.

He gave Ling Xiao a cold glance and said arrogantly, "Brat, originally, just for daring to have My Lady call you ’Master,’ I ought to kill you.

But in view of the fact that you saved My Lady and helped her so much, I won’t kill you.

However, there are some things I have to make clear to you.

Golden Heaven—just with your kind of aptitude, I’m afraid you won’t reach it even if you live out your entire life, so in this lifetime, you can stop thinking about My Lady. It’s pointless.

It’s not that I look down on you, it’s simply that you’re too weak. Don’t talk about going to Golden Heaven; you may not even be able to walk out of the Chen Dynasty, and within the Western Region, countries stronger than the Chen Dynasty are everywhere.

By the thousands and tens of thousands!

If you can step out of the Chen Dynasty and make a bit of a name for yourself in the Western Region, that would already be me overestimating you."

Huangjin Ruofeng’s words were cruel.

And very realistic.

He was telling Ling Xiao a fact: just how difficult it was to reach Golden Heaven.

Ling Xiao lowered his head, seemingly pondering Huangjin Ruofeng’s words.

When facing Huangjin Ruofeng, all the advantages he’d had in the past had completely vanished.

Because even if he cultivated to the Reincarnation Realm, that would only be enough to have a foothold in the Western Region, nothing more.

So he wanted to think things through carefully.

But in Huangjin Ruofeng’s eyes, his posture meant he had submitted.

Huangjin Ruofeng was very satisfied. He took out a set of Golden Battle Armor from his Storage Ring and said, "I, Huangjin Ruofeng, have always been clear in matters of gratitude and resentment.

You saved My Lady and have helped her so much, so I’ll give you this Battle Armor.

Every day, it can help you block three attacks from a First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm, Sixth Layer Hell expert.

Remember, only three times. Use them wisely.

With this, you can absolutely remain safe and sound in Eight Immortals County City.

So my suggestion is: just stay here forever. Marry a virtuous woman, be an ordinary man, and live a happy life.

Many people say you don’t need to look at background, that as long as you work hard, you can climb to the peak of this world.

But I’m telling you, the people who can achieve that, even in over a hundred thousand years of history, number only a scant few.

You don’t have the qualification, nor do you have the ability.

Rather than go out and take risks and die somewhere outside, you might as well live your whole life down-to-earth."

"Heh."

Ling Xiao suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

Huangjin Ruofeng asked in puzzlement.

"I’m just laughing that, because you can’t do something, you say no one else can either. Isn’t that hilarious?

Whether I have the qualification or the ability, it’s not your place to judge."

Ling Xiao looked calmly at Huangjin Ruofeng as he spoke.
