From a young age, under Li Mu's guidance, he had only one goal in life: to destroy the Qin Family, reclaim the Eastern Continent, and let the glory of the Li Family shine on the Eastern Continent once more.

He endured for hundreds of years, and every time he asked Li Mu, the answer was only two words, "Wait!"

The time was too long; he gradually became numb, and even in recent years, he hadn't asked again.

But unexpectedly... the day had finally come.

"Did the three ancestors of the Stone Race agree to attack the Human Race?"

Li Fu asked excitedly.

"You'll know when the time comes. Prepare well; this might be the only chance for the Li Family. If we succeed, all these years of waiting will be worth it. If we fail, the Li Family might cease to exist!"

Li Mu's expression was solemn.

After waiting for so many years, he was impatient, just as Li Fu probably had been for a long time.

Since that's the case, let's gamble.

If unsuccessful... everything will vanish into thin air.

Success!

Even if it's not much, we can escape the current humiliation!

It's worth it!

Relying on others for so many years, even though he became the so-called Lord Priest and his physical form was modified, it was all an insult to the Li Family!

"Yes, father!"

Li Fu shouted sharply, preparing... he had prepared for so many years and was ready at any moment.

His only thought now was whether the opportunity his father spoke of was real.

Otherwise....

....

In the blink of an eye, Chen Xuan had been at the Jiang Mansion for seven days.

Lying sideways on the chair, he put down the book in his hand and rubbed his sore eyes.

"Could I really have been wrong?"

Chen Xuan murmured to himself.

Several days had passed, but the old man hadn't taken any action.

If he truly knew he was from the Human Race, even if he didn't expose him, he wouldn't just let it slide.

For this, he even deliberately left the Prince's Mansion a few times, giving the old man ample opportunity.

"Young master, dinner is ready!"

"Come in!"

Chen Xuan straightened up.

At this moment, the door was slowly pushed open, and Xiaomei walked in carrying a round tray.

On it was a bowl of spirit rice, a plate of meat, and a plate of vegetables.

Though there was both meat and vegetables, it was meager and pitiable to Chen Xuan, but among the Stone Race, it was already quite remarkable.

"Thank you!"

When she placed the dishes on the table, Chen Xuan thanked her softly.

"You're too kind, young master."

Xiaomei smiled slightly. Over the days, she had come to understand Chen Xuan's temperament.

He was very gentle.

He completely treated her as an equal, unlike those superior Stone Race members.

"Xiaomei, I'll be leaving now."

"Hmm!"

Chen Xuan nodded faintly, then walked over to sit by the table.

As usual, he began to eat.

Though it was a bit frugal, Xiaomei's skills were excellent.

The meal was filled with distinct flavors.

Just as he picked a piece of vegetable and put it into his mouth, his expression changed slightly but quickly returned to normal.

Although he continued to eat, a voice echoed in his mind.

"Tomorrow at noon, head north from the Jiang Mansion, ten miles away is a Spirit Stone Shop, meet there!"

The old man finally acted!

He had hidden the voice within the vegetables without any trace; his control over spiritual power was several levels higher than his.

"Indeed, my feelings weren't wrong!"

Chen Xuan murmured in his heart.

But now he felt much more relaxed; the burden in his heart was eased.

"I must meet him and see what tricks he has up his sleeve!"

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes.

Knowing he was from the Human Race but refraining from exposing him, the old man was evidently not loyal to the Stone Race.

....

The next day

Chen Xuan, as usual, chatted with Xiaomei, trying to discern if she knew about yesterday's events.

But she seemed oblivious.

This made him admire the old man's skills; he was able to deliver the message unnoticed.

"Harboring evil intentions!"

This was Chen Xuan's assessment; the old man was definitely not an innocent figure.

Nearing noon, Chen Xuan stretched lazily, "I'm going out for a stroll, the mansion is too dull."

"I'll prepare dinner when you return, young master."

"Alright!"

Chen Xuan nodded and then walked outside.

Just reaching the Jiang Mansion's entrance.

"Jiang Tian, you're heading out again!"

With Shi Lin's prior notice, the guards were very courteous to him.

Initially, they would ask his destination, but after frequent outings, they stopped inquiring and only reminded him not to stay out too long.

"Yes!"

"It's so lively here; I didn't have the chance before, and soon I'll enter the Holy Land. So I'm taking time to explore around."

"Unlike you, always in the city, I haven't seen much of the world!"

Chen Xuan's words made them quite pleased.

A hint of pride appeared in their expressions.

The Stone Race was simple; unlike the Human Race, a few words could close the distance.

"By the way!"

The lead guard leaned closer, lowered his voice, and asked, "I heard that a batch of beautiful stones arrived at the Spirit Stone Shop in the north. Can you bring one back for me?"

"My wife likes them!"

The Stone Race naturally loved stones, especially the colorful and shimmering ones, which they had no resistance against.

When he mentioned the Spirit Stone Shop, Chen Xuan felt a slight tension, but hearing it was for his wife, he smiled slightly, "No worries, what color does your wife like?"
