Chapter 0006: The Advantages of the Reborn
This is the advantage of rebirth. With a guaranteed victory, why not engage in this risk-free venture?
"Second Young Master Ren, please stay! That is the private chamber of my daughter," Beigong Yu interjected.
Ren Cangqiong cast a meaningful glance at him and deliberately scolded, "I say, Ren Xinghe, you fool, let me inform you that our Zizhu grass cannot survive because someone tampered with the seeds. Even with the rejuvenating dew, it would be of no use. Next time you act impulsively, remember to give me a heads-up in advance"
It is known that Ren Cangqiong usually regards his elder brother as if he were air; even when there are occasional exchanges of glances, more often than not, the disdain and contempt are unmasked.
If this fellow cannot deliver, then at that time, he will occupy the Moonlight Medal with justification. With written evidence as proof, where is the reasoning to be found, and he will not be at a disadvantage.
In his past life memories, six months later, during the grand event of the sixteenth year, a powerful figure from the Heavenly Pavilion would conduct additional tests on Beigong Yao and uncover the root cause of her inability to awaken the seed of the Great Dao
Beigong Yu let out a cold snort and gave his daughter a glance. Beigong Yao angrily sheathed her sword: "Father, this person is clearly here to take advantage of us. If he could awaken the seed of the Dao, why hasn't he done so himself until now?"
Haha, Patriarch Beigong, this initial spirit level four Purple Light Seven Star Plum is one of the proud spiritual herbs of your Beigong family, isn't it? If I can awaken the seed of the Great Dao in your daughter, would you be willing to part with this item and gift it to me?
To speak of Ren Cangqiong in a past life, it is naturally impossible to make such grand claims.
... ...
At this moment, Ren Xinghe's mind was completely frozen, merely following in his younger brother's footsteps. He had a belly full of questions about books and diagrams he wanted to ask, but upon raising his head to see Ren Cangqiong's solitary and tall figure, he felt somewhat guilty. He carefully cradled the precious purple light seven-star plum and continued to walk behind.
I constantly feel that today's events are permeated with an unusual air. This peculiarity ultimately stems from the abnormal behavior of this younger brother.
The Fourth Level Spirit Medicine of Initial Awakening, although precious, would be invaluable if it could awaken the seed of the Great Dao. Even though Beigong Yu feels pained, he would not hesitate to part with it.
After the awakening of the seed of the North Palace Yao Avenue, it soared powerfully like a golden-scaled dragon, effortlessly claiming the title of the strongest among the younger generation in Yunluo City and successfully obtaining the Moonlight Medal
Hmph, isn't the head of the Beigong clan just coveting the Moonlight Medal? Let us wager the Moonlight Medal. I will first deposit the Moonlight Medal at your residence in exchange for my brother's return. If, after three days, Miss Beigong's Dao Seed awakens, the head of the Beigong clan will personally return the Moonlight Medal to my home. Everything that happens at your residence must remain confidential, and not a word should be leaked. How about it? If, after three days, Miss Beigong's Dao Seed awakens, the head of the Beigong clan will personally return the Moonlight Medal to my home. Everything that happens at your residence must remain confidential, and not a word should be leaked. How about it?
Hearing her father's intentions, Beigong Yao immediately felt some doubt. She was aware of Ren Cangqiong. Among the six young individuals in Yunluo City who possessed the seeds of the Great Dao, only she and Ren Cangqiong had not awakened their seeds. It could be said that they were kindred spirits in hardship.
Ren Cangqiong decisively stated: "I am willing to establish a written document as proof"
At sixteen, Beigong Yao, compared to five years later, has lost some refinement and gained a touch of youthful charm. However, the spiritedness reflected in her features is not something that can be compared to that of ordinary women
Damn it, if tears were to fall at this moment, it would be a great embarrassment.
After Ren Cangqiong finished speaking, he embraced the Purple Light Seven Star Plum and left with a flourish. As he walked away, he said, "My brother is returning with me; I trust the patriarch of the Beigong clan has no objections, right?"
Ren Cangqiong, however, did not argue, and smiled as he said: "Patriarch Beigong, facts speak louder than words. For these three days, you have instructed your daughter to do nothing but eat and sleep. As for cultivation, do not think about it for the time being. After three days, you will see some signs. Remember, during these three days, absolutely do not engage in cultivation, keep this in mind, keep this in mind."
As long as there is documentation to support it, regardless of the outcome, the Beigong family will not be the loser
Moreover, his arrangements are also driven by ulterior motives
Although Ren Cangqiong had already been marginalized at that time, he still had some knowledge of the major news regarding Yunluo City, which was known to everyone.
However, possessing five years of memory, many perplexing problems from his past life are no longer an issue for him
At this moment, Ren Cangqiong deemed it inappropriate to appear overly eager. He gestured with his hand to Beigong Yu and said, "Please, Clan Leader Beigong, lead the way. I would like to see where your esteemed daughter resides."
Beigong Yu frowned and remained silent, as if he had not heard Beigong Xia's offer to volunteer. His gaze was deep and focused on the rope on the ground, which was about two fingers thick, lying there in severed sections.
My heart cannot help but race; this is it
And wait! I must first state a condition that may seem unflattering to me. If I am to exert myself, then whatever I do later, the Beigong clan must not interfere. This agreement must be upheld. Otherwise, I will not be able to act freely. Of course, I assure you that I will not bring any harm to your esteemed daughter
However, her demeanor was quite refined; in front of her father, although she had doubts in her heart, she did not express them at that moment
As he spoke, he had already floated to the outside of the courtyard, gently slicing through the rope with his hand, the wind from his palm gliding past, causing the rope, which was as thick as two fingers, to break inch by inch.
Seeing that Beigong Yu was hesitant, Ren Cangqiong knew it was the right moment to press the advantage. Beigong Yu was a cunning old fox; without provoking him a little, it would be difficult to ensnare him
This person actually boasts about being able to help her awaken the seed of the Great Dao, but Beigong Yao does not believe it
The patriarch of the Beigong clan is a hero of Yunluo City. If the patriarch possesses the spirit, let us wager on a game. Within three days, I will surely awaken the Dao seed of Miss Beigong.
Ren Xinghe's lips trembled slightly, overwhelmed by a mix of emotions. There was no doubt about it; that was definitely a gaze filled with concern. Although this peculiar individual tried hard to conceal it, Ren Xinghe asked himself, he could not have misinterpreted it!
Ren Cangqiong smiled faintly, stopping in front of the window, yet his gaze remained fixed on a flower radiating a purple light, resembling a wintersweet blossom.
Ren Cangqiong observed clearly but felt no fear. He gently raised the Purple Light Seven Star Plum and smiled, saying: "Patriarch Beigong, how did we agree beforehand? I can do anything, and you must not interfere. Is that still valid?"
Haha, then I shall not be polite. Ren Cangqiong said, and surprisingly, he really moved down the Purple Light Seven Star Plum.
"Let's go." Ren Cangqiong tossed the Purple Light Seven Star Plum into Ren Xinghe's arms and swaggered out.
The writing materials are ready, and the document will soon be established. Both parties, having carefully reviewed the document for accuracy, are about to affix their seals.
In the eyes of the members of the Beigong family, this scene was enough to make their hearts and lungs nearly explode
In the Beigong family, Beigong Xia unwillingly said: "Patriarch, how about I go out masked and intercept them halfway to retrieve the Purple Light Seven Star Plum?"
Ren Cangqiong secretly smiled to himself, thinking, "Beigong Yao, oh Beigong Yao, in the last battle of our alliance in the previous world, I admired your loyalty and integrity. This time, consider it a favor returned to you."
Ren Xinghe shouted, "Second Brother, don't be impulsive! I can afford to die; what am I afraid of? Without the Moonlight Medal, even if we die, we would still be letting down our father..."
From a distance, one could see Beigong Yao practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard. Upon noticing her father’s arrival, Beigong Yao sheathed her sword
Ren Cangqiong leisurely circled around before making his way towards the boudoir of Bei Gongyao
This is not an ordinary boast. Without certainty, who dares to make such a claim? Unless he has gone mad in the face of the heavens, or treats his own brother's life as a joke
Prepare the writing tools! Beigong Yu made the decision on the spot
What if one cannot awaken after three days
Beigong Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded again. It is reasonable for them to require the awakening of the seed of the Great Dao as a condition.
Is this true?" Beigong Yu was also straightforward, "How do we bet?"
Speaking of which, it is related to a panacea. The reason behind it is, in fact, a major blunder, a great joke
Ren Cangqiong looked at Beigong Yao's somewhat innocent face, feeling a sense of familiarity in his heart. However, it was precisely because he gazed at her a little longer that Beigong Yao's misunderstandings deepened. Secretly annoyed, she wondered if this person was also one of those lecherous types.
Beigong Yu, seeing Ren Cangqiong's confidence, which seemed to carry profound meaning, glanced at Ren Cangqiong and said, "Words alone are not enough to prove it"
Moreover, that tone sounded like a reprimand, but what does his gaze mean? It seems devoid of mockery and disdain
Results must be seen within three days
That kind of gaze... There is absolutely no mistaking it; only between flesh and blood brothers can one truly feel that kind of external coldness paired with internal warmth and concern. In that moment, Ren Xinghe felt a lump in his throat, a warm current swirling in his chest. His eyes grew misty, and he quickly turned his face away.
Beigong Yao could no longer endure it; with a flash of cold light, she grasped her long sword and was ready to strike.
Good! Beigong Yu was overjoyed
Is it possible that this fellow has truly changed his nature? Does he really have the confidence to awaken the Dao seed of Beigong Yao?
If you can truly awaken the seed of the Great Way within the young girl, what harm is there in giving you this item
Holding a section of rope in his hand, Beigong Yu's expression changed slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of complexity as he gazed in the direction where Ren Cangqiong had departed, his face reflecting deep contemplation
If one cannot awaken, then the Moonlight Medal would be rightfully claimed by the Beigong family, wouldn't it? Ren Cangqiong said earnestly, yet his heart was as calm as a clear sky.
Although Ren Xinghe was scolded, he remained in a daze. This tone was quite different from how his brother usually spoke. Moreover, how did he know that I came to the Beigong family to steal the "Revitalizing Nectar"? It seems I haven't mentioned this to anyone at all
Beigong Yao could not help but say: "Ren Cangqiong, do not be so pleased with yourself. In three days, if I find out that you are just boasting, I will personally come to your home to reclaim the Seven Star Plum of Purple Light."
This younger brother is truly behaving unusually today
This time, however, it was impossible for Beigong Yu to remain unmoved
Generally speaking, a girl's boudoir is not to be intruded upon. However, extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary measures. Beigong Yu led Ren Cangqiong to the right side of the manor
Haha, Miss Beigong, do not worry. If there is no effect after three days, the Moonlight Medal will still be yours, let alone a mere Purple Light Seven Star Plum.
If one can awaken the seed of the Great Way in his daughter, what harm is there in returning this Moonlight Medal to him, even if it means relinquishing the heavens?
