But...
Searching high and low for that elusive place.
Unexpectedly, the most difficult to see and most mysterious person, upon a sudden turn...
Was right before my eyes.
Recalling how I had just reprimanded Jixia for 'having no achievements, speaking empty words on paper,' even if he acquired the Tongye Two Mansions and inherited the title of Duke Tongye, he would still be nothing more than a puppet for others, a mere skeleton buried in a tomb.
Li Shen Yao's face was a mix of conflicting emotions.
He saw the angry expression of Li Xuanzong but raised his hand to stop his actions:
"Do you want to kill me?"
Smoothing his collar, the once powerful duke who dominated a state had fallen behind in the era of revived cultivation and was in a sorry state, yet his heroic demeanor remained unchanged.
He looked at Jixia and calmly spoke.
Jixia shook his head:
"Destiny is unpredictable, only those with virtue should hold it."
