Uncle Xiu's face was filled with shock as he stared blankly at the White Tiger in Jianchen's arms. His face was filled with disbelief and disbelief.
"Father, what's wrong?" Xiu Mi looked at the changes in uncle Xiu's expression in shock. This was the first time he had seen his father lose his composure like this.
Uncle Xiu did not pay attention to Xiu Mi. His gaze immediately became sharp as he carefully sized up the White Tiger in Jianchen's arms. He saw almost every corner of the White Tiger's body clearly.
"Wuu wuu …" Uncle Xiu's gaze was rather frightening. The White Tiger was still too young after all, so it immediately felt uneasy when it was stared at by uncle Xiu's sharp gaze. Its petite body squirmed uneasily in Jianchen's arms before burying its head deep into Jianchen's arms as if it was afraid.
"Uncle Xiu, what are you doing?" Jianchen was both nervous and bewildered. He did not know why uncle Xiu would suddenly act like this. Could it be that he had really seen through the White Tiger's identity? However, the ape king had clearly told him that it was impossible for humans to see through the Winged Tiger's identity.
Uncle Xiu took in a deep breath as his sharp gaze gradually dissipated. He quickly became as calm and profound as before. Uncle Xiu stared at the White Tiger for a while with a complicated expression before turning to Jianchen. He said, "Jianchen, tell me honestly. Did you really pick up this little beast in your arms in the forest?"
"Uncle Xiu, do you know the origins of the White Tiger?" Jianchen looked at uncle Xiu in shock. He felt that this was very unbelievable.
Uncle Xiu sighed and looked at Little Fatty. He said, "Little Fatty, go to the fields first."
"Yes, grandpa!" Little Fatty replied. He looked curiously at the White Tiger in Jianchen's arms before heading to the fields with his hoe.
After Little Fatty left, uncle Xiu said to Jianchen and Xiu Mi, "The two of you come with me!" As he said that, he turned around and walked towards his wooden hut.
Xiu Mi also seemed to feel that the situation was rather serious. He looked deeply at the White Tiger before following uncle Xiu into the wooden hut.
Jianchen dawdled for a moment before following him in.
This was the wooden hut that uncle Xiu lived in alone. It was not large, only around 10 square meters. the furnishings were extremely simple. There was only a wooden bed and a wardrobe, as well as some farming tools in the corner. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
Just as Jianchen entered the hut, a transparent barrier suddenly appeared, enveloping the entire hut.
Seeing the barrier that suddenly appeared, Xiu Mi turned pale with fright. He exclaimed, "Father, just what is it that made you so cautious? You actually used a barrier."
Jianchen's face also became serious. Now that things had developed to this point, no matter how much he did not believe it, he had no choice but to accept the fact that uncle Xiu had already realised that the White Tiger was a Winged Tiger.
Uncle Xiu did not pay attention to Xiu Mi. Instead, he stared at Jianchen sternly and said, "Jianchen, tell me the truth. Where did you obtain this cub?"
"Uncle Xiu, could it be that you've already realised the identity of the White Tiger?" Jianchen wanted to hear a definite answer.
Uncle Xiu's gaze landed on the White Tiger and he said in a deep voice, "If I'm not wrong, it should be the Winged Tiger that only appeared once in ancient times."
Jianchen's face immediately changed. Although he had already guessed this, his heart still beat uncontrollably when uncle Xiu personally mentioned the identity of the White Tiger.
"Jianchen, it looks like you know about the Winged Tiger." Uncle Xiu stared at Jianchen sternly and said in a deep voice.
"That's right. I do know about the Winged Tiger." There was no need for Jian Chen to hide anything now. Afterwards, he told uncle Xiu everything that had happened between him and Rum Guinness without hiding anything.
After hearing Jianchen's words, uncle Xiu quieted down for a while. He frowned slightly and pondered.
Jianchen did not say anything either. He did not want to disturb uncle Xiu's thoughts. On the other hand, Xiu Mi stood to one side as he stared at the White Tiger that was as obedient as a child in Jianchen's arms. He had never dared to imagine that the White Tiger actually possessed such a great background. He found it hard to believe. It was just too unbelievable.
After quite a while, uncle Xiu let out a long sigh and said, "The appearance of the Winged Tiger is a blessing for the magical beasts without a doubt. If it matures successfully, it will definitely reach the level of the Winged Tiger from ancient times. However, the strength of the magical beasts will increase drastically if that happens, and they will pose a serious threat to the humans of the Tian Yuan Continent. Jianchen, the Winged Tiger in your arms that has not matured yet is very likely to bring disaster to the humans of the Tian Yuan Continent in the future."
Jianchen paled in fright when he heard that. Judging from uncle Xiu's words, he did not plan on eliminating the White Tiger before it matured to prevent any future problems.
"It won't, uncle Xiu. The White Tiger is very obedient, and with its current situation, it'll probably have to live among us humans in the future. It'll naturally develop feelings for us humans after a long time, so it definitely won't do something like that. At the same time, its father has been killed by the ruler of the Gilligan clan, and its mother has been heavily injured. Once the White Tiger matures, it'll only hate the Gilligan clan and won't attack us humans." Jianchen explained in a hurry. If uncle Xiu wanted the White Tiger to die, he would not be able to save the White Tiger even if he used everything he had.
Uncle Xiu nodded imperceptibly and said, "Yeah, what you said makes a lot of sense. Even if the Winged Tiger won't do anything to harm us humans in the future, it'll still be a problem if it follows you around."
Uncle Xiu did not give Jianchen time to speak and continued, "This matter is definitely not as simple as you think it is. The ruler of the Gilligan clan has no reason to kill the Winged Tiger because the Winged Tiger's appearance poses no threat to him at all. He might even use this opportunity to reach new heights."
Jianchen was at a loss when he heard uncle Xiu's words. He did not know what to say.
Uncle Xiu let out a long sigh and said, "Jianchen, the Winged Tiger's life is in danger at any time. You have to make it grow up as quickly as possible. Only with enough strength can you face everything in the future."
"Uncle Xiu, is there some sort of secret behind this?" Jianchen was filled with doubt.
Uncle Xiu did not answer him. He said, "Jianchen, you can leave. Remember, make the Winged Tiger grow up as quickly as possible." With that, a crack silently appeared in the barrier.
Jianchen glanced at uncle Xiu and hesitated. In the end, he gently sighed and left with mixed feelings. His heart was rather heavy.
"Uncle Xiu wants the White Tiger to grow as quickly as possible. Looks like there's some sort of secret behind this that I don't know about. I wonder if Rum Guinness purposefully didn't tell me or if even she doesn't know about it," Jianchen thought.
After Jianchen left, uncle Xiu passed a blood-red medallion to Xiu Mi. He said with a deep voice, "Xiu Mi, go to the Bloodsword sect with this medallion immediately. Have all the members of the intelligence agency of the Bloodsword sect move out and observe the situation overseas closely. At the same time, pay attention to the entire Tian Yuan Continent. Report to me immediately as soon as an unknown expert appears."
"Father, didn't you say that you would never use the Bloodsword sect in the future? Why is it this time … "Xiu Mi's face was filled with shock.
"This matter is extremely important, so don't ask any more questions. Go to the Bloodsword sect with my medallion immediately." Uncle Xiu was stern and dignified. Right now, he did not seem like a farmer at all. Instead, he seemed like a great general who could command an entire army.
"Yes, I'll go immediately." Xiu Mi did not dare to ask any more questions. He took the medallion and left.
Uncle Xiu let out a long sigh after Xiu Mi left. He sat down beside the bed and murmured to himself, "They're just far too bold to try and kill the Winged Tiger. Once the Winged Tiger truly matures, it'll be their end. Looks like they might infiltrate the Tian Yuan Continent to kill the Winged Tiger soon. Whatever, this has nothing to do with me. If they really do come, the protector clans will naturally stop them."
…
Jianchen carried the White Tiger into his wooden hut after leaving uncle Xiu's room. He then placed the White Tiger on the bed and gently stroked its furry head.
"Ugh … ugh …" The White Tiger closed its eyes comfortably as if it enjoyed Jianchen's touch very much. Right now, it was extremely reliant on Jianchen.
Jianchen stared at the obedient White Tiger for a while before taking out the thousand-year ginseng the ape king had given him from his Space Ring. He placed it before the White Tiger and gently said, "White Tiger, eat this. It'll allow you to grow faster."
The White Tiger sniffed and seemed to smell a fragrance. It immediately opened its eyes and produced a whimper that sounded like it was cheering. It immediately began to wolf down the ginseng as if it liked eating them very much.
After eating the thousand-year ginseng, the White Tiger let out a satisfied burp. It then closed its eyes and fell asleep on the bed.
Jianchen knew that the White Tiger was absorbing the spiritual energy within the heavenly resources, so he didn't disturb it. He then sat cross-legged on the bed and took out the Hundred Herbs Wine the ape king had given him. He gulped it down in large mouthfuls.
The thousand-year Hundred Herbs Wine's greatest effect was to help people condense their minds. Jianchen gulped down half a liter of it in one go. He then closed his eyes with a satisfied expression and began to enjoy the pleasure that originated from his soul.
As a green Qi rose from his dantian and entered Jianchen's mind, Jianchen's mind immediately began to rapidly strengthen. Even the Sword Spirits benefited greatly.
