"Hmph, escape from the Da Xuan Country? Do you really think that the Heart Nourishing Pill bestowed by the Clan Head is a miracle medicine? Think about what happened to those who betrayed the Bai Clan. Furthermore, my entire family is staying with the Bai Clan. If I leave, how can they live? If I remember correctly, the beautiful woman you married last year was pregnant at the beginning of the year. According to Doctor Zhang, there is an eighty to ninety percent chance that it will be a boy. "Guan Lao Da snorted and replied with a gloomy expression.
"This …" Hearing this, Gu Lao San felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head.
"If it really doesn't work, I do have a way to find a way to survive. However, the chance of survival is less than twenty percent. You will need to use up all of the wealth that we have accumulated over the years." Guan Lao Da's eyes flashed for a while before he finally spoke.
"Using up all of the family's wealth and there is only a twenty percent chance of survival?" Hearing this, Gu Lao San's face turned bitter.
"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that I have some connections with the First Madam, I wouldn't even have this chance. If you aren't willing, I won't force you. "Guan Lao Da calmly replied.
"Guan Lao Da misunderstands. How could I not agree? As long as I can preserve my life, a few worldly possessions are nothing." Gu Lao San was startled and hurriedly smiled apologetically.
"It's good that you understand this logic! There is no time to lose. Before this matter spreads back to the clan, you and I must quietly return to the Bai Clan and quickly prepare everything. "Guan Lao Da's expression finally relaxed.
This time, Gu Lao San naturally nodded his head in agreement. He no longer dared to show any signs of unwillingness.
Thus, the two of them discussed for a while in front of the new grave. Guan Lao Da immediately took out a pair of green gloves made from the skin of an unknown animal and put them on.
The green gloves glowed with a blinding white light as they fiercely smashed the ground in front of them.
"Boom!" A loud sound rang out.
Countless weeds and dirt flew in all directions as a three foot deep pit appeared in front of the two of them.
Gu Laosan moved and circled around the pit. He kicked all the other corpses into the pit with a few whooshing sounds.
But when he walked in front of the young man's corpse, he hesitated for a moment. Then, he reached behind him and pulled out the long sword from its sheath.
With a swipe of his finger on the sword, a wisp of green light spread out from it.
Gu Lao San flicked his wrist and was about to use his sword to do something to the corpse.
However, at this moment, Guan Lao Da's ears twitched. His expression suddenly changed as he turned his head in the direction of the river.
"Who is it? How dare you eavesdrop on us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Lao Da's arm moved. A light flashed on his fist and a formless ball of Qi shot through the air.
A muffled sound!
More than a hundred feet away, a thin and weak silhouette rolled out from the underbrush, lying motionlessly on the ground.
Seeing this, Guan Lao Da took a few steps forward and raised his leg, kicking the frail figure into the air and causing it to roll on the ground.
Surprisingly, it was another young man with his eyes closed. His clothes were tattered and his body was dripping wet. He appeared to be unconscious.
"Could it be that he ran over from the other side of the river? It seems that even if I don't do anything, he won't be able to live for long." Guan Lao Da lowered his head and looked at the newly appeared young man. After making sure that he posed no threat, he let out a sigh of relief.
"Since it's like this, hurry up and finish him off. What we just talked about cannot be leaked." Gu Lao San, who had also relaxed by the side of the pit, spoke without hesitation.
"You don't need to tell me that, I already know. Eh, this brat's appearance … "Guan Lao Da unhappily replied. His arm trembled as his gloved fist once again glowed with a green light. However, when his gaze swept across the youth's face, his face suddenly revealed a trace of astonishment.
"What's going on? What happened to his appearance?" Gu Lao San saw this scene and naturally became curious.
"Come over and you'll know!" Guan Lao Da retracted his fist and waved at Gu Lao San with a strange expression on his face.
Seeing this, Gu Lao San's heart naturally became even more curious. Without thinking too much, he sheathed the sword in his hand and hurriedly walked over.
"Who is this kid? Why does he look so much like the young master?" When the skinny man saw the appearance of the drenched young man, he couldn't help but cry out involuntarily.
"It's at least sixty to seventy percent similar. However, his face is a bit paler, his eyebrows are a lot thicker, and there are a few scars on his face. His skin looks a bit rougher as well. He doesn't look like the pampered young master at all." Guan Lao Da said with a long sigh.
"There are too many people who look alike in this world. It's not strange to see one here. Furthermore, the young master is already dead. What's the use of this kid's resemblance? Furthermore, the young master is a Spiritual Pulse user. If he hadn't met with an accident, at the very least, he would have become a Practitioner like me. "Gu Lao San regained his senses and shook his head.
"However, if this kid really does have a Spiritual Pulse, I have a better way to save his life. But how can there be such a coincidence in this world? For a Practitioner Clan, it's easier for a Spiritual Pulse user to appear because of the power of their bloodline. But for a normal person, finding one Spiritual Pulse user out of thousands of people is already quite good. Furthermore, if a normal person knows that they have a Spiritual Pulse, they won't be able to become a Practitioner without sufficient resources and training methods. Didn't you and I become servants of the Bai Clan after we were found to have a Spiritual Pulse? That's how we were able to reach our current level! "Guan Lao Da sighed as he thought of something.
"That's true. Even those Spiritual Pulse disciples who come to the Bai Clan to train themselves are not chosen by a thousand people. Only those with outstanding aptitude and temperament would be able to be trained from a young age. Speaking of which, the disciples of the Bai Clan can't even be compared to the disciples who come to the Bai Clan. "Gu Lao San replied without thinking too much.
"What's the point of saying all this now? Our first priority is to protect our own lives. Since this kid is so young, I'll leave his corpse intact this time. "Guan Lao Da didn't say anything else. He moved his arm and a faint green light appeared on his fist.
Gu Lao San, who was standing to the side, didn't try to stop him.
He moved his arm and his fist, which was glowing with green light, struck the youth's Dantian without a sound.
This attack used the Yin energy of a practitioner's weapon. Even though it didn't seem to have any power, it was enough to shatter the youth's internal organs and take his life in an instant.
Seeing this, Gu Lao San didn't care about the result. He turned around and continued to deal with the corpse of the "young master".
But at this moment, a surprised voice came from behind him:
"Impossible, this kid has Yuan Li. He really is a Spiritual Pulse user."
Guan Lao Da's voice trembled slightly.
Gu Lao San was shocked and quickly turned around to look.
He saw Guan Lao Da's gloved fist, but the light that was emitting from it had already disappeared.
On the abdomen of the unconscious youth, an almost invisible white halo appeared. It was faintly discernible and looked like it could dissipate at any time.
"Yuan Li protection, this kid really is a Spiritual Pulse user. It seems like he has a strong foundation in Yuan Li." Gu Lao San couldn't believe it.
"Haha, this time the heavens really do leave a way out. Gu Lao San, we don't need to go back to the Bai Clan now. With this kid here, we won't have to worry about our lives anymore. " Guan Lao Da stared blankly at the unconscious youth for a while. Then, he suddenly raised his head and laughed. His expression was somewhat crazy.
"Guan Lao Da, what do you mean? If this kid has a Spiritual Pulse, how can we keep our lives? "Gu Lao San blinked his eyes in confusion.
"Why does the Clan Head want to take our lives?" Guan Lao Da stopped laughing and immediately asked a question.
"Of course it's because the young master lost his life under our protection!" Gu Lao San was confused.
"Hehe, but isn't the young master here right now?" Guan Lao Da pointed at the unconscious youth in front of him and laughed coldly.
"What? You mean …" Gu Lao San was not stupid. He immediately came to a realization, but his face turned even paler than before.
"That's right, we'll use this tactic and bring this kid to the Barbarian Ghost Sect. When the time comes, we'll just throw him to the messenger and we can strut back to the Bai Clan and say that we've already delivered him. As long as the head receives a reply from the messenger, he won't have any doubts. This way, we'll be rewarded. "Guan Lao Da said calmly.
"That's really possible. This kid doesn't look exactly like the young master. What if he gives himself away? Furthermore, we don't know where he came from, why would he agree to this so easily? "Gu Lao San's face kept changing as he muttered.
"Hmph, what are you afraid of? Once this kid enters the sect, the Bai Clan won't be able to see him again for at least a few years. Furthermore, with how terrifying the Opening Spirit Ceremony is, without any special training, there's an eighty to ninety percent chance that he'll die. This way, we won't have to worry about him anymore. As for his appearance, don't forget what you used to rely on before you became a practitioner. He doesn't need to look exactly like the young master, just a little bit more will do. After all, the Sect only has an image of the young master from a year ago. It's normal for there to be some changes. "Guan Lao Da said confidently.
"But what if he really passes the Opening Spirit Ceremony and becomes a Spirit Apostle?" Gu Lao San was still a little hesitant.
"Become a Spirit Apostle? Could it be that you haven't woken up yet? In previous Opening Spirit Ceremonies, how many disciples from the Clans were able to become Spirit Apostles? Furthermore, when we get back, we'll think of a way to cure the poison from the Heart Nourishing Pill. Then, we'll find an opportunity to completely separate from the Bai Clan. Even if this brat really isn't dead, what does it have to do with us if he causes any trouble again? As long as the two of us get rid of the danger in front of us, everything else will be easy. As for convincing this kid, it'll be an easy task for us. Let's do this later … "Guan Lao Da said a few words before whispering something into Gu Lao San's ear.
