The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop

Tianmiao couldn’t personally step in to handle it, because this world seemed to be under some kind of influence. Bater being such a bug wasn’t an accident, but something deliberately arranged by someone. Not only this Middle World, other small worlds and Middle Worlds had also undergone changes. If it wasn’t handled properly, this world would collapse. Collapse could be followed by rebuilding, but the wound it would leave on this world would be eternal.

Now that the native inhabitants of this world were doing the cleanup, it wouldn’t cause damage.

Xu Lang and the others acted as soon as they’d decided; after bidding farewell to Tianmiao, they set off that very night.

Tang Fengyue brought along the newly developed Crossbow and went with them.

Before Tang Fengyue left the house, Tianmiao gave him a Heart Protection Mirror. This Heart Protection Mirror was different from a traditional one; it was thinner and more solid.

”You must wear it.” Tianmiao instructed.

”Mm, mm, thank you, Boss Tian.” Tang Fengyue felt a warm current in his heart. He very much wanted to call Tianmiao ”Master.” But he knew Tianmiao wouldn’t agree, so he could only call him that silently in his heart.

Thus, Xu Lang, Shen Hanshu, Tang Fengyue, and Wudang’s Chief Disciple set off in the middle of the night.

Tianmiao stood at the tavern door, watching their figures disappear into the night, his eyes calm and deep.

”Xiao Yan.” Tianmiao suddenly spoke.

”Here.” Dugu Yan appeared behind Tianmiao without a sound.

”Follow them, and pick them up afterward.” Tianmiao said. ”With your current Martial Arts, you should be number one under heaven now.”

Dugu Yan froze, and said softly, ”I’m not even one-tenth of you; I’m not fit to be called number one under heaven.”

”I don’t belong to ’under heaven.’” Tianmiao turned around to look at the astonished Dugu Yan and said with a smile, ”Xiao Yan, your heart in pursuit of Martial Arts is purer than anyone’s. So you are destined to reach a height in Martial Arts that no one can match. You are the only one in this world who has any hope of entering the Broken Void.”

At that moment, Dugu Yan suddenly felt like his brain wasn’t working properly.

What was Boss Tian even talking about?

Not belonging to ’under heaven’?

Belonging to the heavens above?

Broken Void? Was it what he thought it meant?

”It’s exactly what you’re thinking. Above this world there are even greater worlds. There are people even stronger, and Martial Arts even stronger.” Tianmiao looked at the light in Dugu Yan’s eyes growing brighter and brighter, and smiled. ”Can you keep moving forward forever?”

”I can!” At that moment Dugu Yan felt the blood all over his body boiling; a broader world unfolded before his eyes.

”Good. Go meet up with Xu Lang and the others first. When you come back, I’ll tell you more in detail.” Tianmiao said softly.

”Then, are you... also from that greater world above?” Dugu Yan hesitated a moment, but still asked.

”No.” Tianmiao shook his head lightly.

”Then you’re from?” Dugu Yan was puzzled.

”From higher and greater than that world. I hope that one day you can stand shoulder to shoulder with me, and I hope that one day we can meet again. Up there.” Tianmiao smiled and lifted a finger to point upward.

”Definitely!” Dugu Yan’s gaze was firmer than ever before.

”Go on.” Tianmiao smiled.

Dugu Yan gave Tianmiao a deep bow, then turned as well and vanished into the night.

After Dugu Yan departed, Tianmiao said lightly, ”Come out.”

The next moment, a person appeared in front of Tianmiao.

”Boss Tian... no, perhaps I should call you God?” The one who appeared was Sheng Yulin. He looked at Tianmiao with a complicated expression and spoke slowly.

”You go help pick them up as well.” Tianmiao said.
