Chapter 1406 Purple Jade Slip

1406 Purple Jade Slip

”...”

”What happened here?”

The first thing Xu Jiaqi noticed when she walked through the portal was the condition of Senior Baiʼs world. There were still cracks all over the place, looking like it was on the verge of collapse.

Senior Bai rubbed his nose in a somewhat embarrassed manner and said, ”I wanted to test our young friend here and got a little carried away.”

He purposefully avoided giving her the details, as he didnʼt want to admit losing to Yuan, even using Immortal Qi by accident.

Fortunately for him, Xu Jiaqi was not interested in their business and did not question further. She looked at Yuan with a narrowed gaze, as if she was examining him.

A subtle smile appeared on her face a moment later, and she spoke in a calm voice, ”Youʼve grown strong, Yuan.”

”Thank you, Miss Xu!”

She descended on the platform and retrieved a purple jade slip from her spatial ring, offering it to Yuan.

”What is this?” he asked.

”This was left behind by the Founder of the Celestial Overlords,” she said.

”He gave it to me before he disappeared, but I do not know how to use it. Why donʼt you try it? Perhaps it can only be activated by those with the Heaven Refining Physique. If it how to use it. Why donʼt you try it? Perhaps it can only be activated by those with the Heaven Refining Physique. If it doesnʼt work, I want it back, you hear me?”

Yuan nodded and accepted the purple jade slip from her.

The moment his fingers made contact with it, the purple jade slip emitted a radiant glow, casting a luminous sheen of purple light that enveloped the surroundings.

Yuan became dazed as memories started flowing inside his head. Inside the memories, he saw himself traveling the world with a cute little girl by his side. This little girl was a troublemaker and always picked fights with people. Most importantly, he also recalled the process of evolving his Heaven Refining Physique.

Yuan snapped out of his daze a few moments later.

”Yuan? What just happened?” Seeing that heʼd returned to reality, Xu Jiaqi asked him.

Hearing her voice, Yuan turned to look at Xu Jiaqi, who greatly resembled the little girl in his memories, and he subconsciously muttered, ”You mischievous little brat…”

”W-wha—” Xu Jiaqiʼs expression froze with a clear look of shock on her face.

”Y-Yuan… you…” Senior Bai looked at Yuan with a terrified look on his face.

”Uh… I…” Yuan just realized what heʼd uttered and quickly covered his mouth.

”What did you just call me…?” Xu Jiaqi asked after a moment of silence, her body trembling.

”S-sorry, I didnʼt mean to call you that… I was still influenced by the memories inside the jade slip when I said that… You look like someone from the memories,” Yuan swallowed nervously, mentally preparing himself for her wrath.

”By memories, you mean the jade slip contained the founderʼs memories…?” Xu Jiaqi inquired with a serious expression on her face.

He nodded, ”I believe so.”

”Tell me everything you saw and I will forgive you for the rude remarks,” she then said.

”Of course.”

Xu Jiaqi suddenly turned to look at Senior Bai and said, ”Leave us alone.”

”I understand.” Senior Bai didnʼt even question it and immediately left them alone.

Yuan spent the next several minutes recalling the memories.

As she listened with her eyes closed, Xu Jiaqiʼs mind drifted back into the past and recalled her own memories with the founder.

”You mischievous little brat, what have you done this time?” A handsome man sighed as he glanced at the beautiful young girl before him.

Xu Jiaqi, who was only around 16 years old, spoke in a nonchalant voice, ”Some loser confessed his love for me, so I beat him up.”

The handsome man rubbed his eyes and said, ”How many times do I have to tell you to not beat your fellow disciples over the smallest things? And whatʼs wrong with one expressing their feelings to you?”

”Itʼs annoying,” she calmly said.

”Donʼt you used to utter the words ʼI love youʼ a dozen times a day?” The handsome man glared at her.

Xu Jiaqiʼs face flushed red as she hastily responded, ”T-That was years ago when I was still an innocent baby! Ouch!”

Xu Jiaqi suddenly cried out in pain when the handsome man flickered her forehead.

”Youʼre still a baby, though.”

Xu Jiaqi held her forehead while trying to appear angry, but the handsome man only found her even more adorable.

”Go apologize to that disciple,” he then said.

”But—”

”No buts. Or would you rather spend a month in seclusion?”

”...”

”I hate you, father!” Xu Jiaqi shouted as she stormed outside the room.

Sometime later, Yuan said, ”Thatʼs all.”

Xu Jiaqi opened her eyes and realized they were unnaturally moist and foggy. She quickly wiped her eyes and said, ”Thereʼs no mistaking it. The memories within the jade slip belong to the founder of the Celestial Overlords—my adoptive father.”

”I thought it would help you with your physique, but it turned out to be completely irrelevant. Sorry.”

Yuan shook his head and said, ”Actually, I did learn something about my physique from these memories, so it was definitely very useful. Thank you, Miss Xu.”

”Is that so? Thatʼs good to hear.”

Xu Jiaqi then narrowed her eyes at him and continued in a cold voice, ”By the way, you are forbidden from sharing those memories with anyone, do you hear me?”

Yuan smiled, ”Please donʼt worry, Miss Xu. I will bring these memories with me to my grave. And who would I even share them with?”

”I will trust you. Do you have any questions for me before I take my leave?” she then asked.

Yuan pondered for a moment before asking, ”What sort of privileges do I get as a General in the faction?”

”Youʼve already reached the rank of General?” Xu Jiaqiʼs eyes widened at his words.

”Yes.”

He showed the General symbol to her as proof.

Xu Jiaqi was left speechless.

”W-well... as a General, you are entitled to one treasure from our treasury. Would you like to receive your reward now?” she asked.

Yuan immediately nodded and said, ”I would!”
