Chapter 131: Chapter 131 If I Stand Above the Eternities, To Share the Ages with You

"A genius from the Divine Hammer Hall of Divine Soldier’s Valley was delayed on the road, which is why she arrived a bit late."

With a faint smile on her lips, Wu Wan’er gracefully approached the bedside.

"Besides that, this time I have disturbed Brother Qin because I want to discuss the cooperation between the Imperial Court and the Beast Taming Sect."

"After all, the war in Tuzhou has not yet ceased, and joining hands to face the enemy together is the best way forward."

Liang Hui stood up and pointed to the table and chairs placed to the side.

"Sit!"

Once they both sat down, Liang Hui did not respond to the matter of cooperation.

HIs face showed impatience as he poured himself a cup of tea and drank.

"Who has Divine Soldier’s Valley sent? Do they not know to arrive earlier? Making us wait here."

"A woman named Tang Tang. When she arrives, Brother Qin can ask her himself."

"Don’t know about the matter of cooperation?"

Liang Hui set down the teacup in his hand, his face still showing some impatience.

"The Princess could send someone to negotiate with the Beast Taming Sect. I am but a Taoist Child who doesn’t even know if he can return, the words I speak cannot be counted on."

"Brother Qin, you are too modest."

"However, since there is no willingness to discuss, we should end this meeting."

Wu Wan’er’s face still held her smile, seemingly not dissatisfied by the turn of events.

Yet after her words fell, she stood up and slowly walked towards the door of the room.

Her silhouette gradually disappeared into the night.

Once Liang Hui sensed that the woman had completely left, he waved his hand and the room’s door closed.

He took out a wooden mask resembling a fox’s face from the storage space and examined it carefully.

In his eyes lingered a trace of memory, as if he returned to the secret realm outside Leiji City, seeing that green-robed figure.

He slowly placed the mask on his face.

Crack! Crack!

The sounds of bones shifting continuously emanated.

When the sounds ceased, the figure in the room disappeared as well.

...

Late at night.

Outside the Provincial City of Tuzhou.

In the forest.

A woman carrying a long-handled war hammer was rushing toward the city gates at high speed.

All obstacles in front of her, be it trees or stones, shattered upon getting close to her.

Suddenly, the woman halted her steps.

Her gaze intensely fixed on the slender figure leaning against a tree trunk nearby.

Not until she saw the fox mask on the figure’s face did she softly call out:

"Tai Yi!"

"It’s been a long time, Tang Tang."

The gentle words came from the figure.

Liang Hui stepped forward and arrived in front of the woman.

"You’ve reached the Marrow Refining Level, making good progress."

He was not offering flattery, advancing from the Bone Refining to the Marrow Refining Level in around a year; her pace of cultivation was already quite rapid.

Tang Tang’s tense muscles relaxed upon recognizing the young man.

She scrutinized Liang Hui carefully, trying to sense his Realm, all she could perceive was an immensely strong aura.

As vast as the sea, as lofty as mountains, and as sharp as a peerless sword.

"Compared to you, my progress is hardly worth mentioning."

Tang Tang chuckled lightly, her eyes brimming with joy.

She pointed to a nearby flat rock, suggesting they sit down to talk.

After the two sat down.

Tang Tang took out pastries and tea from her storage space and set them on the rock.

"Tai Yi, you must have been waiting for me."

Liang Hui nodded, picked up a pastry, and started to taste it.

After swallowing the pastry, he finally spoke:

"I remember that the chosen talents from the sects in the delegation are not well-regarded in their sects, but you are definitely not a marginal figure in Divine Soldiers Valley."

"Has something happened?"

Liang Hui, during his time with Tang Tang, gleaned from her few words that her situation in her sect was fairly good.

The woman in the green robe across from him flashed a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"During the Tuzhou Red Lotus Sect uprising, my master followed the main Weapon Master of the Rupture Sea Cetacean Hammer and fell in battle."

"I actively sought to join the delegation," he said.

"I wanted to achieve mastery over the Sea-Cracking Mystic Whale Hammer, which was Master’s lifelong pursuit," Tang Tang explained without concealment, laying out his thoughts.

"This trip to Chu Nation will be extremely dangerous, and I do not recommend that you participate," Liang Hui said as he reached out for another piece of pastry and began to taste it.

After chewing and swallowing, he picked up his teacup for a sip and then asked,

"Even if you win the right to wield the Sea-Cracking Mystic Whale Hammer, it will take a long time to be able to use it with your current strength, won’t it?"

"Ten years, or perhaps even longer," Tang Tang said, his face tinged with a trace of bitterness. To be a Weapon Master in Divine Soldiers Valley, one had to possess at least the strength of Qi meridians and entry into the Tao.

Liang Hui’s expression turned serious, and he stretched out his hand, fingers spread wide.

"Five years, at most five years, and not only will I get you the Sea-Cracking Mystic Whale Hammer, but any of the nine Divine Weapons from Divine Soldiers Valley that you want," he promised.

Tang Tang watched the youth’s serious expression, his eyes filled with complexity, unsure of what to say for a moment.

After a short pause, he finally sighed softly,

"Is this what they call an investment? The returns are unimaginable."

"I never forget the promises I make," Liang Hui said.

"In the future, should I stand above the eternal heavens, I will share the years with you!"

To the woman before him, who had shown him pure goodwill upon learning his true identity, he was never stingy.

Even now, he still remembered the loneliness during Marrow Refining, feeling that the whole world was vague and no one could be trusted, with everyone as an enemy.

"I’ve heard your promise. Be careful on your trip to Chu Nation," said Tang Tang, his words soft and caring.

"Sometimes, you should try to rest a bit. Don’t overdo it."

"I’ll pay attention," Liang Hui replied as he filled both of their teacups with the teapot and raised his cup.

Tang Tang did the same.

Clink!

"Safe travels on your return, I look forward to our next meeting."

"And you as well, take care!"

After draining his teacup, Tang Tang rose and walked back the way he had come.

His figure soon disappeared from sight.

Alone, Liang Hui sat on a rock, picking up the teapot to drink again.

Once the tea was finished,

Crash!

With a swing of his arm, the rock and the teaware atop it turned to dust.

The youth’s silhouette also vanished under the moonlight.

Back at the Provincial City Palace, Liang Hui arrived at his own dwelling, a frown lightly creasing his brow.

An unexpected figure stood at the door.

He strode forward to Qing Yi, his demeanor composed.

"Divine Maiden, to what do I owe the pleasure of your visit at this late hour?" he asked.

Qing Yi surveyed the young man closely with her beautiful eyes.

After a moment,

she handed over a red jade slip.

"The ’Vermilion Bird Rising Sun Fist,’ the Martial Arts Classic I had promised you, take it," she said.

"Thank you, Divine Maiden," Liang Hui took the jade slip, briefly reviewed its content, and then nodded slightly.

The woman nodded,

turned,

and departed into the distance.

...

The next day, at noon,

a golden streak of light tore across the sky of the Provincial City, heading towards the border of Chu Nation.

"Princess, we’re leaving now. Shall we not wait for our friends from Divine Soldiers Valley?" asked the peerless talent beside Wu Wan’er.

"We’ve waited long enough. It’s time to go," Wu Wan’er responded with a hint of helplessness visible on her lovely face.

Liang Hui leaned against a column in the palace, flipping through a book, not wasting any time on his cultivation.

Various discussions filled the air around him, but he had no interest in the exchanges between the scions of various sects.
