Chapter 269: Chapter 138: Annihilate His Entire Family and Qi’s Dilemma (Please Subscribe)_2

The National Master Cheng Yuxiao gently tapped the table with his finger and said, "More than twenty years ago, I too was in the Star Casting Realm, I too refined and controlled the Fire Radiant Star Domain!

I could, so can Xu Jin!

This merit is derived from being trapped in a desperate situation, where death is almost certain, and killing enemies to quell rebellion!

This merit is about sacrificing oneself for the country, and killing enemies!

This merit being bestowed upon Xu Jin is the foundation of our Dachen, the cornerstone of the Da Chen National Daoist School!

The Fire Radiant Star Domain belongs to Xu Jin forever unless one day he chooses to pass it on to someone else or due to some other accident!

Anyone from the Da Chen National Daoist School who dares to covet Xu Jin, I will personally cleanse our ranks, have you all understood?" National Master Cheng Yuxiao said gently.

In an instant, the entire Autumn Examination Secret Realm fell silent once more.

Strength, the ability of National Master Cheng Yuxiao to head the National Taoist Institute, came not only from mentorship but also from strength.

Already distinguished more than twenty years ago!

Not to mention now.

"I and others will heed the National Master’s command!" The upper echelons of the Da Chen National Daoist School, left with no choice, voiced their complex sentiments.

With the National Master stepping in to protect Xu Jin’s control over the Fire Radiant Star Domain, the matter was settled.

It was a pity that the enormous wealth ended up in the hands of Xu Jin, an obscure man.

"State Preceptor, I must say something," Supervisor Chen Liao suddenly spoke up.

"Speak."

"State Preceptor, our institute is united in purpose and action, but once the news spreads, I’m afraid there might be issues in the court," Supervisor Chen Liao said.

"It doesn’t matter."

National Master Cheng Yuxiao waved his hand, stroking his long hair and said softly, "When it’s time to declare the merits, I will handle it! If anyone dares harm Xu Jin or coerce him because of this, successful or not, I’ll personally intervene―and exterminate his entire family!"

His voice was soft but full of deadly intent.

All the high-ranking officials of the Da Chen National Daoist School were chilled.

The warning from the National Master was indeed full of murderous intent!

Some even began to speculate whether the National Master intended to take Xu Jin as a disciple.

Or perhaps there was another type of relation?

An illegitimate son?

And so forth.

But there were also those who understood the National Master.

This was also for the fundamental benefit of the Da Chen National Daoist School.

If a great merit earned through life and death by Xu Jin could be so easily snatched away, the morale of Dachen’s people would completely dissipate.

In the future, would there still be disciples willing to sacrifice for the Da Chen National Daoist School?

Would there still be people willing to sacrifice for Dachen?

"Today’s discussion ends here. No spreading the information before I declare it in the court! Whoever does, will face school sanction," National Master Cheng Yuxiao said, his final words directed at Supervisor Chen Liao.

"Understood," Supervisor Chen Liao stood and bowed, his eyes sweeping warningly over the other high-ranking officials of the institute.

At this point, Dong Zhao and Ning Yuchan finally relaxed.

With such arrangements by the National Master, Xu Jin’s situation seemed not so dangerous anymore.

After some time, once Xu Jin’s cultivation level rapidly increased and broke through to the late Star Refining Realm, it wouldn’t be so perilous.

"Silly girl, what are you crying for? I’m back safe and sound!"

"Still crying? You’ve cried yourself into a big mess."

...

Upon returning home and seeing his sister Jiang’er, she threw herself into his arms and sobbed uncontrollably.

"Look at this silly girl. Your brother has been taken in for secret cultivation by a teacher from the institute, that’s a good thing, what are you crying about?" Xu Jin’s clothes were soaked from her tears, and seeing this, their father Xu Dajiang could no longer stand idly by and came over to comfort Jiang’er.

"I just missed brother," Jiang’er said, wiping her tears, yet her face was full of fear.

The Mingji Star Pattern sensed Jiang’er’s emotions dominated by fear, while Old Qi Xu Dajiang’s emotions were quite stable.

Xu Jin understood then. Ning Yuchan’s words had likely fooled his father, Xu Dajiang, but not Jiang’er.

Jiang’er, smart since childhood and now exposed to cultivation matters, having her own thoughts was quite normal.

"Brother, I’ll heat up some water for your bath, get you clean clothes, and then make you some delicious food."

Jiang’er’s reminder made Xu Jin sniff himself and realize he indeed reeked.

"Go take a bath and change your clothes; you stink to high heaven!"

"And you were still hugging and crying for so long!" Xu Jin joked.

"Ugh!"

Calculating the dates, Xu Jin entered the Fire Radiant Star Domain on August 8 and came out today, August 20, spending a total of thirteen days.

After bathing, changing into clean clothes, and eating a big meal made by Jiang’er, Xu Jin returned to his room. Seeing no news on the Star-picking Order, he placed two newly acquired Refining God Golden Pills inside the Star Lamp for nourishment, then promptly fell asleep.

He had slept in the Fire Radiant Star Domain as well, and after refining the Red Scale Heart, it felt somewhat like home.

Yet, it couldn’t compare to his real home.

That deep sense of security relaxed every one of the 480 million pores in Xu Jin’s body, allowing the fatigue accumulated from the battles to surface.

That sleep lasted eight two-hour periods.

When Xu Jin woke up, his Mingji Star Pattern sensed Ning Yuchan’s presence.

She was sitting cross-legged on a nearby rooftop.

She must have watched over him all night.

Once Ning Yuchan realized Xu Jin was awake, she quickly left, and as she did, she sent a Starlight Transmission to Xu Jin, "Xu Jin, you rest at home in the morning, and come to the Taoist Institute in the afternoon to see the Mountain Master for an important matter.

If there is any danger, send me an urgent message, and I will be there within three to five breaths."

Ning Yuchan still thought Xu Jin didn’t know she had just left, hence she deliberately sent a Starlight Transmission.
