Zhang San, please behave yourself!
Chapter 423 - 398: Retrieving the Gold Seal, Honoring Mother’s Grace

Chapter 423: Chapter 398: Retrieving the Gold Seal, Honoring Mother’s Grace

At that moment, Zhang San felt the white flames penetrate his body, experiencing an unprecedented... clarity.

Zhang San didn’t know whether there was something wrong with himself or if there was something amiss with the other party’s curse.

Although he indeed felt something enter his body, he felt nothing; if he had to describe it, it was as if his perception of everything around him had become slightly clearer.

And then, there was nothing.

Zhang San even took a special look inside his body and found that it hadn’t suffered any impact.

Zhang San didn’t understand what exactly the other party was, and what kind of curse they had released.

At this time, the Pharaoh was just pursuing southward, almost reaching the location, only to discover a beam of white light shooting into the sky and then falling on the west side of Daxing City.

Although the Pharaoh had seen Zhang San, retrieving three tenths of the Great Sui’s Qi Luck was now more important, so the Pharaoh had no choice but to leave Zhang San behind and head west.

In the west of Daxing City, in a forest, there was a small wooden cabin, and Master Ma sat on a rocking chair, watching the full moon in the sky, symbolizing reunion.

He had originally come to see Zhang San, but after hearing about Zhang San’s situation, he started to worry that meeting Zhang San might add more troubles to him.

After all, he was also very likely involved with the matters of the Yuwen Imperial Clan.

Sure enough, at that moment, a beam of white light descended from the sky, transforming into a little boy shining with dazzling white light.

"Is it you who has been calling me?"

Master Ma asked the little boy.

The little boy looked at Master Ma, a cold murderous intent flashing through his eyes.

In an instant, the third eye in Master Ma’s forehead opened.

At that moment, the little boy felt a powerful aura suppressing his body, which was still not fully formed.

Thousand Mechanisms Path Qi Luck!

The man indeed carried the Qi Luck of the Thousand Mechanisms Path, and it seemed his position within it was not low.

Thus, the little boy smiled slightly at Master Ma and said with a bow, "Yuwen Ming of Northern Zhou, I have seen Master Ma. It was not me who called you, but an ally in another world."

Upon hearing that the other party was from the Yuwen Imperial Clan, Master Ma let out a cold laugh and took out a bag, saying, "You’ve come to me for this, have you? But this item, you Yuwen Imperial Clan lost it to me in a bet; surely you aren’t planning to just take it back."

Yuwen Ming glanced at the bag in Master Ma’s hand, already perceiving the shape of a square seal within.

"Originally, when the Yuwen Imperial Clan made a bet with you, if you could open it and take out what was inside within a hundred years, it meant the Yuwen Imperial Clan had lost. It seems you truly deserve the reputation."

"Given that, as per the agreement, these are yours now."

Yuwen Ming said, raising his hand as two beams of white light coalesced into two jade scrolls, slowly flying towards Master Ma.

Master Ma looked at the two jade scrolls.

The jade scroll on the left was inscribed with "Heavenly Attraction Forging Divine Method," a secret technique he knew to greatly strengthen one’s soul.

The jade scroll on the right was inscribed with "Heavenly Hundred Wood Seals Method," which must be the collection of Wood Seal Techniques from Northern Zhou.

It was said that the Azure Dragon Principal Officer of the Town Martial Office had received this inheritance and had been deeply studying it.

"Since this is the case, this item from your Yuwen Imperial Clan is of no use to me; I shall return it to you."

Master Ma directly threw the bag to him.

Yuwen Ming stretched out his hand to catch the bag, opening it to look inside.

About the size of half a hand, its material resembled uncarved jade, and its texture was like deer hoof.

It was indeed it!

"Farewell."

After the little boy finished speaking, he turned into a streak of white light and sped away around Daxing City toward the northeast.

Master Ma stowed away the two jade scrolls, exhaling deeply.

He had finally managed to send that trouble away.

If Great Sui found out that he held that thing, they would surely flay him alive.

Fortunately, no one knew.

They shouldn’t know, right?

Just as Master Ma had settled back into his rocking chair, a streak of light sped toward him from afar. The Pharaoh landed beside him and shouted, "Why are you here? Did you just see a little boy fall from the sky?"

"I’m not his acquaintance; why would he land here?"

The less trouble the better, so Master Ma did not tell the truth.

The Pharaoh could tell Master Ma was not being truthful, but, being old friends, he knew Master Ma had his reasons for withholding information.

Thus, he could only deploy the Rune Array himself, quickly setting up a formation around them to start tracing.

Indeed, as a multitude of runes appeared in the air around them, the Pharaoh discovered tracks leading northeast.

"This is wrong! It’s fake!"

The Pharaoh was about to move when he realized that although the person appeared to be heading northeast around Daxing City, he had actually returned halfway to the Capital.

Could it be, he still had something to do inside the Capital?

"Old buddy, the Capital has been unstable lately. My disciple, your student Zhang San, might be in trouble again."

Upon hearing his student was in danger, Master Ma immediately stood up from the rocking chair and said, "You can’t be serious! I just received a Wooden Seal inheritance and was planning to learn it before giving it to him!"

"Why not just give it to him straight away and skip learning it?"

After making a light-hearted comment, the Pharaoh added seriously, "If it comes to it, I’ll fully reveal his identity as my closed-door disciple. That should at least keep him safe!"

"Forget it! Being an heir of Legalism, wouldn’t the Heavenly Punishment Sect hunt him daily? I’ll go talk to Kaihuang, say I’ll join Great Sui’s Ministry of Works, to save Zhang San’s life."

The Pharaoh scoffed and coldly snorted, "My disciple doesn’t need your protection!"

Having said that, the Pharaoh soared into the sky and flew back toward the Capital to continue searching for the resurrected Yuwen Ming.

At that moment, inside the Yu family mansion, Lady Yu, who was embroidering, suddenly pricked her finger.

Lady Yu raised her head and glanced outside.

By her side, Lady Yu softly asked, "Lady Yu, what’s wrong?"

Lady Yu quickly stood up and walked towards the outside, speaking with a mix of excitement and panic, "I feel it, he’s returned, my child has returned! Ming, Ming is..."

Lady Yu pushed open the door of the room and noticed a small boy emanating white light slowly floating down from mid-air.

His appearance, his gaze, was undoubtedly her Ming.

The moment she saw the small boy, Lady Yu also felt something trembling within her bloodline.

The old woman in the Purple Mansion Realm, who had been guarding the door, immediately stepped in front of Lady Yu the moment she saw the boy, cautioning, "Madam, be careful. Although he looks exactly like your child, even though he has been resurrected, he is not of the human race anymore. Now, he is more like..."

Bang!

Before the old woman could finish, under the boy’s glare, she was struck down by a powerful force, collapsing to the ground, spitting blood, unable to continue speaking.

"Mom, it’s me, I... have returned..."

As the boy spoke, he approached Lady Yu, knelt down, and began to kowtow.
