Chapter 833 - The Swordsmans Legacy
The instrument spirit’s honesty also renders Gao Ge somewhat more informed.
Actually, the instrument spirit’s request is not too demanding.
Besides, it doesn’t need his special search but a bit of attention.
From where the instrument spirit stands, the immortal skeleton is actually the most suitable. Besides, if the instrument spirit can really get into the immortal skeleton and come back to life, it will have a high starting point.
However, the immortal skeleton has become Gao Ge’s. Even if Gao Ge is willing to give the immortal skeleton to the instrument spirit, the latter cannot take it away. Besides, Gao Ge won’t give it away anyway. He doesn’t know why such an immortal skeleton appears in his star map but he feels that it is meant to be. Maybe this thing will be of use one day. Moreover, his sixth star map has taken shape. Perhaps, when his cultivation level drops to the realm of Master or even Qi-condensing and the star map vanishes completely, the immortal skeleton can be taken out of him. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to sever their link.
Shortly, Meng Jing also enters the room.
Upon seeing Gao Ge wakes up, Meng Jing bursts into tears with delight.
Gao Ge has lain in bed for one month, during which Meng Jing has also stayed by his bed all the time.
“You are finally awake...” Meng Jing directly throws herself into his arms with tears on her face.
Gao Ge strokes her hair gently and can’t think of any words to comfort her for now.
“Wow. This is really not good timing.” A familiar voice comes from the door.
Gao Ge turns to look at the door in surprise.
“You are done?” Gao Ge asks with thrill.
Yue Xincheng grins.
“Boss, I don’t like the way you put it. It sounds like I’m screwed.” Yue Xincheng rolls his eyes, “You’ve just woken up. I’ll leave you to chat now. I’ll come by later.”
Then, he immediately turns around and gets out before Gao Ge makes any reply.
He is good at reading the room.
He knows that Gao Ge and Meng Jing must have a lot to talk about now.
After an hour more or less, Meng Jing finally comes out with red eyes.
“Don’t sit at the door. Go inside,” Meng Jing says.
“Haha. Okay.” Yue Xincheng stands up, stretches himself and goes into the room again.
They haven’t seen each other for one month or two. Yue Xincheng looks a lot more tanned this time.
At the same time, he looks stronger now.
“Boss, I was really astonished to hear Meng Jing talk about what you had suffered. I heard that you were almost dead.” Yue Xincheng sits by the bed. The moment he takes out the cigarette, Meng Jing casts an angry glance at him.
Yue Xincheng coughs and hastens to put the cigarette pack back.
“Yeah. I’m fine. I’ve been through it anyway,” Gao Ge laughs and says, “You can come back too?”
Yue Xincheng’s eyes become slightly dimmer and then he shakes his head.
“Not yet.”
“Um?” Gao Ge is a bit taken aback, “I thought your training was over.”
“Yes, it was. However, I need to complete a mission,” Yue Xincheng says.
Gao Ge frowns.
He is a bit disgruntled.
He was so anxious when Meng Jing was asked to carry out that dangerous mission before.
Judging from Yue Xincheng’s current facial expression, Gao Ge figures that his mission won’t be safer than the one Meng Jing carried out before.
Seeing Gao Ge’s disgruntled face, Yue Xincheng immediately guesses what Gao Ge is thinking about and hastens to say, “This is not the mission assigned by the Dragon Court. Although I’ve learned about the mission from Lord Horn Dragon, I request taking it on my own.”
“What is the mission?” Gao Ge asks.
Yue Xincheng doesn’t answer him at once. Gao Ge heaves a sigh and says, “If you can’t tell me, I won’t insist then. Is it dangerous?”
Yue Xincheng shakes his head and says, “Actually, it is fine to tell you. It’s not a big deal. I’ll go to find a legacy.”
“A legacy?”
“Yes, the legacy of a strong cultivator. That cultivator is dead but he has left his lifelong saber method. It seems to be situated in the Western Border Region. If I can find it, my saber skills will be further improved for sure. On the contrary, if I can’t, I will also come back as soon as possible.”
Having heard Yue Xincheng’s words, Gao Ge nods.
Indeed, he can feel that Yue Xincheng can’t wait to become stronger.
In fact, he also agrees with Yue Xincheng’s thought.
This is his buddy, not his lackey.
Hence, of course he hopes that his buddy can become stronger as soon as possible.
“Boss, I’m only a step from the realm of Master,” Yue Xincheng says grinningly.
Gao Ge also laughs.
Actually, he can feel it even if Yue Xincheng doesn’t point it out.
Yue Xincheng’s current Qi has reached a high level. As long as he finds an opportunity, entering the realm of Master is just around the corner.
“Anyway, you are going to set up your own sect. After I come back, there will be two cultivators at the realm of Master in our sect. Who dares to take our sect lightly?” Yue Xincheng says in high spirits, “So, I only hope that I can be of help rather than a drag on you when I come back.”
Seeing that Gao Ge wants to say something, Yue Xincheng just continues talking, “Boss, I know what you want to say. I know in your heart, I can never be a drag on you. However, I just cannot help thinking in this way. You know, even Meng Jing, who used to be the weakest among us, has acquired the lucky chance and gained the residual soul of the green phoenix. What about me? I cannot rely on you to protect me anymore. In the past, it would be fine if I was not strong enough. After all, you would get me covered. Nevertheless, since I’ve got an opportunity, of course I must give it a shot.”
Then, Yue Xincheng stands up.
“Be careful,” Gao Ge stays quiet for a while and says resignedly with a sigh.
Yue Xincheng feels even more delighted.
Actually, he has thought through it before he told Gao Ge about it.
If Gao Ge set himself against this, Yue Xincheng would give it up then.
Regardless, he won’t disobey Gao Ge.
Gao Ge’s current reply means that he has agreed, which leaves Yue Xincheng no scruples then.

“Rest assured. Boss, when I come back, let’s continue having fun!” Yue Xincheng says grinningly.
They communicate through eye contact. Shortly, Yue Xincheng turns around and leaves.
Outside the door, Horn Dragon looks as if having waited for a long time.
“He has agreed?” Horn Dragon asks.
“Yes,” Yue Xincheng answers with a smile.
Horn Dragon snorts and seems a bit unhappy, “This is your own business. In my opinion, whether he agrees or not, it shouldn’t interfere with your decision.”
Yue Xincheng suddenly pulls a long face.
“Lord Horn Dragon, you are kind of my half-master but I still don’t want you to say that. Without my boss, I might have been dead many times. In my heart, he is my brother. He has done a lot of things that Yue Tuzhi never does for me. No matter what he says, I know it is for my own good...”
Before Yue Xincheng finishes talking, Horn Dragon interrupts him with a wave of the hand impatiently.
“Enough. Let’s get going. I cannot hear any more of this from you...”
