Chapter 1033: Chapter 1033: Parting Gift

The red-faced elder didn’t say a word.

He opened the stone door.

With one kick, he sent Jiang Fan flying out.

"Scram!"

"Get as far away as possible!"

"Don’t let me see you again!"

He had seen many shameless people.

But this kind of malicious shamelessness was a once-in-a-lifetime sight!

"And you wanted me to refine an artifact for you? A top-grade spiritual artifact?"

"Dream on!"

Jiang Fan flew out of the underground palace.

If not for his agility, he would have landed flat on his face.

He rubbed his buttocks, pouting, "Fine, don’t refine it then, stingy!"

But when he looked up.

He saw the Fire Worship Sect Leader, Qian Lan Fairy, Yun Huo, and others all present.

They stared at Jiang Fan in bewilderment.

Yun Huo looked oddly at him and asked, "What happened to you?"

Jiang Fan straightened up and said nonchalantly, "The senior personally sent me out, his hand lost strength."

"No worries, I forgive the senior."

Uh!

Is it really true?

Yun Huo didn’t think much of it, and said gratefully, "Thanks to you this time."

"Otherwise, I would have perished within the fire pillar."

Recollecting it now still filled him with dread.

Upon learning Jiang Fan was taken by the senior, he rushed over, ready to plead for him.

Qian Lan Fairy weighed a cleaver in her hand, snorting, "Yun Huo, speak quickly."

"I’m going to chop him to death."

She glared fiercely at Jiang Fan, seething with anger.

Yun Huo coughed dryly, "Qian Lan, calm down."

"With such a big son, think how many years you’ve saved from detours."

Qian Lan Fairy’s willow leaf eyebrows were raised, brandishing the cleaver as if ready to chop him too.

Yun Huo quickly said, "Alright, alright, I’ll finish right away."

He took a crystal ball from his sleeve, inside it a green flame flickering quietly:

"This is our Fire Worship Sect’s unique source fire."

"It has the effect of inducing a heavenly tribulation; take it back to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."

Originally intended for his disciples.

Now, it could only first be used to return Jiang Fan’s favor.

Oh?

A chance for tribulation?

Jiang Fan’s face lit up with joy, especially in the current background of the Ancient Giant’s arrival, such opportunities were nearly depleted.

Haven’t seen a big strong player like Song Lingyu pretending to be dead like a defaulter, right?

Its value is beyond imaginable.

"Don’t be polite, accept it." Yun Huo might have felt pained too, but compared to life, these external possessions were insignificant.

Jiang Fan hesitated a moment, but still accepted it, cupping his fists:

"Senior Yun Huo, at the grand ceremony of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, please be sure to attend with Senior Qian Lan."

"I also have a grand gift for you."

He planned to gift a Dragon Marrow Seed, intending to elevate their realms to the next level.

Before Yun Huo could agree, Qian Lan Fairy’s cleaver had already swung down.

"You still want to return to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?"

"Wanna go back lying down!"

Jiang Fan laughed heartily, quickly hugging the Little Qilin, retrieving the Heavenly Thunder Stone he had hidden.

Then made a Cloud Shadow retreat.

The Fire Worship Sect Leader stretched out his hand, wanting to stop Jiang Fan to question the Netherworld Ghost Fire’s whereabouts.

In the next moment, he withdrew his hand.

Once in the hands of the senior, who dared to take it, could Jiang Fan still retrieve it?

Too bad about that mighty Holy Fire.

Outside the Fire Worship Sect, market plaza.

"Senior Sister Yu, stop watching, let’s go."

"This matter can no longer be interfered with by you."𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Ma Qingyan urged the reluctant Yu Peiyuan.

They had witnessed Jiang Fan being chased deep into the Fire Worship Sect by several strong players, never to emerge.

When inquired, it was learned Jiang Fan was taken away by a mysterious senior.

Yu Peiyuan bit her red lip lightly, worried in her heart.

Jiang Fan had no background, he would surely suffer loss, right?

Noticing her gaze, Ma Qingyan said with a hint of rebuke, "Worry about yourself!"

"Returning no Holy Fire at all, if I were Senior Qi Yin, I wouldn’t find any reason to let you attempt another tribulation."

"Your life might just remain as a Left Dao Nascent Soul."

"After returning, find an excuse, seek a good task from Senior Qi Yin, and comfortably live your life."

"Don’t let him come looking for you, or it’ll be embarrassing for both."

Yu Peiyuan silently lowered her head.

For disciples unable to attempt tribulation, elders would not keep them by their side all the time.

They would be sent to manage markets, mines, secret realms, and other places under the Heaven and Sea Pavilion’s jurisdiction.

Bringing back no Holy Fire, Yu Peiyuan might utterly disappoint Senior Qi Yin.

Rather than being sent away by Senior Qi Yin, better to take the initiative herself.

Both parties tacitly understood, sparing each other’s face.

Other disciples accompanying them showed a slight dimming in their eyes.

Those who once envied Yu Peiyuan’s tribulation chance, found no pleasure in her predicament.

For Yu Peiyuan’s present mirrored the future for most.

The Ninth Layer Perfection stood as the martial endpoint for most prodigies.

"Yu, if you hadn’t handed over the Holy Fire Order, Senior Qi Yin has always appreciated you, maybe you’d still have a second tribulation chance."

"Words like this needn’t be said anymore; Yu, to be sent away might yet be a stable path, at least you won’t fret over tribulation successes and failures."

"Indeed, we might all accompany you there in the future."

"You’re just going a step ahead."

...

Listening to everyone’s comfort, Yu Peiyuan grew even more saddened.

But she regretted nothing.

Because at least she remained honorable, favored with no burden of owing.

"Thank you all, I’m alright."

"Let’s go..."

Whoosh!

At this moment.

A thunderbolt flashed overhead, Jiang Fan hurriedly raced over:

"Senior Sister Yu, please wait."

Yu Peiyuan looked up, showing a relieved smile:

"As long as you are okay, then I have no worries anymore."

The leading elder from Heaven and Sea Pavilion glanced at Jiang Fan expressionlessly, speaking in a sarcastic tone:

"Are you here to compensate my disciple?"

Evidently, he was dissatisfied with Jiang Fan for occupying Yu Peiyuan’s Holy Fire Order.

Currently did not welcome his arrival.

Jiang Fan cupped his fists and said, "Senior, please allow me a few words with Senior Sister Yu."

Yu Peiyuan showed a pleading expression to the elder.

The elder snorted, "Speak briefly."

Yu Peiyuan quickly ran over, concerned, "Did the senior from the Fire Worship Sect trouble you?"

"Did the Great Yin Sect Master’s palm leave you badly injured?"

"Had I known the Holy Fire Order would bring you so much trouble, I shouldn’t have given it to you."

Jiang Fan gazed at the pure-hearted girl before him, a warm smile spreading across his face.

"Senior Sister Yu, live more for yourself."

"I hope that during the chaotic era of the Ancient Giant’s arrival, you can pass safely."

Such a hint of farewell moved Yu Peiyuan deeply.

She choked slightly, "Junior Brother Jiang, the same to you."

"Take care of yourself."

This farewell, perhaps they would struggle to meet again.

Jiang Fan sighed and said, "I’ll give you a small parting gift."

"Extend your hand."

A trace of surprise appeared in Yu Peiyuan’s eyes, a little excitement, maybe?

She extended her palm.

Jiang Fan placed two items into her palm.

Before she could see them, he closed her fingers, saying, "Look after I’m gone."

He circulated thunder around himself.

Waving with a smile, he said, "Take care, Senior Sister Yu."

"We’ll meet again in the world."

Instantly, he transformed into a thunderbolt, vanishing.

Yu Peiyuan stood stunned, eyes brimming with tears.

How many goodbyes in the world never reunited again?

Ma Qingyan shook his head, "Caused Senior Sister Yu such harm, just walks away like that."

"Senior Sister Yu, let’s go."

Yu Peiyuan wiped away her tears, a stinging sensation on her cheek where the skin brushed.

Only then did she realize that a golden tip poked out of her clenched fist.
