Chapter 903 - 689: Deathbringer Eagle
At this moment, a tall and thin elder of the Yang Family stood up and laughed loudly, "Yunqiao girl, since Mr. Shen has already given you a gift, just accept it! What kind of treasure makes you push it back and forth like this, making us old folks curious?"
Yang Yunqiao was at a loss, just lowering her head, not daring to respond.
Yang Shengguang lightly coughed and said in a deep voice, "It’s the inheritance of the new type Puppet Dog’s refining."
"Oh? This gift is indeed not light!"
The tall and thin elder nodded.
Yang Yunqiao is merely a Qi Cultivation Female Cultivator.
Mr. Shen offering such a heavy gift is most likely for the sake of the Yang Family.
Yang Yunzhao saw this and quietly added, "It’s not like the ones currently in the clan."
Upon hearing this, everyone’s hearts trembled.
It seems this "new type Puppet Dog" is more exquisite than the ones they had seen before.
Otherwise, why would the Patriarch and his son be so solemn, not daring to explain in detail publicly?
There were still several guests from other families present in the VIP lounge who, upon hearing this, were secretly amazed, but it was inconvenient to ask more questions.
Yang Yunzhao, being someone who recognizes the value, thanked Shen Xuan repeatedly, very humbly.
Shen Xuan merely nodded slightly and did not say much.
Seeing this scene, everyone was even more surprised and puzzled.
Thinking about it, they understood.
This mysterious Mr. Shen, it seems, is about to leave.
The Yang Family of Siming Mountain, after all, is merely a Core Formation family. How could they accommodate such a person?
During the banquet, the round-faced young girl couldn’t help it, frequently casting exploring glances towards Shen Xuan.
After three rounds of wine, Yang Yunqiao gathered her courage, picked up her wine glass, and walked to Shen Xuan’s seat.
Her cheeks slightly red, she softly said, "Brother Shen, I’m really happy you could come, Yunqiao toasts you a cup."
After speaking, she tilted her head back and drank the Spirit Wine in her cup completely, her face blushing more, her eyes like water, with cautious anticipation.
Shen Xuan did not get up.
He raised his eyes, looked calmly at the young girl, then silently drank his own cup of wine.
His demeanor was distant and clearly defined.
Yang Yunqiao’s eyes darkened, her fingertips slightly tightening.
Seeing this, the round-faced girl rolled her eyes, also holding her wine cup with a bright smile as she approached, "Brother Shen, I’m Yunqiao’s friend, Huang Liuyi from Luoyan Mountain. I toast you a cup too!"
She was just about to drink with both hands holding the cup.
Shen Xuan lightly flicked his sleeve.
In an instant, the Spirit Wine in Huang Liuyi’s cup silently evaporated, turning into a pale blue mist of wine, quietly dispersing in the air.
"No need."
Shen Xuan’s voice was calm.
"I am not adept at drinking."
He then stood up, gave a slight bow to everyone at the table, "My capacity for alcohol is shallow, I shall take my leave first. Everyone, see you again in the future."
After saying this, without waiting for Yang Yunzhao and his siblings to speak and try to detain him, he turned and walked straight out of the VIP lounge.
The blue figure passed through the courtyard and soon disappeared beyond the mansion gate under many gazes.
...
At dusk, Shen Xuan’s Cave Mansion.
"Brother Shen, are you really decided to leave?"
Yang Yunzhao stood in the hall and asked quietly.
Behind him stood Yang Yunqiao and Yang Yunsu, his siblings.
"Yes, it’s decided."
Shen Xuan’s tone was calm.
"Having settled in Siming Mountain for four years, it’s time to leave."
Seeing that his determination was firm, Yang Yunzhao didn’t try to persuade further.
Although he felt reluctant, he understood this was inevitable.
After all, Shen Xuan even gave the full refining inheritance of the new type Puppet Dog as a birthday gift to the Yang Family.
As long as the clan can cultivate qualified Tier Two Array Masters and Artifact Refiners, there will be an endless supply of such advantageous tools.
Three new type Puppet Dogs can match one Early Stage of Foundation Establishment cultivator.
This item is enough to become the future foundation of the Yang Family.
In Yang Yunzhao’s view, Shen Xuan lived in seclusion for four years, focusing on cultivation and the study of puppet techniques.
Now that his cultivation has reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, it is inevitable that he would prepare to break through to Core Formation.
Considering resources, environment, and safety, Siming Mountain is not an ideal place for Core Formation.
The guest Spirit Contract signed at the beginning was very loose, stating clearly "Shen Yan can terminate and leave at any time."
The intention of the Yang Family was to forge connections, not to bind.
"I have been cultivating for many years; my foundation is solid. The matter of condensing the Golden Core should not be delayed."
Shen Xuan confided, "To be honest, Yunzhao, I plan to head to Mingyan Immortal City, find a suitable place for cultivation, and then make further plans."
Yang Yunzhao was silent for a moment, pondering, "My Yang Family also has some business and connections in Mingyan Immortal City. Ten days later, after I finish handling my affairs, I can accompany Brother Shen, also for some care, how about it?"
"No need to trouble yourself."
Shen Xuan shook his head, "My preparations are complete, I will depart tomorrow."
Seeing this, Yang Yunzhao did not insist. He took out a Jade Scroll from his pocket and handed it over with both hands.
"Then, Brother Shen, take care on your journey. This scroll contains several locations and a roster of clansmen in Mingyan Immortal City. Should you need anything, you can seek their help at any time with this."
"Yunzhao, you are thoughtful."
Shen Xuan accepted the Jade Scroll.
Yang Yunzhao paused, glanced at his sister, who was standing silently with her head down, and gave a salute to Shen Xuan, "Brother Shen, my sister has some words she wishes to say to you alone."
With that, he gently pulled the unwilling Yang Yunsu aside and left the cave.
The stone door quietly closed, leaving only Shen Xuan and Yang Yunqiao standing quietly inside.
"Brother Shen, can you stay?"
Yang Yunqiao pinched the corner of her clothes, the tips of her fingers turning slightly white, her voice as light as a feather.
"I cannot."
Shen Xuan’s answer was without the slightest hesitation, firm and clear.
The girl’s chest heaved, and gathering the last bit of courage, she raised her head and looked directly at him, "What if Yunqiao hopes Brother Shen would stay?"
In her clear eyes, reflected the warm spiritual light of the cave mansion.
That gaze held reverence, expectation, a young girl’s desire, and many complicated emotions she didn’t even understand herself.
