After leaving the Liu family, Jiang Yuan rushed back to the Oath Base. If he guessed correctly, Shi Xuyao and Lin Man had brought back the artifact tablet, and he needed to understand the specifics.
"Captain, why do I always run into you at the door?"
As soon as Jiang Yuan entered, he ran into Leng Yue, and the scene was just like last time.
"Shi Xuyao and the others are back, right?" Jiang Yuan got straight to the point.
"Yes, I just got back not long ago!" Leng Yue nodded, then asked suspiciously, "Hey, I heard from Shi Xuyao and the others that you're getting very close to that second young lady from the Liu family, is that true?"
"Are you going out now? Or take me to see Shi Xuyao, and we'll have a meeting of all of us who have made a vow!" Jiang Yuan avoided Leng Yue's question.
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry anyway!"
Leng Yue was simply hunting monsters under the cover of night; she had no urgent business.
“That stone tablet!” Jiang Yuan’s gaze was drawn to a stone tablet in the center of the base. He asked, “Is this what Shi Xuyao and the others brought back?”
"That's right!"
After saying that, Liu Zhaodi pointed to a group of residential areas behind her, "I've arranged for the people of Yanshan Village to stay. Should I go and call them?"
"No need, Shi Xuyao and Lin Man are already waiting for me at the artifact tablet!"
Jiang Yuan hurried toward the artifact tablet, and when he appeared at the base, Ning Yanlan and Xiao Pang also sensed his presence and were already on their way.
Sure enough, when Jiang Yuan arrived at the artifact monument, all the key members of the oath had already gathered.
"Master, are you alright?" Shi Xuyao rushed over to greet Jiang Yuan as soon as he appeared, his expression filled with excitement.
"Very well, but it's you who suffered because I didn't provide timely support!"
Jiang Yuan saw Lin Man, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying.
“Her cousin died in battle, so…” Shi Xuyao’s tone also became somber.
"Sigh, there's nothing I can do but accept reality!" Jiang Yuan sighed. This world is inherently cruel; even beloved siblings require immense strength to protect.
"By the way, Master, I took it upon myself to bring all the people from Yanshan Village here. You won't blame me, will you?" Shi Xuyao asked nervously.
Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment and asked, "Has something happened at Yanshan Village?"
Logically speaking, Yanshan Village has abundant mining resources, so it's impossible for them to leave. The fact that the entire village is migrating now can only prove one thing: Yanshan Village has encountered an insurmountable crisis.
“Yes, when I went back five days ago, the situation was relatively normal, but just two days ago, everything changed. A large number of monsters appeared near Yanshan Village, including a powerful beast king. Yanshan Village has a total population of just over three hundred people, and they are simply unable to resist such a beast tide, so after discussion, we decided to evacuate completely!” Shi Xuyao said.
Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "Then settle down in Nancheng!"
"Oh right, and the artifact tablet too. Lin Man and I have both obtained the two strongest inheritances. And because of the inheritances we both received, we discovered that we can move the artifact tablet together, so we brought it along as well!" Shi Xuyao said.
"That's great! It seems you've been working very hard lately!" Jiang Yuan praised sincerely.
Shi Xuyao and Lin Man's talents are undeniable. Although he taught them many of the Sun and Moon Saint Lord's forging techniques, they still need their own comprehension to obtain the top inheritance of the dwarf race.
"Thanks to my master's wife, she has been providing forging materials, which has given us a 24/7 opportunity to practice. Otherwise, it's hard to say whether we would have been able to inherit the skills!" Shi Xuyao's expression became respectful when he mentioned his master's wife, but he looked around and couldn't see her. "Master, isn't my master's wife here?"
"Shh, you're going to get me killed, aren't you!"
Jiang Yuan quickly lowered his voice, sounding rather guilty, "When did I ever say that Liu Zhaodi was your teacher's wife!"
"Master, isn't your wife here?"
After wiping away her tears and calming herself down, Lin Man came up and added insult to injury.
Jiang Yuan: "..."
"Now that you've all received the top-tier inheritance, there's no need for you to call me master anymore, so the title of master's wife is even less necessary!"
These words were spoken after careful consideration by Jiang Yuan. Originally, he only took Shi Xuyao and Lin Man under his wing on a whim, and he only regarded the two as apprentices, a pure master-apprentice relationship, not a master-disciple relationship.
There is a very large difference between master and apprentice, father and son.
"This won't do!"
Shi Xuyao and Lin Man said in unison.
"We owe our success to our master's guidance. If we forget our roots after we've learned everything, wouldn't we be no better than animals!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan shook his head and said, "You're overthinking it. We've only changed how we address each other, but our relationship remains the same in private. If you have any questions, just ask me as usual. It's no big deal!"
"But!"
"No buts, it's settled!" Jiang Yuan made the final decision, not wanting to waste any more words with the two of them.
"Yanlan and the others are here!" Leng Yue's tone was strange. She had heard everything clearly from the side. Jiang Yuan really did have a complicated and messy relationship with Liu Zhaodi.
"Remember, don't mention it again!" Jiang Yuan made a shushing gesture. At this moment, a chill ran down his spine as he thought of Leng Yue. He quickly handed her a top-quality dagger and said, "Keep it a secret. I don't want Yan Lan to misunderstand!"
"Sigh, should I accept this or not?" Leng Yue toyed with the dagger in her hand.
Jiang Yuan suddenly remembered that Leng Yue urgently needed Holy Spirit Stones, so he said, "Add another 10,000 Ninth-Order Holy Spirit Stones!"
"One hundred thousand!"
"I..." Jiang Yuan was speechless at the price increase, but seeing Ning Yanlan getting closer and closer, he could only agree: "Okay!"
