Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags
Chapter 984 - 984 458

Chapter 984: 458 Chapter 984: 458 “Greetings to the Sect Master!” Jiang Yuan said, clasping his hands together in salute.

Lu Qingshan immediately burst into hearty laughter.

“Come, join me at my table!”

…

In the afternoon, Jiang Yuan walked out of Qingyun Palace.

Shu Xiaoxiao closely followed behind.

Elsewhere.

Lu Qingshan gripped the white jade bottle in his hand, his face expressing complicated emotions.

He then glanced one more time towards Jiang Yuan descending the mountain.

“Supreme Mystery Sect’s fortune indeed!”

He murmured softly with a sigh, his expression filled with wistfulness.

Moments later.

His hand clutching the white jade bottle suddenly tensed, veins popping out as excitement spread across his features.

“With these resources, I will surely be able to step into the Dharma Realm!”

“It’s true! When one man gains the Tao, his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!!”

“The ancients did not deceive me!!!”

At this moment, he remembered the words Jiang Yuan had spoken when he had tried to decline before.

Below a Saint, I am invincible!!

“It seems that one day, Supreme Mystery Sect will also produce a Saint!”

“Indeed, it’s the sect’s great fortune!!”

Elsewhere.

Shu Xiaoxiao followed closely behind Jiang Yuan.

“Young Master is truly kind-hearted!”

Jiang Yuan smiled: “This isn’t about being kind-hearted; these resources are nothing to me.”

“Back then, the Supreme Mystery Sect was quite helpful to me, especially the Sect Leader and Senior Kong Nian, whose help was tremendous.”

“Without their assistance, my journey of growth wouldn’t have been so smooth!”

“Now that I’ve reached this point, repaying their help is merely an act that follows naturally!”

Shu Xiaoxiao said from behind Jiang Yuan.

“In Xiaoxiao’s eyes, Young Master is a great, great good person in this world!”

“There are very few people in this world who can do what Young Master does!”

Jiang Yuan turned his head and smiled, then pinched her cheek.

“So, in your eyes, I am good at everything, right?”

“Mmm hmm!” Shu Xiaoxiao responded with a slight nod, her cheek pinched by Jiang Yuan.

She continued, “Of course, to Xiaoxiao, Young Master is the best good person in the world!”

Jiang Yuan laughed lightly again, rubbing her head.

“You!”

He said with a light smile, “I know my own actions; I don’t count as a good person!”

As he said this, his mind instantly recalled his past actions.

He smiled wryly once more.

“I can only say I still have some bottom line!”

“My hands are bloodied, and I don’t know how many people have fallen by my hand.”

“Young Master!” Shu Xiaoxiao spoke up, looking earnestly at Jiang Yuan: “Those people must all have deserved to die!!”

Jiang Yuan said, “To say they deserved to die is stretching it. Some of them weren’t guilty enough to warrant death!”

“But no matter! I don’t have much affection for this world, and even less for those people!”

“There are not many people in this world that I truly care about!”

Speaking of which, Jiang Yuan’s eyes revealed a trace of longing.

Having seen Blue Star turned into a dead star and after Wasteland Star, his heart was filled with nostalgia for his relatives from his previous life.

As for this life, in this world, he had only been here a mere few years—how much sense of belonging could he have?

Just then.

Shu Xiaoxiao lowered her head, fiddling with the hem of her clothes.

“Young Master!”

“Hmm?” Jiang Yuan turned at her words, snapping back to reality.

“Does Young Master care about… about Xiaoxiao?” Shu Xiaoxiao sounded nervous, her breathing had almost vanished as if she was holding her breath, waiting for some sort of judgment.

Jiang Yuan chuckled, rubbing her head again.

“Silly girl! Of course, among those I care for, Xiaoxiao is one of the most important!”

“Ah!” Shu Xiaoxiao suddenly looked up at Jiang Yuan in surprise, her eyes sparkling with twinkling lights.

She murmured softly, “Is that true, Young Master?”

Jiang Yuan smiled faintly, the corners of his mouth holding a hint of a smile.

He gently ruffled her hair: “Of course it’s true! There’s no one more important than you in this world!”

“That’s wonderful!!!”

Shu Xiaoxiao said, her eyes immediately glistening with tears.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan felt a pang of heartache and rubbed Shu Xiaoxiao’s head, letting her lean on his shoulder.

At that moment, Shu Xiaoxiao greedily inhaled Jiang Yuan’s scent.

“Young Master… you’re so good!!”

Her voice was as faint as a mosquito’s buzz, filled with a young girl’s musings.

…

Thump thump thump—

The front door of Liu Jie’s mansion was knocked by Jiang Yuan.

“Who is it?”

A gentle female voice came from the front yard.

Hearing this voice, a faint smile appeared on Jiang Yuan’s face.

“Senior Sister Liu, it’s me! Jiang Yuan!”

As the sound of his voice reached her, Jiang Yuan immediately heard hurried footsteps from behind the door.

After a breath’s time.

Boom—

The large door slowly opened.

“So it really is Junior Brother Jiang!” Liu Rushi brightened up on seeing Jiang Yuan and Shu Xiaoxiao standing at the door.

Then she continued, “When I heard Junior Brother Jiang’s voice just now, I didn’t dare to believe my ears, I thought it was a hallucination!”

“I didn’t expect it really would be Junior Brother Jiang paying a visit!”

Liu Rushi’s voice was full of joy as she quickly opened the mansion’s large door.

Behind her, Liu Jie’s voice followed.

“My dear, it’s not quite appropriate to call Brother Jiang ‘Junior Brother’ anymore!”

Liu Jie spoke while swiftly walking out of the house.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan laughed lightly, “Brother Liu Jie, what you’ve said is too alienating! How come Senior Sister Liu could call me ‘Junior Brother’ two years ago, but now she cannot?”

Liu Jie immediately scratched his head, “It’s not that, it’s just Brother Jiang has changed, no longer the same as before. Now a person of great importance, how can my wife still call you ‘Junior Brother’? It’s not suitable!”

Jiang Yuan said, “What’s unsuitable about that? In cultivation, seniority is determined by accomplishment, not by the time of arrival! But how can we measure our sentiment within the sect by cultivation level?”
