Chapter 312: Chapter 145 Red Moon Relic_4

Xu Qing said, "He has suffered a truly fatal blow this time and won’t bother me again for a while, pity, such a pity..."

Xu Qing knew that the adversary was like a reincarnation of Red Moon.

Being able to force him into a corner with the help of the Old Wutong Tree was already quite remarkable.

But, after all, the Red Moon is the Red Moon.

He hoped that this strike could give Yan Kong some more time.

Xu Qing clearly felt that Yan Kong’s own consciousness was still preserved, confronting the red-haired man. This also explained why the red-haired man did not realize the threatening power of the Old Wutong Tree immediately,

and why he couldn’t use his full strength earlier at the Golden Ray Monastery.

The previous shout of "The sea of suffering is boundless" by Xu Qing through Lei Sound had also confirmed the existence of Yan Kong’s part of the self.

"Old Monk, for yourself, and for your descendants, you must strive to become stronger." Xu Qing could only give Yan Kong a sincere encouragement.

Next, Feng Wu took out a jade box with a tranquil and natural Daoist talisman on it.

"This is a Sealing Demon Talisman made by the Temple Master, it should be effective."

Xu Qing nodded, placing the Red Moon Relics into the jade box, and then had Feng Wu stabilize the box with the Sealing Demon Talisman.

"How fortunate I am to have your assistance, otherwise we would not have successfully scared away that red-haired monster this smoothly," Xu Qing reflected.

Having allies by your side has the greatest advantage of increasing the fault tolerance, allowing for bolder attempts and adapted responses to enemies.

If he were to fight alone, the margin for error would be too low.

Moreover, Feng Wu’s Sealing Demon Talisman also saved Xu Qing from the trouble of how to store the Red Moon Relics.

The Chaotian Temple Master was among the top Divine Soul Experts of this world, with a cultivation level even above that of the Luo Sect Master, directly pursuing Elder Fang.

The efficacy of his Sealing Demon Talisman goes without saying.

As for why the Chaotian Temple Master was so good to Feng Wu, Xu Qing also knew the reason - because he was her maternal granduncle...

Old Feng really is a top-notch freeloader!

How did he manage to whisk away the great lady of an aristocratic family, his mother-in-law?

Xu Qing muttered to himself.

However, freeloaders are a common companion of great people.

For instance, if Xiu’er had not married Guo Shengtong, where would the later glory come from?

And Wei Zifu, who brought the most superior dowry in history, the Empire’s Twin Pillars.

Even the father-in-law was something else, not only relying on his wife’s resources but also on his son-in-law to get a promotion!

Simply incredible!

Xu Qing criticized his father-in-law internally, and then, under his wife the protector’s care, began to heal. Not long after, Xu Qing opened his eyes.

It was not that his injuries had completely healed, but Fayue had come down the mountain in pursuit.

Xu Qing and his wife met with Fayue, each feeling sorrowful.

"Ah, Master Yan Kong was such a good person..." Xu Qing truly felt pain in his heart.

However, the fact that Fayue was safe and sound and that the monks who had fallen in the temple were only weak, with no fatal injuries, indicated that the red-haired man had not completely succumbed to demonhood, becoming utterly heartless.

With a bitter smile, Fayue said, "I always hoped to take over Golden Ray Monastery sooner, but never expected it to be in this manner."

Xu Qing: "It’s hard to predict life, as gathering and parting are as inconstant as clouds and wild dogs in life. Master Fayue, no need to dwell on it, the burden of Golden Ray Monastery now falls on you, and I fully support you."

Fayue: "It’s just that I’m worried about that red-haired person, who remains a hidden threat. And I don’t know if there’s any hope for my master."

He sighed repeatedly as he said this.

Xu Qing: "I don’t expect anything will happen for a short while. Once I recover from my injury, I will make a sea journey. If things go well, there might be a chance for your revered master."

"Many thanks to Xu Jieyuan then," said Fayue, bowing deeply.

Xu Qing nodded: "After my sea journey, I’d like Master Fayue to keep an eye on the Heavenly Mechanism Palace and the Recovery Society for me. Yan Weizhong and Mr. Xie won’t be back for at least another six months."

Xu Qing had some connections within the Ministry of Personnel as a Lesser Archivist, so as long as they passed the Imperial Examination, bypassing the routine observation of public affairs for scholars and preparing for the court examination would not be difficult.

After all, during the period of reform, many things could be handled in a special manner, depending entirely on one’s connections.

Thus, for many officials, the reform period was an opportunity to be promoted beyond their qualifications.

It was not surprising to see fraudulent achievements in government records either.

Xu Qing could not manage so much, he could only make strategic moves.

He hoped that this sea journey would be successful in retrieving the treasures from the Xuantian Treasure Vault, further solidifying his own foundation.

After discussing with Fayue for a while, Xu Qing saw him off and returned to the house.

Feng Wu said, "You take these days to recover from your injury. I’ll keep an eye on the matters of the school. I have already reviewed the general plans, and nothing should go amiss. Besides, what are your plans for those orphans adopted by Yihe Hall?"

Xu Qing: "I plan to first establish the Youth Iron Blood Association, then select the exceptional ones to join the Recovery Society and pursue official careers; the others who are not suited for literary paths, I’ll make other arrangements."

Feng Wu nodded: "I will go and look after these orphans for you in your absence."

The Grand Ancestor Emperor’s Empress adopted many orphans on behalf of the Grand Ancestor Emperor, and many of these orphans later became a great support to the Grand Ancestor.

To achieve great things, Feng Wu had to handle the details at the rear.

Understanding the ways of the world is a form of study; being adept at ensuring good interpersonal relationships is akin to writing essays.

For cultivators, cultivation is a journey.

And that journey lies within worldly affairs.
