Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Xu Jin could tell something was amiss with just one glance at this Starlight Transmission.

Qi was beating around the bush.

A standard reply would normally start with an update on one’s own situation, followed by a few words.

But the flattery in this response made Xu Jin certain that Qi had already taken action behind his back.

[Gross! In that case, Teacher, why don’t you swear on it? If you’re acting behind my back, then your disciple Xu Jin will be found dead on the streets tomorrow, with no bones left!]

Xu Jin directly resorted to drastic measures.

[Kid, do you have to be so vicious with your words! Who curses themselves like that? Haven’t you heard of a self-fulfilling prophecy?]

[Alright, since you won’t swear, and you’re unwilling to take any emblems from me, then I’ll go find Hu Xuechuan tomorrow. I plan to leak the information about the Clearing Soul Star Pattern, then escape using the Invisibility Star Skill to alleviate and lessen your burdens.]

Xu Jin didn’t elaborate, but said just this one sentence in a do-or-die attitude.

Sure enough, in less than ten breaths, Qi Shanye caved in.

There was no way around it, Qi Shanye cared about Xu Jin exceedingly.

Qi Shanye knew Xu Jin was exploiting this weakness, but he didn’t dare wager!

There was no helping it, as Xu Jin had something to rely on.

The person who is cared about knows no fear!

[Fine, I won’t make a vow. Lately, I have indeed started taking action, planning to retrieve the handbook in a few days. Since you’ve mentioned it, I’ll take one of the emblems as a precaution. Don’t you dare do anything foolish.]

Qi Shanye knew Xu Jin all too well. This youngster dared to storm the local lair of the Baidou Divine Sect to save his sister. Qi truly didn’t dare to gamble!

So he gave in.

But Qi, who surrendered, was both annoyed and blissful!

Anger was directed at the youngster for blackmailing him.

Bliss was from feeling cared for and worried about— it was a very good feeling!

In his lifetime, to be cared for in his old, destitute days!

It wasn’t a life lived in vain!

This disciple was indeed worth taking on!

[Alright, since you’ve agreed, where shall we meet, or rather, where should I deliver the emblem to you?] Xu Jin asked.

[I can’t enter Imperial City Wanyi of Dachen; the Tianyang and Cangming Star Halls are still relentlessly searching there for the survivors of the Lingji Star Hall! Head to the city of Song State if you can make it. Four days from now, let’s meet there!]

[Alternatively, you could find someone to courier it over to me.] Qi Shanye said.

[Alright, four days later, in the city of Song State, don’t miss it!] Xu Jin made his decision promptly.

[Good, we’ll meet in four days.]

After ending the chat with Qi, Xu Jin thoughtfully pondered.

He must go to assist Teacher Qi Shanye; the emblems had to be delivered by him personally!

The preparations that followed became exceedingly important!

And the method of leaving the National Taoist Institute!

All of these required planning.
