"Ghost Hand of Life and Death?"
Lin Xiaotian seemed to have never heard of this name. He stroked his chin in thought and asked curiously, "Which sect does he belong to? Why don't I have any impression of him? He doesn't seem to be on the list of masters my master gave me."
"You little brat, you have no insight at all. How could that old man be so relieved to let you descend the mountain? You haven't even heard of such a famous name as the Ghost Hand of Life and Death?"
Shao Hongyun shook her head speechlessly and directly printed out a personal information form, handing it to Lin Xiaotian. She said seriously, "Take a look yourself. This is all the detailed information about this person."
"He is from the Divine Ghost Sect. His strength is the same as Old Master Long of the Ancient Martial World, also at the middle stage of the Land Immortal realm. He is definitely not to be underestimated."
"Tch, I thought he was so formidable. Turns out he's only at the middle stage of the Land Immortal realm. I'm a late-stage master. Although it sounds like only one level difference, in the Land Immortal realm, that's like heaven and earth. So this person is no threat at all."
*Slap!*
As soon as Lin Xiaotian finished speaking, he received a slap from Shao Hongyun.
Shao Hongyun glared at him angrily and said, "Where did you learn to be so arrogant? I haven't finished talking to you yet. This Ghost Hand of Life and Death is extremely skilled in stealth and hidden weapons, and he possesses a divine artifact, the Ancient Life-Taking Dart."
"This dart is incredibly powerful, combining the energies of wind, fire, thunder, and water. So far, no master who has encountered this dart has been able to escape his grasp."
"Even masters at the late stage of the Land Immortal realm would be extremely cautious when facing him. Therefore, compared to him, you are at best evenly matched."
"If it weren't for the old man on the mountain specifically reminding me, I wouldn't bother with you. If you don't listen, then go die yourself. You can go see your parents sooner."
Shao Hongyun said dismissively, then put down her teacup and prepared to see him out.
Lin Xiaotian sensed a hint of danger and quickly smiled, flipping his teacup back and placating Shao Hongyun, "Auntie, why are you asking me to leave again? I haven't had enough of looking at you, a great beauty."
"You've been lonely down the mountain for so many years for my sake, I almost can't bear it. Let me look at you a little longer."
"Oh, your attitude has changed quite quickly, you brat."
Shao Hongyun loved being praised the most. Whenever she was complimented, she would lose herself and become intoxicated.
And when she was happy, it would be much easier to negotiate with her.
"Little brat, I've said what I needed to say. Do you have anything else to ask me?" Shao Hongyun snapped back to reality, swaying her alluring body and staring at him as she asked.
"Heh heh, of course I do. I also want to know how much Auntie knows about the Heavenly Net and Earthly Net. Do you know what kind of organization that is?" Lin Xiaotian asked directly.
"Heavenly Net and Earthly Net? You brat, you haven't been chased by them for so long and you don't even know what they are?"
Shao Hongyun felt like spitting blood, almost calling her husband's disciple a complete failure!
But as the words were about to leave her mouth, she stopped herself at the last moment and reluctantly explained, "The Heavenly Net and Earthly Net is an organization that constantly searches for spiritual energy beneficial to them."
"I don't know who their leader is, but I know that person is seeking to obtain the world's most potent spiritual energy to cultivate an immortal art for eternal life. The ancient cauldrons you found are what they need the most. They can only achieve their goal by killing you and using your blood to consecrate the cauldrons."
"Use my blood to consecrate the cauldrons?"
Lin Xiaotian had a rough idea of what was going on but wasn't entirely sure. After a few seconds of thought, he asked again, "So my blood must be very important to them?"
"Of course. What flows in your veins is the Blood of Heavenly Yang. This blood is the most..."
Shao Hongyun stopped halfway through her sentence and quickly covered her mouth, her eyes darting around.
The old man on the mountain had said that this matter must not be revealed to Lin Xiaotian!
Once he knew the secret of his blood, he might do something extreme.
"What is the Blood of Heavenly Yang?" Lin Xiaotian frowned, his guess confirmed. He asked again seriously.
"It's nothing, just a very ordinary type of blood. Because you have those ancient cauldrons in your possession, your blood is the only thing that can fuse with them. That's why they want your blood."
Shao Hongyun regained her composure and responded very naturally.
Although she thought she hadn't shown any flaws, Lin Xiaotian could see at a glance that she was lying.
She was definitely hiding something from him!
"Alright, since Auntie is unwilling to say more, I won't ask. I will be careful about the Ghost Hand of Life and Death you mentioned."
Lin Xiaotian shrugged and replied calmly. Before getting up to leave, he suddenly turned back and said, "Oh, Auntie, I'm still a little curious about something. Can you explain it to me?"
"What do you want, you little brat? Don't tell me you have ideas about me?"
Shao Hongyun covered her neckline, looking at Lin Xiaotian's wicked gaze, which was no different from the old man on the mountain, and asked in surprise.
"Where is Auntie's mind going? You are my Auntie. No matter how capable I am, I wouldn't dare to snatch my master's woman."
Lin Xiaotian rolled his eyes to explain, then continued, "I wanted to ask Auntie, what kind of grudge do you have with the Feng family? How powerful is this Feng family?"
"To you, the Feng family is just the trash you mentioned earlier. To outsiders, they are one of the top three major families in the provincial capital, with businesses spread throughout the province. Even Songzhou City has many businesses related to them."
"By the way, since you asked about this, I need to remind you that their business scope in Songzhou City likely involves the Chu family. You offended Feng Cong today, so you need to be careful from now on. The Feng family will definitely find an opportunity to retaliate against you."
Shao Hongyun told him seriously.
"I see. Thank you for the reminder, Auntie. I will be careful. Auntie, if you ever need anything in the future, just contact me. I will help if I can. However, Auntie, you need to be careful with your gifts in the future."
"Don't be like last night, sending me a card and then letting a thief exploit a loophole, almost assassinating my wife." Lin Xiaotian slapped the table and got up to leave.
"Stop right there, you brat."
Shao Hongyun's eyebrows furrowed. She suddenly stopped him and asked him seriously, "What did you just accuse me of? What card did I send you? I only had someone send you a piece of jade yesterday. Did you receive any other gifts?"
"Hmm? That membership card to the Western restaurant wasn't from you?" Lin Xiaotian asked back in surprise.
"Western restaurant? I don't like eating in places like that. I prefer Chinese cuisine," Shao Hongyun replied directly.
She paused for two seconds, then a smile appeared on her face, and she mocked, "You wouldn't have been tricked again, would you? It seems your training is truly lacking!"
"Auntie, I have other things to do. I'll be going now."
Lin Xiaotian felt greatly embarrassed and quickly bid her farewell and left!
