‘There is no question about it. I won’t give her Celeste, or the Pendants. I’m taking the last option.’
Eren did not know what the System Upgrade meant. All the options had the system upgrade rewards, but with a different character at the end.
Since he could not see what they were, he could only gamble on it.
“As this old man has accepted you as a disciple, I shall grant you a small gift.”
Eren took out the ring that he took from the Forest of Death. It was the ring of inheritance that he exchanged an antidote for.
He hadn’t lost anything in this exchange, basically taking it for free.
It was a ring that contained many techniques from a powerful expert. It was something that had made the original owner very powerful.
Unfortunately, even if he tried, he wasn’t able to learn those techniques.
He believed it was because he didn’t have the basic knowledge about cultivation. He only knew what he had read in the novel.
He was thinking about trying it again after recovering some of the memories of Elder Ren.
‘No point in regretting this. It would have been a bigger regret if I lost the Pendant, or even Celeste.’
The Pendants were his life saving treasure in this world. Having them was like having a second life.
As for Celeste, she was very close to him. And even the person who he confused with the Author told him that Celeste was very special.
He didn’t know why he said such a thing, but he didn’t underestimate his words.
The only thing that he could give was the inheritance inside the ring, which was useless to him for the time.
“This…”
Zhou Yanmei looked at the ring which looked really old. But she could feel that it wasn’t ordinary. It was a very special ring, which was a treasure.
It was also given by the Sect Master’s father. She couldn’t look down on it. ϺᏙԼΕϺƤΥƦ.ƇՕϺ
She respectfully took the ring and wore it on her finger with great care. Just as she did, a warm glow emanated from the ring, enveloping her in a comforting light.
She was able to see inside the ring, and there, she saw many incredible Martial Skills. They were extraordinary, maybe even more special than the Sect’s most precious skills.
“This… Did you write them, Master?!” she asked, shocked.
These were the skills that Eren created? He hadn’t told her where he got it from, so she thought it was his.
Eren, after momentarily being surprised, quickly gathered his thoughts.
“Cough, That’s right. I wrote them when I was younger. They are very crude, but you are just starting. They should be good enough as a base.
When you get stronger, I will make more powerful skills for you.”
“I love it so much!” The girl cheerfully clapped her hands in excitement, feeling grateful.
She already believed that she had made the best choice in her life by accepting a new master.
“Remember one thing though. You must never let my daughter know about me. Hide that ring from her if you ever meet, or she might suspect you.”
“I will keep it in mind. I will never let her know about you.” Zhou Yanmei earnestly nodded in full seriousness.
She understood why her second master was worried about her first master. It was simply because he did not want to hurt the feelings of his daughter.
“Good girl,” Eren gently patted Zhou Yanmei’s head, his voice filled with both affection and authority.
“It is time for you to return to the sect now. Instead of wandering outside, dedicate yourself to diligent practice. When we meet next time, I will check your progress,” he reminded her, telling her not to waste time outside.
Having completed the quest and rewarding his Second Disciple, Eren was cautious not to risk triggering any additional options that might divert him from his goals.
As the warm winds wrapped around him, he began to ascend into the air. He turned to Zhou Yanmei once more, his eyes filled with serious intent.
“Remember everything I have taught you. Should you dare to break even a single rule of mine…” Eren’s sentence trailed off, leaving the consequence unspoken.
And with that, he vanished into the clouds, leaving Zhou Yanmei with a sense of both anticipation for the next time they were going to meet.
Above the clouds, Eren was greeted by the awaiting Phoenix. Weary from everything, he landed on the majestic creature, releasing a tired sigh.
Finally, after a long journey, all the options had been accomplished. Eren’s exhaustion was evident on his face.
“Did I perform well?” Xiu Ying asked. She had been patiently waiting for him, her posture humble and respectful.
“You surpassed all expectations. I never knew you possessed such exceptional skills as a Villain. You have the potential to become a true professional in this field,” Eren praised with a light laughter.
Lying on the back of the Phoenix, Eren rested his head upon Xiu Ying’s lap, finding comfort in her embrace.
“Who would have thought that acting could be such a demanding job,” he mused, looking back at all the lies he had to tell.
…
“Are we heading to the Southern Continent now?”
“That was the plan, but there is one more place we need to stop at before that,” replied Eren.
