Hidden Moth-Chapter 509 - 288: Entrusting True Feelings, One Foot of Affection (Part 3)

He Kao’s first thought upon receiving the Scenic Smoke was actually of Lan Jiwan.

Now that Lan Jiwan has broken through to Tier Four Cultivation, according to the traditions of the Magic Sect, she should be granted a suitable magical treasure by her master.

The Hidden Moth Gauze was only lent to her temporarily, He Kao still needed it himself, and there are other things that seemed shady. The only magical treasure He Kao could offer was the Xue Guanghan, and he initially planned to give her one.

But the Xue Guanghan is merely a supportive magical artifact and wouldn’t be much use in magical combat. Would it make sense to use the beads like Flying Locust Stones to hit someone? Moreover, He Kao didn’t have many Xue Guanghan left, having given one to Gao Xue’e and another to Lin Qingshuang.

After receiving a Xue Guanghan, Lin Qingshuang, unbeknownst what she discovered, borrowed another from He Kao. He Kao had only one left and planned to give it to Lan Jiwan once Lin Qingshuang returned it.

Receiving the Scenic Smoke today, he felt it was perfect for Lan Jiwan. However, after Mei Guyu’s introduction that it’s a Heart Plate Sect’s thousand-year lost magical artifact, he felt awkward to ask directly.

Perhaps Mei Guyu noticed his tiny thoughts...

As He Kao was thinking this, Mei Guyu’s words surprised him again, as this elder responded, "Tomorrow? I still have to work tomorrow, it’s not a day off!"

He Kao: "You, you still have to go to work at the company?"

Mei Guyu sighed softly, "From the start, I’ve been truthful, just wanting to experience worldly affairs, working more as an ordinary employee.

Elder Jiang suggested I come to Qi Yuan, join the company you’re in, so here I am. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

But since my first day on the job, so many things happened one after another, until today it finally settled, and I can work properly now."

He Kao swallowed and said, "Is that necessary?"

Mei Guyu pulled out that Steel Ruler, held it, and said, "Do you think anyone in this world can cultivate techniques to the utmost realm?"

She often speaks in a way that others can’t follow the rhythm; it was clear she wasn’t great at communication. He Kao didn’t react, subconsciously asking, "Are you asking me?"

Mei Guyu couldn’t help but laugh again, "Am I asking this sword?"

He Kao: "I suppose so, right? The founder of the Alchemy Sect, Tan Jun, Immortal Tan, didn’t he ascend to immortality?"

Mei Guyu shook her head, "I didn’t witness Tan Ancestor’s ascension myself, even historical records shouldn’t be blindly trusted; they’re more like myth and legend, and there are many such legends.

I want to ask—is there conclusive evidence?"

He Kao spread his hands, "How would I know!"

Mei Guyu shook her head again, "How can you not know, it’s actually right in front of you."

In front of me? But there’s only Mei Guyu in front of me, and although Mei Guyu’s cultivation is high, it’s not to the utmost level, right?

He Kao asked in surprise, "Are you trying to say you’ve already cultivated the Alchemy Cauldron Skill to the utmost realm, or are you confident you will reach that level in the future?"

Mei Guyu laughed again, tonight it was a rare sight to see her smile so many times, "I’m certainly not talking about myself, but the Rainfall Divine Sword in front of us. If no one has achieved such cultivation, where did the Divine Sword come from?"

He Kao slapped his forehead, "Yeah, that makes perfect sense!"

It’s an obvious fact, yet it needed someone to remind him for his brain to twist around to it. In today’s Magic Sect, even an Artifact Refining Master like Zou Qianhuai couldn’t craft a Divine Artifact, let alone the Rainfall Divine Sword.

But the Rainfall Divine Sword is right in front of us, proving that someone had reached an unimaginable realm.

Mei Guyu seemed to mumble to herself, "I originally thought that coming to Qi Yuan, as long as I didn’t use divine power, I could take that step. Today I realized that’s not the case, just that my cultivation isn’t enough."

Saying this, she did something unbelievable, handing the Steel Ruler to He Kao, "During the time I work in Qi Yuan, I’ll temporarily entrust the Rainfall Divine Sword to you.

With your cultivation, you can’t unleash its full power, but it’s alright for practicing the Sword Control Skill..."

He Kao stepped back and said, "This, this, how is this appropriate?"

Mei Guyu hinted, "Can I trust you?"

He Kao hurriedly replied, "Of course, if nothing else, today we shared life and death!"

Mei Guyu said plainly, "In my current situation, the Rainfall Divine Sword is no different than an ordinary Steel Ruler in my hands. As a friend, I’m asking you to help temporarily safeguard it, is that okay?"

In this exchange with Mei Guyu, He Kao didn’t realize how many mental gymnastics he went through, and suddenly something struck him, prompting him to blurt out, "Could it be you already..."

When he realized it, he suddenly stopped and swallowed back what he was about to say.

Mei Guyu gently nodded, "Yes, as you expect."
