Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!-Chapter 1050 - 312: [Houseborn Servant] 4

Later, my sister married a legitimate son of the Li Family, over ten years ago, she gave birth to a son, who was also accepted as a legitimate son of the Li Family, which indeed provided him with a decent livelihood."

The so-called legitimate son refers to a servant sold into the family, who has already been granted the family’s surname, wearing the family name.

They are considered the steadfast subordinates of the main family, their lives and reputations are tied to the fate of the main family.

These servants, when they have offspring, all take on the surname of the main family, essentially forming a loyal lineage for the family.

Hearing this, Gu Tongbing nodded.

As a legitimate son of a prominent family himself, he naturally understood this tradition of great noble families. Historically, they always tend to value and nurture their legitimate sons.

Particularly in talent cultivation, they are more inclined to select those with outstanding talent from the legitimate sons for training, and also employ them more significantly—owing to higher loyalty, making them more reliable to use.

"My sister’s husband has the bloodline of the Ghost Race.

Coincidentally, the son my sister bore, who is my nephew, showed unusual cultivation talent from a young age, catching the attention of the Li Family, who considered him a seedling for cultivation. From a young age, he was bestowed by the main family with various medicines to cultivate his roots and bones.

This time, the Li Family obtained some slots for the Heaven-Crashing Ceremony. My nephew was fortunate enough to be chosen by the Li Family as a candidate to attend the ceremony for enlightenment.

The hope is that through this, he can cultivate the Ghost Race’s Cultivation Technique and enter the path, thus being heavily utilized by the Li Family, with a future at least starting as a steward.

My sister wrote me a letter, informing me of this joyful event, and the Li Family’s family tradition is quite good, they..."

At this point, Gu Tongbing nodded and interrupted, smiling: "The Li Family’s tradition is indeed quite good, known for their generosity and harmony. They always have a way with people.

Your nephew, having the bloodline of the Ghost Race, was chosen to participate in the Heaven-Crashing Ceremony, so the Li Family permitted the family of your nephew to go along and observe.

So you were also invited to come?"

The bald brother smiled bitterly: "My sister is weak, my brother-in-law happens to be delegated to the northern frontier for official business, so my sister invited me, her brother, using my sister’s letter, which had the Li Family’s permission Token, to board the Li Family’s flying boat to attend the Heaven-Crashing Ceremony, sharing in this glory as my nephew’s family.

Only when I boarded the Li Family’s flying boat and came over, I did not expect to encounter such an ambush and interception.

Fortunately, I am used to slaughter at Snow Cliff Pass, so I am more vigilant. At the time, I seized the opportunity, jumped off the boat, and escaped, thinking I could avoid the disaster by hiding here, yet I did not expect to still be found."

Gu Tongbing fixed his gaze on the bald brother, his eyes seemingly calm but staring for quite a while.

Just when the bald brother started to feel uneasy, Gu Tongbing lightly sighed: "Alright, you go out for now, check outside, and cover up the traces left by the battle just now."

"...Okay, I’ll go now!"

The bald brother crawled out of the bear cave and quickly walked away.

At this time, in the cave, in a corner, Chen Yan slowly opened his eyes, coldly looking at Gu Tongbing.

Gu Tongbing sighed: "You’ve been awake for a while, haven’t you? Can you stop pointing your Finger Sword at me?"

Chen Yan didn’t move. His left thumb pointed distantly at Gu Tongbing, speaking coldly: "Just now, you wanted to kill him."

Gu Tongbing pulled at the corners of his mouth, speaking in a low voice: "Intercepting the Li Family was also part of the plan, but he is a living person, if he leaves, the matter will inevitably be exposed..."

Seeing Chen Yan’s unpleasant expression, Gu Tongbing smiled bitterly: "I indeed thought of killing him just now, but... I have already given up.

The box of ointment I gave to him was indeed capable of detoxifying him."

With that, he turned over his hand, and a small, thumb-sized iron box appeared in his palm.

Chen Yan looked, noticing that it resembled those old-fashioned iron boxes of cooling ointment he used when he was a child.

"I actually have two boxes of ointment on me, one is poison, and the other is an antidote. The one I gave him yesterday is the antidote," Gu Tongbing said earnestly.

"Why did you abandon your murderous intent?"

"Because of you." Gu Tongbing smiled bitterly: "I wanted to kill him to silence him, but... you were willing to risk your life to save him, if I killed him, wouldn’t that completely offend you?"
