Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 3305 - The Best Result

A girl’s most important thing had been given to Tianming by mistake. If he left alone, she would be condemned and bear the blame.

His words said it all.

Misfortune had come without warning, yet he couldn’t help but blame himself when he saw Suishen Yao weak and confused.

"Let her down...." The words brought some light to Suishen Yao’s eyes. Staring at Tianming, she asked, "Will you return?"

“Of course! The time will come!" He replied.

"Yaoyao, don't be so pessimistic. There’s millions of cultivators in Myriadpath Valley who are very supportive of the two of you. Outside of the Three Exalted Houses, you have public opinion on your side! So the matter isn’t certain yet. He’s just leaving to avoid the limelight for now. When the time’s right, he might have a chance to come back," Eminent Jiguang said.

"But if you’re back at home, how will you know when the time is right?" Suishen Yao asked.

After a moment’s contemplation, Tianming said, "To reach my home, go to a place called Skydome. There’s a stareye relay there." Revealing that to them meant that he completely trusted them. It was also because he had immense power in the Infinitum Mundus.

"Skydome...."

Eminent Jiguang and Suishen Yao exchanged a look.

"Don't worry, I’ll keep it secret for you," Eminent Jiguang assured him.

Having said all they had to say, staying any longer would only increase the risk. Suishen Yao was going to get married tomorrow. Perhaps someone might come looking for her any moment now.

"Let’s go," said Eminent Jiguang.

Tianming looked at the hesitant, confused girl, who also stared back at him. He bit his lips when their eyes met, unsure of what to say.

"Wait for me. I’ll definitely come back!"

Tianming didn't know when he would be able to return after leaving Myriadpath Valley and losing the top cultivation resources, but he still had to make her a promise because he was responsible. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

With that, Eminent Jiguang and he quietly left the Jiguang Sea together. Yin Chen had found a less-traveled path out of Suishen Cave. They would be fine once they left the cave.

Eminent Jiguang pulled him through the clouds.

"The Ascension Colosseum, Grand Myridpath Ruins, Midsky Myriadpath Stele, Heavensource Starriver....”

One by one, notable places flashed past his eyes. Tianming had come in a hurry and left in a hurry. He suddenly recalled that he had yet to enter the upper ruins. It had also been a long time since he’d met the old cleaner. He had too many regrets, and it was all because of Eminent Ranxing. If he hadn’t forced his daughter to marry, Tianming could have comfortably remained in Myriadpath Valley and obtained a large number of cultivation resources like the Myriadpath Sourcespring and maniverse-class battle arts. But now he had to leave in a hurry.

"Yin Chen, have you spoken to Jian Qinghe?" Tianming asked Yin Chen.

"Yes."

"What’d she say?"

"She congratulated... you two," Yin Chen replied.

"What? Why did she congratulate us?"

"On tying... the knot," Yin Chen said.

"She isn’t jealous, is she? Fifth, have you made it clear that they didn't actually do it?" Ying Huo asked.

"No no," Yin Chen laughed.

"Dammit!" Tianming almost fell from the sky. Eyes wide, he cussed. "Fifth, are you crazy? You left out the most important part? How will people see me? She must’ve misunderstood the situation."

Yin Chen cleared its throat. "Little Li... what’s up... with your... attitude attitude?"

Tianming felt a rush of blood to his head. "You’re good!"

His reaction made Ying Huo jump up and down with excitement, eager to keep him in check like Yin Chen.

"Did she say anything else?" Tianming asked.

"She told... you to... leave first. Then wait... and observe... any changes," Yin Chen said.

"Alright, tell her I’ll send someone named Li Fan to the Myriadpath Celestial Formation if I need to speak to her. He’ll contact her with a transmission stone," said Tianming.

"Okay!"

Because Jian Qinghe had also suggested that he leave quickly, before Eminent Ranxing and House Suishen burst with rage, Tianming wasted no time. Soon, he was standing on the Myriadpath Celestial Formation, ready to leave.

Eminent Jiguang had yet to recover from the sudden turn of events. She couldn't help but sigh as she looked at him. "I know you like Yaoyao, and she likes you a little as well. After her defeat, this is the best result for you lovers. At least Suishen Yue won’t get to take advantage of her,” Eminent Jiguang meaningfully said.

Tianming was confused. He had never said that he liked her! How on earth did Eminent Jiguang come up with such a fact?

He had previously assumed that Eminent Jiguang had intensified the rumors of their deep love to control public opinion for Suishen Yao to cancel the engagement after winning the battle. But to his surprise, she truly believed they were in love.

Although receiving the Suishen Blood had put him in a most awkward position, it’d also sparked his totems’ breakthrough and increased his strength. Eminent Jiguang would probably think he was heartless and slaughter him on the spot if he dared to say that he didn’t like Suishen Yao.

At the mention of Suishen Yue, Tianming asked, "Does this mean they won’t get married tomorrow?"

Eminent Jiguang nodded. "Of course. How can they get married after all this? You’ll soon see how dire the consequences are. But it’s a good thing. Although Yaoyao will be punished and scolded, at least she won’t have to live and cultivate with a man she doesn't like. Anyway, I’ll try my best to protect her."

"That's good." Tianming didn't expect that the recent turn of events would solve Suishen Yao’s problem.

Won’t Suishen Yue be so mad he’ll vomit blood when he learns that I’ve run away after stealing the pig he’s been waiting for an entire year? Tianming was pleased with that. He was annoyed by the smug look on Suishen Yue’s face.

"Tianming!"

Worried that Suishen Yao wouldn’t be able to hold on alone, Eminent Jiguang was in a hurry to leave. But before leaving, she looked at Tianming and said, "Yaoyao’s been unhappy since she lost her mother. Although she was born in House Suishen, her life hasn’t been smooth. She’s quite pitiful. You should know that Suishen Blood is the most precious thing for the women of House Suishen. You mustn’t let her down in the future, understand?"

"The most precious thing...." Upon hearing the words, Tianming knew that he had inexplicably taken on a debt of love.
