Martial Universe: Inherit the Future, Quickly Become a Martial Ancestor!

A moment later, at the Eagle Martial Arts School, in the main hall.

Jiang Lei invited Lan He to take the seat of honor, while he himself only dared to stand at the lower end. Jiang Xue stood to the side, her gaze still somewhat evasive, unsure how to face this mysterious and powerful figure who had descended from the sky.

Jiang Yinyin was finally put down and was now sitting obediently on the chair next to Lan He, her legs dangling in the air. She would occasionally steal a glance at the white-clad older brother beside her, then quickly lower her eyes, like a little sparrow carrying a secret.

Jiang Lei took a deep breath and asked cautiously:

"May I ask, senior... what brings you to Great Eagle City?"

He asked cautiously, even somewhat apprehensively. Given the other party's status and strength, there was absolutely no way they would have come for some petty gain from this small border town. If it were for the Great Wilderness Ancient Stele, they should have headed straight for the county seat, not detoured through Great Eagle City.

Lan He didn't beat around the bush. He glanced at Jiang Yinyin, then looked away, and said in a calm tone:

"For her."

Jiang Lei was stunned, and Jiang Xue was also stunned, subconsciously looking at her younger sister.

Jiang Yinyin blinked, puzzled, and stopped shaking her legs.

"This junior is foolish..." Jiang Lei's throat tightened, and he carefully chose his words, "Senior, are you referring to... my daughter?"

Lan He nodded.

He didn't explain further, but calmly said, "Your daughter and I are destined to be together. That's why I've come here."

Jiang Lei opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

He looked down at Jiang Yinyin, this little girl who usually only knew how to play and act spoiled, and who was only at the Body Tempering Realm, what merits did she have that made a Nirvana Realm expert personally come to visit and say the word "fate"?

Jiang Xue was equally shocked, but dared not speak. She instinctively pulled her younger sister closer to her, as if afraid that this unfathomable man in white would take Yin Yin away at any moment.

Jiang Yinyin was pulled over by her older sister. She looked up at her father with a blank expression, and then at Lan He.

She still didn't understand what had happened.

But instinctively, she felt that this older brother wasn't scary at all. He had an indescribable, warm aura that made her want to get close to him for no reason, just like... just like the comfort she felt when she was a child nestled in her mother's arms.

Then those big, dark eyes curved up again, like two small crescent moons.

"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm."

Lan He spoke calmly, glancing at the obviously uneasy Jiang Lei, then at Jiang Xue's forced composure, and said indifferently, "I come from the War King's Mansion of the Immortal Dynasty. The Immortal Dynasty is a super dynasty under the jurisdiction of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace. My father, War King Lan Zhan, has reached the Life Profound Realm in cultivation."

He paused, his gaze returning to Jiang Lei, his voice still calm, yet carrying a reassuring composure:

"If I truly had any ulterior motives towards you, I wouldn't have needed to make this trip in person."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lei's tense body finally relaxed slightly. He had limited knowledge of the power structure of the Eastern Xuan Region, but he had vaguely heard of names such as "Super Dynasty," "Life Profound Realm," and "Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace."

Given the status of the person in front of him, there's really no need for him to have any designs on insignificant people like them.

"May I ask... is there something special about my daughter that made you, senior, make this trip personally?"

Jiang Lei asked cautiously, but his mind was racing.

Taking on a disciple? He quickly dismissed the idea in his mind. Although Yin Yin was obedient and cute, in terms of cultivation talent, she couldn't even compare to the ordinary disciples in the martial arts school. In the eyes of Nirvana Realm experts, her Body Tempering Realm cultivation was no different from not cultivating at all.

If such a person wanted to take on a disciple, countless geniuses in the Great Yan Dynasty would line up and beg for it, so how could it be his little girl who only knows how to act cute?

Then what was the reason?

Lan He glanced at him but did not answer immediately.

He is indeed considering it.

He couldn't reveal the truth now: the reincarnation of the Lord of Life and Death. It wasn't a secret Jiang Lei could bear at his level; if it leaked, it wouldn't bring opportunity, but utter destruction. The demonic pursuit of the Eight Ancient Lords had spanned tens of thousands of years without ceasing.

But it's unreasonable to take someone's daughter away for no reason without saying anything.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "This is a long story, and at your current level, knowing it would only be a disaster. I won't go into details, but you just need to understand that I have no ill intentions towards her, nor will I harm her."

He paused, then changed the subject:

"I see that your martial arts school isn't having an easy time in this Great Yan Dynasty. The Blood Vulture Martial Arts School is just the beginning; there will only be more and more similar rivals in the future."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lei's expression darkened slightly, but he did not refute it.

He knew this all too well. The small martial arts school was struggling to survive, without any backing or connections. Today they drove away Luo Jiu, but tomorrow another Zhang Jiu or Li Jiu might appear. Jiang Lei could hold out for a while, but not forever.

Lan He looked at him, her tone calm yet earnest:

"How about this, your martial arts school will move to the Immortal Dynasty."

Jiang Lei suddenly looked up, thinking he had misheard.

"In the Immortal Dynasty, my War King's Mansion owns quite a few properties, more than enough to house a martial arts school."

Lanhe continued, "Once you're over there, you don't need to worry about these trivial matters anymore. As for Yinyin... I'll take care of everything."

He paused, then added:

"This is for your own good, and also for my convenience. You can decide for yourself."

Jiang Lei stood there, speechless for a long time.

Relocate to the super dynasty...

That was something he never dared to even dream of in his entire life.

"Senior, this... how can this be done..."

Jiang Lei snapped out of his daze, waving his hands repeatedly, his expression filled with fear, and said, "I cannot accept such a favor without having done anything right. What merit or ability do I have to deserve such a great kindness from you, senior?"

Lan He glanced at him, his tone indifferent:

"Who said you accomplished nothing?"

Jiang Lei was taken aback.

"Jiang Yinyin has a special talent, so I took her away and trained her personally."

Lan He said, "Your willingness to hand this woman over to me is the greatest merit. There's no need to think about anything else."

Jiang Lei opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to begin.

Special talent?

He looked down at his youngest daughter, who was hiding behind her older sister and peeking out. He couldn't see what extraordinary talent this little girl in the Body Tempering Realm had.

But the other party is a Nirvana Realm expert, so there's no need to lie to him.

Seeing that he was still somewhat hesitant, Lan He thought for a moment, then took out several bottles of pills from his Qiankun bag and another bulging Qiankun bag, placing them together on the table beside him.

"These bottles of Blood Ginseng Pills can help you temper your physical body and break through to the Qi Creation Realm. In addition, here are 100,000 Nirvana Pills, which will be used for your martial arts school's relocation and resettlement."

He paused, then added, "I'm giving you this much first, not because I'm stingy, but because I'm afraid giving you too much would make things difficult for you. As for whether you believe me or not, that's up to you to decide."

Jiang Lei's gaze fell on the table, and he froze.

The elixir that aids in breaking through to the Qi Creation Realm: 100,000 Nirvana Pills.

He had spent most of his life struggling in the Great Yan Dynasty, and he had never even seen what a Nirvana Pill looked like, let alone possessed one. As for a number of 100,000, he didn't even dare to think about it. Even for behemoths like the four major clans, it would probably take a huge amount of effort and exhaust their entire treasury to produce that number at once.

The young man in white simply placed the item on the table casually, speaking as if he had only tossed away a few pieces of silver.

Jiang Lei's Adam's apple bobbed, and at that moment, the last trace of doubt in his heart finally vanished.

There's really no need to cheat someone as wealthy and powerful as him.

They gave us way too much.

"Senior..." Jiang Lei's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes even reddened a little, "This kind of generous gift is truly undeserved for this junior..."

"Keep it."

Lan He didn't give him a chance to refuse; his tone remained calm, yet carried an unquestionable air.

"Get ready within three days and come with me to the imperial city via the teleportation array."

Jiang Lei's throat bobbed, a thousand words stuck in his chest, but in the end, they all turned into a heavy nod.

"...Yes. This junior thanks you for your great kindness, senior."

He lifted his robe to kneel, but was gently supported by a soft force of energy.

"There's no need for that."

Lan He withdrew his hand, his gaze passing over Jiang Lei's slightly trembling shoulder and landing on the little girl behind him who was clinging to her sister's clothes and had a pair of big, bright black eyes.

"Take good care of her, that's enough to thank me."

His voice remained calm, but for some reason, it sounded exceptionally gentle at this moment.

Jiang Yinyin met his gaze and blinked, looking confused.

She didn't fully understand what had happened. She didn't know that the wealth on the table was enough to drive the entire Great Yan Dynasty crazy, nor did she know that the white-robed elder brother in front of her had casually promised an opportunity that countless martial artists in the entire Great Yan Dynasty sought but could not obtain.

All she knew was that this older brother helped her beat up the bad guy who bullied Brother Lin Dong, and gave her father many, many things, so that her father would no longer look so worried.

So she blinked, and then quietly curved her eyes into two small crescent moons.

Big brother, you're the best.
