Chapter 417: A Gift of Thanks

The Sun had just risen, spraying down gold lights.

Inside an ancient room, two men sat on mahogany chairs and sipped on their tea.

One man had sharp eyebrows and a young face, it was Ling Xian. The other had big eyes and appeared stern, it was the Clan Leader.

"O Yang Leader, you sure are on time." Ling Xian sipped on his tea and said.

O Yang Leader smiled brightly, "To meet the savior of my Clan, how can I not be on time?"

"Let's get to it then." Ling Xian wiped off his smile, "After what happened, I'm sure you now understand the ambition of the mysterious clan."

"Of course. To provoke the O Yang Clan right now means they want to bring down the Clans one by one and control the Trading Island."

O Yang Leader exhaled deeply. Though they safely survived the war under Ling Xian's help, they lost a lot in the battle. There were countless number of wounded descendants, and three fallen completion levelled powerhouses. It was a heavy loss.

"Yes. We are on the same page then," Ling Xian softly nodded, "Then, I don't believe we need to second think about the alliance."

"Haha, naturally. The situation has turned for the worst and my Clan is no longer an outsider." O Yang Leader laughed, "Plus, you saved all the descendants of my Clan. Anything you request I will do my best to achieve."

"Then, thanks, O Yang Leader." Ling Xian smiled, very happy with the result of this trip. After going through the war, the already weak O Yang Clan was now even weaker. Despite this, it was a Clan with thousands of years of history. With that in mind, if he can get the clan on his side, it would be favorable for them."

"What are you saying, Master Xian? Do not torture me."

Hearing Ling Xian thanking him, the O Yang Leader brandished his hand and his face was full of appreciation. "Master Xian, if you didn't step up during the war, I would not be here conversing with you. So, the word 'thanks' should be coming out of my mouth."

"That's not important. What's important is that we have something to celebrate right now."

Ling Xian sipped on his tea and suddenly remembered about the two people he saved yesterday. He chuckled "Oh right, I almost forgot. Yesterday on my way here, I saved a girl named Wan Er. She said she's your daughter."

"Haha, yes, Wan Er and Da Yong have returned." O Yang Leader laughed and bowed down to Ling Xian, "I have to thank Master Xian for stepping out and saving my daughter's life."

"O Yang Leader, we are battle mates after all. You keep on bowing down and thanking me. That's not good." Ling Xian shook his head. He was rather casual and didn't want others to restrain themselves.

However, no matter where he goes, he is greeted by people's respect and love. This was probably related to his capabilities.

No matter where he goes, he is respected.

"Okay, okay, I have been too much." O Yang Leader nodded his head. However, his face still carried expressions of respect.

Seeing this, Ling Xian didn't argue any further, "Okay, since O Yang Leader agreed, then I will leave now."

"Why in such a rush? Why not stay a few days and give us an opportunity to be a good host?" O Yang Leader frowned slightly, thinking that the Clan hadn't thanked him enough.

"There's no need. Time is limited," Ling Xian waved around his hand. Remembering the mysterious House, he sighed, "Though all Clans have agreed to the alliance, we still do not know the enemy's capabilities. So we should be prepared."

"That is true. After what happened, the mysterious House is probably angry. We need to be careful." O Yang Clan's expression was dark.

"Yes, this is why I need to go back and get myself together. We need to seize the opportunity and attack first." Ling Xian grinned, planning on returning to the Yan Clan and declare war against the mysterious House with the controlling forces.

"Okay, when the time comes, let me know, we will not decline." O Yang Leader hit his chest and promised. His tone was determined and stern.

"With that statement, I now know I did not waste a trip by coming here." Ling Xian smiled brightly.

"Haha, why would I waste your time? Look, what is this?" O Yang Leader laughed. He then extended his right hand and a bubble of fog appeared on his palm.

"This is…"

Ling Xian frowned. Remembering about the source of the Hidden Territory he acquired from the City of Qing, he exclaimed, "The source of the Hidden Territory?"

"You sure have good eyes." O Yang Leader complimented, "This is the source of the Hidden Territory, it is most suitable to the completion levelled cultivators of the beginning stages. Thus, I want to give this to you."

"...." Ling Xian looked at Leader O Yang, finding it hard to believe that he was offering him something so valuable.

To know that the source of the Hidden Territory was very valuable. To any cultivator, it was a treasure difficult to get their hands on. To estimate conservatively, if Ling Xian swallowed this right now, he can save a few decades of hard work and breakthrough to the intermediate stage of the completion level right away!

It was obvious how valuable this gift was.

"O Yang Leader, this gift, is a bit too valuable." Ling Xian softly smiled.

"No. No matter how valuable it is, it does not match up to you saving my Clan. If my Clan wasn't so poor, we would be offering something better." The O Yang Leader felt a little awkward, "Master Xian, please accept this no matter what. Or else I will not feel at peace."

"I…" Ling Xian hesitated.

"Master Xian, do not decline. A war is coming. This can help you advance your training." O Yang Leader's face flashed with impatience, worried that Ling Xian wouldn't accept it.

Noticing his anxiety, Ling Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It wasn't the first time he was in a situation like this. But for someone to give a gift and forcing the other to accept was something he cannot truly understand.

But he knew that if the Clan didn't offer him something, it would be considered a little unreasonable. He also knew that the O Yang Leader was right. The war was coming and he needed to train.

Thus, he nodded, "If that's the case, then I will not decline any further."

"Haha. We are a family." O Yang Leader laughed, as if he wasn't the giver of an expensive gift, but a receiver.

From certain angles, he really didn't lose anything. He actually got a really good deal.

The value of having Ling Xian was immeasurable. To have gained his friend was something that was worth the entire O Yang Clan!
