Even this movement seemed very weak.
Wei Tu knelt down beside the old woman's bed.
“Ancestor…Disciple Wei Tu.”
The old woman smiled sincerely, but no one knew exactly why she was smiling.
"Good child...you're so beautiful..."
Her voice was weak and hoarse.
The boy seemed heartbroken, as if he had seen an old man like a candle flickering in the wind, and it was only natural that he felt sadness.
"What instructions does the Ancestor have for his disciple? ... The disciple will do his utmost to live up to the Ancestor's expectations."
So disgusting.
Ran Xinxue felt disgusted at the sight.
In her view, the boy was so humble and even obsequious because he was afraid that the old woman would be dissatisfied with his attitude and not give him the last fortune.
You should know that he has never been this humble even when facing me.
Especially when she thought about how this boy had hugged her the day before, Ran Xinxue felt disgusted.
She stood aside, waiting for the situation to change.
The old woman looked at the boy and nodded with very small gestures.
"Good boy... there's nothing more to tell you... there are some places I haven't been able to reach... only young people like you can go and reach them..."
The kneeling boy seemed to be in extreme pain, "Grandmaster, please don't say that... Grandmaster, you live as long as the heavens, you'll be alright..."
"Hehe... 'Longevity equal to heaven' is too much of an exaggeration. You don't need to fawn over me at this time... Do you know why... I want to see you one last time?"
Wei Tu shook his head, looking completely bewildered.
"This disciple does not know..."
The old woman managed a weak smile, looking just like a kind and gentle old woman, a benevolent elder, whose words were kind even as she was about to die.
"Perhaps it was because of my past selfishness... perhaps it was because I didn't want others to surpass me... so there are some things that even your sect leader didn't obtain. But now that it's futile and we can't defy fate, some things should still be passed down... Wei Tu, I ask you... do you have the determination and responsibility to shoulder the sect's burdens?"
Wei Tu looked at the old woman as if he were somewhat flattered.
"This disciple is of shallow virtue... certainly not the best disciple in the sect... but if this is your instruction, Ancestor, this disciple will do his best and will certainly not let you down!"
"Good... This is the spirit that disciples of the Yuanjian Sect should have... Cough cough... Xinxue, give him the things."
The old man, whose real name was Ruoyuan and whose real name had long been forgotten, seemed extremely gratified, a sight that moved people to tears.
What a touching scene of a loving teacher and filial piety!
It was as if the dying flames had been passed on to a new field, to continue burning.
But Ran Xinxue felt only a bone-chilling coldness in her heart, and she suddenly felt that she couldn't take a step.
When the moment actually arrived, she suddenly felt a sense of fear and dread.
Until she saw Ruoyuan's eyes.
She understood that she was no longer able to remain uninvolved in this situation, and that nothing would change.
Because of this old man, he completely controlled his own life and death.
So she stepped to the bedside and took out a scroll of martial arts manual from under the old man's pillow.
Yes, anyone would think this is a cultivation technique, especially when she saw Wei Tu's almost undisguised excitement.
She suddenly felt a bit cheerful again.
Haha, you have that kind of expression too.
We're all just ordinary people struggling in a game of self-interest.
But it seems... you'll be in an even worse situation.
"Wei Tu, receive the manual."
The young man in white immediately extended both hands respectfully and lowered his head.
Even Ran Xinxue could see his arms trembling slightly.
Her excitement finally overwhelmed her final struggle, and she stopped struggling.
Put it down.
Well... the dust has settled.
...PS: Brothers... Here we go!

92. The Report Blooms Alongside the Peach Blossoms (Part Two) - Bonus Chapter~
Watching the boy slowly take the dossier from his hands.
Ran Xinxue wasn't sure if she could describe her feelings as a sense of relief, but if she felt guilty, she certainly did.
But people always have to make sacrifices for their own future. If they don't want to sacrifice their lives, then they can only sacrifice their conscience.
Only children distinguish between right and wrong; Ran Xinxue felt that she had stopped thinking that way many years ago.
The old woman, lying on the bed, was extremely weak and on the verge of death, yet she watched this scene with considerable satisfaction.
The light in her eyes seemed completely out of place with her current state.
This radiant excitement was as if it were burning away all the embers of life.
She clearly saw the boy holding the file in his hands, but instead of opening it immediately, he kept stroking it.
The old woman was getting impatient and couldn't help but speak.
"Open it and take a look..."
It's like an elder giving a precious gift to a younger generation, wanting to see the children's excited expressions upon receiving the gift.
Ran Xinxue closed her eyes slightly, her breathing was very calm. At this point, she could hardly escape blame, but... it was no longer appropriate to talk about her position.
The young man in white then opened the file.
The movements were very gentle, as if you could feel the boy's excitement so intense that he was holding his breath.
"This is……"
He asked, seemingly with a slight tremor.
The old woman finally smiled with satisfaction and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"This is all I have to teach you... You must practice diligently from now on. To prevent it from being leaked or targeted by other malicious individuals, you must never let it circulate..."
That way, no one will know.
The chances of a genius like Lu Qingyan discovering this would be much smaller. Ran Xinxue couldn't help but admire how cautious this old fox was even at a time like this...
That's true. How could I not be cautious after planning these things for over a decade?
She was thinking this when suddenly—
"bass!"
Suddenly, a burst of flames ignited, seemingly illuminating half of the Baoguang Hall.
Suddenly, a fiery red light shone through the gloomy, sunless room.
Ran Xinxue was momentarily stunned, but when she turned her head, she saw the dossier burning in the white-robed youth's hand!
"Wei Tu! What are you doing?!"
Ran Xinxue couldn't help but ask, somewhat surprised.
But the flames in that instant had already engulfed the entire file, leaving only ashes scattered at the boy's feet.
He calmly lowered his head, dusted himself off, and then smiled.
"Didn't we say we shouldn't let it end up outside... so destroying it is the best way."
"So you've written it all down?"
"Yes, I've written it all down, word for word."
The young man said confidently.
Ran Xinxue breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully... nothing went wrong. At the same time, she couldn't help but chuckle to herself, her body almost trembling from the laughter in her heart.
Your memory is amazing! You can remember everything you see?
Have you ever considered that everything you write down might later become the source of your destruction?
Humans are nothing more than pawns controlled by their desires. I used to think you were special, but now it seems we're all the same...
They were even naive to the point of being foolish.
Ran Xinxue struggled to suppress her smile, but the old woman Ruoyuan, who seemed to be experiencing a final burst of energy before death, couldn't help but laugh.
"Good...good! This is the person I've been looking for...you are indeed worthy of receiving my inheritance! Hahahaha!"
Ruoyuan seemed to have no more worries. She knew that everything had been settled and there would be no change.
Then she laughed wildly, making her wrinkled face look even uglier.
The boy in white also laughed.
The laughter coming from the main hall, where people were supposed to die, seemed so eerie, so eerie that even Ran Xinxue felt something was wrong.
"why are you laughing!"
Ran Xinxue couldn't resist taking a sip.
Wei Tu smiled and stretched out her hand, seemingly wiping away tears from the corner of her eyes.
Then he shook his head.
"It's nothing... Ancestor, may I be so bold as to say a few words to you?"
"Oh? Please speak freely..."
