Jun Hie was the one to disclose the information of coming back ho with a Nascent Soul expert but he hadn't said much about the whole situation. Fortunately, the Fox Clan could recognise whom the Nascent Soul expert was without being told and it was obvious, everything about Haoyu scread ‘Cultivator!’ so it wasn't hard at all to recognise him.
But what was truly unfortunate, is the whole family completely disregarding Jace who later turned out to be the master of the Nascent Soul Realm expert and even scolded the expert right in front of them in order to make a good first impression and garner points from the family. And truth be told, it worked like magic because now, everyone looked at Jace with respect. How capable was he to actually have a Nascent Soul Realm expert as a slave?
The truth was that Jace didn't just embarrass Haoyu in front of everyone just to gain points with the family, he had also done it for another reason, a much deeper reason. As a webnovel subscriber, Jace had read an adequate amount of light novels and in all these novels, he discovered sothing.
He discovered that all the arrogant young masters in light novels either had fake friends or didn't have friends at all. What they all had was surbodinates but surbodinates couldn't compare with friends. He wanted Haoyu to look like an approachable person whom people would not find it strenuous to make friends with. Even though Jace himself didn't have friends, he knew of the importance and benefits of having them.
Also, he'd embarrassed Haoyu to also remind him that he no longer had a high and mighty status as the Young Master of the Song Family but was now a re slave of a trash person. What was the point of being arrogant when there was a leash on your neck and the one holding it, a completely weak person that cultivators would kill with a wave of their hand.
…
The Fox Clan mbers introduced themselves but there were too many nas for Jace to rember that he forgot everyone's na. Fortunately, Haoyu was by his side so he would secretly remind him of the nas of the people who'd approach him.
With the whole Fox Clan gathered together, a banquet was thrown to celebrate this day and everyone enjoyed themselves with the food and drinks. Today, Jace just focussed on food because everything was cooked to perfection, absolutely delicious.
After eating to his heart's content, Jace decided to take a walk and also tour the place. Haoyu was following behind him the whole ti.
…
Jace hadn't walked far when he suddenly received a System Notification and was pleasantly surprised.
[Ding! The Search Function has detected a treasure a few kilotres to the west. Please get closer for more accurate directions.]
“Haoyu, I want to go to the west of this place at your fastest speed. How long will it take us to reach our location?” Jace asked.
“A few minutes.” answered Haoyu.
“Then quickly take there.”
Haoyu waved his hand and two flying swords appeared in front of them. Because Jace had never ridden a flying sword before, he chose to hug the treasure tightly in order not to fall off and die. Haoyu also stepped on his flying sword and they quickly disappeared from sight.
The reason why Haoyu didn't take out the flying swords when leaving the Prival Forest was because he didn't have enough Spirit Qi to control two flying swords at the sa ti.
…
The duo flew for quite so distance before Jace finally received a notification from the System and it gave him directions on where the treasure was.
They flew at full speed for about ten minutes and finally reached their destination. Below them was a massive forest engulfed in black smoke, the tree leaves and trees themselves were dry, showing no signs of life.
Haoyu tried to probe the place using his Soul Sense but it was blocked by the black smoke which made Haoyu raise an eyebrow. When one reaches the Nascent Soul Realm, they receive an ability called the Soul Sense, an ability that acts like an invisible, 360 degree vision eye that can see through illusions, ghosts and other stuff that can't be seen with the naked eye.
Haoyu can see everything that is in range of his Soul Sense so when this smoke blocked his Soul Sense, he beca a bit worried but Jace just followed the arrow blindly.
…
After walking for about fifteen minutes, the duo reached the deepest parts of this place and also where the treasure was. Haoyu was afraid that danger might befall Jace so he created a Qi Barrier to protect Jace just in case sothing bad happens.
The core area of this place was a massive crater, at least a kiloter in radius. This crater also wasn't natural; according to Haoyu's deductions, a great battle had occurred here to create this crater. They flew using the flying swords towards the centre of the crater where two blood red daggers floated calmly.
When Haoyu's eyes fell on these daggers, he felt a great power contained within and even felt threatened by it. On the other hand, when Jace saw the daggers, sothing invaded his mind instantly.
‘Take the daggers and obtain great power! Take the daggers and rule the world! Money, fa, wealth, status, all of these can be yours if you take the daggers!’
[Peak Reversal!]
The invasive force tried to coerce Jace into taking the daggers but with a single activation of his Ability, the invasive force was forced out of Jace's mind.
