“Ah? Now?” Hong Xingyu was first surprised, then elated! He thought that Hong Dali was just trying to bluff Bei Mingxuan and the rest when he said that he had a copy. Who knew that he would actually have a backup!

“Good, good!” Hua Yueling laughed. “My heart ached when I saw Bei Mingxuan destroying the secret manual. However, I knew that my sweetheart would have the foresight to make a backup first. Now it’s all settled. He tore the secret manual and paid up. The footage is available around the entire world. It’s impossible for him to ask for the ‘Three Realms Sword Record’ back now. This secret manual is truly in our Hong Family’s possession now. Hahahaha!”

She was not wrong.

If Bei Mingxuan did not tear the secret manual apart back then and asked for it back directly, there was no excuse for Hong Xingyu to reject him. However, since he was so stubborn and rude, he basically gave a Star Sector-level Cultivator’s secret manual to the Hong Family for free!

“Hahahaha. Unexpected, unexpected!” Hong Xingyu laughed. “This time we won big!”

“Great-grandfather, I’ll write down the entire secret manual now. You can take a look and see what’s useful to you.” Although Hong Dali was still very weak, he understood that time was tight now. It was fine for him to suffer a little, but not for great-grandfather to lose the combat duel in three months’ time!

“Sweetheart, why, why are you in such a rush? Rest well first!” Hong Xingyu’s heart ached when he saw the state that Hong Dali was in.

This kid looked like a heartless prodigal. However, he understood the importance of everything deep down!

“Ah, I’m fine, it’s okay.” After all, rest was not really useful in Hong Dali’s case anyway. Hence, Hong Dali immediately wrote down the entire secret manual decrypted by the System.

“This… this is…” After Hong Xingyu and Hua Yueling saw the secret manual written by Hong Dali, they shared a look of surprise.

It was because the secret manual that Hong Dali wrote down was very different from the previous version in the book.

To be precise, all of the theories had become easier to comprehend after the System’s analysis. They were no longer the convoluted, complex statements from the Cultivators’ universe. Hence, Hong Xingyu instantly understood that this was a true treasure!

After all, as a member of the royal family within the Shenglong Royal Family, Hong Xingyu received plenty of secret manuals from the Cultivators’ universe.

However, the language in those manuals was too complicated for him to analyze the actual important segments. After all, the main source of energy in this dimension was Dark Energy. Warriors mainly relied on Dark Energy to strengthen their bodies.

Things were different in the Cultivators’ universe. The training system there was completely different. Hence, he could only select the portions applicable to this universe in order to strengthen his own training method.

However, the problem was the difficulty in extracting that information. Although Hong Xingyu had been alive for a few centuries, he still never discovered a way to strengthen the Hong Family’s “Realm King Fist”.

Now that Hong Dali had written this down…

“Done, great-grandfather.” Hong Dali smiled and handed the paper over to Hong Xingyu. “It should be fine now.”

“Good child…” Hong Xingyu dotingly patted Hong Dali on the head and said, “Go back and rest first. I’ll send you to the Shenglong Royal Family Divine College tomorrow. After all, you insulted the Bei Family and Zhu Family severely today. I’m worried that they’ll try to harm you. Hence, don’t leave college for this period of time unless there really is an emergency. That’s a neutral area where family feuds cannot be amplified. To put it simply, no murders will be allowed there. It’s relatively safe.”

Naturally, Hong Dali knew that Hong Xingyu was doing this to protect him.

After all, the Bei Family and Zhu Family were deeply embarrassed by me today. It’s impossible for them not to seek revenge. Hence, it’s not a bad choice to head to the Royal Family Divine College. However, I have to hurry and head to the Jade Tree first to squander properly. Otherwise, I’ll have a really hard time at the college without Health points.

Hong Xingyu and Hua Yueling sent Hong Dali back to his place to rest. Afterward, they returned to their own room. Hong Xingyu said in a deep voice, “Yueling, I’ll prepare to train in seclusion. The covenant of reneging on marriage is crucial for us. I can’t be complacent about it.”

“Yes, I understand.” Hua Yueling nodded and looked at Hong Xingyu. She suddenly said, “Old man, don’t you think our sweetheart is so smart? For instance, I didn’t expect him to keep a copy of the security footage right after he scammed Bei Yuanqing for fifty million dollars. If it wasn’t for that, things would’ve been a lot more complicated today.”

“How can the descendant of our Jun’er be simple?” Hong Xingyu laughed and touched his beard. “However, something feels off about today. Think about it. How could they have come at such precise timing?”

“Could it be…” Hua Yueling angrily thought. “There are traitors in our Hong Family?!”

“I think so.” Hong Xingyu nodded. “Think about it. After today, Dali will probably be berated by his peers. After all, they will do anything when they’re jealous. However, he didn’t mention a single thing just now. This kid is so kind.”

“This little rascal.” Tears formed at the corner of Hua Yueling’s eyes. “He suffers alone just to ensure that we obtain the final victory. We weren’t wrong about him. Oh right, old man, there’s something I couldn’t figure out no matter what. Help me think about it?”

“Hm? What’s that?” Hong Xingyu asked.

“Think about this. Given our sweetheart’s careful planning, why did he cause a scene at the Elixir Room today?” Hua Yueling frowned and wondered. “Based on common sense, even though he has just arrived, he should know that he will most certainly get punished if he trespassed into restricted regions like the Elixir Room. Yet, he still did it. If he was reckless and dumb, that would still make sense. However, he’s obviously not like that.”

Hua Yueling’s words reminded Hong Xingyu.

Hong Xingyu stroked his beard and thought for a while. He mumbled, “True, this kid Dali shouldn’t have done that. Yet, he did. He’s so smart. If he was truly hungry, he could afford any restaurants out there with the money he had. Why did he choose to cause a scene in the Elixir Room and get scolded by the Elders?”

“Yea, he’s not in need of money…” As Hua Yueling said that, her eyes suddenly lit up. She violently slapped her thighs. “Haha, old man. I know! I know!”

“You know? Hurry, tell me!” Hong Xingyu hurriedly asked. Everything else that Hong Dali did was normal, except for this. Hence, he was very curious too. If he did not know the answer, it would be difficult for him to train calmly.

“Old man, think about this, let’s go through everything slowly.” Hua Yueling’s eyes were brightly lit. “Dali just arrived here. With his intelligence, he must’ve understood that he was not powerful enough. Since his attributes could not increase no matter what he ate, then apart from the two of us, who else could he rely on?”

“His lackeys!” Hong Xingyu said it without even thinking.

“Right. Then, what’s the fastest way to raise his lackeys’ strength?” Hua Yueling asked.

“Elixir Room!” Hong Xingyu finally understood. “If he had to spend money himself to purchase elixirs outside, how long would that take him? Now, this opportunity presented itself. He had the money, and he knew that he had to make use of the opportunity. So they went straight to the Elixir Room. He knows that with the two of us and his money, as well as the Cultivator’s secret manual as the final weapon, he can handle the consequences of causing a scene in the Elixir Room no matter what!”

“Exactly, that’s right!” Hua Yueling looked very content. “Old man, our Hong Family has another little monster!”

Speaking of which, Hong Xingyu and Hua Yueling never expected this outcome from the huge crisis today. It was not an overstatement to claim that the Hong Family and Hong Dali were the biggest winners in this entire crisis!

Bei Mingxuan and Zhu Yunzhou came personally to accuse them and humiliate the Hong Family. However, this head of the Bei Family, Bei Mingxuan, who was almost on the same level as Hong Xingyu, was utterly defeated by Hong Dali the prodigal. He could not even speak at the end.

The Zhu Family who came to renege the engagement was even more embarrassed. They were harshly insulted by Hong Dali in front of everyone. Even their improvised plan of suggesting a covenant of reneging on marriage was rendered useless when Hong Dali showed the Cultivator’s secret manual. All of this was broadcasted live around the world!

On the day of the duel, Hong Xingyu was 80% certain that he could emerge as the ultimate winner!

“Our little sweetheart.” Hua Yueling exclaimed proudly, “He’s indeed capable of stirring up some big storms. Look at this, within one day, our little sweetheart has obtained one super-rare top tier helmet, one Star Sector-level Cultivator’s secret manual, as well as twenty billion and fifty million dollars—sweetheart won back all the money he paid for the elixirs, haha!”

“Hm, and his lackeys all experienced significant attributes growth.” Hong Xingyu stroked his beard and laughed. “He slapped the Zhu Family and Bei Family in their faces. This little rascal, he’s taking them all on, and he’s dominating them, haha!”

Hong Dali’s performance today was flawless. Nobody could find a single problem with it.

Hence, Hong Xingyu and Hua Yueling were indeed overjoyed. Now that Hong Dali was part of the Hong Family, better days were sure to be ahead.

“Sigh, Jun’er will probably be happy if he sees this from heaven…” Hua Yueling looked at the ceiling and mumbled, “Dali, good job!”

“Yes, of course.” Hong Xingyu nodded. “Alright, I’ll train in seclusion now. Old lady, you need to personally accompany Dali to the Divine College tomorrow. Remind the mentors there to protect him well. At least don’t let him face any life-endangering risks.”

“Relax. That’s easy for me.” Hua Yueling nodded. She calmed herself down and sighed. “Sigh, speaking of which, our Hong Family hasn’t produced any geniuses since Jun’er left. The best talents within these few generations only reached the Fourth Order Star Sector level. No wonder the Bei Family and Zhu Family dared to come into our house to challenge us. We have to be careful about that. After all, we don’t have much time left…”

“Wait until the duel is over. We’ll think of something then.” Hong Xingyu nodded. “Let’s rest for now.”
