Chapter 482 “The Divine Thief’s Inheritence [Upper Half] (p2)”

Just like that, the development of the ancient forest was now firmly planted into the ground and ready to be carried out. Unfortunately she still has to head to North Qing so the management of this place would have to fall onto Jin Wu Monster.

And as a precautionary measure, Ling Yue decides to leave behind half of the battle alchemists in the forest to avoid the soldiers of the Kai Jiang Manor from having a comeback. As for the rest, they would return to Moon City with the He Lao brothers while her party continued on with their main mission of solving the black fog.

“Sir Thirteen… If you are okay with this, why don’t us brothers call you Ling Yue instead from now on. Constantly calling you by your male persona is starting to get weird even for us.” The brothers suddenly threw this request out right before their departure, which baffled Ling Yue with their awkward looking appearance.

“Big Boss, I’ve known you for so long so there’s no need to be so formal with me. I’ve long taken you three as my grandfathers. If you don’t mind either, please allow me to address you as Grandfather in the future as well.”

“Yes, of course we would love that. The three of us are loners without children of our own so we’ve been discussing this for a while already. If we continue like this then it’s just a matter of time before our sect’s inheritance is lost. So, we would like you to inherit it and learn our skills.” He Lao Dai became ecstatic after hearing the frank response from the girl so he didn’t bother beating around the bush.

Like the Beastial Sect, most of the ancient sects that once dominated this landscape has mostly perished through the passage of time. If nothing was done, the Swift Finger Sect too would disappear after their generation, that was something the three brothers understood full well.

It’s not like they are afraid of death, but to see the very treasure that they worked so hard to safeguard falling into ruins after their time was through. Once couldn’t even begin to imagine the pain that must be inside their hearts at this thought.

Fortunately, that’s when Ling Yue appeared.

They’ve been secretly observing the girl for a while now, ever since they first went on that venture in the Tai Yi School. Whether it be her demeanour or character, it’s the perfect candidate to be the next heir for the Swift Finger Sect.

The implication of that meant Ling Yue was the perfect type of person to be a thief!

“…..” Naturally Ling Yue herself didn’t quite have the same opinions about herself, but against that level of bolstering, not even she could remain unmoved.

Why do I have the feeling I’ve been targeted long before this….?

“Lassie, are you unhappy about this because of what we specialize in?” Likely catching onto the girl’s woes, He Lao Dai appeared quite hurt on the surface.

“No, no, Big Grandpa, you are overthinking this. My hands aren’t clean either when I set up the Ghost Sect so I was just worrying about not being able to grow the Swift Finger Sect.” That’s the truth with no lies in there.

As the heir to Mr. Red Mist and Lady Jade Poison Hand’s inheritance, she’s already got her hands full from that. Now adding in the inheritance of the Swift Finger Sect, Ling Yue was honestly starting to worry about not having enough time to manage them all.

“So that’s why. Well then you don’t need to worry about that Ling Yue. With your talents, I’m sure you would become quite fluent in what we have in mind for you. What’s more, I and my brothers have thought this out too. We know you have a lot on your hands so we intend to seek out other heirs as well. If later on in the years when we are at the end of our life and we still couldn’t find a proper successor, then we will have to bother you to carry on our legacy as the sect leader. Right now, you can just focus on learning the two skills we have planned for you.”
