——(POV Li Huang, The Negotiator)——

"Get up! We still have 6 more hours to go!" The cheerful voice of grandpa Long could be heard when I and Cai ZhenKang were on the ground on the brink of exhaustion.

Gathering all my willpower, I forced my knees to let me stand. Cai ZhenKang was trying to do the same as we both were spent.

'I don't know how we can continue for 6 more hours.' I thought. I was starting to think if it was wise to get that much money from grandpa Long as it seemed he was intending to make me work for it— in a sense…

"Good, Huang, you have the backbone." Grandpa Long looked at me and said. I was so tired that I didn't even think of answering him and kept trying to stabilize my breathing.

"Cai ZhenKang, stop that weird thing that you are doing and get up." He then turned to Cai ZhenKang who had difficulty standing up and said. The way Cai ZhenKang was moving was more like some sort of weird dance compared to someone trying to stand. Then again, he too is tired enough that this is acceptable.

"Ha…Ha, yes." Cai ZhenKang said. I don't know if he was trying to laugh or he was panting. Maybe a mixture of both?

As I calmed my breathing, I thought about this past week. Yes, it has been a week that I have returned to our heavenly sword sect, and this past week was filled with constant training with grandpa. I think he somehow found a way to increase the difficulty of our training as we are unable to continue training after the third hour in this new training regime.

The beast hordes in the trial now seem like a distant good memory, as they were far more forgiving and gentle.

I thought about this past week as I defended my face and nose from the floor, it seems my knees gave out again…

——(POV third person, one week ago, eternal wail chasm)——

Li Huang got back to their tents as he really needed some rest after that trial and all the information that he and Li Long exchanged minutes ago.

As he was going toward his personal tent, he decided to go and have a talk with Hu Anjing. As their tents were close to each other it wasn't difficult to locate her tent.

Knocking on the door Li Huang waited for her to open the door. From the wait, he could guess that she was probably sleeping or at least going to.

Hu Anjing came to the door after she put on her disciple robes. She liked to change her robes to something more comfortable when she sleeps and as this was the first time she would get to sleep after a while, this desire was stronger.

"Huang!?" Hu Anjing said as she didn't expect to see him there as she heard he was training with his grandfather.

"Hey, sorry if I woke you up. Can I come inside?" Li Huang said with an apologetic tone as he too knew that they really needed some sleep.

"Don't worry, I was just trying to sleep." Hu Anjing said as she gestured to Li Huang to enter her tent.

"Did something happen? What do you want to talk about?" She looked at Li Huang's eyes and asked. she was searching in his eyes to see if she can find any clues there.

Li Huang sat on the edge of her bed and sighed. Hu Anjing didn't need to be told anything as she too sat on the bed beside Li Huang.

"Well, I got to know a couple of things today…" Li Huang told Hu Anjing about his parents and how they were still alive and how his grandpa hid it from him. He needed to talk about it with someone and from what grandpa told him, it wasn't much of a secret so there wasn't a problem with telling Hu Anjing about it.

"Why would he hid it from you?" Hu Anjing asked. She couldn't understand the reason for this secrecy.

"He said that as I couldn't do anything about it, it would only make me feel frustrated."? Li Huang explained. He didn't really think the logic was wrong or anything but he couldn't say the way it was used was right.

They talked about it for a few more minutes and Hu Anjing tried to comfort Li Huang in her own way.

"That aside, I need to tell you something but as I can't give you any details, you have to just take my words for it." Li Huang said after they talked about his parents. He knew that he couldn't tell everything to Hu Anjing no matter how much he trusted her.

Hu Anjing got more serious and nodded to him. She could understand that this was something that Li Huang couldn't divulge, so she had to make her own conclusions from the hint that he is going to give her.

"There is a war in the making." Li Huang said. The war wouldn't have anything to do with Hu Anjing but he wasn't going to take chances when it comes to her so he decided to give her a heads up.

Hu Anjing couldn't hide her shock when she heard this. She could easily understand that this war was something that involved Li Huang so she couldn't help but worry for him.

Li Huang who could somewhat guess what she was thinking about, put a hand on her shoulder to calm her.

"By the way, my grandpa figured out that I gave you the [Mortal body transcendence formation]." Li Huang said with a smile as he knew that this would change the subject easily and change the thoughts in Hu Anjing's mind.

Hu Anjing was so shocked that she momentarily forgot the previous discussion.

"Wha— How?" she said. Halfway in her sentence, she remembered that the only thing that mattered was how he figured this out.

Li Huang shrugged.

"Well, you are just too eye-catching." He said. Hu Anjing wanted to punch him for his tease instead of giving her a straight answer but she decided to wait for him to continue.

"You are almost at the intermediate mastery of the [Mortal body transcendence formation], it would be weird if someone at the level of my grandpa wouldn't be able to detect a technique that he too uses…" Li Huang explained.

Hu Anjing thought about it a little and could see that it wasn't surprising that the patriarch could detect something like that in a short time, when she had already formed the formation between her meridians.

"What did the patriarch say?" Hu Anjing asked as she was stressed about how Li Long reacted to it. She knew that it was not something that could be handled easily.

"He admitted that you are talented, but that didn't lessen my punishment." Li Huang said as he sighed exaggeratedly.

Hu Anjing swallowed her saliva and looked at Li Huang to see if she could see any bruise on his face. From what she knew from Li Long, he wouldn't mix family matters with personal ones, so he wouldn't let Li Huang do as he pleases just because he is his grandson.

"W-What is the punishment?" She asked after she couldn't detect any bruises on his face. After the medicinal bath, Li Huang took a pill that would help his body's healing factor, and this way his skin and internal organs were fully healed but his torn muscles needed more time to heal.

"We have to get married." Li Huang said with a stoic face while he was controlling his body so that he could be this nonchalant.

"Huh!?" Hu Anjing said as her mind stopped working for a moment. Li Huang's answer was nothing like what she expected and this made her mind freeze as she had nothing to answer to that.

"Yes, I told grandpa that if we were to get married there won't be a problem with you having something that belongs to the Li family and he accepted." Li Huang nodded.

Hu Anjing just now understood what is happening and despite that she would love to marry Li Huang and would have been jumping up and down if this situation was in her dreams, now that it was happening in reality, she had only one thought on her mind.

'Master is going to kill me.' She thought as she was thinking about Yuan Jia's reaction.
