836: I don't envy changing my name, I'll stay by your side.

In the City.

A small courtyard house.

Xie Weilou flicked his sleeve, and Cui Xian's body appeared on the bed.

He looked at Cui Xian's body and murmured, "There are countless injustices in the world, and This Xie can't manage them all. But since I've encountered this, I can't just stand by and do nothing, otherwise my thoughts won't be clear."

With that, he took out a jade pendant from Cui Xian's body. This was the jade pendant he had given to Cui Xian earlier.

This jade pendant was not a wondrous item, but it contained a soul-gathering array and a qi-concealing array.

It could absorb a soul into the jade when a person was on the verge of death, deceiving the heavens.

Xie Weilou formed a hand seal, and a soul from within the jade pendant flew into Cui Xian's body. He then took out a drop of ageless spring and dripped it into Cui Xian's body.

Buzz!

As the ageless spring entered his body, Cui Xian's injuries rapidly healed. His ruptured heart frantically repaired itself, reshaping anew... Xie Weilou stretched lazily and walked towards the adjacent room. He felt a bit tired tonight and needed to lie down.

With the transformation from this ageless divine spring, Cui Xian's spiritual bone would undergo a dramatic change.

——————

The next day.

In the early morning.

Cui Xian, on the bed, had his body fully restored. He had transformed from the appearance of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old to that of an eleven or twelve-year-old.

“Sister…”

Cui Xian suddenly opened his eyes and immediately sat up, a look of panic in his eyes.

“Awake?”

Xie Weilou smiled as he entered the room.

When Cui Xian saw Xie Weilou, he paused for a second: “Brother Xie…”

He then said, “Brother Xie, am I dead? How is my sister?”

Xie Weilou said with a faint smile, “You’re not dead. I saved your life! As for your sister, she’s fine… I told you before, she’s not simple and has already been taken away.”

“Fine… As long as she’s fine…”

Cui Xian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He could die, but his sister could not be harmed.

However, after realizing what had happened, he immediately widened his eyes: “Brother Xie saved me?”

He still remembered that he had been pierced through the body by that barbarian's spear and had died. Had Brother Xie brought him back to life?

Xie Weilou said with a smile, “Look at your body.”

Cui Xian immediately looked at his body, which had shrunk significantly. He touched his face, somewhat stunned.

Xie Weilou sat down beside him and flicked his finger, sending an imprint flying into Cui Xian's glabella: “The full story of this incident is all within this. As someone involved, you have the right to know everything. Ponder it yourself.”

With that, he took out a flask of wine and began to drink it by himself.

“…”

Cui Xian stood frozen, numerous pieces of information appearing in his mind.

Soon, he understood everything about the matter.

He was merely a chess piece whose fate had been arranged by others, including his eventual death, which was also part of someone else's game.

If an outsider knew such a thing, they might be very angry, but although he felt some unwillingness, he was not angry.

Because he at least knew one thing: his sister had a true family, and his sister would have a very good future.

Cui Xian stepped down from the bed and respectfully bowed to This Xie Wei: “Thank you, Brother Xie, for saving my life.”

Xie Weilou said with a faint smile, “My arrival here, meeting you, eating a meal with you, encountering injustice, and finally taking action, all of it is fate! No one thought highly of you, because you, Cui Xian, are an extremely ordinary person. Precisely because of this, you should work even harder.”

“If you were to die, everything would be unrelated to you. But since you are alive, you should not live in vain. Your sister is destined for a boundless future, and you should not be mediocre. Otherwise, you might never see her again.”

Cui Xian fell silent. He bowed to This Xie Wei again: “Cui Xian's knowledge is limited. Please enlighten me, Brother Xie!”

Those people controlled his fate, those people were high above, and he was just an ordinary person. He had his unwillingness, but he was helpless.

Xie Weilou pondered for a moment: “Since you have been reborn, you shouldn't continue using your original name. Let's change it!”

“Xian means greed; Xian also means covetousness! Your character is simple and honest, without greed or covetousness. Coincidentally, my surname is also This Xie. From now on, why don’t you change your name to This Xie Buxian and stay by my side?”

After coming to the Eastern Barrens, besides Lin Qinghuang, he was actually quite alone.

Many members of the Xie Family had died. Having a young man named This Xie might not be bad.

More importantly, this young man was simple and kind, worthy of being kept by his side.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, there could be a Xie Family. Why couldn't there be a Xie Family in this Eastern Barrens?

No one thought highly of Cui Xian, but Xie Weilou felt the opposite.

Who said that only those destined by heaven could reach the pinnacle?

Must ordinary people be destined to be mediocre?

He had previously checked Cui Xian's body, and after the transformation by the ageless divine spring, it had undergone earth-shattering changes, acquiring a unique spiritual bone, allowing him to embark on the path of cultivation.

When Cui Xian heard this, he immediately bowed to This Xie Wei: “From now on, Cui Xian will be called This Xie Buxian. This Xie Buxian is willing to follow Brother Xie.”

He knew that Brother Xie's action was to protect him.

He had died and been reborn. If those people knew he hadn't died, they would definitely continue to target him.

Xie Weilou nodded gently: “Very good! From now on, I will teach you how to cultivate.”

With his current cultivation, establishing a sect was more than enough. Teaching someone to cultivate was naturally not a problem at all.

He took out a storage ring and flicked his finger, and eight arms appeared from within the storage ring.

Xie Weilou said, “These are what those four old fellows left behind. I'll give you one of the storage rings, and you keep the eight arms. If one day you can go find those four old fellows, you can also take out the eight arms.”

“Of course, if they are foolish enough to come looking for me, I can deal with them first.”

It would have been one thing if Cui Xian had died, but since he didn't, the opponent he would face in the future would not just be those four old fellows.

Behind the four old fellows, there were even more powerful existences.

With Cui Xian's strength, even if he embarked on the path of cultivation, it would be difficult for him to accomplish this in a short time.

However, as long as Cui Xian didn't expose himself, those people wouldn't come looking for Cui Xian; they would only come looking for him, Xie Weilou.

After all, these eight arms and four storage rings had severely slapped those old fellows in the face.

Those old fellows must be extremely unwilling!

This Xie Buxian looked at the eight arms in front of him and took a deep breath: “Brother Xie, don’t worry, Buxian will definitely work hard.”

Xie Weilou took out a silver ingot and handed it to Cui Xian: “Now go buy some suitable clothes and get something to eat.”

“Alright!”

Cui Xian took the silver, dragging his rather oversized clothes, and quickly left the room, acting very efficiently.

Xie Weilou looked at Cui Xian's retreating figure and secretly thought, “If the old master and old father are still alive, and I find them then, finding a place to settle down in the Eastern Barrens wouldn't be bad!”

The matter of the old master and old father was extremely suspicious. How could someone like Third Uncle let the two of them die just like that?

However, since Third Uncle hadn't explained everything, he had to hold onto a glimmer of hope and continue investigating the matter…
