My Enemy Became My Cultivation Companion

"Wan Xifeng, the person Wan Xifeng killed, was a newly-minted scholar named Du Bingkun. He came from a poor background but became Cui Bu’s student, the Family Head of the main branch of the Cui family, due to his talent and learning."

"And then?"

"Although Du Bingkun came from poverty... it’s said his father once saved a member of the Demon Sect back during his exam days. That member of the Demon Sect is said to be Gongsun Guan, the seventh-ranking expert under the heavens.

To repay this kindness, Gongsun Guan gifted Du Bingkun’s father a piece of golden paper. This golden paper... I don’t know its origins, but from my inquiries, it supposedly contains an exceedingly important Cultivation Technique from the Demon Sect."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi was slightly skeptical. On the surface, it sounded like a typical story of helping a great figure during their obscurity, but to casually gift such an important Cultivation Technique, even out of gratitude for saving one’s life? It seemed excessive, especially since Gongsun Guan was a member of the Demon Sect.

"That’s all?"

"Y-yes... that’s all..."

Cheng Lin gasped for breath, blood still pouring from his arm. Chen Yi’s series of questions earlier had left him no chance to stop the bleeding by sealing his acupoints.

"Thank you, Lord of the Zhi Ge Department... for sparing my life."

He deliberately emphasized the title "Zhi Ge Department," attempting to instill some hesitation in the man before him to prevent him from suddenly striking.

After all, those in the Zhi Ge Department were all entered into the Spring and Autumn Register.

Seeing Chen Yi remain motionless, Cheng Lin was about to extend his hand to press his acupoints.
