Chapter 357: No Fate with Immortality
"You have done well."
Qin Sang had no deep attachment to the Qin Family, but having taken over Qin Sanwa’s body and inherited this causality relationship, he had asked Wu Chuanzong to look after Qin Sanwa’s close relatives for his own peace of mind.
Wu Chuanzong, however, had treated Qin Sang’s words as an imperial decree. Under his care, the Qin Family had risen from humble farmers to an illustrious aristocratic lineage. It could not have been done any better.
Qin Sang had originally planned to leave after meeting his old friend. But seeing Wu Chuanzong’s reluctance to part and Madam Wu’s hesitation to speak, he recalled his own past journey in search of immortality. He then spoke in a solemn tone, "You heard it just now—immortal cultivation is not the paradise people imagine. I can barely look after myself, let alone take on disciples. The best I can do is send them to a relatively safe place to cultivate on their own. If any of the Wu Family’s descendants are interested, they may come to me for an aptitude test. Of course, whether they choose to pursue cultivation or not will ultimately be their own decision."
He had neither the energy nor the capability to guide and protect them.
Even if some among them possessed spiritual roots, the most he could do was point them toward the Han Residence. How far they would go in the future would depend entirely on themselves.
After a moment’s hesitation, Qin Sang added, "You may also call over the younger members of the Qin and Bai Families in the imperial capital."
Leaving Wu Chuanzong to gather the younger generation, Qin Sang sat in contemplation before taking out a piece of white jade, crafting it into several jade pendants.
Past midnight...
The grand preceptor's residence suddenly erupted into commotion.
More than a dozen boys and girls were dragged out of their dreams. At first, they were annoyed, cursing under their breath, but upon realizing they were being taken to the grand preceptor’s residence, excitement quickly replaced their irritation. They huddled together, whispering in hushed voices.
