Five days…
Five days seemed to be very short for someone trying to break into the immortal realm, but Shui Ying and Dino fully knew that Xu Rouguang had a way to raise his power even without necessarily activating the divine core. If anything, Shui Ying was starting to get scared of the Imperial Xu again.
The Imperial Xu was the oldest imperial family, the first to receive the gods and their blood. During the course of their history, multiple forbidden techniques had sprouted from their family books. Even if all of them had been looted by the Imperial Mao, they were all returned to Xu Rouguang.
Lai Mingyan was keeping his mom's emporium, but that didn't mean the son wouldn't be taking out books from it. One of the first few things he learned from his father was to spoil Xu Rouguang. He knew that his dad wouldn't be happy if Xu Rouguang had to beg even his adopted son that he treated as his own.
