Burying Meritorious Deed and Name
Editor: Henyee Translations
Killing Dark Ancestor Xie Sanxiao was world-shaking news. Going instantly from an ordinary cultivator to a hero revered by the people, a normal person would find it very hard to bear the halos and sugar-coated bullets that followed.

He decided to bury his meritorious deed and name, not only for his and his descendants' safety, but also for the future of the entire Zuo family.
Even if he was tempted to accept this lucky windfall and receive this gargantuan honor which didn't belong to him, he couldn't guarantee that the descendants of the Zuo bloodline wouldn't be puffed up with arrogance in the future.
People who were swollen with arrogance made mistakes very easily.
