CHAPTER 483: CHAPTER 353: LEGACY OF THE MASTER THIEF (PART 2)

Unlike the Great Sects that still stand in the world to this day, the inheritance of Miao Shou Kong Kong Thief Sect is not exclusive. Ye Lingyue could still inherit the traditions from other Ancient Sects in the future should she encounter them.

Having said so much, Ye Lingyue felt it improper to go against Boss He’s wishes, especially since he had been of great help regarding Aguduo.

"Then, thank you very much, great-grandfather. From today onward, Ling Yue is a disciple under Miao Shou Kong Kong Thief Sect. These three kowtows are to express my gratitude to the ancestors and the three grandfathers." After saying these words, Ye Lingyue respectfully kowtowed three times toward Boss He and Third Brother He.

Both elders looked pleased; their old faces beaming like chrysanthemums.

Due to being outdoors, after her kowtows, Ye Lingyue was considered a member of Miao Shou Kong Kong Thief Sect.

Recalling how the Hundred Beasts Sect left Aguduo such a legacy, Boss He, as the Sect Leader of Miao Shou Kong Kong, naturally did not want to appear too shabby.

Unfortunately, most of his wealth was left in the Treasure Cave, and he couldn’t bring out much at the moment.

"Girl, Miao Shou Kong Kong Sect is not like other sects; we do not excel in Martial Arts. This time we two brothers also came in a hurry, without much preparation, but for now, I’ll impart you two things."

As he spoke, Boss He took out a stone carving and a pair of flesh-colored gloves from his person.

Especially the gloves; if one didn’t look closely, it was virtually invisible.

The stone carving detailed a Fifth Tier Technique called ’Stealing Heaven and Changing Earth,’ and the gloves, named ’Dragon Claw Hand,’ are a revered treasure passed down through the Miao Shou Kong Kong Sect.

"Don’t underestimate these gloves. Although inconspicuous, they were actually left by a Great Power from the Ancient Times within our sect. It’s said to be made from the claws of an Ancient Divine Dragon. Extremely sharp, impervious to blades, immune to both fire and water. With them, whether picking Poison Grass or retrieving chestnuts from the fire, everything is as easy as turning your hand."

Although Boss He’s words were somewhat exaggerated, they weren’t far from the truth.

The Dragon Claw Hand was a High Grade Spiritual Treasure. Although it couldn’t be used as a weapon for attacking or overcoming foes, when it comes to stealing or snatching treasures, it was truly top-notch.

"Also, once you master Stealing Heaven and Changing Earth, the benefits are even greater. Just watch." Boss He, seemingly afraid that Ye Lingyue wouldn’t believe the benefits of this treasure, put on the gloves.

Right before Ye Lingyue’s eyes, Boss He’s hands suddenly vanished.

When they reappeared, Boss He held a token in his hands.

Ye Lingyue was startled upon seeing the token.

Wasn’t that the Phoenix Token given to her by Feng Xun? She quickly checked her clothes and found that the Phoenix Token had indeed disappeared.

As an Alchemist, Ye Lingyue’s Five Senses and Six Consciousness had reached a significant level. She never imagined something could be stolen from her so easily under such circumstances.

"Hehe, girl, scared you, didn’t I?" Boss He was quite pleased with himself. Stealing Heaven and Changing Earth combined with Dragon Claw Hand, the strongest stealing skills of Miao Shou Kong Kong Sect, could instantly render hands invisible, enabling someone to swiftly steal items from an opponent if quick enough.

"That’s for sure. Big brother’s Stealing Heaven and Changing Earth, even I and second brother can’t handle it. Many of the treasures in the Treasure Cave were obtained this way," Third Brother He said cheerfully.

Boss He gave a few coughs and shot a look at his brother; this embarrassing matter and that old guy still blabbers about it.

Boss He was just about to return the Phoenix Token to Ye Lingyue when he took a closer look and hesitated.

"Girl, why do you have a Feng Residence’s Phoenix Token on you?"

Not many outsiders knew about the Phoenix Token from Feng Residence; Ye Lingyue herself only knew the extraordinary significance of the Phoenix Token after being told by Cong Lv.

But who was Boss He? He had seen countless treasures, how could he not recognize the Phoenix Token that symbolizes the lady of the house of Beiqing Feng Mansion?

"That was a gift from a friend. I plan to return it to him when I get to Beiqing," Ye Lingyue said with a bit of embarrassment.

She had no idea that Boss He’s stealing skills were so formidable.

It seems that in the future, significant items are better kept in Hong Meng Heaven.

"Your friend, is he Tenth Young Master Prince Feng? Ling Yue, you and Prince Feng... well, it’s your young people’s affair, we old bones shouldn’t interfere too much. But the Phoenix Token is no small matter; if you also have affections for Prince Feng, accept it, but if not, return it sooner rather than later," Boss He said earnestly.

When Ye Lingyue and Feng Xun first came to Treasure Cave, Third Brother He already noticed that Feng Xun regarded Ye Lingyue as special, but he didn’t expect Feng Xun to value her so highly.

That Phoenix Token was tantamount to an item ensuring mutual understanding.

"I understand, great-grandfather, why did you look so strange when you saw the Phoenix Token?" Ye Lingyue noticed Boss He’s expression.

"Apart from the Phoenix Token’s own value, my master once told me that the Phoenix Token of Beiqing holds a huge secret, but what exactly it is, remains unknown," Boss He said, handing the Phoenix Token back to Ye Lingyue.

"This Feng Xun, really, giving away such an important item so casually."

Ye Lingyue took a few more glances at the Phoenix Token, and without another word, thought to herself that she must return the Phoenix Token to its rightful owner once she reached Beiqing.

Boss He solemnly handed the stone carving and gloves to Ye Lingyue.

"Great-grandfather, I will accept the stone carving. This item is too precious; you should keep it for self-protection," Ye Lingyue demurred.

"Girl, don’t push it away. Your visit to Beiqing also aims to make a venture into Xingxiu Cave. We old fellows can’t be of much help. Not to mention anything else, just to seize the secret treasure from Xingxiu Cave, these Dragon Claw Hands are essential. Moreover, just imagine how refreshing it would be to snatch treasures right from under the noses of those famous schools on the Righteous Path," Third Brother He said as he also took out an item.

"Since big brother has given a gift, I, playing the role of second grandfather, cannot be too rude. This is called a Breath Concealing Pearl. By holding this in your mouth, it can hide your breath, and when used in combination with your Invisibility Elixir, it should be infallible. As for second brother, haha, when you return to Moon City later, just trick him a bit. That guy is usually stingy, but actually, he has the most valuable items on him."

Boss He and his two brothers, well past their prime, only recently met Ye Lingyue, yet felt a kinship as if they had known each other for ages. After advising her further, they finally bid farewell to Ye Lingyue.

After seeing off the He brother-duo, Aguduo and Jin Wu Old Monster also made some progress discussing the development of the Ancient Forest.

Jin Wu Old Monster’s idea was to sell some of the secret treasures of the Hundred Beasts Sect to attempt building a Ten Thousand Beasts Territory in the forest.
