Chapter 402 - 209: A Buddha Lamp_3
"The Cangyuan Realm is tumultuous and no longer peaceful; to survive here, one must prepare in advance or choose a side. However, I don’t particularly like working for others..." Li Changqing said this, then turned to Zhang Fuguang and asked, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhang Fuguang pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"I founded the Evergreen Commerce Association, but currently, it is still very weak. Whether it can survive in this turbulent Cangyuan Realm in the future is uncertain, so I want to ask you, Fuguang, are you willing to join the Evergreen Commerce Association? I need your help."
Li Changqing asked.
Hearing this, Zhang Fuguang did not immediately agree.
After a while, Zhang Fuguang shook his head and said, "Mr. Changqing, I left the Blood Shadow Sect because I was tired of such a life, so I don’t want to get involved with any power. I just want to live an ordinary life with my daughter."
"I understand." Li Changqing didn’t expect Zhang Fuguang to refuse.
"I stay by Mr. Changqing’s side to repay a debt," Zhang Fuguang said seriously. "Since leaving the Blood Shadow Sect with Yaoyao, we’ve fought tens of battles along the way, suffering quite a bit, and Yaoyao suffered with me."
"We were so hungry that we had nothing to eat. I did not wish to use force to rob and kill for things. I would not have wanted Yaoyao to eat food obtained like that, and when we reached Changting Town, I never expected Yaoyao would steal food to eat. At that time, I was completely lost."
"In that moment of crisis, Mr. Changqing, you saved us."
"That day, you gave Yaoyao twelve buns."
"So later, I found you, Mr. Changqing, and cleaned the yard for you at the Yan family, mainly to find an opportunity to repay your kindness, to repay the twelve buns you gave us."
"At that time, I decided to help you kill twelve people to repay your kindness. Once the debt is paid, I will take Yaoyao to a small place and live a peaceful life, with no further involvement in the affairs of the Cangyuan Realm."
"Hai Songtao of the Hai family, two Innate experts on the dark list, plus the Grandmaster from the Su family—I’ve killed them. I’ve now killed four people for you, Mr. Changqing. I still owe you eight lives, and once those eight lives are repaid, that will be when I leave you."
Zhang Fuguang said respectfully, "Please forgive me, sir."
Upon hearing Zhang Fuguang’s words, Li Changqing was momentarily stunned; he hadn’t realized Zhang Fuguang’s true purpose was to repay the debt for those buns, not to follow him.
But everyone has their ambitions, and Li Changqing couldn’t force others to do what they didn’t want to.
"That’s good."
Li Changqing’s gaze softened, smiling, "Actually, it doesn’t matter if you don’t repay; they’re just buns. If you can find a place to live quietly with Yaoyao, that would be wonderful."
"Repaying kindness is my life principle."
"Also, please forgive me, sir, for taking the liberty of eliminating some of the people who wanted to harm you. I know those people posed no real threat to you, so I acted unnecessarily." Zhang Fuguang knelt on one knee to apologize to Li Changqing.
"No, that’s not the way to talk."
Li Changqing shook his head, "You really did help me. Surprising that the Grandmaster from the Su family also fell by your hand, and at that time, I wasn’t at the Yan family. If they had come to the Yan family, the people there might have suffered. You’ve done well; alright, don’t kneel, get up."
"Thank you, sir."
Zhang Fuguang stood up.
"I respect your choice." Although Li Changqing felt a bit regretful, he understood that people have their own lives to lead.
"I hope I can repay the remaining debt, Mr. Changqing," Zhang Fuguang said earnestly.
"Alright."
Li Changqing nodded, "If there’s a trouble I need to resolve, I’ll let you know."
"I want to give you this."
With that, Li Changqing picked up the wood carving he had been working on today and handed it to Zhang Fuguang.
Zhang Fuguang looked at the item Li Changqing handed over, surprised to take it; it was a Buddha Lamp carved out of wood by Li Changqing.
The exquisite craftsmanship of Li Changqing extended to the lamp’s flame, which was vividly lifelike.
At the moment Zhang Fuguang received it, his expression changed.
Because he realized this was a magical artifact!
"Painting Treasure!" Zhang Fuguang exclaimed in astonishment.
"Yes, it’s for you," Li Changqing said. "This Buddha Lamp is for you; it suits you well and complements your abilities."
After speaking, Li Changqing waved his hand, and the Buddha Lamp in Zhang Fuguang’s hand flew out.
The lamp shot skyward, entering the supreme void.
In the next instant, there was a massive change in Zi Wu City!
At this moment, the entire world darkened; the Buddha Lamp’s power transformed Zi Wu City into night and day!
Enveloping it in boundless darkness.
Everyone in Zi Wu City looked up at the sky in bewilderment; it was midday, yet outside it was as dark as midnight.
Zhang Fuguang gazed at this scene in shock; the artifact was so powerful.
Could it reverse the yin and yang of heaven and earth?
"This artifact truly is..." Zhang Fuguang was simply at a loss for words.
This artifact was just too suitable for him.
His ability was to hide in shadows; if someone knew his ability and if it were daylight, his power would be useless, making assassinating someone very difficult and possibly exposing him to targeted attacks on his weaknesses.
