Chapter 48: Recognizing My Brother at the Third Watch Seeking Recommendation Votes

  "Venerable Lao Gui?" Wei He heard the words and was taken aback for a moment. Suddenly, he raised his head with wide eyes and shouted, "You actually know my master? What kind of person are you?"

  Haitian didn't have many friends in his past life, but Lao Gui was definitely one of them. Lao Gui was just a nickname Haitian had given him, his real name was actually Lie Meng, also a Sword God level expert.

  Lian Meng Jian Shen once told Hai Tian that he had taken in a disciple named Wei He, who was quite talented. Later, due to some matters, he was expelled from the sect, and afterwards, Hai Tian never heard of Wei He's whereabouts again.

  "It turns out that this guy is a disciple of Lao Gui, no wonder the name sounds a bit familiar." Hai Tian muttered to himself in a sudden realization.

  However, his words caused Wei He to be suspicious: "Stop hiding from me, what kind of person are you? If you dare to harm my master, I will never let you go!"

  This sentence is full of murderous intent and is completely different from Wei He's previous calm and peaceful demeanor.

  Although Wei He has been expelled from Lao Gui's sect, he can still think of his master, which makes Hai Tian feel relieved but also extremely headache.

  "Grandpa, big brother, what are you doing? Aren't we friends?" Little Wei Hai was very young but very clever and immediately noticed the change in atmosphere between his grandfather and Hai Tian.

  Perhaps it was the anxious expression on Wei Hai's face that affected Wei He's emotions, and he gradually calmed down, but his gaze remained fixed on Haitian, looking like he wouldn't let go until things were clear today.

  Haitian himself was also very headache, must he say out his true identity?

  If he could really say it out loud, wouldn't that pose a danger to his own safety? After all, the gap between his current strength and those true masters was just too great.

  Tortured, extremely tortured.

  Wei He wasn't a fool, and at this moment he could naturally see the complex emotions in Haitian's heart. When he heard Haitian call him "Lao Gui", he knew that this little guy must have a deep relationship with his master.

  As far as he knew, there was only one person in the entire Soul Sword Continent who dared to call him "Shi Zun" like that, but that person had already fallen. How could it be possible for him to appear here, and still just a young boy's appearance?

  "Are you... Master Shu?" Wei He understood that Hai Tian didn't want to say for sure, so he only asked tentatively.

  Hearing this, Hai Tian was taken aback for a moment, then nodded silently in agreement.

  "It's really you, you're not...!" Wei He was overjoyed the moment he saw Hai Tian nodding, his face suddenly filled with excitement, almost to the point of being incoherent, and his tone became even more respectful.

  However, he was interrupted by Haitian before he could finish speaking: "There's no need to mention past events. Tell me where the Salu family's treasure house is located? I'll go and get it for you tonight."

  "This is too much trouble for Master Shi, I'd better find someone else." Wei He immediately shook his head in refusal. Although Hai Tian looked very weak, he knew Hai Tian's true identity and didn't dare let him help him with things.

  "Looking for someone else? Where are you going to find someone now? And also have the ability to infiltrate the Sa Lu family?" Hai Tian coldly lectured, originally that arrogant Wei He was like a little sheep, meekly lowering his head and not speaking.

  Next to him, Xiao Wei Hai was stunned. He clearly felt that the atmosphere between Haitian and his grandfather had changed. In the past, it was his grandfather who dominated, but now Haitian seemed to have become the center.

  "No more nonsense, although you're no longer Lao Gui's apprentice, but if you call me Shifu, I'll have to help you out. Besides, in the future, I'll also need your help." Hai Tian waved his hand and sat down directly, not giving Wei He a chance to refuse.

  "But, Master Shifu, the Salu family's defense is tight, with many patrol teams, especially around the treasure vault, which is heavily guarded. With your current strength..." Wei He hesitated, his words unfinished, but the meaning was clear.

  However, Hai Tian sneered and said: "Have you forgotten who I am?"

  At these words, Wei He was taken aback and suddenly exclaimed: "Right! You are my uncle's teacher. With your help, uncle, we will surely succeed."

  After hearing Wei He's flattering words, Hai Tian's face also showed a proud expression. In his previous life, he was known for his stealthy assassinations, and it was no different in this life.

  With a sword sense of Sword Emperor level, combined with the Five Elements Escape Technique, it is very difficult to find someone in the entire Blackstone City who can discover him.

  Afterwards, Hai Tian also stopped speaking and quietly sat down, taking out a Bi Yun Dan from his storage ring and swallowing it. Although the effect of treating internal injuries wasn't too remarkable, it was better than nothing.

  Xiao Wei Hai looked on curiously at the strange conversation between Hai Tian and his grandfather, even though he was very clever, but he didn't understand the meaning behind their words.

  "Little Hai, go out and keep watch. Don't let those lackeys from the Sa Lu family come to disturb Master Shu." Seeing Haitian start to recover, Wei He told Wei Hai to go out and keep watch, after all, Haitian was still a wanted man by the Sa Lu family at this time.

  Time passed quickly in the quiet retreat of the sea and sky, and the outside sky had also completely darkened.

  Every household lit up their lights, bringing a little light into this dark night.

  At this time, Haitian suddenly opened his eyes, and the gaze shot out four rays of light. Wei He saw at a glance that Haitian's internal injury had been completely healed, and he was shocked and wondered why Shifu would become like this.

  "Big brother, you're awake?" Xiaoyu exclaimed as she walked into the room and saw Haitian wake up.

  Haitian slowly stood up and walked to Weihai's side, saying dejectedly: "I also have a younger brother like you, but unfortunately I've lost contact with him now."

  "Well then, big brother, I'll be your little brother, okay?" Wei Hai Tian's eyes widened with an unmistakable look of longing.

  But before Hai Tian could respond, Wei He sternly shouted: "Hai Tian, don't spout nonsense! What status does Shifu have, how can he acknowledge you as his younger brother?"

  Perhaps it was Wei He's severe tone that frightened Wei Hai, causing tears to slowly seep out of the corners of his eyes.

  Ci'ai gently patted Wei Hai's head, and Hai Tian smiled: "It doesn't matter, being my younger brother isn't a big deal, is it? Besides, I'm just an ordinary young man named Hai Tian now, my identity is already in the past tense."

  "But Master Shu, this is also too..." Wei He wanted to object.

  But Hai Tian gave a stern glance, and immediately made Wei He retreat. It's worth noting that Wei He called Hai Tian "Shu Shu", while Wei Hai acknowledged Hai Tian as his older brother, so how should their generation be calculated?

  "It's settled then, from now on Xiao Hai is my little brother." Haitian turned to Wei Hai with a warm smile, "From now on, you can just call me Ge (older brother)."

  "Is that so? Tian Ge, Tian Ge!" Wei Hai excitedly called out several times in a row, his appearance somewhat similar to Xiao Yu's back then, causing Hai Tian to be momentarily stunned.

  Jian Haitian truly regarded Wei Hai as his younger brother, and Wei He was also delighted from the bottom of his heart. Although Haitian has become what he is today, in his heart, he still regards Haitian as his former senior fellow apprentice. Even if he's no longer around in the future, Wei Hai will have someone to rely on.

  "Alright, you all just wait here for news of my victory." With a self-confident smile, Hai Tian's figure suddenly vanished.

  "Brother Tian, Brother Tian!" Wei Hai exclaimed in surprise as he saw Hai Tian suddenly disappear.

  Wei He was also stunned for half a day and only came back to his senses now, smiling: "Little Hai, stop calling. Shifu has already left."

  "Is that it?" Wei Hai rubbed the back of his head, only then realizing how formidable his sworn brother was. In his heart, he made a silent decision.

  At this time, Hai Tian had already quickly left the Wei He's house through the Five Elements Escape Technique and was moving towards the direction of the Sa Lu family.

  The sword's consciousness had always been spreading outward, so he wouldn't get lost.

  Before long, Haitian had already arrived near the Salu family and did not stop, diving in directly with one breath.

  The Sala family is very large, even bigger than the Hai family back then. Although Haitian has been here twice, both times he just stood at the door and didn't go deep inside. It's not easy to find the treasure room in such a large area.

  The sword's recognition immediately spread out, although the current range has not yet recovered to its peak period, but covering a small Salu family is still very easy.

  Haitian plans to use Sword Intent to find the treasure trove. There must be many masters around the treasure trove, as long as he can find these masters.

  However, after searching for a while, Haitian did indeed find several places where the Great Swordsmen existed, but they dispersed quickly and didn't gather together, indicating that their location would absolutely not be the treasure trove.

  Haitian immediately set his sights on the Sword Master level experts. The Salu family indeed had many Sword Master level experts, but what surprised him was that these Sword Master level experts were each leading a few Sword Servant level guards in constant patrol.

  The location has been changing all along and is not fixed at all. It's obvious that it can't be the guardian of a treasure house.

  It's strange, where is this treasure house after all? How can't even his sword spirit explore it out?

  Haitian couldn't help but scold himself in his heart for rushing out too quickly earlier, and had forgotten to ask Weihuo about the location of the treasure trove. However, upon further thought, with his Sword Emperor-level sword sense unable to explore it, Weihuo's Sword Sect sword sense was probably no different.

  It seems that the Saru family must have a place where they can protect themselves from Sword's probing.

  Suddenly, Haitian thought of something. The seal outside the Treasure Pavilion of the Hai family seemed to have this function as well. It seems that without using some means, it is impossible to find the treasure trove.

  The sea and sky immediately parted, searching for a lone swordsman rising and falling.

  Soon, Hai Tian discovered that a Three Star Swordsman was wandering around the artificial hill, and the nearest swordsmen were all over 100 meters away, making it impossible for them to arrive so quickly.

  Haitian sneered and immediately dived to the side of that swordsman, suddenly jumping out from the pile of soil. In the gaze of the shocked swordsman, a cloud flowed out, a sword light flashed, and in an instant, it pierced through his chest.

  Looking at the swordsman whose eyes were gradually losing focus, Haitian said harshly: "You can go in peace now. If you want to blame someone, blame your clan leader Pali for trying to wipe me out completely. This is just a small interest payment."

  Deep red blood slowly rolled down from the Flowing Cloud Sword, and the swordsman's eyes widened, seemingly unwilling to accept it.

  He never dreamed that in his own backyard, he would be killed by someone, and what's more, just as a means to an end.

  "Bang!" The swordsman fell directly to the ground, losing his breath of life.

  At the same time, Hai Tian once again retreated back underground.
