I Am Born With A Silver Spoon novel Chapter 712

“Why would you say that he knew Chen Hao well?” asked Luo Ziyan while looking at the giant python as she wiped her tears.

“That’s because he knew this place very well. No ordinary mortal can break the formation formed by the Dragon Blood Jade that was given to Chen Hao, yet the elder undid it effortlessly. Also, he repeated Chen Hao’s name and the word ‘secret’ while examining the Celestial War God’s remains after he killed me, which to me was proof that he knew Chen Hao well,” explained the giant python. “He then took the longevity coffin with him after he couldn’t find what he wanted, but he overlooked my tremendous spiritual power as a beast who lived for more than ten thousand years. Even though my body has perished, my soul still remains, thus I saw everything!”

Chen Hao frowned in deep thought at its words. The formation was indeed from the Dragon Blood Jade, and no one else knew this place besides grandpa and Mo Canglong. Wait a minute, what about the mysterious man who hadn’t shown himself but left a note to lead me to the longevity coffin?

There is no telling if his grandfather and the others are still alive or not due to the trouble at the Holy Water Ritual. As for Mo Canglong, he was long since dead, thus Chen Hao did not even consider him, which left the mysterious man as the sole suspect. Could he be the culprit then?

But this did not make sense, as the mysterious man seemed to have led him to the longevity coffin out of kindness. Chen Hao remembered very well that the mysterious man had given him numerous clues given by the man back when he struggled to solve the mysteries surrounding the League of Sun.

Chen Hao began piecing together the ins and outs of that day. He thought to himself, I found the longevity coffin thanks to the map he gave me in secret, which he insisted I open myself before seeking Grandpa’s help. Because of that, I made a huge leap forward in my cultivation and defeated the Mo Family on behalf of my family. He gave me many hints about Ziyan as well. Did he lead me this far up until now to exploit me or put me in danger? This doesn’t make any sense to me—at least for now!

“Hao, have you ever met such a hidden master?” asked Luo Ziyan while looking at Chen Hao.

Chen Hao nodded after a brief ponder. “Yes, I had. Uncle Qin, my mentor whom I had mentioned before, is one such person.”

After giving it some more thought, he continued, “He is very powerful, so powerful that I’m afraid that I won’t even stand a chance against him even with my cultivation base now. To be honest, I’ve never seen his true prowess despite him showing me his abilities every day. I guess that summarizes his abilities pretty well.”

His answer alarmed both Luo Ziyan and Chen Pingan, for no ordinary man would have the ability to make Chen Hao feel uneasy with the strength he had now.

“But it couldn’t be Uncle Qin. He has always been kind to me, having saved my life and taught me his skills. Besides, why would he do that?”

Chen Hao was at his wit’s end; he had even assumed Uncle Qin to be the mysterious man who had been helping him in secret, which made him feel very at ease as it had always been whenever Uncle Qin was by his side.

“It sounds odd to me then. Why would he hide from you now if what you’re saying is true? Besides, if I'm not mistaken, the destruction of your Foundation was somewhat related to him!” said Luo Ziyan after some contemplation.

Chen Hao’s heart ached at her words, and he shook his head. “No, there’s no way Uncle Qin would do this to me. I wouldn’t believe he's behind all this until I have enough proof to convince myself!”

Just then, Fang Jiannan walked up and pointed at the giant python as she called out, “Look, Chen Hao! The giant python’s soul is fading away!”

Chen Hao looked over immediately and without delay, used his Heaven Abstruse Skills to try to save the glowing mass by wrapping his vital energy around it.

“It’s too late, Hao. My time has come. Don’t waste your vital energy for me! Remember what I’ve told you—be careful, and keep living!” said the giant python.

“No! I won’t let you die like this!” said Chen Hao as he released more vital energy.

“Thank you, Hao. It was a pleasant thing to have met you, a friend in this world who is kind to me and keeps me in your mind…”

With that, the giant python’s soul disintegrated into glittering dusts, shimmering like fireflies in the dark before scattering away into nothingness.
