Moreover, this Yvonne Taylor, so young yet possessing a bewitching figure and looks, with such a scheming mind—not that he, Edward Benson, couldn’t handle a woman like this, but he simply had no interest at all.

The moment the door closed, the smile on Yvonne Taylor’s fair face instantly faded, a flash of shame and viciousness passing through her eyes.

Edward Benson returned to his room, shook his head with a smile, utterly unruffled.

He had already made up his mind: at dawn tomorrow, he would leave the The Benson Family and head to the Yin-Yang Academy.

In fact, after the The Benson Family banquet ended hastily yesterday, he had wanted to leave the The Benson Family straight away. In the end, it was Grace Benson who pleaded with him bitterly; seeing his eldest sister’s heartbroken eyes, Edward Benson softened and agreed to stay a couple more days.

However, staying at the The Benson Family gave him no peace at all.

Soon, Grace Benson learned of Edward Benson’s decision.

Her beautiful eyes fixed on Edward Benson for a long time, Grace Benson sighed softly, “Xiao Yi, your big sister can’t persuade you to stay, can she?”

Edward Benson was resolute: “Big sister, there’s a long road ahead. We siblings have already broken free from this family. When we meet again in the world, won’t it be even better than now?”

With that, Edward Benson took something from his chest—a small pill bottle: “Big sister, here are three Dragon-Leap Pills. Take them.”

“What?” Grace Benson was momentarily at a loss.

The Dragon-Leap Pill was renowned, the most coveted elixir for cultivators at the Mortal Transformation stage. The value of each one was immeasurable!

Even with the wealth of the The Benson Family and the high status of Henry Benson, neither had ever taken such a pill.

Because the value of the Dragon-Leap Pill simply couldn’t be measured by worldly money. It wasn’t that the The Benson Family couldn’t afford it, but that they had no way to obtain it.

In the vast Qingluo Kingdom, only the Yin-Yang Academy could refine the Dragon-Leap Pill! And within the Academy, only Elder Shao could make it!

This showed just how rare this pill was!

Precisely because of this, Edward Benson offering three at once left Grace Benson utterly shocked.

Chapter 0014: Dragon-Leap Pill

Grace Benson’s chest heaved, her beautiful eyes fixed on the pill bottle, a burning light appearing in them. The allure of the Dragon-Leap Pill was such that even a self-reliant and proud girl like Grace Benson couldn’t refuse it.

However, Grace Benson quickly regained her composure, her bright eyes looking at Edward Benson: “Xiao Yi, do you know how rare these Dragon-Leap Pills are?”

“I have a rough idea.” Over the past few days, Edward Benson had read many books and gained some understanding of the general situation in the Yanluo Domain.

“And you’re still so generous?” Grace Benson asked deliberately.

“What’s wrong with being generous to you?” Edward Benson was taken aback. “You’re my sister, you’ve taken care of me since I was little. Never mind three Dragon-Leap Pills—even if you wanted them all, I’d give them to you.”

He meant every word. After all, Grace Benson had protected him time and again at critical moments, even risking herself to secretly copy the family’s martial arts for him. Although Edward Benson ultimately didn’t accept them, he still remembered her kindness.

Hearing this, Grace Benson was stunned.

After a long while, her eyes reddened and she choked up a little: “Good boy, your sister didn’t dote on you for nothing. But one Dragon-Leap Pill is enough for me.”

Such a rare elixir—each one was too precious. Grace Benson wasn’t that greedy. If it weren’t from her most beloved little brother, she wouldn’t even want one.

“Three pills—you have to take them, whether you want them or not.” Edward Benson pretended to be forceful. “Sister, I also heard you’re cultivating at Yunxiu Sect. Away from home, things aren’t as easy. Take one Dragon-Leap Pill for yourself, and the other two you can use for networking or exchange them with the sect for other resources.”

Without giving her a chance to refuse, Edward Benson shoved the pill bottle into Grace Benson’s hands: “No more turning it down, or I’ll get angry.”

Seeing Edward Benson’s assertive attitude, Grace Benson not only didn’t get angry, but felt deeply gratified.

For the first time, she truly realized that her little brother had grown up—grown to a level she could hardly fathom.

With such a Edward Benson, even if he went to the Yin-Yang Academy, he would never suffer any loss!

Cradling the bottle with three Dragon-Leap Pills, Grace Benson suddenly gave a sly smile: “Xiao Yi, you’re giving me three—aren’t you worried I’ll secretly give one to Henry Benson? After all, he’s my brother too, isn’t he?”

Edward Benson honestly hadn’t thought about that. Since he was giving them to Grace Benson, he hadn’t considered how she would distribute or use the Dragon-Leap Pills.

He smiled calmly: “Big sister, once I’ve given you the pills, how you distribute them is your business. Why would I care? As for Henry Benson, he’s enjoyed ten times the resources I ever had since childhood, and look at him now. Even if you gave him a Dragon-Leap Pill, would he really surpass me?”

A supremely confident answer.

Grace Benson withdrew her smile and said seriously, “Xiao Yi, I was just teasing you. Don’t worry, even though he’s my brother too, there’s no way I’d give him a Dragon-Leap Pill.”

Edward Benson smiled and said nothing more.

After seeing Grace Benson off, night had already fallen.

Edward Benson didn’t want to waste a single night. Martial cultivation is like sailing against the current—if you don’t advance, you fall behind. Every second counts.

The breakthrough from practicing “Minor Burning Art” still hadn’t been fully unraveled.

Although Edward Benson could basically deduce that it was thanks to that sacred scroll. But what exactly was the origin of that ancestral scroll?

By the lamp, Edward Benson meditated once again.

Moments later, the scroll once again teleported from his mind into the palm of his hand.
