Chen Tong warned, "Also, if Landlord Long hears you, you’ll both be strung up in a tree."
The mont he spoke, Huang Guang and Kong Fang both stopped their discussion, looking awkward.
Shen Bai said, "Brother Chen, please sit. Is there another mission to be announced?"
Chen Tong was casual, sitting opposite Shen Bai. He looked at Amber in Shen Bai’s arms, a look of envy on his face. "A Deceitful Beast... there aren’t many in the entire Observatory. Brother Shen, you’re truly fortunate."
Shen Bai smiled. "It’s just a cat."
When Chen Tong heard this, he suddenly felt that Shen Bai was quite a bit like a young Elder Mu.
Back then, when Elder Mu used his Wooden Sword to beat the swordsn of Fenglin State until they couldn’t fight back, he had also coolly remarked that it was just a single strike.
Now, it seed Shen Bai surpassed even that.
Chen Tong shook his head, casting these thoughts aside, and said, "Starting tomorrow, the Ding Twenty-Third Division, along with the entire Ding Division, will all go to Xuanxin Temple to maintain security for the Buddhist Teachings conference. If you have any personal matters today, you should arrange them as soon as possible."
He wasn’t a mber of the Ding Division, just here to pass on the ssage. After delivering it, he left the Ding Twenty-Third Division.
After Chen Tong left, Shen Bai went back to petting his cat.
As for the mission, that was a matter for tomorrow.
Huang Guang and Kong Fang started their discussion again, but when Shen Bai stood up, they stopped with great restraint and went with him to the Martial Arts Arena.
...
An entire day and night passed in the process of grinding his Skill Level.
When the next day arrived, the smoke before Shen Bai’s eyes changed again.
[Blood Sword Dance 300]
Today was the day to head to Xuanxin Temple. Shen Bai didn’t dally; he had a quick breakfast and rushed to the Observatory.
At this ti, a large crowd had already gathered at the Observatory.
These people were all mbers of the Ding Division.
Aside from the Ding Twenty-Third Division, who were newcors, the rest were all veterans.
The Buddhist Teachings conference at Xuanxin Temple was an annual event. Many of them had attended before, so they weren’t particularly excited.
Only Kong Fang and Huang Guang looked extrely curious.
When Shen Bai stepped through the Observatory’s gates, everyone’s gazes subconsciously gathered on him.
There was no helping it. In the Observatory, Shen Bai was currently a walking spectacle. After all, the two words "special recruit" were simply too dazzling.
The one leading them was a mber of Ding Division One nad Jian Taiwen.
Jian Taiwen was currently wearing the Observatory uniform and wasn’t carrying any Weapons.
But Shen Bai noticed that the shoes on Jian Taiwen’s feet were unusual.
’His ability is in his legs. That’s rather unique,’ Shen Bai thought.
By now, everyone had gradually arrived.
As the leader for this trip, Jian Taiwen began to explain the important details of the mission.
Not every unit within the Ding Division had only three people; in total, there were over a hundred mbers.
One group was responsible for external security, while the other was in charge of internal security.
Shen Bai’s Ding Twenty-Third Division was assigned to the interior.
In other words, when the Buddhist Teachings conference began, Shen Bai would primarily be responsible for maintaining on-site security with the other units.
This arrangent was normal. After all, if danger were to break out, the situation on the outside would be more perilous, so it was better to leave it to the veteran mbers.
After the arrangents were made, the group didn’t linger and set off toward Xuanxin Temple.
...
Along the way, everyone rode on horseback. Seen from above, the sight was quite magnificent.
The crowd moved like a torrent. Along the way, Shen Bai also saw many Jianghu People.
Since it was the Buddhist Teachings conference, the invited guests were all influential groups from Fenglin State, so naturally there were many of them.
The Observatory’s uniform was a symbol of their status. Along the way, whenever they encountered other Jianghu People, regardless of the size of their group, they would subconsciously make way.
Before long, Shen Bai and the others reached Xuanxin Temple.
This was the first ti Shen Bai had traveled so far from ho since arriving in Fenglin State.
At this mont, Shen Bai gazed at Xuanxin Temple’s ancient and solemn main gate, his eyes narrowing slightly.
The bronze-colored temple gates, illuminated by the morning sun, gave off a steady and mysterious glow.
The auspicious cloud patterns carved on the lintel were vividly lifelike.
The scent of sandalwood drifted to his nose, and the air was filled with tranquility and solemnity.
Along the flagstone-paved path, stone lanterns stood quietly on both sides. Occasionally, a few bees would flit through the flower bushes, making a soft buzzing sound.
Two Monks were standing outside the mountain gate, checking the identities of the arriving Jianghu People.
Each of the Jianghu People held an invitation.
The arrival of Shen Bai and his group imdiately drew everyone’s attention.
One of the Monks hurried forward to speak with Jian Taiwen.
"We are here to complete a mission. There’s no need to give us special treatnt."
Jian Taiwen spoke concisely, then turned to look at his n.
Everyone understood tacitly and began to split into two groups according to the previous deploynt.
The veteran mbers remained outside, while Shen Bai and the newer mbers headed into the interior of Xuanxin Temple.
Cradling Amber in his arms, Shen Bai stepped inside but didn’t see any sign of Wuhua.
At a grand event like this, Wuhua, as a high disciple of Xuanxin Temple, would naturally be inside welcoming guests.
Shen Bai was also carrying the Relic given to him by Elder Mu, and he planned to find the Abbot after going inside to complete his task.
Following the path from the mountain gate, it wasn’t long before Shen Bai’s group arrived at a large, open space.
In the distance, across the open space, a majestic hall stood in the center.
An old Monk with a long beard that reached his chest walked up, his palms pressed together. "Lord Jian, it’s you leading the group again. The rooms have been prepared in the sa old spot. You can arrange yourselves as you see fit."
Jian Taiwen nodded. "Thank you, Elder Kuyun."
Shen Bai looked around and, after a mont of thought, decided to first ask for the Abbot’s whereabouts and hand over the Relic.
Just then, sothing unusual suddenly happened.
A crazed figure rapidly approached from a distance.
