Li Hengsheng will soon leave Mountain Ancient Land for the National Guardian Mansion. Sohow, the news spread out. This decision shocked all the disciples in Mountain Ancient Land.
Because Li Hengsheng might be one of the few in the history of Mountain Ancient Land who was dispatched outside as an Inspector without reaching the Innate Realm.
In Cyan Rain Mountain, he wanted to pack his belongings, but after searching around, Li Hengsheng found he actually had no luggage.
He took a few pieces of clothing, brought along the Immortal-Extinguishing Spear, and that’s virtually all Li Hengsheng’s possessions.
Li Hengsheng didn’t know what profound aning the Grandmaster had in making this arrangent.
However, Xu Muhai felt that every decision made by the Grandmaster over the years was aningful, and that Li Hengsheng should just go ahead and do it.
"Senior Brother."
At this mont, an urgent voice ca from outside the courtyard.
The mansion’s servant hurried to open the door and found that it was actually Wu Santong standing outside.
Wu Santong ran over, out of breath. He had also heard the news about Li Hengsheng leaving Mountain Ancient Land for the National Guardian Mansion, so he ca anxiously.
"Junior Brother Wu, are you here to see off?" Forcing a smile, Li Hengsheng went up to greet him.
After the news spread today, almost no disciples ca to find Li Hengsheng, except for Xu Yueyue, Yan Yuyun, and Lin Tong, a few who were close.
When he beca an Inner Disciple, none of the others from different peaks who ca to congratulate him back then showed up.
It seed each one wanted to keep their distance from him.
Li Hengsheng understood why. A disciple at the Postnatal Perfection Realm suddenly being assigned as an Inspector to the National Guardian Mansion had a very low chance of returning alive.
The National Guardian Mansion is not a peaceful place. So sects of the Human Race send disciples there as Inspectors to maintain order and to restrict the Ghost Race. Before, Ye Qingchen was at Innate Perfection, so naturally, it was no problem.
But Li Hengsheng was only at Postnatal Perfection, an entire realm lower.
In everyone’s view, the sect was basically sending Li Hengsheng to his death.
If Li Hengsheng was destined to die, then what was the point of maintaining contact? It would be a waste of ti.
However, Li Hengsheng naturally rembered those who ca to see him off today.
"Senior Brother Li." Wu Santong said breathlessly, "I’m not here to see you off."
"Then why are you here?" Li Hengsheng looked at Wu Santong with so surprise.
"I want to go with you!" Wu Santong said firmly to Li Hengsheng.
"Go together?" Li Hengsheng couldn’t help but be stunned by these words, to go to the National Guardian Mansion with him?
"Senior Brother Li, I want to go with you, let follow you!" Wu Santong looked seriously at Li Hengsheng, his expression exceedingly earnest, and not at all like he was joking.
Li Hengsheng frowned and said, "Junior Brother Wu, do you know where I am going? That’s the National Guardian Mansion, I am going to be an Inspector."
"Even as an Inspector, you need people by your side." Wu Santong said, "I can stay by Senior Brother Li’s side, helping you handle so simple matters, surely I would be of use to you, please let accompany you, Senior Brother!"
"It’s too dangerous." Li Hengsheng shook his head; he didn’t want Wu Santong to take risks with him.
"I’m not afraid of danger." Wu Santong’s voice beca sincere, "Please, Senior Brother, give a chance!"
"Going myself is a matter of life and death, why do you insist on going with ? Staying in Mountain Ancient Land, staying on Muhai Peak, you will certainly have a better future, why follow to suffer?" Li Hengsheng asked perplexed.
"Hehe, I don’t know either." Wu Santong suddenly grinned foolishly, "From the first ti I t Senior Brother, I knew you are no ordinary person, destined for great things and to turn misfortune into fortune!"
"I am actually just a small figure. It may seem that I get along with everyone in the Outer Sect, and I’m familiar with all the Senior and Junior Brothers, but it’s all because I’ve thick-skinned my way around; I don’t really have any skills. After so many years, I’ve beco a drifter outside on Muhai Peak."
"Ordinary skills, ordinary prospects; I can almost see myself growing old now. My peers are all already Inner Sect Disciples, while I’m still just thinking about the next al every day. Honestly, I don’t want this kind of life."
"I also know going with Senior Brother to the National Guardian Mansion will certainly be dangerous, but fortune cos with risk; you either beco a worm or transform into a dragon. For , this is an opportunity, and I want to lead a different life."
At this point, Wu Santong’s eyes beca sowhat red, "Not afraid of being laughed at by Senior Brother, I’m from a small town, and my father runs a martial arts school there to support our whole family; I have two brothers, my father was once a Postnatal Peak Martial Artist."
"But later, he was ambushed in a competition and ended up disabled. My two brothers have poor potential too. My father’s greatest hope is for to one day beco an Innate Martial Artist and be his pride. He gave all his money to let take the entrance exam for Mountain Ancient Land, and though I got in, I found that the Innate Realm was still so far away, so out of reach."
"I’ve failed the Outer Sect assessnt twice in a row now. If I fail again at the next assessnt, I’ll have to leave Muhai Peak and go to Wanzai Peak; I haven’t been ho for two years, and I’m afraid my father will be disappointed when he sees ."
