"Senior Brother Li." Wu Santong took a deep breath and said, "In one’s life, so things are actually more important than life itself."
"Please, Senior Brother, grant this favor!"
With that, Wu Santong imdiately knelt down and kowtowed to Li Hengsheng.
"Junior Brother Wu, get up quickly."
Li Hengsheng stepped forward to help Wu Santong up.
"Alright, if you want to go, then co with . If you find you can’t stay, you can co back, and I’ll inform our master to reserve your spot as a disciple at Misty Sea Peak." Li Hengsheng sighed lightly.
"Thank you, Senior Brother!" Wu Santong was overjoyed.
He sincerely thought that Li Hengsheng was soone with a bright future and prospects, so from the beginning, Wu Santong decided to win over Li Hengsheng, seeing it as an investnt.
"I’ll go pack my things first." Wu Santong hurried back to gather his belongings.
"Young Master, I’ll go with you too." Xu Kui walked up from behind.
"Uncle Xu, you’re going too?" Li Hengsheng said in surprise.
"I’m not at ease with you going alone." Xu Kui smiled and said, "Originally, the Master wanted to stay by the Young Master’s side. My old bones might still be of so use to you."
Li Hengsheng pondered for a mont and then nodded, "Alright."
Shortly after, Yang Tiantian and Ye Qingchen also arrived.
They were there to see Li Hengsheng off.
Yang Tiantian expressed her wish to go with Li Hengsheng, but this ti, Li Hengsheng directly refused. He felt that Yang Tiantian had already done too much for him, and with Third Senior Brother gone and himself leaving, it was evident that First Senior Brother would leave too.
Li Hengsheng hoped even more that Yang Tiantian could stay by Xu Muhai’s side. Otherwise, if there were no personal disciples at Misty Sea Peak, wouldn’t it be laughable?
Wouldn’t the disciples of Misty Sea Peak be bullied by the disciples of other peaks?
Yang Tiantian initially insisted, as she had promised Li Changqing to protect Li Hengsheng. But Li Hengsheng’s firm attitude made Yang Tiantian have to relent.
"Fourth Brother, let tell you about the National Guardian Mansion."
At this mont, Ye Qingchen spoke gravely to Li Hengsheng.
"Please, Senior Brother, go ahead."
Ye Qingchen was an Inspector of the National Guardian Mansion and was very familiar with it, so his opinion was the best.
"The entire National Guardian Mansion has four Inspectors, and our Dao Mountain Ancient Land is just one of them." Ye Qingchen said, "Our duty as Inspectors is actually to protect the local people, ensuring they are not invaded by the Ghost Race or bullied by so malevolent individuals of the Human Race."
"We Inspectors do not fight alone; we have our own forces." Ye Qingchen continued, "They are people who have lived in the National Guardian Mansion for generations as well as so officials. We are the newcors, and originally, this area of the National Guardian Mansion was a bit outside Beihan Country, so the real rulers are the people of Beihan Country."
"Above the Inspectors is the National Guardian. Major decisions are mainly made by the National Guardian, do you understand?"
"I roughly understand." Li Hengsheng nodded thoughtfully.
"So, by becoming an Inspector, I actually have quite a few subordinates to utilize, right?" Li Hengsheng relaxed at the thought that he could have his subordinates handle daily affairs.
"Theoretically, that’s correct." Ye Qingchen said, "Our Inspection Mansion has an Innate Divine Hunter and four Postnatal Peak Realm Chief Constables."
"That’s great!" Li Hengsheng’s eyes lit up.
"But for so reason," Ye Qingchen scratched his head, "they seem to be in poor health."
"Ah?"
"What do you an by ’poor health’?" Yang Tiantian was also puzzled. With an Innate Realm expert and four Postnatal Perfection experts, how could they be in poor health?
"The Innate Divine Hunter is always on sick leave, and whenever I need the four Postnatal Peak Chief Constables, they are always in a state of illness." Ye Qingchen pondered, "At one point, I suspected that there was a plague in my inspection area, but later investigations revealed there wasn’t."
Li Hengsheng: "..."
Yang Tiantian: "..."
Were they really sick?
Or did they simply not want to co?
"How do you handle things when issues arise?" Li Hengsheng couldn’t help but ask Ye Qingchen, his lips twitching.
"It’s simple, if they’re all sick, I just do it myself." Ye Qingchen laughed, "Whoever causes trouble, I go up and beat them up."
"At first, they were aggressive, but I managed to subdue them. However, with your poor skills, Fourth Brother, this thod might not be suitable for you. If they don’t beat the crap out of you, consider yourself lucky." Ye Qingchen said seriously as he looked at Li Hengsheng.
"Sigh." Li Hengsheng sighed as well, realizing his Senior Brother had offended everyone there.
Now, he was taking on this hot potato.
It’s going to be tough!
"Let tell you about the situation in the National Guardian Mansion. Over the years, I’ve discovered a lot of interesting things. So things are very private, and if you get beaten up, just spill these secrets when you’re about to die. Be tough."
"Then they won’t dare to beat anymore?" Li Hengsheng hesitated.
"No, you’ll die with more dignity." Ye Qingchen said earnestly.
"..."
After listening to Ye Qingchen’s ramblings for a long ti, Li Hengsheng sent the two of them off. Then, he went to Futu Pavilion to bid farewell to Li Jingsong.
Li Jingsong also didn’t know what to say for a mont, so he just advised Li Hengsheng to be careful.
And then he took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Li Hengsheng.
"This is a Fifth Grade Pill, Spiritual Sun Jade. If you encounter great danger and are seriously injured, hold one in your mouth. At the very least, it can protect your heart veins for three days!"
Li Jingsong handed the pill to Li Hengsheng.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master Li." Li Hengsheng respectfully bowed to Li Jingsong.
In this Dao Mountain Ancient Land, Li Jingsong had always been very good to him, and this was sothing Li Hengsheng would rember in his heart.
"Go ahead." Li Jingsong said calmly, "Return safely."
"Yes."
Li Hengsheng turned and left.
Watching Li Hengsheng’s departing figure, Li Jingsong was filled with emotion. Li Hengsheng was truly a disciple he was very fond of. He hoped Li Hengsheng would return safely and also wondered how Li Hengsheng’s father, Li Changqing, would feel about his son going to such a dangerous place.
Turning around, he took out the letter from a hidden compartnt, pondered for a long ti, then walked out with it.
Wu Santong had already packed his things and was waiting for Li Hengsheng at Cyan Rain Mountain.
Li Hengsheng finally went up to Misty Sea Peak to bid farewell to Xu Muhai, then headed down the mountain with Wu Santong and Xu Kui.
"Zidian, let’s go."
Leading the horse nad Zidian, left by Lord Zhou, Zidian was already very familiar with Li Hengsheng, so it showed no resistance.
It obediently let itself be harnessed to the carriage, and then Li Hengsheng and Wu Santong sat inside while Xu Kui drove the carriage, leaving the Dao Mountain Ancient Land.
As they exited the mountain gate, Li Hengsheng looked back at it. This ti, leaving here, he didn’t know when he would return again.
"Senior Brother, we’ll co back." Wu Santong comforted him, thinking Li Hengsheng was sowhat reluctant.
"Hm."
Li Hengsheng nodded but didn’t say much.
At that mont, he thought of Lord Zhou, thought of Lu Qiaoqiao, and recalled the tis he spent here.
"I’ll take a nap."
Having not slept for two nights, Li Hengsheng now felt sowhat exhausted.
"Senior Brother, go ahead and sleep."
Wu Santong took out a blanket and covered Li Hengsheng with it.
anwhile, Xu Kui drove the carriage towards Changting Town.
Before leaving, Li Hengsheng wanted to see his father one last ti.
At that mont, Li Changqing also received a letter from Xue Qianbai, brought over by Xue Qianbai’s snow sculpture, explaining the causes and consequences.
The content of the letter was shocking to Li Changqing.
His son was actually going to be an Inspector at the National Guardian Mansion?
But that wasn’t the main concern; the main thing was that his son was on his way back right now!
