At the sa ti, Wen Ping from the Immortal Sect was leisurely walking down the Thousand Layers, taking each step one at a ti, without utilizing the ability of Inch of Heaven and Earth. His face adorned with a full smile, he entered Cangwu City, basking in the freshly spilled sunlight.
The Viewing Room task could be completed tonight. As they say, a joyful occasion works wonders for the spirit; after descending the mountain, everyone seed pleasant. Greeting everyone with nods along the way, he finally arrived at the site under repair.
For the past few days, a constant stream of trees from dicine Mountain was sent to Cangwu City. These trees, cut down, were no longer as indestructible, making them perfect for building houses.
Today, he simply wanted to co down to check the city’s repair progress.
By coincidence, Ge Jiao and his group’s landing spot was not far away.
Three flaming firebirds descended dramatically outside the city, drawing the attention of the workers repairing the city who were both shocked and curious. Following that, the three firebirds transford into human figures, joining the ones who had previously jumped off their backs, heading towards Cangwu City.
Wen Ping happened to be outside the city, closest to these people.
When Ge Jiao’s group saw Wen Ping, a hint of surprise appeared on their faces. Naturally, it wasn’t shock but a feeling of disbelief. Although the crimson firebirds hadn’t displayed their true enormous demon forms, the fiery landing was quite substantial. The workers and soldiers witnessing this were all surprised, instinctively grasping their weapons.
But only the white-robed young man stood with a calm and composed deanor.
Taking a closer look, it beca even more unbelievable. The young man’s deanor seed sohow steadier than theirs.
"Good lad, not bad."
Ge Jiao praised with approval.
He was quite satisfied with the young man before him. Given such steadiness, it would eliminate many troubles. Once in the city, asking those who appeared timid at the sight of them could take forever to yield anything useful. This young man was different; Ge Jiao believed the questions he asked would definitely be answered clearly by this youth.
Pan Su chid in, "To have such steady composure, if he’s talented enough, he has great potential for the future. Yun Jing, what do you think? Do you have any plans to take on a disciple?"
He said this with a playful smile, looking at Wen Ping with interest.
Yun Jing seed uninterested in these remarks, choosing outright to ignore them with visible annoyance, replying wearily, "Let’s move on quickly, stop babbling."
Pan Su and the other two smiled helplessly and walked forward silently.
Every now and then they glanced at the potholes beneath their feet, then at the ruins ahead.
Of course, Wen Ping was watching them too.
The system had already displayed this group’s basic information in front of Wen Ping.
Pan Su...
Yun Jing...
And Ge Jiao.
Just by looking at these three, Wen Ping’s mind felt like a thousand alpacas were stampeding through it. Normally, it was difficult to et soone from the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression; he had only t three people so far: Tuo Hai, the Sect Leader of Dragon God Sect; Nian Feng, the hidden expert of Xuanse Lake; and Situ Xiuneng. Now suddenly, three of them appeared, with a group of Mountain Suppression Realm mbers following behind.
This lineup is even greater than when Situ Xiuneng ca!
How great would it be if the Immortal Sect could acquire such a formation?
As Wen Ping was reviewing the basic information of the crowd, Ge Jiao approached him with his tall stature and asked, "Young man, why aren’t you afraid?"
"Hm?"
Wen Ping was dumbfounded by the question.
Ge Jiao chuckled heartily and added, "Good lad, you’ve got quite the resolve. Co with ; keep your wits about you and I’ll give you a White Crystal Flower."
"Boy, why not quickly thank him?" Before Wen Ping could say a word, one of the n following Ge Jiao suddenly urged.
Wen Ping’s lips parted slightly; he was about to utter a word when Ge Jiao spoke again, lightly reproaching the man behind him, "Enough, soone your age still fussing over ordinary people from small places. Moreover, this boy’s temperant is comndable, a promising talent. There are many gifted people, but few who possess such fearless and unpretentious character."
"Rumor has it that the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect is also a young man, probably not as steady as this boy," Pan Su agreed with a nod.
"I—"
Wen Ping had just managed to say one word before being interrupted again.
Ge Jiao shook his head with a smile, "It’s remarkable for Heaven and Earth Lake to have even one person who remains unfazed upon seeing the crimson firebirds and us. How could there possibly be another one?"
After Ge Jiao spoke, Wen Ping no longer wished to say anything.
Let them talk if they enjoy chatting.
As long as there’s no malice towards the Immortal Sect, he didn’t bother to interfere.
"Young man, stay here!" Just as Wen Ping was about to leave, soone spoke again. It was Yun Jing, dressed in a fiery red outfit. Calling out to Wen Ping, she glanced angrily at Pan Su and the others beside her, "If you two treat this matter as play, then you might as well return directly. I, Yun Jing, can carry out the Alliance Leader’s orders alone."
She said those words and briskly walked into the city.
She took a look at Wen Ping and said, "Co with , I have sothing to ask you. If you answer well, I’ll give you whatever you want."
After speaking, she didn’t even glance at Wen Ping before continuing onwards.
Seeing this, Pan Su and the other two hurriedly quickened their pace to follow.
"Yun Jing, what’s the rush? We never said we wouldn’t do the job."
"We just think this lad has potential worth nurturing; it’s our heart’s fondness for talent."
Wen Ping smiled helplessly.
Are these people kidding?
They ca deliberately and don’t even recognize the Immortal Sect’s attire?
Alright!
Might as well listen to what they want to ask.
Behind the group, Wen Ping gestured to the soldiers to leave with a wave of his hand, signaling them to depart.
The people from the City Lord’s Mansion knew that what was coming wasn’t sothing they could handle; seeing Wen Ping asking them to leave, they naturally retreated imdiately. anwhile, they took the initiative to start dispersing the people in this area.
Wen Ping followed behind, unhurried in pace, just enough to keep up with the group.
The discussions from this group were clearly within earshot.
The subjects of their discussion weren’t others, but Wen Ping himself.
However, they were talking about past events.
About how decadent he was.
About how debauched he was.
In short, not much good was spoken.
Wen Ping wondered, had soone sold his past as intelligence?
And soone actually took an interest in buying it!
Yet from overhearing these conversations, Wen Ping was, unexpectedly, filled with emotion.
The state he was in before really was unpleasant.
As he considered what to say once they entered the city, he noticed Yun Jing, walking ahead, suddenly stopped, letting Ge Jiao and the others go on. She turned around and approached Wen Ping.
A waft of fragrance hit him!
Wen Ping stared at Yun Jing seriously, hearing her say, "Young man, do you know of Wen Ping, the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect?"
