Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
A carriage moved on the official path.
It wasn’t something that stood out, so naturally nothing happened. The whole journey was pretty safe.
Yuan Tianchu looked into the distance. That was the direction of home.
They went further and further.
When they would even return was unknown.
He had been thinking about the real reason why his father had sent him out.
To understand who Lin Fan was?
That might not be the case. Anyways they knew that Lin Fan wasn’t an easy person to deal with, so in the future, they would hide from him in You City.
On the contrary, Liang Yongqi was much calmer. He was someone abandoned by his family; his elder brother took away his father’s love and the rights to take over the family from him.
He understood in his heart that a guy had to be careful when they were outside.
Seeing Yuan Tianchu in deep thought, he asked, “Brother Yuan, you said that your father sent you out. Is it that your brother was about to return so that your father wanted to pass the baton to him?”
Yuan Tianchu had a brother and many younger brothers and sisters. Of course the one who was doing the best was his brother who was recruited by a sect. He hadn’t returned in tens of years.
“Don’t make me panic, that is impossible.” Yuan Tianchu said.
However, he panicked a little inside.
If Liang Yongqi was right, then what was going to happen to him?
Lin Fan looked at the two of them and didn’t say anything. He still had no idea why his father sent him out and also let these two useless people follow him. Their family’s relationship with the two wasn’t that friendly.
Several days later, an army entered the city. Liu Xuan had rushed back from You City. They had failed the mission; they failed to recruit Lin Wanyi.
At the gate, Liu Xuan got off the horse and allowed the city guards to bring the horses away.
A guard walked over and said, “Sir, that person is still following behind us.”
“En?” Liu Xuan was shocked, “He isn’t dead?”
He turned his head and looked. That fellow from You City who wanted to join his side was actually still following behind. He was really unstable and looked like he was going to faint at any moment.
During this period of time, it was like walking on the edge of hell for Zu Xiang. He felt that his life force was drifting away. If not for his will, he would have died midway.
“Sir, what should we do?” The soldier asked.
Liu Xuan frowned. This type of person made him feel really threatened.
He was indeed really foolish. But someone who could be so vicious towards themselves might affect him if they were able to climb up.
However, for some reason, Liu Xuan wanted to see how far this person could climb.
“Send him to dig stones.” Liu Xuan said.
The soldier was slightly stunned before nodding his head, “Yes.”
His gaze towards Zu Xiang was filled with sympathy.
That place wasn’t fit for humans and who knew how many people died there. Usually, prisoners or people who committed huge crimes would be sent there.
Liu Xuan didn’t say anything more and headed back to report to King Wutong.
He arrived at a luxurious manor.
This residence belonged to King Wutong. King Wutong uprooted all the reputable families here, and the army spent their riches.
At this moment, Liu Xuan bent his back and walked in. He was able to see King Wutong, who was drinking tea.
King Wutong didn’t look really outstanding, but the aura he gave off couldn’t be underestimated.
“The recruitment failed?” King Wutong asked.
Liu Xuan knelt on the ground, “Yes, I was incapable, and Lin Wanyi rejected me.”
“I had expected that. You had a relationship with Lin Wanyi, so I was looking forward to it. Who knew that he would really reject my kind intentions.” King Wutong smiled.
Liu Xuan was really annoyed and felt that Lin Wanyi had let him down.
No matter what, they had a friendship in the past, yet he didn’t give him any face at all. King Wutong was so intelligent and powerful and had the ability to rule the world.
It was important to follow the right person. What use was there to remain in the small You City?
“King, should we sent troops to destroy You City?” Liu Xuan asked. To him, the situation was really simple. Since they didn’t give King Wutong face, then he would wipe them out. When that happens, then it was like nothing happened at all.
King Wutong said, “Not now. I heard rumors about You City’s Lin Wanyi. Going against Lin Wanyi now isn’t a smart choice, let’s just put this aside.”
Liu Xuan acknowledged. Working beside King Wutong was really stressful; he was not the only advisor.
If he were unable to complete tasks, then his position in King Wutong’s heart would naturally fall.
At that moment, a white pigeon flew in from outside, on its legs was a letter tied to it.
King Wutong looked at the letter and frowned. When he opened it, his face was dark and sunken. They failed, they failed to get the map.
In the letter, it mentioned that they faced a surprising situation, and the entire group fell. A few unknown people wrecked their plans.
This matter annoyed him. Trash! A bunch of trash! They could even fail such a simple matter.
It was good that they were dead.
Even if they came back, he would rip apart their skin.
To fail such an important task at such an important moment, no matter who it was would be punished heavily.
Seeing that King Wutong’s expression was not right, he backed down.
Several days later, Lin Fan’s group was far away from You City, thousands of miles away.
They used the official path and didn’t face any danger.
This was different from what Lin Fan had thought. To him, since they were outside, they should have faced large amounts of danger.
A journey with no danger was just so boring.
Another day passed, the sun shone brightly.
“Cousin, we are at the foot of Martial Path Mountain.” Zhou Zhongmao said.
Lin Fan walked out of the carriage and looked up. A huge mountain was in front of him, and he could roughly see the houses on it. It was covered by trees all around, totally different from the range of mountains he had imagined.
“Why does it feel so old?” Lin Fan said.
It wasn’t that he looked down on this place but because there really was that feeling.
Yuan Tianchu said, “Brother Lin, since this Martial Path Mountain is within the mountains, then it is definitely correct.”
“Where are the people? We have stood here for so long and didn’t even see anyone. It is just so cold.” Lin Fan said.
In his heart, for his father to let him come here meant that this place was an amazing place—a famous sect, glorious, luxurious.
However, he wasn’t able to see any of that.
Although he didn’t want to admit it, Lin Fan was right. There was no one. He raised his head and looked out, and it felt a little dead.
No matter what, this was far from what he had expected.
Liang Yongqi was helpless, was this the place they were going to live in in the future?
It was just so secluded.
“Let’s go up.” Lin Fan said.
Zhou Zhongmao walked at the front. Before they came, Uncle told him that Martial Path Mountain’s Sect Head Zhang Tianshan knew him and Martial Path Mountain developed well. Although it couldn’t be compared to the large sects, it had its own specialty.
Looking at it now, it didn’t seem right.
Logically speaking, even a normal sect should at least have disciples at the foot of the mountain, right?
Also, there was so much dirt and dust on the road; it was obvious that very few people walked on it.
The road up the mountain wasn’t hard to walk as there were steps. After a short while, they finally got up the mountain.
The stone gate was huge, and on it wrote three words, “Martial Path Mountain.”
However, there was no one, and it was really empty.
“Did we come to the wrong place, or did my father lie to me?” Lin Fan asked.
Suddenly, a piece of paper was pasted on the gate. Maybe as a long time had passed, it had turned yellow.
Lin Fan walked up, and his eyes contracted.
“What?”
Yuan Tianchu walked over and also looked, “Damn…”
Liang Yongqi was surprised, what was going on such that they were making a big fuss. However, after he looked at it, his expression became really weird too.
“Damn…”
