Library of Heaven's Path

1991 Sect Leader Han“s Astonishmen

“Senior Uncle, I fear that it isn’t as simple as it seems!” Bai Ruanqing frowned.

“There’s a total of seventeen missions from Wuhai City, and most of them are only priced at around twenty Sword Pavilion Coins or so. Even this one, saving the City Lord’s daughter, is only worth twenty-five Sword Pavilion Coins. Don’t you find it weird that an appraisal mission is actually worth so much?”

Even she, who was rarely meticulous, had noticed that something was wrong with the request. She found it hard to believe that her Senior Uncle had not noticed that something was wrong.

“It’s fine,” Zhang Xuan replied with a wave of his hand.

Naturally, he could tell that something was amiss. However, as long as it was something in the fields of appraisal, it should not pose a problem to him since he had the Library of Heaven’s Path.

“Since you’re confident, I’ll be leaving the mission to you. I’ll first say in advance that I know nothing at all about appraisal!” Bai Ruanqing got straight to the point.

She had close to blind admiration for this Senior Uncle of hers. Since the latter had no qualms about it, there should not be too much trouble.

After confirming the mission that they wanted to take on, Bai Ruanqing quickly applied for it with the receptionist.

Soon, she obtained the Mission Token. Once the mission was accomplished, it would automatically be reflected on the Mission Token, and the reward would be transferred over to the applicant’s Ethereal Card.

One thing to note was that there was a time restriction as well. As Wuhai City was relatively close and the mission did not involve adventuring and the like, if the mission was not completed within three days, one would have to pay a late compensation fee of three Sword Pavilion Coins.

Carrying the Mission Token, the two of them got back onto the aerial beast and headed straight for Wuhai City, leaving the premises of the sect.

Hearing the report from the elder in front of him, Han Jianqiu pinched his glabella tightly.

This future sect leader of theirs sure was one to make them worry. It was just a moment ago that he indirectly told the other party not to cause trouble within the sect, but in the blink of an eye, that fellow had already flown over to Wuhai City.

Why could he not just obediently stay within the sect and cultivate patiently?

The fact that he had comprehended the Gods’ Sword Intent meant that his understanding of swordsmanship had already reached the peak. What he had to do right now was raise his cultivation. As long he could reach the High Immortal realm, even Han Jianqiu himself might not necessarily be a match for him. By then, he could be considered unrivaled in the Forsaken Continent then.

But this fellow would not rest at all. After bullying the inner disciples, he carried on and bullied the core disciples, the elders, and eventually even the sect leader himself. Once he was done, he freaking went on to Wuhai City!

Would he die if he simply gave his tendency to humblebrag a rest just for a day?

Besides, even if he did not want to cultivate, he had just been given a Heavenly High Immortal-tier sword. Surely he should cultivate some feelings with the sword so as to lay the groundwork to tame it in the future?

“Should we capture him and force him to cultivate?” Elder He’s face was also frighteningly livid.

“It would be best if we could bring him back…” Han Jianqiu nodded before he abruptly halted. He pondered deeply for a moment before asking, “How is his speed of cultivation? If he’s able to reach Lesser Pseudo Immortal in his twenties, that means that he has his ways to advance his cultivation, right? If that’s the case, we should not interfere in his plans. It might be slower, but it will at least temper his will.”

Comprehending the Gods’ Sword Intent was dependent on one’s intelligence and luck, but cultivating was centered around relentless diligence. One had to take a step at a time and travel forward steadily.

The fact that the other party was able to reach the Lesser Pseudo Immortal realm at such a young age likely meant that he was quite a disciplined individual. Why would he become so unruly all of a sudden?

“Ruanqing is with him at the moment. I’ll ask her,” Elder Bai Ye said.

Han Jianqiu nodded in response.

Elder Bai Ye sent a message over, and it did not take long for him to receive a response. When he saw the response, he suddenly rubbed his eyes intensely, as if fearing that he was seeing things.
