Chapter 814 – A New Comrade (2/2)

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared on the distant mountain ridge, accompanied by a tough and cold voice.

”Whoever you are, don't think about escaping.”

Chen Changsheng and Zhexiu had a momentary misperception, feeling that that fellow really had appeared.

The figure walked down the mountain ridge and finally reached them.

It was not the person they were thinking of, though this one was truthfully rather similar to that one in certain aspects. As a result, whenever they met, they would immediately be at odds with each other, wanting nothing more than to fight.

This person was a swordsman. Though he was covered in dust, it could not obscure his heroic aura.

Chen Changsheng and Zhexiu had spoken for a while on Mount Li, and now someone from Mount Li had truly come.

Guan Feibai, Fourth Law of the Divine Kingdom's Seven Laws, a genius of the sword from Mount Li, only beneath Qiushan Jun in terms of talent.

Upon seeing Chen Changsheng after three years in this desolate and rocky mountain, Guan Feibai was naturally shocked, his mouth agape as he struggled to find something to say.

And then he remembered that Chen Changsheng was no longer an ordinary student of the Orthodox Academy, but the Pope.

They were acquaintances, but this generation of Mount Li Sword Sect disciples were different from their martial granduncle and were always very courteous.

He bowed to Chen Changsheng and said, ”Paying respects to His Holiness the Pope.”

Chen Changsheng had long since risen and now sincerely returned the bow.

Guan Feibai had many questions he wanted to ask, but hesitated to speak.

Chen Changsheng asked, ”How did you come here?”

Guan Feibai replied, ”I received an order to leave Blue Pass and scout the enemy. By accident, I discovered that the Brown Bear tribe was acting strangely, so I followed their tracks to here.”

Zhexiu glanced at him, looking rather surprised. ”You're a scout?”

Guan Feibai arched his brows and asked back, ”Are you the only one allowed to do it?”

It seemed that not much had changed from the Grand Examination and the Mausoleum of Books.

Back then, the only one of the Mount Li Sword Sect's inner sect disciples that Chen Changsheng had somewhat of a conflict with was Guan Feibai.

The reason was very simple: his personality was too stubborn, his temper bad, he was excessively violent, and his mouth never spared anybody. In a few aspects, he was rather similar to Tang Thirty-Six.

Other than friends of the same faction, no one would ever like this sort of person, just like how the person of the Orthodox Academy that the common people most loathed was always surnamed 'Tang'.

Later, Chen Changsheng's impressions of Guan Feibai underwent a significant change. It was not because of their interactions in the Mausoleum of Books and at Boiling Stone Summit, but after that, when the Imperial Court was using its full might to suppress the Orthodox Academy. When no one dared to offer their support… Guan Feibai had come.

He and Chen Changsheng had conducted a very uninteresting conversation, after which he had requested that Chen Changsheng personally send him off.

This was a stance, a stance that he did not mind having the entire capital see.

Chen Changsheng was grateful and told him, ”Thank you.”

Guan Feibai had replied, ”You're welcome.”

To these youths that had experienced Xun Mei intruding upon the Divine Path and Wang Po sending him off, these two words held a very deep meaning.

'From this point on, we are friends.'

”Did you kill all of them?”

Guan Feibai pointed at the mountain behind them.

Chen Changsheng turned to Zhexiu.

Zhexiu did not speak, as he did not like to talk.

With no other alternative, Chen Changsheng explained.

”In the past few years, the Brown Bear tribe has been working together with the Demon race in secret. Only when they saw how our side was improving last year did they begin to get close to us again. Their background has never been clean and they're easily controlled by others.” Guan Feibai looked at him and asked, ”The problem is, just who wants to kill you?”

Chen Changsheng replied, ”We want to go to Wenshui.”

With this simple answer, Guan Feibai understood. After a few moments of thought, he asked, ”Is that guy okay?”
