Chapter 327 - All followers move out! (1/2)

The next day...

”Hey, what do you think about yesterday? Did the Lord really meant what he said?” Wei Shang said to Fei Longwei who was currently cultivating by the shadow of a pine tree in the garden beside him.

Since they were both cultivating the dark element cultivation, being in the shadow or somewhere dark will substantially boost their cultivation rate.

Fei Longwei was silent for a moment before nodding, ”I think the Lord was indeed serious and I might understand why.”

Wei Shang had been pondering upon their Lord's words since last night. As far as he recalled, their Lord wasn't someone murderous, so he was genuinely interested in knowing the reason behind this matter.

”Oh? Why?” he asked, cupping his chin.

Fei Longwei exhaled a silent sigh before replying, ”Obviously, a single rumor about a cultivator possessing an ultimate graded weapon would send the entire pugilistic world on a hunting mission.”

He then opened his eyes to look at Wei Shang that were currently staring at him and continued, ”This is why the Lord warned us strictly to not use the weapon carelessly. If we are forced to draw them out, then we must be sure to kill our opponent! Otherwise, it would become an endless trouble for us down the line!”

Hearing this explanation from Fei Longwei, Wei Shang nodded in comprehension with a serious look to his face.

So that's the case!

”It appears that great treasures, while granting their owner extreme benefits, also possesses their own disadvantages as well..” he lamented as he stared at the blue sky, seeming to comprehend another aspect of life.

Truly the wonders of the world! Like the Yin and Yang, both advantages and disadvantages comes hand in hand!

Wengg!!

Suddenly, their communication jade slip stowed in their spatial ring glowed brightly at the same time and sent them signals.

”This..” Both of them turned to each other with a grim look on their face.

They finally received a mission from Duan Li!

This was one of the benefit of being a Lord class; able to give missions to their followers as long as the academy agrees to it, and that the given mission was deemed to be not too dangerous for the students.

Normally, while this was indeed possible, giving them missions outside of the academy would usually be denied unless for special reasons.

However, now that their Lord was a renown figure, who would even dare question his request?

Even if their Lord held another identity as a student of the academy and was also subjected to the rules and regulations of the academy until graduation, one would still need to bend a few of the rules for the comfort of the Jiu Empire's Imperial Overseer!

”We need to head out to the villages near the southern border? That's fine I guess.. but the villages on this list..” Wei Shang swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

They are all near one of the forbidden region on the South.. the Forest of Slumber!

I hope that the mission will not require us to venture there..

”Hmm.. it seems that we only needed to scout for information regarding the last whereabouts of the Lord's mother. This is simple enough, but... ” Fei Longwei contemplated for a moment with creased brows trying to comprehend something before releasing a deep sigh.

Hais!

The mission itself was not the problem, as gathering intelligence was quite common, but the extra note..

Pu!

Wei Shang almost choked on himself as he read the last instruction;

'Under the recommendation from Di Rou, Cucko and his minions will join your party. They are highly trained for intelligence gathering and should be quite useful. Treat them well.'

”What in the world...” Wei Shang slapped his forehead and felt a sudden headache. Turning to Fei Longwei, he asked with a twitching lips, ”Hey, can you speak with chickens?”

”...” Fei Longwei replied with a piercing gaze towards him.

Oh boy.. this is going to be one hell of a mission..

...

Meanwhile, Xu Rong and Xiahou Yu that were currently at the kitchen cooking their breakfast also abruptly received a mission from Duan Li.

”Go to the Seven Saints Culinary and speak with the Seven Saints Chef? He wants us to gather a few ingredients for him?” Xu Rong said in surprise as she stared at the absurdly long list of ingredients before turning to Xiahou Yu.
