Chapter 29: Cautiousness

”Old Duke, please speak. As long as it is within my means, I will not refuse,” Mo Wuji said while he cupped his fists.

Mo Wuji was sure that Han Chengan would not lie about such matters. If he said that he had saved Mo Wuji, then he probably did. This kind act of saving Mo Wuji might have been simple, but it was the greatest favour anyone could have done for him.

Han Chengan was pleased with Mo Wuji's words, ”Wuji, your words have put me at ease. In a little more than a month, many sects will go to the Xing Han Empire’s Royal Capital, Chang Luo, for the Spring Immortal's Gate Conference. You have interacted with Han Ning before, and you know how she is like. She is extremely simplistic, and she is not as mature as how she acts. You managed to preserve your life after the whole Nine Lives Healing solution fiasco, so your ability to handle situations definitely surpasses hers. I would like for you to stay by Han Ning's side. Before she enters any sect, I hope that you can take care of her.”

Mo Wuji solemnly promised, ”Old Duke, please be at ease. As long as I have the ability, I will try my best to support Miss Han Ning.”

Han Chengan retrieved a jade hairpin from his pocket and passed it to Mo Wuji, ”If you truly find yourself in an inextricable situation, you can bring this jade hairpin to the Yue Residence in Chang Luo and find Yue Qiongying.”

”Why doesn't the Old Duke pass the jade hairpin directly to Miss Han Ning?” Mo Wuji asked doubtfully.

Han Chengan simply shaked his head, and did not answer Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji was not a person who pries into other's secrets. Seeing that Han Chengan had no intention of answering him, he carefully kept the jade hairpin.

Han Chengan got more satisfied with Mo Wuji's attitude. Sipping some tea, he said, ”

I heard that you like tea. Later, I will get some people to send you some good tea leaves.”

Mo Wuji laughed, ”Then I will be especially grateful to the Old Duke. Also, because I haven’t really seen much of the world, there are some things which I wish to ask the Old Duke.”

A bit of tea did not mean much to someone like the Old Duke, so Mo Wuji did not decline the gesture.

”Haha...If you have any questions, just ask,” Han Chengan replied.

”I heard that our Xing Han Empire isn't the only empire. Are there really other empires?” Mo Wuji always wanted to know this, but there was never a suitable person he could ask. Han Chengan was well informed, and he was a Prefecture Duke. He should know more about such matters.

Han Chengan answered, ”From what I know, there are five big empires: the Tian Shang Empire, the Zi Zhou Empire, the Gan Yang Empire, the Xing Han Empire and the Ming Han Empire. These five empires are protected by five big sects. The sect protecting the Xing Han Empire is the Heavenly Temple. In the coming Spring Immortal's Gate Conference, masters from the Heavenly Temple will also be going to Chang Luo. I do not wish much for Han Ning. If she can enter an Earth level sect, I will be very satisfied.”

”Old Duke, what is an Earth-level sect? Also, is the Heavenly Temple the most powerful sect in Xing Han Empire?” Mo Wuji had never heard of these things before, and asked hurriedly.

”It's normal that you don't know about these matters. Many people don't know about them. After all, we are just mere mortals. The sects in the five big empires are classified under three levels. The lowest are Xuan level sects. Above them, are the Earth level sects. In the Xing Han Empire, the strongest sect is in the quasi-sky level, and that is the Heavenly Temple. Han Chengan spoke with a trace of longing. Even as a Prefecture Duke, he could only look up towards these sects.

Mo Wuji continued to ask, ”Since there are quasi-sky level sects, then there must be Sky level sects? Why didn't the Duke mention them?” Han Chengan shaked his head, ”I'm also not sure about this. Previously, I was also really curious about this. From what I know, it's not just the Xing Han Empire which doesn't have a Sky level sect. The strongest sects in the other empires are also at the quasi-sky level.”
