52 Junior Brother Is a Frank and Straightforward Person (2/2)

It was as if someone had poured cold water on Mu Xiao’s head; he said, “Then, what should I do?”

Wang Lu inwardly laughed. “It has finally arrived.”

“This is somewhat a coincidence. I happen to be in need of something that is slightly embarrassing and need Junior Brother Mu Xiao’s help.”

Mu Xiao hurriedly said, “You might as well say it! Anything!”

Wang Lu said, “Actually, for you, Junior Brother, this is not difficult. But to me, it’s very important. If you are willing to help, it would be equal to that two hundred thousand spirit stones.”

“Is there such a thing?” Mu Xiao was surprised.

“Yeah, this experiential learning in the Small Clear Sky Peak would perhaps be a miracle in other people’s eyes. But actually, for me, it’s still somewhat a disappointment.”

Mu Xiao suddenly sucked in a mouthful of cold air. “You think that’s a disappointment? What do you think of other people’s achievement then, a waste?”

Wang Lu said, “Actually, when we did the experiential learning, I and Wen Bao were already at our limits; our tactics have no more room for improvement. After much deliberation, I concluded that our team is somewhat weak. If we want to make up for the shortcomings, we need to introduce new blood.”

Mu Xiao nodded his head, expressing his understanding. However, inwardly, he thought, “What does this have to do with me? Does he need my help in recommending a candidate?”

“It’s like this, the foreign aid that I hope to introduce… has a somewhat special identity.”

Mu Xiao froze for a moment and then frowned. “Could it be someone from the evil path?”

“Um, where would I know someone from the evil path? Rest assured, that person’s past history is not going to be an issue. Um, I can vouch this person on behalf of the Fifth Elder’s name, it won’t stain your name. The special identity of that foreign aid is that, that person is not a cultivator, but a mortal world’s martial art master.”

“Mortal world’s martial art master!?” Mu Xiao was taken aback. “Wouldn’t that be the same as suicide!?”

Wang Lu pointed at himself. “Don’t forget that I am technically just a mortal world’s martial art master. I can guarantee that person is absolutely strong, much more stronger than me. That person is the key to complete the challenge.”

Mu Xiao hesitated. “But, in accordance with the rules…”

Wang Lu said, “Yes, in accordance with the rules, unless the person is a Successor Disciple like myself, no mortal is allowed to enter the Small Clear Sky Peak. However, if there’s a guarantee from a sect Elder, that’s a completely different matter. Now, I can easily get that guarantee using the Fifth Elder’s guarantee document, but the key is whether Junior Brother Mu Xiao willing to admit your mistake.”

Finally understanding the crux of the matter, Mu Xiao silently nodded.

If he stuck to the rules, Wang Lu could easily bypass him by coming up with a guarantee document on behalf of the Fifth Elder’s name and use that exception to include the foreign aid. But, like the so-called ‘rules are dead but people are alive’, in order to avoid problems with the actual operation, Wang Lu still needed his consent as the official in charge.

However, there were two problems. One, how could Wang Lu brazenly use the elder’s seal? Was she aware about this? Two, even if the Fifth Elder personally issued the guarantee document, in light of her peculiarities, whether that document would be valid or not, it was another matter entirely. In the end, the one who could allow Wang Lu to include a foreign aid was indeed Mu Xiao.

This matter was indeed a bit difficult for him to decide. According to Mu Xiao’s character, the uncertainty on this thing was too many, and the risk was too high, so normally, he would definitely reject such a proposal. However, the one who proposed this was, after all, his Senior Brother Wang Lu… But if he gave him his consent, it would be a great violation of the relevant rules.

When Mu Xiao was still hesitating, Wang Lu continued.

“Junior Brother Mu Xiao, if you think this matter is not reliable, I can try to work something out.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiao could only clench his teeth. “Even if this thing is unreliable, but you, Senior Brother Wang Lu, are absolutely reliable, so I trust you! How about this, I’ll write you a permission document. I’ll left the name empty, feel free to fill it later. I happen to bring the office seal so I’ll give it to you now!”

While talking, Mu Xiao pulled out the Heavenly Policy Hall official seal from his bag, opened up the already formatted golden colored sincerity paper and stamped the seal on the lower right part of that paper.

“Okay, it’s done. Later on, you can fill any name in it. However, because this is a sincerity paper, be sure to fill the real name of that person. Once you fill out that person’s name in this document, your companion would be able to pass through the restriction spells on the Small Clear Sky.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Lu frowned, yet he immediately took that document, and then raised the wine glass and laughed. “Junior Brother Mu Xiao is really frank and straightforward! I salute you!”

“Well said! Drink up!”

After completely violating the operational rules, Mu Xiao seemed to loosen up a lot and started to enjoy the pleasure of the wine. After finishing the glass, he directly drank it from the bottle, which scared the sh*t out of Wang Lu and Wen Bao.

However, after being an official for three years, he had enough time to practice his drinking skill. Thus, although he had already felt tipsy because of the strong wine, his mood became even more carefree instead.

“Haha, what a great wine!”

Wang Lu echoed him, “Yes, it’s great indeed! But we need to eat too, not just drink! We can’t leave before we try the Western Traditional Dishes!”

Mu Xiao casually picked up the chopsticks and subconsciously took a piece of that “Look Up at the Starry Sky” cake—the one he cursed and resented—on their table and put it in his mouth.

Then, he went unconscious; his head fell on the table, unable to get up.
