114 Today I Come To Take Away My Love! (1/2)

“Senior Brother Zhu Qin, thank you for contacting the Mansion of Light for me, it’s just that, with this many people, it seems too…”

Being surrounded by a crowd, Yue Xinyao was somewhat uneasy.

Despite the fact that she was born of a noble Immortal Cultivator Family, which was not inferior to children of noble mortals, the atmosphere still made her feel very uncomfortable.

However, crown prince Zhu Qin was very much at ease. “No need to be polite, Junior Sister, this is our fault in the first place… After receiving Junior Sister’s formal letter, they failed to reply in ten days; it’s the efficiency of the Mansion of Light that should be straightened out.”

Such remarks made the faces of the bureaucrats that surrounded them to be suddenly filled with varying degree of worry. Naturally, those who worried the most were officials from the Mansion of Light, but there were some who looked hopeful; those were the officials that were expected to replace them.

However, Yue Xinyao slightly frowned. “Senior Brother Zhu Qin, although I may not be qualified to say these words, since we are already cultivators, then the status in the mortal world…”

Zhu Qin smiled. “Junior Sister wanted to teach me that I’m not the Crown Prince of the Great Ming Country, but an ordinary cultivator of the Spirit Sword Mountain, right? But you see, this time I came home, I don’t even have the time to visit my parents. The first thing I do is to accompany Junior Sister to register together with you at the Mansion of Light.”

Yue Xinyao also smiled and nodded. “To Senior Brother, this is indeed somewhat absurd, but… the mortal path is different than that of an Immortal Cultivator.”

During their talk, the surrounding bureaucrats were once again in a state of joy and sorrow. If the Crown Prince really wanted to give up his power and focus on practicing cultivation, then it would be an earth-shaking event for the Great Ming Country.

“Oh, I almost forgot. Junior Sister, what is your purpose in coming to the Great Ming Country? Who do you want to deal with?”

“It’s a new sect that seems to offend a lot of people. However, I’m not too clear about the specific situation, so I need the coordination from the Mansion of Light to investigate it. This Sect is really strange, their development momentum is swift and fierce, and the way it developed is also extremely special. It is said that in just a few months, its followers have reached over one million people. So far, no one knows exactly who the leader of this sect really is.”

“Oh? Is it that special? And just in the Great Ming Country? Tsk, what are people of the Mansion of Light doing? They shouldn’t let you, someone from outside, to handle this matter… Oh, by the way, Junior Sister, what is that sect called?”

“It’s a very strange name—Wisdom Sect.”

——

Yue Xinyao and Zhu Qin talked as they entered the Mansion of Light. The rest of the officials lingered at the entrance for a moment before they gradually dispersed, buzzing about the disorder that would be the consequences of the arrival of the Crown Prince Zhu Qin and all sorts of follow up changes that could happen.

Then, not too far away, the trio of Wisdom Sect people who watched this scene fell into a long silence.

“Elder Wen, what should we do next?”

“Looks like someone wants to collude with the Great Ming Country to deal with us. Ha! Sect Leader said it right, amidst the tide of the new world, the old forces who were unwilling to die will certainly initiate a crazy counter attack; however, under the vast ocean of followers, any resistance is futile!”

“Elder Wen… Elder Wen, did you hear me?”

Oh, the poor Elder Wen, his awareness was still stuck at that moment a few minutes ago, when Zhu Qin and Yue Xinyao walked together to the Mansion of Light—that scene where Zhu Qin put his hand on Yue Xinyao’s shoulder!

——

“Elder Wen, are we… going to go back?”

At the inn’s dinner table, Guo Hong cautiously asked. At the same time, Yang Xiao also cast a similarly doubtful look.

Regarding this boss of theirs, the two assistants have had many interactions with him, so they understood that he had a trusting and simple temperament. However, he had a slow reaction to things, and could not make a decision himself. Just now, they encountered an unexpected turn of event, so the two assistants didn’t have much confidence in Wen Bao’s ability to deal with it.

Wen Bao himself was also confused; the current problems were too many and too complex, far beyond his capabilities. Why would Junior Sister Yue come to the Great Ming Country? Why would she want to deal with the Wisdom Sect? A few months ago when he left the sect, he had secretly paid attention to Yue Xinyao’s whereabouts; if he was not mistaken, at that time, she went east to participate in the exploration of an ancient tomb, which was expected to last for nearly a year… could it be that it ended early?

As for Zhu Qin, his appearance here was not a surprise. He was, after all, the Crown Prince of the Great Ming Country, so it was normal if he took advantage of this experiential learning to go home to visit his family. However, how could he end up together with Yue Xinyao? The two of them were just normal martial brother and sister in the sect. Besides working together as a team in the experiential learning at the Small Clear Sky Peak, they had no more contact, what could...

Of course, right now, the most important thing to consider was these two people’s relationship. As the Wisdom Sect’s Elder, one of the heads of Intelligence Revenue Service’s Departments, when dealing with matters regarding sect...

“I want to go in and take a look at the situation.”

“What!?” Guo Hong and Yang Xiao were surprised. “Going in!?”

“Yes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you would emerge victorious in every battle. I can’t let Zhu Qin and Junior Sister Yue… Oh, wrong, I can’t let them collude with the Mansion of Light to plot an unfavorable scheme towards our sect. I want you two to go back and report this to the Sect Leader, while I will stay here and deal with it.”

“Elder, this... “ Guo Hong’s eyes went wide, incredulously looking at this determined Elder.

Yang Xiao was also hesitant, thinking, “Elder Wen, although you are indeed an honest, sincere, industrious and hardworking Elder, there are things that do not suit you at all!”

“Rest assured, no matter what, I’m still Spirit Sword… Wisdom Sect’s Elder.” Wen Bao gritted his teeth. “Although I’m not very good at this sort of thing, as long as I still harbor the great ideal of World’s Ascension, I would be successful in every endeavor! This is our Wisdom Sect’s mental bomb!”

Guo Hong’s eyes widened even further. “Elder, that mental bomb argument has already been criticized, it seems to be wrong. I think…”

“Never mind, I’m left handed.”

“What!?”

“No, I mean… I have an ace given by the Sect Leader in my sleeve!”

With that, Wen Bao jerked the last bun on the plate into his mouth, stood up straight and marched towards the Mansion of Light with murderous intent.

——

The ace in his sleeve was not a myth.

While walking, Wen Bao took out a brocade sac from his mustard seed bag. After disassembling it, he found a note from Wang Lu. This was a note that Wang Lu claimed would be able to stimulate the limit of his potential so that he could achieve incredible miracles.

Wen Bao never suspected Wang Lu’s ability to create miracles. Thus, even though this mission was filled with the aura of cheat-ness, Wen Bao still regarded it as his important card.

However, Wang Lu also warned that, unless it was an emergency, he mustn’t disassemble the bag. Currently, the situation should be called an emergency, right?

Senior Brother, please help me!
