SFS Chapter 794 Night Party
Chapter 794 Night Party
The stars are twinkling and the breeze is blowing.
Ye Kang stood respectfully outside the pavilion.
Upon hearing the noise, the people in the pavilion turned around.
There were three people in total. Su Hongxiu was waiting at the far side, while the other two sat relaxed in chairs, enjoying the moon and tea.
On the stone table were spiritually rich snacks and a black token.
Ye Kang recognized it as the Mitian Token he had won back from the White Moon Sword Sect.
The two people sitting opposite each other, one was refined and cultured, and the other was completely hidden in a black robe, so his appearance could not be seen.
The refined-looking middle-aged man looked at Ye Kang and nodded with a smile: "This must be Ye Kang. I was planning to wait a while before meeting you, but since Hongxiu brought you here, there's no need to be so formal. Come in and have some snacks."
Ye Kang didn't recognize the two people, but he knew that their cultivation levels were far beyond his reach.
Based on the way the head of the school was addressed, Ye Kang could roughly guess the other party's identity.
General Su Zhongjing of Lingquan.
Ye Kang nodded slightly and walked in silently, but he didn't actually take the pastries.
You can be polite to your boss, but you can't be impolite to them.
Su Zhongjing examined Ye Kang for a moment, then looked at the man in black robes beside him.
"What does Mr. Jiang think of this young man?"
The man in black robes didn't look at Ye Kang, picked up his teacup indifferently, and said, "I can't judge people. Whether they are good or not, I only look at the results."
Su Zhongjing seemed to have anticipated this response and didn't care. He then turned to Ye Kang and said, "Hongxiu has already told me what happened at the White Moon Sword Sect. I heard you selected the Ten Heroes of White Moon, which is indeed impressive. But do you know what this Heavenly Decree means?"
He pointed to the token on the table.
Ye Kang shook his head frankly: "This junior doesn't know much about it."
"Then let me tell you about it. During the reign of the Great Ancestor, the Martial Emperor fell, leaving behind his body, which transformed into a legacy. The Martial Emperor was a true Martial Immortal, with a profound martial arts that would never dissipate. For the sake of the development of the Martial Dynasty, the Holy Emperor brought out this opportunity and held the All-Encompassing Dharma Assembly every three years. Those who hold the All-Encompassing Token can join the assembly and have the opportunity to receive the Martial Emperor's legacy."
At this point, Ye Kang's thinking had become much clearer.
It turns out that Emperor Taizu of the Wu Dynasty was a martial immortal, but why did the immortal perish?
Su Zhongjing was unaware that Ye Kang was focusing on this point, and continued, "The Mitian Token originally only circulated within the imperial system, but in recent years, the Holy Emperor has opened up some quotas for martial arts practitioners, although they are very rare. The White Moon Sword Sect unexpectedly obtained one, and now it has returned to our hands."
He smiled and tapped the stone table with his finger, saying, "This is an unexpected delight. The Martial Emperor's inheritance is an excellent opportunity. Ye Kang, do you want to go?"
Boom!
Ye Kang felt a pair of stern and wise eyes staring at him, striking straight into his heart, as if they were seeing his own soul.
This feeling sent shivers down his spine, making his very being feel cold.
Ye Kang didn't know why Su Zhongjing would ask him that question, but he knew it might be a tremendous opportunity.
It seems that showcasing talent was successful.
He took a deep breath, bowed, and said, "This junior is willing to go."
It's a willingness to go, not a desire to go.
This was Ye Kang's answer, and also his promise, which was tantamount to him voluntarily joining Su Zhongjing's fold and obeying his orders.
Therefore, it's not that I want to go, but that I obey orders; if you tell me to go, I go.
Su Zhongjing withdrew his gaze, nodded and smiled, "If you're willing to go, that's good. I'll keep this Mitian Token for you, but it's not without reason. To receive the Martial Emperor's inheritance, you must at least be at the Nirvana Realm. Therefore, you must break through to the Nirvana Realm before the New Year, otherwise, you won't be the one going to Wudu on New Year's Day."
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang felt a sense of helplessness.
This is truly a case of giving a sweet treat followed by a heavy blow.
It's already September, isn't this forcing myself to undergo a nirvana within three months?
You should know that there are quite a few Nirvana Realm experts in the Three Offices, and they don't need another one like me. The fact that they gave me such a short time can only mean one thing.
He was anxious.
I don't know why they're in such a hurry.
But I certainly can't let this opportunity slip by.
He said in a deep voice, "I understand, and I will do my utmost."
"A steady and solid approach is key, and you should understand that."
Ye Kang nodded: "I understand. I would never forcibly improve my cultivation level."
A genius must be both fast and steady; they definitely can't do things like taking drugs to break through.
It seems that Su Zhongjing had very high expectations for himself, but it's unclear what he actually wanted to do.
Ye Kang wasn't stupid. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Every gift must have a purpose. But it didn't matter. Why bother thinking about it? He'd just have lunch first.
“Zhongjing, I must remind you again: some things, once done, must be done cleanly and without any mistakes. Once a slight oversight occurs, it will lead to widespread suffering.”
Suddenly, the man in black robes spoke softly, his tone tinged with helplessness.
Clearly, he did not approve of what Su Zhongjing wanted to do, but he did not forcibly stop him either.
Su Zhongjing did not speak, but turned to look at the full moon in the sky.
"Who can say for sure? It's just that some things, if you don't do them now, you'll never have another chance. If that guy continues to break through, I'll have no chance at all. I only ask one thing of you: please take good care of Hongxiu and Wuxiang for me."
"father……"
Su Hongxiu's expression turned anxious, as if she wanted to say something, but Su Zhongjing raised his hand to stop her.
"Mr. Jiang, my mind is made up. Even if I don't get your support, I will do my best. Please."
The man in black remained silent for a long time before finally nodding helplessly.
He stood up and said, "They'll be fine. Leave the matter of Marquis Yongguan to me."
"Thank you."
After speaking, the man in black robes vanished from the spot.
Su Zhongjing then looked at Ye Kang and said, "Alright, let's be frank. I am Su Zhongjing, the commander-in-chief of Lingquan County. You are a martial arts genius, but you need someone to give you a hand. I can be that person. In the future, perhaps you can take my place."
Ye Kang listened silently, not finding it strange.
Su Zhongjing looked into Ye Kang's eyes and confirmed that he was truly unperturbed by honor or disgrace.
This mindset pleased him even more.
He continued, "But it's not without conditions; I need you to do something for me."
Ye Kang then cupped his hands and said, "General, you have shown me great kindness. If there is anything I can do to help, I will do my best."
"This is no simple matter. If you're not careful, you could face utter ruin."
"Sir, you might as well speak frankly."
"I want you to cultivate a good relationship with the Zhaoyi Wushuang Mansion, and ideally, to be able to speak with the Marquis of Zhaoyi."
Su Zhongjing's gaze was sharp, and he stated his purpose bluntly.
There was no attempt to conceal anything; Ye Kang was simply given the opportunity to choose for himself.
At this moment, Ye Kang suddenly understood, and all his previous doubts were resolved.
Why did I go from being a lowly desert dweller to one of the geniuses who were admitted to university without taking the entrance exam?
Why are the Three Offices so kind to me when they've never even met me?
And why did that inexplicably appearing Biluo Langjun have to be subdued by me?
It turns out that it was all because of the majestic Wuyang City and the Zhaoyi Wushuang Mansion.
