Chapter 524: Chapter 142 Hu Dayang【Two in One】_3 Chapter 524: Chapter 142 Hu Dayang【Two in One】_3 And to be honest, amongst everyone present, the only one truly suitable for this job was the young prince, Xiang Liang.
Even if it were Shi Jiutu himself, faced with so many old friends from the jianghu, the chances of him carrying out this task impartially were essentially non-existent.
Yet, oddly enough, Xiang Liang was capable of doing it. Or to put it another way, only he had the qualifications, the standing, and the capital to carry out such a task.
His way of coldly cutting off ties was akin to a dog’s snarl, whether you were familiar with him or not, his face against friendship was unfeeling.
This was undeniably, a distinctive trait of royalty.
Shi Jiutu sighed, gazing into the depths of the dense forest.
My dear, how are you now?
I hope you’re not dead, that you haven’t been captured!
I’d rather you escape alive, eliminate a few more villains in this world, than fall into their hands, or worse, into mine.
May Heaven’s Path eternally protect the virtuous!
…
Feng Yin looked ahead at the seemingly never-ending line of people, listened to the constant grumbling behind him, kept his cultivation base alert, and subtly sensed the movent at the front of the line. Outwardly, he appeared calm, but inwardly he was beating the drum of anxiety.
The Chu Country’s sche this ti, killing three birds with one stone, was indeed ingenious, and he feared this challenge would not be easily overco.
Eventually, he stopped listening altogether, closing his eyes and taking one step at a ti forward.
He only kept ntally reassuring himself: “My na is Hu Dayang, Earth Level Sixth Rank, originally from a certain part of Chu Country, currently residing in…Wife, son, daughter…Bounty hunter, currently entrusted by Lord Tianyuan’s to carry out a task…”
All these were the true details of Hu Dayang’s identity, well, with the exception of the ‘Earth Level Sixth Rank,’ everything else was accurate.
In reality, Hu Dayang’s cultivation base was of the Earth Level seventh rank. Making a breakthrough by a fortuitous coincidence was quite common among martial artists.
While Feng Yin marinated in his self-hypnosis, his feet continued to inch forward.
By the ti it was Feng Yin’s turn, it had been more than eleven hours since he’d joined the line, almost an entire day and night!
He arrived here to line up late yesterday afternoon, now the sun was once again setting.
The efficiency of the royal prince of Great Chu in identifying applicants was frustratingly low.
After facilitating the evacuation of a person who had just been verified, and led away by the n from Broken Jade City, he was then taken into custody.
Finally, it was Feng Yin’s turn.
Feng Yin calmly handed over his passport.
The usually handso face of Xiang Liang was now full of fatigue, and his eyes were bloodshot, clearly indicating severe exhaustion and strain.
And yet, he was still doggedly holding on.
The young prince sat in his chair, examining the passport and na card, said, “Hu Dayang? From Xiang City?”
“Yes.”
“Cultivation?”
“Earth Level Sixth Rank.”
“Wife?”
“Li Hong’er.”
“Age?”
“I’m forty-three, my wife is twenty-nine.”
“Quite the cradle robber, aren’t you…”
“Your Highness is jesting.”
“Son?”
“Hu Bin.”
“…”
“What business are you attending to this ti?”
“I was commissioned by Lord Tianyuan to find a cure for his daughter’s illness.”
“What’s wrong with Lord’s beloved daughter?”
“I…don’t know, I only know the nas of the dications required.”
“Search him and bring out any storage rings to inspect.”
“Everything’s here…I don’t have any high-end items like a storage ring.”
“You only brought these items for your trip?”
Prince Xiang Liang was obviously looking for an excuse to detain this Hu Dayang. Given his cultivation level of Earth Level sixth rank, it was already quite high. Not only was it enough to be considered for the Overlord Hall, he was also surplus in the capacity of a small team leader, or even a middle team leader.
But despite his questioning, Hu Dayang showed no signs of faltering.
Everything he wore, carried, even his shoes, leg bindings, and a shuriken he carried on his waistband – they all had nothing problematic
Even the damaged sword, his chosen weapon, only pointed to the fact that he did not have a considerable personal wealth.
Such a person was undoubtedly the best candidate for the Overlord Hall: poor, no background, no connections, not affiliated with any school, a pure roving cultivator. Having made it to his current level single-handedly, he would undoubtedly have a strong resolve and considerable experience in the jianghu.
Moreover, he had a wife and children, reducing the chances of betrayal…
The Overlord Hall has always emphasized that what it needs and likes the most is exactly this type!
However, this Hu Dayang was different because Lord Tianyuan had already paid him to do sothing. He couldn’t brainwash him into joining the Overlord Hall like the others…
Once sothing goes wrong, Lord Tianyuan might be at a loss on what to do.
“What’s your plan for the trip?”
“I plan to go to Mount Siji first. I brought a herbal guide with . If I can’t collect everything there, I’ll have to go sowhere else.”
Feng Yin explained with an honest smile before pulling out a thick pile of sketches.
“So that I won’t make any mistakes, I had each herb drawn in multiple forms, in the seasons of spring, sumr, autumn and winter, when flowers bloom and fade…I prepared very thoroughly.”
“The food you’re carrying seems rather scant. Will it be enough for your journey into Mount Siji?”
“Your Highness must be jesting, with several taels of silver with , I will not go hungry.”
Feng Yin scratched his head in a straightforward manner: “As for food, I can buy that in Broken Jade City. I don’t have storage equipnt. If I buy it too soon, it could spoil.”
“Besides food, what else do you plan to buy?”
“When going to the mountain, naturally I will buy more insect repellent dicine for protection. Also, hardtack, the harder, the better, which can last longer. I don’t need to prepare much for drinking water, there are plenty of drinkable water sources on Mount Siji.”
