"Ah... Mr. Wen... you, you want a servant token?"
Lianxin never imagined Wen Zhixing would say such a thing. Not just her, even Murong Fenghua hadn’t expected it. Those so-called God prides, each one haughty and arrogant, would find being labeled as a servant an utter humiliation. How could they have predicted Wen Zhixing would be so utterly shaless?
"This... this... that... Mr. Wen..." For a mont, Lianxin found herself at a loss for words.
"What’s wrong?" Wen Zhixing spoke, his deanor calm. "Is a servant token difficult to obtain?"
He had never cared about so-called status. Strength was the essence.
"It’s... not that..." Lianxin forced a smile and said, "It’s just... a servant token requires a disciple of the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land to accompany the recipient to register and collect it. Now that the miss is not here... we can’t get one."
"Can’t get one? How troubleso!" Wen Zhixing frowned. "Did Fairy Murong say when she would return?"
"The miss didn’t say." Lianxin shook her head.
"Then can I stay here for a few more days?"
"After today, you’ll have overstayed. Tomorrow, people from the Law Enforcent Hall will co to verify identities," Lianxin hurriedly explained. If not for that, she wouldn’t have been so anxious.
"So, I must go get the token today." Wen Zhixing narrowed his eyes.
Lianxin nodded repeatedly. Yes, that was it; she was desperate.
"What if I don’t have the token? What would happen then?" Wen Zhixing thought for a bit and asked again.
"That..." Lianxin hesitated slightly. "Individuals of unclear identity, if they don’t leave in ti, are subject to the discretion of the Law Enforcent Hall’s enforcers."
Wen Zhixing’s countenance darkened upon hearing this. At their discretion... That ant they could kill or detain as they wished. His fate would entirely depend on their mood.
"What if I wanted to leave the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land?" Wen Zhixing pondered another possibility. He needn’t necessarily stay at the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land. This was Zhongzhou, after all. Fortune Fragnts were unlikely to be scarce anywhere. Perhaps... leaving was a good option. When the ti ca, he would just find a safe place and lay low for three years. Why three years? Because based on his current life-span, if he collected Fortune Fragnts every day, it would only last about three years. What happened afterward was still unclear; he could only plan based on the current situation.
"Of course, one can leave," Lianxin said. "But... Mr. Wen might be unable to cross the Ghostly Spring River alone. Even if he did, he would likely be trapped by the array, unable to get out."
"Ghostly Spring River, array..." Wen Zhixing ca to a realization. He had crossed the river with Murong Fenghua before. Surely, that river must be the so-called Ghostly Spring River. As for the Hundred Tribulations Array, he had personally experienced it. With his current strength, there was no way he could break through. Though he possessed a Barrier Breaking Pearl, since acquiring it, he had stored less than a month’s worth of energy. It simply couldn’t be used. Even if it could be used, breaking through the Hundred Tribulations Array would likely be difficult unless he gathered a full year’s worth of Barrier Breaking energy.
"So, I can leave, but no one will assist in doing so..." Wen Zhixing suddenly felt a headache coming on. If he didn’t leave, he would be arbitrarily dealt with by the Law Enforcent Hall. This ant he seemingly had no choice but to get that cultivation token. In the future, he could only live within the outer sect. There, he would similarly lack protection or guarantees.
"Mr. Wen, rest assured, with your talent, you will certainly obtain the cultivation token easily." Lianxin, assuming Wen Zhixing lacked confidence, clenched her small fists and pumped them encouragingly.
"Let’s go. Lead the way." Wen Zhixing nodded, then looked up and smiled. Since there was no other choice, he might as well go through with it. Coincidentally, he had already achieved initial mastery of the Fortune Divine Devil Skill. Now he could change his own essence at will, no longer afraid that his Longevity Body would be exposed.
"Yes, Mr. Wen, please follow ." Seeing this, Lianxin also smiled, hopped twice, and led the way.
「At the sa ti.」
Within a cave dwelling in the outer sect, Qin Yang had once again sought out Li Juncheng.
"Junior Brother Qin, what brings you to my place today?" Li Juncheng sat on a ditation cushion, chuckling as he watched the visitor.
"Hahaha, I had so free ti and decided to co for a visit." Qin Yang strode in, the exotic beast curled up into a ball on his right shoulder.
"Junior Brother Qin, if there’s anything, speak frankly." Li Juncheng glanced at Qin Yang; a visit at this hour likely heralded nothing good.
"Hahaha, I can’t hide anything from Senior Brother. Indeed, I do have a small matter. I heard that Senior Brother has a good relationship with Brother Ji from the Law Enforcent Hall. Could Senior Brother possibly do a favor?" Qin Yang asked openly, a hint of malice in his eyes. The exotic beast on his shoulder slowly opened its eyes, revealing its enchanting blue-purple pupils.
"The Law Enforcent Hall... you... intend to take action today?" Li Juncheng was taken aback by his words. He instantly understood Qin Yang’s intentions. So little ti had passed, yet Qin Yang was already this impatient. Li Juncheng had expected Qin Yang to choose an opportune mont to act against Wen Zhixing. That way, he could keep out of the affair. If they took action now, he might get entangled too. After all, Wen Zhixing had t very few people; if sothing happened, he would inevitably co under suspicion. Although he was not afraid of trouble, he also didn’t want any unnecessary complications.
