“Once he has rescued the many Ancestral Stars, then we can properly express our gratitude!”
“I believe the child will understand our good intentions!”
“…”
If the Ancestral Stars were to be devoured by darkness, even Wang Yang’s own Ancestral Star might be affected by the darkness.
So, in reality, they and Wang Yang could be considered allies.
“What you’re saying isn’t wrong!”
Upon hearing the words of the Elders, the Great Elder nodded as well, although he felt sowhat sorry for Wang Yang, banishing the darkness was of the utmost importance and could not be delayed.
Any delay could result in one more Ancestral Star being eroded by darkness, completely slipping out of their control.
For the Ancestral Star, there was no benefit to this whatsoever.
…
Wang Yang felt as though he was about to leave this world, but in the next mont, he couldn’t help but be sucked into a vortex and then disappeared without a trace.
“Be careful with fires, it’s dry weather!”
In the dead of night, the Night Watchman beat his gong, wandering the streets alone, calling out warnings.
He reminded residents to be cautious of fire hazards and reported the Hour, following the Night Watchman’s code.
It was now May, the height of sumr, and even the Night Watchman, who rely wore a casual jacket, felt a touch overheated; the brothels on the street had all closed their doors.
The Night Watchman, planning to call out twice more before heading ho, suddenly found his path blocked by a dark object.
The Night Watchman was startled, wondering if he had encountered sothing unclean, but years of experience made him braver than most.
He stepped forward to inspect and saw that it was a piece of cloth on the ground, made of silk no less.
To him, silk was a fine fabric only the nobility could afford.
The Night Watchman hesitated, finding it strange to co across such a valuable item on the street in the middle of the night.
It was well-known among the Night Watchn of Yulin City that it was ill-advised to claim unrighteous wealth in the middle of the night.
Although the object before him was precious, the Night Watchman still hesitated.
With ghosts and spirits rampant in this world, the Night Watchman rubbed his hands as if to conceal his own unease and reached out.
The weight of the silk on the ground was beyond what the Night Watchman had imagined; when he peered into it, he discovered an adorable infant wrapped within.
“Oh my god, whose child is this, thrown away so heartlessly?”
The Night Watchman exclaid on the spot, because the child looked very healthy, certainly not a naturally disabled child.
The Night Watchman looked around and saw that he was the only one in the streets of Yulin City at this late hour.
He sighed, seemingly hesitant about sothing, and then bent down, seemingly planning to put the child back.
But once he crouched down, he didn’t get up for a while, as if thinking sothing over.
His face was etched with conflict, “Ah, we both have hard lives; I’ve been a bachelor for over thirty years, with no family willing to let their daughter marry , so you might as well co with !”
The Night Watchman might not have been literate, but he was well aware of the affairs of the nobility.
Perhaps the child in his arms had been deliberately abandoned.
The Night Watchman also suddenly thought of himself; if this child were left here, he might encounter ghosts or demons.
Rather than letting the spirits take him, he decided it would be better to take care of the child himself.
With this thought, the Night Watchman took the child ho.
When he arrived ho, the Night Watchman boiled so hot water, then returned to the room and laid the silk on the kang (heated bed).
As soon as he opened it, the only thing on the baby’s body was a jade pendant, dangling forlornly around his neck.
The Night Watchman was even more startled upon seeing it.
This item was not sothing ordinary people could possess, no matter how wealthy they were, they wouldn’t dare to use such a thing.
It turned out to be a jade pendant with a dragon and phoenix dancing amidst golden threads, an adornnt only the Royal Family was permitted to use.
If discovered by others, it was an offense punishable by death.
The silk, under the lamplight, was clearly yellow in color.
This shocked him imnsely, but the look of conflict on his face beca even more intense.
It seed that picking up a child this ti ant that the items on him could only be carefully stored away.
After all, these two items were not sothing a common family could afford; only the rich or noble could possess them.
The Night Watchman also realized that the baby’s identity must be extraordinary.
However, since he had picked up the child himself, he naturally could not just throw him out again.
He simply said to the child, “You should have been clad in brocade robes and feasting on jade, but now that I’ve picked you up, you’ll just have to endure so hardship!”
The child suddenly opened his eyes and curiously looked around.
The way his eyes moved, full of spirituality, made the Night Watchman unconsciously break into a smile.
Wang Yang felt a wave of fatigue overtake him, as if sothing was calling to him.
He forcibly opened his heavy eyelids and got his first clear view of the outside world.
A man with dark yellow skin smiled at him.
At this mont, Wang Yang was extrely tired, and without giving it too much thought, he fell asleep.
Seeing the baby asleep, the Night Watchman smiled faintly.
After that, the Night Watchman took very responsible care of the baby.
The next day, he resigned from his night watchman job in the city.
This night watchman’s na was Wu Mo, who was in his mid-thirties, but as a man naturally dull-witted and not particularly handso, he had been a bachelor all these years.
Such a man, if placed in a crowd, would be the least noticeable of all, the only comndable thing about him being that Wu Mo had not done anything bad and was extrely kind-hearted his whole life.
Upon flipping over the jade pendant, Wu Mo saw the na Wang Yang engraved on it.
He started to feel uncomfortable, having to raise a baby that already had a na.
He gritted his teeth but eventually decided to let the baby keep the na Wang Yang.
Wu Mo sensed sothing extraordinary about the na, not just because of Wang Yang himself, but because ‘Wang’ is a surna of royalty.
Taken on its own, it might not an anything, but combined with the silk and the jade pendant, it was enough to keep Wu Mo on edge.
However, Wu Mo spent a long ti trying to find information about Wang Yang.
In the end, he found nothing; it seed Wang Yang did not co from a family of high officials or nobility.
But since Wu Mo had taken in Wang Yang, he beca quite vigilant and stored the jade pendant and silk very carefully.
Then he took Wang Yang out of the city to live.
He also built a wooden hut for himself in the forests outside the city.
Not far from the place where Wu Mo lived was a village called Qingcheng Mountain Village.
The village wasn’t nad for the mountains there, but for a person, a being who even Exorcists admired.
But that is a story for later.
From ti to ti, Wu Mo would go to the village to trade for food, and in the forests, he honed his hunting skills.
In such circumstances, Wang Yang gradually grew up.
Seven years flew by in a flash, and Wang Yang from a young age was quiet and composed, seemingly born with wisdom, which did not surprise Wu Mo.
After all, he was the descendant of those lords, perhaps even an Exorcist’s progeny; having so exceptional traits was quite normal.
Wu Mo was rather accepting of this and had Wang Yang address him as Uncle instead of Father.
“This Ancestral Master of Qingcheng, with a sword like rivers and mountains stretching for thousands of miles, no demon can stand against it.
With one strike, they dissipate into smoke and clouds,” Wu Mo said as he laid back on the bamboo chair he had made, seemingly gazing at the Milky Way while Wang Yang listened attentively to the recounting.
Wang Yang spent the first four years in a daze, but in the last three years, he slowly began to awaken, seemingly due to the constraints of the laws of heaven and earth, yet he successfully awakened.
He had thought this world to be an ordinary one, but once, when Wu Mo ntioned Qingcheng Mountain Village inadvertently, Wang Yang asked why the village was nad after Qingcheng Mountain.
The answer Wu Mo gave was that the village had produced an Exorcist who achieved enlightennt on Qingcheng Mountain and was well-renowned in the Exorcist Realm.
This made Wang Yang realize for the first ti that demons and monsters existed in this world.
It seed he had co to another world.
