When Sage Yu arrived on the aircraft, he fell silent as he looked at the Chaos heads piled up like a small mountain. After a while, he awkwardly chuckled, "The City Guardian of New Hangzhou underestimated the number of heads. I assure you, in the na of a sage, the rewards for these heads will be tripled, and if New Hangzhou’s brood stock is insufficient, New Azura can supply five thousand more piglets."
"Thanks to Sage Yu." Malin never misjudged New Hangzhou’s officials—if it were him, he wouldn’t believe that such a small Dark Zone could contain nearly six thousand Chaos heads.
All these Chaos ca through the rifts, and Malin, through Salis, could confirm that about seven lucky ones had escaped. But in the Dark Zone, Chaos is not at the top of the food chain, with far too many beings capable of putting them to death. Moreover, Malin instructed Shen Wansan to order that each lucky one would have a corresponding hunting squad responsible, and the top four would get extra portions.
Within the Awakeners, extra portions work far better than money.
This ti, when Sage Yu ca, Malin specifically took him to revisit the city. To describe it as ever-changing might be an exaggeration, but it’s always impressive to Sage Yu after a short absence.
"I don’t know if we can have that old lady teach the orphans of New Hangzhou." Sage Yu, looking at the situation of the old director in the courtyard, muttered to himself and then sighed afterward, "Let take that back. This is the opportunity for the Awakeners, not for us."
"No, I think you can try, but I hope you can add a comparison target." Malin gestured for Sage Yu to follow him.
"What do you an, Mr. Malin?" Sage Yu followed Malin out of the courtyard.
"What I an is, for humans, bring two groups of children, one group of normal orphans and one group of intellectually disabled. I know this damned world; the latter rarely makes it, but I think in a vast place like Thainan, we can find so. I want to know if my old director... can treat them equally." To Malin, it was remarkable that the old director could enlighten mutated biohumans, and it would be a great thing if he could enlighten these defectives.
"Leave it to , but I’ll need at least a week." Sage Yu expressed no objections.
Malin naturally expressed his understanding, simultaneously taking him to the infirmary to et that unlucky group of Adventurers—information from Zhang Minghe, already sent back by Malin, revealed that the seemingly youthful captain was an Awakener of elven bloodline. Despite appearances, the man was already eighty-five, possessing the Transcendent abilities of a Sword Dancer.
Unfortunately, he encountered a Chaos squad; a Sword Dance and double fists were no match for hundreds of weapons. Leading the team out of the encirclent was already his best effort.
"You’re lucky." Sage Yu seed acquainted with the Half-blood, whose mouth Malin had knocked all teeth out, the latter’s whole face swollen but still smiling like a blooming pig head—according to the guy himself, he sealed his soul with the best hope that his elders could retrieve his soul stone afterward. Though it couldn’t bring him back to life, at least it could allow him to return to the underworld and reincarnate again.
Who would’ve thought they’d encounter a Legendary Lord, who, with one Sacred Punch, not only expelled the Chaos Wraith from his body but also saved his life.
Although he lost his full set of teeth, it’ll be excruciating to undergo the Tooth Growth Spell Formation later, but at least he’s alive, right?
Then he shook hands with the remaining young people one by one and finally ca to the Immortal Master young lady, who seed full of curiosity.
"Little Grandpa!" To Malin’s surprise, the young girl called Sage Yu that.
"This ti, if it weren’t for Lord Malin, you’d be dead, you little brat." Sage Yu didn’t respond further, rely saying in a very light, cold tone.
The little girl hung her head, showing a very aggrieved deanor.
After they left, Malin expressed a certain curiosity.
"I knew you would be curious; this story begins long ago. My family is the most renowned Immortal Master family in New Azura. My father, before having , had seventeen children from four wives. My brothers and sisters were all incredibly powerful Immortal Masters, but I... I was disabled. Hence, I was no longer a family mber but was sent to the previous Sage Yu."
Through Sage Yu’s narration, Malin understood his experiences; he had known his true surna since childhood, knowing where he ca from.
After he beca a sage, his parents indeed ca to apologize in person, and Sage Yu was willing to forgive them. Everything seed to settle down peacefully.
But Malin realized that Sage Yu never truly forgave him or her.
After all, just because he had no Transcendent abilities, his family abandoned him. If it weren’t for the previous Sage Yu, who knows how twisted a child Sage Yu might have beco.
"I know... A family can’t support a useless person; not discarding or disposing of was already a very rciful thing." Sage Yu walked ahead, seemingly in a bad mood: "But... since I have mories, I never felt love from my father or mother. They hated , hated for my lack of abilities... I clearly rember they were happy when they sent away."
