Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Reunion
"This matter, Master Wan indeed notified
in advance."
In the Battle Hall of Whale Castle, Yue Wuji said to Zhang Yuan with so helplessness, "I have no reason to oppose."
Zhang Yuan fell silent for a mont and asked, "Hall Master, do you know if there are other disciples besides
who have undergone Soul Evaluation?"
The incident from yesterday had left him unsettled.
So today, he specially ca to visit Wuji, hoping to glean so inside information from him.
This question from Zhang Yuan made Yue Wuji’s expression beco grave.
The Hall Master of the Battle Hall shook his head, "No."
Zhang Yuan’s heart sank instantly.
His intuition was not wrong; Master Sun from Cyan Cloud Temple had co specifically for him!
Yue Wuji hesitated for a mont, then sighed, "Zhang Yuan, although I am reluctant, you should be prepared to be transferred to the Upper Helm for duty."
This Battle Hall Master also felt very displeased internally.
Zhang Yuan was his most promising rising star, seen as the future Chief War General of the Battle Hall.
Zhang Yuan had outstanding martial arts talent and worked with extre diligence and effort.
With continued honing, he would undoubtedly beco a sharp and unparalleled blade.
Yet suddenly, the Nanxun Sub-Branch intervened out of the blue to snatch Zhang Yuan away, making Yue Wuji feel as if he were dressing a bride for soone else. How could he feel at ease?
But the arm can’t twist the thigh.
After all, the Nanxun Sub-Branch is the Upper Helm of the Linhai Sub-Branch.
With such pressure from above, even the Hall Master of the Battle Hall couldn’t resist!
Seeing Yue Wuji’s statent, Zhang Yuan understood in his heart that it was an irreversible situation.
He feared he truly had to go to the unfamiliar domain of Nanxun Prefecture.
Logically, being promoted from the county town to the prefecture city was an upgrade, yet the malice Master Sun had subtly shown during the Soul Evaluation made Zhang Yuan alard.
However, this suspicion and dread were clearly not sothing he could discuss with Yue Wuji.
Even though this Hall Master had consistently shown significant trust in Zhang Yuan.
But if Zhang Yuan were to completely trust him because of this, it would be far too naive!
He couldn’t help but ask, "Hall Master, what exactly is the Soul Evaluation? Is it a qualification test?"
At Zhang Yuan’s question, Yue Wuji visibly hesitated before answering, "Yes, it’s a technique of Daoist magic that can asure accurately."
Yes, but that’s not all!
Yue Wuji’s reaction instantly made Zhang Yuan, who had lived two lives, realize that the Hall Master was definitely hiding sothing.
And what he was hiding was likely the key to it all.
However, Yue Wuji either had scruples or didn’t see the necessity of telling Zhang Yuan.
Hence, he kept it concealed.
"So that’s how it is."
Zhang Yuan nodded and saluted Yue Wuji, "Hall Master, thank you for taking care of your disciple all this ti. If there’s ever a chance in the future, I’ll certainly try my best to repay your kindness."
What Zhang Yuan said was not empty words; Yue Wuji had indeed provided him with a lot of help.
"Let’s not talk about that."
Yue Wuji waved his hand and sighed, "Go back and prepare well. Settle the things that need to be settled. After you go to the Upper Helm, take good care of yourself and strive to achieve Qi Entry as soon as possible."
All beings beneath Tier Four are ants.
Only by stepping into the realm of True Qi can one be eligible to control their destiny.
Yue Wuji’s words were truly heartfelt.
He genuinely cared for Zhang Yuan!
Zhang Yuan bowed deeply again, "I’ll rember the Hall Master’s teachings!"
"Go."
With a trace of complex emotions, Zhang Yuan left the Battle Hall.
As he walked out the door, he glanced back at the plaque hanging high above the lintel, feeling quite emotional.
Originally, Zhang Yuan planned to stay in the Linhai Sub-Branch until he reached the Tier Four level.
Once the ti was ripe, he would then head to new horizons in pursuit of a higher martial arts realm!
Having returned to a new life, Zhang Yuan wanted to live it brilliantly.
Even more, he wanted to fully grasp his destiny!
Unfortunately, this unforeseen incident interrupted his plans.
But Zhang Yuan would not resent his fate or fly into a powerless rage.
He was considering how to respond.
If Zhang Yuan were only responsible for himself, then it wouldn’t be much of a problem; he’d just venture to the Upper Helm of Nanxun.
Even if soone intended him harm, it was nothing more than responding to an army with generals and to water with earth!
Relying on the power of the five Hosts, even against Tier Four True Qi masters, Zhang Yuan had the daring to test the waters.
But he had a close kin!
Zhang Yuan didn’t feel that taking his mother along to Nanxun Prefecture City was the right choice.
But leaving his mother here was completely wrong too.
He contemplated and contemplated and couldn’t co up with a good solution at the mont.
"Master Zhang!"
At this mont, a samurai hurried over and reported, "A woman has just arrived outside, claiming to be a distant relative of yours and wants to see you."
A distant relative? A woman?
Zhang Yuan was slightly taken aback.
He had been dependent on his mother since childhood, and they were outsiders in Chen Family Village.
Where would a distant relative co from?
But the next mont, a face flashed across Zhang Yuan’s mind!
He nodded without showing any emotion, "I understand."
When Zhang Yuan arrived at the gates of Whale Castle, he imdiately saw the graceful figure in front leading a horse.
Though she wore a cloak and veil, leaving only a pair of deep eyes exposed.
Zhang Yuan instantly recognized her, "Seventh Sister!"
He was truly both surprised and delighted, not having expected that after their parting, they would have a day of reunion!
Liu Seventh Lady smiled gracefully, her eyes shimring with a captivating light.
Zhang Yuan hurried forward and couldn’t help but ask, "Why have you co?"
Liu Seventh Lady smiled and replied, "I wanted to see you, so I ca."
Zhang Yuan suppressed the excitent in his heart and said, "Co, let’s go sowhere else to talk."
He initially intended to take Liu Seventh Lady to his house in Whale Castle, to let this dry sister et his mother.
But on second thought, it seed unwise.
Especially at this critical mont.
To avoid any unnecessary complications, Zhang Yuan took Liu Seventh Lady to his house in Linhe County Town.
He had bought this house long ago, at the ti it was quite an ’expensive’ purchase.
Later, after joining the Furious Whale Gang and moving to Wu Manor, it had remained empty since.
Zhang Yuan occasionally went to the county town to do so simple cleaning.
Now it served as the most suitable place to entertain Liu Seventh Lady.
Once there, Zhang Yuan arranged for Liu Seventh Lady to sit while he prepared tea.
But Liu Seventh Lady stopped him, "Zhang Yuan, no need for such trouble. I’m just here to see you. I’m leaving tomorrow."
Zhang Yuan was stunned for a mont, "So rushed? Seventh Sister, have you found your Master?"
"No."
Liu Seventh Lady shook her head and replied, "But I heard a piece of news, soone might have seen him, the elder, in Qianjing. So, I plan to go to Qianjing."
"Qianjing is thousands of miles away, you and I might not have the chance to et again, so..."
Zhang Yuan suddenly understood.
This ti, Liu Seventh Lady suddenly ca to Linhe to truly bid him farewell!
At the sa ti, an idea suddenly sprouted in his mind.
