A carriage traveled on the official road.
It wasn't too obvious, so naturally nothing happened. It was quite safe along the way.
Yuan Tianchu looked into the distance, that was the direction of his home.
He walked further and further.
It was unknown when he would return home.
He had been thinking about his father's true goal for sending him out.
Did he want to understand Lin Fan's personality?
There was no need for that. Anyway, he knew that Lin Fan couldn't be offended, so he would just hide in You City.
On the contrary, Liang Yongqi was much calmer. He was someone who was abandoned by the family. His big brother took away his father's love and the right to inherit the family.
He understood.
Boys had to be careful when they were outside.
Seeing that Yuan Tianchu was in deep thought, he asked, "Brother Yuan, you said that your father sent you out. Is it because your big brother is coming back and your father wants to pass the family head position to your brother?"
Yuan Tianchu had an older brother and many younger brothers and sisters. Of course, his brother was the one who had the best life. He was recruited as a disciple by the sect experts and hadn't returned for decades.
"Don't mess with my mind, that is impossible." Yuan Tianchu said.
But he panicked.
What if Liang Yongqi was right?
Lin Fan looked at the two of them and didn't say anything. He also didn't understand why his father sent him out and even sent these two burdens with him. His family's relationship with these two families wasn't very good.
A few days later.
An army entered the city. Liu Xuan and the others rushed back from You City. They had failed this mission and failed to recruit Lin Wanyi.
At the entrance of the carriage.
Liu Xuan and the others got off their horses and let the guards lead them away.
A soldier walked over and said, "Sir, that person is still following behind."
"En?" Liu Xuan was shocked, "He isn't dead?"
He turned his head and looked at the fellow who wanted to join him in You City. He was wobbling like he was about to faint at any moment.
During this period of time, it was like he was walking at the edge of hell. He often felt his life slipping away. If not for his willpower, he would have died long ago.
"Sir, what should we do now?" The soldier asked.
Liu Xuan frowned. This person gave him a dangerous feeling.
He was really dumb, but he was too vicious to himself. If he really climbed up, it might affect him.
But for some reason, Liu Xuan wanted to see how far this fellow could go.
"Send him to dig rocks." Liu Xuan said.
The soldier was stunned for a moment, then he nodded and said, "Yes."
He looked at Zu Xiang with a pitiful gaze.
That place was not a place for people to stay. No one knew how many people had died there. Generally, only prisoners on death row or people who had committed major crimes would be sent there.
Liu Xuan didn't say much and hurried to report to King Wutong.
In a luxurious mansion.
This manor was King Wutong's territory. The aristocratic families in the city were all uprooted by King Wutong and all their wealth was used by the military.
At this moment, Liu Xuan bowed and entered the room. He saw King Wutong sitting cross-legged and drinking tea.
King Wutong's looks weren't outstanding but the aura he gave off wasn't to be underestimated.
"The recruitment failed?" King Wutong asked.
Liu Xuan knelt on the ground, "Yes, I failed. Lin Wanyi rejected the offer."
"I expected it. You were friends with Lin Wanyi in the past and I was looking forward to it. I didn't expect that you would reject my good intentions." King Wutong smiled.
Liu Xuan felt like he was losing face and felt that Lin Wanyi wasn't good enough.
No matter what, they were friends and he didn't give him any face at all. So what if he was recruited? King Wutong was talented and had the intelligence to rule the world.
It was important to follow the right person. What was the point of hiding in a small You City?
"King, should we send troops to destroy You City?" Liu Xuan asked. To him, the situation was simple. Since he didn't give King Wutong face, then he would just wipe him out and everything would be fine.
King Wutong said, "No need for now. I have heard rumors about You City's Lin Wanyi. Now is the time to send troops to deal with him. It isn't wise to deal with Lin Wanyi, so let's leave him aside for now."
Liu Xuan replied. Working beside King Wutong was a huge pressure. He wasn't the only strategist.
If he couldn't get things done, then his position in King Wutong's heart would be greatly reduced.
At that moment.
A white pigeon flew in from outside with a letter tied to its leg.
King Wutong looked at the letter and frowned. He then relaxed and his expression was dark and sunken. Failed, they actually failed to get the map.
The letter said that they met with an accident and were all wiped out. A few unknown people broke it.
This matter made him furious. Trash, a bunch of trash, they could even fail like that.
It was good that they died.
Even if they returned, he would skin them alive.
At such an important moment, they failed. No matter who it was, they would be punished severely.
Liu Xuan saw that King Wutong's expression wasn't good and retreated.
Another few days later.
Lin Fan's group was already thousands of miles away from You City.
They walked on the official path and didn't face any danger.
This was a little different from what Lin Fan had expected. In his opinion, when one was outside, there would definitely be danger at all times.
A journey without danger would be so boring.
Another day later, the sun shone brightly.
"Cousin, we are already at the foot of Martial Path Mountain." Zhou Zhongmao said.
Lin Fan walked out of the carriage and raised his head to look. In front of him was a huge mountain. He could see that there were houses on it and the surrounding was covered by trees. It was very different from the thousands of mountains he had imagined.
"Why does it feel a little old and broken?" Lin Fan said.
It wasn't that he looked down on this place but that he really felt that way.
Yuan Tianchu said, "Brother Lin, the mountain is spiritual. This Martial Path Mountain is in the mountains, so it is definitely not bad."
"Where are the people? We stood at the foot of the mountain for so long and didn't even see a single person. It is just too cold." Lin Fan said.
In his heart.
Father told him to come to Martial Path Mountain, so this Martial Path Mountain was definitely an amazing place. A famous sect, glorious, luxurious, and deep.
However, he really couldn't tell.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Lin Fan's words made sense. He didn't see a single person. When he raised his head and looked out, there was a cold feeling.
No matter what.
It was really different from what he expected.
Liang Yongqi was helpless. Was this where he was going to live from now on?
It was just too secluded.
"Let's go up." Lin Fan said.
Zhou Zhongmao walked in front. Before coming, Uncle told him that Martial Path Mountain Sect Leader Zhang Tianshan had a relationship with him. Martial Path Mountain was developing well. Although it couldn't compare to large sects, it had its own specialties.
However, it seemed like something wasn't right.
Logically speaking, even if it was a normal sect, there should at least be disciples at the foot of the mountain.
There was also a lot of dust on the road. It was obvious that not many people walked here.
The path up the mountain wasn't tough. There were steps, and after walking for a long time, they finally reached the top.
The stone door was huge, with the words Martial Path Mountain written on it.
However, there was still no one, and it was really empty.
"Did we come to the wrong place, or did my Father lie to me?" Lin Fan asked.
Suddenly.
There was a piece of paper pasted on the stone pillar. Maybe because of the passage of time, it had already turned yellow.
Lin Fan walked forwards to take a look, and his pupils constricted.
"What?"
Yuan Tianchu walked over and took a look too, "Damn …"
Liang Yongqi found it weird. What was going on? Why was he making such a big deal out of nothing? However, when he saw it, his expression became really weird and he blurted out.
"Damn."
