Chosen Man
Yu Zhong's
He's always been like this. He never likes to drag on when saying goodbye.
Seeing Feng Zun's tall figure disappear in the distance, Jing Li and Changning heaved a sigh of relief as if the pressure in their hearts had been lifted.
Clearly, the two were completely unable to relax during the trip across the river with Feng Zun, and their feelings were restrained and agitated.
However, when he parted with Feng Zun, both of them felt relaxed and yet there was a sense of loss appearing in their hearts.
To them, He was like an immortal being, one could only look forward to it but could not establish a relationship with him!
"Senior Brother, I don't expect someone like Feng Zun to really consider our safety, he is also thinking about whether we will get involved for knowing him. This is really surprising" Changning said
The eyes of this gentle and beautiful young lady sparkled, bringing joy.
“This is the attitude of a true expert. Perhaps only someone with a vastness of mind was capable of having unimaginable achievements on the path to the peak of cultivation.”
Jing Li sighed.
Not long after that the two of them carefully stored the three talismans Feng Zun gave him and walked towards the shinju village which was still quite far away.
In the middle of the road, a voice suddenly came from a distant river.
“Jing Li, Changning, you two are running fast. Even you guys have arrived at Shinju Village Pier earlier than us.”
From a distance, they saw a ferry approaching with a group of people standing on it.
The leader was a man who was gallant and kind with gray hair. He wore a long robe with broad arms and stood upright and gallant.
This person was surprisingly the Great Elder of Hongsan Academy, Yu Zhong!
"Martial Uncle Yu Zhong!"
In Hongsan Academy, usually the disciples would call their elders or teachers as Uncle Master, while the Great Elder's call was Martial Uncle.
Jing Li and Changning both waved, looking excited.
After experiencing the various events from before, when they saw the current Yu Zhong, the two looked as if they had found a reliable strong supporter, and of course they were very happy in their hearts.
Soon, the ferry reached the pier. And Yu Zhong led everyone.
"Let's go. Watch time. We should be able to reach jade city by nightfall."
Yu Zhong smiled.
As the Grand Elder of Hongsan Academy, he had never taken a disciple all this time, yet instead he had now taken the initiative to lead a group of disciples to jade city during attending the autumn competition.
"Martial Uncle, I have something to report to you. Can we ... chat in private?"
Jing Li hesitated for a moment before speaking in a low voice.
Yu Zhong was stunned for a moment before nodding. "Follow me."
As he spoke, he led Jing Li to the peach tree in the distance and said softly, "What's the matter? Could something happen along the way?"
Jing Li took a deep breath and said nervously, "Martial Uncle, Little Sister and I may have gotten into trouble..."
He lowered his head, not daring to look Yu Zhong in the eyes.
Yu Zhong frowned slightly. “Do not be afraid. Tell me what really happened."
Jing Li did not dare to hide anything, so she told him from the beginning, about how she met Feng Zun and how they crossed the river together with the boat.
As the mention of Feng Zun's identity was revealed, Jing Li's heart became weak, and he didn't realize that the Great Elder, whom he respected and considered his backer, had a strange look in his eyes.
Even...Young Master Feng is strong enough to make Hua Tian?
Yu Zhong's heart trembled.
His reaction caused Jing Li to feel even more guilty, and he said with a shy expression, “Martial Uncle, I never expected that the young man I met on the street would actually become such a terrifying existence like Feng Zun. If I had known earlier..”.
Yu Zhong could not help but laugh as he interjected, “Foolish boy, how can you feel guilty over this matter? This is definitely a great opportunity!”
"Huh?"
Jing Li was a little confused. He thought the Great Elder would scold him.
Unexpectedly, such a thing not only happened, he was even praised!
"You're too young."
Yu Zhong sighed with emotion. "In the eyes of a true cultivator, being able to know Young Master Feng was already a blessing of three lives, a blessing that one might not be able to encounter for eight lives!"
"This ..."
Jing Li was even more confused, unable to understand. "Could it be that Martial Uncle isn't worried if we get acquainted with Feng Zun and will be involved in a disaster?"
One should know that many people in the world view Feng Zun as a catastrophe.
“True, maybe it is precisely because you and your Little Sister are young and always defending justice, or maybe it is precisely because of this rare trait that Young Master Feng is willing to travel together with the two of you.”
Yu Zhong pondered for a moment and could roughly guess Feng Zun's thoughts back then. For a moment, he could only envy Jing Li and Changning .
One had to know that back then, to establish a relationship with Feng Zun was impossible. For example, Prince Zhou Lingyun was willing to give everything he had just to gain the support of Feng Zun. But in the end he established a relationship with Feng Zun and made himself the Crown Prince.
However, who would have thought that juniors like Jing Li and Changning would have the opportunity to travel with Feng Zun just based on their innate natures…
In comparison to that difficulty, it could only sigh.
"Martial Uncle, before Young Master Feng left, he gave me and my little sister three jade talismans. He said that if we both get into trouble, we can use these two talismans to get help."
As he spoke, Jing Li took out the jade token he obtained and was about to hand it over.
Yu Zhong hurriedly said, “Quick save that back! How can we casually accept the treasure that Young Master Feng gave us for the public to see?
Even though he spoke like this, he sighed in his heart. Is this really stupid luck? Didn't Young Master Feng pay too much attention to these two little children?
"Oh yeah, where is Young Master Feng Zun?"
Yu Zhong suddenly realized something.
Jing Li quickly replied, "She just left not too long ago. About.... ten minutes?"
Yu Zhong pondered for a moment before saying, “Don't tell this matter to others. In a moment, you should tell Changning not to divulge the jade talisman that Young Master Feng gave you.”
Jing Li agreed solemnly.
Yu Zhong patted her shoulder with a smile and said with a gentle gaze, “Jing Li, no matter what rank you can obtain at this year's Martial Competition, I am willing to accept you as my last disciple. Do you want to?"
Jing Li was overjoyed and immediately agreed. "Of course I'm willing!"
Yu Zhong nodded in satisfaction and said, "Let's go. We'll meet the others and leave for jade city."
On the other hand, he pondered in his heart. When he reached the Jade city, he would first contact some comrades, and then find an opportunity to meet Feng Zun.
No matter what, the attention of the entire world would be focused on the jade city. If everyone knew that when Feng Zun arrived at the jade city, a storm of chatter would definitely break out.
