Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 58: Mission to Sura Village
"It seems you have a question."
Zhang Yu blinked a few times then shook his head. "I just didn't expect it to turn out that the teacher was the Head of the Academy."
Haha...
"This teacher of yours is indeed the Head of the Academy." Wang Chen, the hundred-year-old old man laughed so satisfiedly at the confusion on Zhang Yu's face.
From the beginning he did not say his identity because he wanted Zhang Yu to find out for himself. When he arrived at the academy he still did not know about it, but the arrival of Elder Xin Fei dismantled everything.
"Already, now say what you want." The first step is to pretend to forget. But since suddenly comes one business then it must be resolved immediately.
"Teacher, you're not gonna pull your words anymore, are you?"
Wang Chen clucked. "Quick say. Or you don't want it?"
Zhang Yu became excited and tried to think of something.
"Ah I know ... I want instructions on the second part of the body cultivation book. Teacher has to teach me how to master it."
Wang Chen stroked his thick white beard. He tried to hold the nimang well. "It doesn't look good. It's not that I don't want to teach, it's just that for the book of body cultivation you have to master it yourself. Because this will affect your future development."
Zhang Yu was pensive to hear the teacher's words. He stared at the teacher's clear currency without any lies.
"So I can only try myself?" he said reluctantly.
"You have to do it yourself. And since this request is void, you can make another request."
Zhang Yu again sought something that would be useful and profitable. Unfortunately, not a single thing came into his head.
It is impossible for him to ask for the position of the academy head? No no, it would only trouble her.
"I'll save this request for later. How's Teacher? Can't you?"
"Because you're still confused you can rethink that."
"Thank you Master. Now I have to go to complete the mission." After getting the nod Zhang Yu directly left the gazebo. Not knowing how long he had been here with his teacher, he had almost forgotten the promise to gather at the gate.
Meanwhile, in front of the gate.
"Wu Zetian, where exactly is Zhang Yu? Didn't you say he was coming?" Tang Yue looked up and felt the air temperature getting hotter. From morning until noon but the person who awaited did not come.
Wu Zetian felt guilty and finally confessed.
"I honestly don't know where he went. He said there was business so I didn't stop him. Who would have thought that until now he had not returned."
Tang Yue's lips twitched. His eyes squinted at Wu Zetian annoyed. "You're really outrageous! Why not say it from the beginning? Maybe we should look for him now."
"Why should we look for him? He who does not come is his messenger. We better find one extra person and leave him." He Jiao's. From the start he had a not-so-good impression of Zhang Yu. For a while now she had always been silent due to the existence of Tang Yue and Wu Zetian, but after seeing her irresponsible attitude, gave her the opportunity to vent it.
Tang Yue and Wu Zetian looked at each other.
"No no, this is not true. In the mission scroll it was clear who was belonging to the group. We automatically fail if we replace the members for no reason and clear explanation," Tang Yue said.
He Jiao bent her face unhappily. "He did not come when the time came together. We have reason to get him out of the group."
"Who didn't come? I'm already here."
Suddenly Zhang Yu's voice appeared behind the three people. They were shocked and spontaneously turned around.
"Sorry late. There's a little business to do." Zhang Yu apologized to them. Tang Yue and Wu Zetian were still giving space, but He Jiao simply turned her face away while snorting heavily.
"No need to think about it. He Jiao was indeed a little tight. Moreover, your first meeting had a bad impression of making him behave like that. But he's actually very nice." Tang Yue tried to explain.
Zhang Yu nodded his head. But actually it is not necessary at all because it is not related to him. Even if the He family was currently in business relations with the Zhang Clan, it did not require him to have close relations with every member of their family.
"Alright, because the group is complete we leave." Tang Yue walked excitedly while carrying the mission scroll. When the two picket disciples checked, he directly reached out handing over the mission scroll.
After confirming the authenticity of the mission scroll, the two guarding disciples pulled the lever to open the gate. "You must be careful because the last few days there have been many attacks in Sura Village."
"Thank you, we'll be careful."
Four people left the academy territory. Moving together towards Sura Village which was at the southern end of Xue He City.
After an hour of land travel, the journey must be continued by boat.
"Tang Yue how much longer are we going to arrive?" Being on the front deck, Wu Zetian folded his hands and looked impatient.
Tang Yue snorted softly. "Can't you be more patient? We'll reach Sura Village at night."
"Ck ... I'm just asking, why are you so angry?"
"That's because you keep asking questions since you got on the boat. It makes me sick!" Tang Yue again snorted then glanced at the place where Zhang Yu who was also not so far from where he was.
"Look at Zhang Yu, not only is he handsome and talented, he is also very patient. Unlike you who continue to be noisy throughout the journey," he added with a little sneer.
This sentence made Wu Zetian annoyed. He looked at Tang Yue then said mockingly. "You think you're beautiful yourself? Even if He Jiao doesn't make up, you're still far off with her."
"Wu Zetian, y-you ...."
"What?! Let's fight if you don't take it."
Tang Yue really wanted to beat Wu Zetian up right now. But he still remembered on their purpose of traveling towards Sura Village. He stomped his foot slowly and turned around.
"Take it you're lucky fat pig!"
His voice was very slow. But Wu Zetian still heard it. He replied by shouting. "Almost crazy, you're the lucky one!"
Their discussion attracted enough attention. He Jiao looked from the side, as well as Zhang Yu.
As Tang Yue praised Zhang Yu she could not help but look at him.
"Indeed ...." He was lulled for a while. But as quickly as lightning restored his consciousness and dismissed the thought of who would say Zhang Yu was indeed handsome.
He exhaled a rough breath then followed Tang Yue into the room.
Zhang Yu who realized his three comrades had left the front deck slowly took out the mission scroll and looked at it closely.
The name of the bandit they were about to face was a red hearted bandit. This plot has been around for six months. Initially they only had a few members, but the longer the members grew and their influence got out of hand.
"The estimation of their leaders is at the expert level, ...." Zhang Yu looked at the description at the bottom. It showed an approximate map of their strength.
Other than leaders who were at the level of five-star experts, there were over thirty members who were at the level of one to three-star experts.
"Hopefully this mission goes well."
