THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
156: Young Brother, Mission Failed
Jiang Hao visited all the nearby cities, starting with Fallen City. He even asked nearby villages. Logically, her stepmother and her father should be in one of those places. However, he found nothing.
He thought that he could meet them and solve everything for good. He just wanted a chance to say goodbye. When he was sold for five, the only thing he felt was fear and hatred. He hasn't even said goodbye to them.
It had been seventeen years since the last time he had seen them.
Jiang Hao did not want to think of the worst possible.
They may have gone to a town further away. It's not impossible. Things can change in seventeen years!
It also meant that Jiang Hao might never meet them again after he returned to his sect. He could not get out of the sect for several years, or even a decade.
At that time, they might die.
Suddenly, Hong Yuye's voice sounded in his ear.
“When you find something as an undercover agent, you'd better prepare to exit.”
Jiang Hao was a little surprised. He's nodding.
“If you slack off, there will be consequences.” Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao coldly.
“I understand,” said Jiang Hao.
"Let's go." Hong Yuye took a step forward. One step traveled a few miles in an instant.
Jiang Hao turned around and looked at the city that was about to disappear from his sight. He put away his mind.
'Let's go back…'
In the Heavenly City, Chu Chuan practiced his cultivation in the backyard.
His talent was average, so he needed to spend more time cultivating. It has been more than two months, and he still hasn't made any significant progress.
During that time, he learned some new things, such as a hundred-day allowance.
As long as one had talent, they could join the sect after a hundred days
cultivating because it was sufficient time to set up one's foundation.
However, it had already been two months, and he was still trying to gather spiritual energy into his body. It seemed that it would take a long time for him to be able to circulate spiritual energy to cultivate.
Eve Chen Quan shook his head in defeat.
Chu Chuan was worried. What if the Heavenly Note Sect does not accept it?
He had heard that the Heavenly Note Sect was one of the most powerful sects nearby. It was also a demonic sect.
He had heard of it from Senior Chen Quan. He was scared, but he didn't show it.
Chu Chuan had even prepared a fake name in the event of an emergency. He didn't know if they knew his real name or not. He doesn't care anymore.
“You are still cultivating, young friend?” Chen Quan came in.
“Senior Chen,” Chu Chuan greeted him respectfully.
“Is Senior Jiang not back yet?” Chen Quan asked curiously.
Chu Chuan shook his head. Many people asked him the same question. He understood why they were asking him that, but he did not dare to think about it. He did not want to accept the notion that Jiang Hao might have abandoned him.
If that was true, he needed to find a way to survive. That was one of the reasons why he made a fake name for himself.
“Senior Jiang must have been delayed because of something,” Chen Quan said with a reassuring smile.
Even if Jiang Hao needed a year to return, he would have to look after the child.
God forbid if Jiang Hao arrived late and did not see the boy where he left him…
Chu Chuan was about to reply, but suddenly felt dizzy and fainted.
Chen Quan was startled and was about to help the child when Jiang Hao descended from the sky. He lifted Chu Chuan into his arms and flew away.
“Thank you, Senior Chen, for taking care of him. Spirit potion in the backyard is a gift for you.”
Before Chen Quan could reply, Jiang Hao disappeared from sight.
Jiang Hao returned to the Heavenly Note Sect. Hong Yuye accompanied him to the sect and then disappeared without a trace.
Looking at the sect he was familiar with, Jiang Hao heaved a sigh of relief. After more than two months, he finally returned.
There are still a few days left.
Chu Chuan woke up. As he looked at Jiang Hao, he was shocked. "Who are you?!"
Jiang Hao was puzzled for a while, but he realized what had happened. Hong Yuye's power has been lost.
Jiang Hao did not answer his question. “I'll guide you to the sect. This will be your home. Don't tell anyone about how you entered the sect. Just tell them that I brought you here. Don't tell anyone about the Bright Moon Sect and your relationship with them.”
Although there should be no problem whatsoever with it, it is better to keep a low profile. This risk is worth taking. The help provided by the Bright Moon Sect will definitely be useful in the future.
Moreover, no one outside saw her true appearance, so she was unrecognizable.
“You Senior Jiang?” Chu Chuan found it hard to believe him.
'How did I get here? I was in the backyard…'
“My name is Jiang Hao. You can call me Senior Brother Jiang,” said Jiang Hao. “Now, follow me. I'll walk you in. Remember, observe more around you and talk less. It might make you live longer.”
Jiang Hao took the child to the Law Enforcement Hall. He went there to report on the fulfillment of his mission.
“Jumor Brotner Jlang, Isn't this a deviation mg”' The person at the counter looked at Jiang Hao helplessly. “The person we want is a little girl named Chu Jie and you brought her back..'
“I can't get Chu Jie, but she grew up with him. They are related, more or less..” “Young Brother Jiang, this is a failed mission,” said the person at the counter.
Jiang Hao sighed inwardly.
“When do you plan to pay spirit stones as a fine for failure?”
Jiang Hao did not say much and handed over a thousand spirit stones. “I can pay back the rest in about three months.”
“Alright,” says big sister on the counter. "Here. You can save this receipt.”
“Senior sister, do you want me to arrange something for this junior?” Jiang Hao asked.
Although Chu Chuan did not understand what was going on, he thought it best to be quiet.
“I'm sure you can think of something, Young Brother Jiang.”
Jiang Hao nodded. "Thank you."
Jiang Hao left the Law Enforcement Hall with Chu Chuan and headed to the Cliff of a Broken Heart. He asked someone to get the necessary materials for the new disciple.
He then went to find his master. He told his master about his return as well as the situation regarding Chu Chuan.
If his master punished him by assigning him to a mine, it was only a bonus.
However, his master only nodded quickly and said nothing more.
Jiang Hao was used to the silence of his master.
Jiang Hao turned to Chu Chuan and told him that if he needed help, he could find him in the Spirit Herb Garden. After which, Jiang Hao returned to his home..
