The Lord of the Gods of the Universe
Ch. 48 - Travel

In the morning of the next day Li Yuwen and Yao Jun who were already prepared with all their preparations, both of them started walking towards the sect gate which there was already a collection of male disciples prepared by Xiang Yong.

Xiang Yong himself was already standing there waiting for the arrival of Li Yuwen and Yao Jun along with Tang Lian and General Liong.

On arrival Yao Jun and Li Yuwen saluted Xiang Yong and greeted General Liong as well as Tang Lian.

“Patriak, how many students did you collect?” Yao Jun glanced at the group of disciples that were marching, and surely they were staring at Tang Lian.

Xiang Yong then explained that he gathered a total of 100 core and senior disciples, respectively, 75 Of them were senior students who had an average grade-1 king level and the remaining 25 were core disciples who had an average grade-2 king level.

“25 core disciples? Isn't that close to half the total core disciples we have? Is that okay patriarch?”

“Most of them volunteered themselves to help while I was gathering disciples.” Xiang Yong exhaled.

It didn't take long for Yao Jun to find out the reason they were willing to apply to help him on the mission, It was known that it was only enough to see all eyes looking towards Tang Lian.

‘Hopefully they are not disappointed with the reality they will know in a moment.’ Yao Jun shook his head

“Yuwen!” Tang Lian walked over to Li Yuwen who was standing close to the gate.

‘Yuwen!’ the inner all the disciples who were marching listened to Tang Lian's words.

“What's Lian's daughter?” li Yuwen replied which instantly made Tang Lian's face look pouting, and upon realizing the mistake he had just made Li Yuwen straightened it out immediately.

“Ah sorry ... I mean what's Lian?” Li Yuwen coughed softly before straightening it out.

‘Lian!’ Every disciple there shouted inwardly at the same time hearing Li Yuwen call out Tang Lian's first name.

”Sial .. I know Li Yuwen's good looks are inhumane, but why this fast?!” One of the disciples spoke slowly but could be listened to by all the other disciples.

Tang Lian then put on a smile towards Li Yuwen as her name was properly summoned, and unbeknownst to her the smile she displayed made some disciples drip her eyes.

“That smile!”

“I ... I .. thank you for being born!”

“We have to protect that smile, that beautiful smile!”

All the disciples then cheered as hard as they could, to the point of making General Liong amazed when what was going on was a misunderstanding.

“Murid-disciples of the Lightning Sword Sect are really excited in fighting evil, they have even shouted like a knight before they started fighting!” General Liong praised while laughing loudly looking at him.

“They have never been smoldering like this when carrying out missions given by sects, what happened?” Xiang Yong looked at them in confusion

Tang Lian who was already standing in front of Li Yuwen then took something from inside her pocket and gave it to Li Yuwen, who was not there, the item was a jade bead as big as a thumb that was quite beautiful with carvings surrounding it all over its surface also slightly giving off light to the forage.

“What is Lian?” Along with Li Yuwen's question, all the eyes there looked at the jade bead he was holding.

Tang Lian explained to Li Yuwen that what she gave him was a lucky bead that had been passed down for generations from 10,000 years ago.

Li Yuwen who already knew what bead he was holding then handed it back to Tang Lian.

“A thing as valuable as this is impossible for me to carry it...” Li Yuwen thrust out the jade bead that was in his hand.

But Tang Lian did not take it back and instead pushed Li Yuwen's hand slowly.

“It's okay, it's to help you guys get lucky while running the mission later..”.

While saying that Tang Lian's heart was beating fast because it touched Li Yuwen's hand, while on the other hand the listening students began to process Tang Lian's words just now.

“Later?”

“What does that mean...”.

“Princess ... princess will not come with us?”

Xiang Yong who listened to the muttering of the sect disciples then exhaled his breath knowing the reason they volunteered to help Yao Jun in carrying out the mission was, because they thought Tang Lian would also be on the way and help the mission along with the others.

In the midst of the disappointment, General Liong opened his voice.

“Pardon us for not helping, because yesterday the princess was just attacked by a cultivator from the Mountain Organization of 7 Sins ... so to avoid similar things I decided not to participate in the mission so that the safety of the princess is not threatened.”

They were also surprised by what General Liong said just now, it was quite difficult to believe the tight guard in the sect but could still be infiltrated by people from the black stream easily. But amidst that disbelief they were also grateful that Tang Lian was fine, and inwardly they were grateful to Li Yuwen.

‘Why are they all looking at me with a smile?’ Li Yuwen found himself being looked at by many pairs of eyes.

Tang Lian who saw Li Yuwen had not also kept the bead she gave then re-opened her voice.

“If you don't want to keep it, just take it until your mission is complete .. then after that just return the bead to me, but you should hand it to me yourself.”

Li Yuwen was finally only able to accept the decision because it could be seen from Tang Lian's face that she was serious about what she said and would not listen to the rejection from Li Yuwen.

Then Tang Lian's face was seen smiling back when she saw Li Yuwen store the jade bead she had placed into her pocket, and once again the disciples who lined up not far from the two of them returned smiling haru as well as happy to see the smile displayed by Tang Lian.

“Alright, so as not to linger here again and get there as soon as possible, let's start this journey.” Yao Jun looked towards the group of disciples that were in front of him.

“Be careful Jun’er!”

“Be careful Yuwen!”

The two people in question and the group of disciples also began the journey of the imperial mission.
