Upon hearing Qin Tian’s words, Xu Junwei also looked at Qin Tian.

”Long ago I reminded myself, just like what you said today.”

Xu Junwei seemed indifferent and said, ”Over the years, I’ve completed many tasks, dedicated myself to fulfilling the wishes of my idol, Long Jun. I’ve done many good things and also many bad things... heh, talking like a human before people, and talking like a ghost before ghosts. Sometimes, I don’t even know if I’m dead or alive.”

”I’ve killed innocent people, slept with strangers to achieve my goals, married strangers... over the years, I’ve hurt many friends and women... all along, what sustained me was my ultimate dream. As long as the dream is alive, I am alive, unafraid of death.”

It was rare for Xu Junwei to express such sentiments in front of Qin Tian, making Qin Tian somewhat contemplative.

After hearing Xu Junwei’s words, only now does Qin Tian have a better understanding of Xu Junwei.

To put it plainly, Teacher Xu is a devout fan and follower of Long Jun. After Long Jun’s death, he wanted to restore Long Jun’s glory, dedicating his entire life to it. Damn, that’s truly noble!

Gradually, Qin Tian came to genuinely admire Xu Junwei.

”Ant, I think this alias of yours is antonyms. I feel that Long Yin placing you in East Capital rather than Imperial City is really undervaluing you,” Qin Tian commented.

”No matter, as long as the heart has a dream, anywhere is just the same.”

Xu Junwei looked out the window and smiled softly, as if everything was calm and gentle.

He was silent for a moment and said, ”The Divine Sword is preparing to meet Tie Shi; I’m planning to assist him. Are you going, too?”

”Hehe, I won’t go. I’ll wait for your news. I reckon once he successfully meets, White Fox’s identity will be confirmed as well. I won’t join the commotion. The smug look on Divine Sword, I can’t stand it. Better off staying at home catching up on sleep,” Qin Tian said.

In the following days, Divine Sword observed Tie Shi and Wang Yushan’s daily routes, seemingly preparing to meet Tie Shi at any moment.

Initially, Xu Junwei intended to accompany, but Divine Sword likely feared Xu Junwei would steal the credit, unexpectedly refusing to let Xu Junwei get involved at all.

Having no choice, Xu Junwei couldn’t touch Tie Shi, just like Qin Tian waiting for Divine Sword’s news.

However, the next two days, according to Qin Tian’s estimates, Divine Sword should have met Tie Shi already, yet Qin Tian and Xu Junwei hadn’t heard any news at all.

Not even a shadow of Divine Sword had been seen.

After meeting at Ming Yue’s teahouse, they both returned home.

Qin Tian found it odd, thinking, could it be that Divine Sword had been taken by Tie Shi to find White Fox?

”Old Zhao, has anything happened lately?”

Not having been to the barracks in a few days, the moment Qin Tian returned, he asked Zhao Lanjin.

”Nothing on our side, but seems there’s a major incident on the logistics army side,” Zhao Lanjin said.

”Logistics army? What happened?”

”Heard that a commander in the logistics army is Long Yin, captured by City Guard Army and Soul Suppressing Hall together,” Zhao Lanjin said.

”Do you know the name?”

”It’s that very literate Wang Yushan... hiss! Boss, where are you going?!”

Zhao Lanjin hadn’t finished speaking when he saw Qin Tian turn around and dash out of the barracks!

At this moment, Qin Tian was sprinting out at top speed.

The place he rushed towards was none other than East Han Academy!

That’s where Xu Junwei resided!

Gale Illusion rapidly dashed, and within moments, Qin Tian entered East Han Academy, heading directly to Xu Junwei’s residence.

Xu Junwei’s dwelling at East Han Academy was very simple. When Qin Tian first joined East Han Academy for study, he knew Xu Junwei lived there and had visited a few times afterwards.

With a mix of nervousness and concern, he rushed towards the teacher’s residential area of East Han Academy.

But before reaching Xu Junwei’s courtyard, he saw from a distance two people guarding the entrance which was evidently Martial Artist attire!

”Soul Suppressing Hall...”

Seeing the demeanor of the two people, Qin Tian’s heart sank. The worst fear had come true!

Soul Suppressing Hall found Xu Junwei’s home, and given their policy of ”rather kill a thousand wrongly than let one escape,” Xu Junwei was in grave danger!

”Divine Sword! You son of a bitch! Damn bastard!”

Angry, Qin Tian clenched his fists, afraid that his furious aura might get noticed by the distant Soul Suppressing Hall. Quickly, he backed away and hid far off.

In his heart, he cursed Divine Sword’s useless coward into oblivion!

After hearing from Zhao Lanjin about Wang Yushan’s capture, Qin Tian instantly guessed the probability of Divine Sword and Wang Yushan meeting, and getting found out by the vigilant Soul Suppressing Hall!

If that’s the case, not only was Tie Shi Wang Yushan captured, but even Divine Sword was caught!

And Divine Sword knew Xu Junwei and most likely knew Xu Junwei was a teacher at East Han Academy!

Thus, Qin Tian first speculated that if Divine Sword was tortured after capture, he’d betray Xu Junwei!

Originally thinking even if Divine Sword was caught, he might hold out for two or three days, giving Qin Tian time to inform Xu Junwei and allowing Xu Junwei to hide.

But unexpectedly, once caught, Divine Sword directly betrayed, and sold Xu Junwei out!

Pure scum!

Qin Tian gritted his teeth in rage. Right then, he saw Xu Junwei being escorted out by two Soul Suppressing Hall members from the rundown courtyard. Each controlled an arm of Xu Junwei. His body bore bloody marks; he looked a bit disheveled, indicating a prior struggle inside the courtyard.

”No, I have to save him. Such a fearless elder, who cared for me greatly, I must get him out. Even if it means death, I can’t let him die at the hands he despises most!”

Resolved, Qin Tian simultaneously counted himself lucky that Divine Sword didn’t know his appearance or identity. Otherwise, Qin Tian might also have been caught by Soul Suppressing Hall!

”What link failed and led to exposure?”

As Xu Junwei was taken away, Qin Tian pondered deeply.

Could Divine Sword have been targeted by Soul Suppressing Hall from the start?

This possibility was minimal; otherwise, having met Divine Sword before, neither Qin Tian nor Xu Junwei would be so safe and unnoticed by Soul Suppressing Hall now.

”Then possibly, only Wang Yushan was already targeted by Soul Suppressing Hall. That’s the only explanation! I had a bad omen about this – just unlucky!”

Walking back, Qin Tian felt a sense of loss and heaviness in his heart.
