Chapter 1282: Chapter 1281: Beyond Redemption

Haha, aren’t you flattering me? I’m over forty already.” The man said with a smile, which might have been the most genuine smile he showed since Jiang Cheng entered, thought Jiang Cheng.

But you all are really bighearted, huh. Speaking of which, considering what Li Bin did to you, you might also blame our Wula Sect. I feel bad about it too, but I didn’t expect you to participate in our examination. It’s truly a delight.” The man said.

Although speaking regretful words, Jiang Cheng didn’t see any trace of guilt in him.

We’ve admired Wula Sect for a long time, of course, we understand right from wrong,” Jiang Cheng said.

”That’s good, that’s good. Li Bin, I’ll deal with him today, and then report to the Master Venerable. You may not know, but right now, most things in the sect are handled by me first, since the Master Venerable is in seclusion lately.” The man said.

”Vice Master Venerable, you are impartial and treat everyone equally, I’m glad,” Jiang Cheng said.

”Not at all, it’s what I should do,” the man said.

Jiang Cheng looked at the person before him who kept being insincere, now that everything that needed to be said was said, ”Then we should be leaving, sorry to bother the Vice Master Venerable.”

Sorry,” Jiang Cheng said as he stood up.

”Not at all.” The man watched Jiang Cheng stand up.

”Then we shall leave now, see you next time if there’s a chance to visit again.” Jiang Cheng said.

”Hmm, alright,” the man said with a smile.

Jiang Cheng and the others all got up to leave. ”Someone,” the man in the room shouted.

”Clean the floor of the guest hall thoroughly.” After he spoke, the man’s face turned gloomy. The summoned Wula Sect disciple cautiously looked after the floor.

Jiang Cheng exited the building and felt the air outside was much better.

”Jiang Cheng, why did things go so smoothly? It feels abnormal,” Qi Rongfeng said with a frown.

”I feel like, even though he looks gloomy, he insists on smiling, it’s truly creepy,” Cloud shook as she expressed her discomfort.

”He definitely won’t let it go,” Jiang Cheng said, thinking about how the man’s words constantly hinted that he was the real leader of the Wula Sect, though it sounded unthreatening, it still warned him.

”Seems the waters of this Wula Sect are quite deep,” Zhao Shuai said.

The group kept walking forward, when suddenly, a person appeared at the bend ahead. Jiang Cheng took a clear look, it was the man in the robe.

”Huh? That Guardian? What should we do, Jiang Cheng?” Zhao Shuai looked at the Guardian, recalling what he did today, and felt inexplicably nervous.

Jiang Cheng noticed the man in the robe seemed to have spotted them, ”It’s fine, relax, he’s already seen us,” Jiang Cheng said.

Jiang Cheng and the others walked nonchalantly, and after a few steps, bumped into the man in the robe ahead, ”Oh? You guys?” The man in the robe pointed at Jiang Cheng and the others, unable to say who they were, just staring at them.

”Oh, you are the ones who made it to the second trial, right?” The man in the robe said.

”Yes,” Jiang Cheng responded, while contemplating what excuse to use later. ”No wonder I picked you, they’re quite good-looking, haha,” the man in the robe said, laughing.

”You all must keep it up, hope to see you finally join,” the man in the robe said, producing a flower from his hand.

Jiang Cheng watched, feeling a bit confused, wondering why he didn’t ask why they came? But recalling their first meeting, he was like this too, somewhat amusing.

”Here, keep it up.” The man in the robe passed the flower to Cloud. He said, smiling.

Cloud took the flower blankly, her face blushing for quite a while.

The man in the robe walked away, smiling.

”That guy is better at charming girls than I am, quite bewitching looking,” Zhao Shuai said, watching the man in the robe leave.

”Why didn’t he ask us?” Qi Rongfeng said, ”It really is weird,” Jiang Cheng and the others continued forward and soon saw the boy bullied by Li Bin. He sat on the side of a flower bed, as if waiting for someone.

”Isn’t that the boy? Did he get bullied again?” Zhao Shuai pointed towards the boy.

Unexpectedly, the boy saw Jiang Cheng and the others coming over and ran towards them. He came to Jiang Cheng, panting heavily, ”You... you came out, huh. Are you okay?” The boy ran a few steps, sweat trickling from his fair face.

”Eh? You, a guy, looking as delicate as a girl, so thin and weak,” Zhao Shuai said, patting the boy’s shoulder.

Without saying anything, Jiang Cheng realized the boy before him indeed seemed prettier than a girl. He seemed excessively frail. He unconsciously glanced at the boy’s neck, which was beautifully slender, and had an Adam’s apple.

Jiang Cheng considered himself stunned, wondering why he felt the boy seemed like a girl.

”I’m just a bit constitutionally weak,” the boy said, softly.

”Even your voice, like a girl’s,” Zhao Shuai said.

”Enough, Zhao Shuai,” Jiang Cheng remarked. Looking at the boy, ”Do you have something you need?”

”I just wanted to thank you all,” the boy said, looking at Jiang Cheng.

”Oh, it’s nothing, as I’ve said, it has nothing to do with you, and you already repaid the favor just now, no need to feel awkward,” Cloud said with a smile.

”Still, I’m really thankful to you all,” the boy said.

Jiang Cheng recalled the Wula Sect’s disciple examination, which should be very strict by all counts. But how did they accept such a frail disciple? He seemed overly weak. Unless he had some other special skill... The boy seemed to feel a gaze upon him and immediately shrank back, not raising his head again.

Jiang Cheng thought he must be overthinking it. ”By the way, how old are you that you’re so short?” Zhao Shuai asked.

”I’m nineteen,” the boy said slowly.

”Nineteen, huh, you seem really young. Eat more good things, now that Li Bin is gone, no one’s exploiting you,” Zhao Shuai said.

”Eh? Gone? Captain Li... did he die, die?” The boy seemed scared, his body trembling as he slowly looked at Zhao Shuai.

Zhao Shuai looked at the boy before him, as if mentioning the dead would make him cry, not knowing what to say instantly.

”We don’t know yet, but he won’t bully you anymore,” Jiang Cheng said in the gentlest tone possible.

The boy finally breathed a sigh of relief, ”True, Captain Li didn’t do anything too evil, either.”

The rest left unsure what to say.

”Then we’ll be leaving.” Jiang Cheng said.

”Alright, goodbye,” the boy said with a smile.

”So straightforward? Jiang Cheng chuckled, thinking the boy would keep thanking endlessly again.

”I really feel that when he smiles, my heart melts. He’s really good-looking,” Zhao Shuai said.

Cloud looked at Zhao Shuai disdainfully, ”Swing both ways now?”

”What? I’m a pure straight guy, okay,” Zhao Shuai glared at Cloud. ”Let’s head back,” Jiang Cheng said. Finally, it’s all settled.

”But isn’t the Master Venerable of Wula Sect having some trouble, being in seclusion all the time?” Zhao Shuai asked.

”That’s unclear for now, a few days later isn’t there the personal selection? We’ll surely see him by then,” Qi Rongfeng said.

”Though, listening to the Vice Master Venerable’s words, seems the Master Venerable is quite young?” Zhao Shuai mentioned. ”Vice Master Venerable, even the name makes me laugh for a year.”
