Chapter 213: Chapter 118: Divine True Origin
What a brilliant idea!
The Great Elder said with a broad smile, "Fang Xing should be heading to Jiang Province City. We’ll just release some key information, and then we’ll naturally get to see a big show."
"Great Elder, how are you so sure he’ll go to Jiang Province City?"
An Elder asked.
"I’ve deduced it from his route. Just wait and see," the Great Elder said.
"Great Elder, you truly are... deeply calculating!"
"..."
"Let’s proceed with the Great Elder’s plan. Pass down the order: mobilize the full power of the Divine Martial Sect and release the news about him," the Sect Leader Venerable commanded.
"Yes!"
The Elders all nodded in unison, then rose and left the grand hall.
—
’Jiang Province City... I’m back again.’
Outside Jiang Province City, Fang Xing’s eyes glinted as he gazed at the tall city walls.
Over the course of three days, besides traveling, he had also been diligently absorbing the Divine True Source Power within his body.
His Power had grown even more profound, and his Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt had completely reached the Tenth Layer Extreme.
Looking out at Jiang Province City, the memory of his first visit surfaced in Fang Xing’s mind.
In just over a year, everything had changed completely.
When he first arrived with Shen Ye, he had thought he would remain in Jiang Province City indefinitely.
But plans could never keep up with changes. Now, he was about to be formally transferred away. After this trip back, he had no idea when he would return next.
’I’ll go check out the Observatory first.’
Calming himself, Fang Xing followed the flow of people into Jiang Province City.
After entering the city, Fang Xing stabled his Spiritual Steed at a Post Station and then headed toward the Observatory.
—
In a room at an inn within Jiang Province City, a youth dressed in white as pure as snow sat cross-legged.
Suddenly, a knock came at the door, and the white-robed youth slowly opened his eyes.
"Come in!"
The words had barely left his lips when the door was pushed open, and a skinny, weasel-faced youth walked into the room.
"My lord, we have news about the person you told us to watch," the skinny youth said respectfully.
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, the white-robed youth’s eyes lit up. He immediately stood and said, "Speak!"
"He has already entered the city and is heading for the Observatory," the skinny youth replied.
"Headed for the Observatory..."
The white-robed youth frowned. After a moment of thought, he looked at the skinny youth and said, "Alright, I understand. You may go."
The skinny youth nodded and turned to leave the room.
Watching his retreating back, the white-robed youth was lost in thought for a moment.
’Better to wait outside.’
The thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately left the room.
...
At the entrance to the Observatory, Fang Xing walked in, feeling a little nervous.
"Huh? Fang Xing, is that you?"
Just as he stepped into the Observatory, a voice called out. Fang Xing looked over and saw a familiar figure.
Baili Yanran!
"It really is you!" Seeing Fang Xing’s face, Baili Yanran was delighted and quickly hurried over.
"Miss Yanran, long time no see," Fang Xing greeted with a smile.
Baili Yanran looked at him and blinked. "I heard you’re being transferred. Is that true?"
At her words, Fang Xing’s expression faltered for a moment, but he nodded. "Yes, the transfer is happening soon. I just came back to take one last look."
"Sigh, that’s a shame. It’ll be hard for us to do missions together in the future," Baili Yanran said, a look of disappointment on her face.
Fang Xing smiled. "Even though I’m transferring, if you ever need anything in the future, you can come to the Cang Province Observatory. I’ll be sure to give you a warm welcome."
Baili Yanran pouted. "Cang Province? It’s so far away, and there are so many Demons and Ghosts. With my level of strength, I’d just be asking for trouble."
Fang Xing: "..."
"But I’ll remember what you said. If I’m in trouble in the future, you better not refuse to help. We’re old acquaintances, after all," Baili Yanran said, looking at him with a grin.
Fang Xing nodded lightly. "Of course. If you need help, I won’t hesitate."
"I heard you made it onto the Hidden Dragon List. That’s amazing! To get on the list with just a True Qi Realm Cultivation is extremely rare," Baili Yanran said, looking at him.
Fang Xing smiled faintly. "It’s just a Jianghu ranking. It’s nothing special."
Baili Yanran rolled her eyes. "Could you be a little more humble? This is the Hidden Dragon List! So many prodigies wish they could get on it but don’t even qualify."
"Maybe I won’t be on the Hidden Dragon List next time," Fang Xing said with a calm expression.
"As if," Baili Yanran pouted.
"..."
After chatting with Baili Yanran for a while, Fang Xing left.
Soon, he found himself standing before his former residence once again.
Before he could even enter, several figures appeared in the distance.
It was Feng Xiu and a few other Official Captains.
"Lord Fang?"
Seeing Fang Xing, Feng Xiu and the others looked shocked. They immediately hurried over to him.
"My lord, when did you get back?" Feng Xiu asked, looking at him in disbelief.
Fang Xing glanced at them and smiled. "Just now."
"My lord, are you being transferred this time? I heard Lord Shen mention it," Feng Xiu asked.
Fang Xing nodded. "Yes. Orders from above. I have to obey."
Hearing this, the men’s faces fell.
Fang Xing patted his shoulder. "It’s not a big deal. We’ll have plenty of chances to see each other in the future."
"With you leaving, my lord, I’m afraid we won’t be able to maintain our rankings anymore," one Captain sighed.
Fang Xing smiled. "Just focus on improving step by step. You’ll achieve even better results in the future."
The men nodded, but they still looked dejected.
Fang Xing chatted with them for a little while longer before leaving. Soon, he arrived at the Marshal’s Mansion.
He had contacted Nangong Qing when he entered Jiang Province City. Arriving at the entrance of the Marshal’s Mansion, Fang Xing knocked on the door.
Soon, a Steward from the Marshal’s Mansion led him inside.
...
Inside the main hall of the Marshal’s Mansion, Nangong Qing couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of a sullen Shen Ye. "You kid, why the long face? You look like your wife ran off with another man."
Shen Ye looked up at Nangong Qing and sighed. "Uncle Qing, is there really no way to keep Fang Xing here?"
Hearing this, Nangong Qing shook his head. "Don’t even think about it. Hong Miaojin has already claimed him. If I were to go back on my word now, she’d try to kill me."
"Besides, the situation in Cang Province is genuinely dangerous. There’s been movement on the Southern Border, and things will only get more perilous. By going there, Fang Xing can be of greater use."
"But... but I was the one who personally scouted him! How about you transfer me over there too?" Shen Ye said, looking at Nangong Qing.
At these words, Nangong Qing’s face instantly darkened. "You little brat, you think I don’t want to keep him? Transfer you too? Why don’t you just ask me to transfer the entire unit over?"
"Well, it’s not impossible. Cang Province is short-staffed, after all. The more the merrier," Shen Ye said with a straight face.
"Get out!!"
