Chapter 891: Senior Brother, Your Choice Is Too Ordinary

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Hao and Zheng Shijiu had known each other for a long time. They had known each other from when Jiang Hao was nineteen.

Back then, Senior Brother Zheng was in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Twenty years later, he had made it to the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. He was, in fact, at the brink of the middle stage.

At that time, Jiang Hao had been in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm too. He had made it to the middle stage of the Immortal Ascension Platform.

‘Unknowingly, I came this far…’ Jiang Hao felt like twenty years ago had been just yesterday.

“Twenty years ago, when we first met, you were only at the early stage of the

Foundation Establishment Realm. Now you’re already in the late stage of the Golden Core Realm! You’ve surpassed me by a lot,” said Zheng Shijiu. “At that time, I never expected that you’d progress this much.”

“I was just lucky,” Jiang Hao said modestly.

“This is not just luck, Junior Brother Jiang. I think you might have a chance of becoming a top disciple in the future. I wonder if we’ll still do tasks together tnen,” said zneng SIIIJILI.

“Senior Brother, you must be joking! Regardless, you are still my senior. I often find myself relying on your strength,” said Jiang Hao.

Even if he became a top disciple, he would still address Zheng Shijiu as

“Senior.”

If it made him uncomfortable, he wouldn’t do it. But he knew Zheng Shijiu would be okay with it. They had worked together so many times before.

It was the same with Miao Tinglian and Mu Qi. They treated him well and took care of him. So, he would always address them as “Seniors.”

In the Cliff of Broken Hearts, apart from Xiao Li, they were the closest to him.

He wasn’t sure if Miao Tinglian was nice to him because he had helped her before, or if she was naturally friendly.

Although he didn’t like it when she pestered him to find a partner, he hadn’t said anything to her.

“Lin MO, Zhao Qingxue, and Lin Zhi… we recruited them together back then. I never thought we would be doing missions together!” said Zheng Shijiu.

Jiang Hao nodded. Time really did fly by.

The young disciples who had just joined the sect back then had become so powerful.

“Perhaps one day, they will surpass us all,” Jiang Hao said.

“Haha,” Zheng Nineteen said bitterly, “Junior Brother Jiang, please don’t even joke about it. I feel like they won’t be able to surpass you.”

Jiang Hao did not say anything.

Zheng Shijiu truly believed that these three couldn’t surpass Jiang Hao. He also thought that Jiang Hao himself had secrets.

He had sensed something when they had worked together before.

However, he hadn’t paid much attention to it at that time.

Some things were better left unknown.

The three others arrived after a while.

Zheng Shijiu didn’t mind waiting. He knew Lin Zhi was here because of Jiang

Hao.

It was well-known that Jiang Hao had helped Lin Zhi immensely so that he could stay in the sect.

Otherwise, how would he still be in the sect despite not being able to advance from the Lifeblood Refinement Realm?

Moreover, he wouldn’t have been selected for sect missions.

Jiang Hao was concerned about Lin Mo.

Lin MO was a part of the Law Enforcement Hall. He definitely had some connections.

Even if Lin MO didn’t have a very high cultivation realm, he could still help Lin Zhi through his connections. However, it was quite dangerous for Lin Zhi.

Jiang Hao felt helpless. There was nothing he could do except help Lin Zhi become stronger in the coming months.

He also needed to find the time to give him some magical treasures. He hadn’t met him in so many months.

“Senior Brother Jiang?” Lin Zhi was surprised to see Jiang Hao. He felt embarrassed. He looked as though he wanted to explain himself.

Jiang Hao smiled and just nodded.

Lin MO and Zhao Qingxue greeted them without emotion. “We apologize for the wait, Seniors.”

Zheng Nineteen frowned. It seemed that these two had forgotten about him.

It seemed they lacked basic courtesy too.

In the sect, it wasn’t necessary to be influential, but it was important to make sure one didn’t offend others.

Sometimes, small matters could lead to huge resentment.

If they hadn’t recruited these three young people, it wouldn’t matter.

However, since Jiang Hao and Zheng Shijiu had been among the ones who recruited them, some form of recognition and politeness was expected.

They had made rapid progress and were strong. So, that might protect them. Zheng Shijiu didn’t say anything. He felt that Jiang Hao didn’t mind it either.

“Let’s go,” Jiang Hao said.

After that, the five flew on their swords.

Lin MO led Lin Zhi along.

Jiang Hao didn’t pay much attention to what they were planning. He would observe them first.

For outer sect patrols, there was a place where shifts had to be handed over to others.

It might just be time for the handover.

After a while, they arrived at the outpost.

It was located in the mountains and was surrounded by rocks.

In front of them, there was a stream.

There were some people there in groups of three and five.

It seemed like they were all waiting.

Jiang Hao walked into the innermost hut.

A man in the Primordial Spirit Realm looked at him. “Jiang Hao of the Cliff of

Broken Hearts?”

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“I saw your name at the Law Enforcement Hall. It’s quite surprising for you to be assigned to a patrol mission. Which route do you want?” he asked.

Jiang Hao was surprised.

The man laughed. “Surprised?”

“A bit.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“No need to be surprised. Perhaps the place you want to go to is the place we need to investigate more,” the middle-aged man said.

Jiang Hao understood. Jiang Hao was still a suspect. So, whichever route he chose would be monitored closely.

Jiang Hao chose the safest route.

The area was not small, but the location was great. It was a place unexposed to outside forces. There were no dangers around. The others there were also from the outer sect, so it should be relatively safe.

The most likely danger would be from spies. After all, many undercover agents had joined the sect and were most likely among the outer sect disciples.

“This area is mostly for the outer sect disciples to rest and cultivate…” The middle-aged man was surprised by Jiang Hao’s choice.

There wouldn’t be many dangers here, but there wouldn’t be any gains either.

The patrol missions were sometimes beneficial because some seniors occasionally gave lectures on cultivation.

Patrolling was safe and had benefits.

But Jiang Hao hadn’t chosen any of the good routes. He had chosen the one that was the most ordinary.

Lin MO frowned. “Senior Brother Jiang, can we patrol the public alchemy area of the Candlelight Pill Pavilion instead?”

There were always things happening at the alchemy area of the Candlelight Pill Pavilion. If one wanted to learn something from there, they had to pay a small price.

“This junior has a point.” The middle-aged man laughed. “How about going to the alchemy area of the Candlelight Pill Pavilion instead?”

Jiang Hao looked at Lin MO and shook his head. “Let’s start from here first.”

“Alright then…” The middle-aged man gave Jiang Hao a token. “It’s just the right time for the handover. The token has the patrol route. If anything happens, you can activate the token, and our people will come to find you.”

Jiang Hao nodded and thanked him. He then led the group away. Lin MO and

Zhao Qingxue seemed reluctant..
