Chapter 641: Praises

Lin Xuan Qi wanted to check on Lao Er and Ling Er to see how they were progressing so far.

But before he could start, the doors to the lab opened.

Lee He Song had finally come back.

It was perfect timing for him.

Now that the edict of the Governor had been stopped by the imperial court, the missing piece was the information about the cultivators from the north, to direct the focus of the imperial court to where it mattered.

"Master Lee, great to see you back." Lin Xuan Qi said and gestured at the tea pot to check if Lee He Song wanted a drink first before they got to serious business.

But Lee He Song shook his head and waved his hand at him.

Lee He Song took out a piece of paper from his shirt and handed it over to Lin Xuan Qi.

"This is all I got.

"I did my best with the short few moments I had.

"They’ve found us and we have to retreat as soon as possible."

"We?" Lin Xuan Qi asked when he heard the word ’we’ from Lee He Song.

Lee He Song chuckled and said, "I met Lao Er and Ling Er."

"How are they?" Lin Xuan Qi was glad that they had met each other, knowing that Lee He Song would try and take care of them.

"They weren’t doing too well when I saw them.

"Had to give one of my Recovery Pills to Lao Er who was injured." Lee He Song went on and briefed Lin Xuan Qi about what had happened.

Lin Xuan Qi took note of what Lee He Song said and reminded himself that maybe he had given Lao Er and Ling Er too little to survive in this chaotic environment.

Maybe he should gift some pills to them for such situations.

He would have to get more talismans, pills and Spirit Herbs for his ascension to Nascent Soul from Bian Jing again soon, and he might make use of the opportunity to do so.

When he glanced at the map of where the cultivators from the north were, his eyebrows pulled together into a deep frown.

There were more than he had expected.

He wasn’t sure how they got through but they had amassed and numbered to a thousand, which was already like a small army.

If the Gui Feng Governor couldn’t react in time and get the reinforcements he needed, the city might be overrun easily by them.

And that includes Lao Er and Ling Er who were in the city.

"You will let the Governor know about this soon?" Lee He Song asked while he poured himself a cup of tea.

Lin Xuan Qi thought about it and shook his head.

Qian Shi was coming to Hong Feng City soon, and it might be better to let him know instead of the Governor.

His trust with the Governor was gone, after the sudden change in the Governor’s behavior.

It was best for Lin Xuan Qi to be wary about him.

"I will wait for Qian Shi to let him know instead." Lin Xuan Qi said with a sigh. With the Governor who behaved like a misplaced soul now, he had one option less right now.

Lee He Song chuckled and replied, "I’m sure you know best."

"Thanks, Master Lee. You had a long journey, best for you to take a rest first." Lin Xuan Qi said and Lee He Song nodded his head at him.

Lin Xuan Qi kept the piece of paper in his storage device and he continued with what he had wanted to do in the first place.

...

In Gui Feng City, at the house that Lin Xuan Qi bought for Lao Er and Ling Er, the disciples from the South Lin Sword Sect were back inside.

Some of them had bandages and some who were luckier only had some bruises on them.

They had returned with whatever information they could gather.

"Lao Er and Ling Er... Are you there?" The low, coarse voice sounded from the incense urn in the house.

Lao Er and Ling Er, who were seated in a lotus position in front of it, quickly opened their eyes, turned around and bowed at it.

"We are here, Grand Ancestor Lin."

The other disciples also opened their eyes and glanced at the incense urn eagerly.

When they had heard Grand Ancestor Lin earlier telling them to go out and seek the cultivators from the north, they were doubtful about it.

But when they discovered pockets of them in hiding all around the areas of Gui Feng City, they were in awe at how Grand Ancestor Lin was able to know.

That increased their faith and confidence in the future of the South Lin Sword Sect.

Even when they were only able to crowd around in this small house at the moment.

But they were proud of what they did.

When the Governor of Gui Feng received Lao Er and Ling Er with the information they had gathered, a sense of pride filled their hearts.

They weren’t rogue cultivators anymore and were part of the righteous sects.

"How did it go and have you sought audience with the Governor?" The low, coarse voice asked.

"Some of us got injured but it’s nothing we couldn’t recover from.

"I’ve met the Governor with Ling Er earlier and he said that he will look into it to confirm what we’ve given him is in fact true." Lao Er stepped forward and briefed Lin Xuan Qi on what had happened.

"I’m glad to hear that all of you are back alive.

"To be frank, out of all my disciples, I see the most potential among all of you in the South Lin Sword Sect." The low, coarse voice said and all of them inside the main hall felt a sense of accomplishment from the praise of Grand Ancestor Lin.

Lin Xuan Qi couldn’t give them any rewards for what they had done for him at the moment, so he figured a little praise like what his boss who wanted to entice him to work overtime would do.

And it worked even more than he had expected.

"But for the time being..."
