Chapter 33: Elder Wen’s commission
It didn’t take long.
“Brother Jiang Heng!”
A crisp sound came from inside the door.
The door creaked open, and Wen Qingxue ran out excitedly like a lively elf.
Jiang Hengwen smiled:
"Didn't you say before that Uncle Wen asked me to come over when I have time? I have been practicing in seclusion for so long, and now I have time to visit."
The two of them walked side by side toward the courtyard.
“My father is waiting for you in the living room, I will take you there!”
Wen Qingxue started chirping again while leading the way.
“During the time you were in seclusion, my cultivation level has also made a lot of breakthroughs. I am now a warrior at the sixth level of the physical realm.”
“I am also a peerless genius!”
Wen Qingxue raised her face playfully, as if waiting for Jiang Heng's compliment.
“Sixth level?”
Jiang Heng was shocked.
Just over three months have passed since Wen Qingxue became a warrior in the physical realm, and her cultivation level has jumped from the first level to the sixth level.
Such a terrifying cultivation speed, if you don’t have a system, you wouldn’t even dare to imagine it.
At this rate, Wen Qingxue may be able to break through to the True Qi realm before she is 14 years old.
“That’s amazing! Qingxue is the real unparalleled talent!”
Jiang Heng praised sincerely.
The two of them chatted and soon came to the living room.
“Dad, Jiang Heng is here!”
Wen Qingxue pushed the door open and walked in, followed closely by Jiang Heng.
An elegant middle-aged man in black sat at the head of the table with a gentle expression.
“Uncle Wen!”
Jiang Heng bowed slightly.
“Nephew Jiang, no need to be polite, just sit down!”
Elder Wen smiled and nodded, then looked at Wen Qingxue.
“Qingxue, you go down first.”
Wen Qingxue immediately pouted and said dissatisfiedly:
"I don't!"
She pulled Jiang Heng and sat down side by side. Her legs under her skirt kept swinging and she looked away deliberately.
Elder Wen shook his head helplessly, ignored her altogether, and looked at Jiang Heng with a smile.
“I heard before that you won the championship of the outer sect competition, but I haven’t had time to congratulate you yet.”
"Uncle Wen is too polite. It's just a small honor from an outer sect, not worth mentioning."
Jiang Heng’s smile was indifferent and distant, and he was chatting with Elder Wen.
Not long after, Jiang Heng took the initiative and said:
“If it weren’t for Uncle Jiang’s help, I might not have had the chance to enter the sect. Every time I think about it, I always feel extremely grateful and want to repay something.”
"But with Uncle Wen's status, I'm afraid he won't look down on ordinary things, so if Uncle Wen has any requests, please feel free to ask. I will do my best to complete it. It can be regarded as a small reward."
The smile on Elder Wen's face faltered slightly.
He could naturally see what Jiang Heng meant by being distant.
Repaying a favor means not owing each other anything, which is almost equivalent to not wanting to have in-depth exchanges.
However, after all, he is a high-level figure in Daluo Sect, and his mind and thinking are far beyond ordinary people.
The gentle smile returned to his face.
“Nephew Jiang Xian is too polite. It’s just a trivial matter, so why bother.”
"However, if you really feel that you owe something, then do me a small favor."
"Our sect has a mine outside Chuanjiang City, which is under my jurisdiction. Yesterday, news came back that a transport convoy under the mine's name was hijacked by unknown persons, and even the three sect disciples stationed there were killed. "
“One of them is an inner disciple at the third level of the True Qi Realm.”
"I'm thinking about arranging someone to go there. If you are interested, please help me."
“Even if we are not found out in the end, we can just sit there for a month.”
“Are you sure?”
Jiang Heng nodded decisively: "No problem! I don't know when to set off?"
For him, it is best to repay the favor as soon as possible.
What's more, he has never seen the scene outside the sect. All his current understanding of the outside world is based on the memory of young Jiang Heng.
Just going out to see some things.
Just as Elder Wen was about to speak, Wen Qingxue shouted happily.
“Dad, I want to go too!”
Elder Wen’s face was stern and he shouted softly:
“Nephew Jiang Xian is going to do business, why are you following him?”
Wen Qingxue sat on the chair and twisted her body, looking like she was playing tricks.
“No! I’m going!”
“I haven’t been out for a long time. I stayed in the sect all day with no one to talk to. Dad, you have been practicing all day, brother Jiang Heng has been practicing all day, and no one is with me!”
Wen Qingxue said aggrievedly, pretending to cry.
Elder Ke Wen showed no mercy, still kept a straight face and scolded in a deep voice:
"If you keep acting up and rolling around, I'll put you in solitary confinement!"
Wen Qingxue stopped crying immediately, snorted, turned her head to look outside the room, but said no more.
Elder Wen's face returned to gentleness, and he looked at Jiang Heng again:
“Nephew Jiang Xian is laughing.”
“The robbers don’t know if they will attack again, so you have to rush there as soon as possible, preferably within two days.”
“I will hand over the mission file to you when you are ready. In addition, I will arrange for someone to go to the mine with you. At that time, you will be in charge of all actions.”
Jiang Heng pondered for a moment and said:
“Okay! Then I’ll get ready and set off tomorrow!”
The two continued to chat for a while, and then Jiang Heng took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.
Wen Qingxue, who was looking outside the room the whole time, snorted angrily and followed Jiang Heng out of the hall, keeping a straight face and sulking all the way.
Jiang Heng couldn’t help but laugh and said:
“Qingxue, you are still young and weak, so of course your father is worried.”
“Practice as quickly as possible. When you reach the True Qi realm, your father will definitely not restrict you like that.”
Wen Qingxue's complexion improved slightly.
"My father never cares about my feelings. When I become stronger in the future, I will lock him up and not let him go out!"
“You always tell me it’s dangerous outside, what danger can there be?”
“Even if there is real danger, with Brother Jiang Heng’s strength, he will definitely be able to protect me, right?”
Jiang Heng nodded seriously:
“Yes, even if there is real danger, I will definitely protect you.”
When he first started working as a handyman, he was bullied and had no friends.
At that time, only Wen Qingxue, a childhood playmate, often came to accompany him and even sometimes protected him.
So, in the heart of young Jiang Heng, Wen Qingxue can be said to be the only person he cherishes in the world.
And this feeling, with the fusion of souls, was also integrated into the new Jiang Heng's heart.
…
After leaving the elders’ residential area, Jiang Heng came to the trading hall.
As you are going on a mission for a month, you naturally need to purchase various supplies for use during the period.
Whether it is cultivation materials or silver coins, they are all essential.
Jiang Heng, who has more than 10,000 contribution points to his name and is wealthy, directly purchased 500 Qi and Blood Pills and 10 100-tael silver notes.
It’s not that I don’t want to buy more, it’s just that it’s inconvenient to carry more.
After carrying the small wooden box full of supplies back to his small courtyard, Jiang Heng practiced for a while and then fell asleep.
…
Outside the small courtyard.
Leisong breathed a sigh of relief, and then showed a sinister smile.
“This boy is finally leaving the sect!”
"No matter how talented you are, you will inevitably die on this trip!"
