Chapter 799: A Pawn Made From A Mistake
Lin Wu continued to watch as the Young master cried and cried. His face had turned red by now and his breath was haggard as well.
“Fine,” Lin Wu finally spoke.
Lian Xiaojian stopped his crying and started at Lin Wu with an expectant gaze.
“Really!?” Lian Xiaojian said, feeling relieved.
“Yes, I’ll help you awaken your innate physique.” Lin Wu replied.
“Thank you for your grace, King Lin Wu. If not for you, we would have never known that there was such a danger hidden in Young master’s fate.” Elder Ruanjian said, feeling relieved as well.
“Mmm, but you must also know this…” Lin Wu spoke, tensing up Elder Ruanjian and Lian Xiaojian. “That there is no guarantee the innate physique will truly awaken. Not only does it depend on the trial he goes through but also his will power.
If he has a weak will power, no matter what we do, Lian Xiaojian will die.” Lin Wu stated firmly.
Hearing this, Elder Ruanjian nodded his head. He had read the information and knew of the risks.
“Some risks are bound to be there in one’s life. And we are cultivators who go against the heavens. Risks are embedded in our path and overcoming them is our duty.” Elder Ruanjian stated.
“The Lian clan shall not hold King Lin Wu accountable if anything happens to young master Lian Xiaojian.” He added.
“Alright.” Lin Wu gave his final agreement. “Lian Xiaojian can stay here for now. I’ll have to prepare for his trial.”
“Of course! I shall wait for as long as you want, King Lin Wu.” Lian Xiaojian said, not minding the negatives that Lin Wu had said earlier.
He was already heading towards a deadly point in life and knew that this was better than nothing.
Elder Ruanjian nodded as well before speaking. “Then I shall take my leave King Lin Wu and leave Young master in your care. I need to return to the Lian clan and inform our patriarch of this matter.”
“Very well. I’ll send you out.” Lin Wu replied, not minding his sudden departure.
Elder Ruanjian looked at Kai Li and had a complex expression.
“Junior elder Kai Li, seems like I need to leave the rest to you. I hope that you can work everything out.” Elder Ruanjian said with a hint of apology.
“I’ll do my best to fulfill this duty, Elder Ruanjian. You can rest assured.” Kai Li replied hurriedly.
She didn’t mind it at all, and was actually pleased that Elder Ruanjian was leaving everything to her now.
‘This is the best thing that I could’ve asked for. I will have a better hold on things without Elder Ruanjian gawking at all I do.’ Kai Li thought to herself and barely managed to hold back her smile.
Though in all this, Lin Wu was unaware that Elder Ruanjian’s urgency to leave was because of an entirely different reason. The need to inform about Lian Xiaojian’s situation was merely a part of it.
The main reason was the danger that the patriarch was in.
“Can you send me out, King Lin Wu? I need to head to the Lian Clan as fast as possible.” Elder Ruanjian requested.
“Sure,” Lin Wu casually said, before waving his tail.
~SHUA~
Runes appeared around Elder Ruanjian before turning into a teleportation array.
The elder felt his body turning weightless before his vision turned dark. He felt like his body was rapidly moving, but he felt no air on his skin.
‘The teleportation array truly is not simple…’ Elder Ruanjian thought.
A few seconds later, he felt like he had stopped, and his vision returned as well. And when it did, Elder Ruanjian found himself at an entirely different location.
“Huh? This place… Genai Mountains?” Elder Ruanjian recognized.
He was a bit stunned as this location was situated north of the Millennium forest. Normally, Lin Wu should have sent Elder Ruanjian to the western side where the Deer Wood city was. But he had not.
“No way… does he know the Lian clan is to the north?” Elder Ruanjian wondered.
While the location of the Lian clan wasn’t exactly a secret, the ones who knew about it were mostly people having high status and cultivation base. It would mostly be kings, ministers, sect elders and such.
And as far as Elder Ruanjian knew, Lin Wu was only new and shouldn’t know about it.
Putting these thoughts aside for now, Elder Ruanjian flew up and rushed to the Lian clan.
Back at the tomb, Lin Wu watched as Lian Xiaojian stared at him like a bullied child.
~Sigh~
Lin Wu let out a sigh, and spoke. “You can rest for now, I’ll call you when I have things ready. The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape will talk to you about it.”
“Alright, King Lin Wu. I shall wait for you.” Lian Xiaojian said, feeling a little happy.
Lin Wu then waved his tail and teleported him back to his courtyard as well. After that, he told the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape about the situation briefly and told him to tend to the fatty for now.
Having done this all, Lin Wu finally brought his mind back to the matter at hand.
“Now then… perhaps we should conclude our work?” Lin Wu asked.
“Y-yes, King Lin Wu! I’ll prepare things here for now and also get acquainted with the beasts you are going to send. I’ll also send my subordinates to get the things ready on the other end.” Kai Li replied quickly.
She couldn’t wait to begin her work and her eyes simply yearned to look at the mountains of gold that were in her future.
“Mmm… I’ll tell you more when the time comes. You can also return to the courtyard for now.” Lin Wu said.
“Then I shall take my leave too, King Lin Wu.” Kai Li cupped her hands before Lin Wu teleported her away as well.
~huu~
Done with them, Lin Wu took a deep breath.
“How many do we have left?” Lin Wu looked through the list of people that wanted to meet him.
