Chapter 578: Mo Kongyuan’s Entrustment

“Sigh, actually being a guardian is also not good. One cannot easily repay favors or take revenge. Even after being aggrieved, one still has to hold it in and hide it away,” Ling Chuxi said emotionally. She could totally imagine how frustrating that was. Being angered till almost having to vomit blood but being unable to and having to silently swallow it back instead. It was truly too pitiful.

“If every guardian could so easily repay favors and take revenge, it is only fearful that the world would have long since fallen into chaos,” replied Mo Kongyuan with a bitter laugh.

“How truly boring,” Ling Chuxi mumbled softly. Being a guardian was such a boring existence.

While they were speaking, they arrived before a courtyard and could hear unrestrained laughter coming from inside it even at a distance.

Ling Chuxi focused her attention and looked around. The courtyard’s surroundings were devoid of anyone and there wasn’t even a sentry hidden in some corner.

“My fellow Misters, I shall make a move first,” bade Feng Zitian in farewell before he left the room.

After Feng Zitian left, Mo Kongyuan pushed open the room door open and saw two old men with extraordinary bearings welcoming them.

“I was just saying that the two of you should be arriving already, but I never thought that you’d actually arrive together,” said the two old men with smiles as they welcomed the Mo Kongyuan and Ling Chuxi, though they were slightly surprised when they saw her. It was obvious that they never thought that they would meet such a young junior at such an occasion. Furthermore, this young maiden had arrived by Mo Kongyuan’s side. What kind of a relationship did she have with Mo Kongyuan? Could it be...

“Chuxi, this is Feng Ze Country’s Mister Cao, and this is Wan Chuan’s country’s Mister Wu,” said Mo Kongyuan to Ling Chuxi.

“Brother Mo, you are finally willing to take on a disciple.” Upon confirming his earlier guess, Mister Cao spoke with even more astonishment. He looked humble, but there was a refined manner about him and he clearly had the style of an expert. At least the way he carried himself seemed to be much better than Mo Kongyuan’s nouveau riche tycoon from the village mannerisms.

“This junior’s name is Ling Chuxi and she is not my disciple. She is a comrade,” said Mo Kongyuan with a solemn look.

“You are the Ling Chuxi who shone so brightly in the vassal countries’ great assessment competition?” asked Mister Cao, even more surprised. Although Mo Kongyuan was rather carefree when he did things and was never bothered about details, in reality, he was a proud man, and it was most definitely not easy to have earned his respect enough to be acknowledged as his comrade. This Ling Chuxi, was there something about her skills that made her greater than others?

“You have overpraised me. My name is Ling Chuxi, it is nice to meet you,” said Ling Chuxi courteously.

“Indeed, a young and talented one,” said Mister Cao who appeared to be very casual and had offhandedly praised Ling Chuxi as he looked at Mo Kongyuan in doubt.

This was a Guardian Gathering. If he had taken on a new disciple and had wanted to bring her along to another gathering for everyone to acknowledge the fact, then that was still acceptable. But this was not the case. What did he bring her to a Guardian Gathering for?

“Let’s go in first before talking any more. I brought Chuxi here because there are some very important matters that we want all of you to be aware of,” said Mo Kongyuan, sensing Mister Cao’s doubt.

“All right, come in before speaking more, come in before speaking more,” said Mister Cao.

Xie Wuji looked at Ling Chuxi in doubt. Aside from Lin Cangbo, the others were unaware of why Mo Kongyuan had brought Ling Chuxi along.

“Brother Mo, what matters were you speaking of just now?” asked Mister Cao once they had taken their seats. Wu Feng Hall’s periphery was heavily guarded but the hidden sentries around this courtyard had already long since been sent away, so there was no need to worry that any outsiders would hear them. Of course, even if there were people who wanted to eavesdrop, they would not be able to hide from the eyes and ears of the guardians.

“This time, regarding the changes within Little Silver Ancient Mountain, I keep getting the feeling that there are a lot of hidden dangers. My age is already big, and I am also unable to withstand much tossing around in battle. Therefore, if anything untoward happens to me, Ling Chuxi will take my place as Nan Xia Country’s guardian. When that time comes, may the few of you please guide and help her a little more on account of this old face of mine,” said Mo Kongyuan straightforwardly.

The moment he said those words, everyone was stunned.
