Chapter 2610: At Your Disposal

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

During the time Su Mo spent in training, more and more rumors regarding Ling Chang started spreading about in Palmy City.

Many heard that Reverend Jin Wu, one of the two chief elders of Palmy branch, had accepted a third disciple. This female student by the name of Xuan Qing happened to be exceptionally attractive with extraordinary talent and possessed the Pure Yin Body as well.

As Reverend Jin Wu’s disciple, even the average person would instantly become everyone’s focus.

But Xuan Qing was still in recovery and had yet to show herself, so no one had seen how she looked.

On this day, in Jin Wu Manor, a graceful figure in green stepped out of the residence and headed towards the western side of the city.

She was Ling Chang, currently known as Xuan Qing.

“Junior Xuan Qing!” someone called out. Xiao Yushu emerged from Jin Wu Manor like a gust of wind, trailing after Ling Chang with a smile on his face, “Junior, I know where Wu Shan resides, let me take you to him!”

“Thank you, senior Yushu!” Ling Chang nodded, accepting his offer.

After resting for half a year, her injuries had healed. It was only when she asked Xiao Yushu that she was told Su Mo had successfully passed the entrance test, as expected. She planned to visit him.

“Junior Xuan Qing, you don’t have to thank me. Helping each other is what we should do!” Xiao Yushu grinned. His junior was much more attractive than his senior Lin Ya. And she possessed the Pure Yin Body too, making her the perfect choice to be his partner.

“Right!” Ling Chang nodded. She knew what he was really up to but, as students under the same teacher, it would not be nice to point that out.

The two talked all the way to the western side of the city

Xiao Yushu had long known where Su Mo was staying, despite not having been there himself.

“Look! That must be Xuan Qing, Reverend Jin Wu’s newest disciple!”

“She’s pretty!”

“Her level is quite high too!”

The countless disciples of Palmy Branch in Palmy City talked amongst themselves as soon as they recognized her when she was travelling with Xiao Yushu.

Palmy City might have been huge, but there was no one as stunning as her. They were some who could match her in terms of beauty, but not so much when it came to talent.

Ignoring all that, Ling Chang and Xiao Yushu marched forward and soon arrived at Su Mo’s courtyard at the western side of the city.

Ling Chang stared speechlessly at the ‘Wu Residence’ before her. Su Mo’s talent was epic, and yet the Palmy Branch had arranged for him to stay in such a shabby place? They absolutely did not value talent at all!

But, Ling Chang thought some more, perhaps Su Mo did not want too come off as too powerful. She knew Su Mo was a humble person who would not want to show his full potential.

“Junior, newly recruited disciples normally live in places like this!” Xiao Yushu quickly explained when he noticed Ling Chang’s expression, but he was not telling the truth.

It was true that most newly recruited disciples were arranged to stay in shabby housing, but that was for students below the True God Realm. For those above it, they got to stay in mansions or even palaces.

“Oh!” Ling Chang nodded. She was about to knock on the door when it opened, revealing Su Mo.

“Are your injuries fully recovered?” Su Mo asked, observing Ling Chang. He had seen her approaching and hence stepped out to greet her himself.

“Yes, I’m completely healed!” Ling Chang said.

“That’s good. Come in!” Su Mo nodded and turned sideways so that the two could enter the courtyard.

The three sat around a stone table at the centre.

“Su... Wu Shan, have you run out of resources?” Ling Chang asked him. It had been a long time and yet he had shown little improvement, so she wondered.

It would take a lot of resources to get to the Cloud Ridge World from the Wasteland. She had exhausted almost all of her Dawn Stones coming here.

“That’s true. Do you have any to spare?” Su Mo nodded and requested some from her. He considered her a member of his inner circle and someone he could be frank with.

If Ling Chang needed resources, she could ask from him too.

Xiao Yushu frowned when he heard that. To him, Wu Shan was a shameless character to ask her for resources like that.

“You can have this storage ring. It’s all Dawn Stones in there!” Ling Chang flipped her palm and passed Su Mo the storage ring that emerged from it.

“Junior, the master gave you those, and you’re giving them all to him?” Xiao Yushu exclaimed in disagreement. Reverend Jin Wu had just presented her with that storage ring just now in Jin Wu Manor.

“I have more!” said Ling Chang.

Su Mo accepted the storage ring and inspected it. His eyes instantly gleamed with delight. There were millions of Dawn Stones within the storage ring, all of which were made of unknown but surprisingly high quality.

However, these Dawn Stones were relatively complex and made up of various attributes. There were few pure Chaotic Dawn Stones, but many more Five Elemental ones.

After some inspection and being satisfied with the goods, Su Mo kept the storage ring. With the amount of Dawn Stones inside, he could achieve a breakthrough soon.

“Wu Shan, how could you accept those resources just like that?” Xiao Yushu asked. To him, Wu Shan was taking things for granted. He could have gotten loads of resources from Xuan Qing without having to lift a finger.

“She’s my senior and she’s giving me resources. Is there a problem?” Su Mo said flatly. He felt that nothing good could come from Xiao Yushu.

“You...!”

Xiao Yushu was rendered speechless. Even though the resources belonged to Xuan Qing and she could give them to whoever she wanted, he just did not like the fact that Su Mo felt justified taking resources from her.

“Junior, later when the master presents you with more resources or other treasures, you can’t give them to outsiders again. The master won’t like it!” Xiao Yushu reminded her. He felt he had the obligation to do so, otherwise these gifts would eventually be cheated away by Wu Shan.

“Wu Shan is not an outsider!” Ling Chang shook her head.

Xiao Yushu paled when he heard that. Xuan Qing must have fallen for Wu Shan’s tricks really hard to be so protective of him.

This made him angry. It seemed that the relationship between Xuan Qing and Wu Shan was not as simple as he thought it was.

“Alright, since you want it that way, then I shan’t interfere!” Xiao Yushu rose, said his final words, and left.

As he walked out of ‘Wu Residence, Xiao Yushu paused in his footsteps and glanced briefly at Su Mo in the courtyard. A cold glint flashed across his eyes.

It seemed he had to drive Wu Shan out as soon as possible, without a moment to lose. This person was not only obstructing him, he was also extremely annoying.

He snickered and strode off. He had a hundred different methods to get the insignificant Wu Shan out of here.

“Su Mo, you have to be careful of Xiao Yushu!” Ling Chang reminded him after the man had left.

“It’s nothing!” Su Mo shook his head and said, “You have to be careful too. He’s not a good person.”

“Got it!” Ling Chang nodded.

And so Su Mo and Ling Chang continued to talk in the courtyard. They talked about their future training, Di Yihun, the Wasteland’s situation, and so on.

...

Xiao Yushu did not return to Jin Wu Manor after he left the ‘Wu Residence’. Instead, he headed to a small palace in the city to look for a young man in black.

The young man in black was tall and mighty, with a fierce-looking face. He was obviously a dangerous character.

“Shi Heng, I have a favor to ask!” Xiao Yushu said, standing before him.

“Whatever it is, Brother Yushu, do tell!” Shi Heng said. It would be his honor to serve Xiao Yushu. There was no reason he would reject.

“There’s a new disciple at our Palmy Branch. He goes by the name of Wu Shan and stays at the ‘Wu Residence’ at the western side of the city. I don’t ever want to see him again!” Xiao Yushu commanded.

“Brother Yushu, you mean...?” Shi Heng squinted, his right hand making a gesture of severing the neck.

“Kill him, chase him out, whatever it takes!” came Xiao Yushu’s reply.

“What’s Wu Shan’s training level like?” Shi Heng asked.

“Eighth Grade, Middle Rank. You’re at Eighth Grade, High Rank, I’m sure you can deal with him easily!” Xiao Yushu said.

“Rest assured, Brother Yushu. you will never see this person again!” Shi Heng’s mouth curved into a cold smile. He could get rid of an Eighth Grade, Middle Rank person for sure.

“Right!” Xiao Yushu nodded and left. He had barely taken two steps when he stopped and said, “Oh, one more thing. Wu Shan has great talent. You ought to be careful.”

“Sure thing!” Shi Heng shook his head, not caring at all. So what if the man had great talent? He himself was highly talented too.

The only thing he was concerned about, were he to deal with Wu Shan, was not to violate the rules of the Palmy Branch.
