Chapter 38 Following Your Heart
"But...those two killed my brother!"
Guangbiao said unwillingly, but the deputy tower master Liu in front of him had the cultivation of a Soul Douluo and was of a higher status than him. Even though he was a member of the Federation, he dared not offend him.
"You don't seem to understand me. Your brother committed suicide. He broke his own neck, didn't he?"
Master Liu smiled kindly, but a glint of cold light flashed in his eyes, instantly sending a chill down Guang Biao's spine.
"yes!"
Guangbiao opened his mouth, but only managed to utter one word. He had seen his brother's usual behavior and thought that with him protecting him, nothing would happen, but now it seemed that he had kicked a hornet's nest.
A wise man knows when to yield; he's not stupid.
Wu Changkong watched this scene, glanced at Vice Tower Master Liu, and then at Jiang Xiu and the other two. A look of understanding appeared in his eyes, and at the same time, a thought quietly passed through his mind.
He had initially seen Jiang Xiu and Na'er's talent and wanted to see if he could recruit them and recommend them for Shrek Academy in the future, but now it seemed impossible.
The relationship between the Spirit Pagoda and Shrek Academy is no longer what it used to be; now, they are even subtly at odds.
He still focused on nurturing Tang Wulin and the others, hoping to send them to Shrek Academy in the future, which could be considered as atonement for his past mistakes.
"Captain Guangbiao, is that right? You're quite good. With your cultivation level, being a mere mecha captain is a waste of your talents. You should be fighting on the front lines."
At this moment, Jiang Xiu stepped forward, looked at Guang Biao, and said with a smile.
"This... I don't understand what you're saying."
Guang Biao was stunned. Looking at the young man in front of him who only had the cultivation of a Soul Venerable, a bad premonition welled up in his heart.
"It's okay, you'll understand."
Jiang Xiu said meaningfully, then raised his hand and placed the money that Guanglong had stolen on the table. After thanking Vice Tower Master Liu, he prepared to leave with Na'er.
"Thank you, Soul Master. Thank you, Soul Master. I thank you on behalf of my whole family."
The middle-aged boss was taken aback at first, then his expression changed, and he quickly bowed and thanked him repeatedly. Seeing that the money that had saved his life had been returned, his voice trembled slightly.
The other vendors around looked at Jiang Xiu and Na'er's retreating figures with gratitude. Guanglong had been collecting protection money here for countless years, and they hadn't earned as much as he had. Now that he was dead, they no longer had to live in fear.
It won't happen for at least a while...
"Tsk, Guangbiao, why aren't you taking your brother back? What are you standing here for?"
Liu, the deputy tower master, looked at Guangbiao and pointed at Guanglong, who had been dead for a while.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
No matter how unwilling he was, Guangbiao could only leave dejectedly with Guanglong's corpse, but Jiang Xiu's parting words lingered in his mind.
"Teacher Wu, thank you so much for your help this time. You can come visit the Spirit Pagoda sometime."
After Guangbiao left, Deputy Tower Master Liu came to Wu Changkong and said with a smile.
He knew Wu Changkong's identity. He was once the pride of Shrek Academy and a disciple of an elder of the Sea God Pavilion. However, he didn't know why Wu Changkong suddenly left Shrek Academy, and his current six-ring Soul Emperor cultivation level was clearly not worthy of his talent.
"Okay, we'll talk about it another time. I'm heading back now."
Wu Changkong nodded slightly, and seeing that the matter was resolved, he drifted away.
Just as Jiang Xiu had predicted, he came today to warn Guanglong once again. Xie Xie and the others were naive and thought that a fight would be the end of it, but that would be useless against someone like Guanglong.
But unexpectedly, Guanglong was killed by Jiang Xiu, which can be considered a permanent solution.
"The death of this light dragon was indeed bizarre. Did it kill itself, or did its own shadow kill itself?"
Deputy Tower Master Liu glanced deeply at the bloodstains on the ground, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, before disappearing back into the darkness.
"However, this young friend Jiang is truly meticulous in his work..."
……
Neon lights shone brightly, and the night breeze blew gently.
"Boss, you were so decisive just now. Is this what it means to subdue people with force?"
Na'er followed Jiang Xiu, and the two strolled along the riverbank.
"To subdue others by force, I had to use some force back then. I just used that much force. If Guanglong is still alive, that would be a problem."
Jiang Xiu chuckled lightly.
"So, wouldn't you say we've rid that old man of a menace?"
Na'er waved her fist and asked with bright, sparkling eyes.
"It doesn't really matter; just follow your heart."
Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke frankly.
"Following my heart... that uncle just offered to give me free refills of beef, so we helped him out, and that's how we ended up with a bite and a sip."
Na'er murmured thoughtfully, then looked intently at Jiang Xiu beside her.
"Boss, what if Guanglong's brother goes to find that old man?"
"No, he probably doesn't have a chance."
Jiang Xiu said something pointed.
"Weren't you going to get something to eat? Let's go. We have to go to the Elementary Spirit Ascension Platform tomorrow, so make sure you get a good rest tonight."
After this experience, Jiang Xiu realized the importance of strength even more. Only with strength can one do what one wants.
On the path of cultivation, there are only three realms: ant, fellow Daoist, and senior.
"No, how can eating be tiring?"
Upon hearing about the delicious food, Na'er's beautiful eyes lit up, and she transformed into a treasure-hunting mouse once again, leading Jiang Xiu into the crowd.
……
late at night.
In a high-end residential area in Donghai.
"Bang bang bang!"
Who is it?
A knock sounded, and Guangbiao opened the door to find the highest-ranking federal congressman in Donghai City standing there, accompanied by two guards.
"It's so late, why did you come all the way here? Is there anything I can do for you? I can just come over to you."
Guangbiao's expression changed, and he immediately spoke respectfully.
"Guangbiao, this is your latest appointment. Report to the Western Legion immediately. You have two days to complete the task. Failure to do so will be considered desertion."
The federal congressman took out the transfer order, placed it in front of Guang Biao, and said in a deep voice.
"It's over!"
Guangbiao was struck dumb, as if by a bolt from the blue. He froze on the spot.
"Who exactly were those two people from before?"
With such an incredibly powerful background, the transfer order appeared before him right after the incident, which occurred at 8 p.m.
Similarly, he now deeply regrets his actions. If he had taken better care of his younger brother earlier, the brother would not have died, and he would not have been implicated. But now it's too late to say anything.
……
The following afternoon.
Outside the Spirit Transmission Tower in the East Sea, at the Spirit Ascension Platform.
"Wu Lin, do you think Teacher Wu was lying to us this morning? Is there really someone in this world who is even more talented than us? And not just one, but two?"
Several teenagers stood outside waiting. One of them, a rather handsome boy, spoke up, his tone clearly showing disbelief.
"Thank you, Xie. There are always people better than you. Teacher Wu didn't lie to us either. Let's focus on the upcoming exams."
Tang Wulin stood beside Xie Xie, shrugged, and said that their first year had ended and that today's visit to the Spirit Transmission Platform to ascend to the Spirit Realm was also their final exam.
Gu Yue, standing to the side, seemed to have known something beforehand; her red lips curled slightly, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
"I still don't believe it. If I have the chance, I really want to compete with those two that Teacher Wu mentioned. My skills are not much weaker than theirs."
Xie Xie looked proud and eager to try.
"It seems your chance has come."
At this moment, Gu Yue's soft voice rang out.
Two figures were walking towards them from a distance down the corridor.
