Chapter 235: Chapter 96 Huh? Who’s Disciple Am I?

Sure, here is the translation:

A single small flaw was enough to create a huge mistake, a life-and-death crisis!

But, after all, it was just a small flaw; as long as it had not really worsened, it wasn’t irreparable.

All he had to do was claim he came from a large clan deep within the Dust Li, with little to do with the border areas of the Bai Bu!

In an instant, An Jing came up with a set of explanations, and on the surface, he slightly bowed his head as if respectfully waiting for the True Person to speak.

Sure enough, Inspector Cao directly asked, "I have heard from City Magistrate Kanming that you took action out of a sense of justice, and with your own strength, you killed seven demons from the True Demon Sect, and rescued many Da Chen citizens who were kidnapped and trafficked, without asking for any reward, truly a paragon of chivalry."

"But you didn’t ask for a reward, which speaks to your noble character. However, our Da Chen laws are revered and cannot go unrewarded."

"You’re anxious to return home and can’t accept a public commendation, which is truly regrettable, but you can leave behind your clan residence. The Wild State Prefecture Government will send an envoy to visit."

Inspector Cao paused in his speech, obviously waiting for ’Jing Xuan’ to reveal his family.

In response, An Jing smoothly said, "True Person, my tribe is hidden in the northeast of Visible Empty Mountain, residing beside the northern bank of the Daze under Dawn Brightness Peak. Due to the influence of Frost Calamity, the tribe dispatched a mission team to visit the Supreme True One of the Peak. Being naughty and playful, and admiring the royal culture of Da Chen, I have studied Chen Studies deeply, and with some martial force at my disposal, I secretly left the team to experience the local customs of Da Chen in Kanming firsthand."

"Who knew I would be caught up in the disaster of the Heavenly Demon. Luckily, the True Person intervened, crushing the Heavenly Demon into nothingness. Without such action, the whole of Kanming city would have faced a great calamity. Thinking of this, I can’t help but be immensely grateful!"

"As for the commendation, I am deeply honored, but with the Frost Calamity and demon disasters, my elders at home must be very worried. To prevent my parents from worrying too much, I must return to the Dust Li as soon as possible."

"Hmm."

Facing An Jing’s series of fluent self-introductions and flattery, Inspector Cao thoughtfully nodded, "Dawn Brightness Peak... Daze... Hmm, it does seem like there is such a matter..."

——Of course, there is, what I’m saying is all true!

An Jing thought to himself that since Dust Li had been trading with the northern part of Da Chen for so many years, he certainly knew how Dust Li distinguished tribal territories—first and foremost are the Five Mountains, the peaks beneath the mountains, the lands below the peaks, the clans of the lands. With such a hierarchy, even a non-existent tribe seemed plausible.

What he had just reported was actually the information of the young Dust Li martial artist, used as raw material for creating the ’Jing Xuan’ identity—completely real, not a single lie!

"With your strength, if it had not been for the encounter with the Frost Calamity, you indeed could travel freely, and no wonder your elders were at ease with your ’escape from home.’"

Inspector Cao seemed to have realized something. He nodded slightly and casually took out a Treasure Mirror from his bosom, "This must be the heirloom Treasure Mirror from your family, right? The craftsmanship is indeed exquisite, and it makes use of many artifact conveniences, truly a work of genius."

"To create such a Treasure Mirror, your elders or ancestors must undoubtedly be from the Peak’s True Inheritance. Now that the Tianyuan Realm edges with the ravaging of the True Demons, it’s extremely dangerous. Tell me his name, and I’ll notify him to come pick you up."

——Now this is bad!

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, An Jing was genuinely a bit sweaty. Although he had been prepared for Inspector Cao to dig deep, he didn’t expect the other party to get their hands on the Treasure Mirror.

The craftsmanship of the Tianyuan Realm was too good, probably surpassing some limit he did not know, causing Inspector Cao to misinterpret his identity.

Whether the other party was trying to probe what that non-existent ’Peak’s True Inheritance’ actually meant, if it was just to cause trouble in Da Chen, or was genuinely kind enough to inform Jing Xuan’s elder to send this talented young man back home to avoid any mishap on the road, given he was to receive commendation from Da Chen and it wouldn’t look good for either side, An Jing was now being grilled over a fire.

——What to do now? Make up a name on the spot and flee using the Sword of the Great Void while Inspector Cao is communicating? No need to go to such extremes, this is not a life-and-death crisis.

——Or should I confess my true identity? After all, at most I’m just a defector from the Demon Sect, and clarifying it might not be a big deal?

——Or perhaps... could I claim that I’m actually from a small clan, and the Treasure Mirror was passed down by my ancestors? But that would conflict with the information I’ve previously disseminated... However, I could still try to muddy the waters.

Let’s just play it by ear!

"Sir..."

As thoughts raced through his mind, An Jing’s face showed a troubled expression, causing Inspector Cao to slightly furrow his brow, "What’s the matter? Is there something you can’t say?"

An Jing was just about to ’honestly’ lie that his family was nothing remarkable and had no connection with the Peak’s True Inheritance.

Suddenly,

another beam of heavenly light flowed and transformed into a gentle, sunlit Treasure Mirror, hanging above the heads of both.

"Ah, Cao, why trouble yourself with a junior."

As the Mirror Light condensed, Divine Repository’s True Person, dressed in a white robe, stepped out from the Great Void.

With a head of mottled gray-black hair, True Master Mysterious Mirror, Mingguang Dust, stood slightly between An Jing and the scrutinizing Inspector Cao, calmly saying, "What decisions can a junior make? Surely it is us, the elders, who have instructed him."

"If you wish to ask, just come direct to me, why seek trouble with my disciple?"

This statement was like a bolt from the blue.

"You?"

Hearing the words of Mingguang Dust, Inspector Cao immediately looked at An Jing with a strange expression, then at True Master Mysterious Mirror, "He is your disciple?"

"I?"

Although An Jing’s expression remained unchanged, he couldn’t help but inwardly retort, "Whose disciple am I?"

"Huh?"

You Ruhui, hiding in the trunk, also sent a puzzled thought to An Jing, "You are his disciple?"

"Yes."

And Mingguang Dust was utterly composed, taking a step back and placing a hand on An Jing’s shoulder, "He is my disciple."

For a moment, silence fell over the plains of the Great Wilderness of Western Mountain.

And the many members of the various teams who had already stood up now simply prostrated themselves, not daring to say a word.

It was as if two gods from Divine Repository had descended at once, and between the two... there seemed to be a slight contradiction?

And the center of this contradiction was their employer?

—Jing Xuan, is a disciple of True Master Mysterious Mirror?

Yes... that’s right!

Once they knew this, those who had been slightly puzzled about An Jing’s identity suddenly felt as if they had an epiphany!

Only a disciple of Divine Repository like Jing Xuan could explain his powers!

And only a disciple of Divine Repository would come to Kanming City at such a delicate time and confront the True Demon Sect!

Jing Xuan was here on behalf of his master, who could not enter Da Chen freely, to investigate the situation in Kanming City!

Everything became clear, even Inspector Cao showed a look of sudden realization, "He really is your disciple? Jing Xuan, Xuan... I see, now I understand!"

—What do you understand!
