Chapter 616: Chapter 213: When Everything Began (6400)_3

After a brief conversation between mother and son, Shen Mubai still felt reluctant—she had only just spent a good half-year with her son, and now they had to part ways again.

But An Jing felt helpless too—if he stayed in Da Chen, even if there were no other plots or schemes, just the ’calamity’ brought by the Heavenly Mandate alone would greatly affect the developments around.

If he wanted his mother to live a peaceful and tranquil life, he truly could not stay in Da Chen.

After finishing their conversation, Bai Qinghan then had a private discussion with An Jing in one corner.

"Eldest Senior, now you have truly entered the internals of Da Chen."

She was quite exhausted, which was natural. The war with the Heavenly Demon had far-reaching effects, just dealing with natural disasters and the occasional Demon was already draining enough, not to mention there were always people wanting to target Shen Mubai, with Horse Bandits coming in waves.

This major event, although An Jing was undoubtedly the main character, if not for the sufficient fighting capabilities of Bai Qinghan and Xu Tai, and the ability of Cang Linzu to transfer and hide at any moment, the safety of Shen Mubai would really be hard to guarantee.

However, now, after An Jing demonstrated his value in the united front, he doesn’t have to worry too much about this issue anymore.

To this, Bai Qinghan had some doubts: "You said you don’t want to stay in Da Chen... wouldn’t all your previous efforts be wasted?"

"If you’re not in Subdue Evil City, no one there has the prestige to build it, it will eventually turn into a messed-up project disappointing everyone."

"Let’s not talk about whether it will end up as a mess—even if it does, couldn’t that be considered a good thing?"

And what An Jing said to Bai Qinghan was more realistic and direct, he calmly stated: "When I’m not there, the city is chaotic and filthy, everyone is dissatisfied and disappointed, so they would think of having me back."

"If the life of the same group of people is the exact same whether I leave or not, wouldn’t that mean my existence is unnecessary?"

The words were harsh, but that was the reasoning. Bai Qinghan was stunned, and after realizing the point, she gained some insight: "So, in that case, we shouldn’t build up Subdue Evil City, or even intentionally ruin some constructions?"

"There’s no need for that." An Jing shook his head, although Bai Qinghan understood quickly, her thoughts were still too extreme, he earnestly instructed: "I will leave, and soon enough, Qinghan, you will also leave, and so will Cang. Without our core team around, Xu Tai is the only one in charge. Although he indeed is capable, he can barely make life tolerable, not necessarily good."

"That is enough, relying on others to mess things up is not advisable. What we need to do is to perform well beyond others’ expectations."

"I always feel like this method can also be used within the sect. It seems Master has a similar approach."

Bai Qinghan, lost in thought said: "Recently, the You Patrol Envoy went through all your information, the sect asked Master to assist Him, and while Master appeared to comply on the surface, in reality, he has always been helping you covertly."

"Thus, the plan of You Patrol Envoy went wrong, Eldest Senior, you also proved your strength and value, after seeing the outcome, the sect decided to continue letting Master and me handle matters related to you..."

"Although you are not within the sect, your approach is indeed exactly the same!"

"This is called retreating to advance, a simple tactic."

An Jing sighed, he encouraged: "Xiaobai, you also need to read more military books, your cultural level has improved, but often you only understand, unable to actually apply."

"I will." Bai Qinghan responded earnestly, An Jing called Xu Tai forward, but found that this former Escort Leader was somewhat hesitant.

"What is it."

An Jing wondered: "I appoint you as the acting City Lord of Subdue Evil City, this is a great opportunity for you, your Fate Pattern, and your Martial Arts—so many people want to be the City Lord but couldn’t, I chose you because you are close to achieving Martial Meridian, giving you this important responsibility!"

"I’m just afraid I can’t live up to your trust."

Xu Tai looked serious, he valued promises and gratitude extremely. An Jing saved his life and repeatedly rewarded him generously, honestly, it was almost enough to buy his life.

But now, An Jing entrusted him with such a heavy responsibility, he genuinely felt the pressure of the three cities and seventeen towns surrounding Heavenly Sword Mountain weighing on his shoulders, and Xu Tai, not being a weightlifting aficionado, naturally felt somewhat apprehensive.

"You can rest assured." An Jing then adjusted the words he had said to Bai Qinghan, more calmly explaining his plan to him: "Just do as you see fit, manage as you wish. You are talented, soon to reach Martial Meridian, no one can criticize you in this aspect."

"If you really do make a mistake, you can also consider it as setting the stage for my return. You are my subordinate, aren’t you willing to make some mistakes for me?"

With those words, Xu Tai was reinvigorated—carrying the blame, ah, carrying the blame is good, it has to be about carrying the blame!

A true good subordinate must have the spirit to carry the blame for the leader, especially for An Jing, how could the future riches be insufficient?

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

After Xu Tai also stepped back, Cang Linzu emerged from the shadows, his face full of anticipation looking at An Jing, as if asking ’What about me? What’s my responsibility?’

"Your task is the most important."

An Jing seriously said, patting his shoulder: "You’re in charge of getting me out."

"No problem!"

Hearing the clear directive, Cang Linzu was extremely happy, but soon he became distressed: "Just that, boss, my strength isn’t quite enough, I can’t teleport you to Bright Mirror Sect in one go."

"Who asked you to teleport me to Bright Mirror Sect in one go." An Jing shook his head: "Just getting me into the Great Wilderness is enough—though indeed your strength is a problem."
