Chapter 574: Chapter 501 - The Gradually Gaining Reputation of Jade Talisman Pulse!_2

"Did something happen within the sect?" Wang Zijia deftly changed the subject while eating, "Hadn’t I told you? I’m not in complete isolation, you can contact me directly if anything comes up."

Though he didn’t splurge on that terrifyingly expensive ’satellite phone,’ he had left his identity card at the underground base with a divine thought avatar guarding it, so he could be notified promptly.

"No, nothing happened in the sect. It’s all pretty quiet," Xiang Feifei looked at Wang Zijia, "It’s about An Xingsheng."

"Hmm? What happened to him? Did the lad get caught trying to grease his own pockets?" Wang Zijia teased, "If he’s caught, make sure you teach him a good lesson!"

Xiang Feifei heard the obviously teasing words but didn’t laugh, "He took up a battlefield mission. He’ll be heading to the northern battlefield in less than half a month."

Wang Zijia paused his meal and frowned, "That doesn’t make sense, he’s only left the sect once with me to the Tianhong Dynasty. Otherwise, he’s never left the sect."

"With his clever personality, even if he’s now a sacrificial wine, he shouldn’t be taking such a large step all at once, right?"

"It’s a compulsory battlefield mission," Xiang Feifei replied.

Wang Zijia’s forehead creased even more. A compulsory mission was even more unlikely.

Although the Outer Sect is currently mobilizing for war and has issued quite a few compulsory missions, his line in the White Peach Peak, Jade Talisman Lineage, except for him, the peak master...

The only sacrificial wine registered on the surface was An Xingsheng. Xiang Feifei and Bai Qian were still hiding.

Moreover, as the sect leader, he’s himself accomplishing the tasks, which is kind of like a rudderless ship.

Under such circumstances, the sect, unless it was going all in, wasn’t supposed to dispatch An with any compulsory task.

Was someone pulling strings behind the scenes?

"Did the task department issue it? Did you find out who the person in charge is?" Wang Zijia asked, his thoughts flickering and eyebrows furrowed.

His tone was slightly heavy. As a God Monarch, even if he was only a pseudo soul stage in the sect’s information, he was still a God Monarch recognized by the head teacher.

He had to show some temperament. You have to consider the owner when beating the dog.

Xiang Feifei shook her head, "I’m not too sure, but I heard it was supposed to be the patriarch of the An Family. However, the An Family patriarch has reached the Age of Five Decays for Humans and Celestials."

"He’s ailing and has about a decade or so of life left. If he were to go to the battlefield... well, he likely won’t return. That’s why, An Xingsheng took over."

Wang Zijia’s forehead furrowed more tightly. This situation was becoming more chaotic.

The An Family, as a small clan of sacrificial wines, was so desperate to continue their lineage before, more than anyone else.

Now that they have finally found a successor, why would the young ones go and not the old?

What a joke!

If anything happens to An Xingsheng, the favorable situation that the An Family just built would undoubtedly revert back to how it was before liberation!

With the precarious situation the An family managed to navigate through, wouldn’t they understand these issues?

Without asking more about this matter, Wang Zijia started chattering with Xiang Feifei about some routine incident from the past few months.

After finishing breakfast, he entered the White Peach Tower under the reluctant gaze of Xiang Feifei.

······

"Good morning, Master!"

"Good morning, Sect Leader!"

"Greetings, Sect Leader!"

An Xingsheng, who had been informed the previous day that Wang Zijia would be coming out today, waited as usual early in the morning with Four Kiddo.

The White Peach Tower secretary’s office, um, otherwise known as the ’Taoist Boy’ team, had grown considerably.

Two named disciples and two gatekeepers from before, along with An Xingsheng, were the so-called prominent figures of the White Peach Peak. They were the so-called front men of the peak!

Wang Zijia gave them a quick glance, waved his hand casually and Four Kiddo left.

He casually took the recent business information files from An Xingsheng and went into the room.

An Xingsheng, like usual, held a bunch of miscellaneous study materials and followed him into the room.

While Wang Zijia was reading the files and reviewing recent events, and as he sat down...

An Xingsheng placed the materials he had on the table, "These are some of the materials that I gathered right after I received your message yesterday."

"Because the Divine Dao was exterminated in the last century, this related information is top secret in the sect. Even if you, as the lineage master, attempt to use your authority, there won’t be much relevant material."

"Considering that you had me prepare information on the likes of the Divine Kingdom Secret Realm, I also collected some data on mysterious domains that have a divine Dao and their related material."

Wang Zijia paused in his review of the material and glanced at An Xingsheng.

He had been accustomed to An Xingsheng doing these things before.

But only after experiencing Chu Chaowen, such a terrible secretary, did he realize how much hassle could be saved by having such a sensible and clever secretary like An Xingsheng!

The most important thing was that the two of them had come up from nothing together, and they trusted each other.

He did not immediately look through the book material, but directly asked after a moment of sizing up An Xingsheng, "What is this compulsory task all about?"

An Xingsheng paused before saying, "When I broke through to the stage of Sacrificial Wine, my clan had already run out of resources. It was difficult to get the Foundation Building Pill, not to mention the spiritual object."

"Because I followed the lineage master, my cultivation and background skyrocketed, and the patriarch went out on a limb, borrowing from the Pill Institute. He was somewhat desperate."

"Although I have broken through now, the corresponding tasks and resources are naturally at the level of the Sacrificial Wine."

"And the patriarch did this for me, I would never let him go to the battlefield under any circumstances. If the patriarch died on the battlefield, I wouldn’t be able to live in peace for the rest of my life."

"So I overcame all opposition, suppressed the opinions of my clan, even to the point of quarrelling with the patriarch, I insisted on going. Do you also want to persuade me, lineage master?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zijia said with an air of understanding, "So it’s not a compulsory mission? It’s just repayment for the resources loaned before?"

An Xingsheng nodded and said, "Yes, it’s just that most of the sect’s tasks are related to the battlefield now, and the designated tasks are definitely of this kind."

"Consider it bad luck, I should have done the task as soon as I broke through earlier."

"At that time, my thought was to delay for some time and complete it easily once my cultivation is higher, but who knew that the situation would be like this now."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zijia stopped asking, as long as no one caused trouble to the White Peach Peak, it was fine.

As for persuading ... Having been with An Xingsheng for so long, how could he not know what kind of person he was?

To put it bluntly, he was a straight-laced, ivory-tower college student, who hadn’t experienced society, or even been exposed to the internet!

Although he was clever and quick-witted, it didn’t mean he was unclean.

For a person like him, if he had to watch his patriarch die for him... honestly speaking, it might be something he would never be able to get over in his entire life.

Psychological issues were a significant problem in the previous life. Not to mention this world now, where dust muddling the Taoist heart was truly difficult to handle.

So Wang Zijia hesitated for a second and took out a paper figure, a shield, an order symbol, and three crystal-red jade talismans.

Under An Xingsheng’s bewildered gaze, he casually tossed them to An Xingsheng.

"The paper figure is a life-saving paper figure that I prepared in my early years, which I found no opportunity to use, and now, I no longer need it."

"The shield is an initial spirit artifact, which is the limit for your cultivation. Anything better and you’d struggle to wield it."

"These three jade talismans, one is for escape, one is a Dharma idol, and one is a Molten Fireball, they are all orthodox Fu treasures of the middle stage of Infant God. However, they are still only one-time use."

"Forget everything else. When you throw that fireball, make sure to run far away. My signature, the Molten Fireball, is powerful. Don’t end up hurting yourself!"

"Finally, this order symbol is my special order symbol. If there’s really something you cannot handle, don’t hold it. Activate it, and I will arrive in person through Divine Tour."

An Xingsheng: "..."

An Xingsheng looked at the pile of unimaginable treasures before him, with a feeling that Wang Zijia thought he was going to go onto a battlefield and have a brutal fight with an Infant God.

"Lineage master, I’m just going to do a simple cleaning task! Although the north is quite dangerous now, it hasn’t reached the level that I need to have a hard fight with a god monarch!"

Wang Zijia waved his hand indifferently and said, "Hmm, go on then!"

In just three short years, his level had risen rapidly. An Xingsheng’s eyes had widened considerably, but he still hadn’t realized how powerful he had become!

An Xingsheng: "..."

Are you kidding? He’s the only flagship figure of the White Peach Peak now, a favored person in front of the Infant God Monarch of the Wanyu Immortal Sect. Surely he should have some status. To not have a treasure to protect him when he goes out?
