Chapter: 6613
Wu Shouzong explained: "The young master thought it would be good for her to go out and run around, see the world, and accumulate some experience. He didn't think it would lead to something like this..."
Wu Tianlin paced back and forth in his room, filled with anger and hatred, saying: "You... you're absurd! Song Ruyu is a talent among tens of millions of people, and our leader has long wanted to bring her into the fold. However, for some time now, the leader's energy has been diverted elsewhere, so he let me temporarily settle her at the commandery office. How could you send her out?"
"I..." Wu Shouzong didn't know how to explain.
He arranged Song Ruyu to go to Morocco, just thinking of keeping her close and treating her like a beloved niece. He felt she would be bored sitting at the commandery office every day, having nothing but an empty title. So he took it upon himself to send her out for a trip.
This was said to be executing a task, but in reality, it was just letting her take a break and find some sense of superiority.
Originally, I thought with her abilities, she would easily execute this kind of task in Morocco. Who would have thought that something like this would happen?
It's like an old master trying to curry favor with his favorite student by sending him on a trip, only to realize he got into an air accident. This feeling makes him regret his decision.
Now it's too late to regret, the situation has already occurred. The only thing I can do is hurry and seek guidance from the leader. If the leader punishes me, I'll take responsibility right away to avoid further punishment. If there are other instructions, I'll follow them promptly. Maybe I can still make up for my mistake.
Wu Tianlin was also a bit flustered. He whispered, "Shouzong, our leader has great confidence in her plan for Nigeria. She's been waiting anxiously for the good news from the three elders. If she finds out that everything has been exposed by the enemy and they've even stolen one of our bases, including losing Song Ruyu, a genius among tens of millions, she'll definitely be enraged..."
Wu Tianlin became more agitated in his heart, quickly asking, "Then what should I do, grandfather? I...I'm really at a loss! For the past few days, I've been stuck in Nigeria, never daring to leave my post. You know the real strength of the people under me, and their abilities are relatively low. The mysterious person's power is strong, even the four big earls can't do anything about him. My people under me are completely unable to resist him. No matter where he goes outside of Nigeria, the outcome will be the same..."
Wu Tianlin asked him, "Your subordinates' base should strictly follow the secrecy plan and not leak any clues to outsiders. Why did he still manage to find out? Just this one point is enough to condemn me for a major oversight!"
Wu Shouzong cried and said, "Grandfather, this...this isn't my fault...That person's abilities are so great, even if I'm more cautious, I'll definitely be caught off guard..."
As he spoke, he became somewhat agitated and asked, "Ah, grandfather...if they already knew Nigeria was a trap, then...then wouldn't they have been secretly monitoring this place? Three great elders are waiting here below, what if they catch us? Wouldn't that be endless trouble?"
Wu Shouzong's heart sank as he exclaimed, "Oh no! This situation is getting out of hand! I'll go beg for guidance from the leader right away!"
This is intentionally provoking me!
At this very moment, Wu Feiyan was meditating in her own dojo.
Her dojo was located deep within this South Pole island, beneath sea level by over 300 meters, surrounded entirely by cold rock. Wu Feiyan chose to establish the Pure Clear Sect's base here, partly for its concealment and security, and partly because the environment suited her cultivation needs.
In recent years, Wu Feiyan had rarely meditated for extended periods, each time ranging from a few days to several months, unlike the three great elders who would meditate for years at a time.
Wu Feiyan's reluctance to meditate for long periods was not due to concern about the Pure Clear Sect's development deviating from her control, but rather because she found it increasingly difficult to focus and cultivate as her age advanced. Five hundred years had already passed, leaving only a century or so before she reached the end of her mortal life. She still hadn't found the formula for the Hundred Turns, Thousand Revolves Dan, and what little time was left could be said to be fleeting.
As Wu Feiyan grew older, she felt that one's lifespan was often in accordance with the concept of energy conservation.
Practitioners may live a long life, but their experience of the world and true enjoyment of human life are not significantly different from those of an ordinary person who passes away at the age of 60-70.
In the past four hundred years, she had spent at least three hundred years in cultivation, leaving only a little time to find Lin Wan'er or develop the Pure Clear Sect. Time for personal enjoyment was almost zero.
Looking back now, the most beautiful moments of life were actually when I was with my senior brother, Lin Zhouchou, secludedly cultivating in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
At that time, Senior Mentor Meng Changsheng rarely inquired about their affairs; after a few days of closing oneself, he would take out half an hour to check on our progress and offer a few words of guidance before returning to his seclusion for several more days.
So, during that period, it was almost like we were living in our own little world. JrNovels.com
