Water-Fire Boy looked embarrassed. "As soon as I learned the news, I hurried here to report it and did not ask for details. However, those registered disciples are waiting in the Upper Clarity Palace. Young Sect Master, you may question them personally."
After speaking, regret flashed through his eyes.
Had he known, he should have first asked about Chang'er Dingguang Xian's whereabouts. Perhaps he could have earned some reward.
Excellent!
Tai Cang failed to notice his expression and strode out of the secret chamber. "Come with me. Tell me about those registered disciples on the way."
"Yes, sir!"
Water-Fire Boy composed himself and hurried after him.
Inside the Upper Clarity Palace, the three registered disciples bowed respectfully, their gazes toward Tai Cang filled with admiration.
The Young Sect Master's legendary experiences had captivated them. He had left the sect as an inner disciple, returned through his own strength, and even governed the Jie Sect in his master's stead. Such a life was practically mythic.
Tai Cang was quite satisfied with their attitude. "You found Chang'er Dingguang Xian?"
He was certain the three would not dare deceive him, and their expressions made it clear that Duobao and the others had not sent them.
"Yes."
The leader replied, "After the Young Sect Master issued the task, my two brothers and I searched throughout the primordial world. A few days ago, we finally found traces of him in the mountains near Wuzhuang Temple."
"According to reliable intelligence, Chang'er Dingguang Xian has changed his name to Huanxi and joined the Western Teachings. He is currently stationed near Wuzhuang Temple, carrying out a mission assigned by the Western Teachings."
Joined the Western Teachings!
Carrying out a mission near Wuzhuang Temple!
A sharp gleam flashed through Tai Cang's eyes, and he immediately understood the reason.
Most
