The old village chief feigned displeasure when he heard that. "It was West Mountain Village that made the wish. You're a member of West Mountain Village, so what's wrong with you representing us?"
That did seem reasonable. Chen Zui scratched his head. "Fine. If you want me to go that badly, I'll go fulfill the vow. But I've wandered these mountains for ages, and there's no high place overlooking anything."
The moment Chen Zui agreed, the old village chief broke into a delighted grin, looking every bit as though he had known Chen Zui was the man for the job. "I knew you could shoulder a great responsibility, young Chen. Don't worry about the place. Once you're in the mountains, you'll know."
What was with all the mystery? If there really was someone practicing Divine Cultivation in that Divine Temple, Chen Zui could trade a few moves with them. Nothing could be better.
As for fulfilling the vow, burning a stick of incense should do it, right? Chen Zui wasn't sure, but when he asked, the old village chief smiled and said that as long as Chen Zui showed up, the vow would be fulfilled.
What kind of vow fulfillment was that? Even someone as straightforward as Chen Zui found the old village chief deeply unreliable. He couldn't help sighing. If Wen Xu were here, Chen Zui wouldn't have to think about any of this baffling nonsense.
He really should find Wen Xu and Junior Brother Bian first. Once he returned from fulfilling the vow, he could try venturing into town that night. The town wasn't far from the village, but strangely, the old village chief forbade any villager from entering it. He had even blocked the road from the village to the town with a massive boulder.
