"Where exactly did those people come from, and what do they want to use me for?"
After parting ways with Lang Dong and the others, Fang Qianyuan returned to his temporary residence in Spellbreak City and could not help pondering the matter.
Although he kept insisting that he did not trust those people, he had to admit that everything they mentioned was precisely what he was deeply interested in and wanted to investigate.
Aside from avenging his father and finding the whereabouts of the Flying Immortal Records, perhaps only the circumstances behind his master's death remained.
But why had they spoken of the "truth"? Could the explanation the sect had given be false?
For a moment, Fang Qianyuan could not help wavering.
"Elder Fang, Grand Elder Xie requests your presence!"
Early the next morning, a servant arrived at his residence and respectfully delivered the message.
"Grand Elder Xie wants to see me? Just as well. I have something to discuss with him too." Fang Qianyuan thought for a moment, then told the servant, "I'll go over now."
Soon, Fang Qianyuan arrived at Grand Elder Xie's residence.
At that moment, Xie Zhenghe was seated upright behind his desk. His loose robes lent him the ethereal air of an immortal, but his expression held a measure of gravity.
He seemed to be pondering something. Only when Fang Qianyuan entered and greeted him did he raise his head.
"Ah, Qianyuan, you're here. Sit wherever you like." Xie Zhenghe greeted him, then told the servant, "Bring tea."
The servant brought in the freshly brewed fragrant tea, then withdrew. Fang Qianyuan had noticed that the courtyard was completely empty on his way in. This was anything but normal.
Xie Zhenghe was the Grand Elder stationed here, the representative of the Azure Cloud Sect's garrison. Routine
