Only Because Junior Brother's Surname Was Xiao

Xia Clan.

"What's the progress on the search for that father and son in the Land of the Four Directions?"

"What the four-legged one mentioned wasn't just idle talk; many of those things can indeed be found in scattered records. However, these records alone are not enough to locate the dragon's burial ground he spoke of."

"Keep pressing him for details; he's definitely holding back."

Is it torture or interrogation?

"We can't just keep suppressing them. We should give them some more benefits. Take them with us to the Law Contemplation Gathering at the Myriad Laws Academy soon, and give them a chance too."

"Good."

A short while later, a figure left.

The remaining person looked out the window.

"If the place where the dragon's bones are buried is indeed true, and if dragon blood can be found there, our Xia Clan might as well go to the Central Province."

Meanwhile, the message was delivered to Qi Zhan.

"The Myriad Laws Academy, who knows how many years have passed, yet it still exists, and it seems it hasn't declined at all."

"I never imagined that after so long, I would encounter another Law Contemplation Gathering."

After learning the news, Qi Zhan immediately agreed.

Although I had a vague feeling that something was amiss, it was still very valuable and necessary for the strong to speak out and for me to participate in such matters.

"The Law Contemplation Gathering begin soon. Let's prepare and set off this afternoon."

Hidden Origin Peak.

"Should we go to the Law Contemplation Gathering?"

Lu Changzhi looked at Mu Fan.

Upon hearing this, Mu Fan thought for a moment and said:

"For the sake of spiritual practice?"

"Then I won't ask you anymore." Lu Changzhi shook his head.

"You're not interested in spiritual practice, so asking is pointless."

"Master understands me." Mu Fan chuckled and asked:

"What is the reason for that?"

"Xiao Ye," Lu Changzhi said.

"Junior Brother Xiao?" Mu Fan wasn't too surprised.

"I wouldn't be surprised at all if he went, but if it's just for the sake of tedious meditation, Master probably wouldn't be interested, right?"

As he spoke, Mu Fan looked at Lu Changzhi.

Lu Changzhi glanced at Mu Fan:

"You've clearly put a lot of thought into those few words; aren't you getting sleepy soon?"

Mu Fan coughed twice, his expression somewhat playful and mischievous.

"The situation is different. Master, what you said has profound meaning, and we still need to ponder it."

Lu Changzhi simply shook his head and smiled at this.

In terms of current physical age, he is actually younger than Mu Fan.

After all, I'm not even twenty years old yet.

Of course, he didn't bother to calculate those things, and simply said:

" At the Law Contemplation Gathering, Xiao Ye will display his brilliance under the spotlight."

Upon hearing this, Mu Fan's expression immediately brightened, and he became alert:

"Is Junior Brother Xiao going to show off?!"

"Go! We must go!"

"How could I be absent from such an occasion? I've been working hard these past few days to finish the commemorative stone plate so that I can record it for my junior brother, for future generations to admire."

Lu Changzhi looked at Mu Fan Jingjing for a moment, then said:

"Judging from your tone, you seem quite interested in what you call 'showing off.'"

Mu Fan waved his hand:

"That depends on how others act. If you try to act like that yourself, you'll just get attacked."

After a pause, Mu Fan asked:

"Master, to what extent do you think Junior Brother Xiao will display his talents?"

Lu Changzhi pondered for a moment:

"Xiao Ye is quite talented, intelligent, and hardworking; he will surely amaze everyone."

"How?"

Mu Fan chuckled:

"Master, just you wait and see, it's definitely not that simple."

Lu Changzhi glanced at Mu Fan:

"You seem very confident. What, do you know something?"

"No, that's not it." Mu Fan held up one index finger and shook it, looking mysterious, and slowly said:

"Simply because my junior brother's surname is Xiao."

Lu Changzhi smiled but remained silent.

If he hadn't been unaware of the significance of the surname Xiao, he truly wouldn't have grasped Mu Fan's meaning.

"Has Senior Brother Gu notified them?" Mu Fan asked at this moment.

Lu Changzhi shook his head:

"He's out there, I wonder how busy he is."

"Alright, then I'll call out to Senior Brother Gu."

"Junior Sister Qin shouldn't have gone very far. I'll mention it while I'm at it; it'll be fun and won't interfere with our training."

A short while later, Mu Fan left.

In the afternoon, Lu Changzhi received messages from both sides.

One message came from Sun Yi, who mentioned that the Law Contemplation Gathering was ready to be attended and asked if I wanted to go with him to save time and energy on the journey. He also mentioned that any issues with the venue could be resolved at the same time.

The other one came from Huang Pi, which also mentioned the Law Contemplation Gathering. However, the focus was on the fact that the place was a mixed bag with a large crowd, making it a perfect opportunity to rob and benefit the masses. He also happened to know a few wealthy but conflicted noblemen, and he needed to get to know Lu Changzhi.

Lu Changzhi offered his deepest encouragement upon hearing the news from Huang Pi and provided all support except for assistance.

As for Sun Yi, there has been no rush to respond.

"System, is this Law Contemplation Gathering Qi Zhan's lucky break?"

Lu Changzhi first asked the system for a shortcut.

If teleportation were possible, he would simply take his disciples with him; it would be much easier than traveling by road.

"Absolutely not," the system replied.

Lu Changzhi shook his head.

"That Qi Zhan guy, his Modest Fortune seems so fake."

So far, I've only used teleportation once.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Changzhi responded to Sun Yi.

Since someone is already preparing for this, let's save some effort.

A night passed in the blink of an eye.

The next day, Hidden Origin Peak was completely deserted.

"It's a pity that Fugui didn't have a mission to complete, he could have gone along too."

On the flying boat, Lu Changzhi gazed in the direction of the distant village and murmured something.

Although they used teleportation arrays for this trip, the distance between them was not exactly short.

This involves transferring between some teleportation arrays, requiring a certain distance to travel before reaching the location of Central Province.

However, Lu Changzhi didn't need to worry about these things.

"However, why do I have this vague feeling that something is about to happen?"

Sipping his tea, Lu Changzhi tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.

"Could this be what they call gaining a perception of cause and effect through an advancement in one's cultivation level?"

Shaking his head, Lu Changzhi did not continue to ponder this.

If you can't figure it out, you'll only waste too much of your energy.

Perhaps this feeling is a sign that I'm about to meet someone new who is suitable to complete the task of taking on disciples.

No longer dwelling on it, Lu Changzhi took the materials provided by Sun Yi and began to examine them, gaining a more detailed understanding of the specific format of this Law Contemplation Gathering.

In addition, regarding this Law Contemplation Gathering, there is already clear information about the distinguished guests from various parties who will be attending.

A cursory glance, without comparing it to the situation of my own disciples, reveals that this place truly is a gathering of heroes, unmatched by Land of the Four Directions.
