Chapter 82: A Sage’s Direct Disciple
Zhao Cheng carefully sensed the flow of principle within Li Shun’s body. It was calm and steady, showing no signs of disturbance. It seemed the man was genuinely sincere.
He pressed further, asking several more questions.
Li Shun answered each one with solemn conviction, swearing his loyalty as though he would gladly die to repay their grace. Only then did Zhao Cheng finally put his mind at ease.
“Looks like the enlightenment was a success.”
Zhao Cheng turned toward Fang Xun.
Fang Xun immediately understood.
“Disciple, go and rest for now. Remember, this matter is of utmost importance. You are not to speak carelessly of it.”
“Master, rest assured. Even if I were to die, I would never reveal a single word to outsiders.”
Li Shun’s expression was incomparably grave.
