Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Found a Clue
After the Five Great Forces came to an agreement, Luo Feng quickly selected the fifty candidates. His method was actually quite simple: all Core Disciples were to go, while Direct Disciples could volunteer.That evening, Luo Feng tossed a huge pile of applications from the volunteering Direct Disciples to Lin Yun and left him with a single instruction: "Pick forty people from this pile to go to the Saint’s Relics." With that, Luo Feng casually took his leave.
Staring at the dozens of application forms before him, Lin Yun shook his head with a helpless, wry smile. ’My master is really something else,’ he thought. ’To think he’d just carelessly dump such an important decision on me.’
Tasked with picking forty people from over a hundred applicants, Lin Yun naturally chose Lu Bingning and Lan Xi first. Aside from the two of them, Lin Yun simply ranked the remaining candidates from highest to lowest cultivation.
In the end, the forty Direct Disciples were chosen. Aside from Lu Bingning and Lan Xi, the other thirty-eight all turned out to be at the Ninth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm.
Early the next morning, Lin Yun found Luo Feng and handed him the list of the forty people he had selected. Luo Feng took it and put it away without so much as a glance.
"Master, aren’t you even going to look at it?" Lin Yun asked upon seeing this.
"What’s there to look at? They’re just a few spots, right? Besides, I trust you to handle things," Luo Feng said, sounding completely unconcerned.
Hearing this, Lin Yun’s mouth twitched. He then asked Luo Feng for permission to make a trip to Wind City. Luo Feng nodded in agreement. "Go ahead, but you must be back before nightfall tomorrow. We leave early the day after."
Lin Yun nodded. Since time was tight, he didn’t have a chance to tell Lu Bingning or Lan Xi. ’I’ll be back tomorrow anyway,’ he figured. Alone, he set off for Wind City.
He traveled at top speed and arrived in Wind City by evening. This time, Lin Yun didn’t disturb the Bai Family. He had already changed out of his Flawless Palace Core Disciple attire before entering the city.
He entered the city according to Wind City’s regulations and went directly to a side gate of the He Family estate. A He Family Guard, who was already waiting there, respectfully welcomed Lin Yun inside.
He was led to the main hall, where Li Tian and Patriarch He were already waiting, having heard of his impending arrival. Seeing Lin Yun walk in, Patriarch He bowed and said, "Young Master Lin."
Lin Yun gave a slight nod. With him present, the seat of honor naturally fell to him, while Li Tian and Patriarch He took the seats on either side below him.
