Chapter 10: Xiang Yang
“This is Xiang Yang. This is as far as I can take you, since they don’t allow people to fly into the city. We’ll have to part ways here, but I hope you find your way in life. If I make any significant progress in my cultivation, I swear I will help you search for your friends.” The elder from the Clear Heart sect with the appearance of a young boy proudly declared.
“...Thank you.”
Elder Nong proceeded to descend right beside the gate, ignoring all the spectators in the line. At the wave of the hand, several guards rushed out toward him, bowing politely toward him.
“Sir cultivator, please let us escort you through.”
“No need, I’m just dropping this boy off.”
“Understood. Allow us to escort him, then.”
The elder nodded, and he floated back up to the skies on his wooden carriage. The soldiers quickly saluted him before they moved to surround Li Lang.
“Follow us.”
Li Lang nodded blankly and did as instructed. They moved right past the line, who were all gossiping amongst themselves while pointing at the strange big-headed child.
“Look, that’s him. The one that senior from the Clear Heart sect brought along.”
“What senior? He looked as old as my son to me.”
“What do you know, you old geezer? Experts can control their physical appearance somehow. He could be a hundred years old for all we know, as Foundation Establishment experts have a lifespan of five hundred years, after all!”
