Book 2: Chapter 15: I'm Late
Vol 2 ch 15: I'm Late
“Not leaving?”
Yu Longqing and Lu Mingrong exchanged glances, each frowning.
“I haven’t done anything wrong; why should I leave?” Zhang Xuan shook his head, reassuring them, “I appreciate your good intentions, but I have my reasons for staying.”
Running away wouldn’t solve the issue.
The other side represented the Destiny Hall. If he fled, it would confirm his label as a Chaotic Fate Practitioner, and the entire continent would begin hunting him down. If that happened, the only option left would be to hide, living like a fugitive. There would be no other paths left.
If he did that, not only would he lose his chance to clear his name, but saving Kong Shi would also become nearly impossible. He still had time to handle this, but who knew if Kong Shi could wait that long?
So, after thinking it over, the fastest solution was… if he couldn’t beat them, he’d join them!
If he could somehow prove he was a Destiny Master with a substantial background, then even if Ling Buyang was ambitious, he wouldn’t dare to make a move. There were even other benefits: First, he could use the opportunity to infiltrate the Destiny Hall and investigate Kong Shi’s whereabouts, preparing for his rescue. Second, he could obtain more Heaven's Fate Energy, accelerating his cultivation.
