The White-Bearded Enforcer's indifferent gaze swept across the faces of the young masters from the Nine Great Clans.
His eyes were not piercing, but the warning contained within them was apparent.
This person, this sword emperor, the future sword monarch and sword saint... I have already decided!
Who dares to compete with me?
Upon meeting his gaze, the young masters stood expressionless.
Ling Hanxue calmly said, “Elder Mu, since you have made your decision, we naturally won’t act improperly. It’s already late, so it’s better to get on with the business at hand.”
Everyone nodded in agreement, clearly in favor of Ling Hanxue’s words.
We are not foolish... the person you have decided upon, can we openly compete for them? At most, we’ll have our families intervene once we return home, or perhaps after leaving your sight, we may just destroy him without a trace!
The White-Bearded Enforcer snorted, shoving the jade pendant into Gu Duxing's hands, before turning to Dong Wushang, “You are Dong Wushang?”
Dong Wushang responded readily, “Yes! I was just about to go to the Upper Three Days to take a look!”
The White-Bearded Enforcer and the young masters from the Nine Great Clans were taken aback: This guy is really straightforward! He hasn’t even been asked a question yet. If it were anyone else, they’d be trying to put on airs to secure some benefits.
Seeing the law enforcer value you so highly, you could ask for whatever you wanted. Never have we seen such a fool...
This guy just blurted it all out.
Meanwhile, Dong Wulei felt a sudden warmth in her eyes, and a wave of guilt rushed over her heart: Wushang... is it for me? She lowered her head and sighed softly, feeling a pang of sorrow: I forced my own little brother away. I pushed him to the Upper Three Days...
“Good! Good!” The White-Bearded Enforcer couldn’t help but say “good” three times, “Since that’s the case, I’ll take you up with me.”
“But I have a request,” Dong Wushang stated bluntly.
Everyone was stunned: ! Turns out this guy isn’t foolish; he was waiting for this... now he has everyone hanging on his words, but what does he want...
“What request?” Elder Mu’s face twitched slightly.
“I’m going up to take a look, but I don’t necessarily have to join any organization,” Dong Wushang said boldly, “I’m straightforward, and if I do join, it can’t be now. After all, I need some foundation and achievements first...”
Everyone understood.
This guy looks honest, but he’s not foolish at all. Going up now, even if it's the blade emperor, he’s just an inconspicuous minion.
Once he gains some strength, his value will skyrocket.
The White-Bearded Enforcer laughed heartily, “That’s certainly not a problem! Even as law enforcers, we can’t force someone against their will.”
In his heart, he decided: once we go up, I’ll show sincerity to recruit you, and let you apprentice under a ninth-rank blade saint. Let's see if you’ll be willing to leave...
Little did he know, even if he called upon a ninth-rank supreme blade to be Dong Wushang’s master, Dong Wushang might scoff at it...
“I have another request!” Dong Wushang said.
“Another request?” The White-Bearded Enforcer was surprised.
Wushang stood his ground and declared, “If I go to the Upper Three Days, my wife must go too!” Behind him, Mo Lei Er’s face flushed red as she hid behind him, secretly pinching his waist hard.
Wife? When did I become your wife? How vulgar and unpleasant...
Dong Wushang remained stoic amidst the awkwardness, though the muscles on his dark face twitched uncontrollably.
“Uh, that should be fine,” the White-Bearded Enforcer replied, relieved. It’s not like it’s a big deal to bring your wife, right? Besides, why would I stop you from bringing her?
“My brother also wants to go and take a look,” Dong Wushang pulled Rui Butong over, “He wants to go up and find some medicine... I have an ailment.”
Rui Butong, who had come out excitedly, suddenly lowered his head deeply upon hearing that last line, almost burying his face in his lap.
