In a shrub at the base of Stone Gate Peak, Tang Jie lay on his back, his hands pillowed behind him, his eyes narrowed in thought.
Interestingly, next to him were Wei Tianchong, Peng Yaolong, and Qi Shaoming. Just like him, they were boredly sitting around, though the other Basking Moon disciples had gone elsewhere. Nearby, Shi Jingzhai was dumbly sitting.
After some time, a streak of fire flew out of the distance, flying toward Tang Jie and the others, where it burst apart into a message. After reading the words, both Wei Tianchong and Qi Shaoming smiled. “Success.”
Tang Jie was unmoved. Standing up, he said, “Since that’s all settled, it’s our turn now. Old Shi, you stay there and don’t move.”
“Oh,” Shi Jingzhai replied, his gaze slack.
Tang Jie made his way up Stone Gate Peak, the other three following close behind.
A disciple received them at the base and led them up the mountain. When they reached the summit, another disciple welcomed them. “So it is Junior Brother Tang of the Basking Moon Sect! Junior Brother Tang, did you not already finish surveying the mine and headed back to report on your mission? To what do we owe your visit?”
Tang Jie replied, “I have something I need to meet with Sect Master Qiu about.”
“Allow me to report this,” the disciple said, withdrawing.
Peng Yaolong grunted, “Putting on an act! With his strength, he should have already known that we were coming, but he pretends to not know. It’s probably as you say, and he really does have a guilty conscience.”
Tang Jie chuckled. “Guilty conscience or not, everything’s fine so long as he’s willing to meet us.”
“And if he’s not?” Wei Tianchong asked.
Without the official mission of the Basking Moon Sect to back them up, Qiu Shuyu was completely in his rights to refuse them.
Tang Jie’s expression sank. “He’s still a Celestial Heart cultivator. If he doesn’t even have the courage to meet someone, what sort of Dao is he cultivating, and what is he striving for?”
A few moments later.
The disciple hastened back and gave Tang Jie a deep bow. “The sect master invites Young Master Tang to see him.”
Tang Jie noticed that this disciple had changed his form of address.
He smiled. “Only me?”
The disciple trembled. “Young Master, please forgive me. The sect master did not mention your martial brothers.”
Tang Jie nodded and turned his head. “Then you guys wait for me here.”
Peng Yaolong grabbed him and said, “No, it’s too dangerous for you to go alone.”
Tang Jie smiled. “Senior Brother, relax. Stone Gate Peak is a beautiful place, and Sect Master Qiu’s title as the Mountain Water True Person is no empty one. He would never allow blood to drench this land red.”
He patted Yiyi, who understood and jumped from his shoulder to Wei Tianchong’s.
Tang Jie said, “Yiyi and I are mentally linked. Use her if you need to send me a message.”
Peng Yaolong let his hand go and took several steps back.
Tang Jie followed that disciple.
