C280 (1/2)

There was nothing left to linger in Tianye City, so I had to continue south.

Even though he was now a rich man, he didn't want to make any rash moves with his wealth. Ancient man, the heavens had given a great responsibility to the rich, it was necessary for him to first suffer, work hard, starve … I don't want to enjoy myself with this money. Only by tempering my body and mind will I be able to make progress.

Thus, on the journey south, I decided to take the path of an ascetic monk. This way, I would be able to increase my knowledge, be more able to sightsee, travel ten thousand miles as if I were reading ten thousand books.

With this, I wobbled out of South Sky City, planning to find a place to stay.

However, what I didn't expect was that just as I left South Sky City, I received a call. It was from an old acquaintance, and we had just said our goodbyes yesterday.

The caller was Li Shujie, who was with me at the Xue family medicine store, recuperating from his injuries.

When I received his call, I felt it was a bit strange. I immediately asked, ”Brother Li, why did you call me?”

Li You Jie seemed to be a little anxious and ignored all the greetings. He directly asked me, ”Brother Tian Luo, where are you now?”

”I just left the Heavenly Justice District. What's wrong? Do you still want to treat me to a drink?” I joked.

”We have plenty of opportunities to drink alcohol in the future, but I have something that I want to ask for your help with. I wonder if Brother Tian Luo is willing to agree?” Li Shujie's voice was very urgent, as if there really was something important to discuss.

After hearing what he said, I immediately restrained my smile. ”Brother Li, we have a close relationship. If there's anything you need my help with, feel free to speak. If I can do it, I'll do my best to help.”

It looks like I made this call in time, and the matter is like this, you should know the situation last time, in order to deal with Zheng Lingye and the others, we in the Profound Sky City's special investigation team suffered heavy losses, several experts have been killed in this mission, and they are clearly lacking in manpower, but there are very few cultivators in the entire Profound Sky City, and recently there is a problem, so I wanted to ask for your help, but don't worry, it's not a temporary help, I just don't know if Brother Tian Luo is interested?

”What is going on? Can you tell me in advance? ” I asked curiously.

”This matter is still unclear over the phone. Where are you right now? Give me a specific location. I'll send someone to pick you up later. We'll talk when we get there, what do you think?” Li Shujie said again.

”Alright, I've just left the Heavenly City.” Then I looked up and saw a gas station nearby. There was a kiosk next to the gas station, so I gave him the address and waited for him at the door of the kiosk.
