CHAPTER 702 - HUA SAN AND HUA WU

The two brothers saw Jing Luo sitting at a table while working on something. There were a few components lying around that they couldn’t fully identify. The only thing they could tell was that they were of a high quality from the spirit Qi fluctuation that was coming from there.

"Thank you for giving us the chance to talk to you senior." The senior brother spoke.

"Mmmhmm... so who are you two?" Jing Luo questioned.

"I am Hua San and this is my fifth junior brother, Hua Wu. Both of us are direct disciples under sect master Hua of the Noon Grass Sect." The Hua San introduced.

"You took up his surname? He made you his legacy disciples?" Jing Luo asked, finding their names to be same.

"Indeed, senior. All of us were orphans before the sect master took us in from the secular world. We take up his surname to show our eternal gratitude. Our master is our father as well." Hua San answered.

"I see... seems like Sect Master Hua Dan had far more disciples than I thought... I’ve only ever seen his first disciple named Yi and the second disciple named Er." Jing Luo replied.

"You know eldest senior brother and senior sister?" Hua Wu was surprised.

"Hmmm, I’ve never met them but I believe my clan did have some interactions a few hundred years ago." Jing Luo spoke, elevating his status in the minds of the two.

"I see..." Hua San muttered, wondering if they had really lucked out today that they met an acquaintance of their master.

"May we know the name of senior?" Hua San questioned.

"I am Jing Luo... Heir of the Jing clan." Jing Luo answered.

"Jing Clan...?" Hua Wu muttered and tried to recall if he could remember the clan.

"THE JING CLAN!?" Hua San was shocked.

"If you mean the great weaponsmith Jing clan, then yes." Jing Luo confirmed.

"This... I never knew..." Hua San said, finding it hard to speak.

Hua Er, seeing his senior brother like this, was also quite surprised. He had not heard of the Jing clan and didn’t know their significance. But from his senior brother’s tone, he could tell that it was very important.

Hua Er felt curious and wanted to ask about the Jing clan, but knew that doing so while Jing Luo was here might be a bit rude to him. Thus, he kept his silence and decided to ask him later when they were alone.

While Hua San was surprised, Jing Luo was surprised as well. He had not expected that there would still be someone that remembered his clan. Till now they had actually tried to inquire and gather information about the Jing clan, but all of it had come empty.

Even Lin Mu had searched for information on the Jing clan in the Tri cauldron peony sect and the Hong Lin kingdom. He was unable to find the information in either of the places. Just from this, Lin Mu assumed that the information about the Jing clan was far more hidden than they had thought.

Jing Luo didn’t know how far the empire had gone in their attempt but knew that the sects must have had a hand in this obviously.

’If someone from the Noon Grass sect knows about my clan, then it means that the Noon Grass sect still maintained records about our clan. If they were involved in the extermination back then, they would have erased all of them.’ Jing Luo thought to himself.

He felt like they now had a sect that can be somewhat trusted, even if it was not fully assured and could change any moment, depending on whether Gu Yao manages to take control of others.

~huu~

Jing Luo took a deep breath, pushing aside these thoughts for now. He needed to focus on the task at hand and thus decided to talk.

"So what is it that you wanted to talk about?" Jing Luo questioned.

"Ah yes! We are in a little bit of a problem senior." Hua San replied.

"What kind of a problem?" Jing Luo asked.

"It’s like this..." Hua San then started to explain the complication that they had.

He told Jing Luo about their mission and why they came to Hong Lin kingdom and what the king wants. While the information about the King breaking through was confidential, he didn’t think it was necessary to hide it from Jing Luo.

After ten minutes, Hua San was finally done speaking, leaving Jing Luo to continue.

"Hmm... so you want someone to make a tribulation attenuation formation for you, so that the king can use it so that you can get the thousand year old Hong Lin wood." Jing Luo summarized.

"Yes senior." Hua San nodded his head.

"If I decided to help, what do I get?" Jing Luo asked.

"Anything within my capabilities, I shall offer senior." Hua San replied hurriedly.

"I’ll assist as well." Hua Wu added, not wanting to miss out.

"Hmm... I do need your help with something if you are willing to listen to a problem I have." Jing Luo said.

"Of course! Please do tell senior." Hua San replied.

"Very well... this thing is a bit sensitive and it would be better if you don’t let others know about it... for your own safety as well." Jing Luo said, making Hua San furrow his brows.

A serious expression appeared on Hua Wu’s face as well and the two disciples decided to listen on.

Jing Luo then explained to them about the threat about Gu Yao and how he has been controlling the sects and even the people from the imperial court. He told them about the truth behind the Zither wind alliance and the northern tribes.

It took Jing Luo two hours to explain it all and the two disciples were shaken after hearing all this. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

"No wonder master said not to interact with those from the sects asking for an alliance..." Hua San muttered in shock.
