Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

After pondering for a moment, Lin Shen decided to accept the mission.

He had just returned from training outside and didn't plan to go out of the city for the time being. Coincidentally, this mission was not dangerous, so he treated it as a vacation.

Moreover, he also wanted to see how the Martial Enforcement Hall captured criminals on the spot.

After accepting the mission and chatting with Jiao Yu for a while, Lin Shen prepared to exchange for martial techniques and enchanted armaments.

With a large amount of merit points in hand, he could exchange all the martial techniques and enchanted armaments he had been longing for!

At the thought of this, Lin Shen's footsteps became lighter.

However, before he could walk out of the door, he saw a person rushing into the hall aggressively. He strode towards the counter and slammed his palm on the counter.

"I want to take on a mission, the one from the Martial Enforcement Hall!"

Jiao Yu obviously knew the person. Hearing this, she looked troubled said helplessly,

"Senior Brother Leng, Master Leng has made it very clear that you're not allowed to accept any missions that involve combat. Don't make things difficult for me."

The young man addressed as Senior Brother Leng was furious when he heard that. He slammed the counter again.

"I'm a disciple of the academy. I have the right to accept missions.

What right do you have to stop me?"

"Rut that's what vonr father. Mascter Teno. aid T a ) Sram eva sawn OD) wrasse ann

"I don't care!"

Senior Brother Leng interrupted Jiao Yu impatiently and said arrogantly,

"In any case, I have to accept the recruitment mission of the Martial Execution Hall today. If you don't process it for me, I won't be so polite anymore!"

Jiao Yu frowned and hesitated for a few seconds. In the end, she gritted her teeth and said in a low voice,

"I'm sorry, Senior Brother Leng. I can't go against Master Leng's orders."

"You!!!"

Senior Brother Leng was furious and raised his hand to slap Jiao Yu.

The girl didn't expect Senior Brother Leng would really attack her. Her beautiful face immediately turned pale, and she subconsciously closed her eyes.

However, after waiting for a few seconds, she didn't feel the expected pain.

Jiao Yu opened her eyes in confusion. Only then did she realize that Senior Brother Leng's wrist was tightly held, and he couldn't move.

It was Lin Shen who made a move in time and stopped Senior Brother Leng.

"If you really have the guts, go to your father and ask him to cancel the order. What's the point of bullying a girl?"

Lin Shen shook off Senior Brother Leng's wrist and took a step forward to shield Jiao Yu. He looked at the latter indifferently.

"And who are you? Why are you so nosy?"

Senior Brother Leng rubbed his wrist and glared at Lin Shen.

"Get out of my way, or I won't be so polite!"

Lin Shen didn't give in. He still stood there calmly.

Seeing this, anger surged in Senior Brother Leng's eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "Very well. In that case, I'll..."

"You'll what?!"

He was cut off by someone with a deep voice.

Everyone was shocked and turned to look in the direction of the speaker. Only then did they realize that someone else had joined them.

The person was about 40 years old. He had a meager face and energetic eyes. He was wearing a black robe and exuded an extraordinary aura.

When Senior Brother Leng saw who it was, he wasn't arrogant and furious just now. He looked like he had been splashed with cold water.

His shoulders slumped, and he stammered, unable to speak.

At the same time, Jiao Yu let out a low cry.

"Master Leng!"

Lin Shen looked at the person and realized the latter was Senior Brother Leng's father.

Master Leng glanced at Jiao Yu and Lin Shen. His gaze paused on Lin Shen for a moment before he nodded at him. Without saying anything, he turned around and left the hall.

"Come with me!"

Senior Brother Leng said nothing and left the hall dejectedly like a defeated rooster.

Watching the two of them disappear at the entrance of the hall, Lin Shen shook his head to himself.

What a strange pair of father and son.

Turning around, Lin Shen realized that Jiao Yu was looking at him with sparkling eyes.

"Senior Brother Lin, you were so awesome just now! Thank you for helping me!"

"It's nothing."

Lin Shen waved his hand and casually asked, "What's with that guy just now?"

Jiao Yu came back to her senses and stuck out her tongue in the direction where Senior Brother Leng had left. She made a face and replied,

"That was Leng Xing. He's the son of Master Leng. His father doesn't allow him to accept any battle-related missions, so he comes here from time to time to cause trouble."

"Why is that?"

Lin Shen was very surprised.

Why would a father do that?

Cultivation wasn't something that could be achieved by diligent effort.

Fighting and killing were also indispensable!

The cultivation of many martial techniques required one to comprehend through battles. Therefore, many cultivators took the initiative to enter places densely populated with spiritual beasts in order to obtain an epiphany between life and death and break through the bottleneck.

Fighting was also a part of cultivation.

Wouldn't it delay his son's improvement if Master Leng didn't allow his son to participate in battles?

Moreover, Leng Guangting was a tutor. Logically speaking, he should know that better than other people.

"Everyone is guessing that it has something to do with Master Leng's deceased eldest son!"

Jiao Yu said in a mysterious tone,

"Master Leng's eldest son is also a disciple of the academy. However, he went missing two years ago when he entered the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range to train. We haven't been able to find any traces of him until now. We can basically confirm that he's dead. After that, Master Leng has only one son, Leng Xing.

"Perhaps he doesn't want his only son to die in danger again. Master Leng strictly forbids Leng Xing from accepting any missions that are slightly more dangerous. Everyone in the academy knows about this."

Lin Shen was stunned.

He didn't expect there to be such a reason..
