Chapter 1273 Responsibility

“That’s for sure.”

After Wang Zhan patted Li Xiaomei’s head, he then spoke: “For now, don’t think about those things. Just take care of yourself and grow bit by bit, your path will naturally be laid out for you in the future.”

Li Xiaomei looked at Wang Zhan with gratitude. Being able to stay by Wang Zhan’s side might be the luckiest thing in his life.

Although he was once wandering without a home, ever since he met Wang Zhan, his situation has greatly changed. Now, he even has Tian Pavilion as his place of survival.

On the Star War Battlefield, there are too many displaced people here, and many have even lost their lives as a result. He is just considered one of the luckier ones.

Wang Zhan was still somewhat restless. After eating a bit, he looked at Li Xiaomei beside him and said, “I need to handle a few things now. You go play on your own, and don’t worry about me. Just think about making something delicious for yourself.”

Li Xiaomei nodded heavily, appearing very obedient.

In a flash, he was already heading towards the door.

And Wang Zhan didn’t stop his steps either, soon arriving at the Great Hall of the City Lord’s Mansion.

At this moment, Sword Spirit and Fire Qilin had also received Wang Zhan’s message, sitting to his left and right, looking at Wang Zhan with faces full of doubt.

They had just woken up when they heard Wang Zhan’s call, immediately rushing over without delay.

Fire Qilin looked at Wang Zhan, arms crossed and with a face full of doubt, said: “You’re calling us up first thing in the morning, and looking so serious. Did something happen?”

Now, Li Yuan Yi is waiting outside, so whatever they do needs caution.

The nearby Sword Spirit also looked at Wang Zhan with doubt, obviously waiting for Wang Zhan’s response.

Wang Zhan slightly squinted his eyes and then frowned and spoke: “I have a feeling, but I can’t tell exactly what happened. Even I find it hard to explain, but this restless feeling really makes me uncomfortable…”

“Quickly have someone check the formation outside, see if Li Yuan Yi is still trapped outside. Don’t let him take advantage of anything and infiltrate Tian Pavilion!”

“There are many companions inside Tian Pavilion, and we can’t let them suffer catastrophe. If that guy breaks into Tian Pavilion, it’s likely we won’t get out alive…”

Currently, Li Yuan Yi is like a mad man, no one knows what he might do, so Wang Zhan must be extremely cautious.

After all, the lives of so many are on his shoulders, he can’t gamble easily.

“Could it be you’re just overthinking?”

Fire Qilin was unmoved, instead shaking his head with a smile and continued: “Have you forgotten? You set up formation near the Eye of the Formation. If anyone approaches there, surely you’d know instantly and could rush over. We’d hear some commotion and there’d be no special circumstances!”

“Alright, there’s no disturbance in Tian Pavilion now. If we take major steps to check the Eye of the Formation, it might alert many people, causing uneasiness, so you should go back and have a good rest…”

Sword Spirit remained silent, clearly agreeing with Fire Qilin.

He too felt no difference.

Wang Zhan slightly squinted again and spoke: “I know you might not believe, but I have absolute confidence in my intuition. We should go check just in case, we can’t have any issues…”

“Also, I need to have a good chat with Xuan Yu about matters inside Tian Pavilion.”

Recently, Xuan Yu handled all matters inside Tian Pavilion.

Xuan Yu likely knows the key points within Tian Pavilion well.

Wang Zhan’s biggest worry is another betrayal; it could bring significant trouble.

Now everything must proceed securely to win, we can’t have any surprises.

“Alright, alright, since you insist, we’ll go check outside. If anything happens, we’ll notify you at once.”

“But don’t be overly suspicious, we’ll do it secretly, not alerting many people in Tian Pavilion.”

“Everyone has adapted to this life. Though we’re hiding in formation, people are spending time improving their cultivation. Tian Pavilion hasn’t felt this way for a while.”

Fire Qilin said, laughing.

Sword Spirit nodded along.

Most people in Tian Pavilion just want a refuge, and it is the best choice.

Not only is Wang Zhan friendly, but he also has many experts around. By staying in Tian Pavilion, it’s like finding a refuge on the Star War Battlefield, making worry unnecessary.

Even if one’s cultivation doesn’t improve quickly, they can remain undefeated.

After the two left, Wang Zhan slowly walked to the window, looking outside.

This time he felt nothing specifically, just a nameless worry that prompted him to act quickly, arranging everything.

Sword Spirit and Fire Qilin are his right hands, while unfamiliar with Tian Pavilion’s situation, everything must depend on them.

Only this way can Wang Zhan be fully reassured.

Soon, hurried footsteps were heard outside.

Upon getting the message, Xuan Yu rushed over, looking at Wang Zhan and promptly asked: “Mr. Wang, you called me here urgently, is something happened?”

“Hmm…”

Wang Zhan nodded, hesitated for a while, then pointed to the chair by his side and said: “Sit down first, let’s talk slowly.”

“Alright.”

Xuan Yu quickly responded.

After sitting down, Wang Zhan spoke again: “Talk to me about matters in Tian Pavilion.”

“I haven’t been inside Tian Pavilion for some time, so I’m not very familiar. But I’ve noticed you’ve gathered quite a few talents. I’d like to know more about them, are they all reliable?”

Following Wang Zhan’s guidance, yesterday Qin Feng was tirelessly refining his body under the waterfall.

Fortunately, he’s made some progress, his physique improved somewhat, and his body’s toughness is increasing steadily.

Though his cultivation hasn’t grown, with his enhanced physical strength, he finally gains the power to confront previously undefeatable foes.

So, he feels very grateful to Wang Zhan.

Upon hearing Wang Zhan’s inquiry, his gaze suddenly became serious, then quickly asked: “Mr. Wang, is it that some traitors appeared in Tian Pavilion? Or are you still concerned with Lei Tian?”

Wang Zhan shook his head and casually said: “You’re overthinking, I believe in your ability; Lei Tian was just an exception.”

“When I woke up today, I had an uneasy feeling as if something might happen. There are so many lives in Tian Pavilion entrusted to me, I must safeguard them…”

“That’s why I suddenly asked you about Tian Pavilion, to avoid unexpected situations and being caught off guard.”

Wang Zhan didn’t hide anything from Xuan Yu.

Given their place and relationship, formed together at Tian Pavilion’s start, no one else could compare to them.

After Xuan Yu hesitated, he took a sip of tea and said: “I understand your intentions, perhaps Mr. Wang fears a mixed crowd due to Tian Pavilion’s growing numbers…”

“But rest assured, Tian Pavilion’s recruitment is all person-to-person. Though strong Elder Officials don’t need complication, ordinary members require referrals or I won’t let them enter Tian Pavilion.”

Xuan Yu understands the reason.

He wouldn’t make such errors.

With too many in Tian Pavilion, chain reactions complicate things, so he must consider carefully, not blindly adding to Tian Pavilion.

After hearing his words, Wang Zhan satisfied somewhat, nodded and said: “Your reliable work reassures me, but things must be handled prudently. From now, stricter surveys on people entering Tian Pavilion ensure no threats.”

“After all, we shoulder great responsibility on ourselves.”
