Chapter 187: Natural Mutants [Subscription Request]

Every country has its own laws and every religion has its own rules.

The Hualong Sect is such a large sect, so the rules are naturally strict.

This time Zhou Chun violated the sect's rules. Not only did he lose all the spiritual coins he had obtained after joining the Hualong Sect, he also had to endure two hundred lashes of poisonous whips.

The poisonous whip that lashed him was a special magical weapon that could easily draw bloody marks on his body.

Moreover, this poisonous whip also contains a mixed toxin that can greatly intensify the pain felt by the person being whipped, making it more painful than pouring salt on the wound.

After being lashed with whips two hundred times, Zhou Chun was almost half dead. There was no intact skin or flesh on his chest, back, arms and thighs!
The pain was so severe that even the one he had experienced when he had drawn golden energy into his body to temper his meridians was no match for it.

At the same time, due to the effects of the toxin, even though Zhou Chun applied healing medicine to himself afterwards, the wound did not heal for many days.

After suffering from pain for a whole month, he was finally able to walk again.

"Xiao Hu, Xiao Hu, I got beaten for you this time. You must do better next time!"

In the yard, Zhou Chun was leaning back on an armchair, holding the tiger cub, which was already the size of a normal hound, in his arms. He was feeding it with animal milk while gently stroking its furry head.

Just as he said, if it weren't for the little tiger cub, Guan Cheng would have no reason to beat him up even if he had a bad preconceived impression of him.

However, because the tiger cub currently has no ability to survive outside and cannot be kept in a spirit beast bag, he can only choose to take it back to the gate of the branch mountain to take care of it, which gives Guan Cheng a legitimate reason to beat him up.

There are also the 10,000 spiritual coins issued by the Dragon Transformation Sect, which are also the price paid for this.

However, the little tiger cub, who had just opened his eyes, had no idea how much his owner had paid for him.

It held the bottle in Zhou Chun's hand tightly with its claws and greedily sucked the delicious honey milk inside, as if it would never be full.

Indeed, compared with the milk produced by a second-level top-grade monster like the winged tiger, the nutritional value of the milk of ordinary wild beasts is indeed much lower, and can only be compensated by quantity.

But fortunately, this will not have much impact on the growth of the tiger cubs.

After Zhou Chun fed the tiger cub, he let it lie on the animal skin mat to rest, and then he looked at it sleeping soundly and fell into deep thought.

At first, Zhou Chun thought the little tiger cub was just an ordinary winged tiger.

But after more than a month of feeding, as the tiger cub grew gradually and its fur color began to change, he made a different discovery.

The little tiger cub now has bright yellow and golden fur, and is showing signs of changing into the same color as its father, the golden sword tiger.

Even its pair of curled wings that had not yet grown out had light golden fur.

The wings of the winged tiger are not like the wing membranes of a bat, but are like the wings of an eagle, but there are no feathers on them, only long manes.

However, the adult winged tiger that Zhou Chun had seen before had dark green fur on its body.

This huge difference in fur color made Zhou Chun suspect that this little tiger cub was not a purebred winged tiger, but a natural mutant.

The so-called natural mutants, as the name suggests, are mutant monsters from birth.

This natural mutant species is extremely rare, much rarer than mutant monsters like the golden-armored rock turtle.

Generally speaking, the probability of this kind of natural mutant appearing among low-level monsters is much greater than that among mid-level and high-level monsters.

In the Zhou family's more than one thousand years of history, there have been several examples of such natural mutants, all of which appeared on low-level monsters.

What is similar is that most of them are similar to tiger cubs, and their parents are monsters of the same species with different power attributes.

Similarly, in terms of strength, natural mutants are generally much stronger than their normal counterparts.

Basically, the strength of natural mutants can match that of monsters of the same level of a higher race.

That is to say, if the tiger cub grows into a second-level monster, then when it is at the second level, it will possess the strength of a high-level monster at the second level.

However, the bloodline level of natural mutants has not been substantially improved.

Even if the tiger cub is a natural mutant, it still has the blood of an intermediate-level demon beast and will not directly become the blood of a high-level demon beast.

Moreover, this mutant bloodline cannot be passed on. Even if it has next generation in the future, it will either be a winged tiger or a golden sword tiger.

But even so, for Zhou Chun, it was a treasure.

"Whether it is truly a natural mutant or not, we will know when its bloodline awakens and it masters magic."

Muttering to himself, Zhou Chun stopped thinking about it.

What he needs to worry about now is how to inform Qinglian Temple and his family about his current situation, at least to let them know where they have been assigned.

However, the Golden Dragon Branch was too far away from the Yunzhou border, and the several methods of contact they had planned were now unusable.

The control of the Hualong Sect over its emissaries is much stricter than the control of the Qinglian Temple over its inner disciples.

New envoys like Zhou Chun are allowed to go out on adventures alone, but they are not allowed to be away for more than three days at a time. If they do not return after the deadline, the consequences will be serious.

Only those envoys trained by the Hualong Sect themselves can be given a longer period of time to go out.

This kind of hierarchical control is obviously specially set up to prevent the enemy from planting undercover spies.

And this trick is indeed effective, at least for Zhou Chun.

"Let's wait a little longer. After Baibai is out of his weakness, I'll try to find a mission that will allow me to go out for a long time."

With a gleam in his eyes, Zhou Chun decided to play it safe and wait for the Silver Lightning Python to recover before considering the connection.

His biggest trump card now is the trick of "Ancestors' Resurrection". Without this trick, it would be very dangerous for him to travel alone in this wilderness.

But what Zhou Chun didn't expect was that less than three months after he was beaten, the great protector Guan Cheng assigned him a new task.

"According to the time, your injury should be almost healed. It just so happens that the White Dragon Branch Temple has recently gathered a group of new believers who were transferred from the main temple to our branch temple. You and the other two envoys will go there and bring those new believers back to the branch temple safely."

In the cave, Guan Cheng looked Zhou Chun up and down, then told him in a calm tone why he called him over this time.

Upon hearing the news, Zhou Chun's heart couldn't help but move.

Qinglian Temple had given him several contact information, and one of them happened to be available at the Bailong branch.

This mission came at a good time.

However, he showed an embarrassment on his face and said, "Master Protector, please understand that although my external injuries have healed, my spirit pet has not yet recovered from its weakness. I am afraid that my own strength is insufficient and it will delay the important matters of the sect!"

"I know your strength well. Even without the help of your spirit pet, you are no worse than an ordinary cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. You are more than capable of taking on this task."

Guan Cheng waved his hands and ignored his excuses.

Li Tianxing, the leader of the Golden Dragon Hall, also said that he would assign more tasks to Zhou Chun to test his ability.

This escort of new believers is a good test.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately lowered his head and responded in a deep voice: "Since the Lord Protector trusts me so much, I will do my best to do this well."

"Then go down and prepare first, and leave with the team tomorrow."

"Yes, I obey."

The next day, Zhou Chun, who had finished getting ready, left the Golden Dragon Temple gate with the tiger cub on his back, and rode a red-eyed dragon eagle to the White Dragon Temple with two other emissaries.

Now the little tiger cub is still young and has only a trace of spiritual power in its body, so it is not suitable to be kept in the spirit beast bag and raised.

Zhou Chun was worried about leaving it alone in the Golden Dragon Altar, so he had to take it with him when he went out.

The tiger cub, which is only over three months old, already weighs thirty or forty kilograms. It really looks weird to carry it on the back like this.

Therefore, not long after he left the mountain gate, a teacher who was traveling with him looked at him and said, "I heard that Teacher Zhou was beaten with 200 poisonous whips because of this winged tiger cub a while ago?"

"Yes, the Guardian Law believed that Zhou had embezzled the public property of the church by contracting the winged tiger cub privately, so he was fined 10,000 spirit coins and 200 poison whips."

Zhou Chun nodded and admitted it frankly.

Then he changed the subject and looked at the emissary who asked him, "Emissary Yang, tell me, if you were in Zhou's shoes, would you choose to bring the cub back to the guardian, or make a contract yourself first?"

"This……"

The missionary's face changed when Zhou Chun asked him the question, and he remained silent for a long time.

Zhou Chun couldn't help but smile when he saw this, then turned to look at another emissary and asked, "What about Emissary Song? If it were you, what would you do?"

He used the honorific "you" because this Sect Envoy Song was a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage and the leader of their trip.

After hearing his words, the Song envoy said with a serious face: "If it were me, I would of course offer the winged tiger cub to the guardian."

Hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately laughed at himself and said, "Haha, it seems that I was indeed wrong, and I don't deserve the beating!"

Upon hearing this, the Song envoy said in a deep voice, "Of course it's not unfair! I would like to advise the Zhou envoy that since you have joined our sect, you should follow the sect's rules in the future. Don't think of yourself as a casual cultivator who only considers yourself in everything!"

"I have remembered the teachings of Master Song."

Zhou Chun nodded and said nothing more.

But he was quite satisfied in his heart.

At least from the words of this Master Song, these masters had no doubts about his original identity as a casual cultivator.

In this way, as long as he continues to behave like a casual cultivator in certain matters in the future, the suspicion of people like Guan Cheng and Li Tianxing towards him should gradually diminish.

After all, a real undercover agent cannot be a casual cultivator.

The straight-line distance between the Golden Dragon Branch and the White Dragon Branch is two to three thousand miles, but it is impossible for Zhou Chun and his team to fly in a straight line.

Because there are not only second-level monsters in the wilderness, there are also third-level monsters and even fourth-level monsters!
Some areas where third-level and fourth-level monsters are active are restricted areas that the monks of the Dragon Transformation Sect dare not enter.

Moreover, most of these monsters are protected by the Jiaolong clan in Longyuanze, and the high-level monks of the Dragon Transformation Sect are not allowed to slaughter them at will.

Therefore, when you encounter a place where such high-level monsters are lurking ahead, you need to take a detour.

Fortunately, Zhou Chun and his group were accompanied by three foundation-building cultivators this time. Even though the journey was long, with the reference of a map, the danger was not very great.

After riding the red-eyed dragon eagle for three days, the three arrived at the White Dragon Altar.

The White Dragon Branch is also a branch of the Dragon Transformation Sect that has been established for many years. Like the Green Dragon Branch, there is also a large mortal settlement area outside it, with no less than one million mortals living there.

Zhou Chun and the other two entered the Bailong branch temple, handed over the handwritten letter and token from the great protector Guan Cheng, and were then led by a Bailongtang missionary to a courtyard inside the branch temple.

Then he pointed to the courtyard and said, "There are a total of 67 new believers here, most of whom were brought here from outside. You three must be more careful on the way and don't let anything happen to them, otherwise you will have to bear the responsibility!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun and the other two looked at each other, and then the Song envoy said, "We understand this, but we have not had a good rest all the way. Can you allow us to rest before coming to pick up the people?"

"That's no problem."

The White Dragon Hall missionary responded and immediately took the three people to the rest area in the branch temple and arranged a room for them to rest.

The various branches of the Hualong Sect both cooperate and compete with each other.

Take Zhou Chun and other monks from the Golden Dragon Branch as an example. After leaving the Golden Dragon Branch, they do not have the right to enter and exit any other branch at will.

If you want to get supplies and rest, you must first apply for approval.

However, as long as you successfully enter the branch altar to rest, you can still walk in many public areas.

For example, a shop where you can buy elixirs and talismans.

After Zhou Chun had recovered his magical powers through meditation, he went to the next yard to meet the Song envoy.

"Escort Song, I want to go to the pharmacy to buy some [Hui Yuan Dan] and healing pills. Do you want to go with me?"

Hearing his words, Master Song immediately waved his hand and said, "No need. I still have a lot of these two medicines left. Master Zhou, go by yourself."

"Zhou knows."

Zhou Chun nodded, and immediately went to the small market in the White Dragon branch alone.

There are almost no independent cultivators in the Hualong Sect, so naturally there are no large-scale markets. However, each branch has established a small internal market inside the mountain gate for transactions between the sect's members and their vassal immortal cultivation families.

The spiritual coins they issue can only be used in this kind of internal small market.

However, although the market is small, the quality of the goods is not necessarily worse than those large markets in Jingguo.

You can even buy many things that are not sold publicly in large markets.

Before Zhou Chun paid the double fine, he had thought about using the tens of thousands of spirit coins in his hands to fleece the Hualong Sect.

Unfortunately, before he could implement this plan, all the spirit coins were confiscated.

Now he had less than a thousand spirit coins issued by the Hualong Sect, which he exchanged for with Fengguo's spirit coins. At this time, he walked into the small market of the White Dragon Branch Temple, wandered around for a while, and then walked into the only medicine shop in the market.

The store was not small. When Zhou Chun entered, two or three shop assistants standing behind the door came out and one of them bowed to him and said, "I am your humble servant, Your Excellency. What do you need?"

"This is my first time visiting your White Dragon branch, and I don't know what kind of medicine you have here. In addition to the [Hui Yuan Dan], please tell me about all the healing pills you have in your store."

As Zhou Chun was talking about his needs, he seemed to have remembered something and asked, "By the way, do you have any three-hundred-year-old Gan Yuzhi?"

Upon hearing this, the clerk immediately bowed and said, "Please forgive me, sir. I am ignorant and have never heard of the medicinal herb Gan Yuzhi."

But just as he finished speaking, another shop assistant next to him suddenly said, "Ganyuzhi is a special spiritual medicine that grows in the bushes on the mountains. It tastes sweet and has a warm nature. It is an excellent spiritual medicine for restoring vitality. Even if our store purchases this kind of spiritual medicine, it generally will not be sold."

At this point, the waiter also bowed to Zhou Chun and said, "If you need this item, Master Emissary, I'm afraid you can only use the contribution points within the church to ask the guardians for an exchange."

"Is that so? I understand. Then you will entertain me."

Zhou Chun nodded slightly, and immediately walked towards the compartment in the pharmacy that was reserved for customers to rest.

The guy he named gave an apologetic smile to the guy at the beginning and followed Zhou Chun into the compartment.

After the two entered the compartment, Zhou Chun looked at the waiter and said, "Since you know Gan Yuzhi, you should know what type of healing pills this envoy needs. Pick up some medium-priced pills and tell me about them!"

"Yes, I obey."

The waiter responded and immediately introduced to Zhou Chun the various healing pills in the store that could restore vitality.

After hearing what he said, Zhou Chun immediately asked him to bring several samples of elixirs for inspection.

After checking it out, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, not bad. The quality of the things is even better than what I bought in those pharmacies in Feng Country. That's all."

Then he left more than 700 spirit coins and took away three [Huiyuan Pills] and some healing spirit pills.

The next day, after a good rest, Zhou Chun, together with the two envoys Song and Yang, went to meet the sixty-seven new believers and led them to the Golden Dragon branch temple.

In the wilderness where the grass was taller than a person, three blue-black giant lizards over six feet long were running quickly on the ground. A huge red-eyed dragon vulture was flying above the heads of the lizards.

The blue-black monitor lizard is called the Dragon Claw Monitor Lizard, and it is also a kind of demon beast tamed by the Dragon Transformation Cult.

They have great stamina and can carry a lot of weight. They can carry 20 to 30 people and travel hundreds of miles a day in the wilderness.

Now Zhou Chun and his team are using these three dragon-clawed giant lizards to transport the new believers.

To be honest, Zhou Chun was extremely envious of the Hualong Sect's wide variety of magical beasts.

Although the Zhou family is also a beast taming family, the beast taming skills are passed down from generation to generation.

However, when it comes to real competition in this area, they are still far behind the Hualong Sect.

The Hualong Sect, which possesses countless resources in the wilderness, would achieve results far beyond what the Zhou family could achieve even if it made a slight effort in this area.

Zhou Chun now even has an idea that after he has truly established a foothold in the Hualong Sect, he will try to see if he can get the eggs of the Red-eyed Dragon Vulture or the Dragon-clawed Monitor Lizard and send them back to the Zhou family for incubation and cultivation.

Now that the Zhou family has Zhou Daoyi's Green Dragon, they have all the conditions needed to cultivate these dragon-born monsters.

To take a step back, even if you can't get these two types of monster eggs, you can try to get some monster eggs of the same species before they were alienated, and then go back to the Zhou family and use the Green Dragon to slowly alienate the hatched monsters.

In short, the Zhou family must find a way to get a share of the resources in this wilderness!

After walking in the wilderness for a whole day, at night Zhou Chun and his team set up camp and rested.

"Master, your barbecue is ready."

It was a hazy night and Zhou Chun was holding the tiger cub with his eyes closed when he suddenly heard a report from outside the tent.

"come in."

He responded with his mouth, and then saw a middle-aged man walk in with a large plate of barbecue on a wooden board.

The barbecue was still steaming and smelled delicious.

After Zhou Chun sniffed the aroma of meat, he looked at the middle-aged man and ordered, "Try a few pieces first."

"Yes, I obey."

The middle-aged man responded and immediately placed the plate on the wooden table inside the tent. He then used a knife to cut off a few slices of the barbecue and tried them.

After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, Zhou Chun saw that there was nothing unusual about the middle-aged man, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go down."

"Yes, I am resigning."

After the middle-aged man left, Zhou Chun immediately stepped forward and started enjoying the barbecue.

But after he ate a few pieces, his eyes suddenly focused and he looked at the wooden plate below.

There were two lines of small characters as big as rice grains on the wooden plate.

"Please call me into the tent tomorrow night. I have something important to tell you."

interesting!
Looking at the two lines of small words on the wooden plate, a faint smile appeared on Zhou Chun's face.

After he finished eating the barbecue, he took the wooden plate and walked towards the tent of the Song envoy.

"Escort Song, the believer who just brought me barbecue left this thing for me. What do you think he meant by this?"

Inside the tent, Zhou Chun and Envoy Song exchanged a few polite words, then without further ado, pointed out the small words on the wooden plate and stated their purpose.

"Is there still this?"

Teacher Song was stunned at first, then looked at the small words on it.

After reading this, his expression changed quickly, and he said in a deep voice: "Song knows. In my opinion, that person is likely to be an undercover sent by the enemy of our sect. Envoy Zhou might as well pretend to be friendly with him first to see what he wants to say! After we return to the branch temple, we will ask the guardian to deal with it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately said, "What Envoy Song said is very interesting. If he was an undercover sent by our enemies, why would he look for Zhou? Does he think Zhou is also an undercover?"

"This one……"

The Song envoy's expression changed slightly, and he was speechless for a moment.

Zhou Chun continued, "I am not a fool, otherwise I would not have cultivated to this level as a casual cultivator!"

"Please tell the guardian that he suspects Zhou is an undercover agent. This is understandable. After all, there are not many foundation-building cultivators like Zhou who are willing to take the initiative and risk their lives to join our sect!"

"But please don't insult Zhou's intelligence. It's better not to use such simple tricks in the future!"

After saying this, he turned around and left the tent without caring about Envoy Song's reaction.

Seeing Zhou Chun leaving like that, Master Song's expression suddenly turned ugly.

In fact, this test of Zhou Chun was indeed arranged by the Song envoy.

However, it was only after he arrived at the White Dragon branch that he received this task from the guardian of the White Dragon branch.

After receiving the task, he was quite happy. He thought that since Guan Cheng would pass the task to him through the White Dragon Protector, it just showed his trust in him.

In his heart, he hoped to find out whether Zhou Chun was really an undercover agent, so that he could subdue and capture the undercover agent on the spot and make a great contribution to the sect.

But the reality was far from what he expected.

Now, not only did his test fail to achieve the result he wanted, but he was ruthlessly exposed by Zhou Chun in front of him and slapped him hard.

How could this make him feel good?

During the next few days of the journey, Envoy Song always had a gloomy face and rarely communicated with Zhou Chun.

This made Master Yang, who was unaware of the situation, full of confusion. He didn't understand what conflict had occurred between the two that led to such a situation.

What Master Song didn't know was that Zhou Chun had already made contact with the people from Qinglian Temple when he was at the Bailong branch temple.

The guy he met in the pharmacy that day was the undercover agent planted by Qinglian Temple into the Hualong Sect a few years ago.

By the time he and Envoy Song escorted the ordinary followers across mountains and rivers and returned safely to the Golden Dragon Branch, his news finally reached Qinglian Temple.

"So he was sent to the newly established Golden Dragon Branch? No wonder there has been no news for such a long time!"

Inside the Qinglian Temple, the temple master Qing Weizi looked at the latest undercover intelligence and her eyes narrowed slightly.

As an undercover agent who is relatively respected, he has always been paying attention to Zhou Chun's whereabouts.

But before this, no one had been able to connect with Zhou Chun.

Now someone has finally got in touch with Zhou Chun, but the information sent back is not good news.

This also gave him a headache.

In fact, it was not just Zhou Chun who was in a bad situation. The other undercover agents planted by Qinglian Temple were also not progressing smoothly.

The top leaders of Hualong Sect are not stupid. They certainly know that the various factions of Jingguo will place undercover agents into the sect, so they are very cautious in this regard.

All the foundation-building cultivators who came over, whether they did so on their own initiative or were introduced by the missionaries of the Hualong Sect, would be strictly controlled and not given too much trust.

Like Zhou Chun, many people were exploited as coolies and were constantly assigned various tasks to do.

The people who can truly gain the trust of the Hualong Sect's top leaders are the followers who have been trained by their own sect since childhood.

The reason why they are now actively recruiting monks from outside is just to throw the dirty work to these people so that those trustworthy believers can practice with peace of mind.

After all, the place where the Hualong Sect is located has no independent cultivators or a large number of small and medium-sized immortal cultivation families that can be exploited.

However, even though they knew that the people sent in this way would not be able to gain the trust of the top leaders of the Hualong Sect in a short period of time, the Qinglian Temple had no other options.

After all, if one starts to support and train a cultivator from the Qi Refining Stage, it will take too long for a cultivator to successfully build his foundation and reach the level where he can access the confidential matters of the Hualong Sect.

Moreover, Qi Refining cultivators themselves do not have many opportunities to travel far away from the branch temples within the Hualong Sect, which means that one has to rack their brains in order to give them reasonable "opportunities".

The manpower and material resources spent are even less cost-effective than sending Foundation Establishment cultivators to act as undercover agents now.

"Ah! It seems that if we want to count on these undercover agents to play a big role, I'm afraid the hope is slim. Now we can only hope that the ancestors can gain something!"

Qing Weizi couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and immediately called Taoist Mingxia over, told her the news about Zhou Chun, and asked her to pass it on to the Zhou family.

Within two days, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi also learned that Zhou Chun was assigned to the Golden Dragon Hall.

After receiving the news, the two were both happy and worried.

Zhou Mingde immediately said, "According to Daoist Mingxia, the Golden Dragon Hall where Zhengchun is now is a newly established hall of the Hualong Sect. It is also located deep in the wilderness, very far from the border of Yunzhou!"

"This result may not be a bad thing for Zhengchun!"

"Being in a remote location, he won't be exposed to any confidential matters, which reduces the risk of exposure."

"It's just that his magic weapons are all left in the family. I'm afraid it will have a great impact on his strength. We have to find a way to send these things to him!"

When Zhou Daoyi heard what he said, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, not only should the magic weapon be delivered to Zhengchun as soon as possible, but Zhengyuan should also start refining the demon spirit pill as soon as possible."

“If a pure silver electric thunder python can be promoted to a second-level intermediate-grade demon beast, and he then performs the secret technique of “Ancestor Revival”, it will be difficult for anyone in the foundation-building stage to threaten him.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingde immediately said, "Then Daoyi, go and urge Zhengyuan. He was able to successfully build his foundation this time entirely because of Zhengchun. Now it's time for him to repay Zhengchun."

"I will go and talk to him right away."

Zhou Daoyi responded and immediately left Pagoda Peak and headed for Baiyao Peak.

At that time, because Zhou Chun agreed to be an undercover agent, Qinglian Temple not only helped the Zhou family to withstand the pressure from the Lingzhou Jiang family and Tianjing Villa, but also rewarded the Zhou family with a foundation-building pill.

This foundation-building pill enabled Zhou Zhengyuan from Baiyao Peak to successfully build his foundation, making him the eighth foundation-building cultivator of the Zhou family.

Originally, after successfully building his foundation, Zhou Zhengyuan was busy practicing a new technique and had no time to start refining the elixir.

But now the clan leader Zhou Daoyi came to visit him in person and asked him to successfully refine the Demon Spirit Pill within a year.

Although Zhou Daoyi did not explain the reason, this request made Zhou Zhengyuan feel great pressure.

He looked at Zhou Daoyi's solemn face, which did not seem to allow for negotiation, and could only bite the bullet and respond, "Please rest assured, clan leader. I will do my best to complete the task you have assigned me."

"Jung Won, as long as you have confidence!"

Zhou Daoyi nodded slightly, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "Work hard, don't let me and the family elders who support you down!"
