Chapter 1039: Just Listen to Us

There were some people gathered in the forest, and there were also temporary huts made.

Flying swords often appeared in the sky.

There was a bonfire in the corner, and the aroma of roasted meat wafted over.

Occasionally, there would be strange figures on the branches.

They seemed to be waiting for something.

Jiang Hao led his team through the crowd.

Now, there were eight of them. Five of them were from the Heavenly Note Sect, and the other three were practically strangers.

There were two men and one woman.

Among them, there was a young man with a sharp mouth. He looked confused and wary of everyone as if he was worried something bad might happen at any time.

The woman was dressed in white.

The sharp-mouthed young man and the white-robed woman were disciples of the Divine Feather Sect. As for the young man who looked even more cautious, he was from the Blackheaven Sect.

The former two had joined because of an agreement between the sects, and the latter was just an accidental occurrence.

He had wandered here by accident and was then given the task to join in and explore the lake.

This person’s sudden arrival caught Jiang Hao’s attention.

From the looks of it, he was at the late stage of the Golden Core Realm.

His aura was not weak, but he was not as strong as Han Ming either.

It was just that this person was a little different. His talent emitted a colorful glow. He must have a special body.

“When do we enter the Dark Lake? Although it looks like a lake, there is actually a universe inside. The distorted space around us is extremely vast. There are even demonic beasts appearing,” the sharp-mouthed young man said.

His name was Zuo Ming. He was at the peak of the Golden Core Realm and from the Divine Feather Sect.

“Not just that, but it’s hard to see inside. Without us, you won’t even find your way, let alone get to the source of this phenomenon,” said the white-robed woman confidently.

She was Gudu Jinxiu, a disciple at the peak of the Golden Core Realm from the Divine Feather Sect.

“We go in tomorrow,” said Jiang Hao and looked into the distance. “Let’s observe the surroundings tonight and prepare.”

He needed to make some preparations. He also needed to use Myriad Nature Forest to test the situation.

If he could not control the clone, then he would have no way of knowing what it might see or hear.

However, there was no danger.

If vision could be shared, it would be much more convenient.

At night, the eight of them sat by the bonfire and talked about their abilities.

Zuo Ming of the Divine Feather Sect had suggested it. He said that he needed to know the abilities of others so he could make preparations accordingly.

When Jiang Hao heard that, he knew that this person wanted to take the lead.

He did not care. If someone wanted to step in, he would let them.

As long as everything went smoothly, he had no complaints about it.

He had good perception and some effective offense techniques.

As the leader, it would not make sense if he was not good at offense techniques.

As for his keen perception, everyone knew about it.

Senior Brother Zheng was good at ice spells. Liao Jin was good at alchemy and healing. Lu Dong from Flowing Waterfall was good at physical skills, and Cheng Yuchen from the Heavenly Joy Pavilion was good at enchantments.

As for Li Ertao of the Blackheaven Sect, he was good at healing injuries. His special talent was in healing all kinds of things.

He could reattach broken arms and heal grave injuries. As long as anything was not completely severed, he could make it as good as new.

Everyone was surprised at that.

Jiang Hao frowned. Did he really have such an ability?

“I-I really don’t know anything else, but I’ll try my best not to cause you any trouble. If anything happens to me, you don’t have to worry. You can leave me. I’ll be fine,” said Li Ertao.

He felt nervous when everyone looked at him.

“Fellow Disciple Li, you’re really amazing. Why would you be any trouble to us?” Zuo Ming smiled. “Right! We haven’t introduced ourselves yet. What we’re good at is actually the Heavenly Eye. Of course, we are also good at leadership. So, we hope you can trust our arrangement. We’ll complete the mission as soon as possible.”

Jiang Hao didn’t have any objections.

Zheng Shijiu felt that something was amiss. However, he had worked with Jiang Hao many times, so he just waited patiently.

If nothing happened, everyone would benefit and be happy.

If there was some problem, it would be hard to say what would happen.

After introducing themselves, it was time for someone to take the first watch.

Zheng Shijiu volunteered to do it first.

Li Ertao could keep watch after that. Jiang Hao was the last one.

“The two of us feel that we need our energy for tomorrow if we are to lead the way. So, we won’t be keeping a watch. Thank you for your understanding,” said Zuo Ming.

“Please wake us if there is any danger,” Gudu Jinxiu said.

Jiang Hao and the others could only nod.

For now, they were the most important members.

After that, everyone rested. Jiang Hao closed his eyes and waited for his turn for the night watch.

After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and walked toward the bonfire.

Li Ertao was concentrating on his surroundings to detect any person or beast if they approached.

Jiang Hao sensed that he was about to attack the moment he stepped foot near him.

“It’s just me,” said Jiang Hao softly.

“Fellow Disciple Jiang. I’m sorry I didn’t realize it was you,” said Li Ertao in embarrassment.

“That’s alright,” said Jiang Hao. “It’s my turn to keep watch. You can go and rest.”

Li Ertao nodded. He then took out a fruit from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Hao. “Here. Eating helps pass the time.”

The fruit was brown and was filled with spiritual energy.

“It’s safe to eat,” said Li Ertao when he noticed that Jiang Hao had not moved. He took a bite. “See? It’s edible.”

It seemed that he was trying to tell Jiang Hao that it was not poisoned.

He then took out another fruit and handed it to Jiang Hao.

Li Ertao seemed to realize that handing another fruit would still seem suspicious. But he could not just take a bite and give it to him. That would be impolite.

He realized that there was no way he could prove that it was safe to eat.

“I’m sorry,” he said apologetically and fumbled to put it back in his pocket.

Jiang Hao reached out. “I thought you were giving that to me.”

“Yes!” said Li Ertao. “Of course! Here.”

Jiang Hao took the fruit and wiped it. Then, he took a bite.

It was not sweet, but it was still tasty.

The more he ate, the more delicious it felt.

“It’s delicious,” he said.

“I think so too!” Li Ertao chuckled.

“How did you get into cultivation?” Jiang Hao sat down and asked.

Jiang Hao felt that Li Ertao was not really suitable to venture into cultivation.

“I don’t really know… I remember being taken away by my master when I was young,” Li Ertao said. “By the time I could leave, my parents were already gone. I miss them so much. Although I know my master wants the best for me, I just want to stay by my parents’ side. Before I met Master, I recall my father telling me that he would take me to the city and buy me candied hawthorns. But… I never saw him again. I never got to taste those candied hawthorns.”

Jiang Hao did not say anything. He just listened quietly.

Sometimes, people had no choice over the things that happened in their lives.

They had no choice. They tried to make the most of the hands they were dealt and create something positive out of it.

“Maybe don’t give fruits to whoever you meet. People might either misunderstand or take advantage of your good intentions,” said Jiang Hao.

Li Ertao was confused. He did not understand.

Jiang Hao did not explain further and ate the fruit quietly.

His worldview was shaped by his own experiences. He did not represent everyone in the world.

All he could do was warn him. He could not force his opinions on others, after all.
