913: Chapter 576_2 913: Chapter 576_2 “You draft a list and hand it over, and advise how many carriages are needed.
Whoever needs persuasion to convince their family, Father will take care of it!”
Tang Feiyang then wrote a list for his father, comprising dozens of elite disciples, all members of their family!
Only a few of them are from distant places and came here to study at the academy, becoming loyal disciples.
The Chief of Staff reviewed his son’s list; the number was rather large, mostly family elites.
If all of them encounter dangers outside, it would be a blow to them!
The list contained no cowards, no lazy ones, and some disobedient thorns; the father thought for a moment and agreed to his son’s considerations!
This time Tang Feiyang went out, he brought this group of people, and by giving them the ability to cultivate, their return saw the family’s power significantly enhanced!
Overcoming such danger signals the advent of spring!
Divine tribulation allows them to grow; facing various matters outside will mature them, no longer lost or confused.
While Tang Feiyang was nearby making arrangements, he was still in closed-door cultivation, waiting for his father to handle the matters, ready to depart at any moment.
These individuals are treasured at home, their families’ agreement to let them undergo tribulation still required some time of persuasion!
The Chief of Staff handed the list to his trusted aide, instructing them to organize and notify the young people from their family and inform some at the academy!
The Chief of Staff’s confidant, upon seeing the list, instantly grasped its significance.
He almost couldn’t restrain himself, and shared his thoughts with the Chief of Staff:
“Master, with the Young Master and so many disciples going out, may I accompany them for protection?”
He dared not meet his master’s gaze, seemingly feeling the intense scrutiny of his master.
The Chief of Staff instantly understood his subordinate’s intentions; seeing both his and his son’s increased abilities,
He wished only to protect and accompany the son and young members during their growth outside!
Providing opportunities, the Chief of Staff couldn’t refuse: “Select a dozen guards and let them escort on horseback!”
“Yes!” the subordinate joyfully went to make arrangements!
While arranging, he summoned some confidants, accompanying the Young Master outward for tribulation—a covetable opportunity indeed!
He selected elites from the family based on the Young Master’s list, then proceeded to the Confucianism Taoism Academy; those young ones listed were overjoyed!
This was what they had longed for—to experience tribulation outside; they had been extremely bored in the Capital City!
This time, led by the long-cloistered Young Master, those who got the opportunity were thrilled.
Those who didn’t sought shortcuts to appeal to the Young Master.
Joyful youngsters faced familial objections.
Those from afar didn’t face such hindrances from their family.
Only in the Capital City did the heirs face opposition from their families.
They persistently pleaded with their families; failing to venture outside would leave them despondent and less skilled.
Families fearing monster attacks naturally hesitated; living ordinarily and safely was preferable.
The Chief of Staff had long been aware of this situation, directed his subordinates to organize a meeting with influential individuals from those families.
Those small rich families, under the persuasive words of the Chief of Staff, for the betterment of their younger generation, endured the home pressure and agreed!
The Chief’s powerful statement was convincing: “You may feel my current ability is different from before; I now practice Dual Cultivation of Immortal and Confucian Paths.
If you also wish to participate, and have your family’s disciples join my son’s team, my son will teach the Dual Cultivation Method!”
This impactful statement surprised the attendees; they sensed a different Aura from the Chief!
They all wanted to partake in such Dual Cultivation and have their family’s disciples join!
Imagining the day they could also fly using magical treasures, how fast would that be?
No longer envious of others possessing the ‘Flying Through the Heavens and Earth’ ability, this was their chance to soar—anyone not partaking would be a fool!
Having the carriage guard squad arranged by his father, Tang Feiyang had a secretive meeting with his father before departure!
“Feiyang, with the disappearance of the top Alchemist, Ye Tian and his fiancée, as well as this beast tide, you must be careful in the north.
Although our people are nearly as capable as those we send, their people are cunning and deceitful.
You need to guard against their poisoning and use of other weapons!”
Tang Feiyang understood this concern from his father; indeed, they needed to be wary of the Prime Minister’s people, mindful of their ambushes!
“Son understands, we will be careful!”
Tang Feiyang was ready to depart, arriving at the square with a convoy and numerous Guards, with about 100 people in total, including some Carriage Drivers who also served as guards!
In these people’s carriages, besides food, utilities, and clothing, there were also their luggage, tents, and the Guards’ belongings stowed in the carriages!
This time they were heading north, necessitating thicker clothing, with the luggage now holding additional blankets, thick robes, food supplies, and picnic items, dry food, and cooking pots.
But with two people per carriage, and so many items loaded, the carriages were packed full!
Such a large departure procession, as they marched through the streets, attracted onlookers!
Those dispatched from the Minister Mansion were now known to the well-informed!
The ones from the Confucian Family who couldn’t go followed to see them off!
Some from the Academy who couldn’t participate also came out for farewells; those who previously tried to use backdoors to join this journey, didn’t get their wish!
The ones traveling were all young people listed by Tang Feiyang, and the Guards were assigned by his father!
“Cousin!”
The lady in red called out loudly, amidst dozens of carriages, not knowing which one her cousin was in, but hoping her call would make him look out.
Tang Feiyang suddenly recognized the voice of the woman in red.
He didn’t look out from the carriage window; this time, all carriages were uniform to prevent specific targeting and ambush.
This action might lead others into peril; if he encountered danger, others would not be spared either!
The woman in red saw young men peering out from carriage after carriage, sometimes two, sometimes one!
From these dozens of carriages, she couldn’t find her cousin’s figure!
Restlessly, she ran back and forth as the convoy moved slowly, cautious not to harm anyone on the streets, moving street by street out of the city!
Du Jiaolan and some Noble Family Girls and rich daughters were among the crowd, veiling their faces with netting so they couldn’t be clearly seen!
Seeing the woman in red running back and forth, she was also anxious to find someone, but couldn’t call out as boldly as the woman in red!
Eventually, she watched dejectedly as people left!
Du Jiaolan watched her beloved leave, feeling upset, as their return date was unknown!
Her ability was insufficient, and the organization hadn’t sent her!
“Are you here?” Thinking this, Yingzi tapped her arm, asking her to step aside for a conversation!
Du Jiaolan’s carriage was at the roadside; Yingzi had not taken a carriage but was disguised as a young man!
He was holding a horse!
The two quietly spoke beside the carriage.
“Follow me, we have a mission!”
“Where to?
I’m not prepared!
My family doesn’t even know!” Du Jiaolan had never thought of going out on a mission!
“This time it’s to the north, let’s see what’s going on with this beast tide,” Yingzi’s eyes carried a hint of mystery.
“You have half an hour to prepare, inform your family, bring the people close to you, and let’s depart.
Prepare blankets and thick clothes, mine as well.”
Du Jiaolan nodded at Yingzi’s words, and the two quickly went to a shop they secretly operated, a fabric store!
