The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
She said coolly, "Shen Ye, do you believe he will not go to save the Earl of Earth? " Kaihuang said gravely, "Venerable Mu is a remarkable man. He always keeps his word and always carries through what he says. I believe him. " "The mouth of a man, the tongue of a ghost!
" Venerable Moon sneered. "If Venerable Mu does go to save the Earl of Earth, will you go? " Kaihuang said with a straight face, "I will not go.
I have just laid the gains and losses out before him; how could I go to my death? I will not throw away the human race's bright prospects for his sake, or the Earl of Earth's. You may not believe Venerable Mu, but you must believe me, surely? I, Shen Ye, keep my word and see my deeds through; never have I broken faith with anyone!
If you do not believe me, go and ask Venerable Ling — Venerable Ling knows me better than anyone! " Venerable Ling rose to her feet and walked out.
"Venerable Shen is indeed a man of his word.
I took him roving through history, and he never told anyone. " Venerable Moon hurriedly stood. "Ling, where are you going?
" "I am going with Venerable Mu, to keep watch over him. " Without turning her head, Venerable Ling said, "Forty thousand years ago he passed on to me the Dao patterns of Miluo Palace, and I have not yet had the chance to teach him what I have gained from comprehending them.
Only wait for me to return.
" She hurried away.
Kaihuang also walked out. "After Venerable Mu has seen Venerable Cloud, he will go to the Nether Capital to steal the Book of Life and Death. I too must return to Carefree Township to prepare for striking the human race from the death register. " He left Wendao Academy and vanished without a trace. Venerable Moon blinked and looked at Langwan. She laughed. "They have all gone.
What about you, Langwan? If you have nothing to do, why don't we make a trip to Venerable Cloud's Great Luo Heaven? It has been a long time since you saw Venerable Cloud, has it not?
" Langwan rose and said indifferently, "What would seeing him accomplish?
I still remember how, in those years, for the sake of opposing Taidi, he sat by and watched several million of my people slain by Taidi.
From that day I swore I would never see him again. " Venerable Moon hurriedly caught her hand, apologetic. "What happened in those years — Ling and I had a share in it too.
It was our fault.
. . " Langwan gently freed her hand.
"I never blamed Aunt Moon or Aunt Ling.
I blame only Uncle Cloud. He was the hero of my heart, and yet. . .
Rest assured, there are only a thousand-odd Creators left. I will not go to the Nether Capital. " Venerable Moon could only watch her go. In Wendao Academy only she and the village headman remained.
Venerable Moon paced back and forth, then glanced at the village headman, who was hunched over the Sword Canon, studying it. Half in anger, half in amusement, she said, "Su Muzhe, you compiled the Sword Canon yourself.
What is there in it worth reading? " The village headman raised his head and glanced at her. "Just now Kaihuang pointed out some errors, and wrote some new techniques into the Sword Canon. I am studying them.
" Venerable Moon snatched the Sword Canon from his hands and laughed.
"You know Venerable Mu better than anyone. Do you think he will go to help the Earl of Earth? " The village headman watched the Sword Canon in her hands and said cautiously, "The nine little ones of Hidden Remnant Village have always been men of iron backbone and weighty promises; never do we break our word. Shen'er was raised by the nine of us juniors, so of course he inherited our fine traditions — his family teaching is excellent.
. . Venerable, do not ruin it, this Sword Canon is a treasure!
"
