Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 123 Leave for Suzhou

The Star Tree is full of stars, every of which looks like an apple as common as those sold in the street.

The sword in the second star map is still giving off faint starlight. Gao Ge suddenly feels that this sword is meant for him.

As he has a thought in mind, he searches in the second star map and meanwhile urges his power of stars. When he opens his eyes again, the sword is held in his hand. Moreover, compared with before, it is a bit different. The sword handle is engraved with a gem which is giving off a faint light. The light does look like the starlight indeed.

Watching the sword for a while, Gao Ge wonders whether he should name the sword.

He ponders for a moment and uses up his intelligence to eventually come up with a very nice, low-key, grand and meaningful name.

Big Treasure Sword!

The word—big is splendid and grand.

The word—treasure stands for honor.

The word—sword is simple, clear and direct.

Having thought of the name, Gao Ge can’t help admiring himself who is both talented and handsome.

All of a sudden, he hears someone walking near.

Without any hesitation, Gao Ge runs the power of stars again to check the second star map. The sword disappears again, leaving no trace at all.

“The Dragon Court members are here. They will take away Mo Ran now.” Xia Lu says after coughing.

Gao Ge nods his head and follows Xia Lu downstairs.

Mo Ran is still sitting on the sofa, watching Liu Dan’s and the others’ corpses in a trance.

Compared with a moment ago, his face has become better.

He thought that he would completely let go as long as he had his revenge by killing Liu Rui, Song Zhi and other enemies.

However, at the moment, he suddenly realizes that it is not what he wants.

After Liu Rui and the others are dead, he has a feeling of weakness, wondering what he should do for the following days.

Hatred was what motivated him to keep going forward.

He was thinking about revenging all the time, but when he took his revenge, he was completely collapsed.

Before the Dragon Court members came here, he cried with his hands holding his head for a long time, curling his body. He appeared quite helpless.

Now, he becomes better, probably because he has drained his tears.

The Dragon Court has sent two people here, both of whom Gao Ge has never met before and doesn’t know where they come from.

After everything is settled here, Gao Ge makes a call to Tang Jiusi, reporting the situation. He basically tells him everything except the death of Shen Mo and Wang Zhe. He claims that it is him who causes their death on the ground that they didn’t take his order. As the leader, he has the right over life and death upon his squad members, which has been mentioned by Tang Jiusi before.

Now as he recalls, Gao Ge can’t help thinking whether Tang Jiusi was giving him a hint.

On the contrary, Xiao Linran expressed his thought in a more direct way.

He told Gao Ge bluntly that he could take the chance to kill his enemy.

The middle-aged man, one of the Dragon Court members, looks at Gao Ge and says, “You should have gone back with us. After all, three members of your squad are dead and you must give an explanation as the leader. However, since you need to go elsewhere to help execute another task, I will say no more.”

Gao Ge nods his head and looks at Mo Ran who is squatting aside, asking, “May I ask whether he will die for this?”

The middle-aged man is a bit confused and then looks at Gao Ge, asking, “Is it important?”

“Yes.”

“Why does it matter to you?”

“If he is executed, I will feel very guilty.” Gao Ge says, “I don’t think he did anything wrong. He just took the revenge for his girl. He did try to do it in a legal way but he failed.”

The middle-aged man stays silent for a while, frowning.

The other Dragon Court member also stares at Gao Ge with meaningful eyes.

After quite a while, the middle-aged man looks at Gao Ge, saying seriously, “I cannot give you an answer to this question. It depends on the senior department. However, since he killed people, he must pay for that, which is a certain thing.”

“If that is the case, I will feel very disappointed at the Dragon Court and Cultivation Academy.” Gao Ge says grinningly.

“How dare you!”

The middle-aged man flies into a rage.

As a member of the Dragon Court, he values the dignity of the institution more than his life.

Therefore, any Dragon Court member will not allow anyone to defy their faith in front of them.

Gao Ge is not frightened by the facial expression of the middle-aged man.

Since he feels that Mo Ran is right, he will insist on his thought.

If he cannot even insist on what he believes is right, the so-called cultivation is a ridiculous joke. People always say cultivation is the journey to pursue Tao. If one cannot even understand what Tao is, how will he be qualified to comprehend the ultimate Tao?

“Mo Ran is right. Even if he must be punished, please have careful consideration before making the judgment.” Gao Ge expresses his idea firmly.

Mo Ran finally cannot help raising his head to look at Gao Ge.

“I see.” The middle-aged man sighs, “I will forward your thought to the senior department, but I don’t think you need to worry about it. You should worry about yourself. Even though you are the leader of your squad, you cannot kill the students in the Cultivation Academy or the members in your squad at will. Since you are going to execute the task elsewhere, you must seize the opportunity.”

Gao Ge is confused, “Opportunity?”

“The opportunity to atone your crime by doing a good deed.” The middle-aged man says, “Tang Jiusi asked me to tell you this. If you can finish the next task well, it will be a deed of great merits. After all, it is not your responsibility. Maybe the senior will just look the other way. I don’t think I need to say anymore for you to understand.”

“I didn’t mean to ask you more.” Gao Ge says smilingly.

“Who knows?” The middle-aged man says with a sneer, “Tang Jiusi said you were not a fool. I hope you are not.”

Gao Ge doesn’t speak anymore.

After Mo Ran is taken away by the Dragon Court, Gao Ge sits on the sofa of the Liu’s villa and sighs.

Actually, the middle-aged man has made it very clear.

If he completes the task, Shen Mo’s death will be forgiven.

If he cannot finish the task, the senior department will take the matter very seriously. When the Dragon Court wants to investigate one thing carefully, it is not likely for Gao Ge to find a way out. This may be the reality in Huaxia. Everything cannot be too seriously treated.

“Somehow I feel threatened.” Gao Ge says while touching his chin.

“Are you afraid?” Xia Lu asks.

Gao Ge shakes his head.

“This is the task for Meng Jiang, Yue Xincheng and their teammates. Even if they didn’t say that, I must do what I should do. If I really can’t tackle it, I have no other way out then.” Gao Ge says.

He thinks that the task for him, Xia Lu and Shen Mo is merely ranked as Grade D, so Meng Jiang and the others won’t be assigned to tackle a more advanced task.

Mo Ran is not difficult to handle. The only one who makes the task difficult is Shen Mo and his sidekicks. Hence, the task of Grade D is just like that.

“The tickets have been booked. We can set off now.” Xia Lu says.

Gao Ge stands up and follows Xia Lu out of the Liu’s villa.

As to the ending work of the Liu Family, they don’t need to worry about it.

Never underestimate the power of the Dragon Court!

Gao Ge has known that since his previous life.
