36: Can I not go?

The sky had fallen!

After reading the transfer order, Liu Xuan felt as if the sky had collapsed!

According to the transfer order, he was appointed as the Yongning patrol envoy. His authority was immense; he was responsible for overseeing the internal affairs of the Law Enforcement Team and the local forces in Yongning. He even had a Law Enforcement Team squad under his command and, when necessary, could act first and report later.

As an Inner Sect Disciple, the Sect wouldn't treat him as cannon fodder when sending him out.

For those Outer Sect Disciples, Liu Xuan's position was a lucrative job that they dreamed of obtaining.

But Liu Xuan really had no interest in being any kind of patrol envoy!

He could grow stronger while safely hiding in the Sect, so why bother going out to take risks?

Furthermore, if he went to Yongning, what would happen to his Dao Companions like Lin Xue'er, Lin Anqi, and Chang Dan...?

Xiao Lan had just become pregnant, and all his Dao Companions, maids, and servant girls were pregnant. Liu Xuan was currently scouting for new maids and servant girls!

'I can't go! I must find a way to stay in the Sect.'

"Wait, that's not right!"

"Why would the Sect suddenly assign me such a task?"

Liu Xuan was a First-Rank Talisman Master, not a Spell Cultivator from the Spell Hall. Logically speaking, his value was greater if he remained in the Sect.

Moreover, although the Sect had issued the mission to go to the Yongning Law Enforcement Team, it had always upheld the principle of voluntariness.

The chaos in Yongning wasn't significant enough for the Sect to force Disciples to join the battle.

Liu Xuan pondered for a moment and then instructed Liu Gang, who was driving the carriage outside, "Change course, go to the Lin Family Talisman Shop."

The carriage sped along and soon arrived at the Talisman shop in the city.

"Husband, why have you come so early today? Has something happened?"

Lin Anqi was flipping through the account books and, seeing Liu Xuan's hurried appearance, she asked.

"Come with me first; I'll explain on the way." Liu Xuan pulled Lin Anqi and walked out of the shop.

"What happened?" Lin Anqi asked curiously on the carriage.

Liu Xuan handed the transfer order to her, "This is the Sect transfer order, take a look!"

Lin Anqi took the transfer order and examined it. After reading it, she roughly understood Liu Xuan's intention.

"Husband, you don't want to go?"

Liu Xuan nodded, "I am a Talisman Master, I have no interest in fighting and killing."

Lin Anqi looked at the direction the carriage was heading, "Then, Husband, do you want to take me to see Father and have him step in to change the transfer order?"

As expected of the owner of the Talisman shop, Lin Anqi was sharp-minded. Without needing Liu Xuan to explain, she already knew his plan.

"Wife, you are clever. You must help me later," Liu Xuan said.

Lin Anqi returned the Sect transfer order to Liu Xuan and said, "This level of Sect transfer order is issued by the Inner Sect General Affairs Hall. Father cannot interfere either; I'm afraid you will be disappointed, Husband."

"The Inner Sect General Affairs Hall?"

Lin Anqi nodded and continued to explain, "There are about six hundred Inner Sect Disciples in total, all managed by the General Affairs Hall."

"This red transfer order of yours can only be issued by a Foundation Establishment Elder. If you want to change it, you would have to go before my grandfather."

Lin Anqi's grandfather was the Lin Family Old Ancestor, Lin Qingyun, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Liu Xuan's heart sank. If it was truly as Lin Anqi said, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to achieve his goal with this trip.

Regardless of whether he could achieve his goal or not, Lin Tianyue definitely knew the situation better than he did, so he still had to go and ask.

"Husband, don't worry. You are an Inner Sect Disciple; the Sect won't harm you. Even if you really go to Yongning to take up the post, the risk isn't high," Lin Anqi comforted him.

Unlike what Liu Xuan thought, Lin Anqi actually felt this transfer order was quite good. The risk wasn't high, and not only could he gain quite a few benefits, but he could also build up his credentials.

As long as he performed well and completed the mission smoothly, it might even allow Liu Xuan to enter the Old Ancestor's field of vision.

How can there be no danger in immortal cultivation?

A certain amount of danger can stimulate a Cultivator's fighting spirit and is helpful for breaking through a Bottleneck.

Lin Anqi felt that Liu Xuan had high talent in Talismans, but his other talents were not high, and he was too fond of indulging in beauty. If he could go out and gain some experience, perhaps he could change.

Silence fell inside the carriage, and the two were lost in their own thoughts.

Two quarters of an hour later.

The carriage arrived at the medicine garden halfway up the mountain, where Lin Tianyue resided.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!!"

A snow-white puppy was barking at the carriage, looking very frightened.

Lin Tianyue picked up the puppy and held it in his arms, "What's wrong, Xiaobai?"

"Woof! Woof! Woof!!"

"There is a Yao Beast inside?"

"Woof! Woof! Woof!!"

Lin Tianyue understood and asked Liu Xuan and Lin Anqi, who had just stepped off the carriage, "You have a Yao Beast on your carriage?"

Liu Xuan cupped his hands in a salute and said respectfully, "I am raising a type of Spirit Bee. Its rank is not high, just reaching the Qi Refining First Layer."

"Spirit Bees?"

Lin Tianyue's eyes lit up, "Let me see!"

He walked over and lifted the carriage curtain, only to see a black beehive occupying most of the carriage, with pitch-black Spirit Bees crawling inside.

"Good stuff!" Lin Tianyue asked with a curious expression, "Where did you get them?"

Liu Xuan repeated the reason he had given to Lin Anqi and the others, making Lin Tianyue extremely envious.

Lin Tianyue had wide-ranging hobbies; he was a First-Rank Low-Grade Talisman Master, a First-Rank Low Grade spirit plant master, and also a First-Rank Low Grade beast tamer.

He knew a little bit of everything, but wasn't proficient in anything.

Lin Tianyue was very interested in spirit insects and Yao Beasts, but he had tried many methods without successfully taming any.

Things he couldn't obtain, this brat Liu Xuan had obtained easily; it was simply unreasonable!

Pulling the curtain shut, Lin Tianyue only felt better after forcing himself not to think about it.

Glancing at Lin Anqi and Liu Xuan, he said irritably, "It's been so long, and you two haven't come to see me even once. Now you think of me?"

Except for when Liu Xuan and Lin Anqi came to pay their respects when they first confirmed their relationship, the two had never come since.

"I was just worried about disturbing your cultivation, Father. If you don't mind me being a bother, I will come every few days from now on."

Lin Anqi bowed and said coquettishly.

"I wasn't talking about you!"

Lin Tianyue looked at Liu Xuan, "I was talking about you, brat!"

He was satisfied with everything about Liu Xuan, except for one thing he couldn't stand: Liu Xuan was too damn unfaithful.

With Dao Companions, maids, and servant girls all pregnant, and over a dozen offspring in a year—was this something a Cultivator would do?

"Father-in-law, it is my fault. In the future..."

"Enough nonsense!"

Lin Tianyue interrupted Liu Xuan and said, "You came here because of the Sect transfer order, right?"

Liu Xuan nodded. Looking at Lin Tianyue's demeanor, he definitely knew the inside story.

Lin Tianyue gave Liu Xuan a reassuring look, "Rest assured and go; I have already arranged everything for you!"

"This Law Enforcement Team is led by the Spell Hall Foundation Establishment Elder Zou Ming, and my Lin Family Genius Lin Junjie is also accompanying you. I have already instructed him to take care of you when the time comes."

"Also, I have already pulled strings with the Late Qi Refining Stage senior members in the team who are well-acquainted with me!"

"The purpose of this mission for you is to gain experience. Remember! Do less, watch more!"

Lin Tianyue seemed dissatisfied with Liu Xuan on the surface, but in reality, he valued him quite a bit.

He had already arranged this mission perfectly, considering every aspect.

Liu Xuan's heart sank lower and lower. Looking at Lin Tianyue like this, he couldn't avoid going this time even if he wanted to.

However, he still decided to try one more time. He let out a breath and asked in a low voice, "Father-in-law, can I not go on this mission?"
