World of Honor

“Bai Jile, at the age of sixteen, became the master of the Floating Dream Tower in the Shanglin Tiangong, the youngest master of the third floor in history. In a battle with the Tianmen Shengzong, he single-handedly killed nine elders of the Tianmen, making him the most illustrious and feared man in the righteous martial world.” Feng Zuojun whipped the horse as he drove the carriage, and said to Su Baiyi beside him, “If your master is taken back to the Shanglin Tiangong, the one he needs to be most careful of is this man. My father once told me that Bai Jile is the most terrifying man in the entire martial world.”

“But my master only told me about the Shanglin Twin Wonders, who dazzled the martial world. He never mentioned this Bai Jile.” Su Baiyi wrote down Feng Zuojun’s words in a book with a pen, and asked.

“That’s because he has another name. Bai Jile, his title is ‘The Hand of Heaven’.” Feng Zuojun said solemnly.

“The Hand of Heaven?” Su Baiyi was stunned.

“Because Bai Jile has always been the executor of the Shanglin Tiangong, especially in these years, when the deputy palace master Ning Qingcheng closed himself off, the master of the Misty Rain Tower Xie Kanhua disappeared, and the master of the Spring Breeze Tower Helian Xiyue was indifferent, Bai Jile actually became the ruler of the Shanglin Tiangong.” Feng Zuojun waved his whip vigorously. “Isn’t he the number one person in the martial world?”

“Is he that powerful? Can’t my master beat him?” Su Baiyi asked.

“There is no rumor of them fighting in the martial world, so I don’t know who is more powerful. After all, the stories of the Shanglin Twin Wonders are often accompanied by romance and beauty, while the rumors of The Hand of Heaven are all blood and gore. It’s hard to compare. But Bai Jile, I’ve never heard of his defeat. Your master, on the other hand, has lost quite a few times.” Feng Zuojun laughed.

“Who did he lose to?” Su Baiyi asked.

“The big palace master of Shanglin Tiangong Su Han, and the second palace master Su Dianmo, both fought with him. He lost and was forced to join Shanglin Tiangong. But there are also rumors that it was because Su Dianmo was too beautiful that Xie Kanhua deliberately lost, wanting to marry into their family. That’s why he was kicked out by his own family.” Feng Zuojun became inexplicably excited when he talked about Xie family’s scandal.

A murderous aura quickly filled the carriage, but Feng Zuojun was not afraid but rather more proud. However, another more fierce murderous aura soon made him wilt.

Su Baiyi noticed the change in the carriage and continued to write on with his pen. Then he changed the topic, “Then from what you said, isn’t my master doomed?”

“That’s not necessarily true. I think your master will be imprisoned until he returns that treasure to Shanglin Tiangong. With his status, he won’t be killed anyway. If Bai Jile really makes a move, then Helian Xiyue will definitely oppose him. By then, if Shanglin Twin Wonders join forces, there will be a good show to watch.” Feng Zuojun raised his eyebrows.

“Helian Xiyue personally captured my master. Why would he be helping my master?” Su Baiyi was puzzled.

“One thing at a time, your master stole the supreme treasure of Shanglin Tiangong and ran away for ten years. Helian Xiyue, as the master of the Spring Breeze Tower, captured him back. That was his duty. But if Shanglin Tiangong wants to kill your master, Helian Xiyue, as your master’s best friend, will definitely be the first to draw his sword. I absolutely believe that.” Feng Zuojun’s voice was very certain.

“Why?” Su Baiyi asked.

“I once read a book called ‘The Song of the Young Heaven’, which is about the story between Xie Kanhua and Helian Xiyue. The two of them went crazy and romantic in the martial world, and later went through life and death together. They are the kind of relationship that can give up their lives for each other. I admire these two seniors very much, and I also like this book. I believe in their feelings.” Feng Zuojun said seriously, “Didn’t you say you are writing these down for a story about the martial world? Write it well, and don’t forget to arrange a role for me.”

“How do you want me to write it?” Su Baiyi asked.

“Feng Zuojun, the strongest man among the disciples of Xue Gong in this generation, and later the strongest man in the world! You are my junior brother, you rank second. Xie Yuling, he ranks third!” Feng Zuojun said loudly.

“Why do you always emphasize the word ‘man’?” Su Baiyi was puzzled.

“Because the strongest person among the disciples of Xue Gong in this generation already exists.” Feng Zuojun raised a big thumb and waved it backwards. “My senior sister.”

“Stop flattering. Drive well.” Nangong Xi’er sat in the carriage and laughed and scolded.

“I see.” Su Baiyi gave a dry laugh. “But isn’t Shanglin Tiangong known as the Three Towers and Four Courtyards? You only mentioned the three towers just now. What about the four courtyards?”

“The four courtyards are more mysterious than the three towers. If I were not the young sect master of Tianxiao Yunjing, you wouldn’t hear so much. The four courtyards are: Courtyard of Punishment and Law, Courtyard of Thousand Inventions, Courtyard of Starry Constellation, and Courtyard of Clear Sky. Courtyard of Punishment and Law is in charge of the internal punishments of Shanglin Tiangong . It is the place that the disciples of Shanglin Tiangong fear the most. Most of the disciples there are monks, who are harsh and ruthless. Courtyard of Thousand Inventions is where they make all kinds of strange weapons and collect intelligence. The disciples there all wear masks, and even their own fellow brothers, who have been together for more than ten years, do not know each other’s faces. Courtyard of Starry Constellation is rumored to be studying medicine, or astrology, very mysterious. As for Courtyard of Clear Sky…”

“What about Courtyard of Clear Sky?” Su Baiyi saw that Feng Zuojun suddenly stopped and asked.

Feng Zuojun said gloomily, “They are all killers.”

Shanglin Tiangong, Courtyard of Clear Sky.

“I heard that little brat Xie Kanhua came back. I wanted to see this old friend today.” A burly old man with silver hair sat in the middle chair, lifted his tea cup and gently blew on it. On his sides sat eight other men, all dressed in black and carrying swords, with a cold killing intent on them. “But Bai tower master specially sent a letter, asking all the disciples of the four courtyards to stay in their own courtyards and not to go out a step. I wonder what his purpose is?”

Bai Jile walked in from outside. “Ying sect master will always have a chance to see him. And this time he came back, he came back by himself.”

“What do you mean?” The old man put down his tea cup.

“He didn’t bring back the thing that belongs to Shanglin Tiangong.” Bai Jile said indifferently.

“Oh? What did Helian Xiyue say?” The old man narrowed his eyes. “Is this how the master of the Spring Breeze Tower does things?”

“Helian Xiyue said that he only received the order to bring Xie Kanhua back, and no other orders.” Bai Jile said.

“Then Bai tower master came to my Courtyard of Clear Sky because…” The old man sneered.

“The task of bringing that thing back to the Shanglin Tiangong is entrusted to Courtyard of Clear Sky.” Bai Jile turned around and walked towards the outside.

“What an arrogant kid.” The old man cursed.

“Bring Xie Kanhua’s disciple back. His name is Su Baiyi.” Bai Jile stepped out of the gate of Courtyard of Clear Sky.

The old man was stunned at first, then smashed the tea cup on the table with a palm. “In my life, I hate people with the surname Su the most!”
