NOVEL NEXT Chapter 17.1: You Never Know When It Might Come in Handy
“Senior Brother, please accept this jade box. Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain it to Senior Sister Shen,” Lu Changhe said earnestly, handing the jade box to Li Xun again.
This time, Li Xun didn’t refuse.
Understanding the situation, he accepted the box with a clear conscience.
“Junior Brother, today’s events turned out to be a blessing in disguise for you. After all, not everyone can enter the Law Enforcement Hall,” Li Xun remarked with a light smile.
The basic requirement to enter the Law Enforcement Hall was to reach the Qi Condensation realm, but that was just the minimum.
To actually join, one had to be outstanding in each cultivation realm, as the hall’s duties involved dealing with traitors of the sect—individuals who were often formidable in their own right.
“It’s all thanks to your help, Senior Brother. Without your intervention, I wouldn’t be here today…” Lu Changhe said, still filled with gratitude.
By rights, he had no qualifications to enter the Law Enforcement Hall, especially after breaking sect rules.
His strength alone wouldn’t have been enough.
It was Li Xun’s influence that played a significant role, and Shen Yuluan’s decision to make him an Law Enforcement Hall disciple also made it easier to handle the matter of crippling Bai Shaowei and the others’ cultivation.
After all, Law Enforcement Hall disciples have the authority to cleanse the sect of traitors after investigating the truth.
“What’s done is done,” Li Xun waved his hand dismissively and smiled. “It’s a good thing you’ve joined the Law Enforcement Hall today. How about coming to my place for a celebration?”
“Thank you for your kind offer, Senior Brother, but I’ll have to decline,” Lu Changhe replied with a wry smile. “I plan to focus on intense training for a while. After all, I’m the weakest in the Law Enforcement Hall…”
“Very well,” Li Xun didn’t press the matter. “Then I wish you swift progress in the Law Enforcement Hall.”
He then told Lu Changhe his new address and turned to leave.
Watching Li Xun’s departing figure, Lu Changhe bowed deeply again and called out sincerely, “Safe travels, Senior Brother!”
Under the night sky, Li Xun followed the directions on his identity token to his new residence.
It was a small courtyard with a bamboo grove in the back.
Though the area wasn’t large, it was peaceful and elegant, giving a refreshing and calming vibe.
Pushing open the gate, Li Xun found the courtyard spotless.
The main hall directly opposite the entrance could be used for receiving guests, with the bedroom on the left and a cultivation chamber on the right.
Everything had been cleaned by the servants.
“Not bad,” Li Xun said, satisfied as he surveyed his new home.
The inner sect disciples enjoyed far better treatment than the outer sect disciples.
While outer sect disciples had only a single straw hut each, inner sect disciples could have their own courtyard and do whatever they wished within it.
