Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7905

Chapter 7821: Feng Xiao and Zhen Jiang!

The General’s Mansion stands in the heart of Xinbing Town.

The entire mansion is encased in sturdy, imposing high walls of bluestone, its style grand and majestic, its layout vast and imposing yet not extravagant.

Before its main gate are stone carvings of auspicious beasts, symbolizing protection, warding off evil, and suppressing misfortune.

Even from afar, one can tell that the General’s Mansion is of high quality.

Upon arriving, Li Tianming felt an overwhelming aura of righteousness, even causing his Emperor Light-Year Avenue to hum and rumble.

Of course, it’s not to say there weren’t eccentric individuals among them, but they were likely few.

The Ancient Martial Immortal led Li Tianming to the General’s Mansion and then paused.

Li Tianming, accustomed to his rhythm, stopped and waited.

A short while later…

“Haha… Ancient Martial Immortal, you could have just informed me, and I would have arranged everything. Why trouble yourself to personally bring these new brothers here? Your time is so precious!”

Even before seeing the man, Li Tianming could hear a hearty laugh.

The ancient martial arts immortal was neither revered as a god nor treated with disrespect; rather, he was treated like an elder.

It seemed this was the town’s commander.

Furthermore, it was clear the ancient martial arts immortal had a good relationship with him.

Boom!

The gates of the town commander’s mansion swung open, and a sudden beam of light made Li Tianming squint.

First, his vision was met with a head so bright it eclipsed even the stars.

Then, an extremely large and robust middle-aged figure appeared.

This bald man had a square face, and his physique gave him a powerful and imposing presence.

Although he was smiling, it wasn’t a fawning smile; it seemed to come from a genuine good mood, a welcoming smile that made one feel comfortable at first glance.

The town commander’s authority was also evident in his eyes, though it wasn’t outwardly displayed at the moment.

“Commander Wang, how have you been?” the ancient martial arts immortal said with a smile.

“Hey!” Wang Zhenjiang slapped his thigh and quickly waved his hand, saying, “Please don’t call me that, we’re two ranks apart in the military.” “

Isn’t it normal to address someone by their rank in the military?” Gu Wuxian said.

“But…” Wang Zhenjiang was about to speak.

“Alright, don’t worry about this useless thing.” Gu Wuxian beckoned to Li Tianming, looked at Wang Zhenjiang, and said, “Look at the new recruits I brought to you troublesome bunch.”

Li Tianming stood tall and glanced at the person in front of him.

“Is this the legendary top scholar?” Wang Zhenjiang’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked Li Tianming up and down.

“Greetings, Wang Zhenjiang.” Li Tianming bowed respectfully.

“Well, you’re under my command from now on, any objections?” Wang Zhenjiang spoke directly.

Li Tianming smiled and said, “Of course I have no objections, and besides, I’m just a newcomer, do I have any choice?”

“If I don’t release him, theoretically I don’t, but if you really want to go to someone else, I won’t stop you.” Wang Zhenjiang smiled.

“Why?” Li Tianming asked.

“You came with Gu Wuxian, yet you’re ignoring his readily available support and instead running off to fawn over someone else. Only a fool would do that, and I don’t want fools. They’re useless to me,” Wang Zhenjiang chuckled.

These two sentences had already established Li Tianming’s position, placing him under Gu Wuxian’s command.

Li Tianming didn’t mind; in fact, it was a good thing for him, indicating that the other party was willing to consider him one of their own.

“Wang Zhenjiang, you’re quite humorous,” Li Tianming smiled slightly, then said, “Gu Wuxian has shown me great kindness, and of course I won’t forget that.”

“Good lad, not bad!” Wang Zhenjiang patted Li Tianming on the shoulder.

“How was it?” After their conversation, Gu Wuxian looked at Wang Zhenjiang and asked.

“Not bad. It was worth finishing my work early and coming back. I thought such a genius would be difficult to deal with, but it seems we’re not much different from my own juniors. Quite to my liking!” Wang Zhenjiang praised him generously.

“General Wang is a hero, sincere and upright. No wonder his mansion exudes righteousness,” Li Tianming said with a fist and a fist salute.

“That’s good,” the Ancient Martial Immortal replied with a smile.

In fact, Li Tianming had already noticed from the beginning that General Wang was straightforward!

Since the other party was straightforward, Li Tianming could be just as straightforward!

Without so many twists and turns, it would be much more comfortable to get along with him, which Li Tianming couldn’t be happier with.

The three of them then headed towards the General’s mansion.

“By the way, where are you from, kid?” General Wang suddenly turned and asked.

“General Wang, I come from the outer sect of the Laniakea Super-Star Republic,” Li Tianming said with a fist and a fist salute.

“No wonder, I could tell you were different from those people, haha!” General Wang laughed heartily again.

He made no attempt to hide his admiration for Li Tianming.

His efforts from the outer sect to the Great Wall of the Martial Immortal North Corona were themselves a testament to his extreme hard work and exceptional talent.

Such a highly talented, polite, and hardworking genius was rare indeed.

Moreover, such a person, if they progress smoothly, might even be promoted to a higher military rank.

It’s like how an ancient martial arts master promotes some of his juniors.

Some of these juniors have already surpassed the ancient martial arts master in status and position—this is a stroke of good fortune.

General Wang then looked at Li Tianming and smiled, “It just so happens that my subordinate ‘Beacon School’ is here today for their regular report. You can come and take a look, and I can introduce you to a few people.”

“Thank you very much, General Wang,” Li Tianming smiled.

Then, the three of them entered the General’s mansion in an orderly fashion.

Of course, Li Tianming was at the end.

Inside the General’s mansion was an extremely spacious courtyard.

This place didn’t resemble a garden; rather, it looked like a martial arts training ground.

Choosing a training ground at home, rather than pursuing the elegant style of a garden favored by the bureaucratic class, showed that General Wang was a pragmatic person.

As soon as he entered, Li Tianming could see simple stone tables and benches at the edge of the training ground.

Beside the simple furnishings, several people in military armor were drinking tea.

Their auras were slightly fluctuating, possibly indicating they had just sparred.

The entire training ground was still reeking of the intense fighting that had just taken place.

However, the friendly sparring didn’t damage their relationship; instead, they chatted and drank tea during breaks, a rare moment of tranquility in the military.

These people included both men and women, some appearing to be young, others quite old.

Their only common feature was the silver beacon emblem on their left shoulder.

Based on previous knowledge, Li Tianming knew these were “Beacon Schools,” a rank below “Governors.”

Each Beacon School commander could lead several thousand Great Wall Immortal Soldiers!

Furthermore, their armor differed in color.

This was deliberate, to minimize the chance of soldiers mistaking one for another during battle.

Of course, the entire Great Wall of the Northern Corona was vast, and while colors might occasionally overlap, groups serving the same superior were unlikely to be grouped together.
