15 Returning To The Escort Agency To Report, Ancient Words

At the border between Great Zhou and Great Yu, a horse galloped past.

The young man on the horse was none other than Zhang Xuan, who had returned to the Great Zhou Empire.

Zhang Xuan had gained a lot from this mission. Not only did he obtain the brocade left behind by the immortal, but he also found out the location of the cave that Ouyang Xue had accidentally entered.

At this moment, Zhang Xuan was considering a question. Should he just leave and take the opportunity to leave the escort agency, or should he go back to report?

"With my current cultivation, it shouldn't be a problem for me to protect myself. However, if I leave directly, there won't be a good place to stay for the time being."

Zhang Xuan, who was riding his horse, weighed his options and decided to return to the escort agency first.

After all, he had just obtained the brocade left behind by an immortal. Even Ouyang Xue had not fully comprehended it. It would definitely take some time for him to do so.

The things left behind by immortals were definitely not ordinary grade. If he could comprehend them completely, he might be able to improve even more.

Even if Zhang Xuan sped up, it still took him nearly a month to return to the escort agency.

"Zhang Xuan is back!"

When the news of Zhang Xuan's return spread throughout the escort agency, it immediately attracted the attention of all the escorts.

Even the chief escort, He Yushan, quickly walked up to him.

"Zhang Xuan, have you delivered them to their destination?"

He Yushan asked.

That day, he had led the escort agency to hold back those men in black, giving Zhang Xuan a chance to bring Zhou Lingzhen and her son away. However, he had also lost contact with Zhang Xuan.

After the men in black retreated, He Yushan led his men to search for them. There was still no news. In the end, He Yushan could only bring his men back first.

He trusted Zhang Xuan a lot. No matter how difficult the missions were, they would be completed successfully. He Yushan believed that Zhang Xuan would not disappoint him this time.

"I won't let the chief escort down. I'll send them safely."

As Zhang Xuan spoke, he took out the token that Zhou Lingzhen had given him and handed it to He Yushan.

"Good! I knew you wouldn't disappoint me!"

After confirming that Zhang Xuan had safely sent them to their destination, He Yushan smiled brightly. This made him admire Zhang Xuan even more.

"He's really young and promising. With such a young man in the escort agency, there's no need to worry about not becoming stronger!"

"Zhang Xuan has contributed the most this time. He should be rewarded."

The escort leaders who thought highly of Zhang Xuan also praised him generously.

Upon hearing this, He Yushan nodded and said,

"That's right. You should be rewarded for your contributions. From today onwards, Zhang Xuan will be promoted to escort leader!"

He Yushan had high hopes for Zhang Xuan. Now that Zhang Xuan had contributed to the escort agency, he should be rewarded accordingly.

Although Zhang Xuan had only been the escort for a year and it was a little too fast for him to be promoted again, the escort agency was not a place where seniority was ranked. Whoever contributed the most to the escort agency could be promoted.

"Chief escort is wise!"

"Congratulations to Zhang Xuan for being promoted to escort leader!"

Everyone praised and congratulated He Yushan and Zhang Xuan.

However, He Lingxue's expression turned ugly as she glared at Zhang Xuan unhappily.

A long-term worker had actually reached the same level as her in less than two years?

She could not understand why her father was so good to Zhang Xuan.

Needless to say, Li Feng and Zhao Zhen were furious.

They were still only escorts and yet the ant that they originally didn't take seriously, was actually more highly-ranked than their status in the escort agency?

The two of them stared coldly at Zhang Xuan, who was surrounded by the crowd. They were to be green with envy.

What He Lingxue didn't know was that the reason why He Yushan treated Zhang Xuan so well was to nurture a trusted aide for the escort agency.

A steady young man like Zhang Xuan would be valued wherever he went.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with everyone, Zhang Xuan declined He Yushan's suggestion to hold a celebratory feast and returned to his residence.

For this mission, he had been busy for nearly three months. It was not easy for him to come back, so he naturally had to rest.

After returning to his residence, Zhang Xuan quickly washed up. After changing his clothes, he sat at the table and studied the brocade Zhou Lingzhen had given him.

The ancient brocade was very soft to the touch, but it was very firm.

"I've never seen any of these words before. I wonder if they're martial arts manuals or something?"

Zhang Xuan stared at the brocade for a long time. He knew nothing about the ancient words recorded in the brocade.

Furthermore, Zhang Xuan also realized that this piece of brocade was very extraordinary. It was invulnerable to fire and water and could not be destroyed by sabers. This shocked Zhang Xuan greatly.

"As expected of something left behind by an immortal. It's indeed extraordinary!"

One had to know that Zhang Xuan was at the Connate Realm now. Not to mention a piece of brocade, he could even shatter a huge rock with a casual slash.

However, after trying a few times, not only was this brocade not torn apart, but not even a trace was left behind.

Apart from being shocked, Zhang Xuan was more curious about what material this brocade was made of.

And the ancient words on the brocade. What do they mean?

Zhang Xuan, who had been researching for nearly a day, did not find anything, but he was not disappointed at all.

The material of the brocade had already proven that it was extraordinary. Compared to the words on it, it was definitely extraordinary.

It didn't matter if he didn't recognize them. He could get someone to translate it for him.

Zhang Xuan copied the words and left the escort agency to the liveliest Yuelai Restaurant.

The entire Lin'an City and even the surrounding martial arts practitioners were gathered here. Some of them were extraordinary and experienced.

The reason why he went to the restaurant to ask someone instead of He Yushan was mainly because Zhang Xuan did not want to cause unnecessary trouble.

After all, this piece of brocade was given to him by Zhou Lingzhen, and Zhou Lingzhen's husband was old friends with He Yushan. There might be some unhappiness.

When Zhang Xuan arrived at the restaurant, he first listened to the interesting stories of the pugilistic world. Then, he chatted with the people beside him and intentionally changed the topic to ancient words.

However, like him, these people knew nothing about those ancient words.

Zhang Xuan didn't mind. He didn't expect to find someone who could read the ancient language.

In the next few days, Zhang Xuan went to the restaurant every day. He, who usually only listened and didn't say anything, became active in the restaurant.

On this day, Zhang Xuan came to the restaurant as he did a few days ago. As soon as he entered, he heard an old scholar discussing the language of this world with others.

Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up. He found a seat and sat down to listen carefully.

From the old scholar's conversation, Zhang Xuan heard the ancient words on the brocade. He immediately became expectant.

However, Zhang Xuan was not in a hurry to ask the old scholar for help. Instead, he first got to know the old scholar and deliberately wrote an ancient word to test him.

In the end, not only did the old scholar recognize it, but he also explained the meaning of this ancient word very clearly.

It was him!

Zhang Xuan knew that his hope of unraveling the ancient words on the brocade was on this old scholar.
