Path of the Lilies

74. Departure to Hell Island

Looking at the lake, Ye Jiao followed after Zhan Jing as they circled the shore. It didn't take long before she could see a small house with a man and several children around Lu Wan's age around him. The old man looked at Zhan Jing with arched eyebrows.

"You have just come here last year. What is it this year?" the old man asked.

Zhan Jing pushed Ye Jiao forward. "I accept another disciple. I'll trouble you to take care of her, old pal."

The old man scanned Ye Jiao before he stood up abruptly. He walked straight to Zhan Jing. "You lucky b*stard, where did you get another fine disciple? No, where in the world did you find this little monster?"

Looking at Ye Jiao, it was easy for him to conclude that she must have the talent above purple. Otherwise, it was impossible for the children to form their core below the age of 10. This kind of talent was extremely hard to find.

Even finding one in the entire four kingdoms in this area was already considered very lucky. The thought of seeing one at this talent in this lifetime alone was something this old man longed for. And his friend actually managed to pull the child to be his disciple.

The pain...

Was simply too big.

Zhan Jing shrugged. "I just have several lucky encounters. I need your help to take her to the island."

The old man furrowed his brows. "Are you sure you want to send her there? You know that among 100 children, only one will survive, right?"

Ye Jiao shuddered when she heard the low survival rate. Even though Lu Wan had warned her that it wouldn't be easy, she didn't think that it would be this much. In the next second, she calmed down instantly.

She didn't have any place in this kingdom anymore. If she was spotted alive, she was sure that the imperial family and Wei Family would never let her off. She had seen how Lu Wan was able to fight so well despite only being a rank 1, so she believed that this island would be her chance to get stronger faster.

"She's the one who decide," Zhan Jing patted Ye Jiao's shoulder.

The old man looked at Ye Jiao before sighing. "If you say so, old pal. I won't disturb you from taking a great disciple. Just a little warning. Even though she's a bit special, there'll be no one who will take care of her."

"There's no need for that. You just have to make sure that everything is as fair as possible."

"Got it."

The old man beckoned Ye Jiao to come nearer as he inspected the girl's body. He clicked his tongue as he realized how large her core was considering that she has just formed her core. Not only that, her muscle strength was far stronger than most people. Even if she was lacking in age, it didn't seem that she would have much problem to survive as long as she has the will.

"Wait here with the other children. The ship will arrive soon."
