Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 396: Old Grudges

Both men shrank their necks and slipped into the house.

“Hall Master, out of the batch of new recruits we brought in, three can now independently repair Spirit Gathering Arrays,” Zhao Tiezhu reported.

Su Ming nodded.

“By the rules, give them a raise in monthly allowance.” Su Ming picked up his teacup and took a sip.

The atmosphere in the room was familiar and busy.

Su Ming made a round, pointing out a few details for improving the formations.

Half an hour later, the apprentices and craftsmen each dispersed.

Only Wang Defa and Su Ming remained in the meeting hall.

Wang Defa walked to the door, poked his head out to glance at the courtyard, then turned back and closed the door tightly.

He walked back to the table, lifted the teapot, and refilled Su Ming’s cup with hot water.The stream of water poured into the cup, producing a crisp sound.

“Hall Master.” Wang Defa lowered his voice and leaned in closer.

“I heard that the Administration Hall has been looking for candidates recently.”

Su Ming set down his teacup, his gaze landing on Wang Defa’s face.

“What’s going on?”

Wang Defa pulled up a round stool and sat down at the side of the table.

“Great Xing and Northern Barbarian have been at war for four years now.”

Su Ming’s fingers stopped on the table.

The Great Xing Nation—that was his homeland before his exile.

“Mortal wars are something the sect usually doesn’t get involved in,” Su Ming said in a steady tone.

“In principle, that’s true.” Wang Defa furrowed his brow. “But this time is different.”

He lowered his voice even further, as if afraid someone might overhear.

“Over in Northern Barbarian, they somehow got their hands on an iron cavalry unit.”

Wang Defa gestured with his hands.

“They say those cavalry are impervious to blades and fire, and water can’t harm them. Great Xing’s army crumbles at the first contact.”

“They’ve lost sixteen cities in a row. Great Xing’s capital can barely hold out anymore.”

Wang Defa glanced at Su Ming’s expression.

“The Administration Hall suspects there are cultivators meddling on Northern Barbarian’s side.”

Wang Defa probed cautiously. “The sect is planning to send someone down the mountain to mediate this karmic entanglement.”

Su Ming said nothing.
