Shen Lian heard the disciple's question and replied, "We are all cultivators of Dao, and we emphasize on the natural course of things. Even if I am in charge of Qing Xuan now, I will not force you to do something. So yes, this is entirely voluntary."
At that moment, a lot of cultivators felt relieved. After all, if they had to go out by the Chief's order and traveled the world without so much as relying on the sect's reputation, what were they going to do when they ran into danger? After all, cultivators did have a longer lifespan than the normal people; however, most cultivators cared about life and death, and most of them took great care of their body.
Shen Lian took no concern about the disciple's mood as he spoke, "Elder Hong, what about the task that I have entrusted you with?"
