章 16: The Second Task Has Appeared
"So what about the offer I've made to you?" Kang Xing asked as he took a sip of water from the bottle that Tan Jiang had just bought.
Gong Zan was silent for a moment when Kang Xing asked about the offer; he lowered his head, trying to think of the right answer to give to Kang Xing.
Currently, the three of them are in the VIP cafeteria at the school where a few people can only visit the canteen. For example, at this time, Gong Zan received a guest from an important person in the city of Wuhan.
'What offer exactly is the young master referring to?' Tan Jiang thought as he looked at the two of them sitting and looking at each other.
"Ah, is Young Master sure I can become the personal bodyguard that Young Master wants me to be?" Gong Zan asked, somewhat stuttering to Kang Xing.
Tan Jiang widened his eyes when he heard Gong Zan's words. 'Huh, Personal bodyguard? Doesn't Young Master already have me as his bodyguard? Is it still lacking?' Tan Jiang thought in confusion.
"Haha, of course, I'm sure. But don't worry, I'll call you when the next task is up!" Kang Xing replied with a big smile at Gong Zan.
'Next assignment? Hmmm, what task exactly did Young Master mean?' Tan Jiang thought in confusion as he glanced at Kang Xing.
"Tan Jiang, watch your mind! What are you thinking right now?"
Tan Jiang gasped when he heard what his Young Master had just said.
"Ah, no, Young Master, I was just curious." Tan Jiang said haltingly in response to Kang Xing's question.
"Hmm, you'll find out later!" Kang Xing said without looking back at where Tan Jiang was.
"Understood, Young Master!" Tan Jiang replied as he bowed his head.
'How did Young Master know that I was curious about their conversation? Hmmm, I should be more careful in my thoughts, Otherwise. I could be in trouble.' Tan Jiang thought as he tried to control his mind to be clearer and not think too much about what Kang Xing was talking about with Gong Zan.
"Okay, I'm willing. I'm willing to be able to become the personal bodyguard of the Young Master!" Gong Zan replied with a smile at Kang Xing.
Hearing what Gong Zan said, Kang Xing immediately stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Gong Zan. A sign that the agreement has been agreed upon.
"Okay, I'll be waiting to be able to have fun with you!" Said Kang Xing extending his right hand to Gong Zan.
"Understood, young master, I'll be looking forward to it!" Gong Zan replied while shaking Kang Xing's right hand.
<DING!>
[Second Task is...]
[White Crane Pearl - White Crane Martial Arts - Secret Art Room]
[How to apply will appear automatically when the White Crane Pearl is successfully obtained]
[Three Days Deadlines from today]
[Quickly complete the second task, then Host will soon find the clue about Hou Chang!]
Kang Xing widened his eyes when he heard the system inside confirm the second task he had to complete.
Kang Xing looked at the holographic data that appeared before his eyes; Kang Xing smiled widely as he saw that the Second Task had appeared.
"Young master? Are you all right?" Gong Zan asked while waving his left hand in front of Kang Xing's face.
"Oh yeah, I'm fine." Kang Xing replied with a gasp but smiled at Gong Zan.
'Ah, it turned out like that. Gong Zan is one way for me to get my second assignment. I think this is getting interesting. Ha ha.' Kang Xing thought as he let go of his handshake with Gong Zan.
"Gong Zan, is there an interesting place to visit here? For example, a place full of secrets, maybe?" Kang Xing suddenly asked Gong Zan.
"Ah, hmmm, I think I know the place Young Master is referring to!" Gong Zan replied as he thought of a place he knew.
'As expected, haha. You are a valuable asset to me, Gong Zan!' Kang Xing thought both satisfied and happy inside as he got a clear picture of the Second Task he had to complete.
"Yosh! Why don't we look over there?" Kang Xing asked as he rose to his feet.
"Ah, but we can't enter Young Master; we can only see that from afar." Gong Zan said while scratching the back of his head.
"Ah, I see, that's fine. Instead of being bored here, let's show the way!" Kang Xing said with a smile, asking Gong Zan to show him the place in question immediately.
"Ah yes, Young Master, this way." Gong Zan replied as he walked in front of Kang Xing, indicating the place he was referring to.
Tan Jiang stayed in the back row, following Gong Zan's directions and looking at the area around him.
The three of them headed to a secluded place far from the school, where the area is in the school's backyard.
"I think what Young Master meant is that…" Gong Zan pointed at an old building resembling a royal castle but smaller in size, which was in the middle of the lake behind the school.
The three of them were standing behind the fence behind the school, looking at the vast lake in front of them. And there is an old castle building in the middle of the lake.
<Smart Analysis>
[The object you are looking for is inside the old Castle]
[Sorry, System can't penetrate to see inside that old Castle]
[There is a protective spell surrounding the place]
[Magic Alert!]
"Wow, amazing! So beautiful!" Kang Xing said as he saw the data appear before his eyes.
Gong Zan and Tan Jiang looked at each other when they heard Kang Xing say that.
Because to the two of them, the scene that two they currently saw seemed ordinary. It looks even more spooky because the old Castle is uninhabited.
"Young Master, it's time to go home!" Tan Jiang said, breaking Kang Xing's thoughts, who was still enjoying the scenery in front of him.
"What is it?" Kang Xing asked as he looked at Tan Jiang. However, Tan Jiang remained silent as he signaled that the Gong Zan school was waiting behind them.
"Ah, well... Let's go home!" Said Kang Xing to Tan Jiang.
"Gong Zan, I think our meeting ends here first; I'll call you later!" Kang Xing said with a smile at Gong Zan.
"Understood, Young Master!" Gong Zan replied while bowing his body to pay respects to Kang Xing before finally Kang Xing left the place.
Tan Jiang and Kang Xing headed straight for the car; after getting into the Car, Kang Xing smiled broadly.
'I think something is wrong with Young Master,' thought Tan Jiang as he looked at the rearview mirror and pointed at his Young Master.
