"Zong Wei, the Ghost Lethal Assembly is near, and we will depart the day after tomorrow. I summoned you here today to ask you to prepare. The safety of the young lady will be entrusted to you."
In the first half-month after Shi Xiaole returned to the Left Sect, he was summoned once more to Ice Heart Pavilion. The person addressing him was Aunt Mei, who had a serious expression on her face.
The venue of the Ghost Lethal Assembly changed every year, so ensuring safety during the journey was the top priority. In the past, there had been instances where members of the two Sects were killed mid-journey.
Of course, the high-ranking officials of the Left Sect would not disregard Yun Chuoxi's safety, but this was also an opportunity to train Shi Xiaole, which they certainly wouldn't pass up.
As the leader of the Ghost Guards, Shi Xiaole had the authority to assign tasks to the other five Ghost Guards, as well as command the Ghost Riders, which gave him a great deal of power.
