On to the Next
“What happened to my mother?” Tian Ran tearfully tugged at Mu Yu’s shirt.
“Don’t worry. Lie Shang and Xiang Nan aren’t rash, and they know your mother is our shimu. I reckon they rescued her.” Mu Yu gently stroked Tian Ran’s back, inwardly expressing, Thank you, you two.
“I love that fiery temper of those two. I’ll save a drumstick each for them next time we meet, hehehe,” commented Xiaoshuai, earning a head pat from Mu Yu.
Ximen Buxing let out a record-long sigh. “Poor girls. I didn’t join Lie Shang because I couldn’t bear to kill such gorgeous flowers. Those two are cold blooded. Could’ve captured them for me to tr-” Ximen Buxing cut himself when he noticed Mu Yu stare at him and Tian Ran burying her head in Mu Yu’s embrace.
“Ximen Buxing, do you really not know where they are?” Mu Yu questioned.
“I don’t. Lie Shang has always been unpredictable. I don’t like that bloodlust oozing from him. As for Xiang Nan, I didn’t even meet him. Lie Shang just asked me about what to be cautious of at Secular World Sect and where Tian Ran’s mother was, then took off.”
Mu Yu was glad to know Lie Shang and Xiang Nan were together as it increased their chances of survivals. Recalling Lan Ling’er and company were still at Twenty-Five Kilometres South Garden, as well as the unorthodox faction gathering there, Mu Yu inquired, “What about Dustfallen Sect’s members at Twenty-Five Kilometres South Garden?”
“They were fine the last time I checked. I didn’t know there was a formation my shifu also cast on the estate; I can’t even trespass it. I’m a busy man, so don’t summon me, got it? Laters.”
Mu Yu pivoted around. “Gu Youjiang, are you going to return to Life and Death Sect?”“No. We’re not affiliated in any way at this point. Besides, they’d only kill me if I went back.”
“Since you’re injured, how about you rest at Formation Sect until you’re recovered? If you’re not careful out there, Third Heaven Palace’s rats might put you under their control. I don’t want to have to kill you.”
“I’m not an embodiment of justice. You best not take me in, or I’m not taking responsibility for what happens.”
“There’s no such thing as bad characters and good characters. I don’t consider myself a good character, but I’m trustworthy if nothing else.”
“You trust me that much? You’re not worried I’ll stick a knife in your back once I recover?”
“That’s not you.”
“Don’t assume you know me.”
“That doesn’t invalidate what I stated.”
Gu Youjiang whipped his sleeve. “Fine. I’ll go along with it for now.”
“I just have one request: don’t harm anyone from Pill Cauldron Sect or Formation Sect. Other than that, you have freedom. If you want resources to cultivate, I suggest you rob Ghost Gate and Celestial Star Sect’s survivors; kill them while you are at it.”
In other words: since you need to kill people for your zombies, go kill those scumbags.
“I know where to draw the line.”
The trio made their way from Secular World Sect to Ku Mu Valley, where they were scheduled to meet up with Zhuge Xiaosheng, who was there ahead of them.
“Are you hurt?” Mu Yu inquired.
Zhuge Xiaosheng smiled bitterly. “I am lucky to be alive. Although I managed to provoke Tian Yuehen into slaying Ghost Gate’s Gui Xiaochen, one of Third Heaven Palace’s Apotheosis Realm members came and nearly killed me.”
“How did you escape?”
Zhuge Xiaosheng cast his eyes onto the individual inside the valley. “He saved me, but he took serious damage. You need to check up on him.”
