Chapter 515: Drafted
Sage was definitely not pleased with the huge mess hed been drawn into, but so far Xiezi seemed to be quite truthful with him. At the moment she was the only person in the Chong Clan that he cared for even slightly. He also had to admit that if the Wu Faction hadnt tried to kill him in the past, his distaste for them would have been drastically reduced by the Jinxis careful attention. While they hadnt done anything when the Lang was wiped out, by the time they found out about it, it was already far too late to do anything. Killing a stranger for revenge and gaining an enemy with equal strength to yourself would not be an easy choice. Especially since that possible enemy instead offered gifts to purchase forgiveness. It wasnt the right thing to do, but Sage had no illusions as to the morality of the people in this world. There werent many things in this world that couldnt be forgiven in exchange for enough benefits.
Rationally, he couldnt fault the Chong Clans actions. On the other hand, he had also suffered because of them. By the logic of this world, because he was strong enough, that meant he should also receive benefits in return. Such a slimy, cutthroat place this is.
Somehow, the way that Xiezi chose to meet him had sent him into a round of contemplation upon the nature of this world. He shook his head and smiled slightly at the woman, only just now realizing what her response was, Youre right. Please come with me. Weve got an important job to do.
For a moment, he considered declining, but since hed been forced to side with one of the two factions, it would be far smoother to play along. Even if he wished to betray or disrupt them, compliance now would not preclude disobedience later. Sages response was quite simple, Lead the way.
Xiezi led the way, with her dozen guards surrounding them on both sides and to the rear. Sage felt no caution around these guards, even though he was surrounded. They were merely too weak for that. The dozen guards were at the high stages of rank 4, not even Core Formation Cultivators yet. For them to be guarding two rank 5s and a rank 6, it would seem completely unnecessary. Only, Sage realized that the large number of people was more of a deterrent. With such a group, the people on the streets immediately rushed to the side, and even the carriages would turn down side streets to avoid them. With their impressive looking escort of guards with shiny Chong Clan emblems they walked directly out of Golden Cricket Cove without interruption.Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.
Then she smiled and leaned her head against the huge pincer, giving it a hug. After a moment she stepped back, Uncle Zhuo, this is Lang Sheng, the new Lang Branch Head. Lang Sheng, this is my Uncle Zhuo, he will be escorting us. Come on!
After making a rushed introduction, she walked between the two giant pincers, and then ducked under the scorpion's huge frame, walking underneath it with a slight hunch. She disappeared from view, so Sage cupped his fist to the scorpion, My apologies.
Then he ducked and bent forward at the waist, walking underneath the huge scorpion in pursuit of Xiezi. Sage caught sight of her to the side and followed after, emerging at the side of the scorpion in time to see Xiezi grabbing a few handholds on the joints of the scorpions leg and then leaping her way onto the giant arachnids back. Sage followed after her and found himself on a wide back. Looking down, he saw that Tujiu hadnt moved and was instead just looking up at him. Sage gave him a wave and the bald man just leapt into the air, a graceful leap that brought him over the pincers to land on the scorpions back. Xiezi looked a little jealous of how graceful and powerful that leap was. She was a 5th rank cultivator, so leaping that far was quite easy for her as well, but she couldnt have made it look as effortless or graceful as Tujiu did. Of course, she had no idea that Tujiu was actually a giant vulture and moving through the air was second nature to him.
She had just been teasing Sage a little bit, not telling him where she was going, but her good mood was spoiled a bit by her jealousy. Sage paid no attention to what she might have been thinking, and was instead just admiring the hard carapace of Uncle Zhuo. Standing on top of it he got to examine it from up close and also had a much better view of the scorpions tail and the shape of its body. A sudden motion startled him and he realized that the giant beneath them had started to move.
Thats when he turned to Xiezi and saw that she had brought out a chair and small table from her Storage Ring. Ones that seemed to be perfectly fitted to cling to the scorpions back without shifting. She sent Sage a smile and started to pour herself some tea, looking far too pleased with herself to show off how comfortable she already was.
Ahh, so this scorpion is our ride.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
