Love has always been sudden, while only friendship can grow deep over time.
Before today, Jiang Dali could only understand the second half of this saying.
But today, having seen with his own eyes a man willing to give up his roguish ways for a woman and retire from the Martial World, he suddenly understood the first half.
However, it’s a pity.
When Flower-breaking Young Master met him, Jiang Dali, he could only be broken himself.
Because his specialty was subduing others with strength.
People like Flower-breaking Young Master could manage flowers.
Facing those who dominated through tyranny, they were easily subdued by Jiang Dali’s great force.
Temporarily leaving behind the gentle-natured woman, Li Wanrou.
Jiang Dali took Hua Zhezhi straight to the nearest county city—Qingyang City.
Outside Qingyang City.
A part of the Jingxiu Guild players had been waiting under the leadership of the Guild President, Jingxiu Yiren, for a long time.
Initially, at the foot of Hu Mountain in Kunlun Mountain Range, it was only one senior guild member and several other members of the Jingxiu Guild who had made contact with Jiang Dali.
Most of the Jingxiu Guild’s strength, including the guild president, was concentrated here in Qingyang City, closest to where Flower-breaking Young Master Hua Zhezhi was based.
Originally, given the strength of Jingxiu Guild, trying to capture the Outer Qi Realm’s Flower-breaking Young Master Hua Zhezhi was like a fool’s dream, akin to throwing an egg against a rock.
After all, the strongest players in the Jingxiu Guild at present, such as the Gathering Power Realm’s Jingxiu Yiren and others, were too far behind Hua Zhezhi.
They only had one choice: to notify the Six Gates constables of the Holy Dynasty about Hua Zhezhi’s whereabouts, to achieve the minimum mission requirement, in exchange for some Silver Tael and Cultivation Points and Potential Points.
However, the sudden mission released by Black Wind Village Chief Jiang Dali gave them hope of capturing Hua Zhezhi.
Thus, they made every effort to eliminate the players of the Bloodthirsty Guild to exchange for Friendship Points from Black Wind Village, hoping to get a chance for Jiang Dali to take action.
Eventually, the Jingxiu Guild got the opportunity they had wished for, and the Black Wind Village Chief was really willing to make a move.
Such an outcome naturally made the guild president, Jingxiu Yiren, extremely excited, too impatient to wait.
"President, we’ve been waiting outside the city for almost half a day now, from noon until now at dusk. According to the time agreed upon by Guardian Yang and the Black Wind Village Chief earlier, the Great Village Chief should be arriving soon, right? Why haven’t we seen him yet?"
"I really want to admire up close such a strong man-type NPC like the Black Wind Village Chief!"
"It should be soon, it should be."
Jingxiu Yiren said, her delicate and pretty face full of anticipation as she looked towards the evening sky now painted with twilight.
Suddenly her beautiful eyes widened as she saw a small black dot appearing in the distance rapidly enlarging.
A loud eagle cry came from far away at Heaven’s Edge.
"He’s coming! He’s here! It’s the Black Wind Village Chief!"
Jingxiu Yiren eagerly jumped up from her chair, completely lacking her usual composed and dignified demeanor.
"I see it! It really is... that bird, so black and so big, truly worthy of being the Demon Hawk! Just like a small plane!"
"Ah! I see the mighty Black Wind Village Chief! And there’s the Master of Tyrant Hall bound by him, this is truly Strong Man Locking Man."
"I’m so excited my period’s stopped."
The players of the Jingxiu Guild were all exceedingly excited, especially the female players who were fans, some of whom even screamed, showing none of their usual ladylike behavior.
And when the players of the Jingxiu Guild saw Hua Zhezhi on the back of the Demon Hawk next to Jiang Dali, they cheered even more.
But seeing the Master of Tyrant Hall tied on the back of the Demon Hawk, they couldn’t help but shudder, somewhat fearful of the prison-like treatment that seemed worse than death.
Jiang Dali looked down at the group of players, smiling as he stroked the Demon Hawk’s head.
Instructing the weary Demon Hawk to rest for a while, he descended from the sky with Hua Zhezhi.
Immediately, the group of players crowded around.
Players from Jingxiu Guild, looking at Jiang Dali who was a head taller than anyone else and entwined with dangerous black aura, were both excited and nervous.
Although Jiang Dali was unwilling to waste much time on these players.
But considering the "advertising effect."
He still spoke calmly with Jingxiu Yiren and other players.
Subsequently, he handed Flower-breaking Young Master Hua Zhezhi over to this group of players.
"Respectable Chief, you... you’re just handing over Flower-breaking Young Master ? Isn’t it a bit hasty?"
Jingxiu Yiren looked nervously and gloomily at the expressionless Flower-breaking Young Master Hua Zhezhi walking towards her, then uneasily towards Jiang Dali.
The surrounding players were also stunned, looking at equally entwined with dangerous black aura, extremely perilous-looking Hua Zhezhi, feeling quite unsafe just standing there.
They were supposed to capture Hua Zhezhi and send him to the Six Gates to be incarcerated.
Now this Black Wind Village Chief was just letting them take Hua Zhezhi, not even tied up, to report back. How could this not seem somewhat frivolous?
Jiang Dali, with his arms crossed, casually said, "Just bring him safely into the city and hand him over to the Six Gates constable there, he won’t run, and he wouldn’t dare to flee."
The players heard this, again looked at the expressionless, neither bound nor reluctant Flower-breaking Young Master Hua Zhezhi, somewhat half-convinced, marveling at it.
But since the Black Wind Village Chief had said so, and Hua Zhezhi indeed didn’t seem inclined to escape, they also let their guards down.
"Next, you just have to take Hua Zhezhi yourself to the county city for imprisonment, I won’t enter the city and cause a panic."
