"Sacrificing one for many, isn’t that the most reasonable thing to do?!" Chu Qian looked like a crazy woman when she laughed out in anguish, making all the people present shocked.
Even the girls who supported her as her underlings stepped back in horror. This Chu Qian was so ruthless, does people’s lives mean nothing to her? Does she mean that she will keep sacrificing people every time they fall in problems?
"Chu Qian! Mind what you say!" Feng Shao’s thunderous voice came as a shock to the girl who was in a roll because she could finally get rid of an eyesore.
His anger was justified, so the others also supported his decision to stop her. This time, he was no longer able to contain his anger, thus scaring her to fall back.
"S-senior brother..." Chu Qian stuttered as she tried to say something, but Feng Shao stopped her right away.
"Not one more word! I’ll decide what to do or not, stay back."
"No one is leaving our team, I don’t think you guys would let us off even if we do whatever you say. I’m giving up even one member of our team!" Feng Shao’s voice was firm and unshaken, which made the other guys think a bit.
"Yawn..."
On the tree branch, Yun Shu yawned lazily as she saw the drama unfold.
"It’s getting boring... What are these children doing? Not snatching the opportunity and striking them first?" Chi Yan complained, hanging on the tree branch next to her.
He’s been here all this time, following her while hiding his presence. Since none of the guys had higher cultivation, they didn’t notice the fox hanging around them.
"Hmm... these children are still a bit naive. I need to poke them a little, like a wake up call." Yun Shu observed the guys below calmly, from her point of view.
Whoever strikes first always has an advantage over the other party, no matter how powerful they are, they are supposed to get a backlash for being at a disadvantage.
"Kill them all, spare none. These guys are evil cultivators."
Yun Shu says as she comes down from the tree branch, walking towards them gracefully. Her every move was gentle like falling leaves, full of grace and elegance.
"Senior..." Feng Shao wanted to say why she came down, but he halted after seeing the coldness within her eyes.
"Ah! Looks like the beauty came willingly. Come, let’s play with us brothers." The guys laughed while mocking her cold expression, thinking that Yun was just a young and naive noble lady like the rest of them who was putting on airs.
"Attack these evil cultists! All evil cultivators deserve to die!" Feng Shao shouted in anger after seeing their greedy eyes that roamed on Yun Shu.
How dare they eye someone who was under his protection?!
However, before they could collide, suddenly the ground beneath them shook without early signs.
"What? What’s going on?" The group of gangsters were confused, while Feng Shao was cursing them.
"These evil beings! It must be them trying to scare us! Don’t hold back, charge!"
But before they could do anything, Yun Shu stretched her arm before them, gesturing them to stop.
"Senior?" Feng Shao was confused seeing Yun Shu stop them.
"Shh." Yun Shu put her finger on her lips, gesturing them not to make any sound.
It was already evidence that it’s not their doing. Something entirely different is causing this earthshake. Did some idiot go and provoke a high ranking monster, making it cause havoc in the land?
Yun Shu had no plan to deal with things like this, because her initial reason to come here was for keeping an eye on Bai Yunxian, while he does whatever he wants around the entire martial contest.
If a high grade monster were to cause havoc now, then it would make the groups scatter around, which may cause Bai Yunxian to get separated from their group and end with Yun Shu losing his trace.
It can’t happen! Absolutely not!
In this case,
Yun Shu turned towards the tree branch, staring at the person on it with a brooding glare.
"Someone provoked a high grade monster on purpose." She could see Chi Yan’ face, as well as the mischief hiding beneath this calm surface clearly, which made his face twitch.
"You want me to go take care of that monster while you play with a bunch of kids? What’s the payment? I’m not going if you can’t give me something of equal value!" He pouted, crossing his arms on his chest, refusing to look at her in the eyes.
"A Seven colored fruit, two Divine level artifacts. Deal?" Yun Shu was calm as water when she muttered the words out, though Chi Yan understood right away.
"Fine! It’s a Deal! Remember to keep your words!"
Even though he wasn’t supposed to leave Yun Shu’s side, this deal was too tempting!
Because just one seven colored fruit can raise a person’s cultivation to another level. And the effect on divine beasts like Chi Yan was several times stronger.
Just eating one fruit of this kind can make him rise two to three levels of cultivation, which was big for him to miss out on!
Besides, even if he isn’t by her side, nothing will happen to her. Chi Yan knew Yun Shu was strong, but he also knew there were many people protecting her. His absence wouldn’t matter much.
He doesn’t know when Yun Shu will be this generous again, better take the opportunity than let it go to waste!
"Fine, take care when I’m gone." Chi Yan flipped around and jumped over the tree top, glancing back for the last time before he was gone.
’It’s fine if it’s this guy, he, an overpowered protagonist of this world, can take care of this small matter easily.’
As she thought, Yun Shu turned around. There was still something she needed to take care of.
