Facing Xiao Jing's confident assertion, Zhou You blinked, "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand."
Xiao Jing trembled with anger. He had long since come to terms with reality.
Those important figures, as long as they had even one good day to live, would not go to the front lines to kill enemies.
He hated and loathed these things.
But he still came to the front line, wanting to do his part and make himself stronger.
There was already a huge chasm between Loose Cultivator and Sect.
Old Dog, carrying two pieces of wolf hide, hurried back and stood in front of Xiao Jing, winking at him. How could he not know who Xiao Jing's words were meant for?
They were meant for this person's Dao Protector!
Possessing great strength but unwilling to act to eliminate demons, instead choosing to remain in the rear and observe.
Only when it came to Cultivating a Disciple did he make a move.
This kind of behavior was particularly detestable.
Old Dog appeased Xiao Jing, then turned back with a smile, "I'm sorry, the child is young and likes to talk nonsense."
Zhou You calmly said, "I really didn't understand."
Old Dog opened his mouth, then chuckled, "It's good if you don't understand, it's good if you don't understand."
Zhou You yawned, his mind on other matters. He was injured, even if it was just a graze.
This also gave him a reminder to learn some life-saving techniques as soon as possible.
Seeing Zhou You leave, Xiao Jing was furious, "One day I will be as strong as a Town Guardian Envoy! By then, I will trample all of you inactive Sects underfoot!"
Zhou You turned with a smile, "Town Guardian Envoy? Then you'll have to work hard."
Xiao Jing angrily retorted, "You look down on me?"
"That's not important. What's important is what you do yourself."
Zhou You walked back, "You're not tall, but your ambition is very high. As long as you don't die, you will definitely become a Town Guardian Envoy."
He raised his hand and heavily placed it on Xiao Jing's shoulder.
At that moment, Xiao Jing tried to dodge, but found he couldn't.
"Let me tell you, as long as you have the ability, those Town Guardian Envoys would be eager to abdicate and give their positions to you."
Zhou You said with a smile, "They're all so bored on the cliff every day, they're practically suicidal."
Xiao Jing looked up and glared at Zhou You, "How dare you insult a Town Guardian Envoy? Every Town Guardian Envoy has dedicated everything to defending Zhenyu Pass! They are the greatest and most respectable selfless powerhouses in this world!"
Zhou You was stunned, "Did I insult them? It's more like they insult me."
Xiao Jing's teeth ground audibly as he looked at Zhou You indignantly.
Zhou You withdrew his hand, thinking this person's temper was very strange. He was cold before, but now he's so irritable.
Who exactly provoked him?
Such a good young man, yet with such a fickle personality.
This was truly not good.
Old Dog said with a fawning smile, "Young Master, please don't mind. Men, you know, they always have a few uncomfortable days each month."
Zhou You shrugged, "It doesn't matter. But young man, your goal is much more ambitious than mine. You work hard."
With that, he no longer lingered.
Old Dog quickly said, "Young Master, the survivors in the city?"
At this moment, shadowy figures had already appeared furtively in other streets, each trembling with fear, still unable to determine what had happened.
"It has nothing to do with me."
Zhou You glanced around, not stopping. "You can arrange it yourselves, I don't have the leisure."
As he spoke, he had already walked far away.
As Zhou You left, the smile on Old Dog's face faded, and he sternly reprimanded, "What are you doing! Are you crazy? Do you know that if he had just given a signal, you would have immediately died at the hands of his Dao Protector."
Xiao Jing gritted his teeth, his eyes red.
Old Dog reprimanded, "Don't do that again in the future. Sects have their ways, and we Loose Cultivators just need to take care of ourselves. Why provoke them for no reason? Are you tired of living? It's a good thing he didn't bother with you, otherwise, for those few words of yours, that would have been treason!"
Xiao Jing lowered his head, "They occupy so many Cultivation resources, why don't they contribute? If those Sects just participated with all their might, they could definitely change the current situation."
Old Dog sighed, "Just live, as long as you live, that's good. Many things, no matter how ambitious you are, cannot be changed. Unless you can truly become a powerhouse like a Town Guardian Envoy. Although the hope is very slim, among the current three Town Guardian Envoys, one of them is a Loose Cultivator."
Was that slim hope?
That was simply a pipe dream!
Back then, a powerhouse emerged, causing rivers of blood and countless deaths, forcing various Sect forces to retreat into their mountain gates, not daring to speak much.
But with later changes, this powerhouse became one of the three great Town Guardian Envoys, and there was no longer any trace of him in the world.
But such a powerhouse, only one has ever appeared in history!
Old Dog glanced around, then smiled again, "What he doesn't care about is useful to us. These displaced refugees are also merit points. I suddenly feel that following this person and picking up scraps is also a good behavior."
Xiao Jing was surprised, "Old Dog, you..."
"You what, you."
Old Dog scolded, "I picked you up and raised you all these years, so what if I pick up a scrap? I've relied on picking up equipment my whole life. If I didn't pick up things, would you have a Cultivation Technique? If I didn't pick up things, would you have a Low Grade spirit sword?"
Xiao Jing pouted and turned his head away.
"Tch, now that you're grown up, you're throwing tantrums at me."
Old Dog snorted, "Remember, follow me and you'll...
Xiao Jing walked towards the refugees, "Three meals in nine days."
Old Dog angrily rebuked, "I say, why are you still holding a grudge, child? Wasn't it just that I got half-beaten to death for stealing? Otherwise, would you have starved? You ungrateful little thing."
...
"Did a fight break out in the city?"
On the small hill, Zhou Chen and Li Wanji eagerly watched that direction, especially the terrifying strike emitted by the Blood Shadow Wolf King as it ascended into the sky.
However, they were too far away and could only see a blurry scene.
Zhou Chen suddenly worried, "My second uncle won't be in trouble, will he?"
Li Wanji was surprised, "He wouldn't go into the city, would he?"
Zhou Chen was bewildered, "Would he? Probably not."
She wasn't sure either. Although he was her second uncle, they had only known each other for a short time.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chen hurriedly stood up, about to rush over to see.
"Where are you going?"
Zhou You slowly walked up.
Zhou Chen was immediately overjoyed, "Second Uncle."
Li Wanji worried, "Where did you go? Why were you gone so long?"
"I got lost."
Zhou You sighed, "It's really not suitable to wander around at night. You can easily go the wrong way."
Li Wanji breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems like there was a fight in the city."
Zhou You hummed, "I saw it."
As he spoke, he took out two swords and handed them to Zhou Chen, "I picked them up."
One Medium Grade precious sword, one Low Grade precious sword, both better than Zhou Chen's previous one.
Zhou Chen happily accepted them, "Thank you, Second Uncle."
Li Wanji, however, was in a daze. Wait, where did he take the swords from?
