Chapter 1618: Chapter 1618: Are You Sure You Want to Go In?
“Brother Zhen, how can you say that? I was just… just thinking of our well-being,” Gu Qingyu’s cheeks grew even hotter at Brother Zhen’s words, and she couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
Seeing through things without pointing them out, how could his perceptive heart not understand?
“I’m just reminding you not to bring us unnecessary trouble. We can’t afford to provoke such people,” Brother Zhen warned her blandly.
“Uh.”
Gu Qingyu was momentarily at a loss for words.
Thinking of the corpses of the men in Black Clothes, she instinctively shuddered, feeling that the man suddenly lost his appeal.
She was just thinking, without taking any unwise actions. Besides, what if, during their journey, she was a bit more considerate and caring towards that man, and he started to have a favorable impression of her?
Who could be certain about such things?
“I understand, Brother,” she replied, somewhat reluctantly.
“Brother Zhen, will he be coming back?” another male disciple asked.
He felt that if they went to the Zhedu Sea Area, having such a strong person with them would be safer.
But he also felt that the man probably didn’t want them as burdens, right? Taking them into the Zhedu Sea Area wouldn’t benefit him at all.
“I don’t know.”
Brother Zhen snapped a twig in his hand and tossed it into the fire, murmuring three words.
If possible, he too would have liked to accompany that man into the Zhedu Sea Area, where they would be twice as effective, but that man… He had some other business here, for sure, and who knows when he would head to the Zhedu Sea Area.
Should they just keep waiting?
“Brother Zhen, let’s go to the town to see if we can encounter that person,” Gu Qingyu suddenly suggested.
She didn’t want to miss the man. At the very least, she needed to know his name so that she could get the Gu Family to inquire about him, which would give her a chance to get closer to him.
“The people in town are all from the Liushang Sect, are you sure you want to go in?” Brother Zhen glanced at Gu Qingyu and asked.
“Uh.”
Gu Qingyu was choked up again.
The people from the Liushang Sect were ruthless killers; she was indeed a bit afraid.
But thinking that the man was in town, she suddenly wasn’t afraid anymore. As long as he was there, he would protect them, right?
“If he’s there, what’s there to fear from people of the Liushang Sect?” she pouted and said.
“Junior Sister Qingyu, aren’t you thinking too much?”
Another disciple laughed lightly upon hearing her words.
“He hasn’t spoken to us this entire trip, nor has he killed a single demonic beast for us. Do you really think that if we encounter danger, he would come to our aid?”
“I…”
Gu Qingyu was left speechless for the third time, though she was unwilling to admit it.
“How can it be the same? We could handle those demonic beasts ourselves, there was no need for him to take action. If we really faced danger, wouldn’t he come to save us?”
In her heart, she thought that even if the man wouldn’t save the others, he would save her, especially since she was so beautiful.
“After all, we did sell him the Sky Phoenix Grass, didn’t we?”
Hearing her words, Brother Zhen bowed his head and chuckled softly.
They didn’t even know the man’s name, and yet his junior sister fancied that he would come to their rescue?
On what basis, just because they sold him a few stalks of Sky Phoenix Grass at a high price? While the Sky Phoenix Grass might be very important to him, for them, it was merely something they dug up casually with no significant use.
