"Chief Lan, you must be here for the assessment. After it’s over, my partner and I want to follow you to the Great Desolate Divine Horn," Ye Lu said hurriedly, trying to make her tone as cautious as possible.
This request caught Lan Xiaobu off guard.
He had assumed that this woman came to him because of the Nine-Leaf Crossing Nine Flowers, but it turned out to be something entirely unrelated to what he had imagined.
"Don’t you know that no one is allowed to enter the Great Desolate Divine Horn now? The place is poisoned; all cultivators who enter are sure to die," Lan Xiaobu said.
Ye Lu nodded.
"I know, but I trust you."
Lan Xiaobu looked at her speechlessly.
This time, he didn’t even want to say anything.
They didn’t even know each other.
Why should she trust him? Even if she did, he wouldn’t believe such nonsense.
"Everyone thinks you’ll accept those fifty thousand high-grade divine crystals and the Nine-Leaf Crossing Nine Flowers, but you chose the path of clear-cut enmities and grievances. I believe you are a different kind of cultivator. My partner and I have nowhere to run. We’ve been hiding in Yuheng Divine Dao City for a long time. If this continues, we won’t have any divine crystals left on us. And once we leave Yuheng Divine Dao City, it’s a death sentence," Ye Lu said, her eyes filled with longing.
Clearly, she hoped Lan Xiaobu would take her and her partner in.
Lan Xiaobu smiled.
He was indeed a different kind of cultivator, but that didn’t mean he had to take in strangers.
Especially when they were being pursued by enemies.
As a minor Spirit Nurturing Realm cultivator, he himself was always in danger.
What reason did he have to take a bullet for others?
