2610 Leaving 4 (1/2)
Yun Yanli's reaction had clearly shown that he genuinely cared for the young palace master. He did not want to see her die at the very least. He took a quick look at Di Fuyi, and they seemed to have reached a mutual understanding without any exchange of words.
The two of them were both very smart men. Naturally, they understood each other's positions. Yun Yanli let out a long sigh but was finally ready to compromise. ”I can take you there, but you must promise me something in return.”
”State your request.”
”When you finally find Zhu Duqing, allow me to join the fight.”
”Are you sure that you are giving yourself a reason to die?”
There would certainly be an earth-shattering battle between Di Fuyi and Zhu Duqing. It would certainly be unsafe for any ordinary people to join. Without an arm, Yun Yanli would be a handicapped fighter. His involvement would spell his inevitable death.
He pinched his lips into a thin line and took a few swings with his left arm. ”I did not tell you that I am actually left-handed. I am better at wielding my sword with my left hand. If you do not believe me, we can have a quick spar right now.”
Di Fuyi was reluctant to fight him. The only thing he wanted now was to return to heaven as soon as he could, so he agreed to the condition.
Yun Yanli seemed relieved. ”Great. This time, I am coming with you.”
”Master, I shall go with you!”
”Master, I, too, shall go with you!”
Feng Ruhuo and her men all volunteered themselves to follow Di Fuyi and assist him in the final battle with the black bamboo man. However, Di Fuyi refused their requests.
These guardians were natives from the Shura World, specifically the Devil Kingdom. They would not be able to adapt to the living conditions in heaven as the celestial aura could possibly be lethal to them.
Besides, Feng Ruhuo dared not go against his commands, so she gave the rest of the guardians a quick, helpless look before retreating.
”Don't forget me! I have had enough of this lousy place. Master, take me with you,” Kun Xueyi firmly said while stepping forward with Di Hao in his hand. Di Hao was also taking Xie Zhi with him.
Since the gentlemen had reached an agreement, Feng Ruhuo quickly set the young palace master free by unblocking her acupuncture points. The hostage was no longer needed.
