Chapter 360 – Full-time Teaching (Part One) (2/2)
Chen Changsheng returned to his senses and asked, “We are just leaving like this?”
Su Li said in a bad mood, “Perhaps you feel the need to wait for the soldiers of the stronghold to come?”
Chen Changsheng did not dare to say anymore. Taking advantage of the time before the murder in the inn disturbed the people in the stronghold, he carried Su Li and left in the snow and wind, traveling south.
In a dark willow forest southeast of the military stronghold, the two stopped and rested for a while.
Chen Changsheng was actually very confused. Since the people who wanted to kill Su Li already knew his tracks, why did the two of them still have to conceal their identity and not directly contact the Northern Great Zhou Army to gain protection?
Su Li said, “Those two guys were only assassins who did not make the cut. They probably don’t even know who I am, and just happen to be active in this region.”
Chen Changsheng asked, “Who are those two assassins?”
Su Li really was a little annoyed and said, “I already said that their people who didn’t make the cut, so how would I know who they are?”
Chen Changsheng thought about it and said, “You mean that the two assassins from before only knew how to kill and steal, but if your identity was found out, those that come will not be so weak, but rather be true experts?”
Su Li said, “It’s a very simple concept, do you still need me to explain it in detail? Why is such a small guy like you such a chatterer?”
Chen Changsheng thought that although he could not be considered as habitually silent, he was not very talkative normally. It was only because the senior did things so mysteriously, so he always felt as if he did not understand all of it, he was rather uncertain.
He persevered, “Since it’s like that, then why don’t the demons just reveal your tracks?”
Su Li said, “Because Black Robe is also uncertain of my location. All the people he has connections to in the human world, or in other words, the people that he has a mutual understanding of, are currently only running all over the place, looking for me. Of course, even if those people confirm my location, they won’t release this information.”
Chen Changsheng asked with confusion, “Why’s that?”
Su Li said, “Because other than the many people that want to kill me, there are also many people that want to help me.”
Chen Changsheng did not understand. Did it mean that if this senior’s location was known by the entire world, many people would rush over from thousands of li away to come help him?
“Who am I?” Su Li looked at him and asked seriously.
At this moment, Chen Changsheng had already gotten used to how to answer questions like this. He was rather sick of it, but also rather numb to it. He answered like a machine, “Mount Li Junior Martial Uncle, expert of the path of the sword, the idol of the younger generation of cultivators.”
Compared to the Black Dragon, Su Li obviously only cared about appearances and did not criticize his response for being unmindful. He said proudly, “Isn’t this enough? Since I am the idol of many people, if they know I am injured and I have difficulties, won’t those people hurry to save me?”
Chen Changsheng did not want to continue this topic. He asked, “Senior, what do we do next?”
Su Li said, “Obviously have you secretly deliver me back to Mount Li under the gazes of everyone in the world.”
Chen Changsheng thought that Mount Li was in the south of the continent, and was over several tens of thousands of li away. Just how difficult was delivering him back to Mount Li, and to make it so that no one knew… also, just how worried would the people who cared for him become?
“Senior, why not let people from Mount Li come and pick you up?”
“Idiot, Mount Li is the furthest from here. If I wait for the disciples and grand-disciples to come, it’ll be too late.”
Chen Changsheng thought that the closest was the Northern Great Zhou Army, but Su Li just happened to not want to go look for them. He could not help but speak seriously, “Senior, I don’t understand why you don’t want to ask the Northern Great Zhou Army for help. If it is because of dignity, I can go ask for the help. They will definitely send people to send us back to the capital.”
Su Li looked at him and sneered, “Your position as the principal of the Orthodox Academy is really that outstanding?”
Chen Changsheng replied that although his own identity of the principal of the Orthodox Academy did not mean anything in front of the senior, it still had some importance to the Great Zhou.
Su Li said, “However, have you ever thought about how if everyone’s eyes are on you, how am I supposed to conceal my identity?”
Chen Changsheng looked at him and said earnestly, “Since the people who want to kill you have already appeared, your identity and location will definitely be exposed. What we should strive for is time. Mount Li is indeed too far away, and so is the capital. However, the Great Zhou Army really is very close. As long as you reveal your identity, why should you be worried anymore?”
After saying everything, they returned to his opinion from the very beginning. It was also the matter he did not understand the most.
Su Li looked at him and sighed, “I really don’t know if you’re naive or just an idiot.”
Chen Changsheng stared blankly. He did not know what he meant.
Su Li looked at him and said in a manner that was like a smile, yet not like a smile, “You are always saying that I should ask the Great Zhou Army for help. Perhaps you’ve never thought… the people that want me to die the most in this continent are you Zhou people?
As he finished speaking, the snow on the black willow tree suddenly fell with a rustle.
The world was cold.
The ground trembled slightly, and several hundreds of iron cavalry raced across the snowy plains.
Those were the most elite Snow Cavalry of the Northern Great Zhou Army. They seemed to be currently looking for something or someone.
