“What do you want? We saved your life!” Zhou Xuanji loudly asked as he held Jiang Xue’s hand.

The voice rang across the sky and pulled Qiu Baili’s thoughts back to reality.

He tried to squeeze out a smile and said, “Don’t worry, I’m not some demonic cultivator, it was the other person last time. I’m from a well-known and upright sect, the Hidden Sword Sect, have you heard of it before?”

Zhou Xuanji and Little Jiang Xue looked at him, they were lost.

Qiu Baili shook his head and laughed. Of course, how could the two kids know about the Hidden Sword Sect?

He descended slowly and asked with a smile, “Which clan or sect do you come from? Do you need me to bring you back?”

He expected that this child had an extraordinary background, and so he wanted to build a positive relationship with him.

Zhou Xuanji held on to the Frost Wave Sword and answered decisively, “No!”

“He’s not emanating any killing aura,” The Sword Spirit informed him. Only then could he breathe a sigh of relief.

Faced with an Inner Pellet cultivator, he did not expect himself to win.

Qiu Baili stopped in mid-air and said helplessly, “Believe me, I have no ill-intentions. Do I look like a bad guy?”

“If I’m a bad guy, I could have struck you without you knowing, but I did not.”

He stored his Frost Wave Sword and said, “Alright, I believe you, but you cannot touch us!”

He could not defeat him anyway, so he may as well treat him as a good person.

Qiu Baili looked at them and laughed. He landed on the cliff, waved at them, and said, “Come over, be careful not to fall.”

Zhou Xuanji and Little Jiang Xue were a lovely and adorable pair of kids, and Qiu Baili looked at them favorably.

However, last year, the younger child was ruthless in his attack, which reminded him to be more alert.

He did not want to die by the hands of a three-year-old child.

Zhou Xuanji was already on alert. He held Little Jiang Xue’s hands and went over carefully. The scene was hilarious to Qiu Baili.

They only began to converse after they reached the shoulder of the mountain.

To lower the guard of the two kids, Qiu Baili began with where he came from.

So, the demonic cultivator that he slew was a prodigy from the Demonic Inferno Sect called Ye Feifan!

Ye Feifan ranked ninety-second in Great Zhou Empire’s Hero Ranking Board.

The Hero Ranking Board is a ranking for prodigies under a hundred years old. Within the Great Zhou Empire, there are countless cultivators, and to rank ninety-second amongst all cultivators under hundred years old, he was indeed formidable.

Qiu Baili became Ye Feifan’s enemy ten years ago when Ye Feifan was slaughtering a village. Qiu Baili was passing by and saw the atrocities Ye Feifan was committing and helped the village out, which caused him trouble.

This time, Qiu Baili left the Hidden Sword Sect and was preparing to recruit disciples in a town under the Hidden Sword Sect’s banner. However, he encountered Ye Feifan, and the two of them inevitably engaged in a fierce battle.

Although Qiu Baili was not as powerful as Ye Feifan, he still wounded Ye Feifan, which allowed Zhou Xuanji to slay him.

Of course, the reason he was able to defeat him was primarily because of his appearance as a two-year-old child.

A prodigy that the Demonic Sect was proud of died in the hands of a two-year-old, who would believe that?

Qiu Baili sighed, “The reason I came to find you is to thank you for saving me. The two of you are alone and uncared for. It is dangerous to wander around outside. Why don’t you let me send you back, I don’t need you to do anything to repay me.”

He looked at Zhou Xuanji with eyes of sincerity.

The three-year-old kid before his eyes was just fascinating, he could not treat him as a child.

He even suspected that he had his body possessed by some senior cultivator, which could explain why his soul was rather mature.

Little did he know, he was half right.

However, he also heard some legends about certain clans with powerful bloodlines which gave birth to prodigies whom no ordinary person could compare to.

Zhou Xuanji waved his hand and said, “You don’t need to send us home, but you can leave us with energy techniques, pills, and enchanted artifacts. You can give as much as you are willing to.”

He did not reveal that he and Little Jiang Xue had no one to care for them, to prevent Qiu Baili from having evil intentions.

Qiu Baili heard his request and promptly took out the storage bag at his waist. From the bag, he took out two books, a dagger, and three small bottles made of white jade, putting them beside Zhou Xuanji and Little Jiang Xue.
