Chapter 156 - It Is My Fortune To Have (1/2)

The sun was shining fiercely in the air.

In the forest, Daoya Old Man sat on one of the buildings.

He opened his eyes suddenly, made some calculations on his finger, and his face changed slightly.

“Murderous aura in the air. Bale aura in the fate pattern. An inauspicious omen. Could it be an attack from the enemy?”

He mumbled to himself, and his expression turned grave.

After a short hesitation, he came up to Zhou Xuanji. “Danger is coming. Run or fight?” He said softly.

Zhou Xuanji opened his eyes and asked, “How is the enemy compared to Lin Guanyu?”

Now that he was not weak, there was no need to run every time.

He didn’t believe that he could encounter people as powerful as Lin Guanyu everywhere on the street.

“Of course not as powerful as him, but the enemy is not weak either. According to my calculation, if we fight head-on, the collateral troubles that will come to us will not be less than Lin Guanyu’s threat.”

Daoya Old Man said seriously. He paused a little and reminded Zhou Xuanji intently, “If we run, we need to leave Chen Bantian behind.”

Zhou Xuanji frowned and said, “We have made a promise to him. If he could kill 10 Second Rank demons, we will bring him along. If we leave him behind now, what kind of people are we?”

He hated going back on one’s words the most.

Especially promises regarding life and death.

Back then, when he was captured by Xian Xianghua, he was really worried that she would go back on her words.

If he did not make those promises to Chen Bantian, he would have left immediately now.

“If you want to leave, just go anytime. If you want to stay, then wait for the fight. As long as you are clear about your choice and don’t regret it.”

Daoya Old Man said with a nod. A rare look of seriousness was on his face.

Zhou Xuanji’s mouth twitched and said helplessly, “Can you not make it sound like romantic love?”

What do you mean by ‘just leave if you want to leave, as long as you don’t regret it?’

“Yo, how do you know about love at such a young age?”

Daoya Old Man ridiculed. Looking at Zhou Xuanji’s handsome face, he felt a little dazzled.

It was as though he saw Lady Zhao Xuan when she was younger.

“Of course, I know. I began nurturing a wife for myself since I was two. You think you are better than me?”

Zhou Xuanji raised his brow and said with disdain.

Jiang Xue, who was cultivating nearby, blushed in an instant.

The others burst out in laughter, and Huang Lianxin laughed especially hard.

She was the person who followed Zhou Xuanji and Jiang Xue for the longest time. She watched them grow up, and what Zhou Xuanji said really made her laugh.

“Ahh.. my Heaven, why wasn’t I that smart when I was young?”

Han Shenbo beat his breast and stomped his feet in great frustration.

“Then, tell me, what is your view about love?”

Daoya Old Man asked as he chuckled. Zhou Xuanji’s proud expression was just like Lady Zhao Xuan when she introduced Emperor Yan of Zhou to him.

“It is my fortune to have, and I will never lose it.”

Zhou Xuanji replied, which made everyone speechless.

A sweet feeling filled Jiang Xue’s heart. She looked down shilly-shally.

Daoya Old Man was stunned. “So imposing.” He smiled and shook his head.

After that, he warned everyone, claiming that danger was about to come, so everyone had to be prepared for battle.

…

Three days later.

Zhou Xuanji, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes. The others, who were training or cultivating, stopped as well.

“Such a powerful Qi-signature. The opponent must have surpassed Astral Infant and must be an Astral Projection cultivator.”

Xiao Jinghong spoke. He immediately guessed that the enemy must have been powerful cultivators from Haoqi Alliance.

After that, he drew his sword and flew into the air.

“Go wake that young man up. The sun has already risen, and he’s still sleeping!”

Zhou Xuanji spoke with a deep voice. Chongming Demon Monarch quickly dashed into the grass patch and picked Chen Bantian up like chick.

Seeing Chen Bantian’s drowsy look, the bull demon became angry.

This guy claimed that he wanted to live, but he was apparently used to such a life.

He never cultivated at all and just slept for most of his time. Moreover, he would sleep for more extended periods as the days went by.
