Chapter 375 (2/2)
”He's fine. It's just a momentary unconsciousness,” answered Dong Wu awkwardly.
Only actual members of the Dong Clan would know that Dong Ziwan and Dong Ziming were actually siblings of the same father but different mothers. The two weren't exactly close. The only reason Dong Ziming had even come out to look for Dong Ziwan was so he could berate her when she was found.
”Good. You may take him back now,” said Dong Ziwan.
”Young lady, we came out to look for you. The Tai and Xing Clans have rebelled. The clan leader is very worried about you. Ziming is the same. Let's go back together,” persuaded Dong Wu with a hopeful expression.
”Go first. I'll be right behind you,” said Dong Ziwan. She knew how serious things were becoming.
When Dong Wu saw that Dong Ziwan was insisting to not return together with him, he did not force her. He nodded and dragged his injured body toward Dong Ziwan before he lifted him and left.
After the two left, Xiang Shaoyun said, ”Things are looking bad for your Dong Clan. Let me escort you back.”
”No, I can go back myself,” said Dong Ziwan. A hopeful look appeared on her face as she asked, ”Overlord Xiang, can you tell me your real name?”
Dong Ziwan was no idiot. She had long known that Xiang Shaoyun had given her a fake name.
Xiang Shaoyun rubbed his nose and laughed dryly. ”Xiang Shaoyun. Overlord is my nickname.”
”Xiang Shaoyun. I will call you Shaoyun if we still have the chance to meet in the future,” said Dong Ziwan, a look of reluctance to part on her face.
She then called out to Wu Lai, ”Uncle Wu Lai, let's go.”
She then soared to the sky and left for the Dong Clan with Wu Lai. The only reason she had rejected Xiang Shaoyun's offer was because she knew the Tai and Xing Clans must have prepared sufficiently before revolting. She did not want to plunge him into danger.
One ought to admit that Dong Ziwan truly had a kind heart. However, Xiang Shaoyun followed her without a second thought. He was not one to do nothing when a friend was in trouble.
But Devouring Ghost stopped him through voice transmission, ”Young master, don't go. There is something I need to tell you.”
The solemn tone caused Xiang Shaoyun to turn back and ask, ”What is so important that you need to say it now? She is my friend. I can't watch on without helping.”
He was making it clear that Devouring Ghost should not bother persuading him against following Dong Ziwan.
”I am going to break through soon, and I need someone guarding me during my breakthrough,” Devouring Ghost said. He added, ”That girl's clan needs a powerful ally. When I reach eighth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm, I will no longer fear anyone in the same realm.”
”How long do you need?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.
”Three days. No more than that,” Devouring Ghost answered firmly.
Xiang Shaoyun agreed, ”Ok. We will stand guard for you. Break through as quickly as possible.”
