Chapter 273: Roping In! (2/2)

“This pretty lady, is there anything else?” Cheng Yu spoke helplessly. Are they trying to stop him from leaving?

“Are you heading to the core of Death Forest?” Ning Yan enquired.

“Is there any problem with that?” Cheng Yu had no idea what Ning Yan was trying to imply.

“Junior Brother’s strength is out of the ordinary and us, Huaxian Valley disciples, are all very weak compared to you. I’m not sure if my junior sisters and I could journey with you?” Ning Yan spoke with some awkwardness within her tone. When Ling Hai and Wu Ming heard Ning Yan’s words, their complexions turned extremely ugly. However, they didn’t dare to voice out their displeasure and could only look towards Cheng Yu.

Ning Yan knew that her actions would certainly cause a rift to occur in their friendship, but with just their strength, it would be very hard for them charge into the core of Death Forest to search for Death Shrine. From the start of their alliance until now, they were faced with dangers after dangers. She had been confronted with numerous troubles and her few junior sisters had almost died a few times. This was something she didn’t wish to see. Furthermore, Wu Ming was currently injured. If they were to come across any sudden changes in the situation, it would certainly be very difficult for them to handle. To Ling Hai and Wu Ming, Ning Yan’s actions were a sign of her abandoning them to achieve her own goals. However, Ning Yan no longer cared about such a thing. What was more important than her junior sisters’ lives?

“No way! Bringing you people along is very inconvenient for me!” Cheng Yu did not even hesitate and rejected them immediately. Cheng Yu still needed to search for the Heavenly God Palace. How could he possibly bring them along? At that time, all his secrets would be exposed. He was already forced to bring along Tian Xue and Tian Xing. After he interacted with them for so long, he believed that they wouldn’t expose his secrets. However, things would change once there were more people. There was a chance that any one of them would reveal their findings. In short, the less people knew of his secret, the better.

“Oi! You, why are you so heartless. Even if my Junior Sister isn’t your lover, you are still acquaintances. Do you wish to see her get buried within Death Forest before you are happy?” Ning Xue immediately retorted. Ning Wushuang was unhappy of how Ning Xue kept on using her to scold Cheng Yu, but she still looked forward to Cheng Yu’s reply expectantly. After all, the reply he was going to give was connected to all her senior and junior sisters’ lives. Their whole journey was filled with hardship. Especially for their youngest Junior Sister, who was almost at her limits.

“How am I heartless? I have only met small steamed bun twice. Rightfully speaking, we aren’t even that close. Don’t cover-up the facts,” Cheng Yu argued ill-manneredly. Thinking up to here, Cheng Yu subconsciously turned around to glare at Tian Xue. Previously, they had used the same method to guilt trip him. Tian Xue and Tian Xing saw Cheng Yu’s glare and seemed to have understood his meaning. They quickly turned their faces away, as if they heard nothing.

“Are you still a man?! Even if it’s like that you still can’t put things this way. Don’t you know that by doing so, you are hurting the woman’s heart?” Ning Xue retorted at Cheng Yu. After that, she turned around, winking at Ning Wushuang. She then gave Ning Wushuang’s thigh a pinch. When Ning Wushuang saw the meaningful wink from Ning Xue, her eyes immediately moistened as her thigh was in pain. It was slowly overflowing with tears.

“You see. My Junior Sister’s heart got hurt by you to the point of her crying already. If whatever happened here were to be spread out, it would seem as if my Junior Sister is entangled with you. In the future, how is my Junior Sister going to get married?” Ning Xue praised Ning Wushuang’s acting. She turned her head over and scolded him as if she was furious.

“Er…” Cheng Yu was taken aback. They truly didn’t have much of friendly relations, but seeing how pitiful small steamed bun was acting, Cheng Yu’s weakness was once again about to be exploited.

“You people are just twisting words and forcing logic onto someone else. Cheng Yu and her couldn’t even be counted as friends. Why should he bring you all along?!” Noticing Cheng Yu had softened, Tian Xue got furious. No wonder this brat got so many wives. Everyone he saw that he developed feelings for, he would go for all of them. Tian Xue gave him a low kick as she argued with the women.

“We are talking to him, what does it have to do with you. Must be you, vixen, always bothering him. So, he dumped my pitiful Junior Sister!” Ning Xue pointed at Tian Xue, scolding her.

“Who are you calling a vixen?! If you are not clear on your statement, don’t even think of leaving here!” Tian Xue had also gotten angry as she yelled.

“You think I’m scared of you? Don’t think that just because you are a Golden Core expert, you’re terrific. I am not scared of you!” Ning Xue cried. However, her heart was in turmoil as the person she was arguing with was a genuine Golden Core expert.

“Enough!” Cheng Yu felt a headache the moment he saw them quarrel. He looked towards them and inquired, ”Which sect are you all from?”

“Huaxian Valley. I’m Ning Yan. This is my Junior Sister, Ning Xue. If she offended you in any way, I plead you to forgive her. But I truly hope that you can let us journey together,” Ning Yan introduced. As for Ning Wushuang, she believed both of them knew each other.

“What about them?” Cheng Yu pointed at Ling Hai and his team.

“I’m Cangling Sect’s Ling Hai. I hope that I can join you as well,” Without waiting for Ning Yan to speak, Ling Hai went forward to introduce himself. Cheng Yu looked at everyone before looking back at Wu Ming. Having offended two of the ten great sects, he should at least pull Huaxian Valley and Cangling Sect as his allies since they were also from the ten great sects. This could avoid him being isolated by everyone.

“Alright then. Both of your groups will follow my lead!” Cheng Yu pondered before coming to a decision.
