Chapter 1173 - Mercenary Bi Shan (1/2)

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu smiled lightly and waved her hand: “I saved you because you were once kind to us and spoke out to protect us. We are even!”

The mercenary narrowed his eyes and looked down as he spoke slowly: “I have no relatives and friends. I have followed the Mercenary Team everywhere and I have saved at least half of the team’s lives. However, when I couldn’t fight anymore and was unable to walk, they left me behind. Not one of them spoke up for me. They even took my cosmos sack and all my belongings away, leaving me with only a rusty dagger. I will never go back to the Mercenary Team.”

Feng Jiu listened with one hand on her chin, but didn’t speak.

“Young Master, let me leave with you! I can be your guard. I will protect you. I am a Golden Core cultivator, once my injuries have healed, I can still deal with some people.”

“I don’t lack guards and I don’t need anyone’s protection! Shall I ask them on your behalf?” She tilted her head as she asked him.

“Young Master, you are my saviour.” He looked at Feng Jiu with determination.

Feng Jiu frowned as she thought about it. She knew from their first encounter that this person’s heart wasn’t bad. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come down to save him when she saw that it was him.

But to follow her? She had no shortage of people around her.

“Young Master, I am good at tracking and finding paths. I am notorious for my skills at tracking within the Mercenary Team. If Young Master takes me with him, maybe one day I might be helpful.”

Feng Jiu’s fingers on her chin tapped her face lightly as she thought for a while. Finally, she said: “In order to become my people, you must take an oath. The one thing I can’t stand is betrayal.”

He was happy when he heard those words and immediately raised two fingers as he prepared to take oath. Light flashed between his eyebrows as the mercenary said: “Young Master is Bi Shan’s Master from now on.”

“What master?”
