Chapter 133 – Foolish Kindness

The Black Mountain City was much greater than Star Wind City, very grand and had tall buildings packed densely like bamboo. According to Mu Lei, since star spirit beasts appeared in this place often, all the tall buildings were built to defend against the star spirit beasts. The soldiers guarding the tall buildings were all at least fifth level.
With that, Mu Lei looked at Tang Tian.
“That sounds amazing!” Tang Tian exclaimed. No one could tell that he was pretending.
Mu Lei retracted his gaze. He was human after all, and it was not very nice of him to stare. He did not want to agitate Tang Tian, so he did not say anything. All these soldiers had at least activated one of their blood meridians.
Tang Tian thought that was amazing.
The tall buildings were dense and packed. How many soldiers would that take? If each of them were at least fifth level and above, then it was safe to say the standard in Black Mountain City was much higher than the Rainbow Constellation. When attacking the Yu Clan, Tang Tian passed by these tall buildings. If the arrows were shot by those fifth level martial artists, Tang Tian felt that he would not be able to dodge them.
Indeed, powerful.
A strong martial artist like Mu Lei looked down on these ordinary soldiers, but Tang Tian did not have such thinking. Every day, he was scolded by Bing so badly, it was as if he were even a recruit. In Tang Tian’s heart, any soldier that could enter the new army encampment was an expert.
Gu Xue, who was teasing Yaya, suddenly frowned: “Uncle Mu!”
She was smart and quick witted. She could understand how Mu Lei desired for each and every piece of grass in such a desperate, suffocating situation. But to Tang Tian, she felt different. Tang Tian had saved her life.
If it were another person, the first reaction when they were under such a tense situation would probably be running away. Tang Tian’s first reaction was instead to save her. Even in such dangerous moments, he did not think much, it was all about capabilities.
Tang Tian was a just, honourable and kind young lad.
Her heart was filled with gratitude. What does her fate have to do with Tang Tian? Tang Tian had saved her once. He had no obligations to be responsible for her destiny.
Mu Lei caught Miss’ gaze and blushed. He was at a loss.
“Into the city.” Mu Lei said quickly.
The guards who were guarding the city were familiar with Mu Lei and the others. But when they saw Mu Lei coming alone, they all had a weird look on their faces.
Mu Lei had a rich experience. The moment he saw the guards’ expression, his heart sank. He knew for sure something was about to happen.
“Protect Miss.” Mu Lei said lowly. The other guards’ faces were solemn as if they saw a big enemy.
Gu Xue buried her head. She only cared about teasing Yaya. She was super calm.
The soldiers did not stop him. He went into the city smoothly. But Tang Tian noticed there was a shadow in the dark. Tang Tian’s brows knitted slightly. He whispered to Gu Xue: “I can smell a dangerous stench.’
Gu Xue stopped all she was doing and raised her head. She turned to Tang Tian and smiled: “It’s unavoidable to have certain dangers.”
She placed the swollen faced Yaya back on Tang Tian’s shoulder lightly and said seriously: “You better leave. Find an inn and settle down. If you want to leave this planet, there is a difficulty. But you just have to find out more slowly and there’ll be a way. I wish you all the best. Thank you for saving my life.”
Tang Tian leaned his head and looked seriously at Gu Xue. In his brown eyes, glistened a ray of sincerity.
“You’re in deep trouble, aren’t you?” Tang Tian suddenly asked.
“I’m going home. What trouble could there be at home?” Gu Xue blinked at Tang Tian cheekily.
Tang Tian looked at Gu Xue for a moment then suddenly scratched his head and smiled: “That’s true. What trouble will you be in if you’re going home? Then I’ll be going off first!”
Gu Xue smiled lightly. The night breeze blew between her blue long skirt, and the golden sides were ruined quite a bit. Yet she was still so gentle and graceful.
Tang Tian waved to her and said loudly: “I’m going.”
He turned and disappeared on the streets.
Gu Xue smiled as per usual and said lightly: “Let’s go.”

The moment Tang Tian turned into a corner, he stopped.
“Huh? You wanna save the damsel in distress?” Bing floated out. His voice was full of sarcasm.
“She’s a very nice person.” Tang Tian answered irrelevantly. He looked up into the night sky and muttered to himself: “It would be a pity if a person like her died.”
“Who do you think you are?” Bing chided: “You’re a saviour? Or a big hero? Please, don’t think you’re somebody incredible just because you have completed the Chamber of the Eighteen Bronze Figures.”
“It’s not that.” Tang Tian shook his head, face calm: “But don’t you think it’s a pity?”
“What has this got to do with me? I’m just a military officer.” Bing shrugged.
Tang Tian rolled his eyes: “But I don’t wish for her to die.”
“After all I’ve said?” Bing was unhappy.
“Also, if we help them, we might meet Qi Ya again. I would like to spar with him once again seriously.”
Tang Tian left Bing with this sentence and left a shadow behind, heading towards the direction Gu Xue and the others disappeared into.
After Bing heard that, he was stunned. Although Bing was used to hearing crazy things from Tang Tian, there had never been a sentence that impacted him as greatly as this one.
Qi Ya was super strong. From Bing’s perspective, he was formidable. And he was definitely not someone Tang Tian could handle. But when he heard Tang Tian mention that he wanted to spar with Qi Ya, there was an immense will to fight. Bing was suddenly taken aback.
