Chapter 527 - Chapter 527: Chapter 519: The Sixth Cave Master Who Turned to the Evil Path (2/2)

“My name is Chi Xing, from now on, I’m willing to follow your commands, sir, and will never act on my own initiative.”

This person’s every word and action were too solemn, belonging to those who are very by-the-book.

Such a character trait is quite good, especially for a subordinate. Although a bit rigid, their loyalty is extremely high, making it difficult for them to betray you for personal gain.

“My name is Qin Niu,” he said. “Until I have avenged you, you may call me by my name or Ah Niu. After I have taken my revenge, you must serve me as your master.”

“Agreed!”

Chi Xing nodded solemnly once again.

Having no hope of taking his revenge on his own, he could only seek the strength of others. As a grown man without money or influence, the only thing of value he possessed was himself. To offer a lifetime of servitude was the only bargaining chip he had to sway those strong individuals.

“Brother Chi, there’s one thing I’m very curious about. I am just at the Spirit Qi Realm like you; why do you believe that I can avenge you?”

“To tell you the truth, I have been seeking chivalrous warriors willing to help me take my revenge for days, but no Immortal Masters of higher caliber have given me the time of day. Occasionally some Spirit Qi Realm warriors would come forward to ask about my plight, but as soon as they learned that they’d have to confront an Immortal Master, they were immediately discouraged.

You are the only one willing to help me seek revenge in all these days.

As for whether you can avenge me, I’m truly not sure. Anyway, having one more person is having additional strength. I cannot take my revenge with my abilities alone, so following your lead is just fine with me.”

The blunt truth expressed by Chi Xing caused Qin Niu’s forehead to be covered in black lines.

Qin Niu had thought this man recognized something exceptional about him, only to realize that he was merely embracing the idea of having an extra set of hands at no cost.

If he could take his revenge, that would be great, but if not, Chi Xing would not have lost anything. Instead, he would have gained a powerful ally.

“Fine, we’re both using each other! I’ll prepare to set out for Elixir City first thing tomorrow morning. You should get yourself some ordinary clothes and clean up your appearance to follow me as a guard. If that old thief can recognize you, it would be best to wear a mask to change your appearance so that he cannot easily identify you.”

Qin Niu threw ten pieces of silver money over to him.

“I have my own money,” Chi Xing firmly refused to accept the ten silver pieces.

He had quite the pride of someone refusing to accept handouts.

“Alright then, make your own preparations, and wait for me at the postmaster’s gate tomorrow morning. I’m in a hurry, so time is tight; don’t be late.”

After giving his instructions, Qin Niu paid him no further attention and went straight back to the post house.

After he opened the door to his room, Xiao Qing and Wang Wanyan saw him bring back two fox cubs that hadn’t opened their eyes yet, both filled with curiosity.

“Wan Yan, I’ve brought back two ‘children’ that need nursing. Take good care of these two little foxes on our journey. Later, you will bond with one and save the other for Cai Xian. This way, she can’t complain later that I was unfair.”

Qin Niu said with a smile.

“Where am I supposed to find food for them? They’re so small; can they survive?”

“You don’t need to worry about their food; I’ll buy some tomorrow morning. They might look tiny, but as long as they are properly fed, they should survive.”

“Why didn’t you just buy two adult foxes directly? Even those that have been weaned would do!”

She asked, quite puzzled.

Why would he buy such small cubs if not to cause himself trouble?
