Old He, however, continued to wear a frown
“Grandpa, what are you so worried about? Didn’t you see that Uncle Iron has already captured them all? I kneasn’t someone ordinary,” He Xiaochan said
“What do you know!” Old He said as he slapped his thigh
Ever since Su Chen had couide, and even when he had chosen the path with more bandits there, Old He knew that Su Chen and his servant were likely one of the legendary Origin Qi Scholars
But so what?
Just as he had said, there were plenty of people with talent Experts were present even ast bandits
He had traveled extensively in these past few years, and he had seenwithout much restraint and consideration
What happened to them in the end? Did they not all die without even a proper burial, their bodies lost to the desolate wilderness forever?
In this kind of society, the number of talented individuals that died was not a s twelve bandits eren’t even Origin Qi Scholars didn’t mean much at all
