19 A healthy drink (1/2)
”Do you think about killing my daughter?”
”I wanted. Maybe I still want to.”
”But I will not kill. You have my word.”
”If she doesn't get in my way, of course.”
”That's good for me.”
Nero was in a large room sitting on a chair in front of the fireplace, and next to Xun He seated on another chair. They both talked, looking at the flames, thinking about other things.
Even though they talked about Xun Lan's life, they were thinking about the Dai Family. Xun He wondered when Nero would attack and whether he would accept his help as it was evident that he would not be able to defeat all the Dai Family's cultivators alone. At least for now.
Nero thought about how he could kill the entire Dai Family. First, he needed to increase his strength. Then with more power and his high speed would not be a problem. But he also worried about someone following him.
Nero had no problem if his enemies discovered his secrets before they die because he would not give them time to tell anyone. But it was different if someone followed him wanting to support and saw more than they should. It was bad enough that Xiong Zhelan and the Xun Family know about his Qi Guardian, even though they didn't completely comprehend what it was. Still, they saw the gauntlet formed by 'Little Red.'
”Ahem! Is everything okay with Marie?” Xiong Zhelan entered the room and pulled a chair close to the fireplace, joining Nero and Xun He.
”She'll be fine,” Nero said few words, and Xun He added that she was in the care of a good healer.
”Good, good. So let's talk about you leaving with me.” Xiong Zhelan did not want to waste time and was right to the point.
”I never thought of staying in this place for too long. But I have to end my business with the Dai Family.” Nero knew about Xiong Zhelan being in search of disciples and thought he would want to return to the Black Sword Sect soon after he did it. After seeing the fight against Wei Ping, Nero was sure that Xiong Zhelan would want him as a disciple.
”You must know that I will not take you as my disciple but to be my sister's disciple. She has a much better position than me at the Black Sword Sect.” Xiong Zhelan's eyes sparkled with admiration and respect when he talked about his sister.
Xiong Zhelan was not a tracker, but he could feel that Nero was not yet at the Qi Refinement's late-stage and defeated Wei Ping. So he had to be very talented, and Xiong Zhelan didn't think he would be the right teacher for such a genius. But his sister, who was much stronger than he, would very much like such a talented and peculiar disciple.
”While this does not bring problems for me, I have nothing against it.” Nero thought it was okay to go to the Black Sword Sect. If he didn't like something, he would think of other plans, but now it was a good way.
Nero wanted to strengthen himself and could only do so by drinking blood. He tried to suck only humans, so going south to look for other non-humans was not his goal. Of course, Nero would like to live among non-humans, but he could only think of peace after finishing Sarah's vengeance that was already his as well.

”What about Marie? We can wait for her to recover, but if it takes too long, we could go ahead and then send someone to come and get her.” Xiong Zhelan thought that Nero would not want to part with Marie after all. He thought it would be okay even for a non-human to go to the Black Sword Sect because he had faith in his sister's influence, and they could work it out.
”Marie has her life and her goals, so I don't think she wants to go further north just to find humans who hate her for no reason.” Nero knew nothing about Marie. But he didn't think she would follow him after being saved or anything. He also didn't want her to go further north as humans only know how to hate non-humans.
Nero wanted to stay until Marie was healed, and then they would follow different paths. Nero thought the path of revenge was lonely, and even if he used allies, it was only for convenience, and he would not want to use Marie because she was pretty adorable.
”I understand. Do you want help with Dai Family? You are still very young, so don't blame yourself for not being able to handle so many experienced cultivators.” Xiong Zhelan wanted to help because he feared that Nero would be impulsive and end up dying or seriously injured in the confrontation with the Dai Family.
”About that, you have to respect my decision. I don't want any help because I'm going to kill them all solo. I don't want you to follow me, and that goes for you too, Xun He.” Nero spoke decisively and gave Xiong Zhelan and Xun He a sharp look.
”We will respect your decision, so don't worry.” Xun He was not happy because he thought Nero would not be able to defeat the entire Dai Family alone, but he could not go against him either. So all Xun He could do was follow Xiong Zhelan's lead.
”But are you sure you can beat them now? With some time and preparation, you can defeat them, but you need to get stronger.” Xiong Zhelan wanted to help Nero train and teach him some martial techniques.
”I know that I can't defeat them now, but tomorrow I can. I'm almost breaking the second layer's barrier of Qi Refinement, and when I get it, I'll have enough strength to beat them.” Nero seriously spoke because he had plans to drink the blood from Wei Ping's body, who was in the red world during the day to climb up and get to the third layer attacking the Dai Family during the dawn of the next day.
”What!?” Xun He and Xiong Zhelan got up from the chair at the same time while they exclaimed in surprise. They both thought Nero should be in the sixth or fifth layer of Qi Refinement, but they never imagined that someone who killed a Qi Refinement seventh layer would still be in the second layer.
