Xue Ying said, “There’s no rush, big brother. I’ve already decided how to deal with Venomous Ying. As for why I’m not in any hurry to act, that’s just because the right time has yet to come. Thousands of years have already passed; a few months more is nothing to be impatient about.”

The White Sand City Lord stroked his beard, understanding the situation, and let out a chuckle. “It’s good that you’ve got everything already planned out. Remember, should you need me to act, just send me a message. Others might be afraid of offending that Ying Gu Liang, but I am not.”

“He is just an imperial guard. Everything will be fine as long as he remembers to be obedient, but if he does dare stir up trouble, I’ll just have to be thick-skinned and tell teacher about the situation,” Xue Ying said.

“That’s ruthless,” the White Sand City Lord praised.

Xue Ying was revered by the various superpowers for two specific reasons. The first had to do with his great potential for the future. The other, however, was his status as a personal disciple under His Majesty! The Bloodshed God Emperor actually placed a lot of value on his personal disciples. If Xue Ying truly went out to tell His Majesty about this issue, the outcome truly would be frightening.

Naturally, Xue Ying was simply stating his options. In reality, it was only when his own combat power could not solve the situation that he would resort to such a thing.

“By the way, Dong Bo.” The White Sand City Lord chuckled. “There’s this matter I would like to tell you about in advance.”

“Pray tell, big brother,” Xue Ying said.

“Ai…you’re already aware that I’ve made a blunder back then, and I was chased out of teacher’s tutelage,” the White Sand City Land began. “Every day until now, I’ve kept thinking and thinking, trying to find a way to return to teacher’s side.”

“This…” Xue Ying hesitated.

Back then, his big brother, the White Sand City Lord, had stolen one of the precious World Sand Heart Fruits from his master, which sent his teacher into a rage, breaking their teacher-disciple relationship in the process. Such matters were truly too difficult to come back from.

“I’m not asking you, Dong Bo, to help me right now. You’ve only been under teacher’s tutelage for a short while, and even if you were to speak out for me, it would likely be useless,” the White Sand City Lord quickly added. “I’m aware just how furious teacher was at that time, and even if I want to make amends, it will be very difficult. But I’ve lived for so long, and more than half of my life went to thinking of this one thing. I only wish to become teacher’s disciple once more before my True Deity Heart crumbles apart.”

“Big brother… Don’t worry. Once my combat power is a bit stronger, and I find the correct opportunity, I’ll definitely let teacher know about this matter.”

The White Sand City Lord immediately entered a cheery mood, laughing out in joy. “Good. As long as I have your word.”

At that moment, two streams of light flew over. One of them belonged to Ge Bai, and the other was an unfamiliar man standing out due to his suntan.

“Why haven’t you greeted His Highness yet?” Ge Bai immediately said.

“Bai Li Shang greets Your Highness,” the man politely bowed in a hurry.

Xue Ying could tell from Bai Li Shang’s aura that he wasn’t some ordinary stranger. He was likely a stage two World Deity who came in search of sanctuary. From the moment he began recruiting, including this person, there had been three stage two World Deities who sought him for shelter.

“Brother Bai Li, where have you come from?” Xue Ying asked.

The suntanned man immediately replied, “Reporting to Your Highness: I was originally traveling around the Deity world, looking for adventure and trying to sharpen my combat skills. However, I’ve already cultivated for more than two billion years…and I seem to be stuck on this road of cultivation. I’ve been traveling all over the place for a long period of time, and I’ve been gathering fatigue all the while. Now, I only wish to find a peaceful place where I can cultivate quietly. That is why I decided to seek shelter under Your Highness.”

Xue Ying lightly nodded. “Alright. Brother Ge Bai, take Brother Bai Li Shang to a resting place first.”

It wasn’t long after Xue Ying said this that Ge Bai and the suntanned man turned illusory and then disappeared altogether.
