Chapter 141: Zone (2/2)

Qin raised his head and stared at Lan Ming with a narrowed gaze.

”You see, this world is massive. There are realms after realms after realms. Cultivation is almost like a non-ending journey but it has to end, right? There has to be a limit. And our journey to that limit is cultivation.”

”We choose a different path but our end goal is the same. We are different people but we have the same goal. We dream of something different but we ended up colliding with each other. Often when you want to live your life in peace but you can't.”

”Because your life will definitely collide with other's life. And, if you aren't strong enough in that collision, your life will come to an end. Brother Qin, how about we make a deal? I will help you keep your sword cultivation unbreakable and you will help me accomplish my goal.”

”And, don't worry, I don't want to send you to death or even get rejected. So, I have established three terms. First, we aren't allowed to betray each other until we reach our goal. Second, you have to help me and in return, I will provide you with resources. Third, after we reach our goal, we will still be friends.”

Lan Ming slowly released his qi and creates a rope. He closes his eyes and started chanting a few words. At the same time, those words were painted on the rope. Lan Ming opened his eyes and held the one end of the rope while looking at Qin.

'Xiao Lan, what is this rope?' Qin asked through his thoughts and his voice rang inside the mysterious space.

”It is soul bond. And, those words were the terms he told you. This means he isn't lying. But, I don't think you need to be bound by this bond. As long as you don't get yourself in trouble, you won't face those situations.”

'You are right. I don't need to restrict myself for anything.' Qin agreed with Xiao Lan and shook his head.

”Brother Lan, I don't think I need your help for this. Of course, I would still like to be your friend and I will definitely help you if you need me.”

Hearing his answer, Lan Ming was startled for a moment. But, he quickly smiled and said ”Alright, Brother Qin, I respect your choice. We are still friends.”

Saying so, Lan Ming turned around and left.

”So, am I your friend as well?” Suddenly, a voice rang behind him and startled Qin. But this time, he quickly recognized the voice and turned sighed ”I am still not used to this. By the way, were you here the whole time?”
