C36 (1/2)
At this time, the aura surrounding Zhang Shaowu was no longer the same as before. I simply could not believe that he had approached us with the same goal as Li Sheng.
”Then let's make a deal.” The light of the tattoo on Zhang Shaowu's body had disappeared, but he did not relax his guard in the slightest, and continued to maintain his best fighting stance.
Since he has already revealed his identity, the other party wouldn't dare to make a move on him. But at the same time, he can't openly help us either.
”Young Sect Master, please speak.” Li Sheng still maintained a very respectful attitude. Seeing him act this way, Xu Nuo and his subordinates did not start to act so arrogantly anymore.
”You didn't know at first that they were my unpolished jade gang's prey, so I don't blame you. But now that I've told you, do you think it's appropriate for you to snatch them from me today?” Zhang Shaowu took a few steps forward, and only stopped when he was a meter away from Li Sheng.
”Hehe, it seems that it doesn't quite fit!”
”So, it's good that you know it's inappropriate,” Zhang Shaowu interrupted him without waiting for him to finish, ”If you want me to say it, let them go. If you don't find trouble with them today, from tomorrow on, your Ghost Society will compete fairly with my unpolished jade gang.
”This …” Li Sheng rubbed his head, as if he was in a difficult situation. Young Sect Master, you're letting them go just like that? ”It's not good for me to go back and report to my superiors. I brought so many brothers with me, I can't just go back dejectedly without even moving my hand.”
”Then let's do it like this, you've worked hard today, deployed so many formations, brought so many brothers, mustered so many people here, and even invited Southern Barbaric's helpers. It's not good to let you leave just like this, take my command medallion, and just treat it as my unpolished jade gang owing you a favor, how about it?”
With that, Zhang Shaowu took out a carp shaped Jade Plate s from his pocket. The carp was clearly a piece of unpolished jade, it hissed and looked alive. There were two milky white gems embedded in its eyes, the body of the fish had deep red lines.
pretended to look troubled, and accepted the Jade Plate with both of his hands, and sighed: ”That's all we can do, Young Clan Master, as you have said, from tomorrow onwards, whoever gets it will belong to whoever!”
”No!” We can't let them go! ” At this time, Xu Nuo, who was standing at the side, rushed over, extended her hand and made a strange gesture, about to point at Zhang Ziyuan's face.
Li Sheng quickly stopped her, ”Lady Xu, since Young Sect Master has already spoken, you should at least give him some face!”
”No!” If we catch them, are you going to personally release them? ” She did not understand, and Li Sheng took the chance to look at Zhang Shaowu, who immediately opened his mouth: ”This is the problem between you guys, since Ghost Society can even invite the people from Southern Barbarian Gu Clan, then tomorrow's battle is definitely going to happen, my chance of winning is probably not big.”
He shook his head as he walked back.
”Miss Xu, since we promised them, we have to keep our promises. Otherwise, wouldn't our Ghost Society's reputation on the road of martial arts be put on the line? ”Let's go!” Seeing that her subordinates were trying to retreat one by one, Xu Nuo had no choice but to leave with Li Sheng.
It was not that Li Sheng couldn't tell that Zhang Shaowu wanted to protect them, but he found it too well.
In the end, based on unpolished jade gang's prestige, as long as Zhang Shaowu asked for it, they would have no choice but to give it to him. Furthermore, they would earn a badge and a favor, why wouldn't they do it?
After sending off Li Sheng and Xu Nuo, I finally heaved a sigh of relief.
I didn't even bother to ask Zhang Shaowu anything, because I believed in him. Someone who is willing to think of me at all times, definitely isn't someone who wants to harm me.
As soon as they left, the rain stopped.
”Thank you,” Zhang Ziyuan bit his lips and said stiffly, ”I, Zhang Ziyuan, owe you this favor.”
I was stunned! How could that arrogant ghost say words of thanks?
”No need, I'm not trying to save you. Su Su is someone my grandfather pointed out with his surname to protect. I can't let anything happen to her.” Zhang Shaowu put on his clothes again and took out the small Gossip Disc s from his pocket.
Just as Zhang Ziyuan wanted to refute him, he seemed to have thought of something and swallowed her words back. He himself was not safe at the moment.
I have a question, and I have to clear it up: ”I can understand why they are looking for Zhang Ziyuan, but I did not provoke any Ghost Society. Why do they want to kill me?”
”Su Su, do you know that you are immune to physiques?” Zhang Shaowu was fiddling with his Gossip Disc again, explaining to me while he did so.
”What is immunity to physiques?” What am I immune to? Ever since I was young, I've been suffering from quite a few illnesses! ”
”This immunity does not refer to your immunity to disease. Do you know why after all these years, in Spirit Master, there have been more and more Houtian realm warriors, but there are less and less who are born with the ability to communicate with others like you? ”
