1419 Shoulder to Shoulder (2/2)

Rou'er bowed to Ye Xiao with tears streaming down, and said, ”Thank you so much, master. Thank you, for bringing us hope… We are… We are never able to return the favor for what you have done for us…”

She was sobbing and couldn't continue talking.

Ye Xiao looked gently and softly said, ”We go through difficulties together. We never turn our backs to each other.”

He stopped and then solemnly said, ”We were, we are, and we will always be supporting each other. Pingtian is my brother, my family. It is what I should do to help my brother out. Please do not mention returning the favor or anything like that.”

Zhao Pingtian, who was such a tough man, actually couldn't help having tears in his eyes. His breath became heavy, and with a snuffling voice, he said, ”That's right! Master is right! We are families. We go through difficulties together. We never turn our backs to each other. We were, we are, and we will always be supporting each other!”

He was thrilled and sentimental, because of what he himself had said. In fact, he nearly mumbled it out.

Ning Biluo and Liu Changjun also had their eyes glittering fever.

[He is the same master to Zhao Pingtian, and also to me!]

[I will spend my life to travel the world with the master!]

[We go through difficulties together. We never turn our backs to each other. We were, we are, and we will always be supporting each other!]

[We will never regret!]

[Never regret!]

The three of them made up their minds at the same time.

”For the next a few days, you three just stay low. Do not take any moves. I have to improve you all first. Your mindsets are much better than ordinary cultivators, but it takes more time to truly make use of that. After the improvement, with your mindsets, you will get used to your new strength very soon. You will be just like the top assassins in Land of Han-Yang again…” Ye Xiao seemed to be happy.

He hadn't been able to find any traces of the organization's base before, and he didn't know anything about those men in black clothes. He always seemed to be calm and steady, but in fact, was anxious inside. However, things were different at the moment.

The clue that led to the Sky Eye Mountain might reveal the truth, that things were worse than he imagined, at least they got to know something important. That was a great progress. It was much better to know how bad things were than to be knocked out by the unexpected truth!

”After the war, I think we will have to leave this world for the higher realm, Human Realm Upon Heavens.” Ye Xiao said, ”Please work hard on your mindsets. You have to catch up. I trust you in your practical experience, but the mindset is not as easy as fighting experience. It is about a lot of stuffs. Experience, views, willpower… Improvement of strength is easy to accelerate, but wisdom and experience need to be accumulated for a long time. You never get it in a day.

”In this world, I have plenty of ways to help you to reach the top fast. However, in the Human Realm Upon Heavens, you will be on your own. I am afraid that even I will only be a tiny shrimp up in that world.”

Zhao Pingtian, Ning Biluo, and Liu Changjun gave a positive response loudly at the same time.

Their eyes were full of fever and longing.

[Human Realm Upon Heavens… Am I really capable of that ascending?]

Ye Xiao didn't hesitate to take out the Divine Yin Yang Fruits for the three men.

The three guys did have a better mindset than ordinary cultivators in Qing-Yun Realm. When the fruits were inside them, there was less spiritual energy leaking out than others. Erhuo, the stingy cat was so happy to see the three men leaking out energy. It stopped feeling bad for losing the soul power to Ye Xiao, just got out the Space, started to absorb the energy crazily. Rou'er was also absorbing the energy from the dan bead Ye Xiao just gave her.

What surprised Ye Xiao was that Rou'er digested the dan bead faster than he expected. Her soul cultivation level was rocketing, breaking through several difficult phases pretty quickly. Ye Xiao thought that after three of that dan bead, Rou'er should be able to reach the top of the level, which was as powerful as the top of Dao Origin Stage. It surprised him in a good way, but he was confused.

The three men were leaking spiritual energy, and Erhuo was busy collecting the energy. It snatched a little time to explain to Ye Xiao and said, ”That's not a big deal. I made those great dan beads. The soul energy is extracted from the essence of the superior cultivators' souls that we found in the Sky Soul Mountain. Those ancient cultivators, even the weakest among them, were beyond Wu Fa's level. The essence of their souls should be fabulous!

”Rou'er cultivates the soul. As long as she accepts the energy, and has endless soul energy coming in, she can keep improving fast. Not a lot of people like Rou'er could have such an opportunity in history. However, her cultivation foundation is weak. Although she has the soul energy of the great dan bead which was enhancing her in her spiritual soul, soul of the death, spiritual mind, and the soul itself, she doesn't have much of another efficiency of the dan bead. She will probably stop improving at the top of level nine of Dao Origin Stage. In fact, in spite of the special technique, she is worse than ordinary Dao Origin Stage top-level cultivators. It's not a big deal, is it?”

Erhuo was surely arrogant, so it didn't have a compliment to Rou'er. No matter what the truth was, Ye Xiao had never heard of a cultivating soul that could reach the top of Dao Origin Stage. Now as he had such a powerful supporter, he didn't worry about finding the moles anymore!

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the camp was silent. Dense spiritual qi and essence of souls were filling up the entire place. Pure souls of death were moving everywhere.

Jun Yinglian and Xuan Bing automatically protected the others. With these two ladies watching, nobody would disturb the improvement process. Besides, Ye Xiao was there too.

It was so quiet and peaceful. Ye Xiao made a long breath with relief.

Perhaps he was going to leave this world soon!

In fact, he didn't really like the Qing-Yun Realm. However, he only felt a bit of pain and sorrow in the heart…

Ye Xiao couldn't help coming up with an idea to run away from this place as fast as he could. He felt that he couldn't face this world after the war. Maybe it was cowardly to escape… but… he truly didn't think he could be a powerful man!

He closed his eyes, looked calm and casual. However, deep inside his heart, the wound was bleeding, healing, and bleeding again!

Who he was remained a mystery!

He couldn't find his birth parents… Ye Nantian, the Ye Clan… didn't end up well with him…

Ye Xiao buried all the pain in the heart, the very in-depth bottom. The pain was there. He just buried it.

When he was alone, the pain would rise up and he couldn't help it.

The rising pain would stir up the waves in his heart!

The pain was a secret to both Xuan Bing and Jun Yinglian.

He tasted it alone. He suffered alone.

Sometimes he felt that it was happy to still feel it…

The sore happiness.

[After all, I had it once.]

Ye Xiao grinned with self-mockery.

On the other side of the wall, Jun Yinglian and Xuan Bing were sitting on the floor outside the camp. They didn't move, but their lips were slightly moving. They didn't say it out though.

They were talking through mind connection.

”Have you found anything different from him recently?” Jun Yinglian asked Xuan Bing.

”Oh, a lot. He changed a lot.” Xuan Bing answered.

”What is it? How?” Jun Yinglian asked.

”Staying with him again, I felt that he… I felt that he is much quieter than before… There are lots of dead voices inside him… Anyway, he is unhappy.” Xuan Bing looked pretty worried. She sincerely felt sorry for him.
