74 Questions. (2/2)
”I guess I'll need to push myself to activate the required law within these wisps... The Martial Bloodline never ceases to amaze me...”
His eyes narrowed as a rare sense of nostalgia shined, but he quickly revoked such feelings as that killing-intent in the sky hastened!
...
...
”... So you want me to guard your daughter?”
A confused expression was etched on Su Min's face as he gazed at the old man.
”Yes! I have seen your heart, and it is perfect for the situation!”
The old man clapped as his face's smile widened even more, full of brimming hope.
Though, Su Min didn't really understand why the old man was going all through this...
”Then why don't you just force someone else to guard her? Isn't threatening to take their life enough to stop any apparent 'lust' filled thoughts from entering their minds?”
Common questions emerged that anyone would ask to the strange situation. Because, death is what most fear, so why would they go against the commands of a powerful overseer all to appease a heartful desire?
”Hahaha! Good questions, but you'll understand when you see her!”
A perplexing laugh escaped out of the old man as he awaited the answer anyway.
”... Mhm, so why don't you just force me?”
Su Min still wasn't having it as caution flashed.
”Well, if I were to force you then you might not work to your fullest potential, or even do something that disregards my command! No employer wants their employees to hate them when they aren't even there to supervise, right?”
The old man smirked as he continued to wait for the response.
”That's fine then... Uh, but aren't you a heavenly being, whilst I'm an ancient? Shouldn't you hate me?”
*Rumble*
”Bwah, that stuff is stupid if you ask me! Not that it matters right now, as my daughter will be going to the Martial section to train in a rare sect that cultivates heavenly energy! And as I said earlier, I need you to guard her and stay with her at ALL times. The Heavenly section is too boring for my taste, so she needs to feel the danger of the other energies, like your ancient nature!”
Su Min's eyes shined for the first time. If he was going to be transported to the Martial section then finding humanity would be a lot easier! If so then he could disregard using the wish he would be granted if he could find their location himself.
Well, that's if what the old man is saying isn't a lie. But, why would he lie?
”There are sects that cultivate Heavenly energy in a Martial Zone?”
Though, Su Min was still puzzled by that fact...
”Heh, you see that these three sections are formed to be biased to a certain energy, but that doesn't mean you can't cultivate and comprehend the others! You should know that sensing ancient energy in this realm is more difficult compared to doing it in the Ancient Section.”
The old man explained, and Su Min nodded half-heartedly.
'So there are three sections in the world... Though I wouldn't benefit from any of it as I cannot even go any further with ancient energy right now, so Martial cultivation is the only path I can take.'
As this thought entered Su Min firmed his mind...
”One final thing... How long do I have to do this for?”
”...”
”A year!”
Su Min froze whilst the old man's eyes narrowed.
'Agh. That's way too long... Hm... But, there will be a possibility if I am able to convince this old man's daughter to, let's say, explore and coincidentally find the human sect... I can't refuse anyway, as what will happen to me then?'
*RUMBLE*
A strange rumble shook around Su Min as his dormant aura sprung back and covered him in a haze of gold. An atmosphere of a pinnacle being spread, causing shivers to crawl on the ground and the chains that bound him.
*RATTLE*
”I accept!”
The old man's face lifted into joy as he appeared before Su Min and patted his back.
”Good good! You're bringing great help to this old man here!”
