Chapter 55 – Befriended in Private (1/2)
There are many alliances on the Dragon Island, Xiao Chen also didn’t want to go on without any support. It is not a must to join a certain alliance, but he wanted to befriend with some people at the very least. So that they can help each other out in the future.
He wanted to go visit Buddhist Yizhen secretly, he is especially careful this time, he didn’t get caught by anyone while passing through the dense ancient forest. He emerged on a mountain range with beautiful landscape.
This is precisely the location of the Dharma Alliance, next to the breathtaking landscape of the mountain range, there are as many tree houses as they are stars in the sky. They are leaning upon the forest mountain, it is a very creative concept. It is truly an unconventional world where the true experts live in seclusion.
Completely relying on some kind of instinct, Xiao Chen walked towards a tree house. When he was still a few dozen meter away from that place, the door to one of the tree house had opened, Buddhist Yizhen had a really sharp intuition. Meanwhile, the door to another tree house not far away was also pushed open, the other young monk was leaning on the door.
Xiao Chen knew, that must be the senior apprentice that Buddhist Yizhen always mentioned.
“Xiao Chen, I knew you will come to find me eventually.” Buddhist Yizhen smiled brightly.
The gray-clothed monk who is approaching is indeed Buddhist Yizhen’s senior apprentice. His religious name is Yichi, and just like Buddhist Yizhen, he didn’t refer to Xiao Chen as as almsgiver, he also didn’t refer to himself as a wise monk. Even though they are Buddhist monk, their etiquette is not much different from an ordinary person.
The two young monks are very amiable, Yizhen laughed and said, “You are a celebrity now!”
All of Xiao Chen’s “self-defense” had really turned him into a “celebrity”, he set up a huge conflagration to burn the treant’s valley, causing Zhao Lin Er’s team to gnash their teeth. And the confrontation with Chaos today was the first legal battle, it was very eye-catching. After that, he even went as far as trampling Damian the Spell Master down from the empty sky. A few dozens of alliances were startled by him.
“How about joining our alliance?”
“Are you not afraid that I will stir up big problem for you?” Xiao Chen laughed and said, “You must know that I have offended a lot of people. Those people from the treant’s valley harbor a hatred for me. There’s also the situation between me, Yaluo De and Chaos, we are just like the fire and water.”
Buddhist Yichi who was at the side laughed, and said, “We heard the rumor, today you pushed down Chaos with brute strength, beating that madman from the Barbarian Tribe until he felt fearful, and you even trampled Damian the Spell Master. You achieved complete victory effortlessly, you are indeed a true expert.”
Yizhen laughed and said, “I didn’t expect there would come a time where I would also make an error of judgment, I was even worried about you before. I didn’t expect you can completely suppress Chaos, you don’t need to worry as much if you join us.”
Xiao Chen smiled and shook his head, then he said, “I don’t want to bring you guys too much trouble, though I do appreciate your kindness.”
“We didn’t offer to shelter you out of kindness, it was because you had sufficient strength and qualification to join us.” The two of them were very frank, they didn’t try to hide anything, they stated very clearly that they were only interested in his strength.
Xiao Chen likes to make a deal with this kind of people, he talked bluntly, “The trouble I caused far exceeded what you know of, if you guys don’t mind, we can help each other out in private. Even though I didn’t join your alliance on the surface, if you guys are facing a crisis, I will certainly come to help. Similarly, if I run into trouble, I wish you guys will come to assist me. This way, we will have formed an alliance, but you guys won’t incur any trouble due to me.
Buddhist Yizhen and Yichi laughed heartily at the same time, they accepted the proposal jubilantly, this proposal was just too good for them.
There is one thing that Xiao Chen must confirm no matter what, otherwise he will be extremely worried and troubled. He wanted to know, if that youth evolved from the treant in the valley is together with Zhao Lin Er and her gang or not. Xiao Chen had a deep feeling of foreboding regarding that treant which had an aura as powerful as that of a fierce dragon.
Buddhist Yizhen actually know about the existence of that treant, it was the news spread by Yaluo De. He claimed that he was unable to see the limits of that treant. Due to this, many alliances are fearful of the treant’s valley.
However, according to rumor, that powerful treant is currently training by itself, no one is permitted to enter the depths of the valley. Moreover, under his constrain, the treants are not allowed to leave the valley without his authority.
