“So you’re telling tall tales again, aren’t you?” she asked angrily.
“Uh, well…” Wei Na was rendered speechless by her words.
He wanted to say that he was not telling tall tales; he really did not know what kind of demonic beast it was. However, in a sense, it was not far from telling tall tales.
“Master, why don’t we go closer and take a look? We’ll know what kind of demonic beast it is. Anyway, I know it must be a demonic beast. Besides, look at this place. Does it look like a place someone has lived in for a long time?” he retorted.
An Jiuyue looked around and agreed.
This place did not seem like it had been occupied for a long time. Hence, it should be a guardian beast.
However, Qian Jiyun was speechless at the thought of a demonic beast cultivating Original Soul energy. He had never even heard of it, let alone seen it.
“I only know that the demonic beasts on Wulong Mountain also cultivate demonic energy. I’ve never heard of demonic beasts cultivating Original Soul energy,” Qian Jiyun said when he saw An Jiuyue looking at him.
He had killed many demonic beasts at Huayan Peak and had never seen such a demonic beast.
However, there might be exceptions.
“Let’s go take a look first. It might not be a demonic beast, ” he suggested.
“Mhm.” An Jiuyue thought so too. She had to take a look first.
Worried, she looked at Young Master Nie and the others and reminded them, “Be careful later. If there’s any danger, run immediately. Don’t care about anyone.”
If they encountered danger, they might stop out of hesitation or because they heard their companions calling for help.
A pause like this would often cost lives.
“I know,” Young Master Nie replied cautiously and looked at his guards. “Don’t worry about anyone in danger, including me. Just take care of yourself,” he said.
Since Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue had said so, it was obvious that even they were cautious of the guardian beast ahead. He could not let anyone do things for him in a situation like this.
“Yes, Young Master, ” the guards replied, but they secretly resolved to protect him.
They had betrayed their original master, the Yueming Emperor, for Young Master Nie. What was the point of living if he was gone? They might as well die with him.
“Young Master, please walk behind me later,” one of the guards said to Young Master Nie.
He could be considered the leader of these guards. Among the guards, his Original Soul energy was the highest. Everyone listened to him. Naturally, he had to stand up and protect his young master in the most critical moment.
“That’s right, Young Master. Please walk behind us. We’ll protect you,” the other guards agreed.
Upon hearing their conversation, An Jiuyue chuckled. “Every pot has a matching lid!”
Previously, Yue Suiyu’s guards, including the leader, only cared about themselves when Yue Suiyu was in danger. To survive, they ate the medicinal pill An Jiuyue gave them, even if they did not know what it was.
That was the kind of people raised by the Yueming Emperor.
However, these people, who were also raised by the Yueming Emperor, were different after being sent to Young Master Nie: they were loyal to him.
This must be what people yearned for.
“Jiyun, be careful. If anything happens, don’t worry about me,” she whispered in Qian Jiyun’s ear..
