PS: The third update came a little late, but it's finally here. Where's the cheer? Where's the monthly pass?
Miao Yi was taken aback, then remembered that Luo Shuangfei's storage ring was with him. Thus, he pulled out a few clothes from his storage ring and tossed them over.
With the clothes in his hands, Luo Shuangfei turned around and left. He ran behind a large rock by the stream for a while.
When he walked out from behind the rock, he had already recovered to his previous ravaged state. The wound on his fair neck had already healed, leaving only traces of blood.
Everything on him, including his storage ring, had been taken away. Who knew how he managed to heal his wound so quickly?
Luo Shuangfei bit his lip as he thought of something. Hearing the commotion, he raised his head.
He saw Miao Yi wave his hand, and the dried branches scattered on the riverbank fell towards the dying fire. The bonfire was gradually rekindled.
Dong! The Inversed-Scales Spear was stabbed into the ground. Miao Yi, clad in silver armor, stood upright, holding onto the spear. Against the gradually rising flames, the silver armor shone brilliantly.
Similarly, Charcoal snorted from time to time, his four hooves stomping around Miao Yi's side in boredom.
There was no movement behind him for a long time. Miao Yi turned around and saw that Luo Shuangfei had already climbed up to the large rock. He sat there hugging his knees, raising his head to look at the stars in the night sky. No one knew what he was thinking, but he slowly buried his head on his knees again. He seemed abnormally quiet, completely different from the lively, shameless bandit cultivator leader from before. In this valley, he gave off a feeling of emptiness...
After a long period of silence, Miao Yi slowly opened his eyes, as though he had made some sort of decision. Suddenly, he broke the silence of the valley, "You're a Loose Cultivator, aren't you?"
Luo Shuangfei, who had his head buried on his knees, was startled. He raised his head and saw that Miao Yi was the only one standing there with his back to him. He asked subconsciously, "You're asking me?"
"Is there a second person here who can answer me other than you?"
"So what if I am?" Luo Shuangfei's antagonistic tone came out again.
Miao Yi pulled out his spear and turned around. Under the light of the fire, his silver Vicious Wolf War Boots clicked as he walked over on the cobblestones.
Luo Shuangfei subconsciously shrunk his body, hugging his chest with both arms.
Miao Yi's footsteps came to a halt. He raised his head and stared at Luo Shuangfei who was sitting on the rock. "You don't look like a Loose Cultivator. How could a mere rogue cultivator have so many treasures? "
Luo Shuangfei immediately retorted, "How am I not like a loose cultivator? So what if he had a lot of treasures? Why don't you take a look at what I do? Today, I failed miserably. Otherwise, all of your treasures would have been mine. "
"Are you really a Loose Cultivator?" Miao Yi interrogated again.
"So what if I am?" Luo Shuangfei had a proud look on his face.
It's good that he's a rogue cultivator! Miao Yi said solemnly, "What's so good about being a Loose Cultivator? Not to mention the fact that you don't have a foothold in the Six Saints Realm. Although he could get some benefits now, it was not a long-term solution. He would be caught by the law sooner or later. Just like today, you fell into my hands. Fortunately, you're lucky to have met me. I'm a person who appreciates talent, and I can't bear to see you fall into depravity. I wish to give you a way out and give you a bright future. What do you think? "
Luo Shuangfei was stunned. "Give me a future?" He pointed at his own nose. "You said you want to give me a future?"
Miao Yi nodded. "That's right. I want to give you a future."
Luo Shuangfei blinked his large eyes and asked cautiously, "You want to recruit me?"
That's right! Miao Yi wanted to recruit him.
Originally, Miao Yi wanted to wait until Tian Qingfeng and the others woke up before killing him. Then he would take the armor artifact he was wearing.
But after thinking about it, he didn't know if Miao Yi had left some sort of backup plan on Tian Qingfeng and the others. If he killed this guy and found out that Tian Qingfeng and the others had a future threat, he would probably have to go to the Glorious Cloud Sect alone. He had already encountered trouble here, and he didn't know what would happen later on.
In that case, he would at most obtain an armor artifact and a spear artifact.
He had plenty of First Grade Transcendent Artifacts. That spear artifact wasn't that important to him.
The armor artifact was good. But after exchanging blows with Luo Shuangfei just now, he confirmed that it was only a defensive transcendent artifact and didn't possess any offensive capabilities. Otherwise, Luo Shuangfei would have used it a long time ago.
The Purple Marten in the beast sack was a good treasure. He wanted it the moment he got his hands on it. But after thinking about it, he realized that he couldn't wield it at all. It would be a waste to keep it.
In the end, out of all the transcendent artifacts, the armor artifact was the most useful to him.
But Luo Shuangfei was different. Not only could he wield these transcendent artifacts, but he also had good spear techniques. He was an expert in close combat.
If he could recruit him as his subordinate, he would naturally be able to use the other transcendent artifacts as well. For example, if someone was poisoned, he could order him to use the Purple Marten to save them.
When he returned and attacked Xiong Xiao or something else, this guy's good spear techniques and his entire body of transcendent artifacts would be of great use.
Recruiting him was definitely a good way to kill two birds with one stone. If he had the chance, he should recruit more talents. He couldn't put all his eggs in the School of Blue Jade's basket.
With this decision, the current scene took place.
Miao Yi nodded, indicating that he wanted to recruit him.
Luo Shuangfei had a look of disbelief on his face. He pointed at his own nose again and asked, "Am I mistaken? You want to recruit me?"
Miao Yi loudly said, "Why not work for me? It's better than being a bandit cultivator who has to hide from enemies all day, right? "
"Tsk!" Luo Shuangfei raised his head to look at the sky, his face full of amusement. He turned around and jumped down from the boulder. With his hands behind his back, he circled around Miao Yi twice like a lord, sizing him up. "Such arrogance. You actually want to recruit me. Who are you? What right do you have to recruit me? "
Miao Yi said righteously, "I am the Cave Master of East Arrival Cave within the Fifth Earthly Branch!"
"Wha … What?" Luo Shuangfei's body froze, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. "Cave Master? Did I hear wrongly? A mere Cave Master wants to recruit me? "
Miao Yi calmly replied, "Why not?"
Luo Shuangfei pointed at himself, then at Miao Yi. Suddenly, he burst into laughter. He laughed so hard that he staggered left and right, laughing so hard that his entire body was weak. He leaned against the boulder and hugged his stomach, as though his stomach was cramping from laughing so hard that tears were about to come out. He waved his hands at Miao Yi, unable to speak properly.
"What?" Miao Yi coldly said, "Could it be that a Cave Master like me can't compare to a Loose Cultivator bandit at the end of his rope like you?"
Swoosh! He raised the Inversed-Scales Spear and pressed it against Luo Shuangfei's chest, as though warning him that he was merely a defeated opponent.
Luo Shuangfei laughed so hard that he raised his hands in surrender. "Fine! You're good. But I want to know. Should I join that whatever cave of yours again? "
Miao Yi's expression darkened slightly. "East Arrival Cave!"
"Oh! East Arrival Cave. "Luo Shuangfei raised his hands in surrender and chuckled." What benefits will I get from joining your East Arrival Cave? Will it be more than what I earn from robbing others? "
Miao Yi immediately gave him a lecture. "How can robbing last for long?! But I can give you an official status, allowing you to break away from your nameless state. How many people yearn for such benefits? With an official status, when you ascend to a high position in the future, you will receive an endless supply of incense and power of will every year. How can the accumulated incense and power of will for millions of years be compared to the items you obtain from robbing others in a short period of time? You must know that a Hall Master already possesses more than ten thousand Orbs of Will in a year. How long will it take for you to obtain this amount of money from robbing others? On the other hand, others will continue to do so year after year, sitting back and enjoying the fruits of your labor. Don't tell me you're not tempted! "
Luo Shuangfei rolled his eyes. He reached out to push away the long spear that Miao Yi was pressing against his chest. With an expression that said 'stop messing around', he asked, "You know that you're talking about a Hall Master, but you're just a Cave Master. If I accept your offer, do you expect me to become a Steed Deputy of a Cave? Hall Master? Whether you can do it yourself is still a question. Aren't you helping me think too far ahead? "
The corner of Miao Yi's mouth twitched. His current identity was actually that of a Steed Deputy. He took a deep breath and said, "As long as you are willing to surrender to me and work for me, I guarantee that you will soon become a Cave Master!"
Luo Shuangfei waved his hand. "Cave Master Po doesn't care for that. I prefer being a robber."
"Looks like you don't want your marten anymore." Miao Yi threw these words at him and turned to leave.
"Stop right there!" Luo Shuangfei glared at him and blocked his path in a flash. "Are you trying to act shamelessly? Are you going back on your word?"
The Inversed-Scales Spear let out a draconic roar as it lashed out, forcing Luo Shuangfei to the side. "How do I know if you've really cured them of their poison, or if you've got something else up your sleeve? I'll keep your marten as a hostage for now. Once I've confirmed that they're fine, I'll return it to you."
"Bastard! You dare to trick me? No one dares to trick me! "Luo Shuangfei was furious. He raised his hand to grab at thin air, only then did he remember that his storage ring had already been snatched away.
He couldn't even defeat Miao Yi with his spear artifact, much less without it. After a moment of silence, he shouted at the advancing Miao Yi, "If I agree to join that whatever Cave of yours, will you return my Zi 'Er?"
Miao Yi stopped and turned around. "Yes! As long as you agree, I'll return everything to you. "
"Fine!" Luo Shuangfei extended his hand and said, "I agree. Return my Zi 'Er."
"Don't you know the rules? Only after you've officially joined the Immortal Register will you truly agree. I'll hold onto your items for now. It won't be too late to return them to you after you've accepted the restrictions of the Immortal Register. "
"You …" Luo Shuangfei was so angry that he laughed. "The restrictions of the Immortal Register? That's the biggest joke in the world. That thing can only restrict fools like you. You want to restrict me? That depends on whether Mu Fanjun has the guts to do so! "
Miao Yi only thought that Luo Shuangfei spoke out of anger. He scoffed and goaded him, "Since you're not afraid of being restricted, then why don't you try joining?"
"Fine!" Luo Shuangfei gritted his teeth. "I promise you. If you don't return my Zi 'Er later, you'll be crying."
"It's a deal!" Miao Yi nodded in agreement.
Luo Shuangfei flicked his sleeves and returned. He jumped onto a large rock and angrily bent his knees and hugged his legs.
After he calmed down quite a bit, he seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Miao Yi. His eyes darted around a few times as he muttered to himself, "If I can become a Cave Master here, I won't have to lead a bunch of subordinates in secret. Instead, I can openly rob others. That sounds pretty fun …"
Suddenly, he heard the sound of laughter coming from the other side. Miao Yi turned around, not knowing what that guy was laughing about …
