Su Shan 'er was the chief of the Beggar Sect. Not many people knew where he came from. When he was 18 years old, he appeared in the Great Xia Empire and subdued all the members of the Beggar Sect. The old chief willingly gave up his position to him. After he took over the position, he quickly carried out a series of adjustments, raising the reputation of the Beggar Sect in the Great Xia Empire. He also established a motto, turning the Beggar Sect into a well-trained troop. He even formed an army to take part in some small scale battles at the border and was rewarded by the Emperor at that time.
Two years ago, Su Shan 'er disappeared and the Beggar Sect was taken over by Liang Shiqi. The Beggar Sect slowly returned to their lazy habits.
This time, Su Shan 'er's return was very sudden. He took the initiative to follow Yang Wu back to his residence. Yang Wu did not know what he wanted to do at that moment.
After returning to his residence, Yang Wu ordered the servants to prepare good food and wine. He also ordered the servants to bring Ai Sha to take a bath.
Why did Yang Wu bring Ai Sha back?
It was something he promised Ai Fei Li in the Wolf Smoke Mountain Prison. Back then, Ai Fei used a general skill, "Scud", in exchange for a task. That task was to ask Yang Wu to take care of his wife and daughter.
Ever since Yang Wu returned to the Royal City, he did not have the time to inquire about Ai Fei Li's wife and daughter. It was only recently that he ordered his subordinates to investigate. After many days of investigation, Ni Dali and Yu Dong finally found Ai Sha. She should be the person Ai Fei Li was looking for.
Unfortunately, Ai Sha's mother was already dead.
Yang Wu was already a Royal Highness, but he did not forget his promise to Ai Fei Li. Furthermore, he already knew about Ai Sha's experiences. He planned to keep Ai Sha by his side and nurture her. As for how far she could grow, it was not something he could predict.
After Aisha had changed into a clean set of clothes, she was like a fresh flower that had just bloomed. She looked so attractive. Her oval face was very charming, and she had a pair of extremely lively eyes. She had a tall nose, thin lips, and delicate earlobes. She was beautiful no matter how one looked at her. The only pity was that her chest was slightly flat. This might be caused by malnutrition since childhood.
When Yang Wu and Su Shan 'er saw Ai Sha, their eyes lit up.
Su Shan 'er even blurted out, "What a beauty....... She will be a little beauty in a few years' time...."
Yang Wu did not express his opinion. In his heart, he agreed with Su Shan 'er.
This was the first time that Ai Sha was praised like this. Her face blushed as she glanced at Yang Wu from time to time. Her heart was beating fast.
Even though she grew up in the slums, she was still a shy girl.
"You are Ai Sha, right? Are you willing to be my disciple?" Su Shan 'er asked directly.
Yang Wu showed a trace of surprise, but quickly regained his composure. He also wanted to know what decision Ai Sha would make.
Ai Sha's eyes flashed with a trace of craftiness, "Are you very strong?"
Su Shan 'er puffed out his chest and said, "Of course. Otherwise, how could I be in charge of the Beggar's Clan?"
"Is the Beggar Clan as strong as the prince's men?" Ai Sha asked again.
Su Shan 'er choked on his words and said, "Don't underestimate the Beggar Clan. We can gather thousands of men in King City. There are also people from other cities. We definitely have more than twenty thousand men. As long as you become my disciple, I will pass the position of the Beggar Clan's leader to you. You will be a big shot above everyone else."
"The leader of the Beggar Clan is also a beggar. I don't want to be a beggar!" Ai Sha showed a pitiful look.
This made Su Shan 'er a little embarrassed.
"You look down on beggars. Aren't you a beggar yourself?" Su Shan 'er asked.
"I am not a beggar. Your whole family are beggars!" Ai Sha retorted.
Su Shan 'er wanted to say something, but Yang Wu waved his hand and said, "That's enough. Let's eat and drink first before we talk."
Soon, a table full of sumptuous food was placed on the table.
Su Shan 'er was very interested in the food. His eyes shone brightly as he began to eat and drink. He really looked like a hungry beggar.
Yang Wu did not mind Su Shan 'er's lack of manners. He called out to Ai Sha who did not dare to eat and said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I have something to talk to you about after we eat."
"Okay," Aisha answered softly, and began to eat slowly with an unnatural look on her face.
In this unfamiliar environment, she was not very open. She kept thinking in her heart, "Could it be that he has taken a fancy to me and wants to follow Liang Oke and take me as his wife? If that's the case, should I accept or not?"
As she thought, she glanced at Yang Wu from time to time. Her cheeks could not help but blush. She looked very charming.
Yang Wu did not eat much. He paid attention to the two's actions and thought about something in his heart.
After the meal, Su Shan 'er patted his stomach and said, "You rich people really don't know the hardships of the world. You eat so well every day. Who knows how many people starve to death outside. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
"Why should it hurt? They have hands and feet. Can't they fight for it with their own efforts? In the end, it's because they are lazy. These people do not deserve sympathy. "Yang Wu retorted.
Su Shan 'er picked his ears and said, "You're right. There are some decent people, but most of them are crippled. They were born poor and had no one to take care of them. They had no choice but to walk the path of begging. You rich people don't even know how to give them charity."
"How do you know that we don't give them charity?" Yang Wu asked back. He paused for a moment and said, "Besides, you know my experience. When I was down and out, I was even worse than a beggar. Beggars have freedom, but I was completely imprisoned and tortured. Today, I am lucky enough to sit on the prince's seat. Do you know why?"
Su Shan 'er simply said, "Of course it's because you were lucky enough to be taken in as a disciple by a master in the transcendent world. Otherwise, I don't believe that you would be able to rise again."
Yang Wu laughed and said, "Hehe, if you think so, this Prince has nothing to say. Let's talk about you first. Did you come with this Prince to avenge your Beggar Clan's disciples, or do you have other plans?"
Yang Wu's rise was related to a fortuitous encounter. Without his perseverance and strong will, he would have died in the Mountain Prison. All of this was the result of his hard work.
From Yang Wu's point of view, he did not sympathize with the beggars. If they were willing to fall, no one could stop them.
Su Shan 'er was surprised. He did not expect Yang Wu to be so direct. He did not hide anything and looked at Yang Wu and said, "Your Highness, I am actually your guide."
"What guide?"
"I am your guide to the transcendent world." Su Shan 'er said calmly. He then added, "It is no longer suitable for you to stay here."
This time, Yang Wu was stunned.
Su Shan 'er's answer made him even more surprised and confused.
Yang Wu's mind worked quickly. After a short moment of daze, he laughed and said, "It seems that whether I go to the transcendent world or not is my freedom, right?"
"Under normal circumstances, that is the case. However, there is an unwritten rule. For a transcendent genius like you, it is not suitable for you to grow in the mortal world. You must have a wider space and stage. That is where you should be. Don't you want to go to the next level? Don't you want to pursue the path of immortality?" Su Shan 'er said seriously.
"You are right. However, whether I go or not is up to me. It is not up to you, the guide, right?" Yang Wu retorted.
"Hehe, that might not be the case. You've already refused to go to Mount Emei. You should know the attitude of Mount Emei. They won't let you go. According to the news I've received, the people of Mount Emei will rush here in half a month at the latest. By then, it will be the time of your death. Even your family will be implicated. If you leave now, your family might still have a chance to live." Su Shan Er sneered.
"They dare!" Yang Wu's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he shouted.
"There is nothing that the forces of the country can't do, especially within their jurisdiction. They kill people like grass. You don't think that I am exaggerating right?"
"Your analysis is correct. However, what is the meaning of you being my guide? You want me to join the Beggar's Sect? "
"There is nothing bad about the Beggar's Sect. There are people from the Beggar's Sect everywhere in the Transcendental Realm. The channels of information that we receive are unimaginable. Moreover, the Beggar's Sect has a high status in the Transcendental Realm. The people from Mount Emei will definitely not dare to do anything to you." Su Shan 'er said.
At this moment, Yang Wu understood that Su Shan 'er was here to recruit him.
However, Su Shan 'er's words were not without reason. Mount Emei would not let him go. He had to make a choice. Just as Su Shan' er said, whether it was to go to the Transcendental Realm to cultivate or seek protection, leaving was his best choice. Perhaps if he left, his parents would be implicated the least. The Transcendental Realm would not make things difficult for ordinary people.
Yang Wu was silent for a moment before he said, "Thank you for telling me all this. However, I will not leave this place now."
"Why? Do you think that you can go against Mount Emei? The lineup that they have sent this time can easily wipe out the Xia Kingdom, including you and the people behind you. "Su Shan 'er said solemnly.
Yang Wu said in a low voice, "It is because of this that I cannot leave. This is because there are people that I want to protect here. If I leave, I can save my life. However, my family will not be any better off."
"They are only targeting you. They will not touch your parents easily."
"Can you guarantee this?"
"Uh … Who can guarantee this!" Su Shan 'er said hesitantly.
"Then it's fine. You don't have to persuade me anymore. Perhaps one day I will leave this place. However, it is definitely not now. If Mount Emei wants to settle the score with me, I will take it all on my own. I will definitely not let my parents come to any harm." Yang Wu said resolutely.
"Alright, I will not force you. I will give you seven days to think about it. If you want to go to the Transcendental Realm, come to the slums to find me. I will not wait for you if you are late." Su Shan 'er had already felt Yang Wu's determination. He did not continue to pester him. After giving him some instructions, he floated away.
