"Pa pa!"
Zhang Guo Lao did not argue and stood up as he was told. He patted the dust off his knees and then looked at Xiao Chen with a serious face and said slowly:
"Young Master Xiao Chen, us old brothers have offended the Qian Clan. Although the Qian Clan is no longer a threat, there are still five other major clans in Long Yao City. Once you leave Long Yao City, the five major clans will definitely send out experts to kill us all. Just because we are a group of martial artists from humble backgrounds, our actions have already challenged the dignity of the noble martial artists. They will definitely not let us off …"
"So, you worship me as your boss because you want me to be your shield? Is that so? " Xiao Chen listened for a long time and roughly understood the meaning. His face gradually turned cold and he thought to himself: Sure enough, they have ulterior motives. There is no such thing as a pie falling from the sky for no reason.
"Er … this is one of the reasons. However, we are not afraid of death. If we were afraid of death, we would not have followed you to attack the Qian Clan, right?"
Zhang Guo Lao's words were straightforward and his heart was also very frank. He spoke bluntly because he knew that Xiao Chen was a person without schemes. If he played any tricks with Xiao Chen, it would only make Xiao Chen feel disgusted.
Sure enough, he saw that Xiao Chen's face had softened a lot and was waiting for him to continue. He was delighted and continued sincerely: "Now our group of brothers have left Long Yao City and happened to be recuperating in a stone forest 30 miles south. We are all a group of homeless martial artists. After leaving Long Yao City, we did not know where to go. So we thought of you. After a meeting and discussion, we unanimously decided to worship you as our boss and follow you to travel the world!"
"Follow me? Travel the world? Do you trust me that much? " Xiao Chen listened to Zhang Guo Lao's words and could not help but roll his eyes. He said weakly, feeling that it was a fantasy.
"That's right! We are all old foxes who have been drifting for dozens of years. Our eyes are very sharp, and we can see that you are definitely not an ordinary person. In the future, you will definitely soar into the sky and become the peerless expert of the entire Qilin Kingdom, no, the entire Desolate God Continent. It is our fortune to have you as our boss. In the future, when you become a peerless expert and make great contributions, we will also follow Zhang Guang and become doyen level figures … "
The more Zhang Guolao spoke, the more excited he became, and the more exaggerated the content of his words became. His eyes were shining, and his saliva was flying everywhere. His hands were dancing, and his breathing was rapid. He wondered if his heart was in good condition. Would he have a heart attack because he was too excited?
"Alright!"
Even someone as cold as Xiao Chen was amused by Zhang Guolao's ridiculous words and actions. Xiao Chen couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't have the time to waste on bragging, so he interrupted Zhang Guolao again and said coldly, "You're right, Zhang Guolao.
"Elder Zhang, you should stay away from Long Yao City. The Death God Tribe is so big, where can't you stay? I don't have the time or the mood to do any big things with you. I still have a lot of things to do. Don't bother me anymore. Take care of yourselves. I'll take my leave now! "
"Young Master Xiao Chen, although we are not strong, we can do a lot of things for you, such as gathering information and dealing with some of the enemy's underlings. Although the strong are respected in this world, the weak are also indispensable. Young Master Xiao Chen, although your individual strength is very strong, it is still a little weak when you are alone. It is best to have your own forces. If you have tens of thousands of Blood Bear Realm experts, you can easily sweep the entire Long Yao City. Even if Long Yao City has more than ten Purple Image Realm experts, so what? They will still be crushed by tens of thousands of troops! "
Zhang Guolao saw that Xiao Chen had turned and left again, but he did not give up and continued to recommend this group of people. He also said that Xiao Chen was weak alone, and used examples to prove that countless low-level warriors could also kill high-level warriors.
Zhang Guolao tried so hard to persuade Xiao Chen. Although there was a certain selfishness, it was also for Xiao Chen's sake. It seemed that he was very optimistic about Xiao Chen's future and was determined to follow Xiao Chen.
Sure enough, when Xiao Chen heard Zhang Guolao's persuasion, his footsteps slowly stopped and he fell into deep thought. He recalled being chased by thousands of warriors a few months ago. Although most of them were low-level warriors, so many low-level warriors joined forces, it was also a terrible force. If he fought with so many warriors alone, he could at most kill a few hundred people, and then he would be tortured to death.
Many ants could kill an elephant!
Also, Xiao Chen thought of the missing Dongfang Qingwu and his grandfather, Xiao Batian. The world was so big, if he only relied on one person to search, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. If there were many people to help him search, then the chances of success would be greatly increased.
This was also one of the reasons why he chose to become an assassin. He hoped to find and find the whereabouts of Dongfang Qingwu and Xiao Batian through countless assassins. But it had been two or three months, and there was still no news of the two. This made him very uneasy.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen suddenly turned around and looked at the smiling Zhang Guolao. He sincerely said, "Zhang Guolao, you have successfully convinced me. I, Xiao Chen, sincerely invite you to be my friend, but my strength is limited right now, and I can't give you anything. Here is one million purple gold, you can use it to buy cultivation pills and high-level weapons, right?"
"Young Master Xiao Chen, I accept your kindness on behalf of my brothers!"
When Zhang Guolao saw the stack of purple gold notes that Xiao Chen handed over, he didn't act pretentiously and took it. Since Xiao Chen trusted him so much, if he put on an act, he would lose the trust that Xiao Chen had in him. After putting away the purple gold notes, he respectfully asked, "Young Master Xiao Chen, since you have agreed, can we go and meet our brothers? I'm afraid they won't believe me! "
"Eh … alright, lead the way!" Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Yay!"
Zhang Guolao cheered and quickly led the way with a face full of excitement. Xiao Chen quickly followed.
After walking for the time it takes half an incense stick to burn, Zhang Guolao suddenly stopped and whispered to Xiao Chen, "Mister, there are a lot of flies following us, should we get rid of them all?"
Xiao Chen had already noticed that there were a lot of scouts following them. He didn't want to bother with them, but since Zhang Guolao mentioned it, he said lightly, "Go, and be quick."
"Yes, Young Master." Zhang Guolao agreed and jumped into the bushes at the side. Then, he used the cover to quickly sneak back. In less than five minutes, there was a scream in the distance. It was obvious that Zhang Guolao had succeeded.
Zhang Guolao looked kind, but he was actually a ruthless person. However, he was truly loyal to Xiao Chen and naturally wouldn't harm Xiao Chen. He would only help Xiao Chen become stronger and have his own strength.
Xiao Chen naturally heard the scream behind him, but his expression was cold. From start to finish, he didn't look back. Since those scouts dared to follow him, they must have been ordered by someone to do so. Their deaths were not to be regretted.
"Swish!"
After another five minutes, Zhang Guolao quickly ran back and whispered to Xiao Chen, "Young Master, they've all been taken care of. There are a total of ten scouts, and their cultivation is below the Blood Bear Realm. Looking at their clothes, they should belong to five families. If I'm not wrong, they should be scouts from the other five families in Long Yao City besides the Qian Family, hehe!"
"En, let's go!" Xiao Chen said lightly and didn't say anything.
"Yes! Young Master! "
Zhang Guolao had obviously entered the role and truly regarded Xiao Chen as his master. He would follow Xiao Chen's lead in everything.
