Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All

362 Shock

Of course, rules were rules. If this person had directly captured Dong Xi and killed her in private, no one would have found out.

Dong Xi secretly took out the Speed Talisman and stuck it on her body. If something went wrong, she would immediately run away.

However, before she left, Dong Xi felt that she could talk to this man.

Dong Xi was very sure that the person she saw in the courtyard was this man. Zhao Shurou had treated him so badly, so how could he still risk his life for Zhao Shurou?

Although Dong Xi had some guesses, she would only know if it was correct after testing it out.

The man was surprised to see Dong Xi walking over instead of running away.

What surprised the man was what happened next.

Dong Xi walked forward and looked at the man. She said calmly, “Wuma?”

Wuma, “?”

…

Dong Xi did not trust the shops outside. In the end, she brought Wuma back to the Rainbow Store.

The two of them sat face to face. Dong Xi could not bear to use the good work Second Brother left to entertain Wuma, so she could only give Wuma a bowl of the Green Bamboo Wine she had bought.

Wuma saw Dong Xi take a sip. Wuma picked up the bowl and finished it in one gulp.

“Did Zhao Shurou ask you to come?” asked Dong Xi.

Dong Xi looked at Wuma, her tone was very certain.

Wuma leaned back in his chair and looked at Dong Xi.

It seemed that everyone had underestimated the little girl. This girl’s strength and background were not that simple.

It was also because of this that Wuma came back with Dong Xi. Wuma faintly felt that Dong Xi might really be able to help.

“That’s right,” Wuma nodded.

Dong Xi saw that Wuma was so cooperative and said, “How did you recognize me?”

“Your eyes,” said Wuma.

His appearance could change, but his eyes would never change.

“Nonsense, I only glanced at you.” Dong Xi said in disbelief.

“And hair,” said Wuma again.

“Where is Qiao Xiaoyan?” asked Dong Xi.

Wuma said excitedly, “The City Lord sent you?”

“You can say so.” Dong Xi shrugged.

“It’s a long story,” Wuma sighed.

Wuma was originally Qiao Xiaoyan’s personal bodyguard. The two of them had developed feelings for each other over time. If Qiao Xiaoyan wanted to become cultivation companions with Wuma, the Zhaofeng City Lord would naturally not agree. After all, Wuma was a Golden Core guard.

Qiao Xiaoyan had the temper of a young lady. When she saw that her father did not agree, she eloped with Wuma.

Zhaofeng City Lord was furious and threatened that he would never have a daughter like her.

Three months ago, Qiao Xiaoyan’s life token suddenly cracked. The City Lord of Zhaofeng City sent people to contact Qiao Xiaoyan and Wuma, but they could not reach them at all. The City Lord of Zhaofeng City immediately panicked.

There was no news from the people he had sent out to find her. With no other choice, Zhaofeng City Lord asked for help from the Ningtian Sect.

When this mission was being graded, he accidentally mixed this difficult mission into the D-grade mission pool, and was then assigned to Dong Xi.

“What a touching love story!” Dong Xi said. “Qiao Xiaoyan was in danger? You can’t even save her with your Golden Core cultivation?”

Qiao Xiaoyan and Wuma, one was a Golden Core cultivator and the other was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. They actually sent Dong Xi, who was at the Qi Refinement stage, to save them? Was this a joke?

Wuma’s expression was gloomy as he said, “That day, I was at the Rainbow Store and helped the young lady get the jade hairpin. Zhao Shurou took a fancy to me… Zhao Shurou grabbed the Young Miss and forced me to submit…”

At this point, Wuma seemed to be at a loss for words. Dong Xi said, “So, you followed Zhao Shurou?”

“If I can save Young Miss, I don’t mind dying.” Wuma shook his head and said, “But Young Miss said that if I do anything against my will to save her, Young Miss will self-destruct and her soul will be destroyed.”

When Dong Xi heard this, she felt extremely emotional. Qiao Xiaoyan was also a staunch woman.

“So, Qiao Xiaoyan is in Zhao Shurou’s hands?” asked Dong Xi.

“That’s right,” Wuma nodded.

“So, Zhao Shurou used Qiao Xiaoyan to force you to come and capture me?” asked Dong Xi.

Wuma nodded.

Dong Xi sighed and fell into deep thought.

“In that case, bring me back,” said Dong Xi after a long time.

Wuma did not expect Dong Xi to say this. He raised his head and looked at Dong Xi in disbelief.

“You will die,” said Wuma.

Of course, Dong Xi knew that Zhao Shurou did not want Dong Xi to live. It was just that Dong Xi had escaped.

Dong Xi said righteously, “It’s fine. I’ll sacrifice my life for justice.”

Wuma did not make a move. Wuma said, “Fellow Daoist, neither I nor Young Miss would do such a thing.”
