He turned around and said, "I know you two don't see me eye to eye. Now that it's finally settled, you can go about your business. As long as you don't come to Purple Cloud City again, you definitely won't see me."
"Shut your mouth!" Thunder Mad Blade shouted angrily, "Is it just you, Lightning Serpent, who is a grateful and honorable man? Are we all just ungrateful and despicable little people?"
Giant Spirit Blade's face was full of anger: "Lightning Serpent, you want to go alone? Dream on!"
The three of them stepped forward at the same time.
Suddenly, Thunder Mad Blade asked, "So, are we just going to guard that kid? Guarding is fine… but how long do we have to keep this up? Self-defense capabilities are difficult to define... who knows when this young master will have the ability to defend himself? Are we just tying ourselves down here?"
Both Lightning Serpent and Giant Spirit Blade revealed a mocking smile.
Tied down here? What a joke! Others would want to be tied down but don’t have the opportunity!
"You don’t have to go if you don’t want to. Didn’t the senior say it was casual? We can handle this matter just fine with the two of us." Lightning Serpent and Giant Spirit Blade spoke in unison, "You just go ahead and do your thing! No need to tag along… let’s go, just us two!"
Thunder Mad Blade immediately ran to catch up: "Wait for me, I’m going too."
Once he caught up, panting, he said, "You two really aren't good friends! If we do this job well, with this senior's unpredictable cultivation level, how could we miss out on the benefits? You actually want to hog it all..."
"Haha... so you’re not as foolish as I thought." The two laughed together.
Not to mention other benefits; even if it was just the spiritual pill given earlier, having an extra one would equate to an extra life! What more could one want?
"Hmph!" Thunder Mad Blade hurriedly caught up, "Let’s get moving. We must do this job well, not just well, but brilliantly..."
"Okay, I’ll bring my group along too. It’ll give us a bit more strength."
"That’s right, I’ll do the same."
"I’m just a lone assassin... I don’t have any subordinates, but personal shadow protection is definitely my strong suit." Lightning Serpent said lightly.
While they discussed, the three of them hurried towards Chu Family Courtyard at great speed.
Though they were rivals, they were also renowned figures who were in constant competition, yet shared a mutual appreciation, often trying to trip each other up... At this moment, in this matter, it was clear that none of them would fall behind or concede defeat.
Chu Yang, dressed in black, quickly returned to the Chu Family Courtyard. While he could control his movement in the nine calamity space, his speed was always slower than under normal circumstances. With no immediate risks, he naturally chose to return the normal way.
Thinking back to his earlier performance, he felt he had reached a level of perfection; it was simply too brilliant. He believed that even the most outstanding actors couldn't match this, heh heh heh...
Chu Imperial Seat was in a great mood.
When he returned to the Chu Family Courtyard, Lightning Serpent and the others had been there for quite a while. Their speed was something that a certain King of Hell couldn’t compare to, even if he was running at full speed, he still lagged far behind. They were currently being hosted by Tie Butian in the living room, with Cat Nini accompanying them.
It must be said that Cat Nini's cultivation level was relatively low compared to these individuals, but when it came to receiving guests, she still had her merits.
Her plump, round body sat comfortably in the chair, with a beaming smile that seemed to have a touch of reserve; it was both friendly and yet gave a sense of distance.
Even Tie Butian couldn't help but appreciate this aspect of Cat Nini: she really was a talent. Of course, it would be better if she could be a bit smarter and not so clueless...
"Three distinguished guests, please, have some tea." Cat Nini raised her cup in invitation, "Our manor master will be back soon. The auction hall has been a bit busy these days, and I apologize for any lack of hospitality… umm... meow..."
