“Con… Consequence…” Ju Niao stuttered. “Black Dragon Faction is backed up by the Lu family… If the Lu family doesn’t fall, then they will come after me… What… What should I do?!”
Ju Niao was terror struck.
The Lus were no ordinary family. They were powerful and have deep pockets. They also had a lot of elites in their family!
Ju Niao knew that Chen Xiaobei was good but not enough to fight the Lu family on his own!
If the Lu family still managed to stand even after the Atlantis incident, Ju Niao would be done for.
“Master Chen… Why don’t you say something, Master Chen… My whole life depends on you now…”
Ju Niao needed Chen Xiaobei’s help to figure out a way to solve his problem. He could not just sit there and wait for things to fall apart.
“This is what you are going to do.” The wheels in Chen Xiaobei’s mind had been turning. “Ask your men to gather up all of these bodies and dispose of them in the Black Dragon Faction’s territory. If the Lus come looking for you, give me a call and I will deal with it.”
“Re…. Really?” Ju Niao begged, “Could you not leave? Based on the way the Lu family works, they will come tonight…”
“They won’t.” Chen Xiaobei shook his head and said, “Tonight, the core members of the Lu family will be going to the governor’s place to discuss a plan for Atlantis with Wenren Jinghao and Dong Zhuo! Until they come up with a solution, which might take about 3—5 days, the Lu family will not have any time to come and deal with a nobody like you.”
Ju Niao was relieved to hear this. “If that’s the case, then it’s okay… There’s enough time for me to make a run for it…”
“Look at you! It seems like you are not suitable to become a leader. I think it’s best for me to bring my friend over!”
“You’re right… I am useless…” Ju Niao was in tears. “My brother and I resigned from the army because we were too afraid of dying in the hands of the Demonic Beasts… It was not easy getting out of that. Now, we have to die in the hands of the Lu family….”
“Alright. That’s settled for now. Settle whatever you have to, hold the fort for now and I will take care of the rest.
Chen Xiaobei gave the final instructions and then left.
“Er…” Ju Niao was pounding deep inside him. He chewed over it the whole day before he made abandoned the thought of running away. He decided to give fighting next to Chen Xiaobei a try.
…
By the time Chen Xiaobei returned to the 2nd Regiment base camp, it was already dark out.
Ning Yuchen and Hu Ben had already finished their training and were resting in their room.
“Boss, why hasn’t Zhufeng come back yet? Do you think he got lost?” Hu Ben asked worriedly.
“Zhufeng is pretty smart. I don’t he would get lost…” Ning Yuchen replied. “But I am a little worried because it’s his first time in the city. I’m worried that he might have gotten into trouble with any of the faction members…”
“Give Zhufeng a call, now!” Hu Ben was on edge now. “He’s just a Zero-Star Black Steel newbie. He can’t even win over a normal thug. But if he messes with the factio members, then he’d be in deep trouble!”
Ning Yuchen shook his head and said, “Let’s just wait a little while longer. Zhufeng has a lot of self-esteem. If we get all worried, he would think that we’re looking down on his cultivation…”
“But I’m really worried…” Hu Ben said, barely able to sit still. “Zhufeng could be beaten and kicked by a bunch of thugs and is now cold and hungry and lost… poor boy…”
“Er… Brother Hu. Don’t you think you’re being a little too dramatic? Can’t you expect a little better of me?”
A voice came from the door, chuckling. It was Chen Xiaobei.
“Zhufeng! You’re back! Let us take a look at you. Are you okay?”
Ning Yuchen and Hu Ben ran over to him and examined him.
They really thought of Chen Xiaobei as their little brother, and were especially caring and loving toward him.
“I’m fine. I’m perfectly fine!” Chen Xiaobei grinned.
“Have you eaten?” Hu Ben asked.
“I have. I met an uncle in the city and we hit it off right away. He insisted on buying me dinner. It really was quite a good meal!”
“What uncle? There’s a lot of bad men around that age! Be careful!” Hu Ben warned.
“I won’t. He really was quite nice.”
Chen Xiaobei shrugged.
He wondered what sort of interesting expression Hu Ben would display if he had told them that that uncle was none other than Wenren Jinghao, and that Dong Zhuo and Wenren Muyue were eating at the same table.
“Did you meet any bad people? Like Ju Fei that kind of low-life thugs?” Ning Yuchen asked.
“I did…” Chen Xiaobei nodded. “I think they were Black Dragon Faction. They were fighting and I was just watching from afar.”
“Watching?” Ning Yuchen cried out, “You really are quite the daredevil! Aren’t you afraid of getting dragged into the fight?”
“What is there to be afraid of? They wouldn’t even be able to touch me!” Chen Xiaobei said.
Again, he tried to imagine what Ning Yuchen’s response would be if he told him that he unleashed a powerful spirit and killed a hundred over men from the Black Dragon Faction. Would his eyeballs fall out from their sockets?
Of course, he was just curious. Chen Xiaobei would never tell these things to Ning Yuchen and Hu Ben.
That was because, number one, they would never believe him.
Number two, Chen Xiaobei did not want to involve them—his enemy was the fearsome Southern Town Lu family.
“Alright. You came back in one piece. That’s all it matters. Go shower and then get some rest. We have an early start tomorrow.” Ning Yuchen said.
“Early? What for?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“We have to go out on a mission,” Ning Yuchen explained. “Lately, there had been a lot of Demonic Beast activities. We’re suspecting them to be the Beast Horde. Five other neighboring regiments are helping out…”
“Beast Horde?” Chen Xiaobei’s eyes lit up. “Could you get a lot of Beast Core?”
“Of course! But we’d need to alive to do that!” Ning Yuchen said, “Beast Horde is tens of thousands of Demonic Beasts blitz attack! Killing Demonic Beasts will yield a lot of Beast Cores but the Demonic Beasts will kill even more people! The 3rd Regiment you were in is the perfect example! The risk is directly proportional to the harvest! This is the true depiction of a Northern Wilderness soldier!”
Chen Xiaobei asked, “All those who are afraid of death had already quit the army. Only those who are brave will continue to harvest and continue to get better, isn’t that right?”
“Yes!” Ning Yuchen nodded and said, “Other than those nobles with silver spoons in their mouths, no one else in Northern Wilderness Starfield can have an easy life! They will have to risk their lives to become stronger!”
“Brother Ning, can you bring me with you this time?” Chen Xiaobei asked, a smile on his face.
