Chapter 876 - 876 Always Follow
876 Always Follow
Ye Jiushang left the room and stood on the steps. He looked at the people in the courtyard. Although his expression was not as gentle as when he was facing Xue Fanxin, he was not as cold and heartless as he was to others. At the very least, when he looked at these people, his gaze would carry a hint of warmth.
These people were all elites he had carefully chosen. They were talents he had decided to nurture vigorously, so he naturally had to spend some effort.
“Master, do you have any orders?” Heilong was the first to ask. He felt that Ye Jiushang was completely different from before. He seemed to have become a different person and become stronger. Furthermore, he was terrifyingly powerful.
Ye Jiushang did not waste his breath and said bluntly, “Half of the purple aura I emitted previously was absorbed by you. Although your cultivation levels have increased quite a lot, you still haven’t completely absorbed the purple aura in your bodies. At this moment, go back and enter seclusion immediately. You can only come out after refining all the purple aura in your bodies.”
“Purple aura…”
Some people wanted to ask what the purple aura was, but they did not dare to. Instead, they chose to listen to orders and return to seclusion to cultivate.
“Yes.”
Heilong, Hai Feng, Zimo, and the others of the Black Shadow Guard had all left.
Xue Batian, Gu Jinyuan, Zhuri, and Fuyun were still waiting in a daze, because they did not know if they needed to go back to seclusion. After all, they were too weak.
After coming to the Mystic Realm and seeing Heilong, Hai Feng, Zimo, and the others, they realized how weak they were.
In the past, they had thought that the Night Shadow Guards were already outstanding enough, but after seeing the Black Shadow Guards, they knew what true excellence was.
Ye Jiushang knew that the people who had been left behind had always been very confused. He, who usually could not be bothered to waste his breath, still said to them patiently, “Your cultivation levels are far inferior to Heilong and the others, but if you work hard in the future, it is not impossible to catch up to them. I don’t keep useless people and weak people by my side, so all of you can go back and enter seclusion. If you need anything, just instruct the people in the residence.”
“Yes, Master.” Zhuri no longer called Ye Jiushang Your Highness. Instead, he called him Master like Heilong and left with Fuyun.
If they did not become stronger, they would sooner or later be abandoned by their master like those Night Shadow Guards in the Heavenly Saint Empire. Although their master would give them a lot of severance pay, this was not what they wanted.
What they wanted was to follow their master forever.
Zhuri and Fuyun also left, and Little Lei left dejectedly.
In the end, only Xue Batian and Gu Jinyuan stayed.
The identities of these two people were a little special, especially Xue Batian. He was Xue Fanxin’s biological grandfather, and Gu Jinyuan acknowledged Xue Fanxin as his master.
Ye Jiushang knew that these two people had to be properly arranged, so he said to them, “Gu Jinyuan, if you want to follow Xin’er forever, then speak with your strength. As for Grandpa, even if you are not strong enough, Xin’er and I will protect you for the rest of your life.”
“Who doesn’t want to become stronger? Although I’m a little old, I still have some achievements in cultivation. Grandson-in-law, take good care of my precious granddaughter during this period of time. Grandpa is going to enter seclusion to cultivate and refine that purple aura you mentioned.” Xue Batian pretended to be carefree and left. After walking far away, he became nervous.
He had a feeling that if one day he was not strong enough and could not catch up to Xin’er, he would very likely be left alone in one place.
Furthermore, it should be the old protecting the young. If he did not have any ability, wouldn’t he embarrass Xin’er?
Gu Jinyuan did not say much and turned to leave. He decided to work harder to become stronger.
Although he did not know how powerful Xin’er would be in the future, at the very least, she would not be much weaker than Ye Jiushang. Therefore, Ye Jiushang was his goal. Even if this goal was very difficult to reach, he would still work hard to reach it.
