What are you here for?

The two brothers acted quickly, suppressing the stalker and sealing his cultivation.

The man lay on the ground for a long time before he recovered and repeatedly said, "Let me get up, let me get up."

Because their cultivation was sealed, Wu Er and Xiao Mingmu were not afraid of this person resisting.

So they simply let the stalker stand up.

"Are you a fellow disciple of Fang Jia?"

Wu Er looked at the man and asked.

Perhaps knowing that his cultivation was sealed and he had no ability to resist, he confessed honestly in order to save his life.

"Yes, I am Fang Jia's fellow disciple, and Fang Jia is my senior brother."

Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes and asked, "Then why were you following us? Are you here for revenge?"

The man sighed and said, "Actually, I have no grudge against you. I just want those rewards."

"A reward? What reward?" Xiao Mingmu pressed for an answer.

"A reward from the sect's higher-ups." The man pointed at Wu Er and said, "Fang Jia is an elder's disciple, and your appearance was discovered by our elder using a secret method, so you're on the sect's wanted list."

"So you want to take me to your elders and exchange me for a reward?"

Upon hearing the reason, Wu Er frowned. Being wanted meant being hunted down by an entire sect, which was no small matter.

Wu Er frowned and thought for a moment before asking, "By the way, you found me by chance, right? That means your sect elders don't know where I am, right?"

The person who had followed them nodded. "Yes, it's just me."

Upon hearing this, Wu Er's brows relaxed slightly, but not completely; his expression remained tense.

The man who had been following them looked at Wu Er and then said, "I've said everything I needed to say, and although I have my own ideas, I haven't harmed you yet, so can you let me go?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mingmu's expression suddenly changed, and he slightly gathered spiritual power in his hand, seemingly intending to kill him to silence him.

"Bright eyes!"

When Wu Er saw that Xiao Mingmu was about to kill someone, he reached out and stopped him.

"Senior Brother, this person cannot be allowed to live. Not only has he shown murderous intent, but if we let him go, he might bring even more people with him!"

That's absolutely true. Killing them on the spot is the simplest solution; letting them go would only lead to endless trouble.

But Wu Er now gets a headache whenever he thinks about killing someone.

"It's best to minimize killing."

Wu Er said this.

“But…” Xiao Mingmu wanted to say something more, but stopped after glancing at Wu Er.

Xiao Mingmu took two steps back and said, "Senior brother, you can make the arrangements."

The countryside was very open and the wind was strong; you felt a chill as soon as you were blown by it.

Xiao Mingmu's sleeves were blown up by the cool wind. Although people with cultivation are not afraid of the cold, it must be uncomfortable to be blown by such a wind.

Wu Er naturally saw through his second senior brother's thoughts, but unfortunately, Wu Er really didn't want to kill anyone right now.

When it comes to killing, others may be ruthless and decisive.

But Wu Er is a soft-hearted person. He is not cold-blooded, nor is he solely driven by self-interest; he acts only out of his conscience.

Although I don't know if this conscience will be chilled by the cold wind, at least it's still warm for now.

"I can let you go," Wu Er said to the man beside him, "but you must swear an oath of the Great Dao."

The man nodded hurriedly, his face beaming with joy. He never expected to meet such a kind person who would even save his life!

Next comes the oath of the Great Dao.

The vow was very comprehensive, taking all aspects into consideration.

After the man finished making his vow, Wu Er and Xiao Mingmu returned to the city. Several of their junior brothers and sisters were still in the city and would be returning to the mountains with them.

Throughout the journey, Xiao Mingmu was somewhat sullen, his face clouded with worry.

Wu Er knew that Xiao Mingmu was still worried about him releasing the person, so he comforted him, "It's alright. I've thought of all the necessary oaths. If that person breaks them, he will suffer a qi deviation and die."

"Yes, I know," Xiao Mingmu replied, but his expression remained unchanged.

Wu Er could sense that his junior brother was in a bad mood, and as the senior brother, he always wanted to cheer him up.

"Let's go see a play! We haven't been out of town long, the play probably hasn't started yet. How about we head over and check it out?"

Back in the city, Wu Er pointed in the direction of the stage.

This was an attempt to distract Xiao Mingmu and stop him from dwelling on what had just happened.

"Senior Brother, you know I don't like watching plays," Xiao Mingmu replied softly.

This answer made Wu Er a little embarrassed. "Really? You used to come with me when I went to see plays. I thought you liked watching plays."

Xiao Ming looked around and then said, "Senior brother, I'm going to do something else. I'll be back soon."

"Okay." Wu Er nodded. "Go ahead, just be happy."

Xiao Mingmu and Wu Er then parted ways.

Wu Er looked in the direction Xiao Mingmu had left and said softly, "Mingmu doesn't seem very happy today. I wonder what he's going to do."

Although this incident has been resolved, it still affects my mood.

Although the stage was still there and the play was still being performed, Wu Er had lost all interest in watching it.

After strolling around the streets for a while, the sun had already set in the west, and the sky was covered with golden light.

Wu Er arrived at the city gate, waiting for his junior brothers and sisters.

Although we parted ways while strolling through the city, we were bound to be together again on the way back.
