"There's a guy?" Zuan was startled. "Hey, is it a person or a ferocious beast?"
Unfortunately, no matter how much he asked, Mi Li remained silent, clearly having fallen into a deep sleep.
"Falling asleep so easily, what a pig!" Zu An snorted sullenly. He had only said that a guy was coming, but he hadn't explained. Now that he was deep in Dragon Hidden Mountain, could it be some kind of ferocious beast?
He quietly gripped the Tai'a sword, his whole body tensing up.
Not long after, a figure appeared not far away—it was a person!
Zu An cursed his bad luck. In other novels, the protagonists usually encountered fairies or beautiful women in the wilderness, but he encountered a man who was old and ugly.
His clothes were tattered and he looked like a beggar, but his eyes were bright and piercing, which made him look like a cultivator, and a cultivator at a high level.
He looks so disheveled, probably because he's been in the mountains for too long without changing his clothes and has become unkempt.
"Hey buddy, just strolling around in the mountains?" After thinking for a moment, he decided to take the initiative and say hello. He wasn't the kind of person who judged people by their appearance.
The middle-aged man was taken aback when he saw his face, then burst into laughter: "It's true what they say, 'You've been searching high and low, but it's right here.' You're unlucky to run into me here, kid."
Zu An frowned and said, "Who are you? Are you sick?"
The middle-aged man was furious: "You've ruined me so badly, and now you don't even recognize me!"
Wu Di's anger level increased by 666!
Upon seeing the name in the background, Zu'an suddenly remembered the incident at the clan competition and blurted out, "Is that the one where your mom called you home for dinner?"
Wu Di: "..."
Wu Di's anger level increased by 999!
Wu Di said coldly, "It was because of one sentence from you that I lost to that little girl Chu Chuyan in the family competition. I, a dignified sixth-rank official, was defeated by a fifth-rank official. Not only did I become the laughingstock of the entire family, but I was also exiled to the mountains to gather herbs, where I have to endure the wind and rain every day. My future is completely ruined..."
Thinking about the days he had spent there, he grew increasingly angry.
Wu Di's anger level increased by 1024!
Zu An blinked and subconsciously replied, "You, a sixth-rank cultivator, can't beat a fifth-rank junior. You certainly deserve to be laughed at."
Wu Di: "..."
He thought the other person would be scared, feel guilty, and feel embarrassed after hearing about his experience.
But to my utter surprise, he was gloating here.
He felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger.
Anger from Wu Di: +444 +444 +444...
"You brat, with everyone watching during the family competition and the Chu family protecting you, I couldn't do anything to you. But heaven has mercy, allowing me to run into you in this desolate wilderness. Hehehe..." Wu Di's laughter grew colder and colder.
Suddenly his gaze sharpened as he noticed Old Man Mi and Wei Dan beside him, and then the storage bag in his hand. A glint of greed flashed in his eyes, and his breathing quickened instantly: "You brat, give me those two storage bags, and maybe I'll be in a good mood and spare your life."
Zuan nodded and said, "Okay!"
He then tossed two storage bags over.
Wu Di was taken aback. He thought the other party would definitely refuse or use it to bargain with him, but he didn't expect him to hand over the item so readily.
Why doesn't this guy play by the rules?
He was initially worried that the two storage bags might be a trap, so he focused his attention and spread his vital energy throughout his body before carefully taking them into his hands. He examined them from all angles, but found no hidden mechanisms.
He suddenly became excited: "This aura... this is a storage bag of a Grandmaster level."
As he spoke, he tried to open it to see what treasures were inside, but despite trying several times and even summoning flames, he still couldn't open it.
He then put the two storage bags into his pocket and looked at Zu'an again: "You brat, I didn't expect you to be such a coward, surrendering without even putting up a fight."
Zuan frowned and said, "What's wrong? Are you trying to go back on your word?"
At the same time, she secretly regretted handing him the storage bag, hoping he might be able to open it, after all, he was so old and a sixth-rank expert from a major family. Who knew he was also powerless? If she had known this, she wouldn't have wasted her time.
“So what if I go back on my word?” Wu Di grinned as he approached him. “Today I’ll teach you a lesson: when you’re out in the world, don’t be so naive.”
Zuan sighed: "Didn't you notice that I wasn't scared at all from beginning to end? Why don't you think about why? Who's really the naive one?"
Wu Di was startled and quickly stopped, looking around: "Could there be more members of the Chu family lying in ambush here?"
He looked around but didn't see a single person. He then snorted, "You almost scared me. I just received news not long ago that the Chu family has already undergone changes. They wouldn't have any spare manpower to come to this desolate place."
Seeing the other person looking at him coldly, as if he were a dead man, he felt extremely displeased: "You brat, today I'll show you that without the protection of the Chu family, you are nothing!"
As he spoke, he reached out his large hand to grab him. He had seen him make a move before in the family competition. At that time, he was only a little over the third rank. Only that blockhead Yuan Wendong would be so careless as to lose to such a kid.
With his own rank of sixth grade, crushing him would be as easy as crushing an ant.
Seeing him so carelessly grabbing at him, Zuan was confident he could sever his arm with a single sword strike.
