Fortunately, the four young-looking men, who seemed to be in their prime, were walking together on the street. Their fighting prowess was undeniable, so no foolish villain would dare to run into them. Thus, they didn't linger there for long.
As for intervening in these injustices and helping the weak? That's something for religions that like to spread their faith. I'm really sorry, but none of the people from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect have any intention of doing good deeds everywhere.
—If someone tries to help out of kindness, but is then shamelessly taken advantage of by a short-lived mortal with unrealistic ambitions, it would be extremely detrimental to their cultivation.
Everyone has their own destiny, so don't try to be a good Samaritan everywhere! Who knows if you'll end up doing something wrong just because you're getting involved?
As the group traveled through the city center, a high-end shopping district, the number of street vendors gradually increased. There were rows of ornate shops, including upscale restaurants and brothels, offering a wide variety of businesses.
Moreover, in terms of public security, the area is much better now. The patrol teams that maintain order come by frequently, making it quite lively.
Mortals are driven by desires, and what place wouldn't have eye-catching attractions? Especially in chaotic places, the more prosperous they are, and Tianwu City is no exception. Everywhere you look, there are places to spend money, and as long as you have money, you can satisfy any need.
Su Wang has reached the Nascent Soul stage, so he is not short of money. He cares about his reputation among cultivators, but when he comes to the mortal world, who thinks he is a high and mighty big shot? He can do whatever he wants.
Logically speaking, cultivators have been detached from the mortal world for many years, having long forgotten their past lives there. Some, in particular, were born cultivators and have never even been to the mortal realm. Shouldn't these famous sect leaders be somewhat curious about the bustling marketplace?
That's exactly what Su Wang was thinking. He was waiting to take a few of the sect members who had gone crazy from cultivating immortality to relax and have some fun.
To his surprise, he discovered that, apart from himself, everyone else seemed uninterested in this place full of fun and didn't even glance at it.
Especially Yu Ling, before he died, he loved to have fun, and he frequented the entertainment centers built by cultivators who had ascended to immortality. He looked down on the ones in this mortal city.
But his past glory was all about playing the role of a big shot pretending to be a noob for fun. Now that he's become a survivor and has actually played the role of a real weakling a few times, he's really lost interest.
Furthermore, he still had a mission to complete, and his cultivation level wasn't high enough to allow him to act recklessly. Even if he really wanted to join in the fun, he couldn't fully enjoy himself.
Yu Ling kept praying to herself, "Please, let some blind robber come and kidnap me, so I can find a place to hide and start over!"
The sooner the ruthless path is abolished, the better. We must find a way to get through this period of weakness. But in the current world, starting over is suicidal. Only a madman would do that. Didn't you see that Su Wang was suggesting it under the guise of finding a Dao heart for Yu Ling?
Yu Ling had no interest in having fun, but what about Jiang Ying, that effeminate guy? He was still looking around for clothing stores. But just by glancing at the entrances, he knew that none of these clothing stores sold pink menswear.
Bah! A bunch of tasteless mortals, all wearing such tacky blue, white, and black clothes! Sigh, it seems I can only have them custom-made. But custom-made items in the mortal world definitely take a long time. He didn't want to delay Su Wang's arrangements, so he didn't bring it up himself. He would just wait until he was on his own to buy them later.
As for Qi Mu, although he kept walking, a closer look at his brown pupils revealed that they were unfocused, in a dazed and blank state. His mind had probably already wandered off, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Among these people, Su Wang, who is the oldest and most senior, is like a simple-minded young nobleman who never grew up. He really wants to go in and explore everywhere.
After learning that none of the three enjoyed playing as much as he did (Yu Ling actually did, but her character wouldn't allow it), Su Wang thought, why not take a few cultivators who had already abstained from grains to have a meal first, as a way to reminisce about the wonderful mortal world.
...Actually, he himself was also craving something delicious and wanted to try the local specialties. Silently noting down a few places that interested him most, Su Wang took on the role of leader again and continued to guide the way.
"Oh? Isn't this Brother Su? ...And who are these gentlemen?"
Just as Su Wang was about to step into the most ornately decorated restaurant, he heard someone calling his name. He paused, looked up, and saw a rich-looking guy waving from a second-floor window.
Hmm, a hypocrite, overweight, and wearing three rings on his hand—isn't that Wang Baofu, the nouveau riche from Binhai City?
Hmm, how did they meet?
Oh right, it seems we bid together at an auction, and later, while competing for items, we unknowingly became friends, spending money and having fun together.
That doesn't make sense. This place is a mess, and I don't think I've ever been here before. How could I possibly run into this wealthy man? Isn't he afraid of encountering any danger?
Even though Su Wang only paused for less than a second, Yu Ling didn't wait for her cheap master and went inside on her own.
He already had his share of the common people's possessions, so since he could afford to pay, why should he wait for Su Wang like a child waiting for his parents?
And so, Su Wang, who was in the lead, stopped, but Yu Ling, who was in the second position, did not stop. Jiang Ying and Qi Mu, who were in the third and fourth positions and had been distracted, also followed the new leader Yu Ling.
Su Wang inexplicably ended up at the bottom, but he didn't mind his disciples, grand-disciples, and nephews abandoning him.
After all, he was often away from home, and even though these three were among his closest friends, he wasn't very familiar with them. Besides, he wasn't one to be bound by formalities, so he just followed them in at the very end.
"Four people, private room." Yu Ling, who was usually very concise, answered first when the waiter approached.
The group then went to a private room on the second floor and took their seats.
Of course, even though Su Wang was at the bottom of the list, his status meant that no matter how little he cared about the rules, he still had to be placed in the main seat.
"Disciple, I'm going to see an acquaintance first. You order the food."
After seeing that everyone was sitting down obediently, Su Wang asked Yu Ling to order the dishes with the waiter, and then went to Wang Baofu's private room next door.
Since we've run into each other, we should at least say hello, right?
"Master, please go in peace," Yu Ling said solemnly.
Su Wang: ? ? ?
If I didn't know that this disciple cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness, I would have thought he was being sent away if I hadn't heard this out of the blue.
