A Journey Against the World
Chapter 122

"Be my follower."

Unable to be covered, everyone was shocked violently to hear it, like being struck by lightning they were all staring at Shua Xie this time with a completely shocked look.

Asking a famous Master to be his follower? Did they not hear wrong?! That's a crazy revelation!

Jian Lue who was most furious at Shua Xie's words clenched his hands tightly, he was truly unable to contain his anger. If it still offended the Wuki Pavilion he might still be able to be a little patient, but this time it had been an exaggeration, Master Gu had already been humbled.

Jian Lue was intending to attack Shua Xie out of anger, yet he had just been willing to step Master Gu straight to stop him.

"Jian Lue, he's no match for you." Master Gu gave a warning, Jian Lue is not a worthy opponent for Shua Xie. So it was inappropriate that Jian Lue would rather avenge his anger than to think of the fate of the Wuki Pavilion what would happen in the event of a fight.

Shua Xie snorted softly seeing Jian Lue was already very furious at him, to be honest it was only natural that Shua Xie had stepped on the pride of their leader Master Gu.

"How is Master Gu? Whether you agree to be my follower, take it easy you will be in a pretty good position" Shua Xie said with a faint smile. Although Shua Xie was initially insulting, of course Shua Xie would be a good position for Master Gu's good skills.

Master Gu was still silent, yet his facial features really did look bad, between weighing the requirements that Shua Xie had proposed. And after sufficiently weighing everything, Master Gu immediately replied.

"What's in it if I become a follower, miss?" Surely Master Gu would not be that easy to make a decision before he knew what purpose Shua Xie was to recruit him.

"Whatever my goal, all for the good of the Middle world," Shua Xie replied in a brief, flat tone. As if bringing up the problem he did all this was a matter of privacy for him.

Surely Shua Xie's answer had left some people confused and in disbelief. The reason Shua Xie was still less convincing, what did Master Gu have to do with the safety of Middle World? Master Gu was not a World Emperor to the point that he had to save the world. After all, who could believe Shua Xie's words if it was true?

Realizing that the explanation is still less convincing, Shua Xie again explained, "Obviously, in the future your life will not be as comfortable as it is now. Something scary is coming soon." Shua Xie sounded very serious, making each of his words contain a terrifying aura that made the listeners gulp.

'I'm not a hero in this life, but at least I still want to help with what I have, even though the way I help is a little wrong in your eyes.' Shua Xie was still standing quietly waiting for the others to speak.

Laila, even though she was afraid that Shua Xie's power would be great, it didn't mean that she would be silent until Shua Xie left before her. He was not that type of person, no matter where he was he would be the least able to keep quiet.

"Well, aren't you kidding me!? Middle-earth will be in danger, who are you until you find out about it?" sahut Laila with a cynical voice.

A sharp gaze was immediately diverted to Laila, suddenly making Laila's entourage to be very wary of the gaze that Shua Xie threw, really scary as if containing hatred.

"Laila don't provoke him, remember we're not his opponent" Tu Mo whispered to Laila, furious with his partner that it was incessantly causing trouble.

Laila snorted softly, she understood not to provoke him to Shua Xie, but she could not stand still seeing Shua Xie as very haughty and all-knowing, as if making herself the Middle World Empress who rules life. Whatever Shua Xie said always made him furious to want to understand every word.

"Laila, you better not talk again until you get back home," Kun said coldly, warning that what Laila did earlier could have made a big deal for their entourage. Provoking people like Shua Xie is not a good thing, if you can't deal with him.

From the beginning Laila's attitude was very childish but Kun still held back his attitude to be unequivocal to Laila who had a fairly high status. Laila was the Princess of the kingdom of Dilie the son of King Jilie Chen. Although Laila is only the adopted child of King Jilie, but she is quite dear and pampered, so whatever Laila wants she must get, it makes Laila's character a little spoiled and childish.

Hearing Kun warn her, Laila became shaken, as if she had just received bad news from hell. Kun was the man Laila loved, so it was only natural that Kun was cold towards her that Laila would feel sad.

"Sister Kun," muttered Laila softly but did not dare to say more than that.

On the other hand, Shua Xie was still staring at Laila sharply, eager to feel that Shua Xie was grabbing a woman's hair as hard as possible, but Shua Xie realized there was no time to take care of Laila. The most important thing is the plan.

'Laila, I'll remember your name. And one day just wait for something from me.' Although Shua Xie will release her today, but for the next day no one knows, what Shua Xie will reply.

"Miss if you still can't keep quiet, believe it or not you won't be able to get out forever from Xuilin territory," Shua Xie threatened, leaving Laila a little surprised.

"You, if you kill me, my father will definitely catch and kill you!" Not to be outdone and looking weak Laila retorted back to Shua Xie's remark, "Heh, the Xuilin kingdom is just a small kingdom, my father would definitely be able to flatten the Xuilin Kingdom if he got word his daughter died here." Laila gave a stiff smile, but that cheering smile was insulting.

Stray again those who heard Laila's words, wouldn't think someone from outside dared to be arrogant in the territory he despised, didn't the girl think she could have been killed by the warriors around her for insulting their homeland.

"Hey! Did you just insult the Xuilin Kingdom? Where do you think you are?!" another guest who was furious heard Laila's words.

Kun who was already infuriated by Laila's reckless actions only gave the girl a sharp and cold look, though, so that made the girl dare not say anything more - she realized she had made a mistake again and this time was no small mistake.

Chi Su who was similarly furious to hear Laila insult the power of Xuilin Kingdom ignited flames furiously, truly she was eager to tear the girl to shreds with her long nails. Daring to insult one's homeland in the region itself is like digging one's own grave, Laila has just made a mistake.

On the other hand, Shua Xie was carving out a smile, looking like a deadly full smile, if only a smile was able to make them all die already from the beginning they would die when they saw that Shua Xie's smile never contained any kind of kindness.

"Princess of the kingdom of Dilie? It's a surprise that you're here" Shua Xie said in a cynical tone, "I didn't expect to see ... The daughter of King Jilie Chen." Shua Xie's words made many people shiver to hear it, of course, knowing that Shua Xie would definitely not let go of Laila just like that after what Laila did had offended many parties.

"Tell the Dilie Kings, tomorrow I will visit him. You go, before the other guests finish you off here." Shua Xie looked at Laila with a cold gaze, making all of Laila's hair stand up, And at that very moment, the four kingdoms inevitably had to ally themselves. Although I have to wear a rough way.' Shua Xie would not hesitate anymore, the rough way or the subtle way he would use.

Kun realized that now that his position was not in favor, there was no point in them holding on to a sword they could not bring home, it was time for them to leave while Shua Xie could still endure his patience. Kun immediately led his entourage out of the Pavilion without saying a word to Master Gu, but he had time to apologize and thank Shua Xie for letting him go.

Now the third floor room was only filled with the remaining guests along with Master and Jian Lue. They all looked at Shua Xie deeply in disbelief, making someone from outside the Xuilin territory just walk out after one of the entourage insulted their city - they were simply not satisfied to see Laila leave without receiving the slightest punishment.

"Why release the girl and her entourage, that girl has insulted our weak country!" said one of the guests in a displeased tone.

"Right, nor was she Princess, but she had insulted Xuilin Kingdom! I don't accept that! I was willing to die for Xuilin's good name!" scream at the other guests.

Chi Su approached Shua Xie, seeing the anger of another guest igniting at him for having freed Laila. Chi Su also felt that Shua Xie's attitude just now was too gentle for a person like Laila.

"Miss, is it okay to let them go?" chi Su asked worriedly mixed with fury, "They have lowered the strength of the Xuilin Kingdom." Chi Su simply could not bear to see the criminal not receiving punishment, his hand growled to tear the woman apart.

Shua Xie put on a faint smile, looking so friendly than his previous smile, "I'm flattered you guys are still willing to split the Xuilin kingdom. But, punishing Princess Laila will not make the situation of the two kingdoms improve, I. That's why you don't have to worry," Shua Xie said calmly, "I as the Fiveth Princess of the Xuilin kingdom feel moved."

***

A pair of eyeballs continued to stare at the girl who had now opened her robe, even her identity. It made Master Gu and Jian Lue briefly surprised to learn that the haughty girl was the Fiveth Princess who had long left Xuilin city. And since the incident, there was no news from the Fiveth Princess so many thought the Fiveth Princess had died.

But who would have thought that the Lima Princess would be seen before Master Gu and Jian Lue, having doubted the identity of Shua Xie-Chi Su immediately confirmed what Shua Xie revealed. As a servant of course he will not be silent to see his master in doubt.

Shua Xie still seemed to be sitting casually, after moving the room with Master Gu and Jian Lue, he felt a little exalted because of his status.

"Master Gu, I won't mince words anymore, you should be my ally. I as the leader expect your presence." This was the first time they had seen Shua Xie humble himself to someone in order to make him an ally. Although it was not clear yet what made him so eager to recruit Master Gu, they were quite flattered that Shua Xie could be humble.

"Mr Princess need not hesitate, serving the Xuilin Kingdom is already my duty as their resident," Master Gu replied with a warm smile, "But ... can the Princess explain the intention of the Princess recruiting me?" His curiosity had to be answered, at least Shua Xie could give him a more specific answer than the previous one.

The warm smile of Shua Xie disappeared quickly, the look of seriousness and coldness made the atmosphere of the small room even more gloomy. Feeling the question had gone wrong, Master Gu wanted to cancel his question, but who would have guessed Shua Xie immediately replied.

"Upper World Forces will be attacking in the near future. What is clear is that great wars throughout history will occur, in order to prevent the destruction of the Middle world, I thought I wanted to gather allies to fight them" Shua Xie explained without looking at Master Gu.

"Upper World? What's that supposed?" Jian Lue who did not understand Shua Xie's explanation. Upper World? The name sounded very strange in his ears.

But unlike Master Gu, the middle-aged man showed a worried look as if he understood Shua Xie's words just now, "Upper World, I don't think their leader still insists on ruling three worlds." There was a long sigh coming from Master Gu's mouth, "After trying to escape and survive in Middle-earth, I think Lou Zhou wasn't serious about his intentions."

As Shua Xie's gaze fell on Master Gu, his ears felt that it was not wrong to hear that Master Gu was a native of the Upper World.

"Master Gu, are you a resident of the Upper World?" shua Xie asked slightly surprised but he had guessed it from the start, Master Gu is not a native of Middle World.

With his strength and skill in forging all weapons, who would believe there would be a last magical human in a world of ordinary humans? Shua Xie had doubted the origin of Master Gu and it turned out that his doubts were true.

"Yes, I come from one of the Kingdoms there. Not wanting to ally with the demon Lou Zhou, I fled to the Middle World."
