Chapter 46 Mortals
Shen Yu was really confused about Ning Xi's attitude but seeing that she had calmed down, he decided to know more about it.
Shen Yu sighed and relaxed as he said.
"Yes, I am from the Holy Lands you speak of, in a way. As for why I am here, it's to relax and make a sect here. And that's what's I'm doing. Also, why do you seem so against the people from Holy Lands?"
"Are you really just here to make a sect?"
Ning Xi narrowed her eyes and asked. She didn't care if Shen Yu was the most powerful or anything, she just wanted to confirm that he wasn't a threat to the town.
"Don't worry, I'm not someone who kills mortals. They are off my radar."
"I'll trust you on that, considering you haven't caused any commotion till now. And I apologise if I was rude."
"It's fine, but what is this all about Holy Lands?"
Shen Yu asked in confusion. He didn't mind Ning Xi's attitude since she was right in her own way and he could see that she was rather of open personality. But he was confused as to why was he targeted?
Ning Xi sighed and picked up the two parchments. She began to write something on them while explaining.
"It's because of the past events that happened in the Qing Empire. The Four Major Sects aren't the only ones who are eyeing for the Qing Empire so there had been some times when a few powerful people came from the Holy Lands and tried to cause chaos here or maybe to take over the Qing Empire. It can also be that they just wanted to disturb the Four Major Sects but they cause chaos nonetheless.
"Nope, I only needed to know if you will kill people of this town or not but you already told a lot. If you don't mind having someone as rude as me as your friend, I will like to be your friend and help in your cause. After all, that's the dream I had once."
"Why will I have a problem?"
Ning Xi chuckled and extended her hand, having a big smile on her face. Shen Yu could only smile in helplessness and shake her hand. Although Ning Xi's outgoing personality made him a little awkward, she was rare species in Cultivators who actually cared for mortals. That alone made him respect her.
Although she might come as rude, he knew she was just being honest and didn't really mean anything. She was just her, inside and outside. That's why Shen Yu liked her personality.
However, he was a little speechless at the turns of events. He found it odd he was meeting so many beautiful women with great personality so quickly. It definitely made him suspicious.
'System?'
[I don't know what you're talking about.]
'So it's really you!'
Shen Yu sighed but didn't bother thinking about it. It was for his benefits anyways.
"Hello? What are you thinking about?"
Shen Yu's body jerked as he realised he was still holding the rough hands of Ning Xi. He coughed and took back his hand.
"I was just thinking about my Cultivation. I need to lower it down."
