<h4>Chapter 900: Humble</h4>


    This clear holler instantly made the dagger in Lang Kun Hall—which was miles away—fly forward and rapidly kill the ck light!


    The surrounding golden sand flew up as the winds blew!


    Xue Xue—who was behind Rong Xiu—immediately shrunk its neck and moved back sensibly. It finally had the chance to bathe a few days ago and was just cleaned. It didn’t want to be as dirty as before.


    The surrounding sandstorm gradually calmed down the next moment, and the Red Moon Desert seemed to have recovered its peace. Only the burning hot sun was roasting the ground, causing it to be boiling hot.


    Rong Xiu stopped in his tracks and looked up.


    Other than him, there was nobody else in the vast desert.


    A childish and ice-cold voice sounded. “Someone is bullying Yue’er Girlie?”


    Rong Xiu paused as a golden fire seemed to be burning in his eyes, but it instantly disappeared. “It’s people from ck Demon Hole.”


    “Why would they look for her?” This was Lan Xiao’s voice. “Why did they go to Tianling instead of staying in their territory?”


    Rong Xiu’s thin lips curled up, and heughed lightly. “That person had already destroyed his physical body many years ago and is only left with a soul. He needs to keep living off cultivators and maintain his life by absorbing their cultivation.”


    <i>Whoosh!</i>


    The yellow sand moved in front, and a blurred figure appeared in theke, looking like a four or five-year-old child.


    “You know that person?” asked Dugu Mobao.


    “We met once.” Rong Xiu squinted his eyes, and nobody could guess what he was thinking. “I just didn’t expect his guts to be so big now.”


    <i>He even dared to touch Yue’er.</i>


    Lan Xiaozily said, “Who cares why he went to Tianling? If he wants to attack Yue’er, he’s going against us. Diwu, if I didn’t recall wrongly, you still had some rtions with ck Demon Hole before, right?”


    “D-don’t talk nonsense!” Diwu Zhangze immediately denied it. “I’m not close to them!”


    Lan Xiaoughed lightly. “Not close? If you’re not close to them, why would they pray to you for ten years? I heard that the gifts they give you every year should be enough—”


    “Stop!” Diwu Zhangze yelled as his head hurt. “I was wrong, okay?! Back then, I just thought that they were seeking medicine. Who knew they would do all sorts of secret things? Besides, I didn’t even help them once!”


    Dugu Mobao coldly said, “You didn’t help because you were already trapped in this Red Moon Desert!”


    If Diwu Zhangze didn’te here, he might’ve be one with the people from ck Demon Hole!


    Diwu Zhangze sighed deeply.?<i>What does that mean?! I really have nothing to do with that ck Demon Hole. I just agreed to meet them because they offered ten years of hard work. I also didn’t do much during that rushed meeting. After so many years, I never expected them to bring this incident up again at this point!</i>


    “T-then, why don’t I find ck Demon Hole’s people and warn them?” Diwu Zhangze tried to ask, but he found it weird after some thinking. “Logically speaking, there’s no reason for ck Demon Hole’s people to go to Tianling… Could it be because of something Girlie has?”


    <i>She does have quite a few treasures…</i>


    “That person was chased out of ck Demon Hole many years ago,” said Rong Xiu lightly.


    Dugu Mobao and the rest found it strange.


    “Chased out? What exactly did he do that even ck Demon Hole can’t tolerate?” asked Dugu Mobao immediately.


    Rong Xiu shook his head. “You have to ask that person.”


    He then moved his feet, and his figure instantly became countless faint shadows.


    After half an hour, he finally stopped at the center of the Red Moon Desert—next to the sapphire-blueke.


    He looked in front and smiled slightly. “I’ve already passed your tests, Seniors. ording to the agreement, I can leave, right?”


    Dugu Mobao snorted. “You could’ve passed the test long ago. Why must you act as if you were in a difficult position?”


    <i>Considering the abilities he showed at theter part, he had clearly hidden his abilities!</i>


    Rong Xiu smiled, slightly bent his back, and respectfully bowed. After that, he humbly said, “I just broke through not too long ago, and that’s also because of your guidance, Seniors. If I didn’t pass this stage luckily, I would’ve been stuck here for quite some time.”


    “You still refuse to admit that you’ve benefited!” Lan Xiao couldn’t help but scold.?<i>We originally wanted to make it difficult for this kid, but we didn’t manage to make him suffer much. We even helped him to break through!</i>


    This was like throwing a gigantic stone in an attempt to smash the other person’s head to teach them a lesson. However, they didn’t expect the stone tond right beside that person’s leg and be their stepping stone!


    This feeling was too aggravating!


    <i>To think that I still thought of so many methods to deal with Rong Xiu previously, but they all benefited him in the end.</i>


    Rong Xiu was already immune to such words. From the day he got together with Yue’er, they already disliked him. Hence, Rong Xiu handled it with ease after much practice.


    “Besides… It’s also my fault that I didn’t take good care of Yue’er, causing the few of you to worry about her.”


    Dugu Mobao and the rest fell silent for a moment. Even though they scolded him harshly, they knew how Rong Xiu treated Yue’er. If he had any way, he definitely wouldn’t let things escte to this stage.


    After a moment, the water surface rippled.


    Dugu Mobao said, “Go ahead! If the girl is hurt again—even an inch of her hair—we won’t let you off!”


    Rong Xiu cupped his fists. “Seniors, please take care. I’ll take my leave first.”


    Then, he finally turned around, and Xue Xue followed him closely.


    The human and the fiend quickly disappeared into the empty space.


    Once again, the Red Moon Desert was quiet.


    After some time, Diwu Zhangze carefully asked, “We just let him go like that, then… What should we do next?”


    They couldn’t leave the Red Moon Desert and could only temporarilye out once a month. They were restricted in whatever they wanted to do.


    “Yue’er Girlie returned to the Imperial City, and we can’t help her much…”


    “If she can’t even handle those nobodies, then we’ve judged her wrongly,” Dugu Mobao coldly said.


    “That’s true, but Girlie was still bullied. Are we just going to watch on like this?” retorted Lan Xiao in extreme disapproval.


    “Of course not,” said Dugu Mobao gradually. “Don’t worry. I have my own ns.”


    …


    Lang Kun Hall, Pce, Xi Ling.


    The dagger flew out and killed the ck light.


    Everything happened in just one moment. Before Chu Liuyue could even clearly see the dagger moving, she heard a miserable cry filled with vengeance by her ear.


    Then, everything in front of her suddenly disappeared!


    The sinister and cold suppression was instantly resolved!


    The pattern on the dagger gradually dimmed before disappearing without a trace. The dagger then flew back into Chu Liuyue’s hands.


    Chu Liuyue blinked.?<i>That aura just now… It was Rong Xiu?!</i>
