Chapter 563 - 562: Youâre All the Same!
Yun Ranâs displeasure did not affect the people in the cave in the slightest.
He Tu looked at the people around him in some surprise, then cautiously asked, "Are we all still alive?"
The others, upon hearing this, immediately rolled their eyes at He Tu in irritation. They were all still panting for breath; if they werenât alive, how could they be in such pain?
"If your eyes are useless, just scrap them. Better than them being decorative!"
They hadnât imagined that this time, aiming to be the ones benefitting in the end, they would end up so severely injured.
Originally, according to their Dao progress, living another ten years or so wouldnât have been a problem.
Now, they felt like their bodies couldnât handle it anymore, obviously hurting their foundation.
"Indeed, your eyes are nothing but decorations. If not for your poor judgment, we wouldnât have been caught up like this!"
The speaker looked at He Tu with reproachful eyes. Most of the good things he had collected over half his life were almost all lost this time.
He used to laugh at others for losing both the wife and the soldiers; now, he truly couldnât laugh.
He Tu suffered even more grievously than the others and lost more. Facing the accusations and grievances of these âplasticâ friends, he pursed his lips.
He regretted it now, but there was no remedy for regret.
However, he wasnât the type to take responsibility upon himself proactively.
Immediately, he shifted all the blame onto Yun Ran and the person who had previously informed him of Yun Ranâs identity.
But considering Yun Ran had saved him and, in the final moment, helped kill that Flower Demon, without taking the opportunity to kill them and loot them,
He Tuâs dissatisfaction with Yun Ran only amounted to a tenth; most of his grievances were directed towards the Black Robed People.
After mentally preparing himself, He Tu immediately began to shirk responsibility with confidence.
"You canât entirely blame me, can you? It was your own greed that wanted the treasure. Besides, everything has risks.
You canât only think of the benefits without considering the risks, can you? Thatâs too shameless. If you insist on thinking that way, well, thereâs nothing I can do!"
The crowd: ...
Although they were shameless people themselves, often driving others to despair,
But now, with He Tu pulling such an unjust act on them, it was infuriating.
If they werenât injured now, they would have given this old dog He Tu a piece of their mind!
"You old dog, you really have no shame!"
"Hiss~"
One of them, angered, moved a bit too much and pulled at the wound, causing him to sharply inhale.
He Tu nonchalantly waved his hand: "How can you say thatâs shameless? None of you are innocent either; weâre all the same!"
Some people are harsh even on themselves; He Tu was evidently one of the best.
Having suffered such a big loss this time, he must get back at those who leaked information to him, peeling a layer off them before heâd consider it done.
However, he didnât plan to share that; naturally, the benefits could only be his.
As for the other old fellows, they could only chalk it up to bad luck.
After arguing for a while, they finally turned their attention to their already bandaged wounds.
Looking at the somewhat crude bandaging technique, the few old monsters were noticeably unimpressed.
But for now, even if they disliked it, they had no choice but to make do.
"Do you remember what happened before we fainted?"
The speaker gave a meaningful glance toward the cave entrance.
Even though they were unconscious for a while, they could confirm it was Yun Ran who brought them over.
Even the careless bandaging on their bodies was done by Yun Ran.
When it came to serious matters, the old monsters who had been at odds with each other fell silent.
Clearly, they all remembered what happened before, and remembered it very clearly.
Someone their age could truly be considered astute, and they were well-informed.
They had seen practitioners of Thunder Techniques before, but those people could only borrow magic; its power was limited.
But they distinctly saw Yun Ran casting magic directly and even summoning Heavenly Thunder, a level of magic that was quite unprecedented and defied nature.
"What on earth is the background of this little yellow-haired girl? Iâve never heard of such magic before."
Whatâs more, she possessed what looked almost like a Treasure Level Magic Artifact.
"Either sheâs from a Hidden Clan, or this girl had incredible encounters; otherwise, she wouldnât be so young with such powerful Dao Doctrine."
Speaking of this, a flash of greed appeared in the eyes of the old monsters; to have a Dao Doctrine and a Magic Treasure capable of summoning Heavenly Thunder...
Any one of these would attract the Xuanmen peopleâs pursuit.
Unfortunately, now severely injured, they were like meat on a chopping block, truly lacking the confidence to contend with Yun Ran now.
Regrettably, a hint of jealousy arose in their hearts.
Heavenly Dao was indeed biased, giving Yun Ran such good Talent, allowing her to master Dao and magic at such a young age.
And providing her with so many treasures and doctrines, it made their decades of arduous cultivation seem like a joke.
"If only she hadnât grown up yet, we could have simply set a trap, and this little girlâs treasures and doctrines would change hands..."
Their current mindset was quite complex, filled with blatant envy and jealousy, finally turning into a sigh.
He Tu sighed leisurely, "Just based on her final strike to kill the Flower Demon, we should avoid conflict with her in the future.
Weâre eyeing her treasures, but who knows if sheâs eyeing ours.
Itâs just that this girl has received orthodox Xuan Sect teachings; otherwise, taking advantage of others would have landed us old guys in serious trouble!"
Even now, He Tu sincerely believed in Yun Ranâs integrity.
Otherwise, if they, who had been eminent for half their lives, ended up being caught unaware, it would truly be regretful.
Thinking about this, He Tuâs grievances against Yun Ran diminished further.
The others, upon hearing He Tuâs words, also nodded in agreement.
Clearly, they also felt that Yun Ranâs actions could be described as fair and square.
They werenât good people, but that didnât mean they couldnât distinguish between good and bad people.
Encountering a foe who truly had principles and a moral code eased their worries, at least from fear of being plotted against.
"Letâs put all that aside now and focus on healing. Death Mountain is quite sinister. The girl doesnât make a move against us, but that doesnât mean she will always protect us.
I donât want to be taken advantage of by those despicable spirits, ending up as a laughing stock!"
He Tu looked at the people around him in some surprise, then cautiously asked, "Are we all still alive?"
The others, upon hearing this, immediately rolled their eyes at He Tu in irritation. They were all still panting for breath; if they werenât alive, how could they be in such pain?
