Chapter 2375: I Am Useful, Senior

"You all think I'm an idiot? So easy to deceive?"

After explaining so much, the beautiful woman simply didn't believe it; for a moment, the loose cultivator women were all dumbfounded.

Everything they said was true, every word from the heart, not a single lie—how could you not believe them?

Seeing that the loose cultivator women would not cry until they saw coffins, the beautiful woman gradually lost patience, waved her hand, and killed another.

"I want to see just how hard your mouths are."

"Senior, we……………………"

Hearing that, the loose cultivator women were completely dazed; their mouths weren't hard—they had been telling the truth from the start.

At this very moment, the loose cultivator women had long hated Tie Dan to the point of gnashing their teeth; if they ever got another chance to meet in this life.

They would definitely tear that damned thing apart alive—what were you thinking, going to rob a canteen for no reason?

Meanwhile, Tie Dan, having survived the catastrophe, confirmed that the beautiful woman had not caught up, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Not fleeing together with the others was indeed the right choice.

He had long since found this method consistently effective.

Those powerhouses, those big shots, simply looked down on him; they couldn't even be bothered to kill him, so it's highly unlikely they would pursue him.

This time he guessed right again, successfully preserving his life.

However, at this moment Tie Dan also felt quite emotional; a sudden impulse led him to rob a restaurant, which brought about such a great disaster, and he silently lamented.

"Ah, from now on this restaurant truly cannot be robbed."

Who could have known that robbing just a restaurant would attract so many powerhouses—what on earth is going on with this canteen?

Having mingled in the lower realms of the Immortal Realm for so many years, Tie Dan had indeed robbed restaurants before.

Moreover, for a minor loose cultivator like him, robbing a restaurant was the only choice.

If there were any other option, they wouldn't bother robbing a restaurant—what could such a thing possibly yield?

This incident is truly strange indeed.

However, just as Tie Dan's words fell, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Kid, are you associated with Old Man Tianxin?"

Accompanying the voice, a spatial rift suddenly appeared before him, and then a young man stepped out from it.

The youth appeared slightly younger than Tie Dan, and indeed he was, yet his cultivation had already reached the Great Accomplishment of the Immortal Realm.

This is the result of different fates despite similar origins.

From the youth's attire, Tie Dan instantly guessed he was likely a disciple of some sect.

Without further thought, he immediately bowed respectfully.

"Tie Dan pays his respects, Senior."

Upon seeing a sect disciple, he would bow and call out 'Senior'—for a loose cultivator like Tie Dan, this had long been second nature.

He did it without the slightest hesitation.

There was no choice; in this dog-eat-dog world, lowly loose cultivators wanting to survive find face worthless—it's as cheap as dirt.

As for this youth, he showed no expression and spoke.

"I ask, are you associated with Old Man Tianxing?"

"I………………… Senior, your discerning eye is correct—I am the kid who just joined Old Man Tianxing's faction a couple of days ago, hoping to earn a meal."

"Where is Old Man Tianxing now?"

The youth asked again, while Tie Dan, head lowered, had his eyes darting about as he calculated.

This person keeps asking about Old Man Tianxing's whereabouts; most likely he's here because of the canteen incident.

Initially, that group of sect powerhouses pursued the old man likely because they wanted the dry rations he brought back from the canteen.

Even now, Tie Dan doesn't understand what's special about those dry rations—aren't they just ordinary spiritual food?

Not to mention those sect powerhouses; even as a minor loose cultivator like him, he doesn't have much desire for such ordinary spiritual food.

Rather than waste effort satisfying such base cravings, it would be better to think of ways to obtain cultivation resources, boost his cultivation, and maybe live a couple more years.

Tie Dan couldn't fathom this, but since this sect disciple had come for that reason, to survive he could only……………………

Upon thinking this, Tie Dan hurriedly replied respectfully.

"Replying, Senior, earlier we were pursued by sect powerhouses; the old man abandoned us and fled himself, after which we fled all the way and got separated in the chase."

"What about the dry rations?"

"Dry rations? What dry rations?"

Tie Dan feigned confusion in his reply; his acting was so subtle that no flaw could be seen.

At least this sect disciple before him was taken in, feeling that Tie Dan truly didn't know.

Moreover, how could an ant with Ancestor Realm cultivation possibly receive any dry rations?

I estimate those dry rations are still with Old Man Tianxing to this day.

"None? Then you shall die……………………"

Sensing that the youth intended to strike a killing blow, Tie Dan shuddered and hurriedly spoke.

"Senior, wait—I suddenly recalled that while fleeing, I seemed to hear the old man mention something about a canteen, something about dry rations."

"Oh, what did he say?"

Upon hearing that, the sect disciple indeed showed some interest, gesturing for Tie Dan to continue.

Faced with the questioning, Tie Dan spouted nonsense.

"The old man apparently said, 'Now that the world is in chaos, it's a good chance to seize a profit; although the risk is greater, if we can survive it, from then on it will be a reversal of fate.'"

Tie Dan rambled on about irrelevant matters.

There was nothing else to do; between life and death, for a moment he had no idea how to survive—after thinking it over, he had no plan, so he could only try to buy time.

But this sect disciple wasn't stupid either; seeing him talk on and on with irrelevant nonsense, immediately the killing intent in his eyes grew even stronger, and he directly interrupted.

Nonsense, die……………………

Speaking, he had already raised his palm, intending to kill him with a single strike.

Feeling the thick death aura completely enveloping him, Tie Dan only felt the hairs on his whole body stand on end.

Seeing that palm about to fall, he was about to lose his life and perish.

Tie Dan's mind was a mush, and he subconsciously blurted out.

"Senior, spare my life; I am useful, I am very useful."

That loud shout saved Tie Dan once more, causing the youth to stop his action, but he grew even more impatient and asked.

"What use? If you utter another word of nonsense, I'll make it so you can't even wish to die."

"I I I……………………………"

Faced with the youth's questioning, Tie Dan was at a loss for words again—what use? What use does he have?

I damn well don't even know what use I have; I'm just a lowly loose cultivator, I don't even have a decent treasure on me, I can't even scrape together money to buy my life.

And seeing that Tie Dan still couldn't explain himself, the youth also completely lost his patience.

"None? Hah, then you can really go die."

"No no no, senior, I am useful, I am useful—actually… actually I am the son of Tianxing Lao Ren; I can help you find your father."

In his panic, Tie Dan shouted wildly.
