Chapter 2376: He Is the Bandit Chief's Son

Tie Dan's words were absolutely spoken without thinking in a panic, just blurted out.

So after the words fell, Tie Dan himself couldn't help but stare for a moment, greatly shocked, wondering what he was saying.

However, what he didn't expect was that the Sect disciple opposite, who had already been ready to attack, upon hearing this, also stopped his action.

His gaze even became serious, scanning Tie Dan up and down; that piercing stare made him feel creepy.

It wasn't until Tie Dan felt guilty under the gaze, barely able to bear it, that this Sect disciple finally spoke.

"Are you the bandit chief's son?"

His words were full of scrutiny, as if saying, if you dare utter a lie, your death will come the next second.

Faced with the intense pressure emanating from that Sect disciple, Tie Dan felt his whole body involuntarily tense.

He nodded dumbly in reply.

"Senior, I am indeed the old man's child."

Afterwards, this Sect disciple asked many more questions about the bandit chief, but since he himself had no knowledge, he could only judge based solely on Tie Dan's one-sided account.

It makes sense, as a proud Sect disciple, there's no reason to bother learning about a petty loose cultivator.

Even though that loose cultivator has reached the Earth Immortal realm cultivation, given his age, he basically can't make any further progress in this life, so he's utterly not worth attention.

Moreover, Tie Dan's talent for bragging is truly first-rate absurdity.

This is mainly thanks to this guy's experiences since childhood.

Born in the marketplace, raised in the marketplace, his ancestors also made a living by cheating and deceit.

Thus, from the time he could remember, Tie Dan, under constant exposure, learned a superb skill of bragging.

At the age of seven or eight, he already knew to speak human words to people and ghost words to ghosts.

After all these years, deceiving a Sect disciple who hasn't seen much of the world is, for him, certainly not difficult.

So, after Tie Dan finished speaking, this Sect disciple also didn't notice any problem, frowned in thought for a moment, then spoke solemnly.

"You say you have a way to find your father?"

"Yes, yes, my father once taught me a secret technique that can determine the approximate location via bloodline sensing."

In order to survive, Tie Dan continued to spout nonsense; upon this, the Sect disciple nodded almost imperceptibly.

At the same time, he secretly rejoiced in his heart.

He never expected that this lucky mistake would yield such a gain, letting him encounter the bloodline child of the bandit chief.

If he could find the bandit chief through this child, he would surely achieve the foremost merit this time.

By then, the bandit chief's provisions, he would definitely have to award him a share.

You should know, this disciple's actual strength in the Sect is not outstanding, and he lacks any powerful background.

This time, following along, he was just here to make up numbers; if luck is good, after success he might get a share or two of provisions as hard-earned money.

But such a mere one or two shares of provisions are basically meaningless; who would lack that amount, this little bit is enough for who to eat?

But now it's different; having the bandit chief's child in hand makes this merit impossible to erase.

And if he truly could, through this child, find the bandit chief and seize those provisions before other forces, then his contribution would be indispensable.

So, this Sect disciple indeed couldn't help feeling a burst of excitement; this is practically a heaven-sent opportunity.

It seems this great achievement ought to have his share.

Thinking this, the Sect disciple couldn't help but speak in a low voice.

"If you can help me find your father, I can guarantee to spare your life; not only that, I can also vouch for you, granting you the status of an ordinary Outer Door Disciple."

"Of course, our Sect will not make things difficult for your father either; as long as he willingly hands over those provisions, our Sect can also spare his life."

Even worrying that Tie Dan, out of filial piety, would rather die than lead him to someone, this Sect disciple added, he would not harm his father's life.

Their Sect's goal is only those provisions; as long as the father and son obediently hand over those provisions, both can preserve their lives.

Even Tie Dan could join the Immortal Sect and become a Sect disciple.

That would be far better than wandering aimlessly.

In order to temporarily stabilize Tie Dan, this Sect disciple could be said to have exhausted all efforts, using every means.

Since such an opportunity exists, he naturally doesn't want to miss it, nor does he want any mishap in the process.

But these words mean nothing to Tie Dan.

After all, he is not at all that old man's son; whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with him.

But for now, Tie Dan still nods repeatedly, smiling with an obedient look.

"Thank you, Senior; as long as you don't harm my father and me, this junior is willing to persuade my father to hand over those provisions."

Seeing Tie Dan's sincerity, this Sect disciple also nodded in approval.

"The young can be taught."

Considering he had already managed to tie down Tie Dan, this Sect disciple also completely dispelled his killing intent, and all surrounding murderous aura dissipated.

Feeling this, Tie Dan also let out a complete sigh of relief.

Although he still hasn't managed to escape, at least his life is temporarily preserved; as for what to do next, Tie Dan has no idea.

He can only take it step by step; anyway, no matter what, being alive brings hope.

Tie Dan thought this, and at this moment the Sect disciple also spoke in a low voice.

"First follow me back, then lead the way to find your father."

"Yes."

Tie Dan dared not refuse, so he could only follow this Sect disciple all the way toward their Immortal Sect's Immortal Boat.

Along the way, perhaps to pacify Tie Dan, this Sect disciple proactively told his surname.

Moreover, he let Tie Dan not have to constantly call him Senior; since they are roughly the same age, addressing him as Xu Shī xiōng is fine.

Actually, speaking of it, this Xu Shī xiōng is considerably younger than Tie Dan.

Moreover, this child is a bit clever, but not much; his methods of pacifying people, in Tie Dan's eyes, are simply childish to the extreme.

He thought it was useful, but the instant his words fell, he was already completely seen through.

Just Tie Dan kept cooperating with the act, so this Xú Shīxiōng still thought his methods were smooth, which made Tie Dan startled again and again.

The two hurried all the way to where the Immortal Vessel was; not far from the Immortal Vessel, Xú Shīxiōng ran into a fellow disciple.

A girl about his age, but Xú Shīxiōng called her Senior Sister.

"Senior Sister."

"Hmm, who is this person?"

Obviously, this girl had also gone out to look for clues, but it seems she came up empty-handed.

Upon seeing Tie Dan, the girl couldn't help but frown, and she asked somewhat suspiciously.

Hearing that, Xú Shīxiōng grinned, feeling rather proud as he spoke.

"Senior Sister, you don't know, this child is the offspring of that bandit chief, found by my junior brother; now he is willing to seek his father for our sect, persuade his father to turn over a new leaf, and hand over that batch of provisions."

"Oh……………………"
