Chapter 1177: I Don't Believe You
Therefore, while Tianxin was away, he came to probe Chen Yu's background.
"I am just passing through; I have already told you that I am looking for Heavenly Treasures to cure my father's illness." Chen Yu stuck to his old script.
"Don't treat everyone else like a fool. Our Sect Master is young and has not yet stepped into the world of martial arts, which is why she listens to your one-sided story." Bamu sneered and said, "You came here, you must have other motives, right?"
"I really don't have any other motives. If you insist that I do..." Chen Yu paused here and said, "Then it is nothing more than wanting to cure my father's illness."
"My sister and I are just ordinary people. I am very grateful for Miss Tianxin's trust in me, but if you hold a suspicious attitude toward us, I will just leave." Chen Yu said.
"What a fine tactic of advancing by retreating. Our Seven Star Sect does not deal with the secular world, but that does not mean I don't understand anything." Bamu said coldly.
"I really don't have any malicious intent..." Chen Yu said helplessly.
Suddenly, Bamu raised his hand, Primordial Qi condensed in his right palm, and he struck toward Chen Yu's chest.
This guy was a Dharma Cultivator, and this palm strike was extremely sharp. If an ordinary person were hit by this, even if they didn't die, they would at least lose half their life.
Chen Yu just stood there blankly, not moving at all, letting the palm strike come toward him.
"Brother..." Just at this moment, Sanwei suddenly appeared, and she stepped forward to grab Chen Yu's hand.
Bamu had not intended to truly harm Chen Yu. Seeing that Chen Yu had no reaction to his palm strike, he withdrew his hand in time.
"Brother, what are you doing here?" Sanwei said, grabbing Chen Yu's hand, "Miss Tianxin is calling you to eat over there."
"Alright, I know. You go over first, I will come find you in a moment." Chen Yu smiled.
"Okay Brother, what are you and Brother Mu doing here?" Sanwei pretended to be curious.
"Nothing, we are just chatting." Bamu said indifferently, "You go over first and accompany our master."
"Alrighty." Sanwei nodded, looking harmless, and left the area.
"Friend, I really have no malicious intent. I just want to go to that place with my sister to find the Flame Golden Turtle to cure my family member's illness." Chen Yu sighed and said, "If you really cannot trust us, at worst we just won't follow your team."
Bamu stared at Chen Yu for a good while before the sharp glint in his eyes slowly faded away.
"That place is a forbidden zone for you ordinary people. That area is located in a basin in Shuxi; even on the maps of Huaxia, there is no marking for that region."
"Ordinary people only have a dead end if they go there. Are you sure you want to go?"
"Of course I know that place is dangerous, but there is no other way. The grace of parents must be repaid with one's life." Chen Yu cupped his hands and said, "Even if we know we will die, we will still go."
"Then you can follow our team." Bamu pondered for a moment and said, "Otherwise, whether you two can even make it there alive is another matter."
"Really? You are accepting us?" Chen Yu raised his head, revealing a look of surprise.
"You don't look like bad people, and you have filial piety, so I will help you out." Bamu said, "But you must remember, we may encounter many troubles along this journey."
"There are many things you cannot understand, so if you see things like murder for goods, do not be surprised, and don't think about calling the police; it's useless."
"Is it that serious?" Chen Yu's face turned slightly pale.
"Kid, in the eyes of you ordinary people, there is only the life of firewood, rice, oil, and salt, or how to make money and gain power." Bamu grinned and said, "But in the eyes of people like us, it is not like that."
"The place we are in is a world of martial arts. You people will never understand how sinister the world of martial arts is." Bamu glanced at Chen Yu sideways and said, "Alright, remember clearly what I said, go back."
Chen Yu nodded and went back with Bamu.
Tianxin was holding a book and reading it. Her focused appearance was very attractive. When Chen Yu walked over, she smiled slightly and said, "You're here."
"Did you need me for something?" Chen Yu asked.
"Nothing, I just invited you over to sit. I have been cultivating in the mountain gate since I was a child and don't know what the world of ordinary people is like, so I asked you over to ask about it." Tianxin wanted to know.
Chen Yu couldn't help but glance at Sanwei, and Sanwei also revealed a helpless look.
It seemed that just now Tianxin was asking Sanwei about secular matters, but Sanwei was a little demon and knew very little about secular affairs, so she had to ask Chen Yu to come over.
"What do you want to know?" Chen Yu sat down.
"Pursuits. What are the pursuits of you ordinary people?" Tianxin asked.
"That depends on what level of person you are talking about." Chen Yu smiled, "Ordinary people work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and all their busyness is just for three meals a day."
"And people at a slightly higher level strive for money and power, entering a world of deceit where they scheme against each other every day."
"Actually, the lives of ordinary people are not as easy as you think. People who are truly happy are only so before the age of five. After five, they face the pressures of schooling, advancing in education, and establishing a career and family; it can be said that they work hard for their whole lives." Chen Yu said.
"So the world of ordinary people is like this." Tianxin nodded thoughtfully. After a long while, she sighed slightly and said, "I thought the world of ordinary people was very rich and colorful, unlike us, who have such dull cultivation."
"Yes, life in this world is not easy for anyone." Chen Yu nodded slightly and said, "No matter what class of person, everyone has their own troubles, so there is no need for us to envy or try to integrate into other people's lives."
"Everyone has their own path to walk; just walk your own path well." Chen Yu said.
"En, but if there is a chance, I still want to walk around in the world of ordinary people, and I will find you to be my tour guide then." Tianxin smiled slightly.
"Alright, you are welcome anytime." Chen Yu nodded.
Just as everyone was resting, several men rushed over. These men were on foot, but their speed was extremely fast.
They were three men dressed like Taoists, each carrying an ancient sword on their back, looking travel-worn.
Moreover, Spiritual Light surged on each of their bodies; their precious light was not revealed, and in their every movement, there was a faint feeling of being one with heaven and earth.
One look and it was clear they were Dharma Cultivators, but their strength was not very high. Like Tianxin and the others, they were also in the Primordial Qi Realm, only they did not have the advantage in numbers like Tianxin's group.
"Eh, Big Brother, there are people here?" One of the Taoists glanced at Tianxin and the others, then asked in surprise.
