A rare opportunity

Chapter 457 Each Has His Own Reasons

Cheng Zhen and Huang Qi were also looking at the backs of Li Yu and the others. They seemed not to have heard Zheng Jian's words, but just stared at the backs of Li Yu and the others in a daze!

Zheng Jian quickly reached out and pulled the two of them, whispering:

"Let's go! It will be too late if he changes his mind!"

The two were startled and followed Zheng Jian down the mountain quickly. Zheng Jian still looked back from time to time, afraid that Li Yu would catch up!

However, until they left the range of Lingshan, no one was chasing them. Zheng Jian knew that they were safe now, and he couldn't help laughing! He shouted:

“Hahaha! Nascent Soul! I’m going to become a Nascent Soul soon! Hahaha…”

Seeing no one agreeing with him, he couldn't help but look around, his face full of confusion!

It turned out that Cheng Zhen and Huang Qi did not look happy. Cheng Zhen's face was as gloomy as water. Huang Qi looked confused and lost!

Zheng Jian was very surprised!

"Eh? Hey, what's wrong with you two? One of you looks sad, and the other looks like he's lost his soul? Are you possessed by evil spirits?"

Cheng Zhen just rolled his eyes at him, while Huang Qi didn't even look at him, still immersed in confusion!

Seeing that the two ignored him, Zheng Jian couldn't help but feel a little angry. He turned around and took a look, then continued to run forward. He thought to himself: What are you two old guys doing? You ignore me, and I don't want to pay attention to you either! After running a long way, he found something wrong. Looking around, he found that there was only Huang Qi who was absent-minded beside him. And Cheng Zhen was nowhere to be found! He hurriedly stopped and looked back. Only then did he find that Cheng Zhen had stopped far behind him, lowering his head in thought!

Zheng Jian looked at Cheng Zhen in the distance and then at Huang Qi beside him, thinking: Could it be that these two people are really possessed by some evil spirit? Could it be that Li Yu is using some kind of magic? Then why don't I feel anything at all? Oh! Never mind, I'm leaving first!

To be honest, these so-called Four Saints of Lanyu Star were not close friends, and it was rare to see them on weekdays. But since they were called the Four Saints, they naturally became friends. Of course, they were just friends, and there was no relationship.

Zheng Jian thought that as long as he walked, the two would definitely follow him. But after running a few miles, not only did Cheng Zhen not catch up, but even Huang Qi stopped where he was!

Zheng Jian wanted to ignore them and leave. But considering that they came together, it would be bad if word got out that he had abandoned them! He could ignore what others said, but he had to consider the feelings of Cheng Zhen and Huang Qi! If he really left them alone, he might lose these two friends on the surface! He could ignore other people, but he couldn't ignore people who were as famous as him! He had to stop and yell at the two of them:

"Hey...! Are you guys going to leave or not? If you don't leave, they'll catch up with us!"

It would be fine if he didn't shout. When he shouted, Cheng Zhen, who was standing far away, stamped his feet as if he had made a decision, turned around and walked back the way he came!

When Huang Qi saw this, he hesitated for a moment and then shouted:

"Brother Cheng! Wait for me!"

Then he chased after him!

Zheng Jian was stunned! What happened to these two people? What did they want to do? After hesitating for a long time, he finally turned around and chased after them. He blocked their way and asked anxiously:

"You...what do you want to do?"

Cheng Zhen glanced at him and said in a deep voice:

"go back!"

"Go back? Are you fucking crazy? We finally managed to get away, why are you going back? Aren't you afraid that he will keep you here?"

Zheng Jian was a little furious.

"Just stay! There's no other way. I, Cheng Zhen, will never owe anyone a favor in my life, let alone a younger generation? Or such a big favor?"

Cheng Zhen said lightly.

"Crazy! I think you are fucking crazy! So Brother Huang, what about you? Are you planning to go back too?"

Zheng Jian turned to ask Huang Qi. He wanted to bring Huang Qi along. That way, he wouldn't be alone!

"Of course I have to go back! Even if Brother Cheng doesn't go back, I will go back! You know what it means to be happy when you see the prey? Even with my current strength, I can't refine the Barrier Breaking Pill! Li Yu was able to refine it at such a young age, so he must have some superb skills! Even if these pills are not made by him, he should know where they came from! If we find their origins, we may be able to master the refining methods! If I don't understand these, I will definitely be unable to sleep or eat! If you want to know these, you must go back!"

Huang Qi seemed to have figured everything out now, and he spoke clearly and logically, without any trace of confusion!

"You... aren't you afraid that they will detain you and not let you leave?"

Zheng Jian was so angry that his mouth was shaking! He originally thought that they were possessed by evil spirits, but it turned out that they each had their own demons! One was extremely pedantic! The other was obsessed and confused!

Cheng Zhen did not speak, Huang Qi sighed:

"Alas! It's up to him whether to deduct it or not! If I learn how to refine the Barrier Breaking Pill, what's the harm in staying?"

"You...you guys really make me mad! In that case, let's say goodbye now and see you later!"

Zheng Jian was so angry that he immediately bowed to the two of them and rushed forward!

Cheng Zhen remained silent. Huang Qi opened his mouth but didn't say anything to persuade him. As the saying goes, everyone has their own aspirations. Since he wants to leave, no one can stop him!

The more Zheng Jian thought about it, the angrier he got. He immediately left the two of them and ran away! He gradually calmed down as the cool breeze blew! He thought to himself: Three of the Four Sages of Lanyu stayed in the Yukou League, and only I left. Is this appropriate? Although they each have their own reasons for staying, in the eyes of outsiders, it is for the future of Lanyu Star! It sounds noble. In this way, doesn't it make me look a little despicable? The Four Sages of Lanyu should have advanced and retreated together. If I leave like this, it is equivalent to withdrawing from the ranks of the Four Sages of Lanyu!

He couldn't help but stop and think hard! He was unwilling, but then he thought that going back might not be a bad thing! At least in Lingshan, the spiritual energy is much richer than other places! Then the time for me to advance to the Nascent Soul will be greatly advanced! I couldn't help but think: Those two old guys are willing to stay, maybe because of this? I was thinking too much. As long as I successfully advance to the Nascent Soul, with my swordsmanship, I can leave if I want to, and stay if I want to. Who can force me? After thinking this through, he immediately turned around and returned to Lingshan!

Cheng Zhen and Huang Qi had opened up their minds and were relaxed and happy on the road. Even though Zheng Jian tried his best to catch up with them, he only caught up with them at the foot of Lingshan Mountain! When he saw the two of them, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and shouted:

"Wait a minute, my dear friends! Wait a minute!"

The two men turned around abruptly upon hearing the voice and saw Zheng Jian, who was sweating profusely. Even the serious Cheng Zhen showed a smile that was uglier than crying!

Huang Qi laughed loudly and said:

"Haha! Brother Zheng! I knew you wouldn't abandon us!"

Zheng Jian spread his hands in an exaggerated manner and sighed:

"Alas! What can I do to make friends with a madman? The four saints of Lanyu should advance and retreat together! Since you have all decided to join the Anti-Knife Alliance, then I, Old Zheng, can only sacrifice my life to accompany you!"

"Mad? You're calling us crazy?"

Huang Qi was a little confused.

"You don't want to be a hermit, but you have to wade into this flood. If you are not crazy, what are you? It's easy to join the Anti-Knife Alliance, but it's hard to leave!"

Zheng Jian whispered.

"Senior Zheng, you are wrong! I, Li Yu, still say the same thing. The Anti-Knife Alliance welcomes you to join! But we will never tie your hands and feet. If you want to leave, we will never stop you!"

Zheng Jian was so frightened that he jumped! When he looked up, he saw Li Yu had landed in front of them and smiled at them.

Zheng Jian couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling and embarrassed! But as one of the Four Saints, he still had to show his respect. He snorted coldly and said:

"Humph! The leader of the Yukou League likes to do sneaky things. I am really impressed by this!"

Li Yu was stunned! Then he bowed and said:

"Please forgive me, Senior Zheng! Although I did not do this on purpose, I have offended several of you! Please do not blame me!"
