Chapter 25 Cursed

Fitness Fun in the Park0:09 / 1:07

Not too long after the wagons left, Chu Che, Old Fru, and the rest appeared.

Apart from Chu Che, Old Fru and the rest were still a bit dumbfounded.

Earlier on, when Chu Che took them here, they secretly thought that it was ridiculous.

Especially after seeing how the old lady rocked her chair back and forth and complained about her back.

Of course, they were far away from the Old lady, so they couldn't tell if she had mortal bones or not.

However, from observing her for over 4 hours, they were still unconvinced and inwardly thought that the young master might be mistaken.

But how could they have known that they would get slapped in the face so soon?

This time, their eyes had really opened up in shock.

What was this operation?

Old lady, so you can straighten your back like that?

They couldn't help feeling a little terrified when pondering if there were such dangerous people in the town they didn't know about.

They started wondering if all the ordinary-looking people they saw were just as they seemed or had hidden identities while staying here.

What made Old Fru more depressed was that he knew the Old man escorting the old lady.

The old man got here 3 months ago, claiming that his village far away had been destroyed by bandits.

So he came over to settle down.

At least that's the story the old man told him.

And he believed even more because looking at the old man, he couldn't see through the other person's cultivation level, making him more inclined to think that the old man was a mortal.

Another reason why he might not have been able to see through the old man might be because the old man had a higher cultivation level.

But for some reason, he always brushed it off and took the old man as a mortal.

Of course during that time, Chu Che was also sick, so they didn't have much time to think about such things.

He often met the old man while moving on the streets in official business or doing a few other errands.

He remembered that the old man also maintained that he had a wife.

But he had never seen the lady before.

So they were both from Black Valley?

Hmph!

To think that the bastard had once wanted him to marry his cousin in some big city.

Damn him.

He had been played!

.

Without wasting any time, all 5 started racing through the streets at a safe enough angle while talking about the matter.

Old Fru's face grew pale as he thought things through.

"Young Master, neither of us can see their strengths. If not for the strength shielding artifacts left behind by the mistress, I'm afraid that they might've discovered us a long time ago."

Chu Che "Hmhm. Judging from the fact that I can see their strength, this means that even though they're stronger than you all, they're either similar to me in strength or weaker than I am."

Everyone nodded, listening to Chu Chu.

"You 4 are all in the 9 and 10th Dans, while I'm at the 12th Dan. So they should fall on the 11th or 12th Dan too. But don't forget, they're esteemed elders in Black Valley. So it stands with reason that the juniors in Black Valley should be far weaker than them. That said, could any of you make out the strengths of the black-masked cultivators?"

"Yes, young master. We did. And they're all slightly weaker than us."

"Hmmm. If an esteemed elder in Black Valley is only at the True Qi Realm, then that means that Black Valley itself might either be a branch of some more prominent devilish sect... Or, it could be a newly established sect struggling to survive and have its way to the tip in secret."

"Young master, I think you're right. Bigger sects have people in the Origin Realm (2nd Dao) that are about to ascend. So if the old lady and man are esteemed elders in their Black Valley, then it might not be the leading force for these evil cultivators." Old Fru and everyone else agreed.

They couldn't help but feel relieved.

At least for now, they weren't fighting with some mighty sect.

But then again, something still made Old Fru's scalp numb.

.

"Young master, aren't you scared of revenge? What if there are other major forces backing the valley up who then later come for revenge?"

"Eh?... Old Fru, does it matter whether they come for revenge or not. We'll still be taking our children back. So what difference does it make? And besides, even if they did come, don't worry, they won't be able to get past the town walls."

Old Fru looked at Chu Che in confusion: "Why?"

"Because I'm awesome!"

"_"

"Old Fru, I didn't want to drop my vest right now, but your young master is really awe-striking.action

Don't worry. If they dared to come, they'd have me to contend with. But you know, after taking a single glance at me, they might get jealous and attack even more... I have to admit that my handsome face might once again cause trouble for the town. Do you know how much trouble it has been giving me recently? Sigh... What a curse."

"_"

Old Fru and the rest almost stumbled while running.

They looked to the heavens and rolled their eyes speechlessly.

'Young master, I have never seen someone as narcissistic as you. What does this have to do with your face bye? No one cares!'

Honestly, they didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Why didn't they realize that the young master was so shameless?

Could it be his illness that damaged some part of his brain?

Why did he always think that the world was against him because he was handsome?

Old Fru touched his rough, wrinkly face and truly missed his youthful appearance.

He couldn't wait to turn back the hands of time after breaking through and slapping Chu Che's face with his true appearance.

His young master could really be hateful.

Chu Chu, who sincerely felt that his face would be a problem, couldn't help feeling bad for his town.

He just prayed that no villain would see him and get jealous again.

What a cruel world.

.

"Everyone just now, I heard that they have Natarajas, so stay vigilant."

"Right!"

With that, they hastened up, quickly picking up the pace.

It was time to put their plan in motion.
