"BB…I think we lost them- shit, get down,"
Adrain said, ducking down into a bunch of leaves.
They stood on a large tree, hidden by its numerous soft purple leaves, as a bunch of swordsmen flew past them.
"Tsk, I gave them so much money for free, so why are they still chasing me,"
Adrian complained to BB as he pet the sides of her neck. "They are always so greedy it's weird.
, like look at that one."
Adrian pointed to a faraway trio that hovered around the forest.
Qi refining cultivators late, late, and peak.
They were two males in Xianxia-type robes, red and blue respectively,
The red dressed one had two swords at his back with a fox like gaze and a chiseled face
Blue wore gauntlets on his hands with a rough face adorned with a hair at its sides.
The purple haired female was dressed in pink sleeveless robes that were halfway to her knee at peak stage qi refining.
"The male in blue, I'll call him blue—look at his eyes. His jealous of red for some reason, but his intentions are so clear that means red has to know and will plan to kill him soon."
Adrian paused and pointed at Red's face
"Just, look at his scheming face. It is not his first time killing a friend."
Adrian pointed at the girl, and he signed.
"She knows they both hate each other, so it's likely she is using her charm magic skills to instigate. I can feel the mana… Sorry, qi fluctuations from this distance!!!"
Adrian finished his explanation, and BB roared in praise, shaking the tree and alerting the approaching team.
"Shush, they will hear us… damn, they already noticed us— play it cool."
Adrian said before putting on black tinted glasses while pulling out a suit and quickly wearing it and moving too deeper parts of the tree.
The trio of scheming background character cultivators smirked as they soon reached the tree.
Then red screamed, "Oh, no one is here, I guess we just leave."
"Yeah, pah pah pah." The girl mock walked with her mouth. The team of cultivators held a chuckle expecting whoever was hiding up there to believe them.
"Yeah-" Blue wanted to take part before a scream suddenly interrupted him.
"Shut up!!!" Adrian said, fed up with their middle school acting skills.
The trio got alert and instinctively beamed up their qi.
"Like how old do you think I am!!! Wait, don't answer that." Adrian then jumped down wearing a black tuxedo with a red tie with black tinted glasses.
He tucked his tie and continued, "But I am in a merciful mood, so I will spare you today… but never let it happen again, cool!"
BB also came out from the bushes in a tuxedo, and after a few moments, they stood directly facing each other.
"-__-"
They all had deadpan faces as they stared at the child-bear duo.
"What?"
They all collectively asked.
"What this. How this. Why this, why that, questions, questions. Why don't you join a fucking acapella, you stupid morons!!!"
Adrian said before throwing a newspaper at red's face.
"Now, down to business. I am from the Penglai family in the Shanghai dynasty, the 10th young master and next in line sect chief!"
Adrian then slowly removed his glasses, his face was adorned with a sad expression with tears flowing down his cheeks.
"But now I may never be sect master, all because my stupid servant decided to undergo tribulation next to the rest of us!!"
Adrian then st on the ground with a dilapidated complexion, "If only some helpful souls will get me back to my family. I am sure that my family will reward them handsomely."
The trio's faces suddenly changed from shock to greed as they looked at Adrian like he was a sack of spirit stones.
The charm lady smiled and approached Adrian.
"Young master-"
"Shin Hao!"
Adrian completed it for her.
"Yes, Young master Shin Hao, we can help you get to your family, but you first have to tell us where-"
She was interrupted by a stone tablet that collided with her face.
"Hear you, lowly cultivator."
Adrian said with disdain as he threw the object at her face in contempt.
Her face turned red as fumes seemed to come out of her ears.
Adrian noticed her rage and internally smirked.
"What? Are you angry!? If you dare touch me, my family won't let you go!!"
Adrian said with contempt as he trod back to BB while putting his glasses back on.
"Young Master Shin Hao, I could never dare to harm you, but you have to cooperate so we can-"
She politely said as she lowered her voice to each sentence.
"No, I don't."
Adrian interrupted her mid-speech as he got on the back of BB.
"I am not commanding you. I am-"
"Good."
Adrian said while nodding his head
"What?"
The lady said in confusion.
"I said good… are you deaf, Woman?!"
Adrian said with a stoic face.
"Oh, ok, but what is good?" She asked with a hint of expectation.
.
.
.
"It's good you know your place," Adrian said.
.
.
.
"Ok, that's it, I will kill-"
An enormous pink aura emitted from the girl, and the marking on BB's antlers flared.
The two teammates quickly stepped in and held her back.
"YoungMaster, our friend here is not right in the head. She is very prone to anger, please forgive her," Red said quickly, bowing at a 90 degrees angle.
"Yea. Yes, what he said." Blue nodded to the proposition.
Adrian didn't reply but just looked at them with a dead stare.
"-__-"
"-__-"
"-__-"
"Shameless motherfuckers, their faces thicker than snow, next they gonna say they didn't notice mount tai!!!" Adrian internally said with a baffled expression, but on the outside, he remained calm.
"I see, my condolences then. It must be tiring to travel with such baggage." Adrian said with a down tone, slightly bowing at the heroes.
The girl wanted to rage again, but an object found its way to her face once more.
The trio looked down and noticed - five mid-grade spirit stones.
"There, use it to treat yourselves!" Adrian said before slightly nudging at BB.
BB got the message and slowly left the spot.
Red and blue instantly fought each other for who would be the first to get the spirit stone, and the charm girl ignored the two idiots and went to Adrian.
With a deep breath, she swallowed the rage that boiled inside her and bowed.
"Sorry for my rudeness. It will not happen again."
Adrian didn't answer, causing sweat to drip down her cheeks.
"Is he offended? If he escapes back— will his family send people to kill me!?" She rapidly thought as she watched his leaving back.
"Should— I kill him now?"
A Pink mist appeared on her hand, increasing in intensity each second.
Adrian who's back-faced her evilly smirked
"Stop making me waste so much oxygen and follow me!"
He lazily said as he yawned before lying down on BB,s moving back.
Charm girl's tense shoulder dropped, and the mist in her hands disappeared.
"Oh… sorry? Young Master!" She then followed him. Red and blue saw they got left behind after they finished their struggle and hurriedly followed.
