Chapter 0078 – The Regiment Goes Crazy – Absolute Returns

I knew that he had, already, begun to falter.

“Xidalong, how is your recent martial arts practice, going?” I turned my head to look at Xi Da Long and asked with a smile.

“Back to Young Lord, disciple, I have been cultivating hard and don’t dare to slack off.” Xi Da Long hurriedly stood up and replied respectfully.

“It’s good to work hard.” I said with a smile, “However, effort isn’t enough, you also need, a master teacher to guide you.”

As I spoke, I turned my head to look at the Blood Heavenly Dao Demon and said with a smile, “Senior, what do you think?”

“Not bad.” The Blood Heavenly Dao Demon nodded, looked at Xi Da Long, and said, “You brat, although you have some talent, your foundation, is still too poor. At this rate, even if you work hard, it will still be difficult to become a great success.”

“Master Teacher taught me a lesson.” Xi Da Long said respectfully.

“How about this, I recently, happen to have nothing to do, so I’ll instruct you on a few moves, how about it?” The Blood Heavenly Dao Demon looked at Xi Da Long and said with a smile.

“Really? Thank you, Master!” Xi Da Long was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down to kowtow.

“Get up.” The Blood Heavenly Dao Demon said with a smile, “You brat, in the future, work hard and don’t let down, Young Lord Ximen, his expectations of you.”

“Yes, Master!” Xi Da Long kowtowed again, then stood up and looked at me, his eyes filled with gratitude.

I know that the Blood Heavenly Dao Demon did this to help me.

To help me, to get the man who is in bondage.

“Young Master Ximen, you are truly blessed!” Sect Master Feng Tian looked at me and said with a smile, but his tone carried a trace of …… bitterness that he himself did not even notice?

“Elder is overpraising.” I said with a smile, “I’m just, well, lucky.”

“Luck, too, is part of strength.” Sect Leader Windsky said meaningfully.

I smiled and didn’t say anything.

I knew that he had, already, begun to falter.

Just then, the man who had been restrained, suddenly opened his mouth and asked, “What would you do if someone, tried to take your place?”

His question, out of the blue, caused Xi Da Long, to freeze.

He looked at the man with surprise and disbelief in his eyes.

“I ……” Xidarong opened his mouth, but he didn’t know how to answer.

He’d never thought about that before.

“I am a man, timid and fearful, if someone, wants to take my place, I, I should, I would obediently, give it up to him.” He hesitated for a moment, and said, with a hint of …… inferiority in his tone which he himself did not perceive?

The man sniffed, and an imperceptible …… disappointment flashed in his eyes?

“Xidalong, you brat, you’ve really let me down!” The Blood Heavenly Dao Demon suddenly spoke, with a hint of hatred in his tone, “You, but my disciple! How can, be so weak?!”

“Master ……,” Xi Da Long looked at the Blood Heavenly Dao Demon, his eyes full of grievances.

“You remember, you are my disciple, the right-hand man of Young Lord Ximen!” The Blood Heavenly Dao Demon looked at Xi Dalong and said word for word, “No one can snatch your position! Whoever dares to snatch it, you will give it to me, and beat it back fiercely!”

“Yes, Master!” When Xi Da Long heard this, his spirit immediately lifted and he loudly answered.

“Xidalong, don’t worry, I will ‘train’ you well.” I looked at Xi Da Long and said with a smile.

“Thank you, Young Lord!” Xi Da Long said gratefully.

Right at this moment, Demon Monarch Zhang Hu suddenly stood up, walked over to the restrained man, and said with a smile, “This brother, if Xidalong, he, doesn’t want this position, I, can take his place.”

“You?” The man looked at Zhang Hu, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

“Not bad, me.” Zhang Hu nodded and said with a smile, “I, am not as smart as Xi Da Long, but I, have a, loyal heart!”

He looked at me with determination in his eyes.

“Young Lord Ximen, I am willing, to be your right hand man!” He exclaimed.

I looked at Zhang Hu and nodded in my heart.

This kid, really ……

“Good!” I said with a smile, “I, for one, accept your loyalty!”

“Many thanks, Young Lord!” Zhang Hu was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down to kowtow.

I smiled and helped him up, then turned my head to the restrained man and said with a smile, “How about it, these people of mine, are they still in your good graces?”

The man looked at me, a flicker of mixed emotions in his eyes.

He was silent for a few moments before he finally spoke, “You, are a man worth following.”

I sniffed and was delighted.

I knew that I, finally, had his approval!
