Chapter 0251 – Teenage Ambition – Absolute Return

The seat of the Young Master is no different for me.

The path I’m going to take, the things I’m going to do, have been etched in my mind for a long time.

Get stronger, then kill Wah Wuji.

However, reality has quietly changed.

The first thing that caught my eye was the twelve figures lined up in my compound.

The distinctive emblem on their chests signaled the identity–

A shield depicting a hideous evil spirit.

“We have been ordered to come and pay our respects to the Young Sect Master!” The man at the head of the group knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice, “The Heavenly Demon Temple Escort Guard, at your service!”

“My subordinate, Red Swallow, will swear to guard the Young Sect Master’s safety in the future!” He took off his helmet, revealing an angular face, but his left eye was covered with a black eye patch, adding a bit of coldness to it.

Behind him, the rest of the guards gave their names in turn and greeted me.

Twelve men, working two shifts, day and night, guarding my safety every inch of the way.

I naturally recognized them, especially Red Swallow.

They were once my brother’s guards, loyal until the day Hua Wuji came to attack, when all of them were killed in battle and none of them escaped.

“Thanks a lot.” I said thanks silently in my mind.

“In the future, our lives will be entrusted to the Young Sect Master.” Red Swallow once again knelt on one knee, his tone firm.

Their loyalty, now turned to me. This is one of the destinies I need to change.

It’s just that I don’t need them.

What I’m going to do next requires quick action and stealth, and bringing them with me will only get in the way and add to the trouble.

How I could keep them away from me became my first challenge in becoming a lesser godfather.

“All go down and rest first.” I rubbed my brow, having a plan in mind.

“Young Sect Master ……” Red Yan seems to have read my mind and wants to speak.

“The escort master had explained that if the young sect master wanted to dismiss us, we would have no more place to stay. If the Young Sect Master insists on this, the only way for us to feel at ease is to quit the Escort Guard.”

Before I could open my mouth, ? Uncle took the first step to block my back. He knew my nature too well and knew that I would never accept this kind of protection that was tantamount to house arrest.

“In that case, you are now considered my people?” I asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Nominally, we are subordinate to the Heavenly Demon Temple Escort Guard, but in reality, it is true.” Chi Yan hung his head and replied.

“Take off the blindfold.” I walked over to Akiyan and said faintly.

Red Swallow’s body shook, but she did not disobey and slowly removed the blindfold.

His left eye was not injured, but rather his eyeball took on a demonic crimson color, as if it was a burning flame that caused palpitations.

“Ghost Eye Technique.” I could tell at a glance.

Ghost eye art, a can see through the hidden art of the secret method, traditionally in the guards between the secret transmission. But the process of practicing this art is extremely painful, and the need to permanently give up the vision of one eye, can be described as half a lifetime of light, in exchange for an instant of opportunity.

“Does it hurt?” I asked.

“Still bearable.” Red Swallow replied, but her tone could not hide her pain.

“Give me your hand.”

I gently placed my palm on top of his left eye, a stream of pure internal energy slowly infused to soothe the burning pain in his eye.

“Many thanks to Young Sect Master.” Chi Yan felt the pain lessen and hurriedly bowed his head to thank him, a hint of disbelief in his tone.

“Just a stopgap measure.” I said lightly as I withdrew my palm.

Whether it was Li An or the Red Swallow in front of him, he had to pay such a huge price in order to guard others.

This is not just a problem for this Sect, but a sadness for the entire Jianghu.

“I’ve heard that if the Ghost Eye Technique is practiced to a great extent, one can see normally without the need for concealment.” I retracted my thoughts and continued.

“What the young sect master said is not false, it is just ……” Chi Yan showed a difficult face, “The ghost eye technique is extremely difficult to cultivate, and it is as difficult as heaven to achieve great success.”

“I can help you.”

Red Swallow sniffed and jerked his head up, his crimson eyes filled with shock, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

“How old are you?” I asked.

“Back to the young sect master, my subordinate is twenty-nine this year.”

“It has been twelve years since I joined the Heavenly Demon Temple Escort.”

At the age of seventeen, he had passed the selection of the Heavenly Demon Temple’s guards, so it was evident that Chi Yan’s talent was high.

“The brothers who came with me this time, although they are still young, their strength is not bad.” Red Yan added.

That’s to be expected.

? Since Uncle sent them to protect me, they must have been carefully selected. Not only is their strength outstanding, they are even more loyal to this Sect.

“What do you guys know about me?” I asked.

“We are all aware of the recent events.” Red Yan replied.

“In that case, you should know a little about my character, right?”

“Slightly.”

“Tell me about it.”

Red Swallow hesitated for a moment and said cautiously, “My subordinate has the audacity to say that the Young Sect Master is not someone who is easy to get along with.”

I nodded appreciatively.

“You only need to let go of one thing to get along with me.”

“I wonder what it is?” Red Swallow and the others looked puzzled.

“Impatience. Let go of your impatience to become my guards immediately.”

The crowd was even more puzzled as to why they would put down such thoughts when they had already been assigned to be my guards.

“Men, fetch more than ten wooden swords!” Instead of explaining, I commanded aloud.

Although Red Swallow and the others were puzzled, they immediately complied.

A few moments later, we each had a wooden sword in our hands.
