Chapter 0278 – Friends Reunited – Absolute Return

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

When Jian Wuji and the Fist Demon arrived at the Blood Sky Blade Demon’s residence, he was sitting at the table with a book in his hands, reading with great interest.

"Why did your old man come here to read a book?" Jian Wuji asked with a smile.

The Blood Heavenly Saber Demon replied without lifting his head, "You’ve trapped me here, I have to find something to do."

"Where did this book come from?" Jian Wuji asked curiously.

"There’s a study in the branch rudder that has quite a few books in it." The Blood Sky Blade Demon said.

"It’s only strange that those rude guys would read books." Jian Wuji laughed and shook his head, saying, "Your old man is really a good learner."

"Cut the crap, you came to find me, what’s the matter?" Blood Heavenly Blade Demon put down the book in his hand, looked up at Jian Wuji and asked.

"You should see this first."

Jian Wuji handed a letter to the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon.

"A letter from the granddaughter of the Martial Alliance Master, Qin Xia Ling?" The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon took the letter, glanced at it, and said with some surprise.

"That’s right." Jian Wu Jie nodded, "She invited me to a young masters gathering and said that she had something important to discuss with me."

"It seems that there is movement on their side." The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said.

According to the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon’s advice, they only needed to wait and see what would happen and wait for the other party to reveal their cracks. However, this letter from Qin Xia Ling had disrupted their plans.

"I reckon that it’s that intermediary between the Thousand Flowers Sect Master and Qin Xiajun who is pressurizing Qin Xiajun." Jian Wuji said.

Qin Xia Ling invited him to meet at this time, it must be because Qin Xiajun was in trouble.

"What are you going to do?" Fist Demon asked.

"A friend invites, so naturally I have to go to the appointment." Jian Wuji said with a smile.

Fist Demon’s face, became serious.

"Going to the territory of the Martial Arts Alliance is no joke." He reminded.

Previously, when Jian Wuji was in contact with the Martial Arts Alliance, it was in his personal capacity, but now it was different, he was the young master of the Demon Sect, and his every move represented the position of the Demon Sect.

"I’ll be careful." Jian Wuji said.

"We’ll go with you." Fist Demon said.

He didn’t ask the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon’s opinion, and it was obvious that they had already discussed that they would stay by Jian Wuji’s side until the matter was over.

"I’m afraid that if the two seniors go together, it will cause a panic in the Martial Arts Alliance." Jian Wuji said with a smile, "You guys are scaring the entire Hunan Rudder."

The Blood Heavenly Blade Fiend and Fist Fiend couldn’t help but laugh at his words. They also knew that their appearance this time was indeed a bit exaggerated.

"We won’t show our faces." The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said, "We will hide in the shadows and keep you safe."

"Then I’ll trouble the two seniors." Jian Wuji said.

Just then, Red Flame walked in and reported, "Young Lord, someone is seeking an audience."

First, there was Qin Xia Ling’s unexpected letter, and now there was a request for an audience, it seemed that today was not destined to be peaceful.

"Who is it?" Jian Wuji asked.

"It’s …… Liam girl."

Dressed in a black suit with a black mask on his face, Li An slowly walked into the Hunan Rudder.

The devil disciples in the branch rudder, when they saw Li An, couldn’t help but stop and curiously sized her up.

Although Li An was wearing a mask, she still couldn’t hide her beautiful face. Moreover, the powerful aura emanating from her body also made those demonic disciples not dare to underestimate her.

Behind her, Green Face, with a dozen similarly dressed men in black, followed closely behind. Each of these black-clothed men, with their calm breaths and stern gazes, were clearly experts.

"Liam!"

Seeing Li An, Jian Wuji greeted him with a smile.

If it was usual, Li An would have run over excitedly and called him "Young Master" affectionately. However, today, she showed great restraint and only slowly walked over to Jian Wuji and respectfully bowed.

"My subordinates see the Young Lord."

"What’s the matter with you? Why have you suddenly become so formal?" Jian Wuji asked with a smile.

"Subordinate does not dare." Li An lowered his head and said.

"Alright, don’t be formal, all sit down." Jian Wuji said.

Only then did Li An and Green Face and the others, sit down opposite Jian Wuji.

"Li An, you’ve come this time, is there anything you want?" Jian Wuji asked.

"My subordinate is here to restore orders to the Young Lord." Li An said.

"Reinstatement?" Jian Wuji asked, "What resumption of orders?"

"My subordinate has already formed the first team of Ghost Shadow Guards." Li An said.

"Oh? Is that so?" Jian Wuji instantly became interested, "Quickly introduce me."

"Yes, Young Lord."

Li An stood up, pointed at the black-clothed men behind him, and said, "These are the members of the Ghost Shadow Guard’s first team."

Qing Mian also stood up and saluted Jian Wuji, saying, "My subordinate, Qing Mian, captain of the first team of Ghost Shadow Guards, see you, Young Lord."

The first team of Ghost Shadow Guards was finally formed. Green Face still wore that green colored mask, but the eyes under the mask were filled with determination and confidence. He had given up the opportunity to become a Demon Sovereign and chose to become the captain of the Ghost Shadow Guards, showing his loyalty to Jian Wuji.

"There’s only the first team at the moment, but it will slowly expand later." Li An said.

"We only follow the orders of the Young Lord." Green Face added.

"Any orders?" Jian Wuji asked.

"Yes, any order." Greenface replied without hesitation.

"If I were to order you to assassinate the Martial Alliance Master right now, what would you do?" Jian Wuji asked.

This was a mission to send death, but Green Face still replied without hesitation, "Subordinate and the others, we will definitely complete the mission to the death!"

"What if my father ordered it? And, what if his order conflicts with mine?" Jian Wuji asked.

Green Face froze for a moment, then said, "Subordinates and the others, they only follow the orders of the Young Lord."

"I understand your loyalty, but my father’s orders, you must also obey." Jian Wuji said, "His orders are equivalent to mine."

"Yes, Young Lord!"

Greenface replied respectfully.

Jian Wuji patted Qingmian’s shoulder and said, "In the future, it will be hard on you."

"My subordinate will do his best to live up to Young Lord’s high expectations." Green Face said.

Jian Wuji added to the other members of the first team of Ghost Shadow Guards, "I often tell my guards to love themselves and live for themselves."

The members of the Ghost Shadow Guard all revealed a look of realization. It seemed that Li An had already introduced Jian Wuji to them.

Jian Wuji pointed at one of the Ghost Shadow Guards and asked, "Do you know why I named this team ‘Ghost Shadow Guards’?"

"My subordinate heard that it’s because the Young Lord wants us to become your shadows and guard your side forever." That Ghost Shadow Guard replied.

"That’s right, you guys are my shadows." Jian Wuji said.

Standing at the side of the Red Flame, heard these words, his heart immediately a little uncomfortable. He had always thought that he was the young master’s most loyal shadow, but he didn’t expect that a "Ghost Shadow Guard" would appear now.

Jian Wuji ignored Red Flame’s small mind and continued to say to the members of the Ghost Shadow Guard, "Isn’t it strange for the body to be happy while the shadow suffers? Therefore, I hope that you all, instead of sacrificing yourselves for me, live for yourselves and make yourselves happy. Only when you are happy will this team be stronger."

"Remember, be a happy shadow!"

"Yes, Young Lord!"

The members of the Ghost Shadow Guard, replied in unison.

The word "happiness" is an unfamiliar word in the Magic Sect and even in the entire Jianghu.

Li An added from the side, "Young Master’s intention is not for you to become weak, but for you to be able to enjoy life while accomplishing your mission."

"Understood!"

The members of the Ghost Shadow Guard, once again, replied in unison.

"Alright, you all have worked hard, go down and rest first." Jian Wuji said.

"Yes, Young Lord!"

The members of the Ghost Shadow Guard, one after another, got up and left the hall.

"Liam, you come with me."

Jian Wuji brought Li An, to the back garden.

"Why did you suddenly come here?" Jian Wuji asked.

"I heard that Young Master was here, so I stopped by to take a look." Li An said.

"You came here specifically to show off your Ghost Shadow Guard to me, right?" Jian Wuji said with a smile.

"Being seen through by young master." Li An said with some embarrassment.

"Well? My Ghost Shadow Guard, not bad, huh?"

Jian Wu Ji intentionally didn’t say anything and just quietly looked at Li An, wanting to tease her.

Li An was a bit nervous, she was worried that Jian Wuji would be dissatisfied.

"Young master, don’t be so secretive, just tell me, my Ghost Shadow Guard, how is it?"

"Not bad." Jian Wuji finally spoke, "You’ve worked hard."

Hearing Jian Wu Ji’s affirmation, Li An Dun breathed a sigh of relief and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Young Master, I have something else to tell you." Li An said.

"What is it?"

"I came to the Central Plains this time and found a lot of interesting things." Li An said, "I think that we should go and meet them."

"Oh? What interesting thing?" Jian Wuji asked.
