Chapter 0348 – Fluttering – Absolute Return

The Holy Sect’s bazaar was not unlike the Demon Sect’s Moga Village.

In the bustling crowd, vendors were shouting and bargaining. If not for the martial arts practitioners, it would be hard to tell if this was the Sacred Sect, the Martial Arts Alliance, or the Heavenly Devil Sect just by looking at the bustling scene.

“Why are you so curious?” Panther Kiguang couldn’t help but ask when he saw Jian Wuji staring unseeingly at the scene around him.

“I’ve been in closed-door cultivation for years, and I rarely have the chance to come out and walk around.” Jian Wuji explained.

“No wonder you were able to become the Young Alliance Master’s guard at such an early age.” Leopard Kiguang said.

He brought Jian Wuji and arrived at a familiar restaurant.

“This restaurant, I often come here, the flavor is not bad.” Panther Kiguang said.

The owner of the restaurant and the fellows, however, treated him in a very cold manner, with none of the warmth with which they treated their regular customers.

“I’ve been here before, and fought a couple times.” Panther Kilglow explained.

The reason why he would say this to Jian Wuji was because he felt that Jian Wuji was a trustworthy person.

“It seems that you being injured is a good thing for this restaurant.” Jian Wuji laughed.

“What does that mean?” Panther Kiguang asked in disbelief.

“If you weren’t injured, this restaurant, I’m afraid it would have been demolished by you.” Jian Wuji joked.

Panther Kiguang sniffed and laughed out loud.

He liked this sense of humor of Jian Wuji and the way he listened to himself attentively.

“Boss, a jug of good wine, and a few good dishes!” Panther Kiguang was in a good mood and ordered a few of the most expensive dishes with great generosity.

“Leopard Hall Master, you’ve broken the bank.” Jian Wuji said.

“It’s fine, it’s a waste to keep this money, anyway.” Leopard Kikuang said carelessly.

“It’s better to save your money.” Jian Wuji advised, “As long as I’m around, you’ll be fine.”

“You kid, your breath is not small.” Panther Kiguang said with a smile, but in his heart, he was very moved.

He picked up the wine pot and poured himself a glass of wine before pouring another for Jian Wuji.

“That person, it’s not something you can deal with.” Leopard Kiguang put down the wine pot and looked at Jian Wuji, saying seriously.

He was referring to the man who had instructed him to collect the children.

“I have my ways.” Jian Wuji said confidently.

“You’re too young to know, how terrifying he is.” Leopard Kiguang shook his head and said.

Jian Wuji didn’t say anything and just sipped his wine silently.

He knew that Panther Kilgore was telling the truth.

That man, indeed, was beyond his ability to deal with.

He, however, has his cards.

“The position of the Black Dragon Regiment’s master, how did you get it?” Jian Wuji suddenly asked.

“You want to hear my story?” Panther Kilglow asked.

“Uh-huh.” Jian Wuji nodded.

As Panther Kiguang looked at Jian Wuji’s serious expression, a warm current suddenly surged in his heart.

It had been a long time since he’d had a good conversation, with someone.

“Back in the day, I ……”

He began to recount how he had climbed up from an obscure little man to the position of the Black Dragon Regiment’s master step by step.

“My opponent, who came from a prestigious family, with a distinguished family lineage, he did whatever he could to get the position of regiment master, and used all kinds of despicable means.” Leopard Kiguang said, “But I, didn’t give up, with my own strength, I defeated him step by step, and in the end, sat on the position of regiment master.”

“You are truly a powerful person.” Jian Wuji heartily exclaimed.

“I just, I worked harder and harder than he did.” Panther Kilgore said.

“Not only do you work hard, but also, you are very talented.” Jian Wuji said, “Otherwise, it would be impossible for you to become the Black Dragon Regiment Master at such an early age.”

Panther Kiguang’s heart warmed at his words.

It had been a long time since he had heard, such a compliment.

“Tell me more, about your previous stories.” Jian Wuji said.

“Good.”

Panther Kilglow nodded and continued to recount, his glorious past deeds.

He spoke with a fluttering brow, and Jian Wuji listened with rapt attention.

Without realizing it, a long time had passed.

“We should get back.” Panther Kilglow said.

“Good.”

Jian Wu Ji nodded, and the two of them got up, leaving the restaurant.

“You go back and rest, I’ll keep watch here.” Jian Wuji said.

“No, I’ll keep watch with you.” Panther Kilglow said.

“You ……”

“I’m fine.” Leopard Kilglow interrupted Jian Wuji, “I want to, to spend more time with you.”

Jian Wuji looked at Leopard Kiguang’s sincere eyes, and in his heart, a warm current suddenly surged.

“Good.”

He nodded, and the two of them stood side by side in the courtyard, looking up at the stars in the night sky.

“Have you ever thought about what you’re going to do, afterward?” Panther Kilglow asked.

“Me?” Jian Wuji froze, then smiled bitterly, “I don’t know, what I’m going to do, in the future ……”

He never thought about what he was going to do, afterward.

All he knew was that he was, for now, going to protect Panther Kilglow.

“Have you ever thought about leaving the Holy Sect?” Leopard Kiguang asked.

“Leave the Sacred Sect?” Jian Wuji shook his head, “Why would I want to leave the Holy Sect?”

“Because, the Holy Sect, is no longer the Holy Sect of old.” Leopard Kiguang said, “The current Holy Cult is full of darkness and corruption, and you will only be harmed if you stay here.”

“I’m not afraid.” Jian Wuji said firmly, “I believe that the Holy Sect, one day, will return to the light.”

“You are such a naive child.” Panther Kikuang laughed bitterly.

“Perhaps.” Jian Wuji smiled faintly and did not say anything more.

……

Early the next morning, Panther Kilgwang awoke to find himself lying in bed, covered with a thick quilt.

“How did I …… I ……”

He looked around and realized that Jian Wuji was standing by the window, looking out the window.
