Chapter 0380 – Dangerous Game – Absolute Return

“Are you eating noodles again? Be careful of getting fat.” Jian Wuji’s voice suddenly rang in Bi Sian’s ears. Bi Sian’s chopsticks, stopped in mid-air.

In this world, only Jian Wuji, would say that he was, well, a picky eater.

He turned his head to look out the window, only to see Jian Wuji, standing across the street, smiling at him.

“What brings you here? I thought that you would be in your tavern, waiting for me.” Bithian asked.

“I have one, urgent matter to report to the Alliance Master.” Jian Wuji said.

“Then wouldn’t you just go directly to, the Alliance Master’s Hall?” Bithian asked.

“Without you to lead the way, I’m afraid I’ll get lost.” Jian Wuji said.

He knew that if he wanted to see Bai Zijiang, he would have to, go through layers of hurdles and also wait for Bai Zijiang’s summons. And with the Martial Arts Alliance, it was the same.

Therefore, Qin Xiajun and Bi Sian, were his, shortcut to enter the Alliance Master’s Hall.

“You’re, again, using me?” Bithian said helplessly.

“How come? I just want, for you to accompany me and go to meet the Alliance Lord together.” Jian Wuji said with a smile.

He knew that the reason why Jian Wuji had come to him was because, he didn’t want, to leave him alone, to face Bai Zijiang.

“What the hell are you trying to, again?” Bithan asked.

“This time, it’s not something bad.” Jian Wuji said.

“What is it?” Bithan asked.

“Later, when you see the Alliance Master, you’ll know.” Jian Wuji said.

“Fine.” Bithan said helplessly.

He put down his chopsticks, stood up, and said, “Let’s go.”

“Take your time to eat and go back afterward.” Jian Wuji said.

“Can I eat when you’re here?” Bithan said.

“You must eat! People who practice martial arts must eat to have strength, you know? Even if you wait for a whole day, even if the sky is falling, you must, first, finish your meal!” Jian Wuji said.

Bithan stood up and said loudly, “What, exactly, have you gotten yourself into?”

Jian Wuji and Bi Sian, arrived at the Alliance Master’s hall.

“Are you saying that the Martial Arts Alliance Master, is also going to attend, this meeting?” Bai Zijiang asked in surprise.

“Yes, Allied Lord.” Jian Wuji replied.

“Things, they’re getting more and more complicated.” Bai Zijiang said.

“You just take it as, one more, drinking buddy, won’t you?” Jian Wuji said with a smile.

“That drinking buddy, but Qin Boutian.” Bai Zijiang said helplessly.

He hated Jian Wuchen and he also hated Qin Botian.

“The three of us, we’re notorious for not seeing eye to eye with each other.”

Originally, it was just, between him and Jian Wuchen, a private meeting, but now, it had turned into, a meeting between the righteous and evil, the three giants.

Ever since he had succeeded as the head of the Righteous Alliance, the three of them, had never, ever, appeared in the same place.

“Is this all, what you planned?” Baek Zi Jiang asked.

“Of course not, I originally just wanted, for my father and you, to meet. But then, I changed my mind.” Jian Wuji said.

“Because you found that it was easier to convince the Martial Arts Alliance than the Righteous Alliance?” Bai Zijiang asked.

“This is only one aspect of the reason. More importantly, I suddenly feel that if we miss this opportunity, the three of us, may never have the chance to sit together, drink and chat again.” Jian Wuji said.

“!”

Bai Zijiang knew that Jian Wuji wasn’t lying.

“Why, must we meet?” Baek Zi Jiang asked.

“Because, I feel that if the three of us, could sit together, drink and chat, it would be a, well, meaningful thing to do.” Jian Wuji said.

Bai Zijiang suddenly realized that he had never thought of sitting with Jian Wuchen, and Qin Botian, drinking and chatting.

Because he had always believed that it was either you or me between them.

“You came all the way here specifically, just to, tell me about this?” Bai Zijiang asked.

“Of course not, I just feel that this matter, I should let you know.” Jian Wuji said.

“What if I don’t agree? What if I don’t want to, with that old man, meet?” Bai Zijiang asked.

“Then I will also, try my best to convince you.” Jian Wuji said.

“What do you want?” Bai Zijiang asked.

What he wanted was for Bi Sian to be able to surpass Jian Wuji, so that Jian Wuchen, would be impressed with him.

“I hope that you can, with my father, and the Martial Alliance, become friends.” Jian Wuji said.

Bithan was on the sidelines, listening in disbelief.

He really wanted to say, “Have you ever asked, Qin Xiajun and I, if we would like, to be friends with them?”

Yet, he didn’t have the courage, to say the words.

“Alright, I promise.” Bai Zijiang said.

“We, at that tavern, meet.”

Jian Wuji laughed happily and said, “Thank you, Alliance Master. You are so refreshing!”

Just as Jian Wuji turned around, ready to leave, Bai Zijiang suddenly asked, “What exactly are you doing this for?”

Jian Wuji turned his head to look at Bai Zijiang and said, “I just thought that the three of us, together, would be fun.”

Bithan mentally spat, “Interesting? I think it’s, thrilling!”

“I hope that this meeting, can, end successfully.” Jian Wuji said.

“Do you really think that it will go that well?” Bai Zijiang asked.

“Those people, they haven’t been, completely eradicated, have they?”

“Don’t worry, Alliance Master, I will protect, your safety.” Jian Wuji said.

“Why are you, so sure?” Bai Zijiang asked.

“Because, I alone, am able to, deal with them. Not to mention, this time, there’s you, and the Martial Arts Alliance, present.” Jian Wuji said with a smile.

The corners of Bai Zijiang’s mouth, rose slightly.

“My vision, it seems, is not bad.”

He was satisfied with the disciple he, himself, had produced.

“Then let’s, on that day, meet.” Jian Wuji said.

“Good.” Bai Zijiang nodded and said.

Jian Wuji saluted Bai Zijiang, then, turned around and left the great hall.

Bi Sian followed behind Jian Wuji and walked out.

“Are you really not worried?” Bithan asked.

“Why should I worry? Since the Alliance Master and the Martial Alliance, both agreed, then this matter, it has nothing to do with me.” Jian Wuji said rightfully.

“You are so, so irresponsible.” Bithan said helplessly.

“We, just do our own thing.” Jian Wuji said.

“We, too, have our own jungle.”

Bi Sian did not understand, at first, what Jian Wuji meant by these words.

But now, he seemed, somehow, to understand.

“What are you going to do, next?” Bithian asked.

“During the day, I’m going to accompany, and play with, the Eight Great Demon Dignitaries. At night, I’m going to cultivate. You don’t have to mind me, I’m having a great time!” Jian Wuji said.

“I envy you, having so many people, playing with you.” Bithan said.

“You have it too, you also have, what about the thirteen Orthodox Thirteen.” Jian Wuji said.

“!”

Bithan froze.

He had never thought of playing with Shodo XIII, with Shodo XIII.

“Let’s, then, see you next time.” Jian Wuji said.

“Good.” Bithan said with a nod.

Jian Wuji performed a lightweight skill, transforming into a residual shadow and disappearing from Bi Sian’s line of sight.

Bi Sian looked at the direction where Jian Wuji disappeared and said in his heart, “How on earth did he do that?”

It suddenly occurred to him that Sword Wuji was also, starting from the fact that he and the Eight Great Demon Sovereigns, looked at each other.

No, the Thirteen Langs of the Righteous Path were, at least, loyal to him. Sword Wuji, on the other hand, had to face, a much more complicated and tricky situation.

“Having decided, to learn from him, let’s, well, learn.”

“Today, we’re not going on a mission. Let’s go buy some wine, find a place with a nice view, and relax. By the way, which one of you, can dance?”

The thirteen members of the Shodo, all looked at Bithuan in surprise.

Bithan looked up at the sky and said, “Today’s weather, it’s so nice, it’s too boring to play alone.”
