C772 Past Comrades
"Father, this time, the Xie family is much stronger than before. This Ye Ling will surely become your bodyguard, he will surely become even stronger!"
Without noticing the hesitation on Xie Buxiang's face, Xie Dongyu kept nagging in his father's ear, saying that he wanted to find a suitable guard for his father. In fact, this was Xie Dongyu's own scheme.
After all, the lifespan of cultivators was extremely long. Xie Dongyu could confidently say that. If it was the day he became the patriarch, Ye Tian would still be very powerful. At that time, he wouldn't have to worry about so many troublesome matters by recruiting him as his guard.
In fact, as long as he could become the patriarch smoothly, Xie Dongyu would give Ye Tian an even higher position in the future.
In Xie Dongyu's heart, Ye Tian was the strongest existence he could rely on. He couldn't afford to lose such a person.
Xie Buxiang's mind was already in a mess. He was talking non-stop to his son. However, he wouldn't spend so much effort to do anything during normal days. His current efforts made Xie Buxiang feel very gratified.
Although Xie Dongyu was a playful man, if he could wake up and accept this Ye Ling, it would bring no harm to the entire Xie family.
"So noisy. Before I can say anything, I have already let you say all of this. Quickly bring Ye Ling to wash up. As for the rest of the work, I will arrange it bit by bit..."
Xie Buxiang propped himself up like a rubber ball and glared at Xie Dongyu. Although it was still the same as before, his attitude had changed a lot.
This time, Ye Tian won a chance with his gamble. He wanted to replace the Xie family with another step faster.
Xie Dongyu was even more excited than Ye Tian. This time, it was as if he had known Ye Tian for a long time. He crowded around Ye Tian and pulled him away. Only Xie Buxiang and Elder Lee were left on the scene.
"Chief, did you believe what the young master said about this stranger? You have to know that nothing can happen to the Xie family now!"
After Ye Tian left, Elder Lee's facial expression changed dramatically. He even kneeled in front of Xie Buxiang with a serious expression on his face.
"Master, I was injured by this kid. No one around you can defend you anymore. You have to take precautions against this!"
Even the severely injured and weak Fearless tried his best to crawl to Xie Buxiang's side and said. In his point of view, in the entire Xie family, even if Xie Buxiang's son, Xie Dongyu, was by his side, there was no way he wouldn't trust him.
"Now that things have become like this and you have become so weak, do you think that Ye Ling will be chased away by me?"
After the two men in front of him finished speaking, Xie Buxiang didn't show any unpleasant expression. Instead, he let out a sigh of helplessness.
Being so fearless and injured, Elder Lee still had to deal with everything around Xie Dongyu in case Xie Dongyu entered a situation where he couldn't turn back. Right now, Xie Buxiang could only do this.
"We have been working together for more than a hundred years, or even almost a thousand years. Could it be that you haven't completely trusted me for what I have done in the army?"
Xie Buxiang suddenly brought up the past, causing the two of them to fall into silence. They were no longer as excited as before. Both of them knew it. The reason why they were able to live their lives now was because of the hard work of these Xie family masters.
Elder Lee and Fearless were considered dead on the battlefield, but after being rescued by Xie Buxiang, they were treated very well in Lihua City. This alone was something that they couldn't repay.
In the past, Elder Lee and Fearless belonged to the same army. Their commander was precisely the Xie Buxiang in front of them.
Back then, even Xie Buxiang didn't have his current status. Although he was the commander of the army and was constantly fighting, Xie Buxiang was just like the soldiers under him. He might have been killed by the enemy at some point in time.
After the last nightmarish battle, the summit rewarded Xie Buxiang with Lihua City, and even eliminated all the threats in Lihua City, allowing the Xie family to take root here safely.
However, Xie Buxiang didn't forget Old Li and Fearless. He also mustered up his courage and brought Old Li and Fearless to Lihua City to enjoy the riches of the world.
The three of them had always been united in secret. Although on the surface, they were master and servant, they were comrades who had gone through life and death together in secret!
However, now that Fearless had suffered such serious injuries, Xie Buxiang had no way to resolve it. He even showed a helpless attitude towards this matter.
"Patriarch, you must know that the next war is just a matter that the higher-ups will have to carry out in a hot-headed manner. Now that the people around you are injured, if we go out again in the next period of time... Will you bring that Ye Ling whom you don't recognize? "
Elder Lee was very serious. He was very dissatisfied with the current situation. It seemed that if Ye Tian couldn't be severely punished because of this incident, he wouldn't be able to have a good sleep!
"From the moment the young master and Ye Ling met, I felt that something was wrong. It's just that I didn't notice anything wrong, but you mustn't be careless, patriarch!"
Elder Lee continued to speak earnestly. After all, in his opinion, Ye Tian had already become a threat to the Xie family, and he had no choice but to say this in the face of the upcoming battle that had yet to be announced.1
"Master, what Lee said is the truth. You should know how terrifying the Black Wind Mountain is. If there is no one around who is loyal to you, who can guarantee that we can avoid all the dangers in the Black Wind Mountain? Elder Lee said with a serious tone. Master, what Lee said is the truth. You should know how terrifying the Black Wind Mountain is. If there is no one around, who can guarantee that we can avoid all the dangers in the Black Wind Mountain?"
Fearless must have followed Elder Lee's lead. Of course, when he thought about their last battle, which had less than a tenth of their survival rate in the Black Wind Mountain, Fearless felt a tingling sensation in his spine.
With their current strength, Fearless knew that he would definitely die in the Black Wind Mountain. Furthermore, Xie Buxiang and Old Li wouldn't have much chance of surviving!
"Go and investigate this Ye Ling now. I even want to know about his birth. As for Fearless, you should rest in the side room for the next few days. Don't be impatient. We have to survive!"
After a moment of silence, Xie Buxiang walked out of the room with a solemn expression. He immediately assigned a task for Elder Lee and Fearless to carry out their respective tasks.
Xie Buxiang was also very curious about Ye Tian. He also wanted to know why this young man who suddenly appeared was so powerful.
In Xie Buxiang's mind, this Ye Tian who had changed his name to Ye Ling was closely related to the Black Wind Mountain that had been split up.
"Lee, you must do things quickly. I want to know everything about Ye Ling as soon as possible!"
Before Elder Lee left, Xie Buxiang kept reminding him that he could only do it fast and not delay any longer.
After saying this, Xie Buxiang turned around and left. Only Fearless was left. He was then sent back to the specially arranged room by a servant.
"Ye Ling, I will not let you go. I will make you pay double for everything that happened today in a short period of time!"
After entering the side room, only Fearless was left. At this moment, the veteran soldier's face once again revealed a terrifying ferociousness. Even without the influence of the Embroidered Spring Sabre, it gave people the feeling of a malicious spirit appearing!
