514: Chapter 514 A Friend Who Would Go to Any lengths for You

"The thing is... the problem is, we don't even know where that beggar is."

Qin Wushang interrupted her with a helpless look.

"Even if you call your Father over, if we can't find the person, it's useless for us."

He really wanted to see how strong the old beggar was—someone even Mo Qianrao was no match for—and he also wanted to see how strong this girl's Father was...

But when it's uncertain who is stronger, picking a fight recklessly and losing would be a lot of trouble.

Therefore, he still couldn't call for anyone, and there was no need to provoke an old beggar who had nothing to do with them.

"It's fine!"

Yao Shinian blinked, her tone firm.

"My Father has a Compass; he can accurately find the person he's looking for."

As she held her pig-slaughtering knife and spoke of her Father, her small face carried a natural sense of admiration.

"Every time the Uncles go out to drive pigs and get lost and can't find their way back, it's Father who uses that Compass to bring them back."

She was still unwilling to let it go.

If she just let the old beggar run away like this, and people back in the village found out she was scammed of her Immortal Crystals without getting even...

That would be so embarrassing!

"You still have the grand competition right now; that is the most important thing."

"Don't delay your own big affairs because of small matters."

Lin Ziyao understood and spoke up immediately.

It was naturally good to recruit a strong person as an ally.

But if they deliberately took advantage of Yao Shinian and the people behind her found out...

When something actually happened, those people might not be willing to help.

"That's true!"

Yao Shinian thought about it and nodded.

"I still have two more matches to fight. After those two matches, it'll likely be over."

"We'll see then."

She wasn't stupid.

She knew clearly that if she won one more match, she would be in the top four showdown, facing Qin Wushang.

To be honest, she didn't have much confidence that she could defeat him.

"Hmph!"

"Don't overthink it; you won't have the chance."

Lin Ziyao snorted coldly, pulling Qin Wushang's hand with her chin slightly raised, looking a bit smug.

"You will soon experience Brother Wushang's power."

"Your journey will stop because of him."

"That's not necessarily true..."

Yao Shinian hugged the pig-slaughtering knife tightly, a flash of stubbornness in her round eyes as she retorted.

"I can fight quite well too."

"If I can use the Ninth Style of the Butcher Knife Technique my Father taught me, I still have a chance."

"Is your Butcher Knife Technique really that strong?"

Lin Ziyao curled her lip disdainfully.

"Is it as strong as the Divine Ability of the Supreme Double Pupils?"

"Can it break through the Divine Ability of the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo?"

In her eyes, the champion of this grand competition would inevitably be Qin Wushang.

"You've already seen the Butcher Knife Technique."

Yao Shinian looked at her, her tone peaceful.

"That was only the Eighth Style, an Eighth Style I haven't mastered, which is why it injured you so heavily."

She paused, and her gaze suddenly became deep.

"But the Ninth Style is different."

"It relies on feeling; if I feel I can use it, then I can."

She hugged the pig-slaughtering knife in her arms tightly, and a terrifying Saber Intent suddenly surged out.

"That strike dares to make the heavens and earth change color and all living beings kowtow."

"It's a very strong strike!"

As her voice fell, her entire Aura changed.

Those round eyes were no longer those of an innocent girl next door, but were like two unsheathed sabers.

Upon seeing this, the three of them seemed to see a vision.

A peerless expert holding a pig-slaughtering knife stood proudly between heaven and earth; wherever the blade pointed, all living beings bowed their heads.

"Stop bragging, will you!"

"You can't even use the Eighth Style, yet you say you can use the Ninth? How can such a thing be possible!"

Lin Ziyao spoke up to refute her, not believing it.

This was too ridiculous!

How could anyone practicing the saber be able to do the later styles without knowing the ones before?

In any case, she had never seen it.

"But... Little Pervert, I always feel like her eyes are telling me she's speaking the truth,"

Ye Hongfu said.

Those round eyes were watery and looked very innocent, not like she was lying.

"She has no reason to lie,"

Qin Wushang remarked.

Although it sounded far-fetched, he still felt that Yao Shinian was telling the truth.

"Regardless, let's have a match and just give it our all."

"However, what they said is indeed correct."

"Your journey will stop at me."

"In the same Realm, I am invincible."

Qin Wushang said these words casually, and that domineering Aura that looked down on everything instantly spread out, shocking the three women on the spot.

An invincible Dao Heart, an invincible Aura!

This was him!

"Mhm."

"We'll spar; I also want to see if you have the power to kill the pig my family raised."

"I'll take you to the Wuyou Realm to slaughter pigs then."

"By the way... I'm going to follow you. Big Sister said that if I follow you, I won't lose out."

Yao Shinian said as she looked at Qin Wushang.

This was her real reason for coming.

With no Immortal Crystals, she had nowhere to go, and Mo Qianrao had told her to follow Qin Wushang.

So she came over.

"Why follow me?"

"I can give you some Immortal Crystals."

As Qin Wushang spoke, a pile of Immortal Crystals appeared with a flip of his hand.

But Ye Hongfu stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

"Junior Brother, if you give her Immortal Crystals, what if she gets scammed again?"

"Since she's been entrusted to you, then just take a bit of care of her."

Ye Hongfu winked at Qin Wushang.

He naturally understood the meaning behind those words.

It was to keep this girl—who looked innocent and simple on the surface but lonely deep down—by his side.

When the grand competition ended, if those Noble Family experts really decided to take action, he would have more helpers.

"Miss Yao, there are some things I must make clear to you."

Qin Wushang looked at her, his tone becoming serious.

"Following me is very troublesome."

"Many people in this world want me dead. If you follow me, you'll be standing on the opposite side of them."

"For this reason, you'd better think it through."

He spoke truthfully.

When making friends, the main thing was honesty.

By clarifying the situation, if anything really happened later, Yao Shinian's Father wouldn't be able to blame him.

It would save him from being accused of scheming against Yao Shinian.

However, after Yao Shinian finished listening, her eyes widened, and she had an expression as if this were no big deal.

In her understanding of the world, it really wasn't a big deal.

"Then I'll just help you beat them to death."

She spoke very casually, like two children playing house.

She didn't realize at all that this might involve life and death, or perhaps she simply didn't care.

"Father said that when making friends, one must be loyal."

The pig-slaughtering knife she held in her arms shook as she looked seriously at Qin Wushang.

"I'll help you beat them to death, and you help me beat that damned scammer to death. This is called stabbing one's own sides for a friend."

Qin Wushang's brow furrowed.

Stabbing one's own sides?

If he really helped her seek revenge on some scammer, then I'm afraid it wouldn't be a matter of stabbing his own sides...

He wouldn't even have a place to die.

"Friend..."

Qin Wushang looked at her and asked.

"You really consider us friends?"

Yao Shinian nodded.

She then turned to look at Lin Ziyao and Ye Hongfu, her round eyes carrying a natural sense of trust.

"Father said a friend's friend is a friend."

She said it as a matter of course, without a hint of hesitation.

"Since they are your friends, then they are Yao Shinian's friends."

She patted the pig-slaughtering knife in her arms and added:

"Don't worry, Father said that by being friends with me, Yao Shinian, you won't lose out."

"Friends... no friendship without a fight? It sounds like quite an interesting thing."

Lin Ziyao smiled calmly.

In truth, she didn't feel any hatred toward Yao Shinian.

A loss was a loss; she accepted it.

However, it was also true that she wasn't satisfied; if they fought again, she might be able to win.

"Since you've come, then as a friend, I think we need to host you."

Qin Wushang looked at her, his tone softening.

"Do you want to eat something?"

By this time, Qin Yutian and the others must have recovered from their injuries; it would be nice to go out and have a good meal to recuperate.

"I'll eat!"

Yao Shinian's eyes suddenly lit up like two ignited stars.

"If it's that kind of meat Big Sister gave me to eat, that would be best!"

She hugged her pig-slaughtering knife, her small face full of anticipation, and a bit of drool almost leaked from the corner of her mouth.

She paused for a moment and then seemed to remember something, adding a bit bashfully.

"By the way, in the village, they all call me a foodie, and Father also always says I eat a lot."

She lowered her head, habitually rubbing her toe against the ground as if feeling a bit of guilt for having such a large appetite.

"But if you're treating me, I can eat a little less."

She raised her head, her round eyes blinking.
