Even though Brother Lee already knew that the disciples in front of him were from the Xin Sect, but he didn't show it. Just like Senior Cutie who had asked them something, Brother Lee also replied with a question.
Looking closely at this Brother Lee who was obviously from the Shen Sect, Senior Cutie nodded.
"Yes, I am from the Xin Sect's outer hall and they are my brothers."
Senior Cutie answered him without hiding the fact that they were from the outer hall since it was already a fact that could be known by just looking at the black badges on their chests.
'Who could have known that our Senior Brother also had a polite side to him.'
Zhao Luo whispered to Xiao Yu and Pi Hao while laughing at the way Senior Cutie was answering the disciple from the Shen Sect.
'Pop.'
A vein popped up on Senior Cutie's forehead as he cursed at Zhao Luo.
'I am doing this for your safety, you little bastards.'
Senior Cutie gave them a cold glance from the side of his eyes.
"These savages."
Ro Tang's loud voice entered everyone's ear as he commented on the light behavior of Zhao Luo and the others.
He thought that they were laughing at them but it was just a misinterpretation from his side.
"Did a dog just bark?"
Zhao Luo coldly replied as he stared at Ro Tang.
Even though there were two, level one 'I' bronze rank disciples, Zhao Luo wasn't worried since they had the advantage in number.
"Hmph."
Ro Tang growled as he took a step forward.
Anger could be seen burning in his eyes as he looked at Zhao Luo.
'They may be more than three but we can take care of them.'
Ro Tang thought as before he and Brother Lee believed there to be three of them but now looking at the bags, Zhao Luo and the others carried he guessed that there were four and the fruits they had collected would be a lot too.
But before he could move forward towards them,
"Who ordered you to move?"
The princess spoke. She was obviously angered by the aggressiveness that Ro Tang was displaying.
"It isn't yet the time to do this."
The princess slowly said to him but she didn't try to hide her comment since it was loud enough to be heard by Zhao Luo's group.
'So they are willing to attack us. What do they even want?'
Zhao Luo squinted his eyes as he tried to look at the princess, but then,
"Please forgive my Brother's rude behavior."
Brother Lee clasped his hands since he was going to deal with them, it was better to start without any problems.
'He just had to ruin it for me.'
Brother Lee looked at Ro Tang angrily.
Ro Tang shrugged in response since he couldn't care less about the deal.
"Same here."
Senior Cutie also clasped his hands while giving a short bow.
"We are indeed from the Shen Sect."
Brother Lee told them and looked up just to find Zhao Luo walking up.
'A level eight dares to butt in our conversation.'
Brother Lee looked at the handsome Zhao Luo who was standing right next to Senior Cutie now.
"I see. We are from the Xin Sect and you three are from the Shen Sect."
Zhao Luo repeated the two main pieces of information that had been exchanged between the two groups till now.
'Nod.'
Brother Lee nodded while Zhao Luo continued.
"Since we have introduced our sects and our ways to the ranges are in opposite directions, we will be saying our byes now."
Zhao Luo said without a drop of respect for the three since they were nothing more than a group who had been following them with who-knows-what kind of plan in their head.
'These stalkers.'
Zhao Luo thought as he glanced at the two one by one.
Brother Lee was caught off guard and he didn't know how to proceed.
'Is a battle our only choice now?'
He couldn't bring himself to propose the deal since it was so one-sided and looking at Zhao Luo's confidence while dealing with them, he was worried for the safety of the princess.
"Sigh."
A reluctant sound of someone's disappointment was heard by everyone.
From behind Ro Tang, the princess slowly stepped towards them.
"Wow."
Pi Hao exclaimed loudly while being awed by her beauty.
'Thud!'
Xiao Yu gently stuck Pi Hao's chest with his elbow to bring him out of it since it wasn't the time to be enchanted by a soon-to-be enemy.
"Sorry."
Pi Hao embarrassingly scratched the back of his head while looking at Xiao Yu.
The princess moved in front of Brother Lee and looked at Zhao Luo.
'He is handsome.'
'She is beautiful.'
The princess thoughts while Zhao Luo was also finished checking her out.
'I mean, a level nine '∆' black rank disciple.'
Zhao Luo wanted to smack himself for praising another woman when he already had a princess back at the Sect.
"You four only have one choice."
"Give us all the fruits you have gathered."
The princess calmly told them but her eyes were only on Zhao Luo.
"Otherwise?"
Zhao Luo asked with an evil grin as though he couldn't care less about what she would be saying next.
"You four will die. Even though it may cause a problem with the Xin Sect, later on, but..."
The princess coldly presented her threat and Ro Tang who was moving up opened his mouth while interrupting the princess.
"But dead man tell no tales. Nobody will find your corpses."
Ro Tang suddenly completed her sentence as he left her in shock.
'I was going to ease the deal by letting them keep half of the fruits but why did this dimwit have to ruin it?'
The princess was angered but she didn't bicker with Ro Tang, instead looked at Zhao Luo and looking forward to his reply.
"So if we decline, we will be killed. And nobody will find our corpses."
Zhao Luo looked down while following the words of the princess and Ro Tang.
'Is he scared?'
Looking at the handsome face of Zhao Luo going down as though he was sulking, the princess felt bad and opened her mouth.
Zhao Luo's handsomeness had captured a tiny portion of her heart.
"You don't have to worry, we can eas-"
"Hahahaha."
Zhao Luo laughed while interrupting the words of the princess.
"Indeed. Neither I nor my brothers have anything to worry about."
Zhao Luo coldly said to the princess as he moved up to them.
"Do you think we will oblige to tour deal?"
Zhao Luo shouted at her.
"Do you think you can take us down? Not to mention all of us?"
Zhao Luo glared at Ro Tang.
His steps were heavy and swift.
Brother Lee couldn't even move as he watched Zhao Luo making his way towards the princess.
"You are the shot caller, right?"
Zhao Luo who was standing in front of the princess questioned her even though it was clear that the two people tagging along with her may have been higher in rank but they were following her lead.
"You are quite bold."
The princess replied with an enchanting smile.
'Shwaa.'
"You..."
"Bastard..."
Ro Tang leaped at Zhao Luo with a sword in his hand.
"I will cripple you."
Ro Tang shouted as he swung his sword at Zhao Luo's left shoulder.
In an instant, Ifrit appeared in Zhao Luo as he took the crimson sword out of his storage.
"Reverse Burst Slash."
Bring his sword upwards from the upward motion of his lowered hand, Zhao Luo clashed with Ro Tang's sword without looking at him.
"Clang."
"Boom."
For some reason, under everyone's eyes, the one who was supposed to be pushed back, that is Zhao Luo stayed there without even looking at Ro Tang for a moment.
His eyes were still on the princess who was staring at Ro Tang who had fallen after being pushed back by four steps.
"Sit down Dog!"
Zhao Luo said to him without sparing him a glance.
