“What is that? Sifu, be careful! The Japnese is going to launch a sneak attack!”
Tai Yitan was very alert and issued a warning.
Whoosh!
But the movement speed of the robe was too fast. The golden rope reached Chen Xiaobei’s back just as Tai Yitan had finished talking.
“Shit!”
Chen Xiaobei’s heart contracted. He suddenly felt nervous.
The golden rope was not something to be underestimated. Now that he had just used his Ultimate Protective Puppet, if he was attacked again, it would be a matter of life and death!
In front of him was Tanaka Tsuyoshi, and behind him was the golden rope. Chen Xiaobei was now stuck between the rock and a hard place.
“That’s it…”
Luo Puti and Tai Yitan knew very well that if it were one of them in Chen Xiaobei’s shoes, they would not have been able to do anything about it.
A sudden surge of distress welled up in their hearts.
The enemy was just too strong! Chen Xiaobei was their only hope!
If something unexpected happened to Chen Xiaobei, the rest of them would only have to look forward to being buried here.
“No! I’m not with the Japanese!” Right at this critical juncture, Chen Xiaobei noticed the unsettling look on Tanaka Tsuyoshi’s face—as if he did not know anything about the sneak attack.
Whoosh!
The golden rope diverted right behind Chen Xiaobei, changed direction and rushed toward Tanka Tsuyoshi!
“What?!”
Tanaka Tsuyoshi shrieked; he did not expect this!
The golden rope seemed gradually enlarged before his eyes.
Whoosh…
Whoosh…
The golden rope wrapped itself around Tanaka Tsuyoshi’s body and in a swift whirl, constricted around him.
“What…What is happening? Chen Xiaobei! What have you done to me?” Tanaka Tsuyoshi’s body weakened and he fell onto the floor. “My strength… Why couldn’t he summon even a drop of strength? My True Qi is locked inside my Dantian! How could this be?”
“Xiaobei… What happened?” Luo Puti asked, shocked.
Chen Xiaobei explained, “This golden rope is a Spiritual Item. It works like a White Jade Dragon Box but better. It can bind even bigger enemies!”
“Oh! We were all so surprised! We didn’t know that Sifu has something like that!”
Wu Aofeng breathed a sigh of relief.
“No! It doesn’t belong to me!” Chen Xiaobei turned around slowly and said, “Someone helped me!”
“Who? Him?”
They all turned to look and saw the man who knelt at Chen Xiaobei’s feet begging to join Bei Xuan Faction walking toward them.
“Zhao Ritian!”
Chen Xiaobei’s eyes flashed. He put on a poker face but was secretly reassessing Zhao Ritian from head to toe.
Of course, he used more than the naked eye to assess him.
Ding!
[Cultivation: Pinnacle phase of Qi refining stage. Health: 20,000. Combat power: 20,000 (+3000)!]
At one sweep with the Netherspirit Battlescouter, he immediately received information about Zhao Ritian’s cultivation.
Earlier, Zhao Ritian had said that his cultivation was only Halfstep True Nirvana stage. It seemed like he was telling the truth.
But Chen Xiaobei was not easily fooled.
How was it possible for an elite with Halfstep True Nirvana stage possessed a Spiritual Item that was better than the White Jade Dragon Box?!
Chen Xiaobei then used his Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes to check whether Zhao Ritian had hidden more weapons on him!
But Chen Xiaobei did not find anything unusual!
Could it be that he was thinking too much?
Chen Xiaobei deliberated about what had happened: if Zhao Ritian had plotted against him, he would have used the golded rope to bind him when he had the chance to!
If Zhao Ritian had wanted to trick Chen Xiaobei to gain his trust. Then he would have used the other secret weapons he had on him to strike the rest of them after he had taken down Tanaka Tsuyoshi.
However, none of these two things happened!
He should not be judging a noble person unfairly, right? What if Zhao Ritian was truly sincere and he had misjudged him out of jealousy and suspicion? Wouldn’t that make him petty?
Having thought of that, Chen Xiaobei said magnanimously, “Thank you for your help.”
“It’s nothing Mr. Chen! I really want to join Bei Xuan Faction. There is no way that I will turn my back against someone in danger!”
Although Zhao Ritian had just saved lives, he was not pretentious but bowed respectfully.
“Are you really serious about joining Bei Xuan Faction?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“I’m very certain!” Zhao Ritian fell on both knees, looked eagerly at Chen Xiaobei and said, “Mr. Chen, please take me in!”
“There’s no need to rush! To become my disciple, there needs to be complete trust. There should be no hostility between us!” Chen Xiaobei spoke candidly. “I still have some doubts. If we could talk openly about it then there would be no barriers between us!”
Zhao Ritian nodded eagerly, looking expectant. “Please say, Mr. Chen! I will not hide anything from you!”
Chen Xiaobei asked, “What’s up with that golden rope of yours? If I’m right, that does not look like a low-tier Spiritual Item. Not even an ancient faction can get their hands on something like this! How did you attain it?”
“That was just a coincidence! When I went to Mount South to travel around, I stumbled upon an ancient cave and found this golden rope inside it!”
Zhao Ritian continued to say, “I also know that this thing might bring me trouble if I use it in front of everyone! I had not used this item since I got it. I dared not use it! Not even the people closest to me know of its existence!”
Chen Xiaobei nodded and said, “So, you used this precious item only to save me right?”
“Right!” Zhao Ritian said earnestly, “I truly want to be a part of the Bei Xuan Faction! Saving you is the right thing to do! Mr. Chen, if you don’t mind, I am willing to gift this Spiritual Item to you!”
Luo Puti, Tai Yitan and the rest of them were astonished.
Just as Chen Xiaobei had said, an ordinary ancient faction would not have been able to get their hands on this grade of Spiritual Item!
Zhao Ritian was willing to gift this golden rope to Chen Xiaobei and was definitely genuine sincerity!
After all, once a Spiritual Item recognized Chen Xiaobei as its owner, it would only what Chen Xiaobei’s hearts desires!
Zhao Ritian would lose complete control of it! There was no way he was faking it!
“Mmm, I have seen your sincerity!” Chen Xiaobei finally gave him the nod he had been hoping for and said, “As for that Spiritual Item, you keep it! That is what a Sifu should do!”
“Thank you so much, Mr. Chen…Oh…I mean thank you Sifu! Let me kowtow at you!”
Zhao Ritian was over the moon and kept kowtowing toward Chen Xiaobei.
Seeing this, Tai Yitan and the others congratulated Zhao Ritian, and accepted him as one of them
But no one had noticed the glimmer of deceit in the corner of Zhao Ritian’s eyes.
