Master Roshi had seen Bull Demon King's honest, guileless nature, and he even spoke of the past they had shared.
That was also a source of deep resentment for Bull Demon King. He had been exceptionally ugly since childhood, so almost no one around him liked him. Even when he was wandering about, child traffickers who tried to sell him could not find anyone willing to buy him.
Once, after failing to sell him, the traffickers had nearly beaten him to death. It was his master who saved him, and Master Roshi brought him into his sect.
But Master Roshi's sect was also a large one, and everyone in it was handsome. Even Master Roshi himself had looked far better in his youth than he did now.
So someone like Bull Demon King was bound to suffer rejection the moment he entered. Even Master Roshi's fellow disciples had opposed his decision to take Bull Demon King in.
Yet Master Roshi had defied all opposition and kept Bull Demon King by his side.
That was why, no matter how outrageous Master Roshi's actions had been over the years, Bull Demon King had forgiven him time and again.
And it was precisely because Master Roshi had seized on Bull Demon King's inferiority complex and gratitude toward his master that he had caused trouble again and again.
At that moment, after hearing him out, Uchiha Hiko merely shook his head slightly at Bull Demon King and said with a smile,
"Big Brother Niu, don't worry. I would never do anything that would harm myself."
"And while my character may not be all that great, I would never do something like tricking someone else."
"Since I've decided to introduce a companion to Master Roshi, then I'll definitely keep my word."
