Ye Guyi's lips moved, wanting to refute, but found that she had nothing to say.
After all, what he said was true.
If she and Ordinary Alliance were really capable of fighting against the Xishui Alliance, they wouldn't be running away in such embarrassment like now.
Even the huge Ordinary Alliance is unable to withstand the angry Xishui Alliance at this moment... If Shangguan Wei'er hadn't been backed by the Imperial Family's background, I'm afraid Mingdu would have been removed from the list with the full force of the Xishui Alliance.
"You can quickly improve your cultivation by killing Evil Soul Master. The characteristics of Holy Angel Martial Soul allow you to gain additional growth when you purify Evil. You should know this best."
Lu Ren's hand was still stretched out in front of her and did not take it back.
"Let's join forces and deal with Evil Soul Master together. Killing Evil Soul Master will not only be good for me, but your cultivation will also be improved quickly. It's a win-win situation for both of us."
After speaking, he paused, and the smile on his lips deepened a little.
"How is it?"
Ye Guyi looked at the hand reaching out to him and was silent for a long time.
She really wanted to believe the person in front of her.
The life energy he showed just now, that kind of pure warmth that makes people want to cry, is definitely not something Evil Soul Master can fake.
And he was right, if he was really Evil Soul Master, there would be no need to talk so much nonsense to her, he could just kill her or capture her and collect the reward.
But she didn't dare.
I have been hiding in Tibet these days, living in fear and suffering every day.
She didn't dare to trust anyone, didn't dare to ask anyone for help, and didn't even dare to stay in one place for too long.
Like a cub hunted by a hunter, she learns to view everyone as a potential enemy.
"Why should I believe you?"
Ye Guyi's voice was very soft, with a hint of trembling.
Her beautiful eyes are full of caution and alert, like a kitten that cautiously pokes its head out in a strange environment. It only dares to hide in a safe corner to explore the surroundings, and is ready to retreat at any time.
Lu Ren looked at her appearance and couldn't help but laugh.
"I will find a way to make you believe me."
He did not forcefully convince her, but did one thing first.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Lu Ren, I am..."
"I'm not interested in hearing about your self-introduction."
Ye Guyi interrupted him, and her eyes began to look left and right, scanning the forks on both sides of the alley and the outline of the building above her head.
She is looking for an escape route.
Cursed Speech has been lifted and the self-destruction has been sealed, but as long as there is still a chance, she does not want to leave her fate in the hands of others.
Lu Ren sighed.
Then he turned his head and looked at Ji Juechen, who had been standing next to him as a sculpture.
"Old Ji, tell me, how did you adopt a stray kitten back to your house and gain its trust?"
Ji Juechen was stunned by this sudden question.
He opened his mouth and frowned tightly, as if he was thinking about a problem that was a hundred times more difficult than killing Soul Saint.
After a long time, he answered honestly:
"I don't have pets."
Lu Ren nodded, as if he had expected this answer.
He turned back, looked at Ye Guyi, and began to ask and answer himself:
"If it were me, my first step would be to use food to induce it. If that doesn't work..."
He paused and looked around Ye Guyi.
"Then we can only forcefully take her home and slowly gain her trust."
Ye Guyi's face turned pale instantly.
She heard that these words were not meant for Ji Juechen, but for her.
There was no joking in those clear eyes, he was serious.
If she dares to run away, he will really take her home by force.
Ye Guyi turned around suddenly and rushed deeper into the alley.
Then she heard three words.
"Go to sleep."
His voice was not loud and his tone was calm, as if he was coaxing a child who refused to take a nap.
But the moment those three words fell into her ears, an irresistible wave of sleepiness came over her like a tide.
Her eyelids began to fight crazily, and her consciousness seemed to be gently pressed into the warm darkness by a gentle but irresistible hand.
Before her consciousness completely fell into darkness, one last thought flashed through her mind.
What kind of ability is this...
Ye Guyi's body fell forward softly.
The long golden hair drew a dazzling arc in the air, and then was firmly caught by a hand.
Lu Ren held her shoulders and gently lifted her onto his shoulders.
The blond hair hangs down from his shoulders, like a golden waterfall, swaying gently behind him.
He held down the crook of her leg with one hand to prevent her from slipping, and waved towards Ji Juechen with the other hand.
"Come on, let's go back and get this girl settled."
Ji Juechen stood there, watching the back of Lu Ren striding out of the alley carrying the unconscious Golden-Haired Girl.
The corners of his mouth twitched.
Why does he feel like... this guy is kidnapping a young girl?
"Why are you still standing there? Follow me."
The voice of Lu Ren came from the end of the alley.
Ji Juechen was silent for a moment, held Silver-White Long Sword in his hand, and followed him.
He watched Lu Ren carrying the unconscious Ye Guyi's body softly on Lu Ren's shoulders, with his dazzling blond hair hanging down, gently swaying with Lu Ren's steps, like a golden flag blown by the wind.
Ji Juechen lowered his voice and said:
"Isn't this... bad? If she wakes up, she will definitely not trust us even more."
There was a rare hesitation in his tone.
For Ji Juechen, there is no need to hesitate when it comes to problems that can be solved with a sword, but this matter is obviously not within the scope of what can be solved with a sword.
"If you don't trust someone, you have to protect the person first."
Lu Ren kept walking, walking as briskly as if he was not carrying a person, but a bundle of vegetables just bought from the vegetable market. His speed did not slow down at all, and he said as he walked:
"Mingdu is full of the Xishui Alliance people now. She is Four-Ring Soul Ancestor. Even if there is Holy Angel Martial Soul, she will be found out by Evil Soul Master sooner or later."
"First take it back to the yard and hide it. When she calms down, she will naturally understand that we mean no harm and I believe she will cooperate with us."
While they were talking, the two of them had passed through several quiet alleys and headed towards the courtyard where Nana and others were stationed.
Lu Ren was carrying Ye Guyi, and his body flexibly avoided the scattered pedestrians on the road.
His Spiritual Power is always spread within a range of tens of meters around him, like an invisible spider web, catching everything around him.
Any suspicious breath, any abnormal Soul Power fluctuations will be instantly amplified in this spiritual network and transmitted to his perception.
When we returned to the yard, Nana was guarding the door with several people.
When she saw Lu Ren walking back with Golden-Haired Girl on his shoulders, she was stunned for a moment.
Why does this look like Lu Ren is doing something bad?
It's like kidnapping a girl...
She quickly put her thoughts behind her and hurried forward to meet him.
"Master, this is..."
