Chapter 801: Supporters

"What...?" Yun Yao was slightly startled.

"I want to go and see," Zheng Yingxiong said again. "We'll see their people soon, right?"

"Hero younger brother... suppose... I mean suppose... if his purpose isn't what you imagined, what then?"

Zheng Yingxiong slowly raised the note in his hand and said seriously, "He could have not told me this, but he did. If this could be said easily, he absolutely wouldn't tell me in this way. I think he took a great risk to pass this information to me."

The crowd was hearing Zheng Yingxiong say so many words for almost the first time, just staring at him blankly.

"Moreover, this note never mentions himself from beginning to end," Zheng Yingxiong said. "I find it hard to believe that he would wait for me in that dark alley and eventually use this method to harm me."

Zheng Yingxiong remembered that Gu Yu had once said there were two paths in front of him: one was to return to Yu Cheng to help himself and Li Siwei escape, the other was to go to Dao Cheng to become a Ren Hou.

But now it seemed what he said wasn't entirely true; at that time, there should have been three paths in front of Gu Yu.

Besides becoming a Shengxiao in Dao Cheng, he could also become a Jidao here.

Perhaps after making a choice for a long time, he ultimately chose to become a Shengxiao. After all, Gu Yu from Yu Cheng had a deeper impression of Shengxiao; he had seen earth-level Shengxiao kill participants countless times, and the participants didn't even have a chance to fight back.

And Gu Yu's way of thinking wouldn't be much different from Zheng Yingxiong's, since they had similar experiences. They believed that where there are people, there is the Jianghu, so it's not just against Jidao, but rejecting all organizations.

All these prerequisites led Gu Yu not to choose to become a member of Jidao, which makes perfect sense when you think about it.

This was the first time Zheng Yingxiong didn't need to consider anyone's feelings and just thought based on his own ideas; he felt his deduction was very close to the truth.

And now, Gu Yu, who has become a Shengxiao, found that path impassable, so he pointed out the path he hadn't chosen back then to Zheng Yingxiong.

From this point of view, Zheng Yingxiong found it hard to see any malice in the note.

"I don't think it's good," Yun Yao said. "Little brother, some Jidao might kill people to disrupt other organizations from smoothly collecting Dao. This kind of organization doesn't sound like a proper one at all; I advise you to join Tian Tang Kou instead. Now many strong people are gathering at Tian Tang Kou. Although I'm no longer a member there, no matter how you look at it, Tian Tang Kou has a better chance of winning."

"Yun Yao..." Zhang Lvshi interrupted her. "Let him choose for himself."

"What...?"

"Using the information you know to speculate what might happen to others in the future isn't quite fair," Zhang Lvshi said. "He should have the right to choose for himself. Although he looks under ten years old, his memory should have been retained for a long time, so he should be able to be responsible for his actions."

After hearing this, Yun Yao's face flashed with a hint of sadness, and she turned to look at Tian Tian.

"Tian Tian, do you think so too?"

"Um." Tian Tian nodded. "We each can't choose our own origin, but we can choose our future. I respect Hero younger brother's ideas."

"Even if he might become an enemy later, are you okay with that?" Yun Yao asked with a sad gaze.

"No, it won't be like that," Tian Tian said. "I always believe that everyone here is working towards the same thing, although our processes are different, our endpoints are the same."

After hearing this, Yun Yao sighed, then nodded. "I just hope that all the participants here are safe and don't suffer anymore. We've all had enough suffering, yet there are Shengxiao and Jidao causing trouble... I really feel sad for all the dead teammates."

Tian Tian didn't know how to console Yun Yao, so she just held her hand and squeezed it.

"Everything is getting better," Zhang Lvshi said. "We're about to see Wen Qiaoyun, and then we'll have answers, right?"

"Um, I hope so." Yun Yao said, then turned to look at Zheng Yingxiong and said softly, "Hero younger brother, I'm sorry, you should have your own choice."

"Thank you, sister." Zheng Yingxiong said. "Don't worry, even if I become a Jidao, I won't become a different person."

"Um."

The four people packed up their moods and set off again, walking on the sticky ground for more than half an hour. When everyone's footprints turned blood red, they saw several figures slowly emerging from the distant street corner.

First, Lin Geng and a woman they'd never seen before, followed by Yan Zhichun and Jiang Ruoxue.

"Great, now that's good," Yun Yao said. "They're all together, so we've achieved all our goals at once."

"Yah! Xiao Yao!" Jiang Ruoxue waved her hand from afar upon seeing Yun Yao, like old friends reuniting after a long time.

But Yun Yao kept a straight face, obviously having a big opinion of her.

The two groups slowly approached and finally stood together.

"Lin Geng!" Zhang Lvshi and Tian Tian were the first to speak.

"Great," Lin Geng laughed. "Are you all okay?"

"You're the one asking us?" Zhang Lvshi pulled Lin Geng over with a worried face and examined her up and down. "It's really miraculous; you were right in front of me... Ah, never mind, as long as you're back."

Lin Geng exchanged a few pleasantries with Zhang Lvshi and Tian Tian, then turned to look at Zheng Yingxiong, whom she had met once before, and reached out to touch his head.

"Why did you bring this child out with you?"

"It's a long story; this child wants to join Jidao," Yun Yao said. "And we're here to welcome Wen Qiaoyun back."

These two short sentences made the four people in front frown, as if each sentence was unexpected.

After Yun Yao finished, she looked at the strange girl in front of her and asked, "This is Wen Qiaoyun, right?"

"You are...?" Wen Qiaoyun asked in return.

"We are your supporters," Yun Yao said. "Now we need to borrow your power to think of a way to escape from here together."

"Support me...?" Wen Qiaoyun cautiously looked at the people in front of her, feeling a strange sensation in her heart.

These people didn't look like bad people, but they had been scheming about her.

"Yes, we came this time precisely to take you back," Yun Yao said. "Although it's hard for you to fully believe us right now, I still hope you can give us a chance to cooperate."

After hearing this, Wen Qiaoyun looked over the girl in front of her again, feeling that she was extremely beautiful, with a face no bigger than a palm, like a star, and couldn't help but lower her guard a bit.

"Okay." She thought for a moment and nodded. "Even if you didn't say it, I was planning to go and see. I'm really curious about you all."
