Chapter 135

Lightning descended from the sky . The shadow fighting against Mo Ruyan exploded and died .

After that, Mu Yi threw two evil spirit slaying charms at Yao Kai the hungry ghost . He couldn’t dodge in time . After the first charm landed on him, Big Slave hit him with his ax .

The second evil spirit slaying charm crashed onto Uncle Cai and the others’ last enemy, a zombie . He also exploded .

“Thank you very much for saving our lives, Master,” said Uncle Cai .

After killing the last zombie, the armed escorts were too exhausted . Their weapons fell to the ground and they dropped to their knees, breathing heavily .

Even though Uncle Cai was exhausted and injured, he tried to calm down . He wanted to thank Mu Yi . He knew that without Mu Yi’s help, they would have all died .

Mo Ruyan was probably devastated . She had lost so many people . Mu Yi hadn’t attacked until just a few minutes ago but nobody thought that he was a coward or a weakling anymore . They knew that this battle was the most important one of their journey .

Celestial lightning had been falling from the sky . They wondered if Mu Yi had carried out those attacks . They had seen incredible warriors fight so their hearts were still pounding .

Luckily, Mu Yi had won the battle and he had helped them kill the last enemies . The lightning had crushed the zombie against whom Mo Ruyan had been fighting for a while . It was quite extraordinary .

“You’ve been poisoned . You need to be healed right away,” said Mu Yi to Uncle Cai .

He threw an exorcism charm at him . White lights flashed as the charm landed . Then, Mu Yi turned around and threw exorcism charms at the armed escorts . They all thanked him .

Finally, Mu Yi arrived in front of Mo Ruyan . She tried to remain calm but she couldn’t hide the fact that she was sad .

“Are you alright?” asked Mu Yi .

“If I were as strong as you, they wouldn’t have died, right?” said Mo Ruyan .

She raised her head and looked at Mu Yi . She had seen how strong Mu Yi was just now . He had killed her enemy easily . He had also quickly killed a zombie who had killed many of her colleagues . She was dumbfounded .

“Indeed,” said Mu Yi nodding .

He didn’t want to lie to her because she already knew it was the truth . So many people had died for nothing . If Mo Ruyan had been strong enough, if she had been able to kill all those black shadows, her armed escorts wouldn’t have died .

Things would be different if it was thought of from a different perspective . Mo Ruyan wasn’t weak . If she fought against ordinary bandits, she would have been able to protect her army . They had fought against supernatural creatures .

She had struggled just to survive herself . How could she protect her armed escorts? If she was as strong as Mu Yi, sure things would have been different, but that wasn’t the case .

There were no ifs in life . Mu Yi had also taken some big risks . He had nearly died too . Mo Ruyan’s question was irrelevant .

Life and death depended on various factors . Those people were armed escorts . They could have died at anytime . They knew that and were prepared . Mo Ruyan was their leader and she wasn’t an invincible warrior .

“Can you take me as a disciple?” asked Mo Ruyan .

She was staring at Mu Yi . Her eyes were shining . Mu Yi was strong so she admired him . Mu Yi didn’t respond . He knew that Mo Ruyan was in a position of power and felt weak . Mu Yi was her only hope .

If Mu Yi refused, what would she do? What if he nodded, then what? Would she regret it later? Actually, Mu Yi didn’t think he had anything to teach her .

He practiced Taoism . She practiced martial arts . Mu Yi cultivated his mind and she cultivated her body . Their paths were completely different .

Mo Ruyan was facing a major obstacle in terms of her martial art . She needed to find her own way . How could Mu Yi help her as a teacher?

Mu Yi was convinced that if she wasn’t shocked, she could have thought of those things herself . Mo Ruyan was facing difficulties at the moment . She couldn’t think clearly because something bad had happened .

“Master…” said Uncle Cai .

He had used the exorcism charm to expel the zombie’s poison from his body . He felt much better . He had also heard what Mo Ruyan had asked Mu Yi . He understood . Even though she looked cold and uncaring, she had a heart . Most of the time, she was sensitive .

Mu Yi didn’t let him finish . He raised his hand . He looked at Mo Ruyan

“You really want me to become your teacher?” He said .

“Yes,” she said wholeheartedly .

“In my Taoist School, we usually don’t accept disciples . If you join my Taoist school, you’ll have to isolate yourself from the outside world and leave the Far Ink Professional Organization . Are you ready to do that?”

Mo Ruyan hesitated after he said that . Mo Ruyan wanted to become stronger for the Far Ink Professional Organization . She wanted to protect the armed escorts, not isolate herself from the world . It would be pointless!
