Will

Guan Yue snapped out of her daze, her expression complex, and slowly approached Shen Yi, saying with a guilty look:

"Xiao Yi, I'm so sorry, I've dragged you into this."

"It's nothing, thank you for speaking up for us earlier, we'll be going now."

Shen Yi glanced at her, said nothing more, and called Shen Kun to pick up their things and prepare to go down the mountain to go home.

At this point, it is not appropriate for them to remain on Black Mountain.

We must go back and make preparations.

Seeing this, Guan Yue followed closely behind.

After thinking for a long time, she spoke cautiously, "Xiao Yi, Wang Tieming and Li Erxi's gang will definitely make things difficult for you later. The more people there are, the more strength we'll have. How about I go and help you?"

They noticed the other person's gaze sweeping over them.

Guan Yue quickly replied, "Don't worry! I won't be a burden to you. Also, I know a little about your nighttime hunts of lantern ghosts... I can help!"

"No one in the village knows that I have already mastered the Three Styles of the Wild Bull, which will make things much easier for you."

"Furthermore, I'm at the third level of the Qi and Blood Realm, so dealing with Li Erxi and his group is no problem at all!"

Upon hearing this...

Shen Kun and Shen Yuan exchanged surprised glances.

The villagers all said she was just a promiscuous widow who made a living by flaunting her charms.

I never expected Guan Yue to have such strong abilities.

They instinctively looked at their eldest brother.

Shen Yi had no intention of hiring anyone.

If there are too many people, some of whom may harbor ulterior motives, it will inevitably cause him trouble.

No one is willing to be subservient to others.

This has never changed from ancient times to the present.

Currently, he can only trust his younger brother Shen Kun and his younger sister Shen Yuan.

Not to mention, the entire Black Mountain Village never offered a helping hand when the three siblings faced life and death.

This made Shen Yi even more dislikeful of the people in this village.

However, if he can ascertain the loyalty of others to him, he doesn't mind bringing them under his command.

Under Guan Yue's hopeful gaze, Shen Yi finally spoke, saying:

"If you can put yourself in my shoes and obey my orders unconditionally, I might consider it."

Guan Yue was taken aback upon hearing this.

She looked closely at Shen Yi's face and realized that he wasn't joking.

If so, would she have to obey orders like warming the bed or serving the emperor?

"I...I'll think about it some more."

Guan Yue gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, looking very hesitant.

"what ever."

Not long after.

The four of them had already returned to the west side of Heishan Village and could see their own courtyard in the distance.

Several figures were standing at the entrance of the Shen family's residence.

Shen Yisheng became wary.

The three siblings slowed their pace.

Soon, he discovered that the person standing at his door was none other than Huang Dahu, the village chief's youngest son.

What is this kid doing bringing people to his house?

I thought it was Wang Tieming and his gang.

However, Shen Yi did not let his guard down and was about to ask a question.

Unexpectedly, Huang Dahu's gaze happened to fall on them and he spotted them.

His chubby face immediately broke into a smile, and his tall, muscular body rushed towards him, shouting:

"Shen Yi, you're finally back!"

Shen Yi: "What's the matter?"

"It's all because of what you did today, you scared off Wang Tieming and his gang! Hahaha, Shen Yi, do you know how gratified I was to hear this news?"

"Wang Tieming and his gang have been doing all sorts of bad things in secret; they should have been taught a lesson long ago."

Huang Dahu patted his chest. "Don't worry, we're here. We'll support you and we definitely won't let you fight alone against Wang Tieming and his gang!"

He looked around and then said, "Here's what we'll do: I'll have my brothers move your things to our place, and that'll make sure Wang Tieming won't dare cause you any trouble!"

"No need, we're fine here." Shen Yi smiled, showing no intention of letting them into the courtyard.

"This won't do!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Dahu looked anxious and said, "Wang Tieming is ruthless and vindictive. If you stay here, he definitely won't let you go."

"There's no need for you all to worry about that. Please go back now."

Shen Yi smiled faintly.

Since he chose to stay, he must have had enough confidence.

A skinny boy behind Huang Dahu tugged at his arm and whispered, "Dahu, why don't we go back? Wang Tieming is not someone to mess with."

Huang Dahu's brows furrowed immediately.

He looked at the skinny boy and said, "Ah Hai, if you're so afraid of Wang Tieming, why did you come with me?"

"We're all because...because...we're good brothers."

Liu Hai's eyes sparkled.

They and Huang Dahu were childhood friends, which is why they came to visit him today.

They would definitely not want to confront Wang Tieming because of Shen Yi.

They didn't want to get involved in other things; they just wanted to live a peaceful life in the village.

Although they united more than 600 people to deal with Wang Tieming, it was a last resort, done for the sake of everyone's interests.

As for the Shen Yi family's situation, it was all because they provoked Wang Tieming themselves.

Huang Dahu shouted excitedly:

"Ah Niu and the others were killed by Wang Tieming! Have you forgotten?"

"We didn't see it..."

Liu Hai muttered, "Besides, Ah Niu and the others are already dead. What's the use of saying all this? The dead can't be brought back to life. We still have to live our lives."

"You, you..."

Huang Dahu was so angry that his voice choked.

He glanced at his playmates behind him; they were all looking down and silent. He immediately took a deep breath.

"Okay, that's what you all think, right? Let's go then."

"Are we really leaving?"

"Walk!"

Seeing Huang Dahu roar angrily, everyone was startled and turned to run back.

Huang Dahu stood there helplessly, then turned to look at Shen Yi and said:

"Shen Yi, wait for me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran towards his own home.

"Brother, what's going on here?"

Shen Kun looked at this absurd farce and scratched his head. "Are they really that divided?"

"With more people, there are more ideas."

Shen Yi spoke calmly.

"Let's go back, I have some things to do."

"Big brother, we're here to help you!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Kun and Shen Yuan's eyes immediately lit up, and they said excitedly.

The three siblings pushed open the door and entered the house.

......

At this time.

Guan Yue sat on a stone bench in her own yard, her face contorted with complex emotions, Shen Yi's words still ringing in her ears.

"That child probably wouldn't want me to warm his bed, he's still so young..."

"No, it's not that young anymore. Many people in the village get married at sixteen."

Wait, what am I thinking about this for?

Guan Yue quickly shook her head, trying to shake the thoughts out of her mind.

Suddenly, she recalled the day the Cao brothers came to visit, when Shen Yi had spoken a caring remark to her.

Guan Yue felt a touch of emotion.

Even Shen Yi was unaware that his casual question had been interpreted in this way by the other party.

"Also, how did he manage to reach the third level of the Qi and Blood Realm so quickly...?"

Guan Yue's gaze lingered on the three blood lines marked on the stone disc.

A moment later, she gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind, turned around and went back into the house to get a bag.

He resolutely pushed open the door and walked out.
