97 Anti-tracking!

Ning Biluo stood up, but his legs were trembling. Apparently, he had reached the limits of his strength. He was supporting his body with just willpower. It seemed that taking a single step would cause him to fall down. He was truly a tough guy! Ye Xiao stepped forward and held his arm. He wouldn't want to see a tough guy embarrassed. Not even in front of his own eyes. He spoke blandly, "Don't push yourself. It will be a big joke if you let yourself fall and die because of it. Including this time, I have saved your ass twice already. I don't want to learn that I have saved a dead man!" Ning Biluo raised his head as his eyes became sharp, "You? It's you?!" "Hush! Don't you feel tired shouting that loudly? Do you really think that you are at the peak of your health? Do you really want to make everyone know of your location?!" Ye Xiao pointed his finger upwards. Ning Biluo stopped talking, yet his face showed that he was thrilled. [My savior!] He had been hunted and nearly died that time. Ye Xiao was the one who saved his life! Nobody else knew about it, so Ning Biluo was sure that Ye Xiao was his savior when he hear what Ye Xiao said! Ye Xiao took out a Pei-Yuan Dan Bead and put it into Ning Biluo's mouth right away. Ning Biluo was a bit annoyed being fed forcibly, yet Ye Xiao was his savior who had saved him twice, so he didn't resist. When the dan bead went into his mouth, he felt a stream of hot qi suddenly scatter inside his mouth and then rush into his belly. After that, the hot qi spread around his Jing and Mai. Suddenly, he felt his weak body became indescribably comfortable. His dantian had been empty, yet now as the hot qi kept running into it, it produced some energy. And then the disengaged spiritual qi in his dantian started to gather together. His whole body had regained energy and vigor in a matter of seconds. Ning Biluo was spirited and said, "What is it? It is actually so wonderful." Ye Xiao spoke blandly, "Nothing special. Just a supreme dan bead!" Ning Biluo was shocked again. He stopped talking. [He has saved me twice. And now he has given me the precious supreme dan bead! I continue to owe him more and more. Considering the return...] Ning Biluo thought, [His cultivation capability must be enormous. He is a least stronger than Xiu of the Heavens. He made the girl leave by only telling her his name. He is at least in a level that is higher than the limit of this world... What can I possibly give him in return? Things I have will only embarrass me if I take them out!] Ye Xiao held Ning Biluo and they slowly headed to the city. When they were walking, the Pei-Yuan Dan Bead continued operating. Ning Biluo's body started to operate his cultivation automatically. He had already recovered half of his strength. It was not enough for him to fight yet, but it was enough to let him move freely. Ye Xiao naturally stopped holding him. Such heavy rain was truly rare. It didn't let off at all. It rained cats and dogs on the whole world. They made sure that it was safe around them and then took a break in an abandoned shed. Ning Biluo was exhausted and Ye Xiao had experienced astonishment. "Thanks." Ning Biluo rested for a while and then stood up again. He didn't seem to like sitting. As long as he was able to, he would stand, "I am not a man who is good at saying sweet words. Anyway, if there is anything you need me for, just give me a word. I will do whatever I am capable of for you." Ye Xiao smiled and looked at him without saying a word. Ning Biluo was annoyed, "Are you looking down upon me? Are you thinking that you won't have anything that a man like me can help with?" Ye Xiao smiled, "No. I am just curious since you are exhausted and you have time to rest now, why aren't you sitting down?" Ning Biluo was quiet for a while and then spoke, "Do you think I don't want to rest. I am an assassin. An assassin has no comfortable life. As long as I am still standing, I can stay alert. Once I sit down... and get used to it, laziness will keep me down forever. Even if I can resist the laziness and stand up again, it won't be the same! I shall just give up 'sitting' and get used to standing. That's all." Ye Xiao nodded, "That's true. That's reasonable. You are truly the No. 1 assassin in the Land of Han-Yang!" He stopped and then continued, "However, I don't have anything you can help me with. I am just being honest." He stood up and spoke blandly, "Now that you are fine, and you have enough energy to defend yourself, I think I should better be off now." Ning Biluo wouldn't have thought that in the raining night, someone actually saved him and asked nothing for return. He was surprised, "You... You saved me for nothing? Really?" Ye Xiao became silent for a while and then spoke with his back to him, "At the beginning, I had a purpose. But... You said that you wouldn't serve anybody... So I don't want to push you. Besides... It is never a bad thing to have another friend in the martial world. You don't need to bear it in mind." Right before he finished talking, he had disappeared in the heavy rain. He had carried the thought of recruiting Ning Biluo. But as he said, Ning Biluo had shown his attitude that he didn't want to serve anybody. It wouldn't be helpful for Ye Xiao to force him. It would break his faith in Ye Xiao if he were to push him around as his savior. It was impossible for him to do so! Moreover... He knew that he was really too weak at the moment. If Ning Biluo found out his true status and his true strength, it would be too embarrassing for him. Currently, no one in the House of Ye was a match for Ning Biluo. Although Ye Xiao believed that Ning Biluo wasn't an ungrateful guy, he knew that they would feel very uncomfortable if Ning Biluo found out the truth. Ye Xiao was a carefree guy, so he decided against recruiting him upon pondering deeply. He couldn't recruit Ning Biluo anyway, so he decided to just leave and let Ning Biluo remember him. Ning Biluo watched Ye Xiao leaving. He wanted to say something, yet he didn't. He could only stare blankly. "At the beginning, I had a purpose. But... You said that you wouldn't serve anybody... So I don't want to push you." What Ye Xiao had said made Ning Biluo thrilled. "What he wanted, was to recruit me..." "Yet he gave up after he heard what I said to Xiu of the Heavens. And he just left. He didn't even say anything about what he wanted... Apparently, he is a man with extreme pride!" "He didn't want me to struggle in difficulty, and he didn't want to be embarrassed too. So he just went away and left everything behind." Ning Biluo was thinking. "But I am not an ungrateful man, am I?" "However... Do I really want to be his underling? Isn't it against my will to serve him?" Ning Biluo was collecting his thoughts but couldn't find any answers. He eventually shook his head. [I can't resist my will. I can't be your servant. But I will offer my help anytime you need me!] He then rushed into the rain like a speedy arrow. He was heading in the same direction as Ye Xiao. He was at the Grandmaster Levels of the Sky Origin Stage. In the Land of Han-Yang, he was one of the most powerful men. Although he only recovered half of his strength, he was still much stronger than Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao wasn't in hurry when he was heading back to the city, and he wasn't in his best condition, so he didn't use the One Laughter in Skyline or Lunisolar Shadow. He wasn't moving very fast. That's why Ning Biluo could easily sense his trace before he arrived at the city. Ning Biluo was surprised. In fact, he was shocked. And then he thought that Ye Xiao must have known that he would follow up... So Ye Xiao intended to let him catch up. Ning Biluo was convinced that Ye Xiao was much stronger than him. Even in his best condition, he would never be a match for Ye Xiao. Besides, he was hurt at the moment! However, Ye Xiao hadn't turned his back at all. The next moment, something happened which surprised Ning Biluo more. When Ye Xiao was about to get into the Chen-Xing City, he actually took a breath before he leaped over the tall and huge wall. The rain was hitting Ning Biluo's face. He was astonished. He really couldn't understand it. What Ye Xiao had shown had really confused him. [He actually took a breath before he jumped over the wall?! It was nothing but a wall. Yet he actually needed to take a breath? That... That was even worse than me! No. It's so much worse than me... What is going on? Maybe he is hiding his capability, but who is he hiding from?] [If he isn't hiding anything... What gave him guts to save me from the grasp of Xiu of the Heavens?] Ning Biluo was confused. And then he recalled the first time Ye Xiao had saved him. That day, he was hunted by the men of the Boundless Lord. He was wounded, and he had to operate a lot of healing martial arts to cure himself. He was trying to leave secretly after he got through the fight, yet his enemies found him... ...
