"Where's Cao Tai?" Ding Ling asked. There was a hint of anger in her tone. Right now, she rarely showed any of her negative emotions. Therefore, once she felt any slight anger, everyone would immediately understand the importance of this matter.

Cao Tai disappeared. Startled Sparrow Master used a corpse to play with everyone, but during this period of time, no one noticed where the real Cao Tai went.

"Miss Ding, don't worry. Cao Tai is blind, he won't be able to run far by himself." The Taoist Qu comforted Ding Ling.

"Yes, yes. Uncle Qu is right." Ding Ling was trying hard to calm her emotions. Anger was useless in resolving the matter before her. Ever since that incident, Ding Ling swore to abandon all those useless emotions.

"Cao Tai isn't far," Ding Ling smiled and said. "Then I'll have to trouble everyone to make this trip again."

"We will definitely find him." The goatee solemnly patted his chest.

"Of course." Taoist Murong's voice was loud like a bell.

At this moment, in the building behind them.

Cao Tai was left in one room. At that time, the Startled Sparrow Master barged in and rescued him from his original room and brought him to the next room. There was still one of Cao Tai's trusted aides being locked up next door. Without further ado, Startled Sparrow Master strangled the trusted aide inside, then left Cao Tai in his room, covered him up with a blanket and ran out with his own subordinate's corpse on his back.

From the beginning, Startled Sparrow Master never thought he would be able to live. He was using his own life to buy time for Cao Tai.

Cao Tai was curled up in the corner of the room, his hands tenaciously digging for the blanket that was covering him. He couldn't see, but he could hear it, so he knew what had happened. He had been tricked by Ding Ling, and the girl who looked like a young, tender bird was actually a demon that could swallow him in one gulp. His subordinates had been sent to be cannon fodder, his eyes had been gouged out, and the only Startled Sparrow Master who was loyal to him had also left.

Everything he could lose, he had lost. Right now, Cao Tai only had his rotten life left. When Ding Ling's men find him again, he would lose his life as well.

He was still wearing the bamboo hat that the Startled Sparrow Master had left him on his head. That bamboo hat was able to calm one's mind, and it forcefully suppressed the despair and panic in Cao Tai's heart. However, his negative emotions were like a surging tide. Every time he suppressed a little bit, it would immediately surface again. Other than preventing the negative emotions from accumulating, this bamboo hat did not have any other use.

A large number of footsteps came from outside the room. A group of people were passing by, and were chatting outside the door about the Startled Sparrow Master.

Cao Tai pricked up his ears, listening intently.

"That guy is so miserable." A voice sounded.

"That's right, even his brain was knocked out by that big guy."

"That guy is also ruthless, killing so many of our brothers."

"Stop talking, hurry up and collect the dead bodies of our brothers."

They were here to clean up the corpses. Outside the door, the young Taoists who were beaten to death by the Startled Sparrow Master with their bare hands were still lying on the cold floor. Soon they left with the bodies of their companions.

This was a real battlefield, and had already sacrificed a lot of lives. In the future, there would be many people who would be submerged in this war, and Cao Tai would also be one of them.

There was only darkness in front of his eyes.

Suddenly, the door opened. An anxious pair of footsteps walked towards Cao Tai. Are you a subordinate of Ding Ling? Her men had finally found her again.

"Master Cao, let's go!" A voice sounded out beside Cao Tai.

Who is it? This voice was very familiar, Cao Tai knew that the person who spoke was one of his subordinates, but he could not remember who it was. There were so many people who had once served him, so many that he wouldn't pay attention to any of them.

"Young Master." The man's voice suddenly became teary, "Do you want the Startled Sparrow Master to die just like that?"

Cao Tai was suddenly stunned, he did not understand why the Startled Sparrow Master would treat him so well. Even if his own father were to come, he wouldn't risk his life just for him like that, right? If there was anyone in this world worthy of Cao Tai's gratitude, it would be the Startled Sparrow Master.

"Young Master," the one who was crying cried, "The Grand Master did not tell us where you were until his death!"

Cao Tai had finally wavered. Even if it wasn't for himself, he should still live for those who had sacrificed their lives for him. As the eldest son of the Cao family, he should have carried more things on his back.

Maybe he came a little late, but Cao Tai finally woke up.

"Young Master?" That person's voice was trembling. He was surprised because Cao Tai had stood up by himself.

"Young Master!" His tone became agitated and excited again. "Let's go! Ding Ling's men are coming!

Cao Tai's eyes were empty, but he could see the light now. Take me with you. " "No," he said.

Compared to the Cao Tai of the past, he was now even more down and out, and had the demeanor of someone in a position of power. He should have been like this. As the eldest son of an aristocratic family who had been born countless times ahead of other people, he should have shown his courage a long time ago.

Although Cao Tai was no longer able to see it, the man still bowed to him respectfully. Then, he held Cao Tai's hand and led him to run outside.

"What's your name?" Cao Tai said, "I will repay you." If he wanted to repay this kindness, Cao Tai would have to return to his original position, but he had already gained the confidence that if this kind of suffering did not defeat him, then the future Cao Tai would be invincible.

"As long as I can get you safely back to the Cao family," the man said, "I won't ask for anything in return."

"Tell me your name." Cao Tai said with an commanding tone.

"Wang Yi, Young Master, my name is Wang Yi!" Wang Yi replied. Cao Tai was currently in his position once again, but this time around, he had already completed his metamorphosis. He will be a qualified ruler, Wang Yi thought.

"Be careful, there's a patrol squad up ahead." Suddenly, Wang Yi pulled Cao Tai's body and stuck it to the wall.

"You know them well." Cao Tai whispered.

Wang Yi did not speak.

Wang Yi still did not answer. Cao Tai, who had lost his eyes, could not see the expression on Wang Yi's face, but it was not hard to guess. Wang Yi was a traitor.

He first betrayed Cao Tai and came to Ding Ling's side, but perhaps Startled Sparrow Master's death had provoked him, causing him to once again stand by Cao Tai's side.

"I won't blame you for your past," Cao Tai suddenly said. "I only care about who you will be loyal to in the future."

"You," Wang Yi used his arm to secretly wipe his tears, "I will forever be loyal to you. "Young master."
