Chapter 1248: Cause and Effect

the people in Xunting Valley raised her."He thought he had spoken softly enough, but to his surprise, Ning'er's icy gaze still swept over him after he finished speaking. Yunliu instinctively shrunk hi...Han Yun stopped in his tracks, he narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly turned to face the man who had just spoken, "What do you mean by that"

"The man now said solemnly, "I know you are eager to find those people. I might have a way to help you find them sooner."

"Han Yun paused, he didn't rush to speak, but just stared deeply at this person. "

The man felt a shiver run down his spine from the intensity of her gaze. He was completely unsure what would happen next.

The scene fell silent for a moment. Han Yun suddenly raised the corner of his mouth slightly, glanced at these men, and said with an ambiguous meaning, "So, what do you want"

Being exposed by Han Yunchi, the man pursed his lips, a hint of embarrassment on his face. However, for the sake of these junior disciples around him, he still had to grit his teeth and say:

The man let out a wry smile. “We were orphans abandoned long ago. We used to beg for food in the city, barely scraping by with one meal sometimes going without another, and often getting beaten up as well. So when our Master found us, he asked if we would be willing to die for him if he could guarantee that we would eat three meals a day and never go hungry again. To us, such a life was beyond our wildest dreams. Of course, we agreed.”

“All of us, and those brothers who have died in these past years, are willing to give our lives for Master. When we arrived, the younger sister was still an infant. To us, she was a beloved younger sister whom we were more than happy to spoil and protect. So when Master departed, he asked us to take poison and swear to protect the younger sister for life.
