Chapter 719: I Hide In My Sleeve A Fist That Is Worlds Wide
“Who do you think warrior Ye is, Miss Shangguan?” Pedant Earth mumbled.
“How would I know? I’m not a god!” Shangguan Hongjin replied before beckoning him to follow her. “Come on. Let’s get out of here.”
“But warrior Ye…” Pedant Earth hesitated.
“But what? You know it’s suicide for us to stay here, right?” Shangguan Hongjin grabbed Pedant Earth’s elbow and started dragging him away. “Besides, you know there’s nothing a tribulation hates more than intervention. If we stay here, the only thing we’ll do is make trouble for warrior Ye.”
“Are we just going to do nothing then?” Pedant Earth asked.
“Of course not! When did I ever say that?” Shangguan Hongjin snorted. “No one can help him against the Profound Yellow Mother Qi Tribulation except himself, but the minor tribulations, now that’s something we can help him with, can’t we?”
“Minor tribulations?” Pedant Earth repeated in confusion before realization struck him. “You’re talking about outsiders!”
That’s right. The world had many trials and tribulations, and not all of them came from the world one lived in. The people who lived in it were a form of tribulation as well.
The world is harsh, and the human heart harsher. It was never an empty saying, and it never will be.
