Chapter 409: There are Some Stories That Dont Have to be Known
The restaurant was quite a bustling and rowdy place.
The Great Sui Nation had always been quite wealthy, and its citizens were both able and willing to spend. After all, the Geyang Gao Clan had created a nation of peace and prosperity for the past several hundred years, so they had no qualms about spending money and enjoying life.
Mao Xiaodong was standing by a window on the second floor, and he was looking out the window as he cautioned, "Don't worry about me, just focus on protecting yourself."
A Golden Core Tier swordsman, a Dragon Gate Tier Militarian cultivator, a Dragon Gate Tier formation cultivator, a Far Roaming Tier martial artist, and a Vajra Body Tier martial artist.
Regardless of their status and objectives, the five assassins had come together, and they were all concealed in an area within a radius ten thousand feet of the restaurant.
Such a formidable lineup would most likely be enough to take down even an Unpolished Jade Tier cultivator, let alone a Nascent Tier earth immortal who wasn't a swordsman.
Chen Ping'an couldn't help but think back to the young girl with bells tied to her wrists and ankles in the city god pavilion of the Colorful Garment Nation. She was the daughter of the prefectural overseer, and her cultivation base wasn't particularly advanced, but she was able to perfectly assist Chen Ping'an to just the right degree every single time, thereby leaving him with a very positive impression of her.
From that point onward, every battle that he had endured had either been fought on his own, or with the assistance of the four picture scroll martial artists. Even on the occasions where he had the assistance of the four picture scroll martial artist, he was still always the one to deal the decisive blow.
However, on this occasion, all he had to do was stand behind Mao Xiaodong, and that was a rather unfamiliar scenario for him. At the same time, he was feeling a little frustrated at his own powerlessness. Now that he was back to the Majestic World from the Lotus Flower Blessed Land, there was no longer a superimposed cultivation base ceiling, and his cultivation base was found severely lacking.
"If you're still a worthless Nascent Tier cultivator once you get to my ripe, old age, I'll have to beat you in our teacher's stead!" Mao Xiaodong teased.
A resigned look appeared on Chen Ping'an's face, and he patted his Sword Nurturing Gourd while internally alerting First and Fifteenth to be ready for the approaching assassins.
