I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1285

Chapter 1285: Chapter 1286: When Enemies Meet, Their Eyes Blaze with Hatred Chapter 1285: Chapter 1286: When Enemies Meet, Their Eyes Blaze with Hatred “Amitabha, monks do not speak false words; indeed, I was too impulsive just now, and I ask the Sect Master for forgiveness.”

“I have come today to discuss a matter of great importance on behalf of the Buddhist Sect, and I hope the Sect Master can grant us a convenience.”

Monk Wuyan spoke slowly.

Even with a heart full of rage, he had to restrain himself now. He was here to ask for help and should therefore adopt a humble attitude. Displaying arrogance might turn potential allies into foes, which is something the Buddhist Sect does not wish to see.

“Since you are an esteemed monk of the Buddhist Sect, respect is due. Please, come with me to the Sect Master Hall for a talk.”

Ying Diao chuckled as he spoke.

This monk sure knows the situation. At this crucial moment, Ying Diao had a rough idea why the Buddhist Sect would seek him out. Having Chen Yuan stir trouble was intended to suppress the Buddhist Sect's arrogance over the years!

“Amitabha, if that's the case, then I dare not decline. However, the discipline within the Sword Sect is truly too lax. If this continues, it will only bring harm to the sect. I hope Sect Master Ying will take this seriously as soon as possible,”
said Monk Wuyan coldly, throwing down those words and giving Chen Yuan a fierce look before following Ying Diao away.

In the latrine, Chen Yuan was scared into a cold sweat. What a close call having brought a Saint Realm powerhouse to clean the lavatories; he had indeed flirted with death!

“Thank goodness, this steward's fortunes are large, and noble people are helping me. Otherwise, my body weighing over a hundred pounds would've been left here today!”

Chen Yuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Just as he was about to step out of the latrine, another familiar voice rang out.

“Chen Yuan, well done. You have done a meritorious deed this time, proceed to the sect to receive your reward!”

This was the voice of Li Xiaobai. Chen Yuan's expression instantly turned excited. The organization had not abandoned him. The list, the organization had always been watching his actions in secret, offering him protection. That's why Ying Diao had arrived so promptly!

Now calm, he realized that no one blamed him for his reckless actions. There was only one truth: he had done the right thing. Li Xiaobai and Sect Master Ying wanted to humiliate the monk, and his actions had precisely matched their desires!

“Thank you, Brother Li. I understand!”

Chen Yuan replied excitedly!

“Mm, I feel very assured entrusting the Second Peak to you.”

The familiar voice outside added another phrase and then the presence vanished.

“Thank you for nourishing me, Brother Li!”

Chen Yuan became even more respectful. This time it was a fluke he had done something to please both Li Xiaobai and Ying Diao; such flukes wouldn't happen every time. He must quickly enhance his own status and follow in his brother's steps. His brother was on a much higher level, and as the chief steward, he needed to ponder more on what he saw!

A few minutes later.

Chen Yuan sat on the steps at the foot of the Second Peak mountain, feeling dejected as he pondered how he could proactively discern Li Xiaobai's intentions. It was a delicate task, and wracking his brain for a solution was frustrating.

Just as he was troubled, a blood-red figure appeared before his eyes.

This was a middle-aged man with a fierce look, inherently the spitting image of a villain; standing there, it was as though his face was marked with the words “I am a bad guy”.

The man did not display his cultivation level, but the faintly discernible, ominous aura surrounding him was so oppressive that the nearby disciples kept stepping back, unable to move a foot.

“That's a murderous aura!”

“Who are you?”

Chen Yuan suddenly raised his head and glared at the other party. At this moment, he firmly believed that with Brother Li and the Sect Leader secretly watching, he feared no one, exuding confidence!

“Core Elder Xueyuan of the Blood Demon Sect, is your Sect Master residing on this mountain peak?”

The bloody shadow spoke indifferently, his voice cold, expressing none of the pleasantries, a stark contrast to Master Wuyan's demeanor before.

“No, this is the mountain peak of Brother Li. What business brings you to our Sect Master?”

Chen Yuan questioned with a suspicious look in his eyes. He found the current situation strangely familiar, as if the conversation with Monk Wuyan earlier, who also sought an audience with the Sect Master for an urgent matter, was on the same lines leading to the Second Peak. Could it be that these two had the same objective?

“Quite inquisitive for someone of such little significance. I could tell you, but you'd be dead before you knew it. Sometimes, knowing too much is detrimental. Step aside, I need to proceed.”

Disregarding Chen Yuan, Xueyuan dropped such a remark casually and stepped forward to push his way through.

“Wait, follow me; I'll take you to the Sword Sect's check-in point!”

After pondering for a moment, Chen Yuan quickly realized an opportunity to show off arose once again. This person obviously shared the same goal as Monk Wuyan. Although Chen Yuan was clueless about the guest's intentions, leading him to the latrine for a thorough experience seemed to be of no harm.

“Yes, that must be it. Nowadays, the cultivation level and status of both the Sect Master and Peak Master are soaring, raising their reputation and prestige in the Central Origin Realm significantly. Some tasks are indeed not suitable for them to handle personally and require a deputy. As the foremost steward of the Second Peak, it's naturally my duty!”

“So what if a Saint Realm expert has arrived? With Brother Li and Sect Master Ying supporting one another in secrecy, even the arrival of a deity today would mean they have to dutifully cleanse the latrines!”

Chen Yuan thought as much and, lifting his foot, led Xueyuan up the Second Peak.

“Hmph, at least you're sensible. Lead the way quietly. Otherwise, I'll tear you to pieces!”

Xueyuan grumbled coldly and slowly followed.

The path was the same, and so was the scenery. As they ventured deeper into seclusion, Xueyuan started to feel antsy. Meanwhile, Chen Yuan who was leading the way strutted proudly, feeling like a valiant hero poised to overcome dangers and save countless people!

A few breaths later, outside the latrine.

“Boy, what is this path you've taken, leading me into the latrine–what's the meaning of this?”

Xueyuan's forehead throbbed with veins popping as he raised his eyebrow in query.

“You'll know once you enter.”

Chen Yuan replied indifferently, seemingly not taking the other party seriously at all.

Xueyuan was flabbergasted. Although he had not displayed his cultivation level, the aura of strength naturally emanating from his body was something anyone could sense. This youngster had brought him in front of a latrine door and was about to lead him inside. Was he unafraid, or did this mean there was something extraordinary hidden inside the latrine?

Was the real Sect Master Hall actually a small space concealed within the latrine?

With such doubts and thoughts, Xueyuan followed him inside, but as soon as he entered, his eyebrows shot up. At this moment, there was another person in the latrine–a little old man in ragged clothes, dirty as a beggar, vigorously shoveling with a spade.

Chen Yuan couldn't help but pause: “Elder, what are you…?”

The beggar-like old man wiped the sweat from his face, not daring to tell the truth, but instead said with a smiling face, “Just experiencing life, you know? We hands-on experts should delve into the grass roots, starting with the small tasks, beginning with what's around us!”

“And who might this person beside you be…?”

The beggar-like elderly man looked towards Xueyuan with a puzzled expression, not recognizing him.

Upon seeing the face of the person before him, Xueyuan's eyes turned red in an instant: “Xiao Lao Di!”

“I can't believe it, you bastard, so you've been hiding here. Do you know how I've suffered these past few days searching for you, how hard it has been for me?”

“Today, it's either your death or mine!”
