Chapter 376: I Will Protect Them

Xu Xiang looked at Diwu Zexi silently for a long time before asking, "What do you want from me in exchange for this Qilin Order?"

Diwu Zexi clenched his hands even tighter, gnashed his teeth and said, "Since Qi Liju wants to rule the world under the Qi clan, then I want you to help me destroy the Bei Wei Empire, and give me the life of the members of the Qi clan. I would take everything he wanted and had, and push him into the abyss, before killing him slowly. Only in this way can he pay off the blood debt he owed to my Diwu clan."

As soon as these words came out, there was only silence in the living room. Xu Xiang looked at his eyes full of hatred and saw her past self in Diwu Zexi’s small body. If she hadn’t met A Lu Ge and Mu Yucheng in this world, maybe she would have become like him. A ghost that was mad with hatred, and hungry for vengeance.

Xu Xiang lowered her eyes and thought for a long time whether to accept this deal or not. Diwu Zenan, who was sitting next to his eldest brother, felt very anxious when he saw his eldest brother’s expression. He reached out and took his elder brother’s hand, holding it tightly.

Feeling the warmth from his small hands, Diwu Zexi raised his head, and saw Diwu Zenan looking at him worriedly. He controlled his emotions, then smiled at his younger brother and gently said, "I’m fine."

After speaking, he looked at Xu Xiang, waiting for her answer. Ten minutes later, Xu Xiang raised her eyes and looked at the two brothers. "I agree to help you, but not because I want the Qilin Order, but because Qi Liju has brought disaster to the world."

She glanced at the Qilin Order again, thought for a while, and said, "You should keep that Qilin Order. I just want you to promise me one thing before I agree to help you."

"Please tell me." Diwu Zexi said calmly.

Xu Xiang pointed at his heart and said, "Don’t lose yourself."

As soon as these words came out, Diwu Zexi’s eyes contracted. He lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time before saying, "... All right. I promise you."

Xu Xiang observed him for a while, let out a sigh and said, "I promise to give you Qi Liju’s life. As for whether the Bei Wei Empire will be destroyed or not, it depends on someone else."

Before Diwu Zexi had time to ask who that person was, Xu Xiang stood up, opened the door and said, "Go back and pack your things. You two will set off together with the army."

Knowing that he could not get information about that person from Xu Xiang, Diwu Zexi stood up and said, "All right."

He held his younger brother’s hand and left Xu Xiang’s house. Watching the two of them go away, Xu Xiang thought to herself: ’It turns out that only his younger brother can calm him down. It seems that I should keep Diwu Zenan close by my side to control Diwu Zexi’s for now. It will be troublesome if he suddenly loses control in the future.’

Time flies by in the blink of an eye as everyone is busy preparing and saying goodbye to their families. When the sun rose to its highest point, A Lu Da stood in front of more than thirty thousand soldiers. He looked calmly at his father, elders and villagers who came to see them off.

After looking at them for a while, he got on his horse, looked straight ahead, and said, "Set off!"

Following his order, the army left Shen Gu Village, leaving only five thousand soldiers and half of the Xiuluo warriors guarding the village. Xu Xiang, who sat in a horse cart filled with sacks of grains, looked at Ha Tai and the elders.

Seeing the worry hidden in Ha Tai’s eyes, she opened her lips and shouted, "Chieftain Ha Tai, I will protect them! You must protect yourself well and wait for them to come back!"

Hearing Xu Xiang’s parting words, Ha Tai smiled, raised his hand and waved to her. Getting farther and farther away from Shen Gu Village, Xu Xiang leaned on the sacks of grains and looked up at the blue sky.

’This time leaving, I don’t know how many of us will be able to come back alive.’

Five minutes after the army departed, Aojie Lei’er arrived at the entrance of the village. Seeing that everyone was still there, she walked quickly towards Wula Gan.

"Grandpa!"

Wula Gan sighed when he heard her shout. Seeing that he ignored her, Aojie Lei’er’s annoyance turned into anger.

She walked up to him and asked angrily: "Grandpa, what do you mean by not letting me follow them?! You know my abilities are invaluable and can be a great support for the army. What reason do you have for not letting me go, but that woman can go?!"

Wula Gan turned his head to look at Ha Tai and other elders, smiled apologetically, and said, "Please forgive her for being rude."

Ha Tai nodded to him, glanced at Aojie Lei’er for a second, then said with a smile: "It doesn’t matter. It seems that the saintess is not in a good mood."

After speaking, he looked at the elders and villagers. "Everyone, please go back."

Hearing this, the soldiers and Xiuluo warriors saluted him one after another, and then returned to their posts. As for the villagers, there is indeed a lot of work to be done, so after bidding farewell to Ha Tai and the elders, they left.

After they left, Ha Tai looked at Wula Gan and said, "We will take our leave first."

Ha Tai glanced at Aojie Lei’er once more, before he left with all the elders. When Wula Gan saw that there were only two of them there, the smile on his face disappeared.
