High Martial World: I Gain Passive Skills Daily-Chapter 64 - 63: Try Shouting for Help
He suddenly changed from his previous gentle and aloof yet steady blind musician image, responding with such "enthusiasm."
He even changed his address to a more intimate "Brother Yanwei."
This left Zhou Yanwei momentarily stunned.
But he didn’t think too much of it, only assuming that Chen Kuang had also noticed something. He sighed inwardly, truly worthy of someone who could make a name in the Canglang Review as a formidable figure, indeed remarkable.
This made Zhou Yanwei even more determined in his decision this time.
This person is both courageous and wise, and among thousands, he protects the lineage of the Royal Family of Liang Kingdom, a true embodiment of loyalty and righteousness, unquestionably a rare talent.
Though he is a person of Liang Kingdom, he would absolutely never betray and abandon loyalty.
Today, I lent him a hand, hence forming a friendship. In the future... he might just become my ally.
Though Zhou Yanwei loves to act righteously and honorably, he also has his own calculations.
If he can achieve multiple goals, naturally, it couldn’t be better.
Zhou Yanwei immediately beamed with a smile, heartily saying: "Brother Ruogu is too kind. We people of character need not discuss the future!"
"I am merely meddling in others’ affairs, how can I be considered a good person, certainly not one narrow-mindedly seeking rewards for favor."
Zhou Yanwei laughed: "As long as Brother Ruogu considers me a friend, there is no need for any repayment!"
Chen Kuang’s expression turned quirky: "Really?"
Zhou Yanwei nodded: "Really!"
Chen Kuang sighed: "Alright then..."
While speaking, he stepped back half a step.
Zhou Yanwei watched his movements somewhat bewilderedly, thinking he wanted to distance himself to avoid implicating others in his affairs.
His heart stirred, feeling somewhat touched.
Then he saw Chen Kuang turn to Shen Meinan and say, "Run faster in a moment, lest you get splattered with blood."
Shen Meinan: "?"
Zhou Yanwei: "?"
The two of them looked at Chen Kuang with questioning faces, unsure why he said such a thing.
Shen Meinan blinked and asked curiously: "Why run? Where will there be blood?"
Chen Kuang sighed to the sky: "Right here, right in front of you."
Lin Er You had just escorted Qi Sibai off the Tower Ship, shook his fan, and walked over.
He glanced at Chen Kuang’s deliberately posturing expression, suddenly understood something, and his face bore a wry smile.
"Brother Ruogu is indeed my bosom friend."
Lin Er You shook his head: "A thousand cups are too few for such a friend, alas, we cannot continue yesterday’s banquet."
Chen Kuang laughed:
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, I still have many questions in my heart to consult."
Lin Er You nodded:
"Wanlin Commerce Association, just mention my name, you are welcome anytime."
The two chatted and laughed, meanwhile, a sudden ominous feeling crept into Zhou Yanwei’s heart.
The old servant behind him raised his head to look sharply at Lin Er You, his eyes gleaming, hoarsely murmuring:
"Unexpected... Today we were caught by a young man, Freedom Mountain lives up to its name."
"Boom!"
The old servant stomped the ground instantly, shattering the hard deck of Vajra Wood, transformed into an afterimage, rushing towards Lin Er You.
"Crash..."
The entire massive Tower Ship sharply tilted with that stomp, half of it sinking into the water!
Chen Kuang had just steadied himself when he was pulled aside hurriedly by Shen Meinan.
The young girl let out a surprised cry, hastily taking out a pile of jumbled items from her arms, using them all at once.
Chen Kuang glanced and couldn’t help twitching his lips.
Good heavens... all these are mystical treasures!
Ordinary cultivators might not see even one mystical treasure in a lifetime, but she poured them out like pouring beans!
No wonder she has a family background with a Daoist from Mystic God Daoist Sect, probably the Shen Family is at least a powerful cultivator family.
"Don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you!"
Shen Meinan righteously spread her slender arms, stood in front of Chen Kuang, and skillfully chanted a string of incantations.
A variety of colored shields and arrays protected the two, giving an absolute sense of security.
Chen Kuang watched in astonishment.
He even felt... the National Defense Barrier of the Imperial City of Liang Kingdom might not be thicker than these shields before him.
Meanwhile, the lake water spread wide, crashing against the dock’s shore, like roaring waves.
The aura of the old servant finally burst out unrestricted, vast as a sea, heavy as a mountain.
Grandmaster Realm!
Another Grandmaster sighting!
Chen Kuang had already faced two Grandmasters directly, had Pseudo Grandmaster Spiritual Qi by his side, and even survived the battlefield beneath three Saints, so his heart was shaken.
He had a clearer understanding of Zhou Yanwei’s princely identity and the national power of the Zhou Kingdom.
To have a Grandmaster servant readily at hand — that kind of treatment is truly intimidating.
One must know that throughout the Liang Kingdom, there is only one Huo Hengxuan to hold the fort.
Yet the Zhou Kingdom directly employs a Grandmaster Realm as a prince’s servant!
Cultivators who reach such a level are bound to be extremely proud.
To lower themselves as someone else’s servant, they must either be controlled, owe a great debt, or have been nurtured from a young age, forcibly filled with resources to become a Grandmaster, which makes them obliged to be loyal.
No matter the reason, Chen Kuang’s understanding of the Zhou Kingdom’s strength was refreshed.
This is not on the same level as the Liang Kingdom at all...
In this light, even if Chu Wen Ruo and her mother escape, restoring the kingdom is a long and almost hopeless journey.
For others, this suddenly appearing Grandmaster is a genuine shock.
The old servant slammed down with a palm, a fierce wind as overwhelming as the mighty tide, causing half of the tower ship to collapse, the carved beams and painted structures crumbling, all plunging into the lake.
Lin Er You’s smile remained unchanged.
Before him, the silhouette of a sturdy young man flashed, raising his muscled arm to forcibly take the strike!
"Boom!!!"
"Crack!"
Di Wu’s hands, covered with bandages, bulged with veins, his arm bones emitted a breaking sound in an instant.
Yet his face was calm like water, and on his dark face appeared a fervent expression, praising:
"Well done!"
Bang! His aura was also fully unleashed.
Peak of Moon Embrace, Half-Step Grandmaster!
A man in his prime at the Peak of Moon Embrace, his momentum was actually on par with that old servant!
In this clash, the old servant’s heart sank immediately, realizing Di Wu’s imposing aura was too strong; in his twilight years, with a broken body, he feared he wouldn’t be able to match him.
More importantly, he initially planned just to hold Di Wu off temporarily.
But now, he had to face him head-on.
The target was clearly Zhou Yanwei!
"Di Wu! Why do you attack my young master?!"
The old servant shouted angrily.
Di Wu sneered: "Stop playing dumb! Your young master is none other than Chen Kuang! I was wondering how he escaped those two Elders, turns out there’s a Grandmaster helping him!"
Both the old servant and Zhou Yanwei were dumbfounded.
Zhou Yanwei looked incredulously at Lin Er You, pointing at himself: "I’m Chen Kuang? I’m actually Chen Kuang?!"
"Lin Er You, look carefully at who is actually Chen Kuang!"
The perfectly fine prince was so agitated he cursed.
Perhaps because Zhou Yanwei’s tone was truly unbelievable, Di Wu hesitantly turned to look at Lin Er You.
Lin Er You’s expression did not change: "Master Di, do you doubt my judgment?"
His feather fan pointed decisively: "I guarantee with my character, this person is Chen Kuang!"
Di Wu immediately relaxed, looking at the master and servant duo, sneering:
"When the ’Standing Bookshelf’ of Freedom Mountain says so, is there anything left to argue about?"
As he spoke, people from the Wind and Rain Pavilion had already climbed up from below, surrounding Zhou Yanwei.
Zhou Yanwei was only at the Sea Breaking Realm, while facing dozens of Middle Third-Grade Cultivators from the Wind and Rain Pavilion.
The old servant was still entangled with Di Wu.
Unexpectedly, the act of chivalry wasn’t accomplished; instead, he fell into a trap for no reason.
He immediately turned his gaze to the real Chen Kuang.
Maybe it’s the name that carries weight.
Clearly, the opponent’s cultivation was lower than his, but for some reason, he had a gut feeling that the opponent had a way to rescue him.
Chen Kuang glanced at him, saying slowly: "Just being friends, no need to repay?"
Zhou Yanwei, with a bitter face: "Brother Ruogu, stop joking!"
Even at this moment, he remembered not to expose Chen Kuang’s identity, proving to be a truly good person.
Chen Kuang pondered: "Alright, try shouting for help once."
Zhou Yanwei was startled but in the urgency, could only shout: "Brother Ruogu, save me!"
Chen Kuang replied: "I refuse!"
Zhou Yanwei: "..."
He had an expression not knowing whether to speak or not.
