A thick wooden stick somehow appeared in the boy's hand, and with just a turn, the big bear's head rolled down.

Before the girl could react, Luo Chao had already taken her away from the scene.

"Thank you for saving my life. Could you tell me your name, benefactor?" The little girl blushed, looking a bit shy. After all, she was destined to marry him, so how could she not know his name?

If she didn't know his name, how would she find him when she grew up? Moreover, she wanted her father to make him her companion for study now.

Luo Chao rested for a while and actually dreamed about things from his childhood. He immediately felt nostalgic, reminiscing about the time he fought the big bear.

It's just a pity that the big bear was too weak. Now, he can easily kill several of them with just one palm strike.

But who was that girl in the white dress and blue skirt? Back then, he seemed to have promised her something, but now he couldn't recall it for a moment.

Jiang Yuanyuan also rested for a while. She didn't expect to fall asleep in this place, and at the same time, Luo Chao was still beside her.

"Xiaoqi, he didn't do anything strange, did he?" Chen Xiaoqi was stunned. Strange things? Although she didn't know if it was strange, Luo Chao seemed to mention a girl in his dream.

And the outfit of this girl was what Jiang Yuanyuan used to love most. This set of clothes even still exists now.

No wonder things are like this. Surely, there's something going on here, but she simply doesn't know.

"By the way, why did Uncle Jiang invite Luo Chao to be a bodyguard?" Chen Xiaoqi curiously asked.

"How should I know why he was invited as a bodyguard?" Chen Xiaoqi's question left Jiang Yuanyuan speechless.

"But would Uncle Jiang say to trust such a normal bodyguard completely? Besides, now he's following him alone into the village."

Jiang Yuanyuan was stunned. It did seem to be the case. Could it be that this person is really someone extraordinary, even someone her father couldn't provoke?

"What did you do to my father?" Jiang Yuanyuan asked nervously.

What did he do? Luo Chao rubbed his eyes, having dispelled most of his drowsiness. But Jiang Yuanyuan's question made him feel quite awkward.

He hadn't done anything to Mr. Jiang. In fact, when he came here, he didn't even know this person.

"Really don't know?" Jiang Yuanyuan asked, feeling worried.

Chen Xiaoqi's words made her suspicious. Luo Chao was that boy. Unfortunately, she had no evidence.

"Are you familiar with the area surrounding this village?" Chen Xiaoqi directly changed the subject.

"Very familiar, since I often cultivated in these places," Luo Chao thought for a while before speaking. But he really didn't understand the cultivators around.

After all, such people rarely interact with outsiders, and the dangerous mountains here are seldom visited by anyone.

While they were talking, people from the Xinyuan Sect received the news. It turns out Jiang Yuanyuan went to her childhood place, and she only took Luo Chao with her.

As for Chen Xiaoqi, she was barely noteworthy, just an ordinary person—nothing significant.

By this point, Long Li had reached a small achievement in cultivation, immensely satisfying the man. Indeed, a cultivation genius, having advanced to such an impressive stage so quickly, is astonishing.

Presumably, he could soon become a Human Level expert. This would be enough to make people from the Xinyuan Sect proud. The appearance of a Human Level expert would cause a massive shift in the sect's standing externally.

"Of course. But it's also thanks to the master's excellent teaching. Without the master, the disciple wouldn't have achieved such accomplishments even after a hundred years,"

The man flattered. At this time, his master was far superior to him, yet even so, the old man still hadn't reached the Human Level.

Once he reached that realm, he would definitely use the Xinyuan Sect's resources to make that person suffer a fate worse than death.

How dare they cross me; there's no distinction between that and seeking death. No, seeking death means dying immediately, whereas he would ensure that person suffers a fate worse than death.

"Master, how long until I can become a Human Level expert?" Long Li directly asked.

"A few months? Child, you overestimate. How could a few months suffice to attain such a level? At least fifty years are required to have hope of reaching that realm,"

Long Li was stunned. It was him who praised his talent, yet now he has to cultivate for fifty years just to reach that level—how could he endure this?

"Why? Taking a hit, are you? Cultivation demands some setbacks; otherwise, the cultivator isn't suitable,"

Long Li was stunned. What kind of logic is this? Why must I endure setbacks; what's wrong with smooth sailing?

"Can't understand? Without setbacks, you won't have goals to progress. Cultivators have long lifespans, and without goals in these long lives, they become unmotivated. Without motivation, progress is impossible, only waiting for death,"

The elder's words were a wake-up call to the man; this was the way.

"Moreover, here's good news for you. That Luo Chao you're interested in has already entered the village with Jiang Yuanyuan and Chen Xiaoqi,"

Who are Jiang Yuanyuan and Chen Xiaoqi? Long Li knew of Luo Chao, but who are these two women? Wasn't Luo Chao's woman Mao Zhonghua? When did he change to these two?

"Ha ha, that despicable woman deserves it. She didn't choose me back then, and now, isn't she choosing a scumbag?" Long Li's laughter was loud, making others slightly uncomfortable.

"Now you must know what to do; many from our Xinyuan Sect have died by his hand," the man said calmly.

It seemed as if the dead were just acquaintances, yet his anger was undeniable, even Long Li clearly felt it.

"I understand, I'll take people to capture him right away. But are those two women pretty?"
