"Lu Liang, I remember." Ye Xiao said.

Shao Fuyuan quickly added, "I'm Shao Fuyuan, and I wonder about the senior's position..."

"Just Xiao." Ye Xiao said, then stopped speaking.

Shao Fuyuan was slightly puzzled at first, then quickly said, "Brother Xiao, we must hurry to complete the task."

Ye Xiao nodded slightly, still maintaining a faint smile, without saying a word.

At this moment, Lu Liang looked at Ye Xiao, still very surprised. What shocked him the most was that Ye Xiao just let them go. Although they were told to assassinate Huo Wensong, there was no restraint at all. Was he not afraid they would run away?

However, Lu Liang didn't voice this thought, instead, he knelt on the ground. Of course, he wasn't kneeling to Ye Xiao but facing the vast sky, swearing, "I, Lu Liang, swear today facing Huang Tian and the earth below. Brother Xiao spared my life today, granting me a chance to live again. From now on, my life belongs to Brother Xiao. From this day forth, all will be at Brother Xiao's command. If, in this life, I violate this oath, I shall willingly suffer lightning strikes, poison, and the devouring of my heart by a thousand insects, enduring endless torment and having no place to be buried."

Hearing this, Ye Xiao immediately stepped forward, reaching out to help Lu Liang, smiling, "I didn't require you to swear."

"Brother Xiao didn't ask me to swear. It was my own decision." Lu Liang looked earnestly at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao nodded, saying, "As you wish."

Ye Xiao helped Lu Liang up.

At this moment, the most surprised person was Shao Fuyuan. He originally thought Lu Liang was just saying it casually, but unexpectedly, Lu Liang really swore.

Swearing is mysterious because no one knows whether the oath will come true. Generally, if people aren't sincere, they won't swear so viciously. However, Lu Liang did so today, which was quite strange. Could it be that Lu Liang really intended to follow this man?

Of course, these thoughts weren't too important for Shao Fuyuan. What he should think about most was whether he should swear. If he didn't swear, could he pass this hurdle?

At this moment, Ye Xiao didn't even look at him, seemingly not noticing him at all.

After thinking it over, Shao Fuyuan also knelt down, repeating what Lu Liang had just said.

"You may go." Ye Xiao said.

Lu Liang and Shao Fuyuan quickly nodded in agreement, then supported each other and left the place. As for Zhuang Bisheng, they paid him no attention. Actually, it wasn't their fault; with Ye Xiao standing there, they wouldn't dare to touch Zhuang Bisheng, no matter how bold they were.

Ye Xiao watched Lu Liang and Shao Fuyuan, then glanced at Zhuang Bisheng and disappeared into the night.

After Lu Liang and Shao Fuyuan left, they soon arrived at another road.

Shao Fuyuan flagged down a car, and the two got in.

"To the airport!" Shao Fuyuan said directly to the driver after getting in.

At this moment, Lu Liang, sitting in the back seat, immediately said to Shao Fuyuan, "Big brother, why are we going to the airport?"

Shao Fuyuan immediately replied, "If not to the airport, where to? Do you really plan to follow that guy's orders?"

Hearing Shao Fuyuan's words, Lu Liang immediately told the driver who was already speeding to the airport, "Stop the car!"

"What did you say?" Shao Fuyuan asked immediately, hearing Lu Liang's words, "What do you mean?"

"Big brother, I can't leave." Lu Liang looked at Shao Fuyuan.

"You must understand, Old San, he..." Shao Fuyuan looked angrily at Lu Liang.

Lu Liang sighed and then said, "Let's discuss it outside."

Hearing this, Shao Fuyuan did not refuse. He told the driver to stop and got out of the car, heading to the roadside by the woods.

"You don't really intend to be his follower, do you?" Shao Fuyuan looked at Lu Liang, face full of anger as he said to Lu Liang, "Old San was killed by him, even though we didn't know Old San for long, he helped us a lot."

"I understand that, but you know, I value oaths the most. Since I made this solemn vow, I will certainly act on it. I'm not someone with great principles, I'm just someone afraid of death, but even so, I have my own bottom line." Lu Liang sighed and said, "I'm not someone with high principles, I'm just someone who fears death. But even so, I have my bottom line."

"Bottom line?" Shao Fuyuan tried hard to restrain his voice, glaring at Lu Liang, "You bastard, have you forgotten? If it weren't for me saving you back then, you would have been killed by your enemies five years ago, and now you're talking to me about your bottom line? Let me say it again, come with me immediately. Once we raise our strength, we'll come back for revenge!"

Lu Liang looked at Shao Fuyuan. Of course, he couldn't be unmoved by Shao Fuyuan's words, but he valued his oath the most, even having a bit of superstition. So, since he swore, and especially a solemn and vicious swearing, he wouldn't change, for one reason: he feared death.

Lu Liang earnestly said to Shao Fuyuan, "Big brother, we've known each other for five years, and it's been a year since we knew Old San. We all want to make a name for ourselves but never succeeded. Do you know why?"

"The opportunity hasn't come!" Shao Fuyuan said.

"No, it's because among the three of us, each is considering their own interests. Let's not talk about Old San, as he's already dead; about myself, I've always wanted to achieve something, I'm willing to charge into battle, but no one has ever been worth me being the vanguard. As for you, big brother, you've always wanted to be the boss of a faction, to have influence in Yan Country, but in reality, you don't have particularly strong leadership skills. Your cultivation is naturally good, the best among us three, but against Brother Xiao just now? You stood no chance. That's the gap. The Martial Arts World is more brutal than ordinary society. Strength represents everything. We don't have the ability to be the boss, moreover, we lack the strength. What we should do is find someone worth following. Now I've found him." Lu Liang said seriously, looking at Shao Fuyuan.

Shao Fuyuan said, "You think, this Brother Xiao is definitely that person?"

"I don't know, but from his charisma, I can be sure. Following him is definitely better than our past aimless wandering!" Lu Liang said.

Shao Fuyuan turned pale with anger upon hearing Lu Liang's words, clearly indicating Lu Liang meant Shao Fuyuan wasn't a leader worth following.
