Chapter 17: A Drop of Red Blood

"Childe!" Zhang Xiong saw Li Bai, as if he hadn't seen him for a few years, tears welled up in his excited eyes for a while, and he said with wet red eyes, "I've been waiting for you here for ten days!

Hearing Zhang Xiong's words, Li Bai frowned.

His friendship with this Zhang Xiong is not deep, this Zhang Xiong has been waiting for him here for ten days, and his wishful thinking for himself is really big enough. However, he still didn't understand why Zhang Xiong was waiting for him.

"What are you waiting for me to do?" Li Bai said indifferently.

"Childe!

Zhang Xiong's expression was solemn, his brows furrowed, and he uncovered the things wrapped in the white cloth in his hand and handed them to Li Bai.

When Li Bai saw the thing wrapped in the white cloth, his eyes flashed, and a trace of hatred swam into his heart.

This is his right arm! In the battle ten days ago, he was cut off in the cave by the ancestor of the black wolf family! But why this right arm fell into Zhang Xiong's hands again, Li Bai thought about it, but he didn't know.

Li Bai took his former right arm and said slightly: "How can my hand be in you?"

Zhang Xiong listened to Li Bai's questioning, wiped a handful of tears, and replied seriously: "I picked up this hand! We were mining in the mine that day, and the mark suddenly disappeared, so I guessed that it was Gongzi's reason! I went to look for Gongzi with Qingming and White Fang, but when we came out, we found that Gongzi was fighting to the death with the people of the Black Wolf Family! We are not the opponent of the Black Wolf Family, so we dare not appear rashly, so we have been hiding nearby, trying to find an opportunity to sneak attack! But who knows, Gongzi finally entered the mine and never came out! After that, we waited until the people of the Black Wolf Family left and went into the cave to look for Childe!

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiong's voice was much lower, his face was pale, and he looked a little apologetic.

However, Li Bai was not enthusiastic about Zhang Xiong.

Li Bai raised his eyebrows, and asked lightly, "What about the two of them?"

"The two of them ......"

Zhang Xiong's voice paused slightly, and his face was dark.

"The two of them searched with me for a few days, but they didn't find Childe, thinking that Childe was dead, so they left first!"

"Then why don't you leave?"

Li Bai raised his eyebrows again, but he had a good impression of this Zhang Xiong.

"I ...... I couldn't save my son, and I felt uneasy, so I ...... I've been waiting here!, I guess Childe won't die!"

"You're smart enough to know I'm not going to die!"

Hearing this, Li Baizheng looked at Zhang Xiong, adding a little more appreciation.

This Zhang Xiong is tall and strong, but he is also a little outstanding, especially this ability to look at people, even Li Bai has to admire.

But when he was admiring Zhang Xiong in his heart, Zhang Xiong looked flustered, but he became nervous.

Zhang Xiong regarded Li Bai's heartfelt admiration as sarcasm for himself, and he felt even more guilty in his heart. He leaned in front of Li Bai, but he didn't dare to cross the line, raised his eyes and looked at Li Bai pitifully, and said without saying anything: "Childe, you ...... You don't blame me for not saving me, do you?"

"Save?" Li Bai frowned, the corners of his mouth hooked a smile rather than a smile, took his former arm, put it into the jade bag, and then said in a cool voice, "What do you do to save me?......?" It's just a matter of giving someone someone's life for nothing!"

This Zhang Xiong really did not come to the rescue of Li Bai at the moment of crisis, it stands to reason that Li Bai should have nothing to do with him, but Li Bai is not an ordinary person, and he will not bother with Zhang Xiong. There are two main reasons, one is because he and Zhang Xiong are not familiar with each other, and he is unwilling to let Zhang Xiong go to the rescue, owing Zhang Xiong a favor, and second, because he has always advocated that those who know the times are handsome, cherish their bodies, and don't care about things when they encounter them, and do not support desperate fights. Therefore, if someone had not taken the initiative to harm him, he would have been the water of the well and would not have interfered with the water of the river. As for Zhang Xiong's death, for him, it was just a joke.

However, Zhang Xiong couldn't see through his thoughts, and his indifferent expression made Zhang Xiong's heart even more nervous.

Zhang Xiong fell to his knees with a "plop", and looked at Li Bai sincerely with his fists clenched.

Zhang Xiong knew that he was not capable, but Zhang Xiong swore from now on that he would definitely cultivate hard in the future and swear to protect his son!"

"No, you don't!"

Li Bai glanced at Zhang Xiong and said coldly.

It's not that he doesn't want Zhang Xiong to follow him, but he knows in his heart that his future road will be very difficult, and if he lets this Zhang Xiong follow him, this Zhang Xiong will suffer from hardships. Although he is not familiar with this Zhang Xiong, this Zhang Xiong also really wants to serve him as the master, as long as he treats him sincerely, he will not drag him down.

However, despite Li Bai's refusal, this Zhang Xiong raised his eyes and resolutely looked at Li Bai, vowing to serve Li Bai as the master.

"Gongzi must be worried that Zhang Xiong will go back on his word! In this way, Zhang Xiong swears to the heavens that he is willing to take the precepts as a lesson and serve Gongzi for the rest of his life! If I, Zhang Xiong, have a trace of betrayal of the Lord, the five thunders will blow to the top, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!"

After that, before Li Bai opened his mouth to refuse again, Zhang Xiong had already sworn by the precepts, and then a drop of red blood flew from Zhang Xiong's forehead to Li Bai, glowing with red fluorescence, waiting for Li Bai to accept it.

Li Bai looked at the red blood flying out of Zhang Xiong's forehead, his eyes flashed slightly, and his deep pupils shrank in an instant.

"Commandment?"

Li Bai muttered in a low voice.

The precepts are the way of punishment, the world's own system of heavenly punishment. As long as someone makes a covenant between master and servant, the precepts will give a drop of the servant's red blood to the master, and if the servant betrays the master in the future, then the master can destroy the red blood and summon five thunderbolts to kill the servant, and then the servant will perish on his own without the master's own intervention. And this Zhang Xiong was willing to swear by the precepts and hand over his red blood to Li Bai, which was enough to show his loyalty to Li Bai.

Li Bai saw the drop of red blood floating in front of him and hesitated for two seconds. After he thought about it carefully, he felt that the journey he had gone this time was really long, and he really needed someone to take care of his food, clothing, daily life and guide him in the process, so he decided to accept Zhang Xiong's red blood and Zhang Xiong's servant.

"Since you have sworn to the sky, then I will accept this little bit of red blood first, and keep your little life for others!"

"Let Childe dispose of it!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiong was extremely happy, and he couldn't help but be excited in his heart, and an unprecedented happy smile bloomed on his face.

Seeing this, Li Bai raised his hand and began to order gently: "Get up!

Now, Zhang Xiong has recognized himself as the master, and he should treat him sincerely!

"Childe, where are we going?" asked Zhang Xiong suspiciously.

"Tokai!"

Then, the two embarked on the road to the East China Sea together and disappeared into the uninhabited Black Stone Mountain.
