Chapter 213 - “Follow Me”

Knowing that the youngster in front of him had the will to fight for a better future, but still understood his situation and was willing to repay gratitude made Luo Xiao very satisfied.

Many of those who had become slaves were either timid and unable to improve, or too arrogant and unable to face reality.

This Huo Yu was able to see the reality at a glance and was willing to accept that while his situation was not good, it could be worse. He knew that life was actually unfair and that his future had been decided by the status of his parents upon birth.

Since he was aware that he could not escape the claws of fate, he was already very satisfied to have been taken in by the Gu family where he was treated well. Even if he did not manage to become anyone outstanding in this life, he still believed that as long as he did nothing evil, he would be reincarnated, and then he could try again.

Luo Xiao was not an impatient person, but he did not like wasting time either. He had, initially, planned to test whether or not this youngster was suitable to become his own follower.

After hearing his words, Luo Xiao was very satisfied, but he still understood the seriousness of trusting another person.

"I am currently in need of someone to follow me. I do not know how long I can stay in the Tiandi Continent, as I plan to ascend to the upper realm as soon as possible. If you are willing to follow me, then I will give you back the documents that can give you back your identity as a free person.

"I do require of you to swear a Heavenly Oath to never betray me, but if you can do that, you will be a free man.

"I understand your feelings of gratitude towards the Gu family, and I can promise you that as long as they do not overstep the boundaries, I will treat them with gratitude and respect for as long as their family exists."

Luo Xiao was not as skilled in controlling others' psychology as Jiang Yao, but after staying by the demon's side for so long, he had come to understand a few things. Even so, he had never tried to convince someone to follow him before, so he did feel a bit lost.

Even so, he believed that this Huo Yu was very suitable to become one of his confidants. He was very smart, and he was able to see the truth about the world. At the same time, he was not abrupt but seemed mature beyond his years. He did not have anything holding him back, so he could also follow him to the upper realm.

The more Luo Xiao thought about it, the more he nodded his head, feeling that this guy was simply too suitable. He was certain that Jiang Yao would be proud of his good judgment when he arrived later.

Fortunately, he did not voice out this belief, as Ye Feng would have snorted and shaken his head. Their lord would accept the identity of Huo Yu, if he was loyal to Luo Xiao, but he would never approve. No matter what, their lord was still quite possessive.

While Luo Xiao was busy feeling proud of himself, Ye Feng and Ye Chao both observed Huo Yu. In fact, both of them agreed that this young man was suitable to use as a leader of the dark forces, but they also knew that they could not afford to steal the talents from Luo Xiao.

Huo Yu was also quite surprised as he listened to the offer. He could not help but look at the three men in front of him, and complex emotions flashed past his eyes.

Although he had accepted reality and was willing to repay his gratitude to the Gu family, he was naturally not against fighting for a better future.

Although Luo Xiao, or Gu Tianyu, was not a proper member of the Gu family, Huo Yu had his own source of information within the residence, so he knew how valued the young man was.

However, where most of the servants assumed that Luo Xiao was valued due to the Patriarch missing his sister, Huo Yu always felt that there might be something else behind this extreme respect and pampering.

So, if he were to follow this young man, he might be able to stand taller in the future and see a wider world.

Huo Yu had already cate to terms with being a slave for a lifetime, so he was naturally not against following a master. He had no will to be the brightest shining star, all he wished for was to witness the chaotic lands and test his limits. He wanted to use his abilities and step into a wider stage.

Following this young man, he seemed to already foresee the bright future he had always dreamt of but accepted to be unreachable.

"I am willing."

Huo Yu was also not a person who wished to waste any time. Since he had already wanted to experience the world, he would grab the chance that had presented itself in front of him. He was not willing to let it go.

"My name is Luo Xiao. I will need you to swear a Heavenly Oath of allegiance." Luo Xiao was very happy with this young man, but he still understood the severity of this matter.. No matter how good his first impression was, certain things had to be done to ensure not only his safety but also Jiang Yao's.
