After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 192 Willing to Play a Supporting Role

“You did a good job this time, but since we need all five Kunyuan Palaces to be open at the same time to enter the Kunyuan Palace, we can’t ignore the Golden Rainbow Society.” Zuo Chen said slowly to everyone.

Cen Chong said, "If we take the initiative to help Jin Honghui, they may not appreciate it. It's better to let them come to us for help. That way, we'll have the initiative in our hands."

“Brother Cen is right. I think their people are already on their way. With the existence of the Giant Winged Demon Eagle, the Kunyuan Palace is probably opening within the next few days. We should send our people over as well.”

Valley of the Demon Eagle.

Those in the Aoki Society who were qualified to enter the Kunyuan Palace looked at the enormous stone palace before them, but their feelings were not all the same.

The many wood-type swordsmen selected by Zuo Chen were naturally delighted. Some of them were strong solo swordsmen, some were members of the Loose Alliance, and some were swordsmen who came from the five major alliances.

However, without the Aoki Society, most of them would not have been able to come here, so they were all grateful to the Aoki Society.

The feelings of the many sword-selection candidates of the Crimson Jade Society were somewhat complicated. The Green Wood Society had overwhelmed them with its strength and forced them to disband the Crimson Jade Society in order to protect themselves.

Logically, they should have hated the Aoki Society, but the actions of the Aoki Society during this period made them admire this organization of only seven people deep in their hearts.

Since there's no way to resist, just enjoy it! Being carried to victory is a pretty good experience too.

After Shen Xu and Xiao Ruohuang escorted everyone into the Kunyuan Palace at the bottom of the valley, they returned directly to Wentian and the others who were still outside the valley.

At this moment, Zuo Chen suddenly said to Shen Xu, "Ruo Huang and I can go to the Golden Rainbow Association. After all, I'm more familiar with that place. What do you think, Shen Xu?"

Upon hearing Zuo Chen's words, everyone else in Wentian immediately turned their gaze to Shen Xu. Except for Qing Yun, everyone else understood that Zuo Chen was doing this to prevent Shen Xu from competing with Qing Yun for the Creation Title.

The key question is: what will Shen Xu choose? If Shen Xu chooses not to agree, what will they choose? If this issue is not handled well, the entire Wentian may fall apart in an instant.

Although none of them wanted Wentian to disband so soon, it was a title! A title that led directly to the pinnacle of creation! How many people in the world wouldn't be tempted by it!

Qingyun looked at the suddenly silent crowd and couldn't help but feel deeply puzzled. "It doesn't matter who goes to help Jin Honghui, why does everyone look so serious?"

Looking at the silent crowd and Qingyun with several small flowers blooming on her mask, Shen Xu couldn't help but smile and say, "Of course, I've been a bit tired these past few days, so I can take a few days off. But it'll be tough on Ruohuang."

Hearing Shen Xu's answer, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and admired his carefree attitude.

While it's true that someone could potentially conquer all five Kunyuan Palaces, it's not guaranteed they'd receive a title, but it's certainly a strong possibility.

The fact that they could give up such an opportunity so easily made them feel that their understanding of Shen Xu was still superficial.

In fact, Shen Xu's thoughts were not as complicated as everyone else thought, because he knew that no matter how earth-shattering his actions were in the Sword Selection, the Creation Stone Monument would not choose him.

His cultivation talent was too low, so low that it was difficult for him to break through to the Yuan Dan realm, let alone the higher Creation realm. Meanwhile, the cultivation talent of those cultivators who received titles was at least at the Earth Rank.

"Shen Xu, you should get some rest! Leave the Golden Rainbow Society to Zuo Chen and me," Xiao Ruohuang said with a smile.

Zuo Chen smiled and said, "Alright! Ruohuang, let's set off now and let the Golden Rainbow Society see the strength of our Green Wood Society."

At this moment, Qingyun sensed that the harmonious atmosphere had been restored and asked somewhat strangely, "Why do I feel like you're hiding something from me?"

"Stop overthinking. You'll be busy after we leave Kunyuan Palace!" Shen Xu ruffled Qingyun's hair, and Qingyun squinted her eyes in enjoyment, the flowers on her mask blooming quite a bit.

After Zuo Chen and Xiao Ruohuang left, Li Xiaoyi came to Shen Xu's side and asked curiously, "What is your real purpose?"

"Save Xingchuan Domain!" Shen Xu said slowly.

Li Xiaoyi looked at Shen Xu's profile and said with a light smile, "I believe you!"

"Hmm?" Shen Xu turned his head with some confusion to look at Li Xiaoyi, who had a smile on her face.

"But is it really right for you to treat Qingyun like this? She has no intention of saving Xingchuan Region!"

Shen Xu sighed and said, "In the face of the overwhelming trend, personal feelings are insignificant. Since Zuo Chen sees a future in her, I will choose to help her."

"Would you abandon me because of the general trend you mentioned? Just like you did for Sister Xueyi!" Li Xiaoyi asked nervously after hearing Shen Xu's words.

"How can you give up something you've never had?" Shen Xu said, frowning.

"Shen Xu, I need you to answer my question," Li Xiaoyi said, staring intently into Shen Xu's eyes.

"Don't even mention you guys, I could even give up the entire Xingchuan Domain!" Shen Xu replied calmly.

"Is giving up all you know how to do?!" Li Xiaoyi's tone turned icy.

Shen Xu reached out and grabbed Li Xiaoyi's smooth chin, staring fiercely at her beautiful face. His expression twisted with rage as he said, "What do you know! What business is it of yours?"

He then slowly released his grip on Li Xiaoyi's hand. "Sorry! You should stay away from me from now on!"

Watching Shen Xu's departing figure, Li Xiaoyi gently stroked the spot where Shen Xu's hand had touched, where the familiar warmth still lingered.

Even though Shen Xu's actions were so rough, she had no intention of resisting, and her heart was still pounding.

Moreover, she did not feel any pain, which means that Shen Xu's behavior just now was not due to emotional outburst, but rather an attempt to keep her away from him.

But Li Xiaoyi felt that Shen Xu's emotional outburst just now was not an act; she could genuinely feel the pain and struggle that Shen Xu had inadvertently revealed.

Shen Xu, who had already walked away, felt that Li Xiaoyi was right. Faced with the invasion of the Blood Fiend Palace, he had only one thought: to escape.

He placed his hopes on Zuo Chen and Qing Yun, but never thought of himself. Because as long as he placed his hopes on other people, he wouldn't have any psychological burden.

Even if Xingchuan Domain ultimately fails to survive the blood tide, he can still hold his head high and say, "I have done my best to help you. Your inability to save Xingchuan Domain is due to your lack of ability, and has nothing to do with me." Then he can escape to other major domains with a clear conscience.

But Shen Xu didn't think he had done anything wrong. The people of Xingchuan had nothing to do with him, and he had no reason to help so many strangers.

If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. He is just a nobody, and protecting Uncle Wang and the others is his greatest wish since his rebirth.
