Han Hao was in a good mood, he got the Dragon King Peach Tea, Han Guang got to have a fun fight so she stopped pestering him for one, he finally got to see a true system in action and it conveniently fit their current mission.
He alerted his father who laughed his ass of at their luck, the system turned out to be a genuine one although it wasn’t a killing based system but a sect based one, leave it to to cultivators to always choose the most homicidal way possible even though it’s inefficient.
The tavern he was currently on was about 3000 kilometers away from their landing spot, and he was only at the edge of civilization, ‘when I said a weak area I didn’t mean this, father really likes trolling me doesn’t he?’.
Han Hao paid for the bland food he ate and got out of the tavern A smile on his face, he started walking towards the caravan heading for a cliff wind city, he got himself a job as a guard for showing a semi decent cultivation base.
He should have really fully read the report, this place is really weird for a lower world, everyone cultivates, the number of spiritual beasts with awareness was really high, people above spirit formation can’t enter.
A smile bloomed in his face as he thought about their encounter with the wolves and the rabbit, xianxia bullshit never ceases to amazed, finally after 20 years of tireless cultivation he is in a lower world, alone with his friends, with no sect to protect them, no wealth to help them, no father to rely on as a crutch, ‘This is going to be so much fun!’
*********************************************************************************
‘This is boring’
Han Hao was riding on a horse besides a carriage, not any carriage it seems, it turns out he showed to a high a cultivating base so he got appointed him to protect someone important, oops.
But it was still boring, nothing happened for a few days, except sleeping with the woman from the carriage, but who cared about that, there were no bandits, no beasts, no hidden experts, no mcs, no young masters causing trouble, it was far too ordinary for his taste.
“You are surrounded, drop you weapons, and hand us your valuables”
“It’s the red beard bandits, guards surround lady li’s carriage” The man driving the carriage besides Han Hao shouted on the top of his voice.
“Finally!”
Han Hao instead of listening, launched himself of his horse and landed in front of the front carriage and looked around, he only saw on woman pointing a sword at it, he took a fighting stance and waited for the woman to attack.
And waited.
And waited.
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
And waited.
“…………….”
The traders and the travelers “……………..”
“So when are you going to attack”
“Kid, you didn’t react with fear when the name of my bandits group came up, and you jumped to fight with excitement, maybe you are an idiot, maybe you are really good at bluffing or maybe you could really take us all, the point is I didn’t live this long by taking on chances I don’t have to, so goodbye” The bandit boss turned around and started leaving.
“A smart bandit how rare, how about I offer you a deal, since you actually have common sense which is rarer than the name suggests, why don’t you work for me?” Han Hao cheerily offered.
“Why would I?” the bandit boss question amused.
“Since someone like you is a bandit I assume it’s from circumstance you can’t control, even it’s not, it’s because I will offer you a deal you can’t resist” Han Hao untied a small sack and threw it towards the boss.
The boss caught it and gazed at it with suspicion before calling a subordinate and ordering him to open it, who did it without question a testament to his loyalty or idiocy .
“Boss the sack are filled with high grade qi gathering pills” the subordinate whispered hurriedly.
The boss took the sack and looked inside, her eyes widened just a bit, before closing it again, “And how is this exactly a deal I can’t resist, even if the quality is quite high, just by robbing a caravan I would get 100s of times the amount”
“This isn’t the pay of the whole group; this is your pay for a single day under me” Han Hao pointed at the boss of the bandits.
From Han Hao’s perspective people with common sense are quite rare in the cultivation world, plus he needed some people to run errands for him, Han Heng was of building a sect with the rabbit, but who knew how long would that take, Han Guang was out looking for core disciples with the wolves, and he was here to get money.
“Sure if you can pay as much you say you can I don’t mind” the boss walked over towards Han Hao with a smile on her face extending a hand
The bandits around her just shrugged they were used to their boss’ behaviour.
Han Hao shook her hand “Deal”.
“What the fuck just happened” the guard leader’s, Wei Zhiqiang mouth was open wide
**********************************************************************************
“Dude, what the fuck did you do?” Wei Zhiqiang asked Han Hao, once the group finished setting camp, the bandits of course camped quite far from the main one.
“I just got some subordinates” Han Hao nonchalantly responded, as he was cooking a fish he caught
“Aren’t you worried the bandits will betray you? You just showed them you have a lot of money? Why wouldn’t they just take it from you?” the guard leader asked from concern, although he as only with Han Hao for a few days he rather liked him.
“Don’t worry, the leader probably guessed if I can deliver on that promise I am either a rich young master who she can’t offend, or an alchemist who she can’t offend or a l am lying then she can just kill me and leave” Han Hao’s finished cooking his fish and took a bite ‘Bland’ a smile appeared on his face again at the taste.
“And which one are you?” the guard leader asked amused.
“A bit from column A and a bit from column B”
“An alchemist young master, what blasphemy are you spouting? Young masters are far too useless” Wei responded jokingly.
“You are courting death!” Han Hao said mockingly.
“I don’t dare young master I don’t dare, please forgive this lowly servant” wei bowed dramatically.
“You want a fish wei” Han Hao asked as he finished cooking two.
“No!” wei refused immediately.
“Why?” Han Hao asked quizzically.
“You kind suck at cooking” wei bluntly responded.
“………………….”
“What! you know I am right” wei added
“Being right doesn’t mean you have to tell me that, you can sugar coat it you know”
“Suuuuure, but you get to tell me how my sword play is subpar at best”
“Of course, I am a young master, remember double standards are the name of the game”
At the end of the night somehow Han Hao got wei Zhiqiang to eat one of his fishes.
Wei Zhiqiang’s puked almost immediately, but hey Han Hao got a laugh out of it
**********************************************************************************
The next week, Near city Cliff Wind,
“So, how exactly are you going to get us in, boss, we are wanted bandits after all” The red haired bandait boss asked, a bit mockingly.
“Eh, don’t worry I got you pardons, you are fairly low level threats and you didn’t wantonly kill so it’s quite easy”
“How did you exactly achieve that, maybe something to do with that li woman you are sleeping with”
“Yup!”
“……………….”
“boss you don’t just admit things like that, you should at least pretend it’s something else”
“Why? It’s really how I got you the pardons” Han Hao asked pretending to be clueless.
“……………………..” The red head bandit leader, Shao Ting, face palmed at her ‘What the fuck did I get myself into?’
“A lot of fun” Han Hao responded
“Did you just read my thoughts?”
“Maybe, maybe not, who knows really?” Han Hao cackled as made his way to the city gates.
