A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6171

"So that's how it is..."

She drew in a deep breath, then forced herself to her feet and gave Jared a deep bow.

"Thank you, Young Lord, for saving my life. Evelyn has no way to repay you now, but if there's ever a chance in the future, I will repay this great kindness no matter what it takes."

Jared waved a hand. "No need. Let's get out of here first."

The moment he finished speaking, a sharp tearing sound suddenly came from the distance.

Jared's brow tightened, and he looked up.

Several streaks of white light came tearing across the horizon, fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, they stopped above the forest.

As the streaks of light faded, five figures appeared.

At the front stood a middle-aged man in a white robe with a golden lotus embroidered on his chest. It was the same man who had tested Jared's bloodline earlier.

Behind him were four cultivators in fitted combat clothes. Every one of them carried a sharp, cutting presence, and all of them were between High Immortal Realm Level Seven and Level Eight.

The middle-aged man looked at Jared and Evelyn, a cold smile spreading across his face.

"Young Master Chance, what are you doing? The Vice Preceptor told you to take Evelyn away to rest, so why did you bring her out to this wilderness?"

Jared looked at him quietly, then smiled faintly. "I happen to enjoy doing it in the wild. Don't you think dual cultivation out here in the mountains is more exciting?"

The middle-aged man went still. He clearly hadn't expected Jared to answer like that.

Evelyn's face flushed too. Those three words, doing it in the wild, landed like a slap.

"Fine. Then we'll stand here and watch the two of you cultivate together. Go on. Get started."

the middle-aged man said.

Jared let out a cold laugh. "But I don't like people watching me cultivate. Let me ask you something. If your father and mother were cultivating together, would they like being watched?"

"You..."

The middle-aged man's brow furrowed. He pressed his fury down and said, "Young Master Chance, the Vice Preceptor has treated you well. He gave Evelyn to you, and he even arranged a quiet room for you. Yet you brought her out here and tried to run. What exactly is that supposed to mean?"

He paused, then let his gaze fall on Evelyn. Something vicious flashed through his eyes.

"Evelyn, you've got a lot of nerve! The Vice Preceptor bestowed the Bridefire Elixir on you because he thought highly of you. Yet you colluded with an outsider and tried to flee. You really don't know what's good for you!"

Evelyn's face turned deathly pale. She took an involuntary step back and hid behind Jared.

Jared moved in front of her and blocked her from view. He said nothing.

Seeing Jared stay silent, the middle-aged man took it for fear, and the sneer on his face deepened.

"Young Master Chance, you're only High Immortal Realm Level Three. In front of me, you're nothing but an ant. If you know what's good for you, surrender now and come back with me. Kneel before the Vice Preceptor and admit your mistake, and maybe you'll still be spared. But if you don't..."

He lifted a hand. Spiritual power gathered in his palm, spilling out a fierce pressure.

"Then don't blame me for getting rough!"

Jared looked at him, and all at once, he smiled.
