"Young Master Situ, you hold a noble status and might not fully understand the situation of us ordinary disciples. While the upper echelon of the Divine Sect and those top-tier powerhouses may advance and retreat together for the greater good, among us lower-level disciples and various juniors, competition has always been extremely fierce."
He paused for a moment and lowered his voice.
"Take this instance of Secret Realm exploration, for example. Although there are strict orders from above not to harm you, Young Master Situ, or the elder beside you, thereโs no rule about amicable coexistence among us disciples of the Divine Sects.
In order to seize the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and cultivation technique legacy within the Secret Realm, backstabbing and treachery are commonplace, and even... those above often turn a blind eye, implicitly allowing a certain degree of โcasualtiesโ to exist. After all, resources are limited, and survival of the fittest prevails.
This kind of situation is almost a public secret among the Seventy-two Divine Sects."
Gu Sheng understood instantly upon hearing this.
It was akin to nurturing a gu, allowing disciples to compete and kill each other, with only the elite surviving. It seemed the survival law of the Southern Border Divine Sect was even more brutal and direct than he imagined.
Situ Qingfeng also revealed an understanding expression, his eyes shifting as a gentle smile appeared on his face, extending an invitation to those three disciples of the Purple Mist Divine Sect.
"I see, you all have gone through hardships. Since weโve met here, itโs fate.
The Secret Realm is full of dangers and acting alone might leave one vulnerable. How about we travel together? With Mr. Yun and me here, we can offer more security. If we encounter any ordinary opportunities or treasures along the way, I, Situ Qingfeng, will not compete with you three."
The three disciples were momentarily stunned upon hearing this, seemingly not expecting this noble Young Master Situ to be so affable and to actively invite them to join.
However, they reacted quickly, displaying expressions of startled delight and ecstasy!
This meant they could not only gain protection from two powerhouses, greatly increasing their safety, but also gain priority access to those ordinary resources overlooked by Young Master Situ! This was akin to a pie falling from the sky!
"We are willing! We are willing!"
The three eagerly nodded in agreement, their faces covered in grateful smiles, offering repeated compliments.
"Thank you, Young Master Situ, for your support! You are truly magnanimous, wise, and considerate of us!"
Situ Qingfeng was quite pleased with their reaction, lightly shaking the folding fan in his hand, adopting the posture of a noble family son, with a hint of indulgence, he said casually.
"No need for such formality. I have no interest in some of the ordinary items. If you need them, just take them.
As long as you are obedient and work well in the upcoming tasks, I will certainly not mistreat you, and there will be benefits for you."
"Yes, yes, yes! We will definitely follow Young Master Situโs lead! If you tell us to go east, we will definitely not head west!"
