Gods: Start with Goblins

Perhaps sensing Luo Dan's presence, Pei Sheng, who was originally sitting on a large rock under the waterfall, slowly opened his eyes, and in the mist he saw Luo Dan, who had come out of retreat and reached the sage realm.

His face immediately lit up with joy, and he collected the money and went to Luodan.

"Captain Luo, you are finally out of seclusion. During the past six months that you have been training, I have also been training at the foot of this mountain. Now I have reached the fifth floor of the Holy Throne."

The last time I saw him, he was still at the fourth level of the Holy Throne. It only took him half a year of seclusion to reach the fifth level of the Holy Throne. This speed of cultivation cannot be underestimated. He can be regarded as a genius.

"I didn't expect you to come here. I'm afraid you will get a lot of military merit in this battle. Why don't you stay in the army?"

Luo Dan watched him come closer, not caring about the water stains all over his body.

"Yes, this time His Majesty wanted to give me a captain position, but I knew I was not qualified for it, and I wanted to follow you, so I declined."

Luo Dan was somewhat surprised by Pei Sheng's answer.

He never expected that after the emperor offered him better treatment, he would actually refuse it, just because he wanted to follow him.

He thought for a while without saying anything. After a moment, he looked at Pei Sheng and spoke slowly.

"But you and I haven't had much contact. Why would you give up your future just to follow me? If you go back now, maybe the emperor will let you stay in the army."

These are the words that Luo Dan wanted to say from the bottom of his heart. He was very nice to Pei Sheng.

He also knew that if he went to the upper realm in the future and Pei Sheng could not follow him, wouldn't he be ruining his future?

After Luo Dan expressed his concerns, Pei Sheng took a step forward and firmly expressed his wishes.

"Since I have chosen to follow you, Captain, I will definitely follow you well. When I was in the army, no one else understood me, nor were they willing to understand me. Only you believed that I definitely did not betray the army."

Speaking of this, Pei Sheng, a man who doesn't shed tears easily, had tears in his eyes.

He didn't know how to express his gratitude.

But the moment Luodan said he believed him, he really felt that the person in front of him was the one who understood him best.

So after the demon clan's conspiracy was resolved, his desire to follow Lordan became stronger and stronger, and he even asked the emperor to leave.

The emperor knew the relationship between him and Luo Dan, so he didn't make things difficult for him. He gave Pei Sheng some compensation and let him go.

After leaving the army, Pei Sheng's first thing was to find out where Luo Dan had gone.

As he searched, he found the City Lord's Mansion, and learned that Luo Dan was practicing in seclusion, so he followed him to the back mountain to practice.

After listening to his experiences during this period, Luo Dan was sure that he wanted to follow him.

If I don't agree to him, what will he do in the future?
I absolutely cannot be such a treacherous person.

So he patted Pei Sheng on the shoulder and agreed.

"Okay, then you can follow me from now on. I think you have great talent, but let me make it clear first. I'm going to the upper realm in the future, and I hope you can work hard to go with me."

Pei Sheng had no attachment to this world, and he also hoped that he could become stronger, so after hearing about Luo Dan's ambition, he agreed without any hesitation.

"Okay, that's exactly what I was thinking. I hope to follow in your footsteps, Captain."

The two of them walked towards the City Lord's Mansion while talking.

Luo Dan and Lin Feixue had always been very close before, so Pei Sheng naturally thought that they were a couple who had not yet made their relationship clear.

He thought of recent events, felt a little worried, and glanced at Luo Dan.

Luodan was very keenly aware of his gaze and looked back with some confusion.

Unexpectedly, Luo Dan was so perceptive. Pei Sheng hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"After I decided to follow you, I left the army and found Captain Lin to ask about your whereabouts. At that time, I seemed to hear that she was being pursued by someone else. Captain Luo, you..." Aren't you worried?
Before he could finish his words, Luo Dan laughed out loud.

"That's good. Maybe she can find her own happiness."

Hearing Luo Dan say these words so calmly, Pei Sheng suddenly realized that maybe he just thought they were a couple.

But this is not the case.

Luodan didn't care, and he certainly wouldn't think about those things. He nodded and followed Luodan back to the City Lord's Mansion.

But the City Lord's Mansion is not as peaceful as imagined.

Because in the martial arts training compound, Lin Feixue was sitting there angrily with his hands on his hips.

Next to her there was a man who looked okay, but not outstanding.

"Feixue, let's go back quickly. There's nothing here. You said that person you like has never shown up. Maybe he's afraid of me and doesn't dare to come out."

When Li Feilong said this, a hint of pride appeared on his face, and then he continued to belittle Luo Dan.

"If I were to see it, he must have known that I was the one pursuing you, so he didn't dare to come out."

Lin Feixue didn't expect Li Feilong to be so shameless. A hint of surprise appeared on her face, followed by deep disgust.

"Li Feilong, can you not be so self-righteous? His realm is much higher than yours, and he will never be afraid of a villain like you. He is just in seclusion and hasn't come out yet!"

The noise grew louder and louder, and Luo Dan went to the compound with a raised eyebrow.

Lin Feixue's eyes lit up when she saw Luo Dan. She stood up immediately and walked quickly to Luo Dan without paying any attention to Li Feilong beside her.

"Lodan, you are finally here!"

Luo Dan looked at Lin Feixue, then at Li Feilong who was standing beside her with a sullen look on his face, and he finally understood what was going on.

Unable to bear it any longer, Lin Feixue turned around and looked at Li Feilong, clenching his fists and trying to suppress the anger in his voice.

"Yes, you saw it, this is the person I like. I hope you won't bother me anymore. There is no possibility between the two of us!"

Lin Feixue spoke decisively and resolutely, for she was afraid that Li Feilong would have some unrealistic fantasies in the future.

She didn't know when she had provoked Li Feilong, and he had to come outside the sect to say that he liked her.

Lin Feixue was caught off guard by everything.

Li Feilong looked at Luo Dan with gritted teeth. He did not listen to the belittlement in Lin Feixue's words. He pointed at Luo Dan's facade and shouted loudly.

"Let's have a fight if you dare! I don't believe that a stinky boy like you who can't even keep his clothes clean can be any good!"

Luo Dan was somewhat amused.

He has already mastered the ability to control his breath freely, so he will not easily expose his realm in front of other people, and the same is true in front of Li Feilong now.

So Li Feilong was so ignorant that he wanted to challenge me in a one-on-one fight.

Luo Dan did not refuse and spread his hands.

"This is what you said, don't regret it."

The two of them soon walked onto the martial arts stage in front of everyone.

This martial arts training platform is usually used by the city lord and others for sparring, so the materials used in its construction are also of high quality.

Anyway, under normal circumstances it is absolutely impossible to destroy the martial arts platform.

Going to the martial arts training stage, Li Feilong took out a long sword shining with golden light.

As soon as the long sword appeared in front of everyone, Luodan already smelled the scent of money.

It seems that he is a rich young man from a wealthy sect who can use such good weapons.

But he is not weak either, although the two powerful men from the previous session may still be secretly paying attention to him, so he cannot use the inheritance of Blood Nineteen.

But in addition to those inherited items, he also got a silver-blue spear from the emperor's armory.

The long spear appeared, and the air was instantly filled with a hint of cold air. Although Li Feilong had thought that Luo Dan would use a good weapon, he did not expect that it was a weapon that made him a little scared just by taking it out.

This made him have his own guess. Maybe Luodan was also from some reclusive family, but he had never seen him before.

The two men set off at the same time. After advancing to the Saint Realm, Luodan had never fought against anyone else.

Although the Li Feilong in front of him was only at the fifth level of the Holy Throne, he was not prepared to take it lightly when fighting against Li Feilong.

A golden sword and a silver-blue spear collided with each other, making a clanging sound, which shocked the others watching the fight nearby.

The moment the weapons collided, Li Feilong's knuckles became numb from the shock.

He suddenly looked up and realized that the man in front of him was definitely not as simple as he had thought before. But since he had already made his promise, if he lost face in front of his goddess now, he would not be able to face Lin Feixue again in the future.

At first, Luo Dan just wanted to play with him and didn't care too much. However, after finding out Li Feilong's background and fighting style were too radical and sharp, Luo Dan lost interest.

He no longer entangled with Li Feilong, but instead defeated his enemy and put his spear against Li Feilong's neck.

The front end of the spear emitted a cold light, just like Luo Dan at this moment, with no expression on his face, only a look of indifference.

Li Feilong swallowed his saliva, and a drop of cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He looked at Luo Dan fearfully, realizing that Luo Dan was someone he could not afford to offend.

So when Ji E clenched his fist fiercely, he looked at Luo Dan and made a harsh statement.

"Just wait, next time you will definitely be defeated by me and cry and beg me to spare your life!"

Lin Feixue rolled her eyes when she heard what Li Feilong said. She didn't know where Li Feilong got his confidence from to be so shameless.

"roll."

Luo Dan just uttered this one word lightly, and Li Feilong, who was about to say something else, suddenly felt a chill surrounding his body.

He didn't dare to stay here any longer and left the City Lord's Mansion without looking back.

Luo Dan felt uncomfortable watching such a person of bad character harassing Lin Feixue.

Although he didn't have that intention towards Lin Feixue, after experiencing all these things, he had already regarded Lin Feixue as his friend.

"When I just came out of confinement, I heard Pei Sheng say that someone seemed to be pursuing you, but I didn't expect it to be someone like this. Have you thought about what to do in the future?"

Hearing Luo Dan say this, Lin Feixue was also very distressed. She frowned tightly and her voice was full of annoyance.

"I don't know, but their sect is quite powerful. Although no one in the sect dares to do anything to me, I have to go out someday, and I can't afford to offend his sect."

Luo Dan hesitated to speak. After all, this was Lin Feixue's business. He could be worried about it, but it would not be good to interfere.

He wanted to say something else when he suddenly heard a sweet and clear voice, which was as bright as the singing of an oriole.

"Brother Luodan, I'm here to see you. Are you out of seclusion?"

The princess, dressed in gorgeous clothes, elegant and beautiful, appeared in front of Luo Dan. Luo Dan did not expect that the princess would come to see him, and for a moment he did not know what to do.
But he soon reacted and quickly saluted the princess.

"I have met Her Highness the Princess."

The princess generously and naturally waived his gift and her eyes fell on Lin Feixue beside Luo Dan.

However, the moment their eyes met, the atmosphere suddenly became sour.

"I didn't expect that a woman had come to see you, Brother Luodan, before me. Brother Luodan is really popular."

There was a hint of grievance in the princess' voice, and if you listened carefully, it even sounded a little bit harsh, which gave Luo Dan goose bumps.

Lin Feixue naturally did not want to be outdone. Although she knew that the woman in front of her was a princess, so what?
"Yes, not only did I come to see Luo Dan when he came out of retreat, I also often came to the City Lord's Mansion before he came out of retreat. Unlike you, Princess, if I remember correctly, this is your first time to come to the City Lord's Mansion, right? Aren't you here just for Luo Dan's return?"

Hearing Lin Feixue say this, the princess pouted slightly, but soon returned to normal, as if the scene just now was just an illusion.

"Yes, of course I came here for Luo Dan. Would I come here for another man?"

Hearing the two people being jealous openly or secretly, Luo Dan was overwhelmed and immediately stopped them from behaving like this.

"Alright, alright, no need to say any more. I just came out of seclusion. Princess, if you want to see me for anything, just tell me first."

The princess glanced at Lin Feixue proudly, as if in her eyes she and Luo Dan were getting closer.

Lin Feixue and Luo Dan are just comrades-in-arms.

"I heard that Brother Luodan has come out of retreat, so I brought some elixirs with me, hoping to help you consolidate your realm."

Since it was the princess's kindness, Luo Dan couldn't refuse and accepted it. He also gave the princess some pills he had made himself.

For him, it was clear that the two were exchanged.

But in the eyes of the two women, this was not the case. This back and forth was more like a gift between lovers.

Lin Feixue, who had nothing in her hands, felt a little helpless.

She quickly thought of how to confront the princess.

"I think it's unnecessary for Princess to give you these. After all, Luo Dan is an alchemist himself. Maybe the quality of the pills he makes is much better than what you give me, Princess."

This is true. Most of the pills made by Luodan are of grandmaster level, and are hard to come by outside.

Although what the princess gave was very good, it was indeed a little worse than what Luodan practiced himself.

The princess was obviously a connoisseur. She understood that what Lin Feixue said was right, but it was at least a token of his appreciation.

So the open and secret struggles between the two are about to begin again.

Luo Dan looked at the smoky and foul atmosphere and immediately waved his hands while covering his head.

"Forget it, forget it. I just came out of retreat and need to consolidate my realm. Pei Sheng and I will go out for a walk. Please do as you please. I believe the city lord can take you to appreciate the local customs and practices here."

After Luo Dan finished speaking, he took Pei Sheng and fled.

The two of them flew on their swords and went quite far before landing on an open space on the top of a mountain.

Luo Dan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Really? I don't know what's so fussy about. Let's just come out and have some peace and quiet."

It’s not true to say that Luodan doesn’t know how to appreciate the blessings he has.

After all, with Luodan's talent and strength, Pei Sheng believes that there will be many people who can match Luodan in the future.

Although Lin Feixue and the princess are both the best in their current world, they are still not as good as the women in the upper realm.

Seeing that Pei Sheng didn't say anything, Luo Dan suddenly wanted to see his progress during this period.

Pei Sheng cooperated very well and practiced sword in the open space.

While watching him practice swordplay, Luo Dan compared the moves he had learned and those taught by Blood Nineteen in his dream, pointed out some flaws and mistakes, and guided him to improve.

Pei Sheng did not disappoint Luo Dan's expectations. He learned it after being taught only once, which made Luo Dan very pleased.

"That's great. The future is promising, brother. Come on, let's go for a walk."

The two were walking and talking when Luo Dan heard a subtle sound. He stopped walking and listened carefully.

Pei Sheng's hearing was not as good as Luo Dan's, and he wondered why Luo Dan suddenly stopped.

Luo Dan walked quickly towards a small path, and Pei Sheng followed him. When they arrived at the place, they found that a group of bandits were robbing people.

"Please spare my life, guys. I will give you all the money you want. I have parents and children to support. I can't afford to lose my life!"

A wealthy-looking and well-dressed man is begging for mercy from the bandits. (End of this chapter)
