I Am the Source of Darkness, Causing Chaos in the Eternal Heavens

Chapter 51 A Different Approach, Do I Seem Like a Bad Person? (3)

Seeing this, Zhao Shao Yue and Wang Yu grew even more nervous, feeling the temperature around them drop as the killing intent thickened.

They had just witnessed the terrifying power of these cultivators. The knights who had chased them for so long were slain in an instant.

Jiang Minghan glanced at the two of them, his expression unchanged, and said calmly, “Everyone has their secrets. I have no grievances with them. Let them go.”

He hadn’t expected the children of fortune in this world to be so abundant. Even in such a situation, he had encountered two children of fortune.

From their conversation, Jiang Minghan had roughly guessed their origins.

Although he didn’t know where they had come from, it seemed that Wang Yu, ranked as the number one mercenary, had returned home to find her friend. During a trip, their plane had crashed, landing them in a primeval forest in this world.

They had crossed the forest and arrived in a forbidden zone, where they had obtained many valuable items.

Because of this, they had been pursued by the Huan Yan Ancient Sect.

However, their cultivation was too low for Jiang Minghan to consider keeping them.

But he kept this in mind, having a premonition that he would meet them again in the future.

The growth rate of children of fortune, blessed by the heavens, was astonishing.

It wouldn’t be long before they stirred up great events.

Saving them today was both an investment and a way to cultivate a long-term relationship.

Jiang Minghan had noticed that binding with low-level prodigies had limited benefits for him.

Even Su Mingyue, except for the initial techniques and abilities she learned, provided minimal feedback when she broke through realms.

Jiang Minghan speculated that it was because his own cultivation was too high.

So, he decided to take a different approach.

He had already left a divine sense mark on the two girls, ensuring he could find them later.

Moreover, killing them now and seizing their treasures and secrets would only provide temporary gains.

Jiang Minghan, though not considering himself a good person, was not a cruel villain either. The two girls had no enmity with him.

In terms of value, the opportunities they would encounter during their growth were what Jiang Minghan valued. Draining them dry or killing them for immediate gain was short-sighted.

“Yes, Master.”

Hearing Jiang Minghan’s decision, his followers had no more to say.

Zhao Shao Yue and Wang Yu were stunned. They hadn’t expected Jiang Minghan to let them go, even knowing they had secrets.

This was unlike the cultivators they had encountered so far, who would stop at nothing to uncover their secrets.

For a moment, they felt a great sense of relief.

Perhaps after meeting so many bad people, encountering Jiang Minghan, a “good person,” was a first for them.

“Immortal brother, you’re not going to kill us?” Zhao Shao Yue blinked her bright eyes, her curiosity piqued.

Her expression made her look a bit dazed, as if she hadn’t fully grasped the situation.

Wang Yu also looked at Jiang Minghan with great curiosity.

Frankly, after coming to this world, it was her first time seeing such a perfect man.

She had never believed in perfection, but now she saw it—like a legendary banished immortal, flawless and transcendent, especially when he had floated under the moon earlier, appearing otherworldly.

His appearance and demeanor were impeccable. If she had to describe him, it would be as an immortal who consumed the essence of the universe, just as described in ancient texts.

Moreover, his actions were unlike those of ordinary cultivators, who would resort to any means to uncover their secrets.

This matched her understanding of an immortal perfectly.

“Do I seem like a bad person?” Jiang Minghan asked, looking at Zhao Shao Yue with a smile.

Zhao Shao Yue quickly shook her head, smiling, her little tiger teeth showing, “No, immortal brother is so handsome, you can’t be a bad person.”

That was her honest opinion. In any world, people often adored good looks.

“This girl knows how to talk,” Chu Xuan, Tian Mingzi, and the other followers laughed, finding the little girl, despite her dirty appearance, quite endearing.

“Thank you for saving our lives today. Wang Yu and Zhao Shao Yue will never forget it. If we ever have the chance, we will find a way to repay you,” Wang Yu said sincerely, knowing Zhao Shao Yue’s friendly nature, but still gently patting her and thanking Jiang Minghan.

“Yes, Shao Yue will always remember immortal brother’s kindness,” Zhao Shao Yue quickly added, expressing her gratitude.

Jiang Minghan waved his hand lightly, saying, “I don’t need your thanks. Saving you was just a casual act, finding you interesting.”

After that, he said no more, a cloud of mist rose beneath his feet, and he left with his followers.

He never asked about Zhao Shao Yue and Wang Yu’s circumstances, nor even their names.

It was as if saving their lives was but a trivial matter, an act done with ease and without seeking recognition.

“Immortal brother, I don’t even know your name…” Zhao Shao Yue mustered the courage to shout.

But to her disappointment, Jiang Minghan either didn’t hear or didn’t care, disappearing into the night sky without responding.

“Shao Yue, we’ve encountered a benefactor today,” Wang Yu said, still in a daze, looking at the sky where Jiang Minghan had vanished.

She had been prepared to fight the pursuing cultivators to the death but hadn’t expected things to turn out this way.

It was like a dream, too surreal.

“But I don’t know his name. How will we repay him?” Zhao Shao Yue said, feeling troubled.

“Such a person, do you think he will be unknown in this world? Even if you promise to repay him, he might take it as a joke. What you need to do now is to cultivate diligently and change your lazy nature,” Wang Yu advised earnestly.

The man had acted honorably, knowing they had secrets or treasures, yet he showed no greed.

In some sense, this indicated his indifference to such things, likely due to his high status.

They didn’t plan to attach themselves to Jiang Minghan. After all, they were mere acquaintances, and whether he would accept them was uncertain.

Moreover, while Jiang Minghan might not care about their secrets, what about his family?
