Chapter 717: Two More Followers
Su Ling is only about 23 or 24 years old, but her ancient martial arts realm has already reached level 6. In an ordinary stronghold, this is definitely the level of a small strong man.
But here, these level 8 psychics are definitely no match for Su Ling. Even for the level 9 psychic, Jingtian believes that he is not completely sure of defeating Su Ling.
"As the leader here, do you have the heart to lead these people to live a better life?" Jingtian looked directly at Su Ling.
"No, I want to follow you with my brother. Please take us in. I'm willing to work like a slave for you." Su Ling shook her head decisively.
After Su Wuxian heard what his sister said, he actually nodded.
Jingtian's forehead darkened. This girl doesn't play by the rules!
Generally speaking, in situations like this, one should be humble first, then accept everyone's advice and praise, right?
Looking at Jingtian's appearance, Xuehua on the side couldn't help but laugh secretly.
In fact, Su Ling’s reaction was somewhat beyond Xuehua’s expectations.
Only then did Xuehua begin to look at the brother and sister seriously, otherwise she had only thought of them as strangers who had only met briefly.
"You don't have the confidence to manage well? Don't worry about that. I will give you absolute support and ensure that you can do the job well."
After being speechless for a moment, Jingtian still wanted to continue persuading Su Ling.
The truth is that if he sets up a safe house, this manager must be selected.
Recruiting Su Ling as a follower and then making her the leader is definitely the most suitable person.
However, even though Jingtian said this, Su Ling still shook her head and said, "Sir, it's not that I don't have the confidence to manage it well, but I really don't want to stay here. I beg you to take me in."
"Please take us in, sir. Su Wuxian kowtows to you."
After Su Wuxian finished speaking, he broke free from Su Ling's support and was about to kneel down again.
"Why are you so resistant to staying here? You should believe Jingtian. If he lets you stay, he will definitely let you live a very good life." Xuehua couldn't help but interrupt out of curiosity.
The brother and sister glanced at the snowflakes, then at each other. Su Ling said, "This place is a nightmare for us. We will never be able to get out of the shadow if we stay here."
"This is a very good reason. This princess has nothing to say."
When Xuehua heard Su Ling's reason, she shrugged and no longer had any intention of helping to persuade her.
Jingtian naturally listened carefully. If he continued to persuade him, it would be a bit too much to ask.
It is not difficult to see that Su Ling has a relatively strong personality, and such people often have particularly strong self-esteem.
But this really put Jingtian in a difficult position.
"Lord Jing, please accept us. I can really do anything." Seeing Jingtian's hesitant expression, Su Wuxian begged again.
At this time, Su Ling pulled her brother slightly.
From her subtle movements, it can be seen that the girl has begged twice and does not want to beg for a third time.
"Well, we do have a great affinity. Su Ling, are you willing to be my follower?"
Jingtian noticed Su Ling's little action, smiled bitterly in his heart, and asked.
"Su Ling is willing. Su Ling has met the adults."
When Su Ling heard Jingtian's words, a hint of happiness flashed in her eyes and she knelt down directly to Jingtian.
Su Wuxian had just stood up, but was led by his sister to kneel down again, imitating Su Ling's actions and calling Jingtian.
"Su Wuxian..."
bite!
Jingtian originally wanted to let Su Wuxian get up. He wanted to accept Su Ling but never thought of accepting Su Wuxian. After all, the little boy was only eight or nine years old. With Su Ling around, Jingtian would agree to keep him by his side.
However, before Jingtian could finish his words, the system's prompt sound actually came into his consciousness.
"Congratulations to the host for gaining two followers again. The current number of followers is sixteen. Please continue to work hard."
Jingtian blinked. The system actually directly acknowledged Su Wuxian’s following?
"Get up, and just call me sir from now on."
The system has acknowledged it, and Jingtian cannot directly eliminate Su Wuxian, the ninja said to the two helplessly.
"Yes, sir."
The brother and sister understood each other tacitly and changed their words at the same time. Then Su Ling stood up and helped her brother up.
"Sir, I am willing to follow you and be at your service!"
Just as Su Ling and her brother stood up, the level 9 psychic who had been nominated earlier suddenly stepped forward and knelt down, expressing his intention to follow Jingtian with a pious look on his face.
The bandwagon effect happened again. As soon as this level 9 psychic finished his performance, the people with special abilities behind him knelt down in a large group, shouting and swearing to follow Jingtian.
Jingtian's forehead darkened, and he waved his hand to control everyone to stand up.
If we don't stop them, the ordinary survivors over there will follow suit and kneel down to pledge allegiance.
Fortunately, the system did not recognize any of them this time, which made Jingtian feel relieved.
Although Jingtian hopes to complete the mission of his followers, he will never accept anyone just because they pledge allegiance to him.
"You don't have to be like this. The Su siblings and I have some kind of fate, so I accepted them. You just stay and live a good life. The environment and supplies here are fine as long as you maintain your original state. If the supplies are really insufficient, you can go to the northern cities to trade..."
Although Jingtian will not accept these people and will not set up a safe house, he will not completely ignore these people.
After saying a lot, here is the key point.
Jingtian told these people the news of several safe houses in the north, and that they could use gold and crystal cores to exchange for a large amount of food and supplies.
There are vehicles in the south, which is actually not difficult to do, and the south is actually very rich, with gold and more crystal cores.
This is all Jingtian could do. He saved them and pointed out a path for long-term development for them. He had definitely done the most.
Finally, under the wailing pleas of a group of people, Jingtian took the Su siblings and Xuehua directly onto the God of War. Ao Shui led the way and walked directly through the crowd.
The people from city Y behind wanted to catch up and see them off, but they found that they could not move at all and could only watch the Ares disappear from their sight.
Inside the Ares, the Su siblings were naturally shocked after getting on board. This was basically the common reaction of everyone who got on the Ares for the first time.
"By the way, where is Jiang Da who lives in the same corridor with you guys?" Jingtian now thought of the Jiang Da with a broken leg whom he had had contact with before.
When Jingtian mentioned Jiang Da, the brother and sister fell silent, which made Jingtian raise his eyebrows and a bad premonition arose.
"They killed everyone in our corridor. We saw it with our own eyes, including Aunt Yuan who was already in her sixties. They... were worse than animals!"
Su Ling said through gritted teeth after a moment of silence.
Jingtian raised his eyebrows and basically guessed the situation at that time. It must be that the evil members used Jiang Da and that old lady as tools for practicing martial arts.
Fortunately, this brother and sister were lucky enough to escape the disaster.
Jingtian didn't ask any more questions and just said a few words of comfort. Su Wuxian was still very weak and needed to rest from his injuries. Jingtian had other things on his mind, so he didn't chat much with the siblings.
After communicating with Xuehua, he asked her to take the siblings back to the dimension.
With Xuehua following them, it would be easier to introduce the siblings to other people in the dimensional space. From then on, this big family would have two more members.
After making arrangements for the Su siblings, Jingtian thought for a moment and put away the God of War.
"Sir, this direction seems to be a bit off the route outside the country." Ao Shui said to Jingtian as soon as he saw Jingtian coming out.
Originally, the route to get outside the country was to go through Y city and head south, but Jingtian changed the route to the east. Although you can cross the border by going straight, it will deviate a lot from the original route.
"I know, I'm going to Li City. There is a person there who is very important to me." Jingtian's tone suddenly became low.
