Is there any kind of giving without expecting anything in return?
This issue may be difficult to discuss clearly.
But at least in today's world of cultivation where the strong are respected, the answer is most likely no.
Wei Changtian did not know the price Qin Zhengqiu paid to help him, nor did he know that Qin Zhengqiu did not believe his story of "meeting an immortal in a dream".
He couldn't guess what Qin Zhengqiu was really thinking, but he didn't need to know that.
Because Wei Changtian himself has always believed in "what you pay must be rewarded".
Qiu Yun treats him wholeheartedly, so he is willing to kill the prime minister for a maid.
Yang Liushi has paid a lot for himself, so he is willing to take risks and go to the top of Yanyun Mountain to save others.
Zhang San is his right-hand man, so he is willing to take the trouble to solve the marriage issues for him...
Now that Qin Zhengqiu has also helped him, if the Tianluo Sect needs it in the future, he will try his best to return this favor.
As for those who have nothing to do with him... Ning Qingyu, whose family was brutally wiped out, is an example.
Wei Changtian believed that he did not have the consciousness that "a great chivalrous person serves the country and the people", and he never wanted to be a hero like Xiao Feng who saves the world.
He could even kill such a hero directly for himself.
Call it selfish or narrow-minded.
Since you are not the protagonist in the first place, then do less things that only the protagonist would do.
To put it simply, it’s just six words——
Mind your own business and live longer.
"Sir, there are bandits in front of you chasing a woman."
The carriage was speeding on the way back to Shuzhou City from Jiuding Mountain, and Zhang San's voice came into the carriage from the front.
"That woman seems to have practiced some martial arts, and she is running towards us now."
"Um?"
Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment and asked: "Does she run faster or does the carriage run faster?"
"Hurry up the carriage."
"Okay, go around."
...
"Help!"
"help me!"
A woman wearing an embroidered skirt ran straight towards the speeding carriage, followed closely by a group of fierce bandits.
As Zhang San said, this woman is a cultivator, but she has just entered the ninth level.
This situation is actually not uncommon, especially in the homes of many wealthy families.
If the female relatives of these families can practice cultivation, their families will often help them cultivate to the ninth level.
One is that it can strengthen the body and prolong life, and the other is that it will make it easier to marry into a good family in the future.
Of course, there are also people like Liang Qin and Xu Qingwan who have completely embarked on the road of martial arts training, but generally speaking, they are still a minority.
Most women have basically achieved their goals if they can reach the ninth level, and they are not prepared to continue on the path of cultivation.
This woman right now clearly falls into this category.
"Help!!"
"There are bandits chasing me, please save me!"
The carriage in sight was getting closer and closer, and so were the bandits behind him.
Although the woman is unkempt and her hair is disheveled, if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that her figure and appearance are of the highest quality.
"Jie Jie Jie Jie! Little lady, give up! Who the hell dares to go against the Golden Knife Sect in Shuzhou?!"
"Grandson in the car, listen, if you dare to save anyone, I will kill you all!"
"Hahaha, get out of here, get out of here! Don't delay my enjoyment!"
"..."
The bandits were chasing and shouting wildly, but their steps were slightly slower, as if they were quite afraid of the carriage.
This is normal. After all, if a normal person knew that there was a group of bandits doing evil in front of them, they would most likely not rush over blankly.
The woman seemed to understand this, her eyes instantly ignited with hope, and her steps became faster.
One hundred feet, eighty feet, sixty feet...
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, but the carriage still does not slow down.
The woman gritted her teeth and used all her strength to stagger towards the only way to survive. She could even see clearly the calm expression on the driver's face.
"Help!"
"save......"
The hoarse cries for help suddenly stopped.
Because along with the neighing of the horses pulling the carriage, the carriage on the opposite side suddenly turned into the side road when the two sides were less than ten feet apart, then bypassed the woman and continued to drive forward without any pause.
"no, do not want!"
"Please! Help me!"
The only hope passed by her, and the woman desperately chased the carriage, shouting in despair.
But the bandits not far behind her were stunned for a moment, but then they all raised their heads and laughed.
"I thought I was a hero! It turned out to be such a waste!"
"Get out of here!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"..."
Rampant bandits and desperate women.
Amidst the sounds of pleading and sarcasm, the black carriage continued to speed forward and soon completely disappeared at the end of the dirt road.
The woman gradually stopped and stopped chasing.
And seven or eight bandits slowly surrounded them.
It's just that the ferocious look on their faces has disappeared, replaced by endless fear.
"S-Sir, this..."
"..."
The woman didn't speak, she just looked at the dust rising in the distance and narrowed her eyes slightly.
"interesting."
"It seems we have to think of other ways."
"..."
To be fair, the woman's eyes were very beautiful, but at this moment, none of the big men around her dared to look up.
After they were silent for a long time, someone finally had the courage to ask timidly:
"Sir, sir, we have already scolded you in a very unpleasant way..."
"I know, I don't blame you this time."
The woman shook her head and tied up her messy hair: "I thought of him too simply."
The person who just asked the question was delighted: "Sir, can we leave then?"
"Of course you can, but if someone asks about today's matter, do you know how to answer?"
"I know, I know!"
The man who spoke hurriedly responded: "I'll tell you that I've ruined you, my lord, and torn your body into pieces in the wilderness!"
"Well, that's true, but..."
The woman glanced at the man, chuckled and said, "But you shouldn't say it."
"Ah! Sir, sir, I..."
The big man's eyes widened suddenly, and his words of begging for mercy could only be finished with the word "I".
"..."
There was no sound, and the bright red blood slowly slid down his neck in the next second.
The big man still kept his standing posture, and even had the frightened expression on his face.
Until a gust of wind blows.
"Plop!"
"..."
Looking at the corpses of their companions, the others stood there with their arms trembling, not even daring to express their anger.
But the woman didn't care at all. She only said "dispose of the body" and then turned around and walked away step by step.
...
Three hours later.
In the south of Shuzhou City, there is the Xuanjing Si Yamen.
"Stop! Who is coming?"
"Yujia!"
The woman who was blocked outside the door was very lively, holding a small dagger in her arms, and her eyes were full of curiosity.
