Chapter 570 - The Strong are RespectedChapter 570: The Strong are Respected
After spending a great amount of effort, Jiang Wuhen finally cut off a hind leg and dragged it back into his carriage. As to whether they would roast it or stew it, only he and Li Shaoqiu knew.
Zhou Zhidong looked at Jiang Wuhen as if in deep thought and only then did he suddenly realize that just now while everyone was shocked by the news of a Shocking Thunder Beast appearing here till they were only focused on escaping, scattering themselves in all directions, this was the only person who remained calm. He kept eating and drinking in a manner that was even calmer than those of his guards who had experienced hundreds of battles. Was it because he was extremely confident in Ling Chuxi’s cultivation, or did he have something else to rely on? Zhou Zhidong really could not understand.
“Miss Ling, thank you for lending a hand just now. Please forgive my past offences,” said Zhou Zhidong uprightly as he threw his doubts aside and approached Ling Chuxi, cupping his fists as he spoke.

Since finding out Zhou Zhidong’s identity and origins from Li Shaoqiu, not only did Ling Chuxi not harbor any ill feelings towards him, instead she respected him all the more. Nan Xia Country could enjoy the peace and quiet it had today all thanks to the iron-blooded members of the army like Zhou Zhidong who were by the country’s borders, drenched in blood and determination to protect Nan Xia Country. Comparatively speaking, her results at the great assessment competition were not actually counted as much.
“Miss Ling, previously when I was dispatched by His Majesty to do this task, I was truly a little dissatisfied, but upon seeing your cultivation, I truly yield to providing my services to you. In the future, if you have any tasks for me, please feel free to instruct me.” Seeing Ling Chuxi not taking things to heart, Zhou Zhidong was even more in admiration of Ling Chuxi’s cultivation and character, thus he spoke boldly.
After finishing what he came to say, Zhou Zhidong did not wait for Ling Chuxi to reply. Instead, he turned around and instructed the rest of the guards to get ready to depart.
“Miss Ling, many thanks for lending a helping hand,” said Gao Wentian, also stepping forward to say his thanks.
“Big Brother Gao, if you don’t mind, please call me Chuxi,” said Ling Chuxi to Gao Wentian.
“Then, I won’t be overly courteous,” replied Gao Wentian, slightly stunned before becoming overjoyed. He knew that Ling Chuxi was truly treating him as a friend by this. His efforts across such a long period of time were finally being repaid. Thinking back to how he first met Ling Chuxi till now, intentionally making associations all the while till today where Ling Chuxi had lent him a helping hand just when he needed it, Gao Wentian was both emotional and grateful.
Even after so many years, when he thought back to these kinds of things, aside from feeling joyful and emotional, Gao Wentian even felt a few shades of pride. This was his most successful investment in his life. It was because of this investment that the Gao family was brought to a whole new level of glory, becoming one of the strongest Chambers of Commerce across various countries.
“Big Brother Gao, are you all also going to Ding Lin Country? Why don’t you all just travel with us?” Since Ling Chuxi had already made up her mind to treat Gao Wentian as her friend, she didn’t have the heart to just send him off alone. Anyway, Zhou Zhidong and the rest were around, so small matters would not require her to show her hand.

He had long since seen through Mo Kongyuan and Lin Cangbo’s identities. He knew they were no ordinary men, and therefore did not dare to add on any trouble for Ling Chuxi.
“All right then,” replied Ling Chuxi, not imposing her goodwill on him.
Very quickly, the Nan Xia Country entourage set off once again. The two guards who were injured were not in any major trouble after treatment and were resting in Zhou Zhidong’s carriage while Zhou Zhidong himself rode a horse alongside the rest of the guards. The previous arrogance etched on Zhou Zhidong’s face was no longer visible at the moment. His attitude had undergone a 180-degree turn. He now looked at Ling Chuxi with a gaze full of respect, and he was even more respectful and admiring of Mister Mo.
Ling Chuxi could be considered to once again be experiencing the meaning of the well-known truth that the strong are respected. Even royal power could only make Zhou Zhidong submit, but it was unable to warrant his respect.
The strong are respected, indeed.
