"No, it wasn't you who protected me but we protected each other." Xiao Wu denied it.
Liu Kang felt awkward hearing Xiao Wu's statement. After letting go of his embrace, he then told about Xu Yue who was a part of them now.
There were several reasons Liu Kang had let Xu Yue into his group. One of them was because of Xu Yue's talent. Without checking it, he understood that a 14-year-old child who had reached the Qi refining level was no ordinary individual.
The second reason was for Xu Yue to always be by Xiao Wu's side when he intended to temporarily leave to increase his strength.
Liu Kang understood that other cultivators might have increased cultivation if they entered the sect. But not for himself because the path he chose was to become the God Of Villain.
Xiao Wu was surprised that Liu Kang brought someone into their group. But she was not against it at all because she had always believed in Liu Kang's judgment. She was also surprised by Liu Kang's demeanor who looked very mature and calculating.
After speaking for a bit, Liu Kang felt the seal made by him on Xu Yue approaching.
"I'll pick up Xu Yue first." Liu Kang said as he slowly walked out of the room.
When they arrived outside the inn, Liu Kang immediately called Xu Yue and took her into the room they were staying in.
Xu Yue felt nervous from time to time. She doesn't look like a killer. Right now she was just like any other 14-year-old.
When looking at Xiao Wu, Xu Yue hastily bowed and introduced herself.
"I am sorry, I..."
"You must be Xu Yue right?" Xiao Wu asked cutting off Xu Yue's words.
Xu Yue was surprised because she had never introduced her name even to Liu Kang.
"How do you know?" Xu Yue asked in surprise.
Xiao Wu was confused and immediately looked at Liu Kang curiously.
"I have my way of knowing someone's identity." Liu Kang immediately spoke when he saw Xiao Wu's astonished look.
Xu Yue was even more shocked. Because, all this time she had been a murderer for some time, no one knew at all about her identity. She felt more and more that Liu Kang was full of mystery.
"Xu Yue, from today onwards you are a part of us. We will not treat you as a slave. I put a slave seal on you because I don't fully trust you yet. And, you can call me Brother or whatever you want and don't want master." said Liu Kang.
Xu Yue froze hearing Liu Kang's words and couldn't believe that she wouldn't be treated the way she thought.
Liu Kang would make Xu Yue not betray them by doing so. Trust is the most important thing in a relationship between subordinates, colleagues, and even family.
Xu Yue's eyes suddenly glazed over a little. She suddenly felt that her life would change by following Liu Kang.
Of course, Liu Kang predicted that. Tweaking a child's psychology and getting the child to trust himself completely will make the child a loyal companion or perhaps part of the family Someday.
"Yeah, I'll do my best.." Xu Yue whispered.
"Good, now rest. And here are all the needles you have." Liu Kang took out a pile of needles and handed them to Xu Yue.
"Thank you." Xu Yue said while receiving all her needles.
"No need to thank me. I already said that you are now a part of us. Do your best and I will immediately remove the seal I created. When that comes, it's up to you to be with us or leave." said Liu Kang.
"Yes, I understand." Xu Yue replied decisively.
Liu Kang immediately smiled as he felt that Xu Yue had believed his words too quickly. It wouldn't be long before Xu Yue thought of them as family and would do anything for her new family.
Xiao Wu also smiled at Xu Yue's words.
Before they rested, they chatted for a while and then went to sleep. For the next few days, they would only cultivate and wait for the day of recruiting sect members.

Several days have passed. Hou Chang still couldn't get any news from the assassin hired by him.
Hou Chang was furious and intended to hire a new assassin. However, he felt it would be useless.
He didn't know that Xu Yue had leaked the identity of the hired assassin. Therefore, Liu Kang had already set a target to eliminate Hou Chang when the time came.
Hou Chang was currently putting on a sullen face. "Tch! Killers are useless. What should I do now?" Hou Chang asked himself.
He wandered here and there looking for a way to find Liu Kang and Xiao Wu to eliminate the two of them.
A few moments later, Hou Chang stopped walking as he thought of something.
"There's no news of them at all. They stay in this city as if waiting for something. They can't wait for me to leave the city."
"In other words…" Hou Chang's face was instantly irritated because he knew what Liu Kang and Xiao Wu's intentions were. It was because he was one of the members of every major. Of course, he would know when it was time to recruit new disciples for the sect.
"Looks like this will be troublesome. Let's see when recruitment starts. If I have the chance, I'll kill him on the spot." Hou Chang whispered. He stared at the two images painted on a scroll with a cold gaze and dense killing intent.
The two paintings are portraits of Liu Kang and Xiao Wu's faces.
"You two will regret killing my two stupid little brothers!" Hou Chang muttered as he squinted his eyes at the vast city view in front of him.
Hou Chang would never let go of the two prey he would pounce on later. Because if he has a grudge against someone, he will do anything to kill that person.
Hou Chang rushed down from the roof of the building deciding to head to the place where his sect would gather in the city. Because then he would know the exact time the sect disciple recruitment began.
"Young master, a woman suddenly came into your room, she said that the young master had ordered it for tonight." Said one of the bodyguards reporting the information to Hou Chang.
Hou Chang just smiled faintly then he immediately headed into his room.
