But the other party seemed to look very sincere.
Even though Xu Zimei felt something was off, he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
He looked at the other party.
And confirmed once again.
He said, "Is it really that simple?"
Normally, if the other party was willing to lead the way, they might ask for some treasures, even if they were being greedy.
As long as it wasn't too excessive, Xu Zimei could accept it.
After all, at his level, things that ordinary people dream of already mean nothing to him.
But the other party neither wanted wealth nor asked for favors.
He simply hoped Xu Zimei could protect him.
In fact, even if the other party hadn't said so, as his guide, Xu Zimei would ensure his safety.
So Xu Zimei asked, "Do you have a mortal enemy?"
"Is that why you want me to protect you?"
"To a person like the master, they're nothing more than ants to be casually flicked away, but to me, they are mortal enemies."
The Black Mountain Old Demon replied frankly.
