The news that Qin Shanshan brought back a handsome man from a trip soon spread throughout the Xuyang Sect. In the past few days, no matter where Jun Xiaomo went with the identity of "Qin Shanshan", she could feel the seemingly invisible gaze falling on her, including inquiry, envy, and jealousy.
Among those who are jealous of Qin Shanshan, some of them still have a relatively good relationship with Qin Shanshan. Although they have not seen the man yet, they have heard from their brothers who have returned from traveling that he is more handsome than Qin Shanshan's brother Qin Lingyu, and his strength is unfathomable, and he is a person who is not easy to mess with. .
In this way, Qin Shanshan's luck is simply enviable to others. Not to mention a powerful brother who is likely to be the future successor of the sect leader, she can actually lure back a lover who is more powerful than her brother. With Qin Shanshan What else could this kind of bad character be but bad luck
So, full of curiosity about the identity and appearance of the mysterious man, Qin Shanshan's friends held back for a few days, and finally couldn't help but come to Qin Shanshan's cave in groups.
They heard that Qin Shanshan's mistress lived here and lived with Qin Shanshan.
During the days when Ye Xiuwen returned to Xuyang Sect, he was not in a hurry to inquire about the situation in the forbidden area. He knew that the senior officials of the Xuyang Sect were now wary of him. If he was not careful, his true identity might be discovered, which would be very detrimental to the operation.
Therefore, for the time being, he could only choose to stay calm in Qin Shanshan's cave, practicing while planning how to approach the forbidden area quietly.
As for "Qin Shanshan", in Ye Xiuwen's knowledge, this girl was very elusive. She would go out early every morning and only sneak back in the evening when she was about to go to bed, smelling like a traveler.
To be honest, he and "Qin Shanshan" have less interaction now than before they came to Xuyang Sect. After all, after coming to Xuyang Sect, they each have their own things to be busy with.
Although he and "Qin Shanshan" now live under the same roof, they never interfere or ask about each other's affairs. Because they all know that they still can't completely trust each other. Even if they now have an additional layer of friendship in addition to their cooperative relationship, the responsibilities and secrets they carry still make them have several more layers of barriers.
"Is this here? I haven't been here for so long that I have forgotten where Qin Shanshan's cave is." A delicate female voice sounded at the door of Qin Shanshan's cave, and another slightly crisper female voice replied, " It’s right here, you can’t go wrong.”
As they finished speaking, several women in pink clothes stepped through the gate of Qin Shanshan's cave and walked in swaggeringly.
Their previous relationship with Qin Shanshan was not bad on the surface, so it was normal to go straight to the cave. However, since Qin Shanshan came back from her travels, she didn't seem to have taken the initiative to find them. She only learned some information about Qin Shanshan from those who went out with Qin Shanshan.
"Where is Shanshan?" The delicate female voice sounded again.
"Who knows, maybe she's still in the room with her lover, chatting with her." Another voice said, with a bit of a sour tone in her tone.
"No, their doors are all open, they should all be out."
"Maybe in the backyard? Let's go take a look." said a woman in the group who looked the calmest, most rational, and tallest.
These people all thought it was reasonable and walked towards the backyard of Qin Shanshan's cave one after another. They didn't feel at all how rude their behavior of coming uninvited and breaking into other people's caves was.
Ye Xiuwen was practicing his sword in the backyard. The habit of practicing swordplay in the morning has long been engraved in his bones, and he never broke it even in those days when he fell into the abyss of death.
As they approached the small forest in the backyard, Qin Shanshan's best friends heard the sound of sword energy cutting through the air.
After turning a corner, their eyes lit up, and a green figure came into their eyes.
"So handsome..." The woman with a sweet voice exclaimed. Although he couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly, the fierce aura displayed by the fluttering clothes was enough to make many dreamy girls' hearts flutter.
She wanted to know the man's appearance even more.
There were two "swish" sounds, and several sword auras suddenly came through the air. The woman who made the sound screamed and felt someone pulled her clothes behind her, and she barely avoided those sword auras.
If the tallest woman hadn't grabbed her in time, her right arm would have been cut off.
"Who are you and why did you break in without permission?" Ye Xiuwen put away his sword and asked coldly.
A man in green clothes with a handsome appearance and a cold temperament stood not far away with a sword behind his back, looking at them indifferently, and he was stunned by these women.
Before coming, they had imagined the appearance of the man Qin Shanshan brought back. However, when they saw each other, they realized that any imagination was unnecessary, because this man only needed to stand there quietly, There is no need for any extra actions, just like a carefully sketched ink painting, the cold temperament is integrated with nature, but people cannot ignore his existence.
"Then... that... are you Qin Shanshan's friend?" The soft-spoken woman blushed and looked at Ye Xiuwen shyly.
She knew the relationship between Qin Shanshan and this man, but she subconsciously didn't want to ask, "Are you Qin Shanshan's Taoist companion?" She felt that this man was so outstanding that it was impossible for him to like Qin Shanshan's unruly and willful wild girl. What's the misunderstanding
Ye Xiuwen was not a fool. He knew why the woman in front of him reacted this way.
However, he felt it was ridiculous. When he was still wearing a curtain hat, those people avoided him like a snake and a scorpion. Except for the brothers from Lintian Peak, he almost didn't have any friends around him, let alone any friends. pursuer.
As a result, once he regained his appearance, those strange love blossoms came one after another, just because they took a fancy to his current appearance.
To be honest, if it weren't for his little junior sister, he wouldn't even have the thought of restoring his appearance. If a person approaches him just because of his appearance, how sincere this person is, he really needs to be beaten. question mark.
Therefore, no matter how beautiful these women are, no matter how many reactions they have, they cannot stir up even a single ripple in Ye Xiuwen's heart.
He simply didn't trust this kind of illusory emotion based on appearance. If one day he was disfigured again, these people would not even be able to take a second look at him.
"Shanshan is not here. If you need to find her for anything, please come back another day." Ye Xiuwen didn't want to talk to these women at all. He put his sword into its sheath and planned to go elsewhere.
As for this cave, it originally belonged to Qin Shanshan and had nothing to do with him or the "child girl". These people could just break in if they wanted, and there were no secrets for them to see.
"Hey, wait." The woman didn't expect Ye Xiuwen to be so cold, and while feeling disappointed, she hurriedly called out to Ye Xiuwen.
Ye Xiuwen stopped and looked at the other person calmly, with calm eyes.
"Um... what's your name, can you tell me?" The woman's face was still shy.
"Junziwen."
"It turns out that your name is Jun Ziwen. This name really suits you... Well, my name is Du Zhulan. These are all my sisters. We are also familiar with Shanshan. It is fate that we meet each other. How about we make friends?" Du Zhulan said in one breath, looking at Ye Xiuwen with affectionate eyes and watery eyes. People who don't know may think that she has been secretly in love with him for a long time.
Ye Xiuwen glanced at her nonchalantly and said, "I don't think it's necessary."
"Wha... what?" The blood on Du Zhulan's face suddenly faded and turned blue and white.
Although her popularity in the sect is not as high as that of Yu Wanrou, who is accustomed to acting, but because of her good looks, petite figure, soft-spoken voice, and young age, there are still many people who dote on her. Less. Unexpectedly, Ye Xiuwen encountered an iron plate this time.
There was a trace of redness in her eyes, and she said aggrievedly, "Why, I just want to be friends with you..."
Friends around Du Zhulan also couldn't stand Ye Xiuwen's coldness and arrogance - although Ye Xiuwen was handsome, his temperament was too cold. Who did he think he was? He is just a casual cultivator with no family or sect, so why should he be arrogant? One of them was the first to lose his composure—
"Hey! Let me tell you, don't you even know how to write the word 'polite'? Sister Zhulan just wants to be friends with you, and she doesn't want to cut off your flesh. You don't need to be like this. You look like you are too high-minded and disdain to be friends with us."
There was a hint of coldness in Ye Xiuwen's eyes. He originally had no good impression of the disciples of the Xuyang Sect except for Lintian Peak because of the incident at Lintian Peak. He didn't expect that now he would encounter some unreasonable and unreasonable people. A female nun from the Qing Dynasty. He said coldly: "You broke into the master's cave without her consent. Are you qualified to talk to me about politeness?!"
"You... why are you a man like this!"
"How am I doing? Did I say something wrong?" Even when he was debating with the other party, Ye Xiuwen's tone was still calm, but it was his calm demeanor that could make people angry to death.
"You! We are good friends with Shanshan. We have always been like this. Who do you think you are? Don't think that you are the owner of this place when you move in!" The woman became angry and spoke indiscriminately.
"Oh? It turns out you have always been like this. When I'm not around, you just walk in swaggeringly."
Behind these women, a clear and pleasant voice sounded.
They were slightly stunned and looked behind them in disbelief. They saw "Qin Shanshan" walking in slowly. Against the sunlight, they couldn't see the expression on the other person's face clearly, but their intuition told them, "Qin Shanshan" "There seems to be something different about him.
When "Qin Shanshan" approached, they finally saw clearly what the other party looked like. However, before they could take a closer look, "Qin Shanshan" walked past them, walked up to Ye Xiuwen, and glared slightly angrily. He took one look and said, "Meet others."
Ye Xiuwen smiled and patted "Qin Shanshan" on the head without replying. However, the smile in his eyes was so real that it hurt Du Zhulan's eyes.
She originally thought that this man would be polite and sarcastic to everyone, but she didn't expect him to be like this in front of Qin Shanshan.
How could Qin Shanshan be treated like this just because they knew each other earlier
Du Zhulan curled her lips and looked at this scene with red eyes, her heart filled with deep reluctance.
While watching, Jun Xiaomo turned his head, glanced at Qin Shanshan's group of best friends with a half-smile, and said, "You are really a group of good friends. First, you came to my cave from time to time while I was out." He paid a visit, and now he wants to poach me while I'm away. I, Qin Shanshan, really can't afford such a 'good' friend."
Jun Xiaomo didn't speak very fast, trying to pronounce every word clearly, which made the faces of those who were still filled with indignation turn red and white. Although he wanted to find something to refute, he didn't know how to refute. , after all, they really couldn't find any thorns in Jun Xiaomo's words.
Precisely because they couldn't pick out the thorns, they felt depressed and had nowhere to vent their anger.
"Shanshan, are you going to put aside our many years of friendship for a man?" The female nun with a bad temper couldn't help but question.
"Oh? I don't think people who poach me are good friends." Jun Xiaomo sneered, his eyes falling on Du Zhulan.
Birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together. These people have a good relationship with Qin Shanshan and Yu Wanrou, and they are almost as selfish in nature. For these people, the so-called "friendship" is nothing more than a bridge and an excuse to use each other.
Looking at Du Zhulan's resentful eyes, people who don't know better might think that others have really done something sorry for her.
Jun Xiaomo's sarcastic tone and eyes made the group of people feel that they had been severely humiliated. One of them glared at Jun Xiaomo and said, "What you say about poaching is just your own guess. Sister Zhulan is He didn’t say anything. Now that you’ve talked about it, there’s no need for us to touch your cold ass with our hot faces. You can just spend the whole day facing your little lover by yourself! Let’s go!”
A group of people just came and left like this.
Before leaving, Du Zhulan couldn't help but look back at Ye Xiuwen, but she only saw him lowering his head and talking to "Qin Shanshan". The indifference in his eyes was like melted ice, with a soft glimmer. .
Feeling angry, she stamped her feet fiercely and followed the footsteps of her companions.
