In Ye Xiuwen's eyes, "Yao Mo" was still an unfamiliar stranger, so he didn't say much to "Yao Mo" along the way and just walked forward quietly.
However, Jun Xiaomo has always followed the principle of "if the mountain doesn't come, I will go to the mountain," so when Ye Xiuwen didn't chat with her, she would actively and shamelessly get in touch with her. Go up and chat with Ye Xiuwen.
"Brother Ye, don't you think what happened today is a bit strange? According to common sense, it is impossible for bloodthirsty demon rats to move out in groups during the day." Jun Xiaomo walked beside Ye Xiuwen and said with his head raised.
"I've also discovered this. The Black Wind Giant Tooth Tiger usually lives deep in the woods, and rarely goes to the outskirts of the woods." Ye Xiuwen said calmly, "Moreover, they have all entered the turmoil. Crazy state.”
"Manic state?!" Jun Xiaomo said in surprise. Of course she knew how terrifying the spirit beast was when it entered the manic state, and its attack power could be directly increased by more than ten times.
No wonder, today's bloodthirsty demon rats seem to be even crazier than the ones she encountered before. Fortunately, the number of this group of bloodthirsty demon rats is not too large. Otherwise, one of them would be at the first level of Qi training, and the other would be at the twelfth level of Qi training. , it’s better to just use the scroll to escape, Jun Xiaomo thought silently.
"Yes, a manic state." Ye Xiuwen said with sharp eyes but a very calm tone, "I'm afraid I was tricked."
If only one spirit beast entered a manic state, it might be that Ye Xiuwen was unlucky and encountered something bad. But now that both spirit beasts are like this, it can't be explained by "coincidence" alone. .
Jun Xiaomo paused, and the corners of his lips pursed slightly—
Scheme against senior brother? ! If she, Jun Xiaomo, finds that person, she will definitely make his life worse than death!
On the other side, after Qin Lingyu and the others finished their breakfast, they went to the nearby market for a while and bought some things before returning to the inn.
As the first disciple of the leader of the Xuyang Sect, Qin Lingyu can get a lot of spiritual stones and resources on weekdays. In addition to the resources regularly distributed by the sect, there are also some items given by fellow disciples in order to please Qin Lingyu. Once accepted. Because of this, Qin Lingyu still had a lot of good things in his storage ring. For a while, he couldn't think of the concept of "saving spiritual stones" and bought everything he saw that interested him.
Naturally, the other disciples who were traveling with him could not be as generous as Qin Lingyu. While they envied the rich resources in Qin Lingyu's storage ring, they carefully kept their smiles on their faces to please the first disciple of the sect leader who had an unlimited future.
Zhong Ruolan was even more obvious - she was seven years older than Qin Lingyu. She knew very well that if she didn't take advantage of this opportunity to capture Qin Lingyu, it would be even more difficult for Qin Lingyu to be surrounded by so many warblers after returning to the sect. Maybe she fell in love with her, so she tried her best to catch Qin Lingyu's eyes and dressed up beautifully every day.
Seeing that Zhong Ruolan could seduce her sweetheart so openly, Yu Wanrou was almost driven mad. Her anger was stuck in her throat, unable to go up or come down. In order to prevent others from doubting his relationship with Yu Wanrou, Qin Lingyu's attitude towards Yu Wanrou was also extremely cold, without the deep affection he once had.
However, Yu Wanrou also has Ke Xinwen who hangs around her every day. Even if Ke Xinwen is not as good as Qin Lingyu in all aspects, it is still a small comfort in Yu Wanrou's heart.
"Senior brother Ke, you are really generous today." One of the disciples put their hands on Ke Xinwen's shoulders and said to the senior brother.
Ke Xinwen is not as cold and stern as Qin Lingyu, nor is he as indifferent as Ye Xiuwen. Therefore, in the Xuyang Sect, the disciples who are lower than him have more fun with him. These disciples feel that Senior Brother Ke is warm and generous, which is really better than Qing Ling. Yu and Ye Xiuwen are so easy to get along with.
Ke Xinwen laughed loudly and said: "I am in a good mood today, so I bought all the ones I saw that I liked."
"Hey, what happy event has happened to Senior Brother Ke? The happiness is almost written on his face." Another disciple joked.
"Could it be that...Junior Sister Wanrou agreed to Senior Brother Ke's courtship? Hahahahaha..." the disciple who was holding Ke Xinwen's shoulder joked and looked at Yu Wanrou.
Ke Xinwen's love for Yu Wanrou was not hidden from other people at all. In addition, during this period of time, he has been courting Yu Wanrou. Unless he is a fool, no one would know that he is chasing Yu Wanrou.
Of course, there were several male cultivators who were interested in Yu Wanrou among the people traveling with her, but their cultivation was not as good as Ke Xinwen's, so she had to think about it.
When Yu Wanrou heard that someone had brought her and Ke Xinwen together, she forced a soft smile and said, "Stop making fun of us. Senior Brother Ke only thinks that I am a female cultivator, so he will take care of me along the way." .”
"Oh - it seems that Junior Sister Wanrou thinks a defense bonus necklace is not valuable enough. Senior Brother Ke, you have to keep up your efforts~" the male cultivator next to Ke Xinwen said jokingly.
"Yes, Junior Sister Wanrou is a very shy person at first glance. Senior Brother Ke, you have to work hard to fully open Junior Sister Wanrou's heart~" Another male cultivator agreed.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother Ke must be talented, capable, and handsome, so how can Junior Sister Wanrou not be tempted? It's just that Junior Sister Wanrou is more reserved..."
"I see, I understand."
…
Listening to the others teasing her and Ke Xinwen, Yu Wanrou could only smile reluctantly, then lowered her head, pretending that she was embarrassed.
As for her true inner thoughts, probably only Yu Wanrou herself knows.
Ke Xinwen was indeed in a good mood today, so he didn't notice the reluctance behind Yu Wanrou's smile, and he also benefited from the flattery of other juniors. He felt that in the entire Xuyang Sect, except for Qin Lingyu, who could not surpass him, everyone else could only be looked down upon by him.
As for Ye Xiuwen, Ke Xinwen felt that after today, this person would be nothing to worry about, because he would step by step remove this person from the position of Hanjian Sect's designated disciple!
Yes, Ke Xinwen has always been bitter about Ye Xiuwen taking his designated disciple position. Even though he knew very well that Ye Xiuwen's talent and overall strength were better than him, he was still unconvinced.
After all, he was clearly interested in the opportunity to be selected as the Hanjian Sect's designated disciple, but was snatched away by a young boy like Ye Xiuwen. How could he be convinced and willing to accept it? !
During this period, although Ke Xinwen appeared to be joking with others, he was actually observing Ye Xiuwen's behavior and looking for opportunities to trick Ye Xiuwen.
Soon, he discovered that Ye Xiuwen would leave the army every morning to find a quiet place nearby to practice swordsmanship. This habit was almost engraved in Ye Xiuwen's bones. No matter the wind or rain, he would remain unshakable here. Practice swordplay at a fixed time.
Ke Xinwen felt that his opportunity had come.
Even though Ke Xinwen always acted carefree in the sect and acted like a brother to everyone, when he was calculating others, he was not vague at all. There were ten disciples who entered the Xuyang Sect with Ke Xinwen back then. One of them had a particularly high talent, second only to Ye Xiuwen and Qin Lingyu. He was selected as one of the key disciples to be trained as soon as he came to the sect. .
Ke Xinwen was very jealous of his fellow student's talent, but on the surface he always showed that he had a good relationship with him.
Then, one night after he officially became a disciple of the Xuyang Sect, that disciple disappeared. The other disciples in the sect searched for him for several days, but could not find any trace of him. They could only go back to the sect anxiously. The elders and the sect leader reported.
"Forget it, just disappear if you don't see him. He doesn't even have the ability to protect himself, and the Xuyang Sect doesn't need such a waste." The second elder of the sect said in a cold tone, and the matter was dropped.
At that time, Ke Xinwen broke out in a cold sweat. He felt that the second elder glanced at him.
However, the final result was still in his favor. No one knew that Ke Xinwen had harmed the disciple. Since then, Ke Xinwen would offer something to the second elder from time to time, hoping that this matter could be buried in the dust forever.
It can be seen from this incident that Ke Xinwen is a duplicitous and cruel person. He is also very small-minded and does not want others to be more talented and stronger than him. Qin Lingyu was a disciple of the sect leader He Zhang. Ke Xinwen did not dare to touch him, and he did not have the ability to do so. But Ye Xiuwen is different. Although Ye Xiuwen has a very high status and is the first disciple of Lintian Peak, Ke Xinwen knows that there are not so many twists and turns in the heads of the group of cultivators at Lintian Peak, least of all. Know how to deal with intrigues.
In addition, Ye Xiuwen became the designated disciple of Hanjian Sect, so Ke Xinwen directly regarded him as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh that must be removed.
After observing Ye Xiuwen for a period of time, Ke Xinwen felt that an opportunity had come. He secretly bribed the waiter in the shop and put something in Ye Xiuwen's bath water called "Qu Shen Cao".
This kind of thing is colorless and odorless, and ordinary people cannot smell it. However, spiritual beasts are very sensitive to this kind of thing. Once a spiritual beast eats the sacred grass by mistake, even the gentlest spiritual beast will feel like it. Like a lunatic who has lost his mind, he launches attacks on everything around him, especially objects contaminated with the magic grass, which will become the target of their "care". In order to enhance the attack power of spirit beasts, some animal trainers will directly feed the spirit beasts diluted medicinal herbs to make the spirit beasts enter a manic state during battle.
Although Ye Xiuwen was very cautious, he still had little experience after all, and he never expected that someone would use this method to trick him. The waiter put a lot of magic grass powder into Ye Xiuwen's bath water. After putting it in, he said "Please use it slowly, sir" and turned around and left without having much communication with Ye Xiuwen.
Therefore, Ye Xiuwen was successfully tricked by Ke Xinwen unintentionally.
Ke Xinwen felt that once Ye Xiuwen was attacked by a spiritual beast that entered a manic state, he would be seriously injured even if he did not die. If Ye Xiuwen was lucky and could come back with a life, he wouldn't mind setting up a few more traps for Ye Xiuwen to step into and give this person a good ride.
Ke Xinwen's calculation was very good, but he forgot one thing, that is, Ye Xiuwen's storage ring must have some scrolls for escape.
Moreover, Ye Xiuwen happened to meet Jun Xiaomo who came to find him. Although Jun Xiaomo's cultivation level is slightly lower, she has a lot of combat experience and escape experience accumulated in her previous life. Therefore, Ye Xiuwen came back safe and sound with almost no injuries, and even brought a "little tail" with her. .
Ke Xinwen returned to the inn in a good mood, chatting and laughing with his brothers all the way from the market. When he saw Ye Xiuwen sitting calmly in the inn, drinking tea and waiting for them, his whole body was filled with excitement. Stiffened.
How could Ye Xiuwen be sitting here completely fine? ! Didn't those divine herbs work? !
impossible…
Before Ke Xinwen used the God Grass, he specifically asked the waiter at the inn. He knew that the woods near here were not safe, and wild beasts often appeared there. Some people even told him it was there.
After careful questioning, Ke Xinwen could confirm that among the beasts mentioned by the waiter, at least two were spiritual beasts, one was the black wind giant tooth tiger, and the other was the bloodthirsty demon rat. Ke Xinwen couldn't believe that Ye Xiuwen, who was at the twelfth level of Qi training, had the ability to deal with these two spiritual beasts that had entered a manic state.
However, no matter how unbelievable he was, the result was still in front of him - Ye Xiuwen was not injured at all, and he was just sitting in front of them, sipping tea slowly.
Ke Xinwen was so shocked that he ignored Jun Xiaomo sitting next to Ye Xiuwen.
However, just because he ignored Jun Xiaomo did not mean that Jun Xiaomo would ignore him. In fact, Jun Xiaomo pretended to hold the cup, but followed the rim of the cup and cast his eyes on this group of people.
The only person who can scheme against senior brother is one of these people.
Then, she saw something strange about Ke Xinwen.
Not only Jun Xiaomo noticed this, but Ye Xiuwen, who was looking through the curtain and hat, also caught the subtle changes in Ke Xinwen's expression at that moment.
