However, Qin Lingyu didn't seem to take "Yao Mo" as a "love rival" to heart. He only glanced at Jun Xiaomo lightly and then turned away, unlike Ke Xinwen, who stared at Jun Xiaomo's eyes seemed to be on fire, and the smile on his face could hardly be maintained.
That's right, Qin Lingyu doesn't even pay attention to a "love rival" like Ke Xinwen, let alone a low-level formation master like "Yao Mo" who is fragile and easily exposed? In his opinion, Yu Wanrou would have chosen two other people instead of herself unless she was blind.
Jun Xiaomo felt a little tired for Ke Xinming when he saw that he was clearly angry, but he still pretended to be "I'm generous and I'm happy".
How much can this person hold back to be so inconsistent? Jun Xiaomo opened the folding fan and shook it, blocking Ke Xinwen's sight that hurt his skin.
At this moment, Zhong Ruolan spoke. As if she was afraid that the world would be peaceful, she covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Hey, looking at the look of Junior Sister Wanrou, could it be that she has fallen in love with our little brother Yao? That's right, I think Yao My little brother has the best appearance and temperament, so it’s not surprising that Junior Sister Wanrou has taken a liking to him."
Jun Xiaomo: Haha... This Zhong Ruolan, you think the hatred value in me is not high enough, don't you
What left Jun Xiaomo speechless the most was that Yu Wanrou did not directly deny this, but said softly: "Senior Sister Ruolan was joking, I was just stating the facts. Brother Yao Mo looks like a dragon or a phoenix, or A very powerful formation master, there must be many girls who admire Brother Yao."
The reason why Yu Wanrou spared no effort in praising "Yao Mo" was to pave the way for the future, because she knew that most men liked women's admiration and praise, which would give them a sense of accomplishment.
How did she know that this "Yao Mo" was just a complete woman wearing a man's skin? Therefore, her plan was destined to fail.
And Jun Xiaomo, who had been "praised" by Yu Wanrou many times, almost wanted to give her a talisman of silence!
There is no doubt that Ke Xinwen's gaze on Jun Xiaomo became even colder - Jun Xiaomo had no doubt that in the following days, as long as Ke Xinwen could find an opportunity, he would definitely make himself completely "Disappeared" in front of Yu Wanrou.
Resisting the urge to slap a talisman on Yu Wanrou's mouth, Jun Xiaomo smiled dryly and replied: "Sister Wanrou and Sister Ruolan are very grateful."
Although Jun Xiaomo's tone was a bit stiff, almost no one present heard it. On the contrary, several male cultivators felt that Jun Xiaomo was showing off, and their impression of "Yao Mo" was even worse.
Why did Senior Brother Ye bring this "Yao Mo" back? Are you trying to steal the attention of senior sister and junior sister? !
Fortunately, the arrival of the waiter temporarily solved Jun Xiaomo's urgent need and prevented her from being poked into a sieve by everyone's attention.
"The food is here~ Sir, please be patient..." the waiter shouted, walked past Jun Xiaomo, and brought the food to the table.
Everyone was already hungry after visiting the market all morning. The aroma of the food filled their nostrils, stimulating their taste buds and successfully attracting their attention to the dishes on that table.
"This inn doesn't look big, but I didn't expect the food to be quite good, with all the color, aroma and taste." Jun Xiaomo said, tapping his chin with a folding fan.
She was hungry too. You know, she had been fighting side by side with her senior brother all morning, so she was hungrier than those people who were visiting the market!
The others were slightly stunned after hearing Jun Xiaomo's words, and then they remembered what happened just now.
"Sit down, the food will be cold if you don't eat." Ye Xiuwen said in a calm tone, giving Jun Xiaomo a chance to return to his original position, which was equivalent to telling everyone that the topic just now ended here.
Jun Xiaomo decisively followed his senior brother's words, quickly returned to his seat, and showed a grateful smile to Ye Xiuwen.
Now that Senior Brother Ye has spoken, the others can't say anything more. In addition, they are really hungry. After Qin Lingyu, Ye Xiuwen and Jun Xiaomo picked up their chopsticks almost at the same time, they also picked up their chopsticks one after another. He picked up his chopsticks and picked up the dishes in front of him.
Perhaps because of the buffering effect of food, everyone was laughing and chatting happily during this meal, as if the tense situation just now did not exist at all. Many people also drank tea instead of wine to toast Jun Xiaomo. I drank several glasses of wine to welcome her.
Jun Xiaomo smiled brightly and drank one by one.
She knew very well that this was just harmony on the surface. This journey had gotten off to such a bad start, and I was afraid it was destined to be unrest.
However, she, Jun Xiaomo, has even encountered death, so what else can scare her
Soldiers will come to block it, water will come and earth will cover it.
After lunch, most people went back to their rooms to rest. Ye Xiuwen took Jun Xiaomo to the innkeeper and asked him to open another guest room.
"I'm sorry, sir, all our rooms are occupied." The shopkeeper said apologetically.
He didn't want to push out the business he had come to hand, but he was helpless. The passenger flow was extremely heavy these days, and it was often full before noon.
"Is that so? Are there any larger inns near here?" Jun Xiaomo asked.
The reason why she emphasizes "relatively large" is because in such a small town, only relatively large inns can guarantee safety, and other small inns may be mixed with some illegal shops.
This is also the vigilance brought to her by her past life experience.
"Ah, there is one, but the price may be relatively high." The shopkeeper did not want to blackmail his competitors, but he told the truth that the price-performance ratio of that inn was not particularly high, so it was very likely that it was not full of guests yet.
"It's just one night, it doesn't matter." Jun Xiaomo waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
To be honest, personal safety is more important than the price. Even though she has a lot of talismans in the storage ring now, it takes time to make talismans. When the time comes, she will use one less talisman. In an emergency, it would be a tragedy if not even a single talisman could be produced.
Ye Xiuwen frowned slightly, as if he thought of something and wanted to tell Jun Xiaomo, but at the next moment, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Ke Xinwen, who had not returned to the room and looked over.
Ye Xiuwen's eyes flashed with thought, and he put back the words that were about to come to his mouth.
"... Go to the second intersection where you turn left and then go right? Okay, I understand." Jun Xiaomo asked carefully about the location of the other inn before saying "thank you" to the innkeeper and planning to Check out another inn.
"Brother Ye, it seems that you and I will live separately tonight." Jun Xiaomo sighed and said to Ye Xiuwen.
Ye Xiuwen nodded and said, "Let me accompany you to another inn to check it out."
Jun Xiaomo's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Ye."
She also liked staying with her senior brother. Her past and present experiences made her feel that she felt particularly safe when Ye Xiuwen was around.
"Zhizhi!" Xiaotuanzi came out from Jun Xiaomo's lapel, bared his front teeth at Ye Xiuwen, and waved his claws, as if he was dissatisfied that Ye Xiuwen wanted to follow them.
"Don't be rude! This is Brother Ye!" Jun Xiaomo poked Xiaotuanzi's furry little head with his index finger.
Xiaotuanzi bit Jun Xiaomo's index finger and ground his teeth.
However, it was reluctant to exert any force, and in the end there were not even light teeth marks on Jun Xiaomo's fingers. Jun Xiaomo's fingertips were itchy because of Xiaotuanzi's fur, and he chuckled.
"Okay, good boy~ Are you hungry? I'll give you some pine nuts later."
Just now, Jun Xiaomo was feeding Xiaotuanzi while eating. She thought that her "multitasking" caused Xiaotuanzi to not have enough to eat, and now she asked her for food.
—The racial and language barriers make it really difficult to communicate.
Xiaotuanzi let go of Jun Xiaomo in frustration. After glaring at the "unenlightened" Jun Xiaomo a few times with his black eyes, Xiaotuanzi crawled back into Jun Xiaomo's arms and put the little boy into Jun Xiaomo's arms. His head was buried in her clothes, and he couldn't see it anymore.
"This mouse behaves really like a human being." Ye Xiuwen commented very pertinently.
"Yes, I also think Xiaotuanzi is very spiritual." Jun Xiaomo said proudly, raising her chin, as if the little pet "having human emotions" was a great compliment to her. .
The corners of Ye Xiuwen's lips curled up slightly. He felt that this young boy and his junior sister were similar in some aspects, but of course, he would not say it outright.
"Let's go to another inn and check it out now, in case it's too late and there's no room available." Ye Xiuwen calmly returned to the topic.
"Yes!" Jun Xiaomo slapped his forehead, "Then let's go there quickly." After saying that, he walked towards the door of the inn in a hurry.
Ye Xiuwen stepped forward and followed him. Before leaving the inn, he glanced at Ke Xinwen calmly.
Ke Xinwen stared at Jun Xiaomo's back with a dark and unclear look in his eyes.
Ye Xiuwen narrowed his eyes and quickly followed Jun Xiaomo.
After walking far away, Ye Xiuwen turned his head and said cautiously to Jun Xiaomo, who seemed to be in a good mood: "Yao Mo, be careful about Ke Xinwen."
Jun Xiaomo was stunned for a moment, and it took him a moment to realize what Ye Xiuwen said.
There was no way, her train of thought just now was not on this line at all, and now she came back to her senses.
"Well, I know, brother Ye, don't worry." Jun Xiaomo raised his head and smiled at Ye Xiuwen, his heart filled with warmth.
Senior brother is still so serious about the objects he decides to protect.
Jun Xiaomo understood that just because she was brought back by Ye Xiuwen, Ye Xiuwen would take the initiative to identify her as a target of protection. At least, he would not easily let people like Ke Xinwen hurt her life.
Jun Xiaomo thought for a while and said to Ye Xiuwen: "By the way, Brother Ye, I already call you 'Big Brother', so don't call me 'Yao Mo' or 'Yao Mo'. You're so out of touch." Just call me 'Xiao Mo'."
Xiaomo and Xiaomo sound the same, which can also make Jun Xiaomo feel familiar.
Xiao Mo... Ye Xiuwen inevitably thought of his junior sister again, but now he could quickly come to his senses.
"Okay, Xiaomo." Ye Xiuwen nodded and suppressed the strangeness in his heart.
Jun Xiaomo gave Ye Xiuwen a big smile.
Suddenly, Ye Xiuwen stopped and frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?" Although Jun Xiaomo couldn't see Ye Xiuwen's expression clearly through the curtain, judging from Ye Xiuwen's actions, something unusual must have happened.
Ye Xiuwen did not answer Jun Xiaomo immediately, but let go of his consciousness and felt the surrounding situation.
After a while, Ye Xiuwen said calmly: "Someone must have used the tracking paper crane."
Ye Xiuwen and Ke Xinwen were both at the pinnacle of level 12 Qi training, so if Ke Xinwen used the tracking paper crane, Ye Xiuwen could only get an ambiguous answer.
But he trusted his instincts.
"Following the paper crane? Could it be Ke Xinwen?" Jun Xiaomo is at the first level of Qi training, so it is naturally not easy to detect unless she uses the appearance talisman.
The tracking paper crane can be invisible, follow the person being tracked, and can detect the specific location of the person in real time within a certain time range.
If it was Ke Xinwen, then everything would make sense. He obviously wanted to find out where Jun Xiaomo was, and then took the opportunity to kill "Yao Mo", a potential love rival, tonight.
In the world of cultivation, as long as no one is held accountable, killing someone is a very common thing, which is very different from the laws of the mortal world.
"It's very likely to be him, unless you have other enemies." Ye Xiuwen said calmly.
Jun Xiaomo looked stern, knowing that he was being targeted.
"Where did I come from with so many enemies? I was unlucky today that Yu Wanrou drew so much hatred from me again and again." Jun Xiaomo said depressingly. She was the one who made people suffer in the past, but This time she also fell into the trap.
This was the big trouble caused by Yu Wanrou unintentionally, which made Jun Xiaomo feel like vomiting blood.
"Don't worry about it for now, we all pretend not to know." Ye Xiuwen said and continued to walk forward.
"Yeah, I think so too." Jun Xiaomo nodded and followed quickly.
Ye Xiuwen thought for a moment, then turned to Jun Xiaomo and said, "Don't worry, I have my own way to ensure your safety."
Seeing Ye Xiuwen's serious expression, Jun Xiaomo couldn't help but curled his eyes and lips, and replied with the same serious attitude: "Well, I know, and I also believe in you, Brother Ye."
Yes, she has always believed in Ye Xiuwen, not only in his character, but also in his abilities.
In fact, Jun Xiaomo also has a way to deal with Ke Xinwen. After all, she is a female devil that even the "reputable people" in the world of cultivation can't catch. If she doesn't have one or two ways to save her life, it will really be a shame for her famous name.
However, being able to enjoy the protection from Ye Xiuwen again in this life naturally means something very different to Jun Xiaomo.
I don’t know, is the method she and her senior brother thought of different? Jun Xiaomo nodded his chin and thought, a meaningful smile flashed in his eyes.
