Even if Ye Xiuwen heard the discussions of those behind him, he wouldn't care. The forces in the Xuyang Sect are even more intertwined. From top to bottom, from master to apprentice, various large and small power groups have been formed, among which the sect leader He Zhang is the most powerful. In this situation, Jun Linxuan, who has always maintained a neutral attitude, has not been linked to any small group, and only focuses on cultivation, seems to be an anomaly.
Under the leadership of Jun Linxuan, the disciples of Lintian Peak also developed a temperament similar to his, and one or two of them became crazy cultivators. Ye Xiuwen could sense the rejection of Lintian Peak by other people in the Xuyang Sect, but in his opinion, there was no need to distort one's temperament for the sake of so-called "popularity". Go out of your way to please others.
After following Ye Xiuwen back to the room, Jun Xiaomo wanted to take off the invisibility charm on his body, but Ye Xiuwen stopped him.
"Xiao Mo, don't reveal the invisibility charm right now. It's still very early, and they might turn back, or come to me after visiting the market."
Jun Xiaomo's hand that was about to take off the invisibility talisman paused slightly, smiled coquettishly, and said, "Brother Ye, you were so thoughtful, I almost took off the invisibility talisman."
Although the possibility of that group of people coming to Ye Xiuwen on their own initiative is very small, they are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. If that group of people find out that "Yao Mo" is staying in Ye Xiuwen's room, then what Jun Xiaomo said before All the arrangements made were wasted.
Ye Xiuwen couldn't see what Jun Xiaomo looked like now, but he could also guess what this "little boy" looked like now. He curled his lips and said, "It doesn't matter, just pay attention next time. By the way, the little guy in your arms should be holding it back, so let it out."
"Ah! Yes, I almost forgot!" Jun Xiaomo hurriedly took out the little dumpling and unveiled the mute note on its back.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak!" As soon as the mute note was taken off, Xiaotuanzi shouted angrily at Jun Xiaomo. It felt that Jun Xiaomo had put the mute note on it without its consent. This is an insult to it!
Xiaotuanzi has never tried to get angry at Jun Xiaomo. It has always been very protective of Jun Xiaomo. It seems that this time it is really angry.
Seeing Xiaotuanzi's dark eyes filled with anger, Jun Xiaomo felt a little guilty.
She knew that Xiaotuanzi was very spiritual, but in Jun Xiaomo's eyes, Xiaotuanzi was still a little animal no matter how spiritual he was. She put a mute note on Xiaotuanzi just to make sure everything was safe.
"Okay, I'm sorry, I will definitely discuss it with you next time and stick it with you after we agree, okay?" Jun Xiaomo gently stroked Xiaotuanzi's snow-white and soft hair with his index finger, trying to smooth it out. Smooth hair.
"Zhizhi!" Xiaotuanzi called out twice angrily - and next time? !
Jun Xiaomo didn't understand the meaning of Xiaotuanzi's two sounds at all. He thought Xiaotuanzi meant "agree", so he continued to follow Xiaotuanzi's hair and stopped talking.
Xiaotuanzi knew that Jun Xiaomo hadn't figured out the real reason for his anger, so he couldn't help but bite Jun Xiaomo's index finger. This time, he bit down really hard.
Jun Xiaomo only felt a pain in his fingertips, and some fluid seemed to ooze out, probably bleeding.
Xiaotuanzi also smelled the smell of blood in his mouth. It couldn't help but gradually relax its strength, and finally bit Jun Xiaomo's index finger and licked it. After making sure that there was no bloody smell, it turned around, turned its back to Jun Xiaomo, and stopped paying attention to her.
Jun Xiaomo felt that Xiaotuanzi was quite considerate, and even when he was so angry, he was not willing to harm himself excessively.
Jun Xiaomo touched Xiaotuanzi's head with his index finger. Xiaotuanzi's ears moved but he did not turn around.
Jun Xiaomo knew that Xiaotuanzi would not be able to get rid of his anger for a while, so he could only smooth his fur while opening his chat clip with Ye Xiuwen, who was sitting quietly beside him drinking tea.
"Hey, Brother Ye, I'm kidding you. This little guy of mine has a really bad temper." Jun Xiaomo said sheepishly.
"No, I think it's pretty good." Ye Xiuwen said honestly.
Ye Xiuwen was sitting opposite Jun Xiaomo, drinking tea slowly while watching their two pets having fun, with a faint smile on his lips that even he didn't know about.
He suddenly felt that it would be good to meet the young man Yao Mo during his travels. At least he could have a more hilarious atmosphere around him, and he would not have to face people with ulterior motives like Qin Lingyu and Ke Xinwen alone.
Jun Xiaomo couldn't see Ye Xiuwen's expression, but he could feel that he was in a good mood, and Jun Xiaomo's mood became much more relaxed due to his infection.
Jun Xiaomo smoothed Xiaotuanzi's hair for a while, and suddenly remembered something -
"By the way, Brother Ye, do you still remember the black wind giant tooth tiger and the group of bloodthirsty demon rats that you just met in the woods?"
"Remember, what's wrong?" Ye Xiuwen raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice.
Although he couldn't see anyone, Ye Xiuwen knew that "Yao Mo" was sitting there.
"When we came back, we guessed that someone had tampered with it, otherwise we wouldn't have happened to encounter a manic spirit beast twice in a row. Brother Ye, who do you think is the most likely person?"
Ye Xiuwen took a sip of tea and said with cold eyes, "I have a suspicion, but I'm not sure yet."
"You're talking about Ke Xinwen, right?" Jun Xiaomo named the person directly. At that time, she and Ye Xiuwen returned to the inn early and sat at the table waiting for Ke Xinwen and the others. As a result, when they first saw Ye Xiuwen, Ke Xinwen failed to restrain his strange expression and was attracted by Jun Xiaomo. Together with Ye Xiuwen, we saw the clues.
"I do doubt him, but I won't jump to conclusions without evidence." Ye Xiuwen replied calmly.
Naturally, he would not easily let go of those who wanted to harm him, but he would not retaliate against innocent people without evidence.
Jun Xiaomo nodded to express his understanding.
In fact, both Ke Xinwen and Qin Lingyu have the motive to harm Ye Xiuwen - soon, the annual ranking competition of the same level in the cultivation world will begin. If they both succeed in building the foundation this time, it will be equal to them. They will become each other's opponents in the base-building qualifying period. Ye Xiuwen has performed very well in qualifying competitions over the years. Although Qin Lingyu is the disciple of the sect leader, he has never defeated Ye Xiuwen once and was beaten by Ye Xiuwen every time.
The ranking matches after the foundation building period have completely different meanings than those during the Qi training period. Only some small sects will pay attention to the ranking matches during the Qi training period, but after the foundation building period, many large sects will pay attention. It was placed on top, so Qin Lingyu naturally didn't want to lose to Ye Xiuwen again.
Qin Lingyu did beat Ye Xiuwen in the foundation-building qualifying competition in his previous life. At that time, Jun Xiaomo was focused on Qin Lingyu and thought everything about him was good, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with Qin Lingyu's victory over Ye Xiuwen. But now, after Jun Xiaomo has experienced so many things, he can naturally see clearly the strength gap between Qin Lingyu and Ye Xiuwen.
To be honest, with Qin Lingyu's current level, it is almost impossible to win against Ye Xiuwen, unless he encounters some adventure during this trip.
Jun Xiaomo was immersed in his own thoughts, while Ye Xiuwen continued to drink tea calmly.
"Zhizhi?" Xiaotuanzi found that the fingers on his head had stopped and couldn't help shouting, interrupting Jun Xiaomo's thoughts.
"Eh? What's wrong with you, little dumpling? Are you hungry?" Jun Xiaomo scratched its ears, then took out a bag of pine nuts from the storage ring, picked out the largest pine nut, and put it in In front of Xiaotuanzi, he said, "Be good, eat."
Xiaotuanzi glanced at Songzi with disgust, lay down on the table and pretended to be dead, motionless.
"Since you're not hungry... are you still angry?" Jun Xiaomo felt that Xiaotuanzi's thoughts were getting harder and harder to guess.
Ye Xiuwen chuckled, because Xiaotuanzi was facing him, so he could see Xiaotuanzi's "expression" clearly.
"It's not hungry at all. It just feels comfortable being caressed by you. If you stop, it'll get angry again."
"Eh? Is that so?" Jun Xiaomo said in surprise, wanting to turn in front of Xiaotuanzi to observe whether this was the case.
"Zhizhi!" Ye Xiuwen saw through Xiaotuanzi's thoughts. He felt unhappy and yelled at him twice.
Well, with its small stature, no matter how ferocious it is, it has a certain degree of control, and it has no deterrent effect at all.
Ye Xiuwen continued to drink tea calmly.
Jun Xiaomo was amused by Xiaotuanzi. She burst out laughing, then touched Xiaotuanzi's head and said, "Okay, I know you are very powerful. Come on, you haven't eaten anything today. Eat the pine nuts obediently, Brother Ye and I still have something to discuss."
Xiaotuanzi was very depressed. In Jun Xiaomo's eyes, he would always be a little dumpling in his pocket, unable to help with important matters at all.
Well, with its current situation, it really can't be of much help.
Xiaotuanzi stopped shouting, but pulled the pine nuts in front of him, and gnawed the pine nuts unhappily.
A peaceful and warm afternoon passed like this.
It was night, and a dark shadow came out of the inn where they were staying, and quickly went to another inn.
Because this town is very small, there is no entertainment place at night. Everyone goes home early, and there are only a few scattered people wandering on the street. The black shadow rushed past them quickly, and many people just thought it was a natural wind passing by them.
The shadow came to the inn where Jun Xiaomo had booked a room, and stopped directly on the verandah on the second floor. The clouds parted at this moment, and the faint moonlight illuminated the black shadow's appearance—
It was Ke Xinwen who wanted to come for a sneak attack.
Room 5 on the second floor…
Ke Xinwen carefully identified the house number and determined that Jun Xiaomo was behind this room. He walked around to the window and tried to jump in. As a result, the window and door were both closed and could not be pushed open. .
"Ha, it seems that this Yao Mo is still a bit vigilant." Ke Xinwen sneered, and then a wind blade directly split the door lock inside.
However, the moment the door lock broke, a strong light suddenly burst out from inside. This light had a strong impact and knocked Ke Xinwen back several steps, almost falling from the railing of the outer corridor. Turn it out!
"Ahem..." Ke Xinwen choked out the smell of blood. He received this blow without any precautions. He was obviously injured.
However, for Ke Xinwen, this was only a minor injury.
"Sure enough, there are only a few, but a level 1 formation master can only reach this level. Phew!" Ke Xinwen spat disdainfully, took out a pill, and drank it.
The pain in his chest soon subsided. Ke Xinwen looked at the door that was still closed, a fierce light flashed in his eyes -
He had never thought about killing this formation master. At most, he would make the other party suffer and be unable to keep up with their team tomorrow.
Now, this formation master actually caused him to be injured. He couldn't let this guy get better so easily!
Ke Xinwen thought like this and tried to push open the door with his hand, broke in and killed "Yao Mo" directly.
He had just used the wind blade to split the lock, so Ke Xinwen easily pushed open the door.
There was joy on his face, and just as he was about to stride across the threshold, another ray of light suddenly burst out of the room. Ke Xinwen quickly ducked to the side this time, thinking that he would be able to avoid the impact.
However, this time the light was not an impact, but a suction. Ke Xinwen was just grazed by the light at the corner of his clothes, and his whole body was sucked in...
"Bang!" The door suddenly closed, startling a tired bird on the tree, but it didn't attract any more attention.
Outside the door, it was quiet and the moon was shining brightly. No one knew what had happened here or what was about to happen.
