Xu Chunniang chuckled, "Why should I be angry about this? He is the leader after all."
There is no specified time limit for the commissioned task. If you are not in a hurry, it would be a good idea to spend more time training in Hunyuan City.
"Hey, I'm just angry. What's wrong with the team leader? Isn't it just that his cultivation is higher? Can he bully others by taking advantage of his higher cultivation? He just entered the sect earlier than us."
Huo Chunyan stared at Zhuge Yun's figure, wishing she could burn a hole in him with her gaze.
This time she had to leave the mountain without even encountering a few monsters, and she felt a little unwilling.
"Did you notice just now that he was not using the usual green sword, but an iron fan?"
Xu Chunniang thought about it and it seemed to be true.
She even remembered that a long time ago, when Zhuge Yun had troubled her, he seemed to have taken out the iron fan.
She blinked in confusion, "Isn't he a swordsman? Why is he using a fan out of nowhere?"
Huo Chunyan sneered, "A peacock spreads its tail!"
As soon as she said this, she felt that the surroundings seemed to be quiet for a moment.
Zhuge Yun in front of her suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at her with an unpredictable look, and there seemed to be a dangerous look in his eyes.
Shangguan Xue glanced at her with a smile.
Receiving the gazes of the two people, Huo Chunyan reacted belatedly. It seemed that she did not transmit the words just now, but said them directly!
Xu Chunniang looked at her with complicated eyes.
Although Zhuge Yun doesn't look like the kind of person who would take revenge for personal gain, if he gets the chance, he won't let anyone who offends him off easily.
Just like the last time she was absent, he took advantage of it to make a fuss.
Huo Chunyan also thought of this, her face turned slightly pale, and she continued to transmit the message despite several complicated gazes.
"I didn't mention any names just now, so he probably didn't know I was talking about him."
Xu Chunniang didn't say anything, but just looked at her sympathetically.
Huo Chunyan's expression changed again and again, and finally she just gave up and looked like she was going to give it all up.
"It doesn't matter. Can he kill me? Haha, wanting to pursue Senior Sister Shangguan is really wishful thinking. Senior Sister Shangguan is a child of destiny. How could she possibly be interested in him?"
After delivering these words, Huo Chunyan finally calmed down.
The journey back was not peaceful, but fortunately there were two cultivators in the late foundation building stage in the team, so they managed to get out of Fengku Mountain safely.
It was not until the group returned to Hunyuan City that they finally relaxed.
Zhuge Yun smiled and looked at Shangguan Xue, "Junior sister, where do you live? Can I take you there?"
"No need, this city is safe. Senior Brother Zhuge has taken good care of me along the way, so I don't dare to cause more trouble."
"Fellow disciples should take care of each other. How can this be considered a trouble?"
Zhuge Yun's smile deepened, "Junior sister's business is my business, please don't refuse."
Shangguan Xue wanted to refuse, but she could not resist Zhuge Yun's repeated requests. In addition, since she was grateful for his help this time, she could not refuse.
"Then please trouble Senior Brother Zhuge to take me to the City Lord's Mansion."
"OK."
Zhuge Yun's expression remained unchanged, but he was quite shocked in his heart.
He had come to Hunyuan City more than once or twice, but he had never set foot in the City Lord's Mansion.
He didn't expect that Junior Sister Shangguan actually lived in the City Lord's Mansion. No wonder he and his men searched all over Hunyuan City but couldn't find any trace of her.
The other people were already used to this scene.
Over the past two days, Zhuge Yun had shown his affection to Shangguan Xue so many times that he almost opened his heart to her.
After returning to Hunyuan City, the few of them originally wanted to go directly back to Xiangyun Inn.
Now that Zhuge Yun was going to the City Lord's Mansion, they had no choice but to follow him and walk towards the City Lord's Mansion together.
After Zhuge Yun sent Shangguan Xue to the City Lord's Mansion, he agreed with her to go to Fengku Mountain together to hunt the Yuan-devouring Beast ten days later, on the grounds that they could take care of each other if they were traveling together.
Hearing Junior Sister Shangguan's agreement, he watched her enter the City Lord's Mansion in a good mood. He turned around and glanced at the four people not far away. His brows furrowed deeply and his tone became cold.
"Why are you guys still here?"
But when they looked at each other in bewilderment, he waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, go ahead and move freely. We will go to Fengkui Mountain together in ten days."
The rapid changes in expression and attitude can be described as a face-changing.
Huo Chunyan was so angry that she started complaining to Xu Chunniang on the way back.
"Is this Zhuge Yun crazy? What kind of team leader is this? He was so fascinated when he saw Senior Sister Shangguan."
Xu Chunniang frowned for something that couldn't be checked. She always felt that something was wrong.
After spending these days together, she felt that although Zhuge Yun's attitude was cold, he actually cared very much about their safety.
Even though he disliked me, I didn't take the opportunity to harm him. I can be said to have done my job conscientiously along the way.
But after meeting Shangguan Xue, there was only room for her in his eyes and he could no longer see anyone else.
She suddenly stopped, turned to look at Huo Chunyan, and asked the doubts in her heart.
"Do you feel that Senior Brother Zhuge is a little strange?"
"What's so strange about that? Aren't all male cultivators like this? When they see a powerful and beautiful female cultivator, they can't even walk."
Huo Chunyan sneered, as if she thought of some bad memories.
"What's more, Senior Sister Shangguan is extremely talented. As a disciple of a Nascent Soul Elder, she naturally has a bright future. It's normal for male cultivators to flock to her."
Is this normal
Xu Chunniang thought about it but couldn't figure it out, so she had to put her doubts aside for the time being.
Maybe she was overthinking it.
After Huo Chunyan finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something and glanced at Xu Chunniang strangely.
"But haven't you ever met this kind of male cultivator?"
Xu Chunniang was a little confused, "What?"
"I said..."
Huo Chunyan spoke slowly, her eyes constantly scanning her face.
"You have good talent and are progressing very quickly. As a disciple of the master of Qianji Peak, you should be no less talented than Shangguan Xue. What's that look in Zhuge Yun's eyes? Except for not having a master in the Nascent Soul stage, you are clearly no worse than Shangguan Xue."
Xu Chunniang was stunned for a moment before she realized what she meant. She was speechless and quickened her pace towards Xiangyun Inn.
Could it be that Huo Chunyan's soul was eaten by the soul-eating beast, which is why she said such words
"Hey, I said something wrong, isn't that okay? Don't be upset..."
Huo Chunyan slapped her head and went to chase Xu Chunniang in annoyance. When she turned a corner, she saw Zhang Yu standing in front of Xu Chunniang with a slightly red face, looking like he wanted to say something.
She felt something in her heart and stopped subconsciously.
Zhang Yu was so nervous that he didn't notice Huo Chunyan was staring at this side.
Xu Chunniang did notice it, but didn't care.
She glanced at Zhang Yu with some confusion, "Junior Brother Zhang, what's the matter?"
