The purpose of coming to Yaoxi Mountain Forest is to practice, not to hide here to eat and drink.
Yan Wugui did not hesitate: "Okay, if you are not afraid of danger."
"Can you show me the way, where is it safer?"
"No need." Yan Wugui said directly, "Just follow me."
Lu Mingshu was stunned, she thought that Yan Wugui wouldn't like her to follow. For one thing, he is here to practice in closed doors, so he naturally doesn't want his sword skills to be seen by others. Second, she only has the inner breath, so following him will definitely slow her down.
"This... isn't quite appropriate, is it?"
"Without my protection, you can't move an inch here."
Yan Wugui told her to be careful of Mr. Lianzhen, saying that debts of favor were hard to pay, but Lu Mingshu felt that she owed him a cart first. Since that day, Tuanluoshan was rescued by him, and he has been favored by him all the way. He looked fierce, but he was kind-hearted. Not only did he not leave her behind, but he also took care of her everywhere.
"Brother Yan, will this burden you too much?"
Yan Wugui said indifferently: "If I can't protect you, it means I'm not strong enough, so let's treat it as an experience!" After a pause, he continued, "However, you have to promise me one request."
"what?"
"During this period, temporarily forget that you are a disciple of Jiuyao Palace."
…
The next day, Lu Mingshu followed Yan Wugui out of the cave where he was temporarily staying, and traveled all the way across the mountains.
The beast cave is worthy of being a beast cave. They walked all the way and encountered a lot of fierce beasts.
Yan Wugui frowned and said: "Nine Yao Palace is getting deeper and deeper, we can only stay for another month at most."
A month later, Jiuyao Palace's siege of the beast cave was almost over. If you stay here at that time, you may be discovered by those who clean up the battlefield.
Lu Mingshu silently followed all the way, and suddenly said: "Brother Yan, don't you trust people too much?"
"What?" Yan Wugui responded casually while distinguishing the footprints by the water source.
"I'm also a disciple of Jiuyao Palace. If you take me with you like this, aren't you afraid that I will secretly send a message?"
Yan Wugui said: "I asked you to forget that you are a disciple of Jiuyao Palace for a while, didn't you agree?"
"If you promise, you can go back on it!"
"you will not."
He spoke so decisively that Lu Mingshu couldn't help being curious: "Why?"
"Because you hate Jiuyao Palace."
Lu Mingshu stopped.
Yan Wugui looked at her with meaningful eyes: "Xie Lianzhen's keepsake will not be sold casually. Four years ago, he came to Xichuan once, and something happened at that time."
No wonder he didn't ask Mr. Lianzhen why he gave her a token, no wonder he was willing to trust her.
"Hey, don't doubt life, okay?" Covered by a shadow, Lu Mingshu raised his head, facing Yan's homeless face.
There is a huge difference in stature, so he bent down to be at her level.
This face, because of the existence of the scar, showed a bit of anger and fierceness, but the eyes were very clean.
"You can't be too naive, but you can't be too dark." Yan Wugui said, "I save you and trust you, although there are various reasons, but the essence is because of you. If it were another person, I might not be able to save you. I might not believe it."
"..."
Thinking of something, Yan Wugui suddenly smiled, and the scarred face was a little sly because of this smile.
"You hate Jiuyao Palace, and I hate it too, why don't we vote together?"
Lu Mingshu's eyes were a little confused.
Yan Wugui straightened up and pointed to the distance: "How about we grab what they want first?"
Lu Mingshu's eyes cleared up little by little. She shook her head calmly: "Brother Yan, Jiuyao Palace has dispatched a lot of ecstasy masters this time, it's good if we don't reveal their whereabouts."
"Don't worry!" Yan Wugui patted her on the head, "I have a measure."
All day long, Lu Mingshu followed Yan Wugui on their way.
After confirming the plan, their goal was not to hunt beasts.
Yan Wugui avoided all the ferocious beasts around him, even if they were easy to kill, he didn't move, and only led Lu Mingshu on his way.
At night, they huddled in a rock crevice to rest.
The cracks in the stone were small, and it was cold at night, so the two of them huddled together back to back, wrapped in a blanket to keep warm. Anyway, Lu Mingshu was still young, not yet at the age of embarrassment.
Yan Wugui murmured: "Look at the amount of dust on your body, is it uncomfortable? If there is no other way now, I will definitely throw you out."
This cleanliness! Lu Mingshu really wanted to kick him. The two of them walked the same way, ate the same food, and cleaned up casually in the end. Who was dirtier than the other? It is simply a psychological effect!
After being quiet for a while, Yan Wugui asked again: "How old are you?"
Lu Mingshu was silent for a while, then replied, "Eleven."
"Tsk tsk tsk, you're still so flat at the age of eleven, I'm worried about your future."
Lu Mingshu ground his teeth, restraining the urge to bite him. Is it normal to be eleven years old? She's just starting to develop!
"Then how old are you?"
"nineteen."
"... Really old." Lu Mingshu was a little surprised. Yan Wugui was tall, but his temperament was too young, and he looked like a minor.
"What do you know, little girl? In another ten years, will there be any difference between you and me?"
Lu Mingshu didn't bother to talk to him. What is there to talk about this kind of unnutritious topic.
After a while, Yan Wugui bumped her arm again: "Hey, how are you doing in Jiuyao Palace?"
How are you doing? In the darkness, Lu Mingshu opened his eyes and did not answer for a long time.
After a long time, she said softly, "Brother Yan."
"Um?"
"I heard people say that there is no right parent in the world. Is it true?"
Yan Wugui was also quiet, for a while, he said: "Of course not."
"Then it's not wrong to seek revenge on your parents?"
Yan Wugui, who turned his back to her, did not answer for a long time. Where she looked, his eyes flickered on and off.
Just when Lu Mingshu thought he would not answer, he said: "Maybe in the eyes of some people, you are wrong, even in the eyes of the world, you are wrong. But as long as you think you are Yes, that's right."
Lu Mingshu didn't expect him to say these words, his deep and slow voice was very different from Yan Wugui in her impression.
The wind whined, and the night passed quietly.
The two continued on their way.
After walking like this for three days, Yan Wugui finally stopped at a hilltop.
"Here we are." He pointed to the top of the mountain, "I've touched it a long time ago, and the nest of the Snow Wing Stepping Cloud Horse is right there, a male and a female are just right."
Lu Mingshu asked: "The strength is not low, is it?"
"Well, they are all in the ecstasy state." If it were in the fusion state, he would have done it long ago.
"We can't beat it!" After reaching the trance state, his strength had a qualitative leap. Lu Mingshu didn't think that his little cleverness would be of any use in front of absolute strength.
Yan Wugui smiled evilly: "We are here to destroy, even if we can't get it, we can't let them get it."
Lu Mingshu understood in seconds. It's much easier to destroy than serious hunting...
