"If I just hide and meditate in a safe place all day long, fearing that if I move casually, I will die, then what is the difference between me and the canary in the cage?"
"Is this kind of life what I, Nalan Hexi, want to live? Absolutely not!"
"What's more, I'm not alone. I have Dandan, Xiaozi and Longlong by my side, and they can help me as well." Hexi took a deep breath, her tone has become decisive, "So, if If you are a friend, don't stop me!"
Wuxin and Gu Liufeng looked at each other, speechless for a while.
Wuxin wanted to follow, but her injuries hadn't healed.
Gu Liufeng also wanted to follow, but he didn't have an invitation letter, and the hunting conference wasn't open to just anyone.
The room was silent for a while, and no one spoke for a long time.
Suddenly a loud laugh came from outside the door: "Oh, you really deserve to be my apprentice. You have ambition and ability. I really confiscated you as an apprentice."
As soon as the words were finished, the door was pushed open with a bang, and the old man appeared in front of him, dressed in rags and reeking of alcohol.
He burped, and said with a chuckle: "However, the little baby speaks nicely, but his strength is really weak. When he encounters the Jindan stage, he can only fight at the expense of his own cultivation. If he encounters the Nascent Soul stage Well, tsk tsk tsk... That's really bad. At that time, the good apprentice that the old man managed to find will be gone, oops... Wouldn't it be that there will be no good wine and good food... Not good, not good! It's not good! "
Wuxin and Gu Liufeng were worrying, when they heard the old man suddenly come to mess around, they couldn't help but irritatedly said: "Senior, you clearly know that Hexi is going to take risks, but you don't help to think of a way, why are you just talking sarcastic here."
"Who said that the old man is only good at making sarcastic remarks?" The old man was upset when he heard it, and immediately said: "Didn't the old man come to find a way? Oh, I said good boy, you have to go to that troublesome event." Is it a competition? If you are gone, as a teacher, won’t I not be able to eat fresh dishes for several months?”
Hexi glared at him, and said coldly: "Don't worry, I will prepare half a year's worth of dishes and fine wine for you, I hope you won't get drunk to death, master!"
"Hahaha... To be drunk to death with good wine, to be fed to death with delicious food, isn't it the greatest enjoyment in life! You disciple really knows what it means to be a teacher." Not only was the old man not annoyed when he heard the words, but he laughed happily, " Since you are so well-behaved, as a teacher, you have to fulfill your obligations as a teacher..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared in place, and Hexi also disappeared with him.
Wuxin and Gu Liufeng were shocked and wanted to catch up, but they couldn't even feel the breath of the old man and Hexi at all.
Then, they heard the old man laughing from afar.
"Two little dolls, don't worry, I'm just teaching my good apprentice a little bit of self-protection skills, and keep her safe and sound when she comes back from the hunting competition."
===
It was already the tenth day after Hexi was taken away by the beggar old man, and there were only three days left before the hunting conference started.
Gu Liufeng sat alone in the other courtyard at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, frowning slightly and drinking.
Suddenly, he felt a gust of cold air rushing through his back, which made him shudder.
