#2817 - Good idea, I like you.
"No, it's inconvenient for you to follow us."
"We came here from the outside to train. If we encounter others, they will recognize each other."
"If you follow us, you will inevitably be recognized."
Mo Qingli said.
"What does it matter? Would your people kill all the living beings here?"
The Xuanming Serpent didn't expect to be rejected and was naturally unwilling.
Now, only this human youth has the mark. If it doesn't follow him, it won't be able to find the person behind the scenes.
Besides, the person behind the scenes must be very strong. It's afraid it can't deal with him alone.
It needs to join hands with this human youth to deal with him. Going alone would put it in danger, or even lead to a dead end.
"Alright, let him follow," Jun Wuxie said decisively. Mo Qingli hesitated, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
In fact, she knew she shouldn't object.
After all, it's the Xuanming Serpent who wants to follow Jun Shen.
If such a powerful bloodline creature can eventually be subdued, it would be a great help.
Based on the situation, the Xuanming Serpent should not have any members of its clan here.
Being alone here, and not having grown up yet, there is a chance of accidents.
It's just that, thinking about having someone following beside herself and Jun Shen, she feels uncomfortable.
She doesn't like to be in contact with unfamiliar creatures.
Over the years, no one but Jun Shen has been able to get close to her and make her willing to approach.
Even in the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect, she always acted alone.
She rarely spent time with the elders and sect leader whom she regarded as family.
When going out for training, she only brought two junior sisters, and most of the time she acted alone.
"You agreed?"
"Agreed is agreed, but you can't just follow us directly.
After all, we don't know who is behind the scenes now, and we don't know if the person behind the scenes has any connection or relationship with the people who came in this time.
Once they find out you are following us and recognize your identity, wouldn't we be very passive?"
"Then what do you want me to do to follow you?"
"You need to make some changes so that people can't recognize you.
I have a means of transformation. I will use it now, and you must not resist."
Jun Wuxie said, reaching out to the Xuanming Serpent.
The Xuanming Serpent subconsciously took a few steps back.
"If you don't trust me, why follow me?"
"You... Come on."
The Xuanming Serpent thought for a while, gritted its teeth, and took the initiative to step forward.
Jun Wuxie's palm landed on its shoulder, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The Xuanming Serpent immediately felt uneasy. The smile made it have a bad feeling, and just as it was about to react, it was too late.
A mysterious force entered its body, flowing through its limbs.
The Xuanming Serpent's human body quickly shrunk in a burst of light, becoming only as big as a fist.
"Ah!! Damn it, what have you turned me into!"
The Xuanming Serpent shouted. It checked its appearance with its divine sense and was immediately angered.
It was just that its appearance when jumping up at this time was a bit funny, like a black stone popping up.
"Ah!! You actually turned me into a turtle, I'm so angry!
You quickly turn me back, I quit!!"
It shouted loudly, angrily crashing towards Jun Wuxie's face, and waving its short legs to beat Jun Wuxie's face.
Jun Wuxie reached out and pinched its neck with two fingers.
The Xuanming Serpent subconsciously shrank, wanting to retract its turtle head into its shell.
But because its neck was pinched by Jun Wuxie, it couldn't shrink in no matter how hard it tried. Its body was suspended in the air, and its limbs were kicking, looking very funny.
"Yuan Chu, you坑货, you坑 me, I'm not done with you!"
The Xuanming Serpent was furious. It had been turned into a turtle!
"Be calm, this way you won't be recognized.
It's just an appearance, don't worry about these details.
Our ultimate goal is to find the schemer, isn't it?"
"That's right, but..."
"Then don't but. To succeed, you have to make sacrifices.
Besides, it's just temporarily becoming a turtle, you haven't lost a piece of meat, so what's the big deal?"
"It seems to make sense, but it seems like something is wrong again. Are you brainwashing me?"
"Nonsense, is your brain so stupid that it can be brainwashed by my few words?
You are very smart, don't doubt yourself, and don't underestimate yourself."
"Really? Am I really that smart?
I forgive you for being able to talk. I'll wrong myself for the time being."
The Xuanming Serpent jumped onto Jun Wuxie's shoulder and lay lazily, "Yuan Chu, take me away."
Jun Wuxie smiled and said nothing. He immediately walked out of the main hall side by side with Mo Qingli, casually applying rune dao, communicating with the earth's veins here, and sealing the place.
On the way to leave the underwater ancient city, the Xuanming Serpent shrank its turtle head and smiled secretly, its eyes rolling around.
If you pay attention, you can see a hint of smugness in its eyes.
Haha, so what if you are stronger than me, you still have to be my mount.
This is its current mental activity.
Jun Wuxie didn't know what it was thinking. If he knew, he might have swollen its turtle head.
If Mo Qingli knew what it was thinking, she might have killed it directly.
They didn't appear directly on the lake, but returned to the place where they first went down to the lake along the way they came.
When they got here, Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli both had different expressions in their eyes.
They sensed strange auras by the lake.
The characteristic of this lake is that the shore cannot sense the situation under the lake, but being in the lake can sense the situation on the shore.
"There are people on the shore. Are they your people?"
The Xuanming Serpent also noticed it. It vigilantly raised its turtle head on Jun Wuxie's shoulder, and its pair of turtle eyes stared up.
"Judging from the aura, it is indeed someone from our sect, but it's hard to say whether they are friends or foes.
Don't talk later, restrain your aura."
Jun Wuxie instructed, and then he and Mo Qingli began to float up.
Before long, they appeared on the lake. They saw a young man sitting on the top of a mountain rock by the lake, with his legs crossed, looking over comfortably.
"Junior Brother Yuan Chu, Junior Sister Su, we are really destined. I didn't expect to meet you here."
"That's really a coincidence. May I ask what this senior brother is called?"
Jun Wuxie knew that this person was a true disciple, who should have been in the back, but now he appeared here, obviously waiting for him deliberately.
He didn't know how he knew that he and Qingli were in this lake.
If he didn't know, why would he wait here deliberately?
It seems that this true disciple has a special way to find the traces of himself and Qingli.
"You can call me Senior Brother Qi Xu."
Qi Xu stood up, jumped down from the mountain rock, came to Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli, his eyes paused slightly on the turtle on Jun Wuxie's shoulder.
"Junior Brother Yuan Chu also has such hobbies, likes to keep small pets, and brings them out for training. It's quite elegant."
This statement immediately angered the Xuanming Serpent.
It had the urge to stretch out its turtle head and spray Qi Xu's face.
Damn it, what kind of eyes are those?
You are the pet, your whole family are pets, damn human pet!
The Xuanming Serpent cursed in its heart!
How unreasonable, to actually say that it is Yuan Chu's pet, this is an insult to its noble bloodline!
Jun Wuxie looked sideways at the little turtle lying on his shoulder and said to Qi Xu: "So it's Senior Brother Qi Xu, who is ranked ninth on the True Disciple Billboard.
I wonder what Senior Brother Qi Xu is waiting for me and Qingqian here."
"Junior Brother Yuan Chu, don't be nervous. We are fellow disciples. Senior brother only has care for you, and has no intention of targeting you.
This training is not simple, you will encounter many dangerous creatures.
Senior Brother Hua appreciates your and Junior Sister Su's immortal talents, and specially told me to ensure your safety.
Presumably you have heard about Senior Brother Hua in the sect.
Senior Brother Hua, although sometimes his style of doing things is relatively strong, he has always only been strong against those who oppose him.
Treating his own people, treating the outstanding immortal talents of the sect, Senior Brother Hua is very attentive.
Otherwise, he would not have told me to protect you well."
"Is that so? Then after Senior Brother Qi Xu goes out, please thank Senior Brother Hua for me."
"You're welcome, we are all fellow disciples. Your immortal talents are outstanding, and you are the direct disciples of the Supreme Offering, so we naturally have to treat you well.
However, speaking of thanks, Senior Brother Hua really doesn't need your thanks.
Senior Brother Hua, who protects and cultivates the sect's geniuses, never asks for anything in return.
He only wants the best for the sect.
Therefore, the disciples of the sect mostly respect Senior Brother Hua.
I wonder if Junior Brother Yuan Chu and Junior Sister Su are willing to have a closer relationship with Senior Brother Hua.
We are very welcome to join Senior Brother Hua's circle.
When Senior Brother Hua fully takes over the sect in the future, you will also receive better care and preferential treatment."
These words began to have a bit of coercion, saying that Senior Brother Hua's strength is only aimed at those who stand on the opposite side.
The meaning is that if you choose to stand on the opposite side of Senior Brother Hua, the consequences will be very serious.
The following words are temptation, using the way of drawing big cakes to promise benefits, saying what will happen after Hua Feiyu takes over the sect.
"Senior Brother Qi Xu, you are serious.
Qingqian and I have just joined the Supreme Offering, and many things cannot be decided by our will.
You know, Qingqian and I came from casual cultivation, and we have been walking on thin ice all the way.
We deeply cherish our current status, position, and cultivation environment, and we shouldn't make decisions on our own, fearing we might take the wrong path and displease our master.
We don't know our master's intentions.
If our master nods in agreement, we would naturally be willing to get closer to Senior Brother Hua.
If our master disapproves, there's nothing we can do.”
Jun Wuxie cleverly passed the buck to Senior Sister Jinse.
Now that Senior Sister Jinse isn't here, Hua Feiyu's people can't get a response and can't confirm anything in their hearts.
It's not suitable to fall out with Hua Feiyu's people at this time; a direct refusal would be detrimental to this training exercise.
After all, we haven't seen a single shadow of the creatures from the underground alien space world, and we haven't earned any points yet.
If we provoke trouble with a true disciple like this, it will inevitably bring inconvenience to obtaining points.
“Junior Brother Yuanchu and Junior Sister Su, is that really what you think?”
Qi Xu stared intently at Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli, wanting to get an answer from their eyes.
“Naturally, that's what we think. As newly appointed personal disciples, we don't know much about our master and wouldn't dare to make decisions on our own.
We came from humble beginnings as rogue cultivators, and we must be cautious in every step we take.
If we anger our master, the consequences could be severe.
Senior Brother Qi Xu should be able to understand our difficulties.”
“Hahaha, Junior Brother Yuanchu, what are you saying?
How could I not understand you?
Since that's the case, let's not mention this matter for now.
We'll talk about it later when you've figured out the Supreme Offering's intentions.”
Qi Xu was half-convinced, but he had no choice.
He couldn't be sure what Yuanchu was really thinking.
Since Yuanchu didn't directly refuse, he couldn't act.
Senior Brother Hua said that the first step was to try to win over Yuanchu and test his attitude.
If Yuanchu's intention to refuse was clear, then he should be killed.
But this was based on the premise that Yuanchu explicitly refused.
Right now, Yuanchu's answer didn't seem like a clear refusal, no matter how you looked at it.
Indeed, they came from humble beginnings as rogue cultivators and acted cautiously, which was in line with their identity and mentality.
It was normal for them not to know enough about the Supreme Offering since they had just become his disciples.
In this situation, it was understandable and plausible that they wouldn't dare to make decisions on their own.
“Junior Brother Yuanchu and Junior Sister Su, you should have obtained a third-grade immortal treasure in this lake.
That immortal essence is quite pure and should be considered a rare third-grade immortal treasure.”
“Senior Brother Qi Xu, are you interested in the third-grade immortal treasure?”
“Not at all. I'm just asking casually. Third-grade immortal treasures are useless to me and can only be exchanged for money.
Besides, that's an opportunity you obtained, how could I possibly have any ideas? Junior Brother Yuanchu, don't misunderstand.
I'm just impressed by your good fortune, obtaining a rare immortal treasure as soon as you arrived in the Land of Forgotten.”
“Yes, it was purely luck.”
“Alright, Junior Brother Yuanchu, Junior Sister Su, continue your training.
I still need to check on the other junior brothers and sisters to implement the tasks given by the sect and fulfill my duties.”
As Qi Xu spoke, he casually threw over a jade slip, “If you encounter any difficulties you can't solve, you can crush the jade slip, and I will come to help you as soon as possible.”
After Qi Xu finished speaking, he leaped up, his body like a streak of immortal light drawing a long parabola in the sky, and disappeared.
“Yuanchu, Brother, that Qi Xu… … ”
Mo Qingli's eyes were a little cold. Just now, for a moment, she felt a very subtle killing intent on Qi Xu.
If her soul wasn't strong enough, she wouldn't have been able to sense it at all.
It meant that for a brief moment, Qi Xu had the intention to kill.
“Hua Feiyu's lackey, acting according to Hua Feiyu's will.”
Mo Qingli's expression was solemn: “We fooled him this time, preventing him from judging our intentions.
But that's not a long-term solution.
I'm afraid that if it happens two more times, they will see that we are playing with them, and then… … ”
“It doesn't matter, we'll talk about it then.
It's only a matter of time before we stand against Hua Feiyu.”
“Yuanchu, was that human pet just now your fellow disciple?
Why is that kid so eager to be walked?
I can't see through his realm, is he very strong?”
The Xuanming Flood Dragon said angrily on his shoulder.
“Human pet?”
Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli were both stunned for a moment.
“That's right, one day, I will tie him up with a rope, take him out for a walk, and let people see what my human pet is like.
By the way, what realm is he in?”
“Not a bad idea, I'm rooting for you.
As for the realm, it's not very high, a true disciple of the sect, just in the Chaos Realm, only two major realms higher than you.”
When the Xuanming Flood Dragon heard this, its upright and proud turtle head couldn't help but shrink back, muttering: “The human pet's realm is quite high.
Just wait, when I reach the Chaos Realm, I will catch him and raise him!
Damn it, how dare he say I'm a little pet! He's the pet, his whole family is pets!”
Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli looked at each other. It turned out that the Xuanming Flood Dragon hated Qi Xu so much because of this.
This guy is really vindictive.
