Chapter 40 Gu Qingchen was disliked

"Sister Yan, look, I found some spiritual herbs again, for you!"

Gu Qingchen held a few spiritual herbs that had just been pulled out of the mud in his chubby little hands and handed them to Yan Mengqi.

It had been several hours since the two entered the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.

Thanks to Yan Mengqi's carefulness along the way, she tried her best to avoid places with monsters. After a few hours, the two had hardly encountered any monsters.

Yan Mengqi had made a plan for herself before entering the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.

Avoid monsters if you can, and don't argue with any cultivators.

After all, her strength was only the first level of the True Spirit, and this level was almost at the bottom in the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.

The fight for treasures, the inheritance of relics, etc., are not something that a small True Spirit of the first level can participate in. Her only goal is the herbs and fruits scattered throughout the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.

She doesn't mind low-level ones. If she is lucky enough to encounter a few high-level herbs and fruits, then she will have hope of being promoted to the inner gate.

"Xiaochen, you pick these herbs for yourself, don't give them to me..."

Gu Qingchen has a strong sense of consciousness. He has found many times more spiritual herbs than Yan Mengqi along the way, but Gu Qingchen is not interested in these low-level spiritual herbs. In addition to eating a few spiritual fruits, he gave the rest to Yan Mengqi.

Along the way, Yan Mengqi took great care of Gu Qingchen, just like her own brother, which greatly increased Gu Qingchen's favor for her.

"I don't want them. Give them all to my sister."

Gu Qingchen shook his head. These spiritual herbs were too low-level. He looked down on them. Gu Changqing usually gave him spiritual fruits of the third and fourth levels. Gu Qingchen really looked down on these first and second level spiritual herbs.

"Okay, then I'll keep them for you first. I'll give them to you when we get out." Yan Mengqi took them first, then squatted down, touched Gu Qingchen's head, and said, "Also, Xiaochen, your voice... can't be so loud, understand?"

"My sister is weak. If we attract monsters and some bad monks, we will be in trouble."

"Oh... I know."

Gu Qingchen wanted to say that he was not afraid, but seeing Yan Mengqi's gentle eyes, he lowered his head again, as if he was a child who had done something wrong.

"Okay, let's go."

Rubbing Gu Qingchen's head, she didn't blame Gu Qingchen, but this is the law of survival for the weak.

"Sister Yan, someone is coming."

Gu Qingchen was about to leave with Yan Mengqi, but suddenly stopped and looked to the right front.

There, more than ten breaths were approaching quickly.

Yan Mengqi frowned slightly, she also noticed it, and hurriedly pulled Gu Qingchen and hid behind a piece of cloth to hide her breath.

"Hmm? Senior Brother Lan? Senior Brother Liu?"

Yan Mengqi, who was hiding behind the cloth, was suddenly startled when she saw the person coming. She was originally nervous and instantly relieved.

Yan Mengqi recognized the few people who suddenly appeared. They were all disciples of Lanyue Palace. Two of them, Senior Brother Lan and Senior Brother Liu, were also disciples of Lanyue Palace. They were all above the seventh level of True Spirit.

Seeing that the people coming were from the same sect, Yan Mengqi did not hide her figure anymore and walked out from behind Gu Qingchen directly.

"Senior Brother Lan, Senior Brother Liu!"

Several people also looked at Yan Mengqi, but they did not know her.

Yan Mengqi was only an outer disciple of Lanyue Palace. How many outer disciples of Lanyue Palace were there? As the inner sect disciples, it was normal for them not to know her.

But seeing the word "moon" embroidered on Yan Mengqi's chest, they also knew that this girl was from the same sect, and their vigilance was instantly lowered.

"It turned out to be an outer sect sister. Since we meet, let's go together." Senior Brother Lan, who was dressed in brocade, smiled slightly.

Then he suddenly realized something and looked at Gu Qingchen beside Yan Mengqi, and was stunned.

"Who is he?"

"I picked up this little brother in the secret realm..." Yan Mengqi quickly told Senior Brother Lan and the others about her encounter and journey with Gu Qingchen.

Hearing this, Senior Brother Lan didn't say anything, but Senior Brother Liu beside him spoke up.

"He's just a little brat, and it's a burden to bring him along. You have no relationship with him, so just throw him away. You can follow us, but he can't." Senior Brother Liu glanced at Gu Qingchen, then looked at Yan Mengqi, slightly blaming: "You are really careless. This is the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, full of dangers, not the outside world. Carrying such a little thing is very likely to kill you, understand?"

"Ah..."

Being suddenly scolded, Yan Mengqi was a little at a loss.

"Yes, Junior Sister, leave him behind and follow us."

"Senior Brother Liu is right, you are kind, but you are using it in the wrong place."

All the disciples of the Moon Palace echoed.

Senior Brother Liu's words were a bit harsh, but they were also true. This is not the outside world. What else can you do with a little kid besides being a burden?

Yan Mengqi also understood this, but she couldn't just leave Gu Qingchen behind.

Gu Qingchen seemed to realize something, and held Yan Mengqi tightly with her little hand, afraid that she would abandon herself too.

With her sister gone, Yan Mengqi was his only support now.

This move made Yan Mengqi's heart soften even more.

"Senior Brother Liu, I know what you said, but... I can't do it. I have a lot of spiritual herbs here, and I'll give them to you, as long as... I only ask Senior Brother Liu to let me take Xiaochen with me."

"Forget it, take it with you." Senior Brother Lan waved his hand and didn't take the spiritual herbs from Yan Mengqi's hand.

Senior Brother Lan is also a kind-hearted person, and is deeply loved by his junior brothers and sisters in the sect.

Faced with Yan Mengqi's desperate pleas, he softened his heart.

Senior Brother Liu frowned, snorted coldly, turned around and left directly: "You can take it with you, but I'm sorry I won't go with you. I don't want to play any good guy drama with you."

"Senior Brother Liu!"

Several other disciples shouted.

"If you want to follow me, follow me. If you don't want to, stay here and accompany your kind-hearted Senior Brother Lan."

"This..."

More than a dozen Lanyue Palace disciples looked at Senior Brother Liu who was leaving, and then looked at Senior Brother Lan, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Senior Brother Lan, I'm sorry..."

A disciple followed him directly.

"Brother Lan, I..."

Including Brother Lan and Brother Liu, there are twelve people in total, seven of whom followed Brother Liu, and only three chose to stay...

Following Brother Liu, several disciples, in addition to their agreement with Brother Liu's words, the more important point is... Brother Liu's strength is stronger than Brother Lan!

Although Brother Lan has a good reputation in Lanyue Palace, his realm is only the seventh level of the True Spirit, while Brother Liu... is the eighth level of the True Spirit!

In this dangerous Xuanhuang Secret Realm, it is naturally safer to follow Brother Liu, who is stronger.

"You don't follow?"

Brother Lan laughed at himself and glanced at the three people who stayed.

These three people are not strong, about the first or second level of the True Spirit, two of them are from the outer sect, and one is from the inner sect.

The three also had a bitter smile on their faces.

"We want to follow, but Senior Brother Liu may not want us. Although Senior Brother Liu did not say it explicitly, his words and actions showed that he disliked the three of us. He just thought that we were too weak and were holding him back..."

"Senior Brother Liu, I'm afraid he has wanted to get rid of us for a long time. This incident just gave him an excuse to get rid of us."

Senior Brother Lan nodded. These three disciples were not stupid.

"Come with me. I am not as strong as Liu Yang, but I, Lan Wang, will not abandon any of the junior brothers and sisters who follow me." Senior Brother Lan smiled and said to Yan Mengqi:

"Junior sister, come with me too, take the little guy next to you."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Lan!"

Yan Mengqi's voice was excited.

In this way, the original two-person team became a six-person team.
