Morning Star

Chujiu walked out from behind Mo Xinglan, looked up at him and asked in a low voice: "What did you just do to Sima Lang?"

Mo Xinglan lowered his head and asked, "Did you see what I did?"

Chujiu shook his head: "No."

"There is no best." Mo Xinglan looked up at the direction where Sima Lang disappeared, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Chujiu didn't see it, and half-jokingly and half-tentatively asked: "Why? What would happen if I saw it? Would you kill me?"

To be honest, she just saw it. She was right behind him, and she saw everything he did with his left hand behind his back. She was a little worried about her life now.

Mo Xinglan paused, a trace of displeasure flashed across his face, he lowered his head and looked at Chujiu sneerfully: "Is this the kind of person I am in the eyes of Miss Three?"

"?!" Isn't that the kind of person he is? And why does he seem a little unhappy?

"That's a good idea." Mo Xinglan continued with a smile.

Chujiu immediately moved away from Mo Xinglan and said with a smile: "Well, it's a good thing I didn't see it."

"..." Is she so afraid of him? Can he scare her away from him with just one sentence?

He suddenly felt very annoyed.

Zhang Shizhong, who was standing aside, looked at the direction Sima Lang and Xu Lian left with a confused look on his face. Although he did not see Mo Xinglan's secret actions, his opinion of Mo Xinglan had changed a little.

But in order for his plan to proceed normally, he had to leave first.

So he went forward to say goodbye. Chujiu was naturally very happy. He had been looking forward to his departure.

Not long after Zhang Shizhong left, a young man suddenly shouted excitedly: "The fog has dissipated!"

Then everyone headed towards the forest.

"Let's go." Chu Furong said, and walked towards the psychedelic forest.

*

As the four of them walked in the forest, they would occasionally encounter cultivators fighting with monsters, but they did not go up to help. Instead, they walked around them and continued walking.

After all, everyone here is a competitor, and they don't have the good intention to help. Who knows if they will bite back if they help others. Besides, everyone is capable of entering the Misty Realm, how could they be troubled by a few monsters? Even if they are stumped, it is also a kind of experience for them.

At this moment, Mo Xinglan suddenly paused and his eyes dimmed.

Chujiu thought that among the three people, only Mo Xinglan's side was the safest, so she followed Mo Xinglan closely as soon as she entered the forest. At this time, Mo Xinglan stopped, and she also stopped.

"What's the matter?" she asked puzzledly.

Her voice attracted the attention of Chu Furong and Gao Yashan who were walking in front. They also stopped and walked over with inquiring looks.

Mo Xinglan glanced at the few people and said calmly, "Someone is following us."

After just a few words, Chu Furong and Gao Yashan immediately became alert.

He was also confused. Why was he able to notice something that none of them noticed before them? Wasn't he only in the middle stage of the Earth Spirit Realm?

After hearing this, Chujiu moved closer to Mo Xinglan. If possible, she would like to hold Mo Xinglan's hand and stick to him.

Mo Xinglan's eyes darkened when he saw her like this, and a warm current passed through his heart, making him feel itchy. So he didn't get close to her but he didn't push her away either.

A group of people in the dark saw that the four people were not going to move, looked at each other and guessed that they might be discovered, so they stopped pretending and fell down in unison, surrounding the four people in the center.

The leader held up a knife and shouted: "Hand over all the treasures on you, otherwise hehe..."

Otherwise what? He didn't say it, but the wretched look on his face on the ninth day of the first lunar month explained everything.

Several eyes fell on Chujiu, especially the small section of her snow-white collarbone exposed and her arms faintly visible under the veil.

A few people were staring at Mo Xinglan's face, while others were looking at Chu Furong and Gao Yashan.

Chujiu shivered, and didn't care about anything else. He hugged Mo Xinglan's arm and shivered again and again. He trembled as he spoke: "Mo, Mo Xinglan, can you lend me some clothes? I think I might have caught a cold. I've been shivering with cold today."

The soft body pressed against his arm, warm and comfortable. He could not help but stiffen, lowering his eyes to look, and saw the white and tender skin of the girl's collarbone exposed.

My eyes flickered, my ears felt hot, and my heart was pounding as if it was about to jump out.

The next moment his eyes widened and he quickly pulled his arm out of her arms.

"Mo, Mo Xinglan?" Chujiu was stunned for a moment, and called out softly, at a loss.

He took a half step back, and without thinking, he took out a black garment from his storage ring and put it on her head.

The long dress covered her entire body.

Chujiu shuddered and looked up blankly. He looked at the people surrounding them with a cold face.

His eyes were filled with murderous intent. It seemed that he would not be able to relieve his anger unless he killed a few people today.

The people whose eyes fell on Chujiu felt displeased when they saw that Chujiu was wrapped tightly and his eyes were lost for a moment.

"Since you are unwilling to hand over the good stuff on you, then don't worry about us being rude. If you don't accept my toast, then drink the forfeit. Come on, brothers."

At the leader's command, the others rushed forward with their weapons in hand.

However, just when they thought a fight was inevitable, a figure descended from the sky, accompanied by a breath of coercion: "Stop it."

As soon as the words fell, the figure had already landed on the ground and stood in front of Chujiu and the other three.

Chujiu looked up and couldn't help but feel amused.

Wow, what a coincidence today. I see him twice in one day. Isn't this man Zhang Shizhong?

She tightened Mo Xinglan's clothes around her, and her bright eyes looked back and forth between Zhang Shizhong and the people around them.

Why does it feel like he directed and acted this out? Otherwise, how could he have come at such a coincidence? Just when they were fighting.

Similarly, Chu Furong also noticed the problem and looked at Zhang Shizhong. But it was better not to alert the enemy when the situation was unclear.

She hid her wariness.

The only one who didn't understand the situation and thought that Zhang Shizhong really came to help them was Gao Yashan.

He stepped forward and smiled gratefully, "Thank you for your help, Brother Zhang. We appreciate your kindness, but there are too many of us right now. If we start a fight, I'm afraid you will be implicated. You'd better leave us alone."

"..." Zhang Shizhong glanced at him and was speechless.

This was part of his plan, and he actually wanted him to leave? Are you kidding me?

I didn't expect that this guy has good looks but a poor brain.

But people with poor brains are easier to deceive.

Thinking of this, he became more confident. After all, these people were still new disciples, so they were inevitably naive.

He smiled and replied to Gao Yashan: "Don't worry, brother. Since you called me Brother Zhang, I will help you no matter what you say today."

"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Zhang. By the way, my name is Gao Yashan, and these are... my friends, Chu Furong, Mo Xinglan, and Chu Jiu who you have met before." Gao Yashan introduced.
