After being read by the mind, my apprentice wanted to rebel

Recalling the thrilling moment just now, both of them couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate. If they hadn't calmed down in time and didn't panic, the old man would have noticed something was wrong long ago. If discovered, the consequences would be disastrous. They didn't even dare to imagine what would happen. At this thought, they both gasped and patted their chests with lingering fear, trying to calm the waves in their hearts.

Coming back to his senses, Xie Qijun cursed himself inwardly: "After all, I was once a demon king, why am I so useless now!"

He felt very annoyed and ashamed, but at the same time he couldn't help but think, why did that mysterious old man suddenly appear here? "Did you do something just now?"

Qi Miao looked at Xie Qijun pitifully, like a wounded lamb. His voice was low and apologetic. "Just now... I couldn't help it, so I tried to use the sect's secret technique to contact other fellow disciples. I just wanted to tell them as soon as possible about the large number of living dead appearing here."

After saying this, he lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong, waiting for Xie Qijun's response.

Xie Qijun didn't want to argue with this guy. He was such an idiot that he didn't even bother to contact Lin Xian'er. "Don't act rashly in the future. Think it over carefully."

Yeah, he'll know later. Oh, it was too careless. Qi Miao was scared for a while, but how can he get out in this situation now?

The two were at a loss. Using their spiritual power would probably alarm the old man again, and they wouldn't be so lucky next time. Xie Qijun had just tried his magic power, but it bounced back directly. Fortunately, the force was weak and didn't cause any consequences.

Just then, a commotion erupted outside the inn, and a group of people hurried to the door. One of his men said anxiously, "Boss, let's go in and search!" He looked around as he spoke. It was his first official mission, so he was a little nervous and uneasy.

However, the man standing next to him, known as the boss, was observing the surrounding situation calmly and did not seem to be in a hurry to rush into the inn.

The man cursed inwardly, "Damn it! This Third Miss is such a hassle! They're just two brats. What's so good about chasing them?"

However, now that the head of the family values ​​the third young lady, he cannot pretend to obey and must take action. But looking at the familiar inn in front of him, he has his own judgment.

Then, he slapped the subordinate hard on the head and scolded him, "You've followed me for so long, and you're still so stupid. No wonder Old Li doesn't want to take you out! How could those two be so stupid as to come back here? Hurry up, we need to search somewhere else. Don't waste my time!"

After saying that, he turned around and left with everyone, leaving behind a cloud of dust.

The young man hiding behind the door patted his chest with lingering fear, thinking thankfully: "Fortunately, these people didn't come in!"

The scene that happened in the store just now still had him in shock. If these people really came to the store to make trouble again, the owner might be so angry that he would close the store and stop operating. In that case, wouldn't he be out of a job? The thought of this made the young man shudder and pray in his heart that such a thing would not happen again.

As he walked, he muttered to himself, "That was a close call..." and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Then he tiptoed to the window and carefully observed the movements outside through the window. After confirming that those people really would not come back, the young man breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to his work.

Looking at the boy's startled movements, the shopkeeper said nothing, but the contempt in his eyes was evident, as if to say, "Look at how cowardly you are!" However, he forgot his trembling hands hidden under the cabinet.

Lin Xian'er felt refreshed after a good sleep, but she got a headache when she thought about the things she still had to do today. She was getting further and further away from her dream of a life of lying down.

[Tongzi, can you directly find out the whereabouts of Xie Qijun and the other person?]

[Host, wait a moment], after about a minute, [Host, I've thought about it seriously, how about we run away.]

Lin Xian'er, who was about to go out for dinner, stopped and closed the door again. [What's going on?]

[The Chen family has an ancestor who is a powerful cultivator at the peak of the Fusion Stage. If we go there, we'll basically be sending ourselves to our deaths. Forget it. As for Xie Qijun and the other two, we can only sigh that their fates are miserable.]

"Peak of the Fusion Stage!" Upon hearing this news, Lin Xian'er was shocked, her face turning grim. A peak Fusion Stage cultivator was a top-tier figure in the cultivation world, and a Nascent Soul cultivator like her was simply no match for him.

Lin Xian'er sighed helplessly, "Alas, this is troublesome. I didn't expect the Chen family to have such a powerful foundation. There is no way we can compete with them."

She frowned, pondering how to safely rescue Xie Qijun and Qi Miao, but ultimately came up empty-handed. Facing a peak-level fusion expert, she was completely helpless. Even with the system's support, she knew better than to be safe. After all, they could kill her in a matter of seconds.

Finally, she could only say helplessly: "It seems that there is really no way to save Xie Qijun and Qi Miao this time. I can only hope that they can fend for themselves. I will definitely return to the sect immediately and burn incense for them during the holidays. Amen." After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh again, his heart full of regret. Two geniuses fell like this.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Xian'er packed up her things at an extremely fast speed and appeared in front of Qi Yu in an instant.

"Don't just stand there! Pack your things and follow me!" Lin Xian'er said to Qi Yu with a serious face.

When Qi Yu saw her expression, he immediately understood the seriousness of the matter, so he no longer hesitated, quickly packed his and his sister's luggage, carried his sister who had already woken up on his back, and followed Lin Xian'er's footsteps closely to leave the inn together.

Before long, the three of them arrived outside the city. Following the system's instructions, Lin Xian'er led them to a secluded cave. Then, she turned to the two and said, "Let's rest here for a while."

Qi Yu and the other man didn't ask any questions and rested quietly in the cave.

[Tongzi, is there a portal like Doraemon that allows you to travel through time and space at will?]

"Host, are you really going to save them?" the system asked, somewhat puzzled. "That's not the host's style. Isn't he going to survive to the bitter end? Isn't he going to stay out of trouble even if he's beaten to death? Isn't he going to absolutely avoid putting himself in danger?"

[If you can save him, then save him. After all, he is my disciple. Two lives are at stake. I am really a conflicted person. Hurry up and check if you can find that thing.] Although Lin Xian'er is afraid of death, she still has some moral integrity. If possible, she will save him.

[Host, no, our system is configured with things from the world of immortal cultivation. Those things are beyond the laws of this world and will be struck by lightning.]

Is there anything similar?

After waiting for a long time, the system didn't respond. Lin Xian'er didn't worry. She knew the two people wouldn't be in danger for a while. After all, one of them was the hero! What was the hero? The hero was the protagonist of this world, possessing powerful luck and strength. No matter how great the difficulties were, he could overcome them.

"Master Lin, where are we going now?" Qi Yu asked cautiously. He was extremely anxious and wanted to rush to Xiaoyun Sect to treat his sister. However, he didn't know if Lin Xian'er had any other plans at the moment.

Lin Xian'er slowly turned her head, her beautiful eyes gleaming with a calm and profound light as she calmly scanned Qi Yu and Qi Lian. She mused to herself that having these two constantly following her was truly troublesome. Their presence not only restricted her freedom of movement but also put her life in constant danger. However, the demon seed within Qi Lian's body, which only Xie Qijun could remove, undoubtedly caused her immense distress.

"Her heart-eating poison won't break out for the time being, but the most difficult problem now is how to deal with the demon seed." Lin Xian'er muttered to herself, frowning slightly, and fell into deep thought.
