"Yiyi, she must have gone to get reinforcements. You are not strong enough to fight against those elders now. Let's leave quickly."

Pei Zhiyi nodded, looked at the wound on his palm caused by the burn of the formation, and felt a little disappointed when he thought of Jian Gu.

No matter what, she will get back what belongs to her sooner or later!

After leaving Jian Xuetian, Pei Zhiyi first re-sorted out his own meridians, and after confirming that the body made of agarwood would not have any other side effects, he took the two little ones on the journey to the human race.

"The human race is always the place with the most disputes, so the power of faith will also be the most. Let's go directly to the human race."

Qilin and Bai Ze were jumping up and down beside them. They had never been out before and were extremely happy. "Okay."

"Through this forest is the human capital."

Pei Zhiyi once took Jian Xuetian and those ungrateful people to the Royal Capital Immortal Guard Division to complete a mission... If the time was calculated correctly, now was the time for the major sects to let their disciples enter the secular world for training.

In a blink of an eye, time flies by so fast...

"I hope I don't run into those fleas on the way."

Pei Zhiyi put away the hand-drawn map and walked into the forest.

"Yiyi, what are the human race like?"

Pei Zhiyi thought for a moment, "Busy, lively, noisy."

Bai Ze and Qilin didn't quite understand, so they stood on the left and right, each asking a question, and kept asking noisily.

Pei Zhiyi was not impatient and patiently answered the two little ones' strange questions, so the journey was not so boring.

"Gu Xizhou! You can't run away today."

There were sounds of fighting and quarreling in the distance. Pei Zhiyi wanted to take a detour, but suddenly thought of the ability given to her by that woman... Maybe she could test the waters first.

"You two should first transform your spiritual power into nothingness, and don't let anyone see you."

The simultaneous birth of these two spiritual beasts, Qilin and Bai Ze, was shocking enough. If someone saw them appearing beside her at the same time, she would probably be in endless trouble.

And she hates trouble.

"Good~"

The two little ones are very well behaved when it comes to serious matters.

Pei Zhiyi continued to walk forward, and the conversation between the visitors became clearer and clearer.

"Gu Xizhou, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being a sickly person. If you were just a sickly person, it would be fine. Wouldn't it be better for you to just wait for death? But you had to interfere in the fight for the crown prince, so you have to die anyway."

"Cough cough."

The sickly Gu Xizhou wanted to refute, but his health was not good and he kept coughing.

The killers felt a little bit sorry when they heard this, especially since this sickly girl was as beautiful as a woman, yet so fragile, with a feeling of sick beauty. If they were not men, they would probably be seduced by her beauty.

"You could have died of natural causes, eh."

The assassin boss felt a little sympathetic towards him, but he still had to kill him, otherwise he would not be able to get the spirit stone.

"Go! Kill him now while his secret guards are being distracted by the other brothers!"

Although I don’t know why he appears in such a desolate place today, the opportunity cannot be missed, Gu Xizhou must die today!

After all, if we wait until he returns to the capital, the chances will be even slimmer.

A faint smile appeared on Gu Xizhou's frail and pale face. Just when everyone thought he might have accepted his fate, the killers suddenly stopped moving.

"It's quite useful."

Pei Zhiyi walked out from behind the big tree and slowly stood beside Gu Xizhou.

Very handsome man!

This was Pei Zhiyi's first impression of Gu Xizhou.

A sickly person who won’t live long, this is the second impression.

"So many people surrounding a sickly person, it's quite impressive."

"who are you?"

The assassin boss seemed to see the bounty of 100,000 high-grade spirit stones slipping away from him, but his movements were restricted. He could only look angrily at the man and woman before him. Then, a sudden inspiration struck him: "Gu Xizhou! You did this on purpose! You deliberately let us strike first, but actually arranged for this woman to protect you in secret, so you could strike back the moment we strike."

Gu Xizhou: “?”

Pei Zhiyi raised his eyebrows. These killers had good imagination.

The two men in front of him didn't say anything, and the killer boss felt more and more that his guess was correct.

"As expected of you, His Majesty's trusted Imperial Master. We really did underestimate you."

National Division?

This beautiful sickly girl is actually a national teacher?

Pei Zhiyi tilted his head and looked carefully at the person next to him. It seemed that he knew too much about his destiny, which was why he had such a body.

"Kill me if you want!"

I was caught before completing the mission. It's a dead end anyway, so I might as well die quickly.

"Do you want them dead?"

Pei Zhiyi spoke, seemingly asking for Gu Xizhou's opinion.

Gu Xizhou coughed heavily a few times, his face turned even paler, and he looked at Pei Zhiyi with a pitiful look in his eyes. "You saved my life, so it's your turn to decide whether to save their lives."

Well, the question was thrown to her again.

However, she always did what she wanted.

"Letting the tiger go back to the mountains is undoubtedly a foolish choice." Pei Zhiyi stroked the sword in his hand, and the next second, powerful sword energy overflowed.

"I still killed him."

Pei Zhiyi's speed was so fast that it was impossible to see clearly. All he could feel was a sharp sword intent. Then all the killers had their necks cut in an instant. Finally, they all fell straight down with their eyes wide open in disbelief.

A dark light flashed in Gu Xizhou's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and he returned to his sickly and innocent look.

"Thank you for what happened today."

benefactor?

Pei Zhiyi didn't care what he called her, but since she was his benefactor, why didn't she feel a trace of faith from him?

This can't be said directly.

Tsk!

Pei Zhiyi was in a dilemma for the first time. After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked, "I saved you from them today, so I must have gotten into trouble. As the saying goes, a life-saving favor should be repaid with a spring of gratitude. How do you plan to repay them?"

repay?

Gu Xizhou was stunned for a second, then he chuckled softly, "How do you want me to repay you, my benefactor?"

The secret guards in the dark were almost going crazy. It was one thing that they didn't follow the action plan today, but suddenly such a benefactor appeared, and the master really planned to repay the favor. What was going on?

Hmm…that’s a good question.

Pei Zhiyi thought for a moment and said, "I saved you, so you should express your sincere gratitude. Then I will express my gratitude in a way that reflects your sincere gratitude."

Pei Zhiyi deliberately emphasized the sincere gratitude twice, just to let Gu Xizhou know that verbal thanks are useless and must be sincere, so that she can gain his faith.

"This..." This was the first time Gu Xizhou met a woman like Pei Zhiyi. Logically, since her plan was disrupted today, he should have silenced her, but... she was quite powerful, so he should observe the situation first before making any plans.

"I can't think of anything right now. How about this, benefactor, please come with me to the capital. I will thank you sincerely then."
