Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

"Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Sister Li, this can't go on, we won't be able to get away from here."

As they were talking, Lu Yunshi took a few steps forward, just inside the Water Blastoise's attack range, forcing Zhang Quan to risk taking Lu Yunshi with him to dodge.

Then, Zhang Quan forcefully blocked the Water Frog's powerful stomp, and asked at the same time, "Not a solution? Then tell me, what solution is there?"

"Junior Brother Lu, just say what you're thinking, don't keep me in suspense."

Senior Sister Li's voice followed, and Lu Yunshi hesitated for a moment before speaking.

“I don’t know if this is a solution, but the most important thing right now is to calm Tie Yanxi down. If I remember correctly, according to Senior Sister Li’s map, there is a deep pool about 700 meters north of here. If we can lure Tie Yanxi there and use the water to cool him down, he might not be willing to fight to the death.”

"As for the Water Blastoise... well, that'll have to trouble Senior Brother Zhang. I don't know why, but I've noticed that this Water Blastoise seems to have taken a liking to Senior Brother Zhang from the very beginning, its eyes always fixed on him. If Senior Brother Zhang is willing, perhaps he can take the Water Blastoise away from here. Then Senior Sister Lu and I can take the Purple Cloud Vine from here, and then we can find Senior Sister Li to work together to kill the Iron Flame Rhinoceros."

Upon hearing Lu Yunshi's method, Zhang Quan was stunned for a moment and almost got knocked away by the Water Frog's tongue. Fortunately, Lu Yunxi appeared in time, which saved him from serious injury.

"But the water frog hasn't been paying much attention to me since earlier!" Zhang Quan was unwilling to accept Lu Yunshi's idea, as it was too risky for him. But if he directly said he was unwilling, wouldn't that make him seem scared?

I decided to find a reason to refuse, and besides, what he said was true. Blastoise hadn't been as enthusiastically focused on me since earlier.

However, as soon as Zhang Quan finished speaking, he saw the water slug fly directly past Lu Yunxi and leap towards him, covered in mud.

"Um... I think it still cares about you quite a bit. Senior Brother Zhang, there's no need to belittle yourself. Senior Sister Lu and I will be grateful to you. And Senior Brother Zhang, there's no need to worry too much. Once Senior Sister Li and Senior Sister Lu have dealt with the Iron Flame Rhinoceros, they will definitely come to rescue you." Seeing this, Lu Yunshi added a timely remark.

Zhang Quan's lips twitched. He was unwilling at all, but Lu Yunshi had already said so much. If he didn't do something, wouldn't he lose face?

At this moment, Senior Sister Li flicked the Iron Flame Rhinoceros away with her hammer and said decisively, "I'll lure it away, you guys come quickly."

Seeing that Senior Sister Li was so decisive, Zhang Quan found it even harder to refuse. He gritted his teeth and ran off in the opposite direction with Blastoise.

"Junior sisters, you'd better hurry up and come."

"Don't worry, senior brother, we definitely will." Lu Yunshi waved to Zhang Quan's back, his eyes full of mockery.

The way he's being chased makes him look like a dog.

"What did you do to the water slug frog to make it focus on its whole body?" Lu Yunxi suddenly asked, her tone firm despite sounding like a question.

"It's nothing, I just added something to my senior brother to make the water frog go into heat," Lu Yunshi shrugged and said casually.

"Why do you do this?" Lu Yunxi asked.

"Why?" Lu Yunshi slowly walked towards the Purple Cloud Vine and said. "Perhaps it's because Senior Brother Zhang Quan didn't give me a good first impression, which makes me always want to tease him. But of course, I have an even more important reason for doing this."

"I absolutely must lure Senior Brother Zhang Quan and Senior Sister Li away, otherwise..."

Lu Yunshi chuckled and forcefully pulled the Purple Cloud Vine from the ground. He stared at the vine's radish-like root and placed it in front of Lu Yunxi.

"Otherwise, it would be very unlikely that we would have gotten this."

"What is that?" Lu Yunxi frowned slightly, as she sensed an even more concentrated spiritual energy on the roots of the Purple Cloud Vine than the vine itself.

Lu Yunshi sighed and shook his head upon hearing this. "That's why the academic courses at the academy are so necessary. Miss has been in the academy for so long, you probably haven't been paying attention in class, and you haven't even been studying properly after class. That won't do. As the eldest daughter of the Lu family, you'll be seen as illiterate when you go out like this."

"Lu Yunshi!" Lu Yunxi roared and threw a punch. When no one was around, she could always unleash her suppressed temper in front of Lu Yunshi at will, let alone now that Lu Yunshi had given her a reason to be angry.

Seeing the fist next to his ear, Lu Yunshi quickly stopped his mischievous behavior.

"Ahem, the roots of the Purple Cloud Vine, after being matured by the Water Arrow Frog, will become another kind of spiritual medicine called Purple Cloud Root. Its medicinal effect is four times that of the Purple Cloud Vine, and its medicinal properties are mild. These two characteristics combined make it an excellent choice for many people who want to break through to the Mountain Moving Realm. Speaking of which, the Water Arrow Frog raises this thing in order to use it to help itself break through."

"You want me to keep it all to myself?" Lu Yunxi asked, squinting.

“Miss, you don’t need to think this is despicable. We can repay you when we have the opportunity. But right now, what you need is to break through and become stronger. This is a rare opportunity.”

Thinking that Lu Yunxi had taken pity on him, Lu Yunshi quickly tried to persuade her.

"Or, Miss could give the Purple Cloud Vine to Senior Sister Li and the others. After all, their original target was just an ordinary Purple Cloud Vine. It's already quite generous of them to let the two of them share this 'enhanced' Purple Cloud Vine."

"You're really something, arranging everything so easily." Lu Yunxi sneered. "Such an important matter, and as your master, you never told me about it. Did you think I would ruin your plans? You must be having a good time playing with me like a puppet, just like how you watched Zhang Quan being manipulated without knowing it, secretly laughing to yourself, right?"

"Of course not..."

Before Lu Yunshi could finish speaking, Lu Yunxi raised her hand to interrupt him. "No need to say anything more. A worthless dog like you who doesn't know what's good for you should go back and prepare to receive your punishment."

Lu Yunshi opened his mouth, but in the end he remained silent. His intuition told him that if he said a few more words, Lu Yunxi would lose her temper and punch him on the spot.

Sigh~ I feel like I'm facing a rebellious girl who's more powerful and has a higher status than me every day, it's a bit tiring. Maybe I should take a few days of sick leave.

"Let's go then, otherwise Senior Sister Li will probably be left to fend for herself." After carefully separating and storing the Purple Cloud Vine and Purple Cloud Root, Lu Yunshi said.
