The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
When Ling Xiao arrived at the agreed place in Moqu Mountains, Hu Taoer and a young man were already waiting here.
"He is Hu Qi, my distant cousin." Hu Taoer introduced with a smile.
"Hello, Brother Ling, your cultivation level is so high!"
Hu Qi cupped his hands towards Ling Xiao and looked at Ling Xiao up and down with a slightly scrutinizing and curious look.
He is about in his early twenties, has a handsome appearance, and has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. He is obviously very talented.
"Hello."
Ling Xiao smiled and returned the greeting, then looked at Hu Taoer strangely, "Didn't you say there were a lot of people today?"
Hu Tao'er smiled slightly and said, "What's the rush? The main force hasn't arrived yet!"
Ling Xiao was speechless.
There is someone who is slower than me.
Waiting for someone is so painful!
He was thinking in his mind, completely forgetting that the elite team was waiting for him.
It was now the second night after he and Hu Taoer reunited.
After a night of ups and downs yesterday, both of them felt tired and not in a suitable state to explore, so they agreed to come back tonight.
Ling Xiao should return to Qingfeng Temple to practice talismans, and Hu Taoer should also contact people.
Originally, it would have been safer if Hu Taoer could wait a few more days for the elite team to regroup and explore the treasure map together.
But after Ling Xiao hesitated, he gave up the idea.
The elite team has developed a very mature fighting tacit understanding. If he rashly brings new people in, the other team members will not say anything, but they will definitely have grudges in their hearts.
After all, with such a powerful team, who wouldn’t want their own family to come in and get a share of the pie?
No one has recruited new teammates, which shows that maintaining a fixed combination of six people seems to be an agreement that does not require an agreement.
As a member of the elite team, Ling Xiao must of course abide by this agreement.
Even if you want to recruit people to join the team, you must first seek the opinions of others.
Another reason is that Ling Xiao subconsciously believes that Ling Xiao and Xuan Tu should be two independent identities that do not interfere with each other and have no intersection.
He didn't want others to know that Ling Xiao was Xuan Tu.
Whoever this person is.
"Brother Ling, what magic weapon do you use?" Next to him, Hu Qi stepped forward and asked.
He tried hard to pretend to be an experienced demon hunter, but his slightly nervous expression still revealed his inner feelings.
Ling Xiao smiled and took out the jade embroidery knife.
The white and beautiful blade looks more transparent than jade under the moonlight, and the arc of the blade is like a crescent moon, exuding a dreamy feel like a work of art.
"I am a body-building monk."
Ling Xiaoyan said briefly and concisely.
"ah?"
Hu Qi was startled, and then said with great joy: "Awesome, this is my first time to see a body-forging monk!"
Body-forging monks are rare, and to ordinary casual cultivators, they are also mysterious and extraordinary.
But Hu Qi still knows some common sense, that is, the body-forging monks are strong and can withstand the attacks of monsters. They have a unique advantage when hunting monsters in the wild!
With the physical training monk Ling Xiao here, this trip will definitely go smoothly.
Hu Qi's nervousness eased slightly, and he looked at the jade embroidery knife with envy.
There is no doubt that this is a high-level magic weapon and is worth a lot of money.
Just when Hu Qi was admiring the jade embroidery knife, two rays of light suddenly floated from the horizon. After circling for a while, they fell towards the three of them.
"She is coming!"
Hu Tao'er smiled, but when she saw the person in the light clearly, her smile couldn't help but freeze.
The light fell, the light and shadow faded, revealing a man and a woman.
The woman was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, with fair skin and beautiful appearance. She wore a black and gold tight skirt, which outlined her tall figure in a graceful arc. She held Hu Taoer's hand with a smile.
"Good Tao'er, look who I brought here?"
She smiled, her tone ambiguous, and frequently glanced at the man next to her.
The man, who is about forty years old, has a graceful demeanor and walks elegantly. He puts away the folding fan in his hand and salutes with a smile, "Miss Hu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Congratulations on your smooth release!"
His aura was powerful, he was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and his aura was even stronger than that of Hu Taoer at the same level. He must have been in this realm for a long time.
Hu Tao'er bit her teeth lightly, gathered her crotch and returned the greeting: "I have met Mr. Xiao."
Mr. Xiao chuckled, reached into his arms, took out a small exquisite box and handed it over, "Miss Hu, this is Xiao's little thought, as a gift for your successful exit from seclusion!"
Before Hu Tao'er could react, the woman exclaimed, "Okay, Mr. Xiao, why don't you take a breath before preparing a gift? I didn't prepare anything!"
Mr. Xiao smiled casually, "It's just some pills, not a big gift. When you make a breakthrough, Miss Zhao, Mr. Xiao will give it to you too!"
Miss Zhao sighed quietly, "How long do I have to wait for my breakthrough? Maybe I will never have the chance to accept your gift in this life. How can I be as lucky as Tao'er?"
These two guys sang and harmonized each other, and their performance was very impressive!
Ling Xiao frowned and looked at Hu Qi, trying to find an answer.
Hu Qi hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Xiao, don't be deceived by his sanctimonious appearance. He is a complete heartless man with countless wives and concubines. He pursued my sister several times, but was rejected by her. Unexpectedly, until now Still pestering me!"
Ling Xiao suddenly realized.
No wonder Hu Taoer's face didn't look so good when she saw this person.
Over there, Hu Tao'er glared at Miss Zhao, took a step back without leaving any trace, and said: "Master Xiao's kindness, I accept it heart and soul. As the saying goes, there is no reward without merit, so I can't accept this gift."
Without waiting for Xiao Shengsheng's answer, she glared at Miss Zhao again, "Didn't you say you wanted to spare the madman? Why are you still bothering Mr. Xiao?"
Miss Zhao waved her hands repeatedly, "Don't mention it, don't mention it! During the time you were in seclusion, Madman Rao joined a long-term demon hunting team, and now he is so happy that he doesn't want to miss Shu! Want to find him? I can't even see his ghost!"
Hu Tao'er suddenly realized, "No wonder you haven't contacted me since I told you to come out of seclusion. Without that lunatic, it will be much more difficult to hunt monsters in the future."
"Hey! Leave him alone! Mr. Xiao is kind, please don't hurt others' feelings!" Miss Zhao snatched the box and stuffed it into Hu Tao'er's hand, then looked at Ling Xiao, "You brought this friend?"
Hu Taoer's face was gloomy, she pushed her hand away, took a deep breath and nodded.
"His name is Ling Xiao."
Then, under the astonished gazes of the woman and Mr. Xiao, Hu Taoer stepped forward generously and held Ling Xiao's hand.
"Ling Xiao, they are my friends, Zhao Bingyan, Xiao Pingsheng, and Mr. Xiao."
Ling Xiao smiled slightly, "Hello!"
Inside the venue, the atmosphere was tense.
Both Zhao Bingyan and Xiao Pingsheng looked ugly.
"Tao'er, don't tell me that you and him..." Zhao Bingyan asked with a forced smile, which was awkward.
Xiao Pingsheng stared at the hands held tightly by the two of them, as if there were needles stinging his eyes.
Hu Tao'er didn't answer, she leaned against Ling Xiao and just looked at Ling Xiao with sweet eyes.
Under the charming moonlight, she was half charming and half shy, like a newly married bride.
Seeing Hu Taoer's appearance, Zhao Bingyan couldn't help but turn green and white.
She was kind-hearted and came here to play the flute, just for the purpose of making a match, but who would have thought that Hu Taoer would actually find a new love!
It was Xiao Shengsheng who was the first to regain his composure, gently shook his folding fan, and said with a smile: "Miss Hu has found such a happy husband, Xiao is really happy for you! Mr. Ling, right? I'm Xiao Shengsheng, and there will be dangers in the mountains. I will rely on you more!" "
He said it generously, but Ling Xiao clearly saw the flash of jealousy in his eyes.
The corners of Ling Xiao's lips curled up, "It's easy to say, as long as everyone works together."
