"I'm really sorry." Ji Beichen kept saying apologies and weakly scratched his clothes that were stained by mud and water.
He didn't expect this body to be so useless. If he had known it would happen, he would not have followed, dragging them down in vain. But she happened to see him in such an embarrassing state, and he felt nothing but shame.
"Ah Chen, I don't allow you to say that!" Yan Yueli stepped forward and helped him up. Seeing him covered in mud, she felt heartbroken, and the tears she had been holding back for a long time burst out instantly.
"Okay, I didn't say it. It's all my fault." After Ji Beichen said this, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Yan Yueli's cheek, but he immediately stopped because he suddenly remembered that his hands were full of mud and were not worthy of being touched. Her pink little face.
"Ah Chen..." Yan Yueli whispered in a low voice. The handsome man with a depressed expression in front of her was hit hard again and Ji Beichen's heart was broken. In front of her, her Ah Chen was as humble as the one she raised as a child. A spiritual dog, he tried his best to please her cautiously, fearing that if the owner didn't like him, he would abandon him in disgust.
Just when the two of them didn't know what to do, a green shirt was thrown from a distance. Ji Beichen raised his hand and caught it steadily. Wang Yuanting's voice came at the right time: "Put it on, it's important to hurry up!"
Ji Beichen nodded in thanks, Yan Yueli wiped the tears from her face with her backhand, Shen Qingxi came over and fed him a few Qi-boosting pills, and the four of them moved forward again.
Due to the previous accident, Wang Yuanting led the way this time, followed closely by Shen Qingxi. Yan Yueli and Ji Beichen walked side by side. They gradually moved towards the Lingzhu Cave. The four of them unknowingly entered a dense forest. The path is getting narrower and narrower, and only one person can pass through it. If you go deeper into it, there is no way to go. You can only go forward by feeling through the thorns and obstacles.
Wang Yuanting became more and more uneasy as he moved forward. He couldn't help but sigh: "This place is not simple. I have already sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy in several places. It seems that catching the spirit spider will take a lot of effort."
Shen Qingxi nodded in agreement, and the two of them were almost close to each other, whispering for a long time. Finally, they finally reached a consensus and ended their whispering, but Wang Yuanting's face was full of reluctance.
Yan Yueli only cared about the location of the Spirit Spider Cave and didn't care, but Ji Beichen felt that something was not right between the two of them, especially Wang Yuanting. No matter what Shen Qingxi asked him to do, he never let him down.
Just when Ji Beichen was about to tell Yan Yueli about this matter, Wang Yuanting and Shen Qingxi, who were leading the team, stopped one after another.
"The wind can't blow in here and the rain can't get through. It's so stuffy!" Shen Qingxi stopped for a moment, grabbed the water bag around her waist and took a few sips, then handed the water bag to Ji Beichen behind her. Wang Yuanting quickly grabbed the water with his quick eyes and hands. He grabbed the bag in his hand and gave Ji Beichen a warning look.
"Thank you Miss Shen for your concern. My water bag is still very full." Ji Beichen smiled slightly. Fortunately, he did not reach out to pick up the water bag, otherwise Wang Yuanting would have done something with him again. He is so big and has never seen him before. Such a "jealous" man.
"Nonsense, it's a hot day and your body is sweating so much that your water bag must be empty at this time." Shen Qingxi didn't believe Ji Beichen's words. After her fifteenth birthday, she sat in the main hall of the ghost doctor's tomb for consultation. As a monk, he never failed to diagnose his pulse.
Ji Beichen knew he couldn't hide it, and was about to apologize when he was interrupted by Yan Yueli beside him: "Elder brother, what time is it now?"
"I guess it's noon." Wang Yuanting looked up at the scorching sun, trying to determine the direction and time. However, the dense branches and leaves blocked the scorching sun, and he could only see the little bits of light shining down through the gaps in the branches and leaves.
Those lights shone on the ground and formed mottled tree shadows. Suddenly a gust of cool wind came, disturbing the tree shadows on the ground and blowing away the heat from the body, making people feel extremely comfortable.
"Well, it's so comfortable!" Shen Qingxi closed her eyes and felt the breeze blowing on her face. She didn't feel the urgency of the other three people at all, which inevitably made Yan Yueli a little angry.
"Junior Sister Shen is so free-spirited. My Ah Chen is still sick!" After Yan Yue said this, she pulled Ji Beichen forward. When she passed by Wang Yuanting, she raised her hand and took away his water bag.
"Palace Master, Junior Sister Qingxi didn't mean that." Wang Yuanting was about to catch up and explain, but when he saw Shen Qingxi stopped in place and showed no intention to follow, he had no choice but to give up, and the four of them separated in two...
On Ji Beichen's side, Yan Yueli stuffed the snatched water bag into his hand and walked in the other direction without looking back.
Ji Beichen knew that she was anxious because of his injury, so even though he was clumsy, he still spoke to comfort her: "Li'er, you and Miss Shen are very close friends, and I really shouldn't have made you unhappy because of me."
"You also know it's because of you. Why didn't you tell me that the water was gone?" Yan Yueli became even more angry when she heard this. She was really anxious, so she neglected some things. Rather than blaming others, she was more angry at her own carelessness.
"Li'er, don't be angry, I'm telling you." Ji Beichen forced a smile and raised his hand to hook Yan Yueli's small pen tip.
He has been really wronged these past few days. He is obviously the palace master of Yan Yue Sect, the spoiled eldest lady. Now she not only has to take him to find medicine, but also has to be distracted to take care of him. With such a good companion, how can I be virtuous and capable? ah……
Yan Yueli was amused by his behavior and couldn't help joking: "Ah Chen is really my good disciple! We are just going to fetch some water. Sister Shen will not leave us behind. Even if they leave first, they will leave a mark. Don't worry, Ah Chen." !”
After she entered the valley, she felt very irritable and uneasy for some unknown reason, so she got angry with Shen Qingxi. But she did not leave in anger, she just wanted to find water.
However, her arrogant temper came back, and she was misunderstood by Ji Beichen. However, it was good to get rid of Shen Qingxi, which made her feel a lot cleaner and gave them more opportunities to be alone.
Ji Beichen pursed his lips and said nothing. The mood of his daughter's family was really unpredictable. They were quarreling just now, but now they are good sisters again.
Yan Yueli knew that she couldn't hide her little thoughts, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Just now I sensed that there seemed to be strong spiritual power fluctuations nearby, and there should be a spiritual spring."
"Spiritual spring..." Ji Beichen couldn't help but sigh. There is a five-color spiritual spring in Qingming Peak of Cangxu Sect. This spring gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the spring water is as sweet as honey.
After drinking this water, the meridians throughout his body will become smooth. At that time, the head master will open the meridians for him, so that the absorbed spiritual energy can be directly converted into cultivation for his own use. The practice will be more effective with half the effort, but it is a pity that he can no longer drink it.
Yan Yueli saw that Ji Beichen suddenly became distressed and knew that he must have remembered something bad, so he wanted to comfort him.
She cleared her throat and said solemnly: "Ah Chen, if Junior Sister Shen cannot heal you this time, are you willing to give up swordsmanship completely and join my Yan Yue Sect?"
"I... never thought..." Ji Beichen subconsciously touched the Cangxu Sword on his back. This time, the spiritual sword did not sense the master's joy or sorrow at all. Needless to say, the flying sword was unsheathed and did not even flash the sword light. Move.
Yan Yueli raised her hand and took Ji Beichen's hand. Ji Beichen did not dodge, but held her hand closer. The two of them tacitly agreed not to say anything more, and headed towards the spiritual spring together. They arrived near the spiritual spring in a short time.
The sound of tinkling spring water and the cheerful chirping of birds sounded from far to near. The closer the two were to the spiritual spring, the more plentiful the spiritual spring became. All kinds of spiritual birds inhabited by the spring, including the precious spiritual bird Chi Cui.
The feathers of this bird are very bright. The male's feathers are red and are called Red Feather Birds. The female's feathers are emerald green and are called Cui Feather Birds. Together they are called Red Cui.
A pair of red and green spiritual birds spread their wings and flew high due to their arrival, followed by colorful spiritual birds. They hovered over the spiritual spring, and the scene was very beautiful.
Such beautiful scenery made people feel happy, and Yan Yueli's anxious mood was relieved. She raised her face slightly and asked apologetically: "Did our sudden visit disturb them?"
Ji Beichen smiled brightly, showing his white teeth. The petite little witch who used to be so arrogant actually became concerned about the safety of the spiritual bird by the spring. It seems that he had a subtle influence on her.
"Why are you laughing?" Yan Yueli looked at Ji Beichen in confusion. She didn't know why he smiled so happily, and he didn't say anything stupid.
Ji Beichen shook his head with a smile, leaned down and gently hugged her shoulders, comforting: "Lingquan is rare, they will not leave easily, we just fill the water bag and leave quickly."
Yan Yueli nodded in agreement, and the two took out their water bags and approached the spiritual spring. The spiritual energy was the strongest near the spring, and the spring water was covered with a thick layer of mist.
The two of them breathed in abundant spiritual energy and felt that the speed of the true energy in their bodies had increased a hundred times. It was a good place for practice. Unfortunately, the terrain of the Trial Valley was complicated and there were more dangers hidden in the dark.
The two fetched water at the spring. The sunshine was abundant at noon and the heat was unbearable. Ji Beichen saw the coolness of the spring water and suggested, "If Li'er wants to cool off, I can..."
"You, what did you say?" Yan Yueli's eyes dodge and she hurriedly interrupted him.
In fact, she was thinking just now, if Ji Beichen was allowed to practice his skills here, wouldn't it be more effective with half the effort. But he didn't expect that her "silly apprentice" actually wanted to take a bath with her, and his cheeks turned pink instantly, feeling extremely shy.
Seeing Yan Yueli's face turn red, Ji Beichen knew that she must have misunderstood what he said, and hurriedly waved his hands and explained: "No, no, no! Li'er, don't get me wrong, the weather is stuffy and I'm afraid of the heat, so I want you to wash your face to cool off, you If you mind, I can avoid it!"
"Okay, okay." Yan Yueli agreed repeatedly, her face even redder with embarrassment. It turned out that it was her own Meng Lang, and it was all her fault that Shen Qingxi always told her the funny things that teased Wang Yuanting on weekdays, causing her to think wildly during the day and causing great embarrassment.
Ji Beichen held back his laughter, walked to a river rock by the spring, turned his back and sat down. After a while, the sound of splashing water came from behind him, which was very touching, testing Ji Beichen's perseverance all the time.
The sound of the water became louder and louder. Ji Beichen felt something was wrong, but he didn't dare to look into the spring water, just in case Yan Yueli was really bathing...
