"Sister Yan, look, I found the spiritual grass again, here it is for you!"
Gu Qingchen's fleshy little hands held a few spiritual herbs that had just been pulled out of the soil and handed them to Yan Mengqi.
Several hours have passed since the two of them entered the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.
Thanks to Yan Mengqi's carefulness along the way, avoiding places with monsters as much as possible, after a few hours, the two of them had hardly encountered any monsters.
Yan Mengqi had made a plan for herself before entering the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.
If you encounter a monster, avoid it if you can, and don't get into any arguments with any monks.
After all, her strength is only at the first level of True Spirit. This level is almost at the lowest level in the Xuanhuang Secret Territory.
The competition for treasures, the inheritance of relics, etc. were not something that she, a small first-level true spirit, could participate in. Her goal was only the medicinal herbs and spiritual fruits scattered throughout the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.
She doesn't mind the low-level ones either. If she is lucky and encounters a few high-level medicinal herbs and spiritual fruits, she will have hope of being promoted to the inner sect.
"Xiaochen, these herbs you picked are your own, you don't need to give them to me..."
Gu Qingchen's spiritual consciousness was powerful, and the spiritual herbs he found along the way were several times that of Yan Mengqi. However, Gu Qingchen was not interested in these low-level spiritual herbs. Except for eating a few spiritual fruits, the rest were given to Yan Mengqi. .
Along the way, Yan Mengqi took great care of Gu Qingchen, just like her own brother, which greatly increased Gu Qingchen's affection for her.
"I don't want it, just give it to my sister."
Gu Qingchen shook his head. These spiritual herbs were too low-level for him to despise. The spiritual fruits that Gu Changqing gave him on weekdays were all third- and fourth-level spiritual herbs. Gu Qingchen really didn't like these first- and second-level spiritual herbs.
"Okay, then I'll keep it for you first, and then I'll give it to you when we get out." Yan Mengqi took it away first, then knelt down, touched Gu Qingchen's head, and said, "Also, Xiaochen, your voice...can't be that loud, do you understand?"
"Sister's strength is low. If she attracts monsters and some bad monks, we will be in trouble."
"Okay, I get it now."
Gu Qingchen wanted to say that he was not afraid, but when he saw Yan Mengqi's soft eyes, he lowered his head again, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Okay, let's go."
Rubbing Gu Qingchen's head, she was not blaming Gu Qingchen, but this was the survival rule of the weak.
"Sister Yan, someone is coming."
Gu Qingchen, who was about to leave with Yan Mengqi, suddenly stopped and looked to the right.
There, more than ten breaths were approaching quickly.
Yan Mengqi frowned slightly. She also noticed it and quickly pulled Gu Qingchen and hid behind a huge rock to hide her breath.
"Huh? Senior Brother Lan? Senior Brother Liu?"
Yan Mengqi, who was hiding behind the boulder, was suddenly startled when she saw the person coming. She was nervous and relaxed instantly.
Yan Mengqi knew the few people who suddenly appeared. They were all disciples of the Moon Palace, and two of them, Senior Brother Lan and Senior Brother Liu, were true disciples of the Moon Palace, and they were both at the seventh level of true spirit or above.
Seeing that the person coming was from the same sect, Yan Mengqi did not hide her figure anymore and walked out from behind the boulder with Gu Qingchen.
"Senior Brother Lan, Senior Brother Liu!"
Several people also saw Yan Mengqi, but they didn't recognize him.
Yan Mengqi is only an outer disciple of Lan Yue Palace, but there are so many outer disciples of Lan Yue Palace? As true disciples of the inner sect, it was normal for them not to know each other.
But looking at the word "moon" embroidered on Yan Mengqi's chest, and knowing that this woman was from the same sect, her vigilance instantly dropped.
"It turns out that she is a junior sister from the outer sect. Since we have met, let's go together." Senior Brother Lan, who was dressed in brocade clothes, smiled slightly.
Then he suddenly noticed something and looked at Gu Qingchen beside Yan Mengqi, stunned.
"who is he?"
"I picked up this little brother in the secret realm..." Yan Mengqi quickly told Senior Brother Lan and others about the process of how she and Gu Qingchen met and traveled together.
Hearing this, Senior Brother Lan didn't say anything, but Senior Brother Liu next to him spoke.
"A little brat is a burden to carry around. You are not related to him, so throw it away. You can follow us, but he can't." Senior Brother Liu glanced at Gu Qingchen, then looked at Yan Mengqi, slightly reproachful : "You have such a big heart. This is the Xuanhuang Secret Realm. It is full of dangers, not the outside world. Carrying such a little thing with you will most likely kill you. Do you understand?"
"ah……"
Yan Mengqi was a little overwhelmed by being scolded suddenly.
"Yes, junior sister, leave him quickly and follow us."
"Senior Brother Liu is right, your kindness is in the wrong place."
Many Lan Yue Palace disciples agreed.
Senior Brother Liu's words are a bit unpleasant, but they are also true. This is not the outside world. With a child who is not even a little older, what else can he do besides dragging himself down?
Yan Mengqi also understood this, but if she was asked to just leave Gu Qingchen, she... couldn't do it.
Gu Qingchen seemed to realize something, and held Yan Mengqi tightly with his little hands, fearing that the other party would also abandon him.
With his sister gone, Yan Mengqi is now his only support.
This move made Deyan Mengqi feel even weaker.
"Senior Brother Liu, I know everything you said, but... I can't do it. I have a lot of spiritual herbs I picked here, and I will give them to you. As long as... I just ask Senior Brother Liu to let me take Xiaochen with me."
"That's all, take it with you." Senior Brother Lan waved his hand but did not take the spiritual grass in Yan Mengqi's hand.
Senior Brother Lan is also a kind-hearted person and is deeply loved by his junior brothers and sisters in the sect.
Facing Yan Mengqi's pleading, he softened a little.
Senior Brother Liu frowned, snorted coldly, turned around and left directly: "You can take it with you, but then forgive me for not being with you. I have no intention of playing like a good guy with you."
"Senior Brother Liu!"
Several other disciples shouted.
"If you want to follow me, follow me. If you don't want to, just stay here and accompany your kind-hearted Senior Brother Lan."
"this……"
More than a dozen disciples of Lan Yue Palace looked at Senior Brother Liu who was leaving, and then at Senior Brother Lan, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Senior Brother Lan, I'm sorry..."
A disciple followed directly.
"Senior Brother Lan, I..."
Including Senior Brother Lan and Senior Brother Liu, there were twelve people in total, seven of them followed Senior Brother Liu, and only three chose to stay...
The disciples who followed Senior Brother Liu, apart from the fact that they agreed with Senior Brother Liu's words, the more important point was... Senior Brother Liu was stronger than Senior Brother Lan!
Although Senior Brother Lan has a good reputation in Lan Yue Palace, he is only at the seventh level of True Spirit, while Senior Brother Liu... is at the eighth level of True Spirit!
In this dangerous secret realm of Xuanhuang, it is natural to follow the more powerful Senior Brother Liu, which will provide more protection.
"You won't follow?"
Senior Brother Lan laughed to himself and glanced at the three people who stayed.
These three people are not very strong. They are about the first or second level of true spirit. Two of them are from the outer sect and one is from the inner sect.
The three of them also had a wry smile on their faces.
"We want to follow, but Senior Brother Liu may not want to. Although Senior Brother Liu didn't say it explicitly during this journey, his words and deeds showed that he disliked the three of us. It was nothing more than... he thought the three of us were too powerful and were holding us back... "
"Senior Brother Liu, I'm afraid he has wanted to get rid of us a long time ago. This incident just gave him an excuse to get rid of us."
Senior Brother Lan nodded, these three disciples were not stupid.
"Come with me. My strength is not as good as that of Liu Yang, but I, Lan Wang, will not abandon any of my junior brothers and sisters who follow me." Senior Brother Lan smiled slightly and said to Yan Mengqi:
"Junior sister, please follow me and take the little guy beside you."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Lan!"
Yan Mengqi's voice was excited.
In this way, the original two-person team became the current six-person team.
