Huo Mian sat up. Even after taking the repair pill, his body was still weak.
"What happened just now?"
Qi Mingchen took the last bite of meat and said, "We encountered an ambush from the Meteor Sect, and Li Dao is a traitor."
"Ambush? Traitor? How could something like this happen?" Huo Mian said in disbelief, "How could something like this happen for no reason?"
Qi Mingchen didn't answer and waited quietly for the remaining people to wake up.
He was too lazy to explain one by one. It would be more convenient to answer them together after everyone woke up.
Soon, under the influence of the healing elixir, everyone woke up one after another. Only the elder was still in a coma. Maybe the medicine was still taking effect, or maybe the injury was too serious. It seemed that he would be gone for a while. Can't wake up.
"Junior Brother Qi, except for the elders, everyone else has woken up. Can you tell me what is going on?"
Mo Xixi's tone was rare and gentle, completely opposite to her usual cold and arrogant temperament. After all, she knew that a large part of the reason for her rescue was related to Qi Mingchen.
Qi Mingchen took the last sip of wine and said: "Actually, I don't know much. I only speculated that Li Dao is a member of the Meteor Sect at first, and I also heard that everyone with a quota will die. I speculated During this operation, we might encounter an ambush, so I kept observing him later and roughly guessed that they would act here."
"Then why didn't you tell us in advance?" Ro Mu asked. In fact, what he wanted to ask more was, why didn't you tell him in advance? After all, he had said so much about the Meteor Sect before, so he should have gained some trust.
"I'm worried about causing unnecessary problems." Qi Mingchen didn't explain much.
At this time, Li Ming spoke, "Who saved us? There are more than ten corpses around, and the people fighting us are also strong men in the acquired stage. It is impossible for us to solve it with just a few people, let alone the young ones." The elders were attacked by surprise from the beginning, and our strength is definitely at the end of our tether."
Li Ming's eyes were extremely complicated, filled with confusion and confusion. For him, in Qi Mingchen's eyes, he should be the one who least deserves to be rescued. This is true no matter what angle it is from, even if he is treated as a harmonious person. Li Dao's accomplices are also understandable.
As a result, he was rescued and was given pills by Qi Mingchen.
This thing is really beyond comprehension.
"When I started, I paid a strong person to protect me secretly. After the matter was resolved, the person left."
Now almost all the problems were explained, and everyone knew that they all owed Qi Mingchen their lives.
Mo Xixi walked over and said in a serious tone: "This matter is very serious. We must inform the leader as soon as possible. The Meteor Sect's actions are so arrogant. They are obviously preparing to break up..."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Qi Mingchen, her dark brown eyes filled with gratitude, "If it hadn't been for you, Junior Brother Qi, to sense the danger in advance and respond in advance, we would all have died here."
"Yes, Junior Brother Qi, I really didn't expect you to think of this step in advance. It's really amazing!" Huo Mian didn't care about whether seniority or inferiority could steal the conversation. He no longer kept a low profile and got in front of him. There was a light in his eyes, as if he were seeing someone he admired greatly.
Nanrujia, who usually behaved kindly, stood at the farthest place and remained silent. He lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.
"This is the most precious item I have." Mo Xixi handed him a long brocade box, "Although it is not as good as your life-saving grace, it can barely make up for your loss."
Qi Mingchen took it and opened it, pointing to a golden necklace, which looked very exquisite.
"This is a magic weapon that can help you speed up your practice during practice. It is an auxiliary type of magic weapon. Although it has not been graded, it is also a rare type. Master gave it to me before leaving. Yes, I haven’t had a chance to use it yet, so I’m giving it to you now.”
He had heard that the master dotes on this only female disciple, but he did not expect to give away such a precious discovery. If converted into spiritual stones, it should be able to sell tens of thousands of middle-grade spiritual stones at the auction.
"No need." He returned the magic weapon. "I can't protect such a magic weapon now. I don't want to go through the experience of having my quota stolen again."
When Mo Xixi heard this, her eyes were stern, "I, Mo Xixi, promise that such a thing will never happen in the Canglong Sect. No one in the sect will dare to do those dirty things to you again!"
"Sorry, I still can't accept it."
Qi Mingchen doesn't want to have a deeper relationship with anyone, which often means trouble.
He knows himself, and he is a person who trusts others easily. Once he allows others to get close, the same betrayal as before will not happen.
Maybe it is sincere at the moment, but who can guarantee that it will always be sincere in the future?
This was also the reason why Qi Mingchen didn't use his own pills when feeding them.
Seeing that he insisted on not accepting it, Mo Xixi could only sigh: "I have never seen a person with your personality, and I can't even repay him in return."
"I don't need repayment, I only have one request." Qi Mingchen said calmly.
"any request?"
"I hope everyone will keep this matter secret from others after arriving at Jiange Force."
Mo Xixi asked in confusion: "Why? Is there anything about this matter that needs to be kept secret?"
Qi Mingchen said: "At present, the Meteor Sect has no scruples in doing things. I am worried that if it is exposed to Jiange, it will scare the snake and they will do even more irrational things."
"…But why would the Meteor Sect do this?"
Seeing that he had finally reached a topic that he was good at, Luo Mu quickly walked to the middle and vividly talked about the hidden conflicts between the two sects, which made the others stunned.
"Why does the sect keep hiding this kind of thing? Why does the Meteor Sect want to kill us all?"
Nan Ruijia spoke with a very indifferent expression, "Okay, there is no point in discussing these now. Everyone except Li Dao is fine at the moment. We will continue on our way when the elder wakes up."
Only then did everyone end the discussion.
By the fire, no one continued to rest. After experiencing their lives hanging by a thread, no one was in the mood to sleep.
Cooking by the fire, waiting in silence for the day to come.
Although Mo Xixi and the others had woken up, their injuries were still recovering, and they still looked miserable from the outside.
No one was cleaning up the corpses around, and the smell of blood made everyone even more silent.
"Will there really be a battle with the Meteor Sect?" Mo Xixi asked seriously, "What will happen when we are away from the sect for a month..."
No one answered, and the place fell into silence again, leaving only the sound of candlelight beating.
"Cough cough cough..." After a while, a violent coughing sound was heard not far away. Everyone turned around and found that the elder woke up clutching his chest and coughing hard.
After the elder started, he looked around, scratched his head, and said, "Let's set off when it gets light."
This sentence made everyone silent.
"Sir, do you still remember what happened just now?"
The elder coughed and said slowly: "It's not a big deal, just don't delay your schedule tomorrow."
Mo Xixi wanted to say something else, but she was stopped by Ro Mu on the side, and whispered: "The elder doesn't seem to want to care about this matter, so let's not ask any more questions."
Qi Mingchen on the side looked at the elder's appearance and felt a little confused. This reaction was obviously abnormal.
At the same time, given the elder's age, he must have experienced conflicts between the two sects, which is completely different from the Luo Mu who has only heard of it.
Obviously, the elder is not completely ignorant, and such an attitude is very problematic.
When it was daytime, everyone continued to set off and found that the horses were all dead.
"Fortunately, there isn't much left, but if Li Dao dies, how will I explain it to the people in Jiange afterwards?"
Romu said distressedly.
"No need to explain. If you look at our current situation, just say we were attacked. No one would believe it."
"If I meet people from the Meteor Sect then, I probably won't be able to help but go up and beat them." Luo Mu clenched his fists, "I and the people from the Meteor Sect are sworn in!"
As long as they thought about almost dying under the conspiracy of the Meteor Sect, they were frightened. If Qi Mingchen hadn't predicted and prepared in advance, they really don't know what would have happened.
"Young man, it's better to hold back your temper." The old man who was sitting cross-legged and looking inscrutable suddenly said, "If you want to live, stay in Jiange with all your life and don't go back."
After saying that, he stood up and walked forward first, leaving the other disciples looking at each other in confusion.
Qi Mingchen looked at the elder's back and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Elder, what do you mean?" Luo Mu hurriedly caught up and asked. Unfortunately, Elder Lu just walked his own way and said no more words.
The journey, which was originally planned to take half a day, ended up being a full day late. By the time everyone arrived, they were tired and hungry. Not to mention that everyone was still injured, so the hardships on the road were indescribable.
Only Qi Mingchen, who was not injured, was not affected and occasionally helped with hunting and provided some food.
The only uncomfortable part is that I have run out of wine and can only eat meat without drinking wine. It is really uncomfortable.
Everyone left the forest at night and came to Jiange's sphere of influence. As long as they walked into the town, people from Jiange came to receive them.
Everyone felt a lot more relaxed now. Huo Mian couldn't help but said: "I can finally have a good rest. I really can't bear these bloody clothes."
Except for Mo Xixi, no one else had brought a change of clothes, which made them look like refugees who had escaped from somewhere.
As soon as he entered the town, he received strange looks from many people.
This town itself will welcome many qualified members of the third-class forces. Everyone is the proud son of the sect, and they look extraordinary in terms of appearance and temperament.
This outfit of the Canglong Sect is in sharp contrast to other sects.
The reception place was very close to the town's government office, and there were other sects waiting for them. When they arrived, they were laughed at.
It is worth noting that among the sects ridiculed, there are no members of the Meteor Sect.
The Meteor Sect's expression was more of shock and confusion.
