However, it was said that after Pan Yu bitterly brought Xu Man back, because of the resentment in his heart, he did not take him to a small banquet among registered disciples for several days as before.
However, Xu Man was not worried about this. Instead, he was very happy and went to the forest behind the disciples of Minglei Cave to play alone.
There is no threat of monsters here, and the scenery is pleasant. If a monk is looking for trouble, after he tells Master Xu's name, the other party will most likely retreat. Isn't it better than those disciples who are used to looking at people with their noses? Party fun?
When he thought of this, Xu Man pursed his lips again and kicked the pebbles several feet away in a depressed manner.
It's not that he doesn't know who he relies on. Ever since he can remember, both his mother and himself have lived under the prestige and glory of Master Xu. Because of this, they have been treated with courtesy by many monks, and they have also been reviled by jealous people.
Xu Manzhen was not close to him. It seemed that Xu Man's biological father had made his daughter indulge in love, which blocked her path. Ever since she appeared in front of Xu Man, she had always had a cold face, and behaved like this, After he started to practice and his talent was very mediocre, it became more and more serious.
He gradually couldn't tell whether it was the boredom of the practice that was so unbearable, or whether Master Xu's disappointed look after the practice was more confusing and painful. He gradually couldn't tell. He only knew that he was extremely eager to escape from it, and at the same time he wanted to fight for his mother. Take a breath.
However, what happened after arriving at Minglei Cave shattered his imagination.
The disciples who claimed to be the master's disciples were not like ordinary casual cultivators who would praise Xu Man for no reason. After Pan Yu introduced his identity, he looked at him with strange eyes and saw that Xu Man was nothing. After just building the foundation, he returned his eyes again, not paying any attention to them.
In the midst of the banquet, he was an outsider with no merit, and could only echo Pan Yu's words, like a copycat.
As time went by, Xu Man gradually realized that the people in front of him who didn't care much about him were just one of the many named disciples of Master Fuya.
He even had to flatter these people, so how could he be regarded as highly valued by the Master and make Master Xu treat him with admiration, as his mother said?
Therefore, the longer he stayed in the Ming Lei Cave, the more he wanted to return home. As he walked with a lot of thoughts, he failed to see clearly the yellow-tailed viper that suddenly appeared in front of him. He stepped on it with his feet. Go up.
When someone stepped on the viper, it immediately jumped up from the ground and bit Xu Man back.
It stands to reason that there are disciples patrolling the back mountain all the time, so there will be no monsters. After Xu Man dodged the bite, he saw a black mysterious pattern on the snake's body. It is not difficult to know that this is the same thing as the beast control. The monk's contracted beast can be ordered by others!
And since the contracted beast is here, the master must not be far away.
Xu Man had just joined the Foundation Establishment not long ago and lacked experience in fighting skills. He was able to avoid many yellow-tailed viper attacks because he had the self-defense treasures prepared by Xu Shanglan.
He knew that he was no match for this viper. Looking at the gleaming fangs, he was so frightened that he burst into tears. He crawled on the ground covered with dead leaves and shouted loudly: "Who, who is there? Don't be happy." Take this beast away! I am the grandson of Zhenren Xu. If anyone dares to touch me, the Xu family will never let you go!"
Not far away, the girl holding the spell smiled and showed her fangs. Seeing Xu Man rolling on the ground, she quickly urged the viper to come forward again: "Bite him, Dahuang! Bite him hard!"
In his early twenties, a young man wearing a purple gold crown stood beside her, with a look of hesitation on his face, but in the end he did not say anything to stop the girl.
"What does Master Xu mean? I am a disciple of Zhen Ying. Do the Xu family dare to accuse me of the Hundred Beasts Hill?" She muttered to herself. Although she and Xu Man were both Foundation Establishment monks, there was a lot of disdain in her words.
In the hearts of young girls and young people around them, people like Xu Man, who have inherited the shadow of their ancestors, cannot be compared with their ordinary True Infants. What’s more, no matter how famous Xu Zhenren is, he is just a monk. If he wants to compete with the True Infants When bargaining, the Master also has to weigh his own strength.
With such teasing, Xu Man rolled on the ground and was covered in filth. He could not avoid it. Suddenly, an idea occurred to him. He anxiously took out a palm-sized formation plate from his arms and held it in front of him.
I saw a flash of earthy yellow light from the formation disk, and a stone shield formed around it. The yellow-tailed viper bumped against the shield, and was immediately dizzy and half-dead, swaying.
The girl tried to control the snake and bite it, but she felt that the stone shield was indestructible and could not be broken. She couldn't help but said angrily: "Brother, please help me break his shield. I have to ask Dahuang to bite him today!"
The young man then raised his forehead and said, "Don't be ridiculous. He was bitten by a wind-wrapped snake when he was in the early stage of foundation building. He was either dead or injured. We are just visiting the Thunder Cave with our master. If we cause trouble here, I’m just afraid that I will displease my master.”
After all, the girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old. When she heard this, she stamped her feet in anxiety and let out a sharp scream, causing the yellow-tailed viper's body to grow rapidly, and it was about to wrap around Xu Man directly.
But I saw a strong wind blowing, and bright silver light came through the sky.
Before the yellow-tailed viper could move, the sword energy stirred up its flesh and blood!
When the wild flight stopped, there was no snake on the ground, only meat residue and blood spots were left, and a snake eye rolled down.
The bonded beast was smashed into pieces, and the girl was so frightened that she turned pale. Fortunately, it was an ordinary bonded beast. It was not as serious as the backlash of the bonded beast on its master. The young man quickly helped his junior sister, seeing that she was just frightened. , and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the next moment his expression changed drastically.
In the place where the viper's blood was splattered, there stood a tall woman with slightly plump cheekbones and an ordinary face. She was about twenty-four or five years old. Her whole body was sharp and sharp, like an ancient sword.
"It's Brother Fenxuan! Let's go!" Knowing he was outmatched, he quickly dragged the girl and fled along the path behind him.
At this time, the girl was a little stunned. She looked at the sword nun and was frightened by the stern look in her eyes. She was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat.
Fortunately, the other party didn't care about the two of them and didn't chase them.
It wasn't until he was completely out of the back mountain that the young man took a breath as if he had escaped from death, feeling deeply scared.
As for Xu Man, who was saved by him, he cried bitterly and stood up staggeringly. He didn't care about the dirt on his hands and wiped them on his face: "Thank you, senior, thank you, senior!"
He was still trembling all over, and after seeing the person in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but shrink his head timidly.
Although this woman was very talented, her aura was infinitely stronger than that of his mother and Chu Zhenqun, which made him think of Xu Zhenren with a cold face for no reason.
Without even thinking about it, Xu Man knew that the woman in front of him must be very strong!
"Where did your formation plate come from?" The other party put two fingers together and dropped them on his head. He felt a stream of refreshing air swirling up from his feet, and all the dirt on his body was instantly removed.
