This girl, at first glance, seems to be inexperienced and extremely simple.
The two young men beside her need to be much more vigilant.
The tall and strong young man among them frowned, looked at Xiao Zhan with cold eyes, and asked:
"This place is deserted and there are many ferocious beasts. How come you, an ordinary person who has never set foot in cultivation, are here?"
Another short and thin young man also nodded and asked:
"Furthermore, you are not even the least bit afraid of the auras of the three of us. This is not normal."
Xiao Zhan's eyes were calm and he slowly said:
"I was a casual cultivator before, and I also practiced."
"A few days ago, I made an agreement with several other casual cultivators to come here to hunt ferocious beasts, but in the end there was a conflict. They destroyed all my strength and left me to fend for myself here."
Hearing this, the two young men frowned deeper.
The woman looked at the two senior brothers angrily:
"Senior Brother Gao, Senior Brother Ai, why are you so suspicious?"
Gao Zhuang's eyes flashed:
"Junior Sister Tong, you must be on guard against others. Now is a critical period."
Ai Shou also nodded:
"Yes, Junior Sister Tong, there are still many people in the enemy's domain lurking in various worlds in our domain."
"Before departure, Master specifically told us not to have contact with any strangers."
Tong Yan pointed at Xiao Zhan angrily:
"If he was from the enemy's territory and could sneak into our world, how could he be like this?"
After saying that, Tong Yan looked at Xiao Zhan and asked softly:
"What's your name? Are you from the enemy's territory?"
Xiao Zhan exhaled a thick breath:
"My name is Xiao Zhan. As for the enemy territory you are talking about, I don't understand."
"Did you hear that?" Tong Yan looked at Gao Zhuang and Ai Shou:
"It's already pitiful that he was abandoned by his companions, but you still doubt him!"
Gao Zhuang and Ai Shou looked at each other, neither of them entangled in this matter.
"Junior sister Tong, we have a mission, we can't waste too much time, so we should hurry up and get on our way."
Tong Yan hesitated:
"But if we just leave like this, Xiao Zhan will definitely not survive."
As she said that, she looked at Xiao Zhan, smiled and asked:
"Xiao Zhan, why don't we take you with us and put you down when we reach a safe area?"
Before Xiao Zhan could speak, Gao Zhuang and Ai Shou said in unison:
"no!"
"Junior Sister Tong, take him with you. Our speed will be much slower!"
"Yes, Junior Sister Tong, we have done our best to save his life just now!"
Tong Yan put her hands on her hips and said angrily:
"Senior Brother Gao, Senior Brother Ai, if you don't save someone in the face of death, doesn't that violate the teacher's teachings?"
"I don't care, if you don't take me with you, I will take Xiao Zhan out myself."
Gao Zhuang and Ai Shou looked at each other again, and then could only nod, which was regarded as acquiescence.
However, Gao Zhuang still looked at Xiao Zhan and warned:
"Boy, let me remind you, don't cause us any trouble on the road!"
After saying that, he used his flying magic weapon.
This is a golden blanket that has grown to more than ten meters in length and width, enough to accommodate dozens of people.
Tong Yan waved her hand, and a soft energy carried Xiao Zhan flying up, landing steadily on the flying carpet.
Xiao Zhan thanked him and sat down cross-legged.
Next, Gao Zhuang and Ai Shou took turns controlling the flying carpet, flying quickly in mid-air.
But Tong Yan likes to talk very much and has been chatting with Xiao Zhan.
"Xiao Zhan, those people who abandoned you are so abominable!"
Tong Yan clenched her pink fists, her face full of anger:
"In our Piaomiao Sect, there will never be such a person!"
Xiao Zhan was just making up the story, so naturally he didn't want to talk more about it.
Seeing that Xiao Zhan was silent, Tong Yan put her hand on Xiao Zhan's shoulder:
"They destroyed your cultivation, why don't I help you see if I can reopen the Source Aperture for you?"
The two words "Yuanqiao" immediately caught Xiao Zhan's attention.
He realized that this might be an important part of the world's cultivation system.
If we could figure out the chill of the Origin Aperture, we might be able to access a deeper system of rules.
So, Xiao Zhan nodded and thanked him again.
Tong Yan smiled and sat behind Xiao Zhan, placing her fair hands on Xiao Zhan's back.
The next moment, Xiao Zhan felt a soft, strange energy penetrate into his body.
But in less than a second, Xiao Zhan felt as if his body was going to explode. He spit out a mouthful of blood and his whole state became even more depressed.
"Ah! What's wrong with you!"
Tong Yan screamed in fright and quickly checked on Xiao Zhan.
Her little face was full of panic, obviously she had never encountered such a situation before.
"Senior Brother Gao, Senior Brother Ai, look at what happened to Xiao Zhan!"
Gao Zhuang frowned, somewhat indifferent to this.
He glanced at Ai Shou, who had a helpless face and could only walk to Xiao Zhan and put his hand on Xiao Zhan's shoulder.
The next moment, he frowned tightly, stared into Xiao Zhan's eyes and asked:
"You said that you were a casual cultivator before, but why didn't I sense the existence of any source orifice in your body?!"
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "I don't know what method they used to destroy my source aperture."
Ai Shou narrowed his eyes:
"Even if those people destroy your source aperture, there should still be energy in your body that will not completely dissipate in a short period of time."
Xiao Zhan shook his head:
"I'm confused too."
Ai Shou looked at Xiao Zhan coldly.
He didn't know what Xiao Zhan was doing, but he just thought it was unreasonable.
Tong Yan became more and more anxious at this time, her eyes full of worry:
"Senior Brother Ai, is Xiao Zhan's life in danger?"
Tong Yan was kind-hearted and thought she had hurt Xiao Zhan just now.
Ai Shou shook his head, "I don't know what his situation is."
After saying that, Ai Shou walked to the side and sat down cross-legged, obviously no longer intending to care about Xiao Zhan's affairs.
Xiao Zhan also looked at Tong Yan with a calm expression:
"it does not matter."
Tong Yan was lost in thought.
After a long time, she looked at Xiao Zhan and said:
"When we get to a safe place, we'll put you down and pick you up when we come back from our business."
"When the time comes, you will follow us back to Piaomiao Sect. My master is very skilled in medicine. She will definitely be able to cure your injuries!"
Xiao Zhan frowned.
Although Ai Shou couldn't see what was happening to him now, it didn't mean that the childlike master couldn't see it.
If the other party sees that he is not from this world, or even from this realm, then judging from his current state, he will definitely die.
Seeing that Xiao Zhan didn't speak, Tong Yan comforted him and said:
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Zhan, my master is very kind."
"Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to heal your injuries!"
Xiao Zhan didn't know what to say.
Over the past tens of thousands of years, Xiao Zhan has seen too many people and things. Xiao Zhan has also seen a lot of simple and unprepared people like Tong Yan.
Such a person is very pure.
But it was impossible for Xiao Zhan to reveal his identity.
If the two realms continue to fight, then one day in the future, people like Tong Yan will have to join the realm war and eventually sacrifice their lives.
A few hours later.
The flying carpet flew out of this grassland, and after crossing several tall mountains, a huge city appeared in sight. .
Tong Yan personally took Xiao Zhan into the city, chose an inn for Xiao Zhan to stay, and told Xiao Zhan not to leave, and to take Xiao Zhan with her when she came back.
Moreover, she also helped Xiao Zhan pay for his hotel stay and explained the situation to the store owner.
From the attitude of the store owner, Xiao Zhan could tell that as a disciple of the Piaomiao Sect, he was still very popular.
It can be inferred from this that the Piaomiao Sect is a considerable force.
After Tong Yan left, Xiao Zhan went to the first floor of the inn and asked for some food.
Now that he is in mortal form, he is already extremely hungry and must replenish his energy through diet.
When the waiter was serving the food, he sat down next to Xiao Zhan and brought a bottle of wine, saying it was for free.
He poured Xiao Zhan a glass, poured himself another glass, and asked with a smile:
"Brother, I haven't eaten yet. Can we have some drinks together?"
Xiao Zhan nodded and did not refuse.
The waiter was a thin young man, wearing a gray-brown cloth, with a table-wiping strip on his shoulders.
He picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said with a smile:
"Brother, aren't you from the Piaomiao Sect?"
Xiao Zhan nodded and said truthfully:
"I used to be a casual cultivator, but then I encountered some dangers and met three people from the Piaomiao Sect. They saved me."
The waiter nodded:
"The disciples of the Piaomiao Sect are famous for their willingness to help others. You are lucky to meet them, brother."
Xiao Zhan didn't say anything, but raised his glass and clinked it with the waiter.
There were not many customers in the store at this time.
The waiter also has a good drinking capacity, and we got to know each other quite well after a few drinks.
Xiao Zhan asked casually:
"Aren't you practicing?"
The waiter smiled and waved his hand:
"If I could practice, could I still serve people here?"
He felt a little emotional:
"You are much luckier than me to be a casual cultivator."
"I can't open the source aperture, and I am destined to have no chance of practicing cultivation in this life."
"But it's good to be an ordinary person. You can live a stable life without so much fighting, killing, and grudges."
"Just don't be blind and provoke the practitioners, otherwise there will be no explanation for you if you die."
Xiao Zhan nodded and continued to ask:
"I'm not much better than you. Although my source of energy was opened before, it's all disabled now."
The waiter was stunned for a moment, then comforted him:
"This is fate, it doesn't matter, just look at it."
"If you don't mind, I'll go talk to the innkeeper and ask you to stay and help. Anyway, our inn is still short of people, so we two hit it off and we want to work together."
Xiao Zhan thought for a while, nodded and said:
"Then it will be hard work."
The waiter smiled and waved his hand, then stood up and walked upstairs.
After a while, he walked down, sat down opposite Xiao Zhan, and said happily:
"Our shopkeeper is also a good person."
"If she hadn't given me the food, I would have starved to death long ago."
"The shopkeeper said that we will take care of food and housing. There will be no monthly money for the first half of the year. After half a year, we will have one or two silver coins per month."
"This is already a lot. Compared with other inns in our city, it has doubled."
Xiao Zhan nodded:
"Then I'll go and thank the shopkeeper in person later."
The waiter nodded with a smile and introduced:
"My surname is Dian, and my name is Dianwei. You can just call me Xiaowei. If you don't understand anything, just come and ask me."
"Also, our shopkeeper has a rather cold temperament. Although he is kind-hearted, he is always cold on the surface. You will get used to it in the future."
