C720 Sneak into the Crowd
Although he didn't know him, Lee Zhuohua had helped him in the end. It was just that this method was a bit different, but in his heart, he was still very grateful for Lee Zhuohua's help, but he was not good at expressing himself, so he could only thank him.
"What's there to thank? It was just a small matter." Lee Zhuohua waved his hand, he did not care, and then said: "But I have something I need your help."
When Wuliuqi heard Lee Zhuohua's words, he thought back to what the other party had just said. He probably wanted him to tell him how to get out of this mountain range.
"Oh yeah, what is your name? My name is Lee Zhuohua." Lee Zhuohua asked with a smile.
"Wuliuqi." When Wuliuqi heard his name, he was slightly taken aback, but he still told him the truth.
His name was a disgrace to him many times, but he didn't feel any disdain or disgust from Lee Zhuohua. This was the first time he felt a kind of equality from Lee Zhuohua, so when he told Lee Zhuohua his name, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Wuliuqi? That is an interesting name." Lee Zhuohua was a little surprised to hear his name, but he didn't ask any further.
Although Lee Zhuohua was not curious about Wuliuqi's name, it still made him feel slightly relieved. He didn't want to tell the other party where his name came from.
"Fifth Brother, do you know how to get to the Profound Sect? I want to go to the Profound Sect, but because I am not familiar with this place, I lost my way here." After a simple exchange, Lee Zhuohua directly asked.
When Wuliuqi heard Lee Zhuohua call him his fifth brother, he was slightly taken aback. In the past, no one would call him that. Most of the time, they would call him by his full name, or bastard, etc. These two words made Wuliuqi feel the dignity of being treated as an equal.
"Fifth brother?" Lee Zhuohua saw that the linen-clothed youth was in a daze, and said softly once again.
"Hmm? Ah? You want to go to the Profound Sect?" Wuliuqi, who had regained his senses, felt a little embarrassed, but when he realized that Lee Zhuohua was going to the Profound Sect, he became suspicious once again.
Why was the other party going to the Profound Sect? Could it be that he was also going to acknowledge a master?
"That's right. I want to go to the Profound Sect. I heard that the Profound Sect is going to start recruiting disciples in fifteen days. I want to go and give it a try." Lee Zhuohua casually made up a lie.
Hearing Lee Zhuohua's reply, Wuliuqi did not doubt him in his heart. Perhaps it was because the other party had given him respect.
"That's perfect! My team and I are going to the Profound Sect to participate in the enrollment ceremony fifteen days later. If you go to the Profound Sect, you will be on our way." Wuliuqi said directly.
Lee Zhuohua did not think that he would really be able to wait for the team to go to the Xuan Li Sect to acknowledge him as their master. This made him slightly happy in his heart, but he did not show it.
"So that's how it is. Then Fifth Brother, can you bring me to your team to take a look?" Lee Zhuohua said politely to Wuliuqi.
"Of course. They will be resting on the other side. Come with me." Hearing that, Wuliuqi was about to take Lee Zhuohua to the resting place of the other team.
Right at this moment, another set of trivial footsteps could be heard. From the sound of it, it seemed as if there was more than one person.
Just as Lee Zhuohua and the other man were looking in the direction of the voice.
"Senior brother, that demon is here. We saw it with our own eyes." The two well-dressed youths who had been scared out of their wits just now returned.
At the same time, they brought the others with them, including the disciple leading the group from the Mystic Leaving Sect.
The disciple who led the group from the Xuan Li Sect was only at the Body Refining Stage. When he heard that there was a monster here, he wanted to come over and take a look. If it was true, he planned to report it to the sect and have the people from the Profound Sect come and eliminate this monster. This way, he would also be able to make a contribution.
With this in mind, he allowed the whole party to follow him.
However, when they arrived, other than seeing Wuliuqi and Lee Zhuohua, they did not see what kind of monster the two young men in luxurious clothes were talking about.
"Hmm?" Lee Zhuohua saw that there were cultivators among the newcomers, so he stood quietly on the spot and observed the situation.
Wuliuqi did not expect that the other party would actually attract the attention of the entire team. He stood where he was in a daze.
"Where is the demon?" The leading young man saw five, six, seven, two people, but he did not care. He was a disciple of the sect, so he did not care about these ordinary people. He even thought that Lee Zhuohua was one of the members of the team.
"It's over there. It's that cactus," one of the young men said as he pointed at the cactus with a lingering fear in his eyes. At the same time, he shot a cold glance at Wuliuqi.
He had also seen Lee Zhuohua, but he did not know who Lee Zhuohua was. There were many people in the team that he did not know, and he thought that the other party was one of them.
"Hmm?" The young man in charge looked at the cactus.
However, there was nothing abnormal about the cactus. No matter how he looked at it, it looked like an ordinary plant. It couldn't be connected to a monster at all.
However, the young man leading the team didn't let down his guard. He slowly approached the cactus and began to observe it.
The two young men stood in the crowd, too afraid to step forward. The mere thought of what had just happened terrified them - that the cactus would suddenly move - and at the same time, they wondered why the monster hadn't eaten Wulianguqi.
The youth in charge looked carefully at the cactus and saw that it was just a normal plant. He wondered if the two young men were playing with him and his face turned cold.
"You two, come here." He turned around and shouted at the two young men.
The two men's bodies trembled when they were scolded by him. Although they had some background in their own little town, they still felt a sense of fear when facing their own sect.
Even though they were afraid that the cactus would suddenly make a move, they still braced themselves and walked over.
"Senior Brother, what's wrong?" The two well-dressed young men timidly looked at the cactus and asked the young man in the lead.
"You said that this is a monster?" There was something wrong with the young man's tone. He pointed at the cactus, and his eyes were full of coldness.
"Yes... yes, that was the cactus just now," one of them said hurriedly, frightened by the words of the young man leading the group.
"It's your head. Open your eyes wide and look carefully. It's just a normal cactus, idiot." The youth leading the group thought that the two were playing with him and lost his patience.
He grabbed their clothes and threw them at the cactus.
"Ah! Senior Brother, don't! I don't want to die!"
"Ah! Senior brother, save us!"
The two of them were thrown out before they knew what was going on. They were afraid that the monster would eat them, so they hurriedly called out for help.
However, the youth leading the group ignored them completely. After that, the two of them bumped into the cactus, and a pig-slaughtering howl rose into the sky.
"Ah!"
The two of them were pierced by the cactus's thorns all over their faces and bodies.
Now, the two of them finally understood that it was just a normal cactus, but what was going on just now?
When the people who had come with them saw this scene, they all let out snickers as if they were looking at two idiots.
"Puchi." When Lee Zhuohua saw this scene, he laughed even more unkindly.
"Two idiots." The leading young man snorted coldly, the anger in his heart dissipating slightly.
After that, he swept his gaze across the crowd, and his gaze paused on Wuliuqi and Lee Zhuohua for a moment.
"The rest is over. Everyone, get ready. Let's continue our journey." After saying that, the young man left by himself.
The original hour's rest time had been cut short, and everyone began to complain, but no one dared to say anything to the young leader. They only looked at the two men on the cactus, and their eyes were filled with anger.
After that, a few people came out of the group and took the two unlucky fellows down from the cactus, but they didn't do it to help them. After they got down, the two of them were about to say thank you when they were beaten up by the group.
Though they kept saying that the cactus was a monster, nobody paid any attention to them.
Lee Zhuohua had wanted to travel with the group through Wuliuqi's introduction, but no one found out about his identity as an outsider, which saved him a lot of trouble, so he decided to follow Wuliuqi and the others.
Wuliuqi wasn't stupid either. Since no one asked about Lee Zhuohua's background, he naturally wouldn't say anything.
Just like that, Lee Zhuohua successfully mixed into the team.
