C686 Substitute

“Sigh.” Nie Luo sighed and said in a deep voice, “Wuxiang, that little heartless girl treated you differently. Even if she wanted to leave, why didn’t she tell you?”

Every time he thought about how Feng Yu treated Wuxiang differently, Nie Luo felt extremely depressed.

He was the one who talked to her first, and he was also the one who was interested in her first. However, why did she think that Wuxiang was much closer to her than him?

This was a question that he couldn’t figure out.

Wuxiang pursed his lips and stayed silent for a few seconds. Then, he said in a deep voice, “Because I am just a substitute in her heart.”

It was Tong Ye’s substitute.

Or maybe, she still thought that he was Tong Ye.

However, he was not. He was just Wuxiang, the Wuxiang of the Castle of Nothingness.

Nie Luo looked at him with a weird expression and said, “Are you sure you are a substitute?”

Why did he never have such a feeling?

Feng Yu’s different attitude toward Wuxiang came from the bottom of her heart. It was definitely not as simple as just treating him as a substitute.

Wuxiang moved his eyes away and changed the topic that made him unhappy.

“The old men from our families will also come to snatch the treasures. When you see them later, remember to remind them not to care too much about the treasures. It is better to be wise and protect themselves.”

If he died, even if he managed to snatch the treasures, so what?

He had a feeling that the experts that were going to snatch the treasure this time weren’t ordinary.

Nie Luo nodded and said with a heavy expression, “I know. Don’t worry.”

Wuxiang was right. From the current situation, it was better to stay calm.

The supreme treasures in the world would definitely attract countless experts to fight over them. Although their fathers had good cultivation, there were still many people in the Saint Luo Continent, so they weren’t that outstanding.

Who knew if there would be cultivators from the higher realms that would come for the treasure this time. If there were, then the treasure would become the source of disaster.

If they just watched from the side, then they wouldn’t be able to resist and fight over the treasure. Who knew if they would die in the battle?

“He’s here.”

Wuxiang’s voice sounded. Nie Luo raised his eyebrows and said, “Who is he?”

Wuxiang’s perfect chin tapped and said, “Here.”

Nie Luo looked in the direction he was pointing at and saw a dark blue figure under a big tree.

The figure was tall and straight, and his back was facing them. Even though Nie Luo couldn’t see his face, he recognized him at first glance.

“Qiu Xunfeng, haha…”

Nie Luo laughed meaningfully and his dark blue eyes narrowed.

He wasn’t too surprised that this person would come.

Qiu Xunfeng, who was standing under the tree, suddenly raised his head. He saw Nie Luo and Phaseless standing on the branches.

He moved his feet and appeared on another branch of the tree. He looked at Nie Luo and Phaseless.

“The two of you are here.”

Nie Luo smirked and said mockingly, “Why can’t we come if you are here?”

Qiu Xunfeng didn’t mind Nie Luo’s attitude at all. He said in a melancholic tone, “It seems that you are here for her.”

Although she didn’t say it clearly, everyone knew who she was.

Nie Luo snorted and said, “So what? Even if I am here for her, it has nothing to do with you. Besides, this tree is our territory now. You should get lost.”

He didn’t like Qiu Xunfeng at all. In fact, he hated her. So, he wouldn’t be polite to her.

Qiu Xunfeng raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, “I can feel her aura.”

After he finished speaking, his red lips curled up. His eyes were shining. It was as if he hadn’t heard Nie Luo’s words from the beginning to the end.

Nie Luo’s heart was moved. He couldn’t help but step on the branch where Qiu Xunfeng was standing. He reached out to pick up Qiu Xunfeng’s clothes and said impatiently.

“What did you say? Who do you feel?”

Even the calm-looking Phaseless couldn’t help but be moved. He pursed his lips and looked at the man in Nie Luo’s hand.

Qiu Xunfeng smiled. He had a gentle face and a warm expression. He looked like a nice person. He said, “I remember that you wanted to chase me away just now.”

Nie Luo…

He narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth. He looked like he had just been stepped on. He said fiercely, “Stop talking nonsense. You sensed Feng Yu’s aura, right? Where is she?”

“What are you so excited about?”

Qiu Xunfeng reached out and moved his hand away. He flicked the wrinkles on his clothes elegantly. He smiled and said unhurriedly, “Even if I’m excited, I won’t tell you where she is. Goodbye.”

Before Nie Luo could react, Qiu Xunfeng landed on the tree like a flash of light and disappeared quickly.

He was a vengeful person. Since Nie Luo was so rude to him, he would definitely make him very unhappy.

Nie Luo must feel like there were countless claws scratching his heart. He must be very unhappy.

Qiu Xunfeng was in a good mood when he thought about this. He thought that he would soon see the woman that he had been thinking about for a long time. He was in an indescribably good mood.

Nie Luo was so angry that his nose almost crooked when he saw Qiu Xunfeng disappear. Was this damn Qiu Xunfeng messing with him?

“Damn it, I’ll go kill him.”

He gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, preparing to chase after him. However, his arm was quickly caught.

Wuxiang looked at the man in front of him indifferently and said, “Since he can sense Feng Yu’s aura, it means that Feng Yu is nearby. If that’s the case, why are you in such a hurry? Just wait and see.”

If she was nearby, it meant that she might come here, steal the treasure, or… watch the show.

After hearing Wuxiang’s words, Nie Luo’s raging emotions gradually calmed down. He humphed and frowned as he said, “Who knows if Qiu Xunfeng is lying to us? What if Feng Yu isn’t nearby?”

Wuxiang said indifferently, “Is it important whether he’s lying to us or not? If Feng Yu is here, we can naturally see her. If she isn’t here, even if you kill Qiu Xunfeng, it would be useless.”

Furthermore, he might not be able to kill her.

Qiu Xunfeng… was also an abnormal existence.

Nie Luo snorted unhappily. However, he did not break free from Wuxiang’s pursuit. It could be seen that he had completely listened to Wuxiang’s words.

Boom!

The ground shook once again. The big tree shook violently a few times. Then, a ball of emerald green light broke out of the ground and flew toward the sky.
