C24 Either Get Lost or Your Head will Fall to the Ground!
Mu Qingxue nodded without a word. She was not interested in Lee Zhe at all. After nodding his head, he decided to leave on his own.
Seeing that Mu Qingxue was about to leave, Lee Qinglin immediately winked at her. However, this subtle action still caught Mu Qingxue's attention. A trace of coldness flashed through Mu Qingxue's beautiful eyes.
Everyone knew about Sima Zhao's heart. How could Mu Qingxue not know Lee Qinglin's intentions?
"Ai …" "Miss Mu, since you and I believe in each other today, why don't you come to my tent and have a drink and increase our understanding?"
Receiving his uncle's hint, Lee Zhe hurriedly stood in front of Mu Qingxue.
"Out of the way!"
Mu Qingxue's beautiful eyes narrowed as she spoke.
"Miss Mu, I have no other intentions. I just want to become friends with Miss Mu!"
Lee Zhe said with a smile.
"I told you to scram, did you hear me?"
Mu Qingxue's pretty face was a little angry. She was extremely disgusted by Lee Zhe's pestering.
Being scolded by him, Lee Zhe's expression had also changed. Although he was not the number one genius in Nine Prefectures Eighteen Cities, he could still be considered as the target of focus within the family. When had he ever been treated like this?
"Miss Mu, I heard that your fiance is Greenwood City's trash young Master, Xiao Jian. How could I, Lee Zhe, be worse than a piece of trash? "
Lee Zhe's expression was a bit ugly as he said.
"Whoosh."
A white sword appeared in her hand. Without waiting for Lee Zhe to say anything, she put the sword on Lee Zhe's neck.
Lee Zhe didn't expect Mu Qingxue to be so direct. Without any warning, Mu Qingxue had already taken control of his vitals. At this distance, if Mu Qingxue wanted to kill him, it would be a matter of minutes.
"I'll say it again. Scram! Dozens of times I hit you, either you scram or your head falls to the ground!"
Mu Qingxue said with an ice-cold expression. She couldn't stand people talking bad about Xiao Jian the most. Xiao Jian had always been an inviolable existence in her heart. What was Lee Zhe to speak so arrogantly?
"Hehe …" "Miss Mu, don't be rash. I'll go, I'll go!"
Lee Zhe's face was a bit pale. He was a sensible person. At this moment, if he did not admit his mistake in time, he completely believed that Mu Qingxue's sword would slash down and take his life.
Even if his uncle was here, there was nothing he could do. Even if his uncle could do anything to Mu Qingxue, so what? What if he was dead? What was the use of revenge?
"Miss, don't be rash. If you have offended her in any way, please forgive me!"
Originally, he wanted to let his nephew climb up Mu Qingxue's branch, but he didn't think that Mu Qingxue's reaction would be so huge. Also, was Xiao Family really that trash that important?
Even Mu Qingxue was protecting him like this, what was so good about that trash?
"If I were to hear more insults directed at my fiancé, you all will not need to return to the Mu Family anymore!"
Mu Qingxue retracted her sword and said with an ice-cold expression. Then, he left without even glancing at the two.
After Mu Qingxue left, the uncle and nephew pair glanced at each other and saw the unwillingness and hatred in each other's eyes.
"What's so good about that piece of trash? A piece of trash can actually get her favor, while I can't?"
After Mu Qingxue had left, Lee Zhe said bitterly. There was even a trace of jealousy in his eyes. He couldn't figure it out the most. The number of young talents who were infatuated with Mu Qingxue was innumerable in Nine Prefectures Eighteen Cities. Only Xiao Jian was able to look into her eyes.
As for Xiao Jian, he was a well-known trash. He could not understand such a thing.
"I heard that Xiao Jian also entered the Fire Mountain, and this trash doesn't have any cultivation, I'm afraid he won't be able to walk out of the Fire Mountain, why are you fighting with a dead person? At that time, as long as you are able to shine during the battle for the Holy Beast and obtain the benefits that you deserve, at that time, I am afraid it will not be just us begging for Mu Family, but for Mu Family! "
Lee Qinglin's eyes lit up as he said.
Uncle is right, that is a Holy Beast! A Holy Beast that is severely injured, as long as it has some flesh and blood, after taking it, it will soar into the sky, and when that happens, I will have Mu Family begging me. I will have Mu Qingxue kneeling in front of me begging me to look at her!
When Lee Zhe heard Lee Qinglin's words, a fiery look flashed across his eyes. In his eyes, he had already seen the scene of Mu Qingxue softly turning and turning in his lap.
"Good nephew, that's right. This is a chance for you to participate in the competition, but I begged the Patriarch to come and fight for you, so don't let me down! "
Lee Qinglin was very satisfied with his nephew's performance. He nodded and said.
"Nephew will live up to uncle's expectations!"
"Very good. In the future, our future prospects will depend on yours, uncle and nephew!"
Lee Qinglin patted Lee Zhe's shoulder in satisfaction and said. He was the first to leave. Seeing his uncle leave, Lee Zhe also followed. However, his eyes were still filled with unwillingness.
As night fell, intermittent cries of Demonic Beast began to resound from the Fire Mountain s. Some were far away, some were close, some were high, and some were low. If a person were to be left alone in such a deep forest, the average person would definitely be scared out of their wits.
Xiao Jian carried a huge boulder on his back as he walked forward. When night fell, he had already entered the range of the Fire Mountain, and with another day, he should be able to reach his destination Flame Valley.
The deeper they went into the Fire Mountain, the higher the temperature became. Xiao Jian had been carrying a huge boulder for five or six hours already and his clothes were already soaked. His legs felt as heavy as lead and he even lost consciousness.
He wanted this kind of effect. As night fell, he wanted to stop, but he realized that he was in a bad situation. He walked up to a protruding rock and put down the boulder he was carrying. He then stood up the boulder while leaning on it.
He took off his clothes and threw them on the grass. Then, he took out his water bag and started drinking.
Not far from Xiao Jian, a pair of salty eyes were staring at him.
"Go back and tell the young master that trash young Master from Xiao Family has entered the range of the Fire Mountain and will stop right here. We will continue to keep an eye on him!"
There were a total of three people hiding in the darkness, and the leader of the group said to a skinny little man beside him. Hearing this, the short one immediately nodded his head and stepped back.
Xiao Jian's body was just covered by the huge rock. The remaining two people, one was the leader, and the other one, was a fat little fatty. Both of them were wearing gray clothes with the word "Stone" embroidered on their chests, it was obvious that they were people from Shi Family.
The two of them hid in the dark and observed Xiao Jian for a long time. However, Xiao Jian, who was sitting behind the rock, didn't make any movements. As the angle was blocked by the rock, they couldn't see Xiao Jian's situation.
After a while, Xiao Jian, who was behind the rock, did not move at all. The two people who were observing in the dark were starting to suspect something. This situation seemed to be very strange.
"Fatty, go over there and see what this trash is doing hiding behind a rock?"
The leader felt that the situation was too strange, so he spoke up. No one answered him after he finished, so he urged again.
"Fatty, did you listen to me? Go over there and see what that trash is doing?"
The fatty ignored him. The person in the lead became a little angry and his tone became a little more serious. However, there was still no response from behind him. However, a hand was placed on his shoulder.
"What for?"
The leader of the group was thoroughly angered. He turned around and saw a faint smile on his face. The smiling director was none other than Xiao Jian.
When the leader of the group saw this, he was completely stupefied. He was about to struggle free, but before he could do so, he suddenly felt a chill down his throat. An ice-cold dagger was stabbed into his neck.
Before he died, his face was full of disbelief. His eyes were wide open as he stared at Xiao Jian. He died with grievance, but his body fell to the ground uncontrollably.
After putting down his corpse, Xiao Jian searched the two of them and took out all the things that they could use.
These two were just servants of Shi Family, there weren't many valuables on them. Xiao Jian only found a total of 300 silver coins and two Rank 1 Demonic Beast's beast cores on them.
Silver Coins were a good item. Even though it was a bit small, it was still a good thing to keep. Moreover, he was currently in the Xiao Family. Even though his Xiao Family was considered a large clan's Greenwood City, its Greenwood City itself wasn't considered a large city, so he didn't have much resources.
Compared to the huge amount of cultivation resources he needed, it was obviously not enough.
In the past, he didn't need to cultivate, so he didn't need to use the monthly rule. But now, he could cultivate a Profound Qi, and the amount of resources he needed would be massive.
Even if the family was willing to support him, it would not be enough to satisfy his training needs. Therefore, he could only rely on his own hands. Three hundred silver was not a lot, but it was still a little bit much.
In the Xiao Family, if he wanted to use the family's resources, his father would have to see the expressions of those old fellows, so Xiao Jian didn't want his father to be troubled.
After collecting everything, Xiao Jian suddenly thought of something. His body moved and he chased after the skinny and short man.
The skinny little man brought back his report and ran through the forest. The forest was unusually quiet at night, and although he was a cultivator, he could feel that the atmosphere in the entire forest was strange. He felt a chill in his heart and quickened his pace.
At this time, a cool breeze blew through the forest and swept up the leaves on the ground. The coldness in the skinny man's heart became even stronger as he quickened his pace. At this time, he was already running as fast as he could.
The cool breeze was getting stronger and stronger, even lifting up the leaves and sending them flying into the air. He always felt uneasy, as if someone was following him.
"Who, come out!"
The skinny and short man summoned up his courage and shouted at the flying leaves in the sky, but still no one answered him.
"Swoosh …"
Just at that moment, the sound of wind breaking rang out. A leaf flew towards him, and that leaf gradually enlarged in his eyes before being forcibly inserted into his throat.
Looking at the tree leaves that were stuck in his throat, the skinny, short man's eyes widened in disbelief. Even in death, his body collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud.
