Chapter 664
Chapter 664
About half a day's journey southwest from the mountain peak where Zhang Xiaohua was located, a group of male and female disciples were still busily searching for spiritual herbs in a lush green forest.
Junior Martial Brother Zhao, who was leading the group, sat proudly on a red horse. His thin chin was slightly stretched forward, and he squinted his eyes to look at the sunlight that shone through the leaves. He had a complacent look on his face. Senior Martial Sister Xia, who was beside him, had completely lost the arrogance of a Senior Martial Sister. She looked at the excited disciples who found spiritual herbs from time to time, and then looked at the jade boxes piled up like a mountain on the several carriages behind her. She was convinced and said, "Junior Martial Brother Zhao, I finally understand why the Hall Master gave you this important task before we set off. In such a difficult and dangerous time, you can actually make such a calm judgment and collect so many spiritual herbs and treasures for our Hall. Could this be the legendary 'fearless in the face of danger'?
As a Senior Martial Sister, I am convinced. "
Junior Martial Brother Zhao waved his hand and said, "Senior Martial Sister Xia, you flatter me. It was just a moment of luck. Moreover, this Junior Martial Brother has always been in the Jianghu and has seen many such tricks.
If Senior Martial Sister Xia had half of this Junior Martial Brother's experience, then your achievements would definitely be more than double of this Junior Martial Brother's. "
Senior Martial Sister Xia smiled like a flower and said, "Look at what you're saying. Everyone says that Junior Martial Brother Zhao knows how to conduct himself and is a first-class figure in the Hall. Senior Martial Sister didn't care about it before, but now it seems that no matter whether it's handling matters or decision-making, they are all absolutely brilliant. Compared to some of the so-called Direct Disciples, you are not just a little bit better!"
Hearing this, Junior Martial Brother Zhao's face turned cold. He turned his head to look at a male disciple who was squatting in the distance and carefully picking spiritual herbs. He curled his lips and sneered, "Direct Disciples?
What Direct Disciples are there now? "
Then, he looked at the world outside the forest and muttered, "Perhaps, only the disciples on Lingering Fragrance Peak can be Direct Disciples!"
Senior Martial Sister Xia also had a look of longing and said, "Yes, I always thought that my martial arts were excellent. But after seeing the inner disciples, I realized that I was just a frog in a well."
Then he added, "Not only is Junior Apprentice Brother Zhao meticulous, decisive, and able to see the big picture, his martial arts are also second to none. Moreover, he has obtained the favor of the Hall Master. This Lingering Fragrance Peak will open its doors to Junior Apprentice Brother sooner or later."
Junior Martial Brother Zhao's face flushed red. He cupped his hands and said, "Senior Martial Sister Xia is also ordinary. Don't all the female disciples in this hall follow Senior Martial Sister's lead?
Furthermore, our Fragrant Religion has always prioritized female disciples. In the future, Senior Sister Xia will have many more opportunities to enter Lingering Fragrance Peak than I do. En, if Senior Sister Xia gains any advantages, you will have to guide me! "
Senior Martial Sister Xia understood tacitly. She covered her mouth and laughed, "Junior Martial Brother Zhao is praising us too much. We are in the same boat. After this section, Junior Martial Brother Zhao will definitely soar to the sky. Senior Martial Sister is still waiting for your guidance."
"Hahaha," Junior Martial Brother Zhao laughed softly, "Since Senior Martial Sister says we are in the same boat, then we will not distinguish between each other. In the future, we will support each other and progress together."
After he finished speaking, he inadvertently glanced in another direction. There were a few female disciples bent over and seemed to be busy as well. At this moment, one of the tall female disciples tilted her body and let out a low cry.
Junior Martial Brother Zhao unconsciously moved his body and was about to go in that direction. But then he coughed softly and pretended to have just seen it. He raised his head and smiled, "Junior Martial Sisters have also worked hard. I wonder what happened over there?"
Senior Martial Sister Xia looked at Junior Martial Brother Zhao and smiled thoughtfully, "Oh, they must have accidentally bumped into something. En, look, the others have also gone over. There was no warning, so it shouldn't be a big matter."
Then she said, "The most dangerous things have been avoided under Junior Martial Brother's lead. What is this small matter?
Oh, that's right, a few days ago, the last signal sent by the inner court disciples was unclear. They must have reached the entrance of the valley. Also, the ferocious beast's roar was also in that direction. There hasn't been any movement in the past few days, so they must have all gone out, right? "
Junior Martial Brother Zhao's eyes were still slightly slanted as he looked in that direction from time to time. He said absent-mindedly, "Perhaps they have safely evacuated, or perhaps they were killed by the ferocious beast. Either way, it happened at the entrance of the valley, far away from us.
Also, the ferocious beast should have returned to the west. Our east side should be safe.
Sigh, these Junior Sisters should be cultivating properly in the hall. Bringing them here really makes me worry a lot. "
Senior Martial Sister Xia probed, "Junior Martial Brother Zhao is wise and powerful. You are also favored by the hall master. You must be the idol in the hearts of all the female disciples. If not for the fact that I am much older than you, I would definitely admire you. Haha, looking at Junior Martial Brother's appearance, it seems …"
Junior Martial Brother Zhao was taken aback. He immediately retracted his wandering gaze and smiled apologetically, "Look at what Senior Martial Sister is saying. Senior Martial Sister is at the age of a flower. Not to mention me, even the disciples in the hall, which one of them doesn't look forward to speaking to Senior Martial Sister?
It's just that Senior Martial Sister's standards are too high and you have never looked us in the eye. "
Senior Martial Sister Xia looked at Junior Martial Brother Zhao with a hint of charm in her eyes. She said softly, "Senior Martial Sister doesn't know that Junior Martial Brother also has such thoughts?"
Then, her face blushed a little and her voice became even softer, "Junior Martial Brother's charm, I … I have also seen it with my own eyes …"
When these words came out, Senior Martial Sister Xia's head had already fallen to the ground. Junior Martial Brother Zhao was taken aback. He looked at Senior Martial Sister Xia who had lowered her head, then turned his head to look at the tall lady who had already returned to normal. The corner of his mouth raised, as if he had made some sort of decision. He turned his head back and echoed, "Junior Martial Sister's great love, Junior Martial Brother will remember it. If it wasn't for this' Secluded Orchid Evening ', Junior Martial Brother wouldn't know the person in his heart … also …"
"Junior Martial Brother …" Senior Martial Sister Xia's face turned even redder …
At this moment, there was a sudden cry of surprise from outside the forest. Then, there was a cry of surprise, "Senior … Senior Martial Brother Zhao, quickly … quickly come and see!"
Junior Martial Brother Zhao was taken aback. His face immediately revealed a look of displeasure, and he scolded loudly, "What are you shouting for? Lower your voice, aren't you afraid of attracting the ferocious beasts?"
Then, he said warmly, "Senior Martial Sister, let's go and take a look. Perhaps something has happened."
"Okay ~" Senior Martial Sister Xia still hadn't escaped from the mood just now. She lowered her head and replied obediently. Even when she urged the horse forward, she was still absent-minded. Occasionally, she would use her hands to touch her hot cheeks.
When Junior Martial Brother Zhao rushed out of the forest, he looked in the direction that the disciple who had long been scared pale pointed. He couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air, and his face instantly changed color!
He saw that in the distance, there was a black mass of Blood Wolves. At a glance, he couldn't tell the exact number of Blood Wolves. They were like small squirming black dots, and were rapidly running towards them. Looking at the dust raised by them, could it be that there were thousands of them?
Junior Martial Brother Chen was first shocked, and then carefully looked in the direction that the pack of Blood Wolves were moving in. It seemed that they weren't moving towards the forest they were in, but should be passing by the forest. Thus, his heart calmed down a little, and he whispered, "Don't be noisy, quickly hide in the forest. These Blood Wolves are just passing by. As long as we are careful not to be discovered by them, we should be fine."
The disciple on duty was very puzzled, and said, "Senior Martial Brother Chen, if we run away now, wouldn't it be better for us to be as far away from the forest as possible?"
Senior Martial Brother Chen angrily said, "What do you know?
If we leave, what about the carriage and Spiritual Herbs here?
These are all things that our Hall Master needs!
Even if we have to pay with our lives, we can't lose these things. "
"But, if we leave first and wait for the Blood Wolves to pass by, then we can come back. Isn't it the same?" The disciple still wanted to argue.
Senior Martial Brother Chen was so angry that he laughed, "At this time, if we ride a horse, wouldn't the sound of the horse's hooves be a signal to the Blood Wolves?
But if we leave the horse alone in the forest, what would the horse know?
Once the Blood Wolves pass by, they would have already left their nest. At the same time, they would also attract the Blood Wolves. We can only stay here with the horse to protect the carriage and Spiritual Herbs. "
Then he said, "Quickly, go and inform all the disciples to pull their carriages tightly, and take good care of the horses. Don't let them neigh and attract the Blood Wolves."
Seeing that disciple run into the forest, Junior Martial Brother Chen reluctantly looked into the forest and whispered, "Senior Martial Sister Xia, let's go to the back of the forest and see if there are any traces of other ferocious beasts!"
Senior Martial Sister Xia was already infatuated, and now that she was panicking, she could only nod blankly and said, "I will listen to Junior Martial Brother's instructions."
Then, the two of them led the horses and slowly walked into the forest.
When the disciples in the forest heard the words of the disciple on duty and Senior Brother Chen's order, they hurriedly packed up their things and carefully hid. The disciple who was watching the horse also pulled the horse and used his hand to cover the horse's mouth, afraid that it would make the slightest sound.
When Junior Martial Brother Chen and Senior Martial Sister Xia led the horses to the back of the forest, there was only silence. Junior Martial Brother Chen looked around and whispered, "Senior Martial Sister, tie the horses here."
Senior Martial Sister Xia didn't understand, but she still obediently tied the horses to the tree.
After tying the horses, Junior Martial Brother Chen took Senior Martial Sister Xia's hand.
Senior Martial Sister Xia was shocked and immediately blushed. She gently withdrew her hand and murmured, "Junior Martial Brother, I … although I am … in love with you, but … but you also have to … respect … me. Even if I … am willing, but … in broad daylight, and with all the other Senior Martial Brothers … over there, it is really … inconvenient …"
When Junior Martial Brother Chen heard this, his heart also swayed. He squeezed the smooth little hand in his palm and whispered, "But Senior Martial Sister Xia knows my feelings. I miss you day and night. Just as Senior Martial Sister Xia said, this place is really not cheap. Moreover, the pack of wolves will be here soon. Let's hurry and leave. When we reach a safe place, I will …"
"Eh?"
When Senior Martial Sister Xia heard this, she was shocked and her thoughts faded away. She asked curiously, "Didn't you ask the disciples to hide in the forest? If we don't stay in the forest, where else can we go?"
Junior Martial Brother Chen pulled her hand. "Even if we can hide in the forest, how can it be better than the wilderness over there?
If we are not discovered by the pack of wolves, it won't be too late for us to come back. Besides, there are no disciples over there … "
As he spoke, he had already pulled Senior Martial Sister Xia and walked far away. Senior Martial Sister Xia's mind was already in a mess and she followed them.
There was not a single sound in the silent forest. Moreover, there were a few birds chirping, which made the forest even more serene.
The thousands of Blood Wolves didn't directly come to this strange forest. They just went far away from the forest and went in another direction.
At this moment, two long neighs of horses came from the forest, causing the faces of the disciples in the forest to be filled with shock …
