Master, you go first!

This stroll lasted until noon. Shen Nian bought a lot of clothes and accessories, and also picked out a lot for Lao Xu and Gu Jiu. Wanting to buy something for Lu Rui, Lu Rui quickly said that he could do it himself, and if he wanted to bring something to the master, Shen Nian wouldn't have to pay.

Perhaps Shen Nian's happy look was a little out of control, and from time to time she would pull Gu Jiulurui and the others to say wow. In addition, the girl had grown up now, and people who cultivated immortals already had a bit of fairy spirit in them, so it was more or less It was still a bit eye-catching, but it was noticed by a few casual cultivators with evil intentions. Seeing Shen Nian talking and laughing in front of Gu Jiu and the others, and occasionally jumping around like a butterfly in the flowers, the eyes of several casual cultivators were straightened, and their laughter was flowing all over the floor.

After shopping for so long, Gu Jiu really wanted to go back, thinking about the two boxes of blind boxes in the ring. Helplessly, Shen Nian was really like walking into the city with muddy legs. It was so new and he was clamoring to go to a restaurant right now.

The three of them found a nearby restaurant and walked in. The waiter greeted them warmly and took them to an empty table by the fence on the second floor to sit down. The casual cultivators also followed in and sat at the table next to them.

"Waiter, bring over any signature dishes." Shen Nian, who only had three taels of silver left in his pocket, told the waiter arrogantly. She knew that Gu Jiu had money, so she wasn't worried at all.

The people at the next table were secretly observing here. In the world of immortality, there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons. They, the casual cultivators, are also well aware of this principle.

Gu Jiu and the others ate their food and commented on what they had seen in the county today. The topic brought up Xu Yuhong, and Shen Nian sighed, "It would be great if my master's cultivation level hadn't dropped. He's been going crazy in the mountains without taking me out to play for the past few years."

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. Several people at the next table heard this and expressed secret joy.

At the same time, there was a table opposite the fence on the second floor. A man and a woman were sitting opposite each other. The man was about 20 years old and handsome. The woman looked to be about the same age as Gu Jiu. She had two buns on her hair and was a very cute little girl. The two of them silently paid attention to these casual cultivators.

After eating and drinking, the three of them walked out of the restaurant. Seeing this, several casual cultivators quickly paid their bills and followed him out secretly. Two more people followed behind to check out. It's really like a picture of a mantis or an oriole.

When Gu Jiu went out, he saw a candy seller's stall opposite. He turned to Shen Nian and said, "I'll buy you some candy, and then we'll go back."

Shen Nian was a little reluctant to give up, but she still felt that Gu Jiu was right, and she still had something to bring to the master. Thinking that the master would be very happy to receive the things, she nodded in agreement.

Gu Jiu stepped forward and bought two, giving one to Lu Rui and one to Shen Nian.

The stall owner was a little confused, "Young master, don't you want one for yourself?"

"No, only children eat this." Gu Jiu paid the money and left.

Shen Nian and Lu Rui followed with candy figures, feeling a little weird and, yes, awkward.

……

The three of them left the city and walked along the official road. There were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, until after four or five miles, there were almost no pedestrians at all. They prepared to return to the sect with their swords.

At this moment, four figures came down from the sky with swords and stood in front of them. They were the casual cultivators who had been secretly following them all the way.

"Stop." The leader shouted.

This man looks like a human, but his eyes are a bit evil. He stared at Shen Nian and licked his lips, his dirty look clearly revealed.

"Brother, what nonsense are you talking to them about? I'll tie up the girl and kill the other two," a black man who followed him said impatiently.

Seeing this, Shen Nian drew out his long sword and said, "Who are you? You dare to stop us from the Lingxue Mountain Sect."

"Hey, little beauty, you're so scared," another follower, who looked like a skinny monkey, sneered, "Lingxue Mountain Sect? I've never heard of it. Why don't you call your master to save you."

As soon as Shen Nian heard the other side mocking his master, Shen Nian was about to lose his temper, drew his sword and wanted to step forward. Seeing this, Lu Rui quickly stopped him and whispered, "Junior sister, don't be impulsive. The opponent is at least a foundation-building practitioner. We don't have the advantage in numbers. If you want to take action, let me go first. My defense is higher than yours."

"Hahaha, it's still a strong horse, I like it." The black man spoke again.

"Come on, brothers, arrest that woman." The leader waved his hand, and the three followers heard the words and wanted to step forward to arrest her.

"Hey." Lu Rui saw the three people coming forward, waved his hand and punched, and a thick spiritual energy fist went straight towards the three people.

Shen Nian followed up by lighting two fireballs.

"You dare to resist, you are seeking death." The black man drew his sword and fought against the fist shadow. He found that the fist shadow's power was beyond his expectation, and he was pushed back several steps with his whole body.

Seeing this, the thin monkey quickly stretched out his hand to scratch, and a claw mark of spiritual energy grabbed the fist shadow. It neutralized most of the spiritual power of the fist shadow, and was able to break the black man's siege.

Another follower in black, who had been silent, quickly blocked Shen Nian's fireball with two palms, and then ran straight forward, still making secrets in his hand, as if he was holding back some moves.

After Shen Nian threw the small fireball, he also started making secrets to gather the big fireball.

Gu Jiu was behind, and his combat effectiveness was almost zero. It seemed that Shen Nian could catch up with the fireball, so he could only act as a cheerleader from the side, "Master, blow him up to death."

Although Gu Jiu was full of energy, he was quite panicked. With his small body and small cultivation level, someone could defeat him with just a few skills.

The man in black raised his hand after making the seal, and a crescent-like wave of blood-colored aura quickly came towards Shen Nian. Shen Nian launched a fireball to collide with it, and it collided less than ten steps away from Shen Nian. In an instant, The explosion exploded, and the aftermath caused debris and dust to fly on the ground.

Gu Jiu didn't have time to react and dodge, but she saw Shen Nian turning around to protect Gu Jiu, grabbing him and jumping back a long distance.

Gu Mou felt warm in his heart. It felt good to be protected, but he was also very embarrassed about his lack of cultivation.

"Yeah." Two gravels hit Shen Nian's back. She grunted, then let go of Gu Jiu and turned around to defend herself.

Gu Jiu gritted her teeth and felt resentful, feeling more and more that her own weakness was her original sin. Seeing the disadvantage of the battle situation, he felt incompetent and furious.

The man in black jumped back in surprise. He didn't expect that his charged attack in the late stage of foundation building only missed half a dozen times. It seems that the other party is also in the late stage of foundation building.

The leader looked at the situation and felt that it was stable. As long as he took action again, it would be easy to capture.

"Hahaha, accept your fate." He laughed. He was ready to go and capture Shen Nian.

"Are we going to explain here today?" Gu Jiu glared at the other party unwillingly.

Lu Rui put up a posture and prepared to fight to the death.

At this moment, two more people flew up from the sky. They were the man and woman who were sitting across from each other on the second floor of the restaurant earlier.

"Senior brother, that's right, it's this group of people." Wan Zitou said excitedly to the man.

The man nodded, put his two fingers together, moved his sword skills, pointed diagonally downwards, and a lightning-fast aura sword shadow pierced the leader of the casual cultivators below.
