The whole sect is full of cunning people, only I am really stupid

"Third Brother, are we really going to take them both to look for the cold-branched grass?"

Li Xun glanced at Shen Ya who had fallen asleep beside the campfire and lowered his voice.

Shen Ya hasn't slept well these days.

Now that someone is keeping watch, she can finally have a good night's sleep.

"It's just a child. Just take her with you. When her master comes to find us, we might be able to get something good from her."

Qian Xiyu naturally didn't have that much kindness to give charity.

He agreed to take Shen Ya away, of course it was profitable.

"Did you see the hairpin on her head? There is a protective formation engraved on it. There are probably guardian beasts around the cold grass. Maybe she can help us."

When he heard about the guardian beast, fear flashed in Li Xun's eyes.

Any spiritual herb that has a guardian beast is not a simple spiritual herb.

Seeing Qian Xiyu in front of him, he suppressed his fear again, "Third Brother, is Han Zhi really as powerful as Master said?"

"Of course it is useful. Isn't my eldest brother the best example? Unfortunately, the cold branches are so rare that the ones I got before were only enough for my eldest brother."

Qian Xiyu sighed.

I am a little unhappy about the so-called privileges of the eldest brother.

Thinking that they probably wouldn't get nothing this time, that little bit of unhappiness disappeared.

"If we find Hanzhi this time, we will all have a share."

Thinking of his senior brother who became a Jindan cultivator overnight, Li Xun felt more envious.

According to the rules of their sect, they can keep a portion of what they find for themselves.

It was the eldest senior brother who found Han Zhi before, so when Han Zhi was refined into pills, the eldest senior brother also got a part of it.

"You guys keep an eye on Shen Ya and don't let her run away. Wait until you find Han Zhi, if that doesn't work..."

Qian Xiyu made a beheading gesture, "This way, even if her sect comes looking for us, we can get away with it cleanly."

The remaining few people are not good people either.

When no one heard Qian Xiyu say this, they all nodded to show that they understood.

Shen Ya didn't know all this. Knowing that this group of people would not touch him for the time being, Shen Ya slept soundly.

But the system heard it.

White Lion wanted to listen.

Unfortunately, these people were so wretched that they set up a soundproof enclosure.

It only saw the group of people's mouths moving, but it didn't hear anything they were saying.

The white lion felt that this secret realm was likely to be able to defeat it.

After I came in, things haven't been smooth sailing, and everything I do feels bumpy.

After a good sleep, Shen Ya woke up early.

As soon as she got up, Qian Xiyu, who was meditating next to her, woke up.

When she woke up, he asked her if she was hungry and stuffed some fasting pills into her mouth.

Qian Xiyu and the others had already established their foundation and did not need to eat. They did not want to go through the trouble of finding food for Shen Ya, so they just gave her a few fasting pills.

Last night, Qian Xiyu knew that Shen Ya had never eaten the Qigong Pill, and he secretly complained in his heart that he didn't know who Shen Ya's master was, and that he really doted on his disciple.

It is said that the Xiaoyao Sword Sect has strict management and has the most rules among the two sects and four factions.

Now it seems that is not entirely true.

Shen Ya was now living under someone else's roof, so naturally he didn't say much. He just threw the fasting pill into his mouth and fed one to the white lion as well.

At first Shen Ya didn't know where this group of people were going.

It was not until she saw the traces left by the fight between the giant turtle and the blue bird that she knew that this group of people were heading deeper into the secret realm.

No one knew where the giant turtle and the blue bird had disappeared, leaving behind only rows of trees that had been crushed by the battle.

It took Shen Ya and Bai Shi more than two days to get farther away from the depths of the secret realm, and they were brought back by this group of people just a few hours later.

Shen Ya was very helpless.

Not only are these people not good people, they also seem to be a bit stubborn.

If she had known this would happen, why would she and Bai Shi run away? They might as well have just waited here.

This group of people seemed to know the exact location of the cold branch grass. They did not deviate from the route and directly led Shen Ya to the location where the cold branch grass grew.

Cold-branched grass is cold in nature and only grows in relatively cold environments.

Seeing a waterfall in the distance, Qian Xiyu asked everyone to fall down and approach carefully.

The place looked very dangerous, and Shen Ya didn't want to go there at all.

Unexpectedly, Qian Xiyu insisted on taking Shen Ya with him.

[Yaya, be careful. These people might use you as a human shield.]

The system reminded again.

【I will be careful.】

Shen Ya couldn't refuse and could only follow Qian Xiyu to the waterfall. She had to be careful of him stabbing her in the back along the way.

The waterfall is in a shady spot.

There was clearly no ice, and for some unknown reason, the colder it became the closer I got.

It was so cold that Shen Ya was shivering. "Brother Qian, why is it so cold here?"

"It should be because of the cold branches. Cold branches like cold places, and when they grow to a certain size, they will react to the environment. The cold branches here don't seem to be ordinary cold branches. They are quite old."

Realizing that this time's Han Zhi was not an ordinary Han Zhi, Qian Xiyu was extremely excited and explained it to Shen Ya.

He didn't even look at Shen Ya, as if he had made up his mind to use Shen Ya as a shield.

Waterfalls splashed down from above, and the air was filled with mist.

But there was no sunlight inside, and it was damp and cold, making it seem even more gloomy.

Qian Xiyu grabbed Shen Ya and made a gesture to his fellow apprentice beside him.

The junior brother walked out hesitantly and approached the waterfall quietly.

It was unknown whether the guardian beast had gone out or was hiding in some corner that they could not see. Shen Ya did not see where the guardian beast was, nor did he see where Han Zhi was.

The junior brother approached the waterfall carefully, trying to find the location of Hanzhi.

Perhaps because of the guardian beast, no sound could be heard around, only the sound of splashing waterfalls.

The junior brother walked to the bottom of the waterfall without being attacked.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that the guardian beast must have gone out.

"Third Brother, come here, it seems..."

Before he finished his words, a huge black shadow appeared and enveloped the man.

The man was swallowed by the snake before he could even react.
