Is the wolf in sheep's clothing trustworthy?
Of course not! He must have set up all sorts of traps and assassins to silence them all.
There were only three choices in Yan Xu's mind.
First, instantly kill the wolf in sheep's clothing but his scheming will be a secret for good.
Second, follow the groove and blur.
Third, it moves like the wind, following the direction of the wind without being noticed.
Which meant, he had to be neutral and put his interests first in the expedition to look for medicinal ingredients. After he was done, he only stayed to see the other party's actions or to slightly help the poor sheep in secret.
If it was Yan Xu who was still weak back then, he would obviously choose the second option without having to think long.
The thought of Yan Xu balking at letting go of the opportunity to search for medicinal ingredients for the sake of survival as well as his success in the face of the heavenly tribulation lightning flashed very clearly.
So, for a while he would compromise and when there was a chance, he would clean up the dirt that was bothering him first.
...
Half a day passed.
The sun setting in the west indicates that night is coming.
Sitting on a large gourd measuring over 150 feet, surrounded by various kinds of aura and smelling a pretty strong wine smell, Yan Xu strengthened his understanding of the technique of hiding his cultivation level and was always on standby.
The others were sitting cross-legged and still meditating.
Su Yueyin's eyes were half open. He lay in front and let the night wind ruffle his long black hair. Sometimes he looks stiff, there is also when he looks like an innocent child like now.
Sometimes Yan Xu saw his old self in Su Yueyin, not about attitude but about suppressing emotions and brutally releasing them.
Most people said that Su Yueyin's cultivation path was good, but only she and Yan Xu understood that the suppression in emotions was an excruciating thing. Not everyone thought so because every cultivator always wished that they would not be carried away due to a long life.
A wine gourd suddenly appeared before Yan Xu's eyes. He shook his head with a flat expression and said, "Thank you for the offer, Aunt Yueyin. Students don't like wine."
Su Yueyin sighed in disappointment and tightly sealed her wine gourd bottle. He turned to the side, gently swinging his slender legs a sign of boredom.
As he felt the sensation of the night breeze being so quiet, he restarted their conversation.
"Yan Xu, do you know about the cultivation path that suppresses the emotions of a cultivator?"
Yan Xu halted his activities and replied, "Yes, a little."
"What do you think of that?"
"Pathetic."
Su Yueyin turned towards Yan Xu, her beautiful black eyes flashing a few times.
"I was surprised, the teacher and the student had the same thought."
Yan Xu was astonished by Su Yueyin's words just now but he immediately changed his expression then said, "It is not natural that a disciple will think the same as his teacher."
Su Yueyin nodded in agreement, "You're right." The corner of his small mouth raised slightly revealed a melancholy smile.
Su Yueyin used to have colder emotions than now, but thanks to teacher Yan Xu she was able to enjoy in pouring out her emotions even though it would sometimes explode and make her look different from an ice-hearted cultivator.
He never wanted to be such an emotionless puppet, of course he was grateful to receive help and gain enlightenment on his new cultivation path.
However, Su Yueyin was just like a child under ten when it came to the romance between a man and a woman. Knowing that, Lan Xihe often taught her various twisted doctrines about love as entertainment when bored.
Looking at Yan Xu who had the same thoughts as his teacher, made Su Yueyin recall the teachings and chuckled amusedly in her heart as she was now more mature and insightful.
Su Yueyin sighed and a curious feeling surfaced in her mind. "Yan Xu, since the last time we met your cultivation base has remained the same as it is now. Is there something wrong with your cultivation path?"
The time that Su Yueyin was referring to was a month ago, the last time she visited for a hangover with Lan Xihe until midnight.
Su Yueyin reached out her hand and said, "Grow your hand, let Auntie see the development of your cultivation base. Don't tell me that your cultivation hasn't increased because of the crooked doctrine that your teacher has always taught you!?"
Yan Xu immediately frowned.
'Aunt Yueyin had good intentions, but ...'
If he made contact with Yan Xu's body and examined it, the chances that he would know Yan Xu's true cultivation base were quite high even though he had already used a layered technique!
Su Yueyin had already nearly reached out to Yan Xu with her right hand. He involuntarily scratched his cheek and smiled shyly.
Yan Xu immediately frowned, "Aunt Yueyin, men and women let alone both do not have a better partner to not have physical contact with each other. The student worries that the act is inappropriate."
"Men and women should not have physical contact? Who said that? I've never heard of it!"
Su Yueyin immediately threw her cold look of disdain at Yan Xu. "The cultivators in the same generation as me pursue freedom. We all want to live our lives freely. Why should we care about customs and morals in the world?! Quick, give me your hand!!!"
Yan Xu immediately refused with a reason that suddenly appeared in his mind, "Aunt Yueyin, please don't act too freely! This disciple found himself about to be injured within the moment he came into contact with someone of the opposite sex!"
Yan Xu suddenly stood up and turned around. The two slender hand shadows that were trying to catch him, he immediately used a soul-chasing technique to switch places and left a shadow in the starting position.
Su Yueyin blinked and realized something.
'It was his master's soul-searching technique!'
"Soul pursuit technique? Not bad, Naughty Boy. I'm not denying you can master your teacher's complex techniques."
Su Yueyin chuckled amusedly looking at the same technique as Lan Xihe's as the woman beat him up when she asked to practice sparring as guidance in cultivating.
Yan Xu also chuckled amusedly and said, "This disciple has always worked hard to master everything that Master teaches. Although— what?!"
He felt a soft hug sensation.
Yan Xu looked to the side and saw a beautiful man who was hugging him. Several black lines immediately appeared on his forehead.
He traced the two arms that were hugging him and looked at the cloth in red. The owner of the cloth has a beautiful face with perfect charm when asked honestly from the point of view of the audience. His head was tilted slightly with a curious expression.
Wang Jia Li's!
'.... This disciple found himself about to be injured within the moment he came into contact with someone of the opposite sex!'
As he said that, Yan Xu had already applied a technique that would make him bleed at the corners of his mouth and nose.
Surprisingly, suddenly the technique worked as Wang Jia Li hugged him!
Blood started to come out from the nose and corners of Yan Xu's mouth. His body trembled like it felt pain. He fell head over heels into Wang Jia Li's embrace deeper because that was how it should be the person who had sustained the internal injuries.
The two female disciples who saw it closed their wide-open mouths, while the eyes of the two disciples showed all sorts of wild imaginations.
Su Yueyin who saw this seemed to add a new description to Yan Xu's quick-thinking illness in a cold and solemn voice, "It turned out that he would also get the disease when touched by a beautiful-faced man ...."
'Damn you, Wang Jia Li! Aren't you the Fifth Prince?! Where is your dignity as an imperial family, huh?!' Yan Xu cursed loudly in his heart.
