After a moment of staring within the bonfire that was in front of him, Yan Xu sensed that something was left in his mind.
When he thought about it again, instantly his head felt like it was being hit hard with a very blunt side of the hammer.
'— Aiya! Right too, the two of them have not been part of the Peak Wind and I have already taken out some of my secrets!'
He glanced towards the two girls who were beside him a few times while thinking of a sentence that would conceal his true intentions. During this time he had been close enough to them, the two girls had also gotten closer to each other. So, he thought that there was no harm in trying.
Yan Xu opened his mouth and let out a warm tone, "Can you guys stop for a moment and listen to what I want to say?"
The two girls who were joking with each other immediately became silent. The attention of the two pairs of beautiful eyes was fixed on the handsome man with the aura of immortality that was in the middle.
Wang Jia Li blinked his eyes then said, "What's the matter, Senior?"
Although Xiu Ruolan was still silent, her gaze also questioned Yan Xu's words.
"Actually ... I .. have a request to both of you."
Xiu Ruolan scrunched her forehead, but she still silently listened.
Meanwhile, Wang Jia Li immediately gained a new spirit. He looked at Yan Xu with his sparkling and intense eyes as he said, "Please, Senior Brother! When necessary, Jia Li would sacrifice her life to repay Senior Brother Yan Xu's kindness over this life."
Yan Xu scratched his cheek and said, "Our situation is a bit complicated due to the sudden presence of Xiu Ruolan and the moment of being cooped up inside the barrier wall with this advanced space law."
"Maybe you guys aren't aware yet, but actually the laws of space that locked me up before Junior Brother Jia Li came were not this strong, either, it was even so much weaker that I could make a gap on Junior Brother Jia Li's arrival."
"However, after Elder Fan Jiaodao as the user of his artifact died, this barrier wall began to lose control and the laws of space that locked us down also grew stronger. At this moment, we are completely isolated from the outside world, so the pure qi energy of nature cannot reach this place."
"Because of that as well, I can't gather qi energy on my body and can only rely on the protection of the two of you."
Yan Xu lowered his head and continued, "Sorry, I know this is not the behavior that a man should be doing. However, I am completely helpless that it should trouble you two."
Wang Jia Li immediately waved his hand forward as he said, "What did Senior Brother say? Senior Brother had already protected me earlier, it was natural for Jia Li to do otherwise," a warm smile appeared on his fairy face, he felt glad to be relied upon by Senior Brother Yan Xu at this time.
Xiu Ruolan also nodded in agreement, raised his slender fist and said, "You can be sure if there are two of us protecting you, no one will be able to bully you!"
Wang Jia Li silently gave his thumbs up to Xiu Ruolan, and vice versa. Somehow Yan Xu felt this closeness of theirs could no longer be called a new acquaintance. He felt a little relieved that those who were like water and oil could finally get along well.
Yan Xu raised his head slightly, his warm smile still continuing. His eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "The other big problem is that the elders from the sect will ask about all the events that happen when we go home later."
"I don't want to get involved in such a troublesome situation because the elders of the sect will ferociously suspect someone who is only a fifth stage gold core, will be involved a lot in this unexpected event."
"In addition to them being suspicious, the chances that they will use soul-reading techniques and investigate my memories are not small if you tell me the whole story."
Wang Jia Li's eyes flickered a few times, his brows that had already dropped sharply asked, "Isn't that soul-reading and memory-researching technique a technique that will affect the soul also hurting its target? Is it possible that the elders would do such a fleeting and taboo thing?!"
Exploring the soul of a cultivator will have a very heavy impact on the talent and life of the cultivator. If done wrongly, it was likely that the cultivator would die from the pain and injuries to his soul.
That's why in this world, it's not allowed to do that. Whoever violates it, if caught by the other party he will soon be severely punished.
Before Yan Xu replied, Xiu Ruolan immediately chimed in, "Sister Jia Li, learn from the experience you just experienced. In fact, the people closest to you can't be trusted at times, let alone a bunch of old bones that have lived a long time!"
"Who do you think is important? Breaking the taboo on one disciple to protect the entire sect, or allowing suspicion on one disciple that turned out to be potentially to destroy the sect in the future."
"Correct sect? Demon sect? Evil sect? —Ptooey! Everything is the same, for the sake of sect as well as personal, no one will not hesitate to dirty his heart or his hands!"
Wang Jia Li nodded with a serious expression on his peri face, "The words from Sister Ruolan are indeed true."
He cupped his hands together and continued, "Listening to Sister Ruolan's opinion is indeed better than reading for ten years, Jia Li's insights have become better than ever!"
Xiu Ruolan immediately waved his hand timidly towards Wang Jia Li while saying, "No, no. It was Sister Jia Li's consciousness that was so good and quickly understood my words."
A faint smile appeared on Wang Jia Li's face, "Ruolan's sister flattered me too much."
"No, no. It's obviously you who's too flattering of me."
Yan Xu who was in the middle raised one of his eyebrows. The more he listened to their words, the more he felt the strangeness of each compliment. However, he immediately erased the thought then continued with a throbbing once.
"Gahm!"
The two girls who were complimenting each other and humbling were instantly silent, rushing to pay attention to what Yan Xu said next.
"Next, you Little Ancestor." Yan Xu stared sinisterly at Xiu Ruolan.
"Yes!" For some reason, Xiu Ruolan had a serious expression and replied in a high voice.
"When asked why you're here, hmm .. let's see ..." Yan Xu stroked his chin while thinking hard.
