That person must be the old crone, Xiuxiu, from before. The other two are clearly outsiders, Wen Zhixing thought, his mind extraordinarily nimble as his gaze flickered forward. This ans Murong Fenghua is likely looking for because of these two...
In just an instant, he sensed sothing from Murong Fenghua’s agitated expression. With his comprehension enhanced, his mind was indeed exceptionally sharp.
The next mont, Wen Zhixing suddenly considered a possibility. Wait! Could Murong Fenghua be planning to use as a human shield?
His eyes narrowed slightly. It’s entirely possible. Just now, Murong Fenghua looked at as if she’d seen a savior. The likelihood of being used as a human shield is extrely high.
Acting as a human shield is a surefire way to offend people, Wen Zhixing thought, frowning inwardly. He had no wish to antagonize others. This was the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land, after all. Everyone here either possessed a prominent identity or exceptional talent. Currently, Wen Zhixing couldn’t afford to provoke most of them.
Is it because of him? Wen Zhixing thought, subtly raising his head again to cast an unobtrusive glance at Li Juncheng. He was the only other man present. It’s most likely him.
Li Juncheng wore a crescent-white robe adorned with Gold Thread Dragon Patterns. Its cuffs and collar were made of exquisite cloud brocade. He had handso features and an ethereal presence. Even standing modestly behind Qinglian Fairy, he exuded the proud deanor of a nobleman—neither servile nor arrogant. Even Wen Zhixing couldn’t help but admire him after a single glance. Worthy of being a disciple of the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land. Truly extraordinary.
Li Juncheng seed to sense Wen Zhixing’s gaze and politely smiled back, his deanor appearing even more exceptional.
Such bearing... he must be a scion of so major power, Wen Zhixing mused.
Wen Zhixing had indeed guessed most of it correctly. Murong Fenghua did intend to use him as a human shield. This wasn’t a deliberate act to target Wen Zhixing, but rather stemd from the inexplicable connection between them; she instinctively wanted to rely on him.
However, Wen Zhixing would never have imagined that his guess about *who* she needed a shield against was wrong. The key person this ti wasn’t Li Juncheng, but Qinglian Fairy, who was clinging to Murong Fenghua’s side.
Wen Zhixing was a normal person; such a thought wouldn’t occur to him. After all, girls tend to do everything together, even going to the restroom. Murong Fenghua and Qinglian Fairy being so close and affectionate doesn’t seem strange at all.
Naturally, Wen Zhixing began to ponder how to deal with Li Juncheng...
"Fenghua, this person is...?" Qinglian Fairy’s elegant brows furrowed slightly as she looked at Wen Zhixing, who had suddenly appeared. How could a man be in Murong Fenghua’s residence?
"He is my good friend, Wen Zhixing." A sincere smile finally appeared on Murong Fenghua’s usually reserved face. As she spoke, she waved her small hand at Wen Zhixing, who wasn’t far off. The joy in her eyes was unmistakable.
"Oh, a good friend?" Hearing these words, Qinglian Fairy tensed slightly. This is the first ti I’ve heard Fenghua ntion a male friend. Her previously sowhat hazy eyes suddenly sharpened. Sa-sex friends, I can accept. But a male friend? Our relationship ends here.
"Yes, Mr. Wen is soone I befriended in Youzhou. He accompanied to Zhongzhou this ti," Murong Fenghua nodded, her expression growing even warr. Inside, however, she was anxious. Wen Zhixing, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and co over!
However, the more enthusiastic Murong Fenghua acted, the more alard Wen Zhixing beca. He didn’t dare take a step forward.
"A friend from Youzhou?" Qinglian Fairy also offered a warm smile, but her gaze fixed on Wen Zhixing and didn’t waver. You little rascal... trying to poach Fenghua from , are you?
Wen Zhixing hadn’t paid much attention to Qinglian Fairy before this. Suddenly, his body instinctively recoiled, as if sensing danger.
"Hm?" Wen Zhixing looked up and t Qinglian Fairy’s piercing gaze.
[Warning: Danger.]
[This person is looking at you with disgust. Do not approach!]
[Danger! This person harbors murderous intent toward you!]
[Run!]
Even without these panel prompts, Wen Zhixing had already sensed sothing was wrong. He had been wary of Li Juncheng the whole ti. So, what’s with this Female Cultivator now?
"Huh?" Wen Zhixing was puzzled.
Seeing Wen Zhixing actually dare to et her gaze, Qinglian Fairy’s eyes narrowed. Challenging ? If Murong Fenghua weren’t here, I’d kill him without a second thought. I’ll slaughter you.
[Danger!]
[Danger!]
[Danger!]
Wen Zhixing’s heart trembled. Is this woman insane? Does she really want to kill ? Why would Qinglian Fairy want to kill the mont she sees ? What happened? Isn’t this the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land, a place for cultivation? Why are the people here so aggressive, wanting to kill soone after just one look? Good grief! Even the people from Wonderous Palace are more pleasant than her.
Could it be that she’s on Li Juncheng’s side, and that’s why she’s hostile towards ...? Wen Zhixing’s mind raced again. No, that doesn’t seem quite right. Sothing is still odd.
"Wen... Mr. Wen, why aren’t you coming over yet?" Murong Fenghua called out again when she saw Wen Zhixing still standing rooted to the spot.
