Hearing Qin Li say this, Jun Lin was somewhat surprised. This kid actually came from the Central Region.

No wonder he looks so young but is so strong.

People from the Central Region are indeed much more talented than people from remote areas like the Eastern Region.

Perhaps in the Central Region, the Ninth Grade Dao Foundation is just the basics?

"You don't want to? But with your cultivation levels, staying here will easily put you in danger." Qin Li, seeing that Jun Lin remained silent, assumed that Jun Lin was unwilling to go to the Central Region and couldn't help but persuade him.

But Junlin shook his head and said, "I'm not going."

We haven't yet searched for the second ancient demon in the Eastern Region, nor have we explored the Western Buddha Kingdom, the Northern Sea, and the Southern Frontier.

Going to the Central Region so early is completely unnecessary.

Seeing Jun Lin's decisive refusal, Qin Li was somewhat puzzled: "Why? If you come with me to the Central Region, you won't need to run around and hide from righteous cultivators every day anymore."

Jun Lin curled his lip. "You make it sound so easy. Do you think you're the boss in your family? We're demonic cultivators. Are you sure you can protect us?"

"I..." Qin Li was speechless for a moment, because he felt that Jun Lin's words made no mistake at all.

Putting everything else aside, he's really not good at making decisions for the family!

Moreover, if his elders really wanted to kill Junlin, he wouldn't be able to stop them.

After figuring this out, Qin Li said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I was just being presumptuous."

He felt like he had apologized many times today.

Seeing this, Junlin was speechless.

Although Qin Li's apologies were always very sincere, the number of apologies was excessive and somewhat worthless.

He's clearly a pampered young master from a wealthy family, not very mature in his thinking, and in short, quite easy to fool.

Junlin was afraid that spending too much time with Qin Li would cause his brain to deteriorate.

He simply waved his hand and said, "Alright, I forgive you. We'll be going now if there's nothing else."

As he spoke, he took Lan Xier's little hand and walked away into the distance.

Seeing this, Qin Li quickly followed, "Hey, wait for me! It's too dangerous for you two to travel like this."

Seeing Qin Li following behind, Jun Lin said helplessly, "Big brother, don't you have anything to do yourself?"

Qin Li immediately shook her head. "No."

"Then you can go find something to do."

“I have nothing to do, and by following you, I can protect you.”

Qin Li spoke very seriously and sincerely, leaving Jun Lin at a loss for words.

So you really don't understand what he means?

So, King Lin used the same trick again, "You know, I lost my parents when I was young, and I have been betrayed hundreds of times, so I don't trust anyone except my sister."

Jun Lin held Lan Xi'er in his arms, his gaze towards Qin Li filled with distance and distrust.

Qin Li felt a pang of anxiety, but not because of Jun Lin's distrust.

It was because of what Junlin said.

King's Landing looks no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, yet it has already suffered hundreds of betrayals.

It's easy to imagine how arduous the journey has been.

Therefore, it's normal not to trust him.

Moreover, it is precisely because of this wary nature that King's Landing is able to protect himself and his sister.

Feeling that she had figured everything out, Qin Li immediately said sincerely, "Don't worry, I'm different from the people you've met before. I won't do anything to betray you!"

"..."

Oh no, this kid doesn't seem very bright!

Junlin couldn't help but think to himself, "How can you believe the same tricks every time and fall for them every time?"

Seeing Jun Lin's speechless expression, Lan Xi'er stepped forward and pointed at Qin Li, saying, "Can't you understand human language? What I mean is that you shouldn't follow us anymore. We don't trust you, and we don't need your protection!"

Jun Lin silently gave Lan Xi'er a thumbs up in his heart.

As expected, one still has to be blunt. Even if he had made it clear, Qin Li still wouldn't have understood. It's true that one shouldn't be a riddle teller.

Upon hearing Lan Xier's words, Qin Li was initially taken aback and felt somewhat aggrieved. However, upon seeing Lan Xier, who was constantly clinging to Jun Lin's side, he immediately understood everything.

She quickly explained, "Don't worry, I won't take your brother away."

Junlin, Lan Xier: "Huh?"

Junlin and Lan Xier were both stunned.

Upon seeing this, Qin Li immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing.

She hurriedly explained, "No, don't misunderstand, I meant I like your brother, oops, no... I meant I wouldn't compete with you for him, oh wait, no... Ah! What am I saying!"

Qin Li felt for a moment that he couldn't explain himself clearly; he didn't even know what nonsense he had just been rambling on about.

Junlin and Lan Xier exchanged a glance.

Lan Xi'er hesitated for a moment, then pointed to her head and said, "Brother, there seems to be something wrong with this person."

“That’s right, he’s a pitiful child, let’s not bully him.” Junlin nodded in agreement, then said, “Well, we won’t chase you away, you can come along if you want.”

Upon hearing Jun Lin's words, Qin Li immediately returned to normal, "Okay."

Hmph!

He said that the brother and sister were obviously naive and inexperienced in the ways of the world. Although they appeared to be demonic cultivators, they were kind-hearted.

So he only needed to use a little trick to successfully follow the brother and sister and protect them!

Yes, that was all part of his plan; it wasn't a momentary lapse of judgment that caused him to ramble on.

Qin Li's sudden change made Jun Lin sigh and rub his forehead.

How can there be people in this world who are so happy to go to great lengths to become someone else's bodyguard?

For them, Qin Li following them wouldn't actually do them any harm.

However, for the next period of time, he will be traveling the world under the guise of misfortune.

To be honest, I'm not used to it.

I should have used the name Luo Jie back then. Not only would it have been easier to use, but it would have also helped to build Luo Jie's reputation.

Qin Li stepped forward, asking with great interest, "Where are we going next?"

Jun Lin glanced at Qin Li, but did not reply immediately. Instead, he asked the system in his mind about the location of another ancient demon seal.

[A mountain range of flames on the eastern border, not far from the southern frontier]

As the system spoke, it marked the target location for Junlin.

Junlin glanced at the location marked, which was due south of his position.

Is it far? It's a bit far!

Because his mother's Chixiao Empire is located in the northern part of the Eastern Region.

In other words... he has to go back!

Then you have to cross the Azure Phoenix Empire to find the Flaming Mountains that seal away the brothers or sisters of Calamity.

Junlin rubbed his temples; now he had no choice but to take it slowly.

Seeing this, Qin Li asked curiously, "What's wrong? Haven't decided where to go yet?"

Jun Lin glanced at Qin Li, "I want to go home."

Qin Li: "Huh?"
