Upon hearing this, Qin Feng turned around and saw three young men and a pretty young girl walking towards him.

All three young men were at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The pretty young girl is in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

As the four approached, Qin Feng asked, "Is there something you need?"

One of the round-faced men smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, we see you're alone and are considering inviting you to join us. Would you be interested?"

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. There was no need for him, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, to accompany three peak Foundation Establishment cultivators and one mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Sorry, I prefer to be alone!"

Even if the four people in front of him had no ill intentions towards him, he had no interest in traveling with them.

In his view, these people would only hold him back and be a burden.

The round-faced man looked somewhat surprised. "Aren't you going to reconsider?"

"There are Golden Core Realm demonic beasts in the Demonic Beast Forest, and there are quite a few of them."

"The chances of passing the trial are higher if you team up with others."

Qin Feng smiled and said, "No need to consider it!"

"I'm not good enough, I don't want to hold you back!"

The round-faced man opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't insist. "Alright then, good luck!"

"let's go!"

After saying that, the round-faced man and the two young men headed straight for the monster forest, while the pretty girl showed no sign of leaving.

The pretty young girl, for some reason, stared at Qin Feng with a curious expression.

The round-faced man took a few steps and stopped when he saw that the pretty girl hadn't followed. He turned around and looked at the pretty girl.

"Tianxin, why aren't you leaving?"

Upon hearing this, Tianxin looked at the round-faced man and smiled slightly. "You may go ahead. I intend to travel with this handsome fellow Daoist."

The round-faced man paused, then frowned. "You must be joking. Your chances of passing the trial by being with him are extremely slim."

“I’m here to take care of you because your parents entrusted me with this task, so I will absolutely not allow you to be willful.”

Tianxin pouted. "I'm going to be willful today!"

The round-faced man sighed helplessly. "Don't forget, the Shen family has been watching you closely!"

"If you are alone, they are very likely to attack you at any time!"

Tianxin scoffed. "This is the territory of the Northern Underworld Immortal Sect. Do you think the Shen family would dare to touch me?"

"Du Lei, thank you for your concern, but I really don't want to travel with you anymore!"

"Please don't force me, you can't force me!"

Du Lei hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly. "Alright then, be careful!"

"If you encounter an insurmountable danger, crush the teleportation talisman immediately."

Du Lei didn't say much, and turned to leave immediately after finishing his sentence.

After watching Du Lei and the other two walk away, Qin Feng looked back at the dozen or so people not far away, and then looked at Tian Xin with a speechless expression.

"Those people behind you are after you, aren't they?"

"Aren't you obviously trying to harm me?"

"We've never met before, why are you trying to harm me?"

Tianxin blinked and smiled faintly. "Have you ever heard of a girl's sixth sense?"

"My sixth sense tells me that staying by your side guarantees I'll pass the trial!"

"With Du Lei and the other two, my chances of passing the trial are very low."

"As for those people behind you, you don't need to worry about them. This is the territory of the Beiming Immortal Sect, and they won't dare to cause trouble."

Qin Feng sighed helplessly. "You're too naive!"

"The purpose of the trial is to select the elite; to put it bluntly, it's to make us fight each other."

"Only in this way can we select the true elites!"

"You don't actually think the trials are mainly about facing those monsters, do you?"

Tianxin pouted. "I don't care, I'm going to follow you!"

Qin Feng smiled helplessly, clearly seeing that this little girl was determined to follow him.

He simply stopped talking and started walking towards the monster forest.

Let's just go along!

If those people really make a move against Tianxin, he can just stand by and watch.

He wouldn't cause trouble for someone he has no connection with.

Tianxin glanced back at the dozen or so people, then quickly followed Qin Feng.

The dozen or so people behind them were all from the Shen family, and were sworn enemies of the Tian family.

The two sides have long been locked in a life-or-death struggle, having fought for hundreds of years.

She was certain that these people were likely to attack her in the monster forest.

That's why she abandoned Du Lei and the other two and followed Qin Feng.

Just as she said, her sixth sense told her that staying by Qin Feng's side would allow her to safely pass the trials.

As long as she passes the trial, the Shen family will not dare to lay a hand on her again.

Upon entering the monster forest, Qin Feng glanced back at the dozen or so flies following behind him, then sprinted forward.

Tianxin was stunned for a moment, then snorted softly. "Don't even think about asking me for a favor!"

Tianxin immediately gave chase, and she was even faster than Qin Feng, catching up quickly.

The Shen family members caught up immediately.

Qin Feng looked at Tian Xin speechlessly. "Are you determined to harm me?"

"Believe it or not, I'll team up with them and take you down?"

Tianxin's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. "I believe you're not that kind of person!"

Qin Feng's face darkened. "Could it be your sixth sense telling you again?"

Tianxin nodded. "Yes!"

Qin Feng was utterly speechless. This was a world of cultivators, and yet there were girls who believed in this sixth sense?

He glanced back at the Shen family members who had caught up with him, and then said nothing more.

Those members of the Shen family were much slower than him and Tianxin, and they would be able to get rid of them soon.

Without any unexpected incidents, Qin Feng and Tian Xin successfully escaped from the Shen family members.

Qin Feng stopped, looked around, and then walked to the left.

The aura of the demonic beasts is weaker in this direction, so it's safer to go this way, and it will also help us shake off the Shen family's pursuit.

Tianxin quickly followed, saying gratefully, "Thank you for not kicking me out!"

Qin Feng said speechlessly, "It's not that I don't want to send you away, but our cultivation levels are similar, and I don't want to waste my spiritual energy on you."

Tianxin stared at Qin Feng for a while, then smiled faintly. "Big brother, don't try to fool me!"

"My sixth sense tells me that your strength is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface."

Qin Feng's face immediately darkened. It was that damned sixth sense again!

But it's actually quite accurate!

Although he was only in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, he possessed combat power comparable to that of the early to mid-Golden Core stage.

There are few monsters or people in this dense forest of monsters that can threaten him.

However, he didn't want to be too high-profile; he just wanted to keep a low profile.

But with this little girl by his side, can he keep a low profile forever?

Tianxin changed the subject. "Big brother, what's your name?"

Qin Feng ignored Tian Xin and quickened his pace.
