Chapter 76: You are so spineless!
As soon as Qiu Yu opened her mouth, the expressions on Xiao Chi and Xie Mingzhu's faces froze.
Xie Mingzhu was fine. She had been hiding behind Xiao Chi, and all the changes in her expression were blocked by Xiao Chi.
On the contrary, it was Xiao Chi's momentary surprise that made Xie Liuyin want to laugh.
"Senior Sister Qiu Yu, what do you mean? Even if Xie Liuyin has become Grandmaster Xianyue's disciple, there is no need for you to make up such a lie just to flatter her!" But the surprise only lasted for a moment, and Xiao Chi quickly found an excuse for himself.
He didn't believe that Xie Liuyin could kill such a powerful monster. Although it was just a glimpse, Xiao Chi was scared and ran away quickly.
But he still saw clearly that the monster was at least in the late foundation building stage.
Although Xie Liuyin had experience in killing Foundation Establishment stage monsters before, there were several small realms between the early and late stages, and they could not be confused at all!
The more Xiao Chi thought about it, the more he felt that he was right. He turned to look at Jiang Shan and asked, "Brother Jiang Shan, you are not as spineless as Sister Qiu Yu and insist on giving up your own credit, right?"
His tone was extremely sarcastic, and Qiu Yu and Jiang Shan were both furious.
Jiang Shan sneered, "Interesting. If we tell the truth, we are spineless. But when you two encounter danger and abandon your fellow disciples without asking any questions, you are spineless?"
On the way back to find them, Jiang Shan had already found out how Qiu Yu had provoked the monster.
It was learned that Qiu Yu had a bad premonition at first and did not want to take the risk of entering the cave, but was forced to go in by these two people.
As a result, when they encountered danger, they immediately ran away. Jiang Shan was already very dissatisfied with Xiao Chi and Xie Mingzhu.
He hadn't even had the chance to teach them a lesson, but unexpectedly, these two people started to attack Xie Liuyin first.
So Jiang Shan opened his mouth without giving them face: "Xie Mingzhu, let me ask you, did you insist on entering that cave? Qiu Yu tried to stop you several times, but you mocked her for being timid?"
"No, Senior Brother Jiang Shan, don't misunderstand me, that's not what I meant. Senior Sister Qiu Yu blames me for not knowing how to speak, and that's why you're sad. I apologize, but you can't slander me like this." Xie Mingzhu's tears fell like pearls from a broken string, looking very adorable.
Xiao Chi couldn't stand it after just one look: "Don't force Mingzhu, I insisted on going into the cave, come to me if you have anything to say!"
"Senior Sister Qiu Yu, I know you have never liked Mingzhu, but I didn't expect you to make up lies in front of Senior Brother Jiang Shan. There is a monster hidden in that cave, Mingzhu didn't know about it before, she just wanted to help us find an opportunity."
"Besides, Mingzhu was not wrong. There are indeed valuable things like the Rotten Bone Stone Orchid in there. If you were not so incompetent and did not kill the monsters immediately, those Rotten Bone Stone Orchids would be ours!"
As he spoke, Xiao Chi began to blame all the sins on Qiu Yu.
Hearing this, Xie Liuyin couldn't help but applaud him: "You are really thick-skinned enough to be able to confuse right and wrong to this extent."
"What does what happens in our team have to do with you? Don't think I don't know that you have loved bullying Mingzhu since you were a child. This time, Senior Sister Qiu Yu and the others suddenly slandered Mingzhu, it must have something to do with you!" Xiao Chi said angrily.
He looked like he was going to go against the whole world for Xie Mingzhu, which made Xie Liuyin laugh.
She said cheerfully, "It's up to you to think whatever you want. Anyway, there are so many eyes watching you two abandon your fellow disciples and run away. When we return to Qingxiao Sect, I will definitely help you spread the word."
Xie Liuyin would not get angry because of Xiao Chi's words. After all, it was them who made the mistake, not him.
"You!" Xiao Chi was furious, clenching his fists as if he wanted to hit Xie Liuyin.
Xie Liuyin's hand holding the hilt of the sword was ready, just waiting for Xiao Chi to swing his fist. The next second, she would cut the other party's tendons with a sword just like she did to the former flower-guarding messenger Feng Yelei.
However, at the critical moment, Xie Mingzhu stopped Xiao Chi and begged in a low voice: "Don't do this, she is my sister after all, don't hurt her."
Xie Liuyin rolled his eyes on the spot. If a real fight broke out, it would be unclear who would let whom go.
"Hmph." Xiao Chi looked contemptuous. "For Mingzhu's sake, I will let you go today. If you dare to target Mingzhu again in the future, I will definitely not let you off. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have the support of your great-grandmaster!"
After saying those harsh words, Xiao Chi looked at Qiu Yu again: "Since the monster has been killed, let's leave here quickly. If we hang out with some people with bad morals, it might affect our luck."
"Who said we're leaving here?" Qiu Yu frowned.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chi immediately said in dissatisfaction: "What else can we do if we don't leave? The bone-rotting stone orchid in the cave was destroyed by the people in that team. We won't get anything good if we stay here."
Qiu Yu didn't even look at Xiao Chi: "Tong Wenkang is so badly injured that he still needs to recuperate. It's getting late, so we need to find a safe camp to rest. It will be very dangerous to wander around in the secret realm so late at night."
Tong Wenkang lost an arm and lost so much blood before, so he is still in a coma.
Besides... Qiu Yu's eyelashes trembled. After experiencing this incident, she really didn't dare to leave with these fellow disciples again, because she was afraid that she would be tricked to death by them.
Xiao Chi was not satisfied with this answer. Now everyone seemed to him to be in cahoots with Xie Liuyin.
He was worried that if they continued to stay here, Xie Liuyin would target Mingzhu even more harshly.
But just as Xiao Chi was about to speak, Xie Mingzhu pulled his sleeve and whispered, "Forget it, let's just listen to Senior Sister Qiu Yu. Besides, after dark, the secret realm is indeed not very safe."
"Hey, Mingzhu, you are always so considerate. Then we will listen to you and stay here for the time being. But don't worry, after Senior Brother Tong has had a good rest, we will definitely separate from Xie Liuyin and the others as soon as possible." Xiao Chi promised seriously.
Xie Mingzhu smiled at him gently, with a look of trust.
Seeing this, Xiao Chi became more and more moved, and couldn't help but want to present the best to Xie Mingzhu.
Seeing that they had no intention of leaving, Xie Liuyin was too lazy to pay attention to them anymore and turned around to help Jiang Shan and the others set up the formation.
Jiang Shan and other Foundation Establishment cultivators have already been exposed to formations and have also learned a few simpler defensive formations.
And for safety reasons, their master also gave them several array plates. This thing is like a talisman, you only need to use spiritual power to activate it, and the array will naturally take shape.
Before, the safety of Xie Liuyin and the other two was unknown, and Le Yu, the only one who could move at the scene, had no intention of setting up the formation. Now that everyone is back safely, they just set up the camp.
After the formation was formed, invisible barriers quickly rose up around it, protecting the ten people inside.
Seeing that the surroundings were already shrouded in darkness, several monks found a place to sit down and rest.
Qiu Yu and the other two who had been injured earlier were rushing to recover their spiritual power, so that they would not be unable to resist when they encountered danger again tomorrow.
Xie Mingzhu, who was warmly settled by Xiao Chi, quietly glanced at the crowd and realized that no one was paying attention to her. Then she quietly wrote something on her musical ruler and quickly sent it out.
In a valley a little far from here, the black-clothed young man's measuring stick immediately vibrated.
