Liu Ying had heard of the name "Pei Ji".

She had long had her eyes on him. It happened that news was most easily circulated in Neon Island among all the sects. With just a little inquiry, she could learn a lot about Pei Ji.

For example, he was originally an unknown outer disciple, but he became famous in the competition and became the personal disciple of Elder Tianxian.

Another example was that he was cold and aloof, and except for Ning Ning, a fellow disciple, who was willing to take him with her, he seemed to have no other friends.

Liu Ying had a beautiful face since she was young, and she was very popular when interacting with others. No matter men or women, they would subconsciously look at her a few more times and give her a little more favor after seeing her.

This is even more true after learning the true teachings of Neon Island. There are always people who lose their sense of propriety because of her words or a look. The so-called upright gentlemen and elegant ladies are all jokes.

For almost all the Neon Island charmers, the admirers who come to them on their own initiative are cheap as grass, and Liu Ying is no exception.

She has never liked things that are too easy to get. Compared with easily teasing a playboy, she likes to watch the noble ones fall into depravity, the innocent ones get stained, and the upright talents who disdain her get deeper and deeper into trouble and become her exclusive toys.

Pei Ji is a prey that meets the standards very well.

Now that she had finally been able to get close to the Xuanxu Sect, she had suffered enough from the two fools and was determined to do everything she could to capture Pei Ji.

"Miss Liu." Ning Ning came back from exploring the way and asked her with a smile, "How was your rest?"

Liu Ying restrained her expression, pretended to be weak and supported herself on the tree trunk, and coughed very appropriately, "No problem, I will definitely not hold you back, please rest assured, Miss Ningning."

He Zhizhou was still immersed in the beautiful blue light of static electricity. Seeing her get up and leave, he sighed reluctantly. I don't know what she remembered, and she slapped her forehead as if she had a flash of inspiration: "Miss Liu, let me continue to tell you the story of atoms and electrons!"

Liu Ying: Get out! She doesn't want to listen!

"The story that Brother He told is indeed interesting."

Liu Ying laughed dryly. When facing a fool, even the excuses she made up seemed particularly careless: "But I have internal injuries. Once I think too much, it will affect my sea of ​​consciousness and cause a splitting headache. You should accumulate what you want to say first, and tell me all of it tomorrow."

He Zhizhou was probably the same as her, and he didn't understand the connection between using the brain, sea of ​​consciousness and headache. But when she said this, it seemed quite reasonable and could not be refuted, so he was very self-aware and shut up, fearing that he would make Miss Liu suffer because of his own reasons.

After saying goodbye to the fool, it was time to implement the second step of the plan.

Liu Ying was very mobile and had planned everything long ago.

She was now "weak and sick with internal injuries", which could arouse the sympathy and protective desire of others. Not only that, but she also had sufficient reasons -

"Ouch!"

The woman in the white dress let out a low cry of surprise, her feet became unstable, and she fell straight towards Pei Ji.

This was her first step to approach Pei Ji. She took advantage of her petite and weak personality and fell directly on the ground.

As everyone knows, the heroines in the storybooks can fall in various places. When climbing a mountain, going up the stairs, when it rains and the ground is slippery, even if she is walking on flat ground, she will definitely "accidentally twist her ankle" and fall into the arms of the hero.

What followed was bound to be a series of ambiguous entanglements, blushing and heartbeats. Regardless of whether the two knew each other before, their relationship would be greatly improved.

The angle at which Liu Ying fell was extremely exquisite. Even if Pei Ji did not deliberately reach out to catch her, she would have fallen right on his shoulder.

She had used this trick many times, so she had mastered it very well. Seeing the black-clothed boy next to her glance at her lightly, he moved his body.

He should have leaned sideways to catch her.

But Pei Ji just looked at her expressionlessly, and after showing a look of complete annoyance and boredom, he directly leaned back tactically and took a step back.

He took a step back.

The girl who fell straight down briefly met the eyes of the boy who avoided her, and the smooth arc of the fall outlined an incomparably beautiful line.

Until her head hit the ground, Liu Ying kept an expression of disbelief on her face, her eyes wide and round like a bowl of noodles.

This man actually dodged her arms without hesitation, leaving the beautiful girl to fall to the ground sadly.

Is she not beautiful enough, or not standing tall enough?

This is not the worst.

Pei Ji seems normal, but he is actually different from those two fools in another way -

his abnormality seems so abnormal, which shows that this man is really abnormal.

After avoiding the fallen Liu Ying, he turned a blind eye to all the tragic situations, walked around her and continued to walk forward.

Really, just like that, he walked around her and never looked back from beginning to end.

Liu Ying:...?

She had no place to vent her frustration, grievance and confusion, but she didn't know that in Pei Ji's heart, there was already a middle-aged uncle's voice laughing like a donkey.

"Hahahaha, well done Pei Xiaoji! This woman obviously wants to hook up with you, don't pay any attention to her!"

It said passionately and high-spiritedly: "Let me tell you, people are very jealous. If Ningning sees you close to her, she will definitely feel unhappy - think about how Ningning felt when you knew that she bought the night pearl for that dragon. It must be uncomfortable."

Pei Ji frowned: "That's not jealousy."

"Oh, okay, okay. It's not 'jealous'."

Chengying was weird, and every sentence was sarcastic: "It's just that I inexplicably felt a little depressed and unhappy. We both don't understand the origin of those unhappiness. It can be called the unsolved mystery in the world of immortal cultivation for thousands of years."

Pei Ji stopped talking.

He knew that the woman had evil intentions, and if Ning Ning had not insisted on keeping her, he would have taken away all the tokens from her. Not to mention letting Liu Ying fall,

he would not have felt any psychological burden even if he beat her half to death in a fight. ——For Pei Ji, most of the people around him were like steamed buns. No one would remember how many steamed buns they had eaten, and he would never care how many people were defeated by him.

And steamed buns were not divided by gender.

The steamed bun man who was left behind seemed to be helped up by Ning Ning, and he thanked her mournfully, but approached him unwillingly.

"Mr. Pei, did I, did I make you unhappy in some way?"

She stumbled as she walked, a layer of peach-colored light pink spread out at the corners of her eyes, and she looked pitiful in the true sense of the word: "If there are any places that I did not do well, I can change them. Please don't hate me, okay?"

Chengying grumbled in his heart: "Oh, no! He hates you always pestering him, you should change it."

Seeing that Pei Ji did not want to pay attention, Liu Ying said again: "I was born in poverty, I have low strength in the sect, and I have been looked down upon by others. So far, I have tried not to mention hundreds, but ninety-nine times, but to no avail... Do you, Master Pei, also think that I am a waste and look down on me?"

She put a lot of thought into these words.

Born in poverty and growing up in cold eyes is clearly a microcosm of Pei Ji's own life. Now that it is applied to her, he will definitely feel a sense of sympathy and let down his guard to comfort her.

Pei Ji didn't even look at her this time: "Hmm."

Liu Ying was confused.

What did he say?

"Hmm"??? Is this a human???

Cheng Ying, who was watching the show, was very happy: "It's okay, girl, as long as you try harder, you will succeed - success will make up for a hundred failures, hahaha."

As an excellent Mei Xiu disciple, Liu Ying has never experienced such a setback in her life.

Although there were men who sneered at her, they at least had some conscience as human beings, only Pei Ji was different.

If He Zhizhou and Xu Ye were humanoid unidentified creatures, then he was a higher-level species, a humanoid steel plate.

Don't be angry, calm down.

Pei Ji has always been alone and has never been in contact with too many women. He must be ignorant about matters between men and women. If she wanted to lure him in, hints that were too subtle would not work. She had to be more straightforward and take the initiative to express her affection.

"Mr. Pei, you don't know."

The heat was rising above the West Mountain. Liu Ying tried hard to suppress the restlessness and anger in her heart, and her eyes were filled with tears of grievance: "Ever since the incident in the ancient forest, I have admired a young swordsman from the Xuanxu Sword Sect for a long time. But he never looked at me, until this Ten Dharma Conference, I finally had the opportunity to meet him."

She said as she secretly glanced at Pei Ji, and her sight was the young man's delicate and cold profile like a jade carving.

This face was the only motivation for her to hold on. As soon as she saw it, her tone became sincere and heartfelt: "He will never know how hard I tried to find out about him. I even thought about putting myself in a box as a gift to him."

This time Pei Ji finally looked at her, and a fine crack appeared in his calm expression.

It worked!

The hint in her words couldn't be clearer. The young swordsman who had been admired for a long time was obviously Pei Ji himself. He must have understood this meaning and was moved.

Then Liu Ying heard him frown and ask, "Why do you want to give him your urn?"

Liu Ying: ...

Who is she, where is she, and what is she going to do.

How depressed she was that she wanted to get involved with this group of swordsmen.

The hot wind from the mountain made her head dazed. Liu Ying could vaguely hear Pei Ji's voice again: "Miss Li."

He said: "You music practitioners in Liuming Mountain, are you not practicing the piano, but the tongue?"

Perhaps seeing her dazed expression, he simply added: "You are very annoying, get out of the way."

Miss Li.

It took Liu Ying a long time to react. This "Miss Li" was talking about her.

- Please be a human being!!! It's been so long, I don't even remember her last name!!!

Liu Ying choked with blood in her heart and forced a smile: "Mr. Pei, my last name is Liu."

If Pei Ji was a normal person, he should have apologized with embarrassment at this time.

But he just frowned, with an expression that said "Are you sick?", and said the most unreasonable words in the most righteous tone: "What's your name? What does it have to do with me?"

Liu Ying: ...

She lost this battle. She

lost completely and wholeheartedly.

Those two idiots at least remembered her name. After spending some time with Pei Ji, Liu Ying began to miss He Zhizhou's electrons and charges. For the first time in her life, she felt that science was so beautiful and so colorful.

"Mr. Pei," she took a deep breath and made a final struggle, "Are you so tired of me?"

Pei Ji didn't say anything.

- This man was already very impatient and began to raise his hand to draw his sword!!!

"Wait, wait!"

With the sword energy surging and murderous intent everywhere, Liu Ying hurriedly took a step back: "I stayed here because Miss Ningning allowed me to stay. You, you can't hurt me!" "

Senior sister is senior sister, and I am me."

Pei Ji sneered, and the hostility in his dark eyes deepened, with a hint of contempt and ridicule: "Do I have to listen to her orders when I do things?"

She was completely speechless this time.

Staying with a fool will make you crazy, but staying with a madman will kill you!

"What's wrong?"

Fortunately, Ning Ning came to Liu Ying's side during the stalemate, and smiled at Pei Ji, who had a gloomy face: "Are you unhappy?"

Compared with Pei Ji, who was about to draw his sword and kill someone, her smile was so pure, flawless and beautiful, like a goddess descending, shining brightly.

Those stinky men are nothing.

A gentle and kind girl, is she not lovable?

Liu Ying's eyes turned red, and she hugged Ning Ning's arm, with a faint scent of tea emanating from her body: "It's okay, Master Pei is very good, it's my own fault that I made him angry..."

Ning Ning smiled softly after hearing this, and her eyes collided with Pei Ji's: "Don't always be fierce when talking to girls, be careful not to scare them, understand?"

Pei Ji turned his face away, his voice a little muffled: "... Yeah."

Liu Ying: Hehe.

Get out! That's not what you said before! If you have the guts, put on that arrogant face again and say "Senior sister is senior sister and I am me", you stinky man!

She absolutely doesn't want to stay with this man anymore.

The steel plate is not suitable for survival in the human world, please destroy it yourself, Pei Ji, thank you.

"Miss Liu, you're back!"

Seeing Liu Ying slowly moving from Pei Ji to them, He Zhizhou greeted her cheerfully: "What did you talk about with Junior Brother Pei?"

Liu Ying's mouth twitched. Liu Ying: "Let's continue to discuss positive and negative charges."

=====

"It turns out that the Sunburn Bow is locked behind that waterfall!"

The group continued to walk up from the mountainside, and while talking, they reached the top of the mountain. After listening to Qiao Yan's description of the Burning Sun Bow, He Zhizhou suddenly realized, "So there are mirror ghosts in other water bodies, but only that place is a pure land, because it is protected by the divine bow!"

Qiao Yan nodded, "There is a secret door behind the waterfall. Just put the jade pendant on the gap of the secret door to open it."

She paused after she finished speaking, letting the hot and fishy wind blow through the dense snow-white hair on her ears, and looked in the direction not far away: "Look, everyone, that cave is the habitat of the Fire Phoenix."

The higher you go, the more dull the air around you becomes.

You can still see the remains of old trees crawling on the mountainside, but here it is desolate and lifeless.

The hot air surged into visible waves, and occasionally a strong wind roared in, rolling up the reddish-brown dry soil on the ground, covering the view with a layer of blurred and dim gauze.

Looking around, there was a bit of the atmosphere of a lonely smoke in the desert. The vast sky above was clear and blue, and the azure blue was set against the scarlet everywhere, like two completely different worlds.

A cave stood high on the top of the mountain. The surrounding air was visibly distorted by the heat wave, and the floating red sand was connected into pieces, which made people feel uncomfortable both visually and tactilely.

"The fire of the Fire Phoenix is ​​different from ordinary things, please be careful."

Qiao Yan returned to the mature look she had when they first met, and said to everyone in a deep voice: "If you encounter any accidents on this trip, please escape as soon as possible... I will do my best to cover your back and protect you all."

He Zhizhou comforted her seriously: "Are we the kind of people who hide behind a little girl? Of course not! Don't worry, with our strength, there is absolutely no problem."

Qiao Yan smiled hesitantly and thanked him softly.

They discussed how to deal with the Fire Phoenix on the way here. Although they didn't come to any useful conclusions, as sword cultivators, they just need to draw their swords and that's it.

When we reached the entrance of the West Mountain Cave, the annoying heat became even hotter and hotter, and it was like a closed steamer in all directions, making it difficult for people to control their anxiety.

He Zhizhou had said those heroic words before, and now he had to do it himself and go into the cave at the front.

Unexpectedly, before he was halfway in, he suddenly heard a sharp and piercing bird cry -

then a strong wind blew up, and a wave of fire tore through the layers of darkness, roaring out from the cave and rushing straight to the entrance!

Pei Ji's expression was slightly gloomy, and he stood in front of Ning Ning in an instant, using his sword energy to resist the blazing flames; Ning Ning pulled Qiao Yan beside her and also protected the little girl behind her.

Liu Ying had never expected such a situation, and was about to dodge and escape, but she was caught off guard by Xu Ye's cry of surprise:

"Miss Liu, be careful!"

The art of Neon Island is best at hiding and stealth. The disciples on the island are all as skilled as ghosts, and she is the most outstanding one among them.

Liu Ying could have dodged without any effort, but when she heard Xu Ye's desperate roar, she knew that he was going to be a hero to save the beauty. In addition, her goal had not been achieved at this time, and she could not destroy her image of a weak little white flower. She immediately calmed down and looked up at him: "Mr. Xu, save me!"

The next thing was exactly the same as she imagined.

God can see that the plot has been broken for so long, and finally there is a little bit of normal plot in the script. Liu Ying just felt that the daughter-in-law finally became a mother-in-law, and tears flowed down her face.

Xu Ye rushed towards her with a panicked look, pulled up the girl's arm, and then spun along.

The skirt fluttered, the clothes fluttered, and when their eyes met, Liu Ying

looked pitiful and her eyes were red. The young man in front of her was determined to leave, and the moment was forever. She watched Xu Ye suddenly grit his teeth, her eyes were full of generosity and grief before his heroic sacrifice, and her eyes were red as she used her body as a shield to resolutely block the fire.

——Liu Ying was in front, and he was behind.

That pull, used her whole body as a barrier, blocking him.

Liu Ying: ...

Liu Ying: Your mother!!! You are not a human!!!

The rolling heat wave hit her face, rushing onto the broken hair on her forehead and temples. She stood firm as a human shield, and endured too much alone.

Fortunately, the Fire Phoenix lived deep in the cave, some distance from the entrance. When the raging fire reached them, it was just a very hot air wave, and soon disappeared.

Liu Ying was still in a daze, and then she heard He Zhizhou's voice, with a rather dissatisfied tone: "Xu Ye, as people who practice Taoism, how can we let Miss Liu stand in front of us? Men should stand tall and upright, look at what you are saying now!"

She was silent for a moment, her expression was as stiff as after taking too much Botox, and she looked back with a blackened face.

She saw He Zhizhou's legs soften and crawled out from behind Xu Ye.

——It turns out that Xu Ye hid behind her, and you hid behind Xu Ye! Is there any difference between the two of you! Where on earth did she get the face to teach him a lesson, where on earth did she get the face!!!

When He Zhizhou saw her, his eyes were horrified as if he had seen a ghost, and he said in a trembling voice: "Miss Liu, your hair - don't be sad when you look in the mirror later, just, just think of it as a free perm in Xishan. Trendy hairstyle, Maitreya Buddha style instant noodles, solar light bulb for forehead... this, that... It's a little unique and quite something, especially rock and roll. You can try to be the first music practitioner to play rock and roll, holding a guqin and playing randomly, you will definitely set the whole audience on fire."

Liu Ying didn't understand his nonsense, and didn't want to know what she looked like now.

In the firelight, she stood at the front like a diligent old hen in a game of eagles catching chicks.

The two chicks behind her poked their heads out and swayed left and right, like conjoined twins with low IQs.

As a Mei Xiu, she had received professional training and would not get angry easily under normal circumstances.

Unless she really couldn't help it.

Liu Ying took a deep breath.

It was her bad luck to meet these two idiots at the most beautiful age.
