Su Xiaoyu thought this in her heart, but she wouldn't say it out loud.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to just admit to Ling Luo in front of her that he deliberately provoked her?
She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ling. We've been keeping an eye on the surrounding area and haven't found any strange beasts, which is why we dare to speak like this."
Then, she "kindly" added, "Also, if you're tired, go back to your tent to rest. You can leave things here to me and your senior."
The beasts were getting closer and closer to them, and their speed was increasing, yet they still hadn't noticed their presence. How could she be at ease?
Ling Luo frowned, but before she could speak, Su Xiaoyu asked Xu Sangyi, "Senior, why did you become a pharmacist? I see you have a lot of talent in mecha manufacturing too."
Xu Sangyi lowered her head, her voice tinged with sadness: "Because I wanted to save my grandfather."
"Your grandfather? Could it be that your grandfather, like His Highness the Crown Prince, was also poisoned by a strange poison?"
"No, that's not it. My grandfather's illness is related to mental turmoil. He has been experiencing mental turmoil symptoms for over ten years, and it has never been able to improve."
"As we all know, mental disturbances are incurable, only their symptoms can be alleviated. But none of the mental purification drugs on the market are working for my grandfather anymore..."
"So starting last year, my grandfather was no longer able to cultivate and began to age rapidly. He originally had more than three hundred years to live, but now he only has two or three years left."
"Oh, I see."
Ling Luo listened and paused for a moment.
When she left the desolate planet, the purification pills she refined could alleviate the symptoms of mental energy turmoil, but they could not completely purify it.
But now that she has reached the Foundation Establishment stage, things are different.
Just as she was thinking this, Xu Sangyi's expression suddenly changed.
She is now a level 2, 2-star martial artist, and her mental power detection range is much wider than that of Xia Lin and Su Xiaoyu.
Upon detecting a strange beast approaching them, she immediately stopped, extinguished the firewood, and told Su Xiaoyu, "A strange beast is coming!"
As soon as Su Xiaoyu said that she had not detected the presence of any strange beasts, some of them immediately came towards them.
She immediately felt that she had lost face in front of Ling Luo, and her face fell.
However, she then realized that Ling Luo hadn't specifically warned them because he had noticed the presence of the strange beast.
She was insecure, which is why she deliberately used that excuse to interrupt their conversation.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaoyu snorted inwardly: This good-for-nothing is really lucky!
Ling Luo had no interest in caring about Su Xiaoyu.
She sensed that there were at least ten strange beasts heading their way, and all of them were at least level one, six stars or higher.
There was even a level-two alien beast.
Xia Lin and the others fought against a level-two alien beast today, and their internal energy has not yet recovered. She does not plan to wake them up, but wants to handle it herself.
Even if she had to handle it herself, Ling Luo was naturally not flustered.
After all, she could handle not just ten or so, but even a hundred.
Just then, Xu Sangyi said to Su Xiaoyu, "There are five or six level one, seven or eight star alien beasts rushing towards us. With the three of us, there's no way we can defeat them. Go and wake up your teammates!"
Level 1, seven or eight-star exotic beasts, and five or six of them came at once?!
Su Xiaoyu's legs went weak, and she couldn't remember anything about provoking Ling Luo.
She immediately shouted, "A strange beast is coming! Everyone get up!"
These words not only woke everyone up, but also caused more and more strange beasts to gather in their direction.
Ling Luo, who originally didn't plan to wake Xia Lin and the others: "..."
Xu Sangyi was surprised that Su Xiaoyu was so easily frightened, knowing there was a strange beast, yet still screaming so loudly.
She noticed that the strange beasts were arriving at an increasingly faster pace, and she couldn't help but frown.
But it's pointless to criticize Su Xiaoyu now.
At this moment, Lin Jingxu and the others woke up and were startled by Su Xiaoyu's words, breaking out in a cold sweat. They immediately came out of the tent.
He is a level 2 three-star martial arts expert, one star higher than Xu Sangyi, and his detection range is also wider than Xu Sangyi's.
As the strange beasts approached, he detected that ten of them were heading their way.
His expression immediately changed: "How could so many strange beasts have noticed us? Or did we forget to spray some odor-eliminating potion around us?"
Xia Lin, who had also woken up, immediately said, "Senior, we have some wine."
"Then why—"
When asked about the reason, Su Xiaoyu turned pale and hid behind Xu Sangyi, not daring to make a sound.
Xu Sangyi knew why Su Xiaoyu was speaking so loudly on purpose, but she didn't stop her. Instead, she cooperated with her. So, she couldn't admit her mistake at this moment and instead focused her attention on Ling Luo.
She thought Ling Luo would definitely tell on her.
But when she looked at it like that, others misunderstood her meaning, thinking that it was Ling Luo who was behind it, which was why so many strange beasts had been attracted.
Su Xiaoyu's teammates were very annoyed to be woken up, and with so many alien beasts rushing over, they might not be able to handle it.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaoyu's teammate Liang Shanhua glared at Ling Luo and said, "You good-for-nothing, what exactly did you do? Let me tell you, if I'm forced to withdraw from the assessment tonight, I won't let you off the hook!"
Ling Luo's face suddenly darkened.
Xia Lin and the others were stunned for a moment, then immediately stepped in front of Ling Luo: "There might be a misunderstanding. Our boss would never—"
"You call a good-for-nothing your boss? You're not ashamed, I'm ashamed for you!"
