Ye Feiyu and Kong Xiang exchanged a glance. Ye Feiyu pointed to the tree, and Kong Xiang nodded.
So, Ye Feiyu scrambled up the tree in a flash. From the tree, Ye Feiyu looked in the direction from which he had heard the cries for help.
A young girl in a pink dress, covered in wounds and looking disheveled, ran towards them. Closely following her was a group of men in grey robes, looking nonchalant and grinning maliciously.
“They’re from the Yin Huan Sect!” Ye Feiyu recognized the sect’s attire on the group of men at a glance.
Speaking of the Yin Huan Sect, Ye Feiyu had a deep impression of them. They committed all sorts of evil deeds, had extremely poor morals, and were a veritable cancer in the cultivation world. They often bullied the weak and plundered by force, making them unpopular with many in the cultivation world.
The Star River Sect and the Yin Illusion Sect had a history of enmity and disliked each other, the kind of sects that would fight on sight.
Now it seems most likely that the Yin Huan Sect is behind this evil deed, trying to get rid of that girl in pink.
Ye Feiyu quickly slid down from the tree, walked to Kong Xiang's side, and told him about his discovery.
Kong Xiang thought for a moment and said, "Since they are from the Yin Huan Sect, let's teach them a lesson and rescue that woman while we're at it."
"That's exactly what I was thinking too. The Yin Huan Sect is simply too much of a bully, actually targeting a weak woman!" Ye Feiyu was filled with righteous indignation, his tone full of dissatisfaction with the Yin Huan Sect.
So Ye Feiyu and Kong Xiang rushed out and blocked the path of the Yin Huan Sect disciples. At this moment, the woman in pink was also exhausted and accidentally tripped and fell to the ground.
When she saw Ye Feiyu and Kong Xiang, a hint of joy appeared on her face, and she said urgently, "Save me, help me!"
Ye Feiyu nodded to her, and then went with Kong Xiang to deal with the disciples of the Yin Huan Sect.
Those disciples of the Yin Huan Sect were not skilled enough; they were all show and no substance, and their cultivation was very superficial. When they faced Ye Feiyu and Kong Xiang, two cultivators with very solid cultivation, they were at a disadvantage.
As a result, the disciples of the Yin Huan Sect were utterly defeated and knelt down begging for mercy.
Because they were both cultivators, and because he didn't want to commit unnecessary killings, Ye Feiyu discussed it with Kong Xiang and ultimately decided to spare the Yin Huan Sect disciples.
But, if we don't kill them, asking for some benefits isn't too much to ask, is it?
So Ye Feiyu stripped all the disciples of their storage rings and bags one by one, and then kicked each of them: "Get lost! Don't ever show your face in front of us again."
The disciples of the Yin Huan Sect fled the place in tears and scrambled to their deaths.
At this moment, Ye Feiyu turned to look at the woman in pink.
Seeing her fall to the ground, Ye Feiyu wanted to go over and help her up. However, Kong Xiang suddenly blocked his way.
When Ye Feiyu emerged from behind Kong Xiang, the woman in pink had already stood up. She patted her dusty pink dress and then greeted Ye Feiyu and Kong Xiang with a smile: "Hello! My name is Xia Zhirou. Thank you so much for saving me!"
Kong Xiang nodded lightly, while Ye Feiyu smiled sheepishly: "You're welcome, it's nothing. We just need to deal with those Yin Huan Sect disciples anyway."
"Anyway, thank you very much!" Xia Zhirou was very grateful, then she hesitated for a moment: "Um, may I come with you?"
Kong Xiang opened his mouth as if to say something, but was interrupted by Ye Feiyu's sudden words: "Okay, okay, that's fine."
So, Kong Xiang, who had intended to refuse, had no choice but to shut his mouth in frustration.
"That's great! Thank you!" Xia Zhirou was completely relieved. "I was worried that the disciples of the Yin Huan Sect would come and cause me trouble, but now it seems that I'm safe as long as I'm with you."
"Haha! They dare to come? I'll take them on one by one, and two by two if they come." Ye Feiyu said, gesturing with his hands, which made Xia Zhirou laugh.
Ye Feiyu admired this honest girl very much, and before he knew it, he had started chatting with her.
Kong Xiang stood to the side, his face dark, and his whole body exuded a sour aura.
Unfortunately, Ye Feiyu didn't notice and continued chatting happily with Xia Zhirou.
"By the way, Miss Zhirou, why were you being chased by those Yinhuan Sect disciples?" As they chatted, Ye Feiyu suddenly remembered a question and asked it.
"Tch, it's all because they're blinded by greed! I only got a piece of jade spirit marrow, and they've been chasing after me relentlessly, trying to kill me and steal my treasure!" Xia Zhirou said, her teeth itching with anger. "Luckily, I ran fast enough and eventually ran into you guys, otherwise, I don't know what would have happened!"
Xia Zhirou shuddered uncontrollably at the thought of Ye Feiyu and Kong Xiang not being there. The consequences were too terrible, so she forced herself not to imagine it and shift her attention away from it.
Ye Feiyu noticed Xia Zhirou's fear and comforted her, saying, "It's alright, it's alright. Look, you're fine now, aren't you? Don't worry, with me and Kong Xiang here, those trash from the Yin Huan Sect are no threat."
"Phew—" Xia Zhirou breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "Yes, it's alright now, thank you all."
After a series of conversations, Xia Zhirou developed a strong liking for Ye Feiyu.
Just as Ye Feiyu was about to say something to Xia Zhirou, Kong Xiang, who had been standing by as a background character, finally couldn't hold back any longer.
