Luo Jiujiang: “…”
Xie Chuncan was filled with resentment when he mentioned this: "I really did go too far before. If I ask them to thank me, I would be shameless. Although we fought side by side once, it was also due to the situation. It's normal for them to want to kill me. I understand it very well. If they just challenged me to a fight, I wouldn't refuse."
"But at least when they pass by and watch me being chased by a group of bastards and jumping around, Feng Ren should not throw that sword at my vest. When I am caught in a trap, Feng Ren should not rush over and shovel dirt on my face. When I finally have time to breathe and eat some dry food, Feng Ren should not climb up to the treetop above my head and sprinkle poisonous weeds..."
Luo Jiujiang: “…”
He quickly said, "Brother Xie, you've said this before. Miss Xiao Ren is a stubborn person." Her mind had been manipulated, and perhaps she still believed Xie Chuncan was their enemy. She probably only remembered the arrow Xie Chuncan shot at Feng Xue, and couldn't understand what Xie Chuncan's move to turn around and defend the pass meant.
"Of course I know." Xie Chuncan said bitterly, "If it weren't for this, do you think I wouldn't force Feng Ren to eat my entire tube of arrows?"
"It was half a year later when I finally escaped from being hunted by everyone. By then, I had already..."
"He's turned into a madman." Luo Jiujiang said sincerely, "Don't thank me for being too self-deprecating. I can already see that."
Xie Chuncan: “…”
Xie Chuncan smiled and said, "Jiujiang is the youngest foundation-building cultivator I have ever seen in my life, bar none."
"Thank you for the award, brother."
"I don't mean to compliment you." The smile on Xie Chuncan's lips grew deeper and deeper. "I mean, if you say something like that again, you'll become the earliest Foundation Establishment cultivator to die that I've ever seen, bar none."
Luo Jiujiang: “…”
Without Luo Jiujiang's deliberate teasing, Xie Chuncan was able to continue his story smoothly. "Of course, the incidents during that six months didn't particularly sour our relationship. They also stood guard for me and helped distract pursuers... After the pursuit of me ended, they settled in the mountains to the south, and I visited them several times."
Combining the content on the stone tablet and his understanding of Xie Chuncan, Luo Jiujiang had reason to suspect that Xie Chuncan had beautified his actions. He should have harassed Feng Xue and the others several times, just like Xiao Ren had done before.
"If that's the case, I don't understand why Brother Xie didn't become friends with Miss Feng Xue and the others?" He would even call the other person a lunatic from a distance.
"You think everyone in the world has your personality," Xie Chuncan said angrily, "Even if I threw you into a deserted wilderness, you could dig a hole and find a brother named Luo Bagou to chat with and make friends with."
Seeing Luo Jiujiang choked, Xie Chuncan continued, "My later disagreement with Feng Xue was due to other reasons... To borrow her words, I pity her misfortune and am angry at her for not fighting back."
At this point, Xie Chuncan's eyes darkened, as if recalling some unpleasant memories: "She didn't deliberately hide this matter, but few people here know... The master of this Lianhuan Realm is actually Feng Xue's biological father."
Luo Jiujiang opened his eyes wide in shock.
————————
Xie Chuncan personally sent Luo Jiujiang to the edge of the stone tablet.
Although both used a move that almost drained all the spiritual energy in their body, Xie Chuncan recovered as normal in just one night, while Luo Jiujiang still felt dryness and pain in his meridians when practicing. The difference between the accumulated foundation of the fourth and first levels of foundation building was immediately apparent.
At first, Luo Jiujiang walked slowly, so Xie Chuncan simply carried him on his back for a while. Along the way, Luo Jiujiang found some random conversation, but perhaps because Luo Jiujiang's repeated tangents to Han Qianling were annoying, Xie Chuncan put Luo Jiujiang down when he heard the part about the "red rope conch" and stared at him for a long time with an ambiguous expression.
"Thank you, brother?"
"I thought it was just the Prince of Xiang's vague intentions and the goddess's heartlessness, but I didn't expect you two to be such fools."
"Brother Xie has never met Qian Ling. It's not nice to belittle him like this." Luo Jiujiang said unhappily.
"Don't worry." Xie Chuncan sighed, "I know you are much dumber than him."
Luo Jiujiang: “…”
To prevent Luo Jiujiang from failing to achieve his goal and being swiftly attacked by Lu Qi's men, Xie Chuncan stayed with him even after Luo Jiujiang recovered. He didn't leave until they reached the stone edge. With a familiar touch, Xie Chuncan struck the snow, revealing the stone tablet that read "No one but Xie Chuncan is allowed to enter." Only then did he stop.
"Go in, I'll wait here for Feng Xue's invitation." Xie Chuncan raised his chin to indicate, "I roughly know why Feng Xue sent you away for seven days. If I go in now, Xiao Ren will pierce me into a sieve even if he dies."
Luo Jiujiang turned his head and glanced at Xie Chuncan suspiciously, suspecting that he was hinting to him, "Go and die, and let anyone else take the blame."
A moment later, Luo Jiujiang crossed the stone edge. This time, there was no Xiaoren girl suddenly jumping out to beat him, nor was there Feng Xue dragging the stone lock to mediate. Everything was incredibly calm, but Luo Jiujiang felt a sense of foreboding.
There was no sign of human life in the vast snowy landscape, so Luo Jiujiang could only move forward slowly, not missing any movement around him. He had already practiced sound killing, and was more sensitive to sound than the average person. Because of this, the faint sound of human voices in the distance, muffled by the wind and snow, made him shudder.
After running at full speed for half a minute, Luo Jiujiang stopped in front of the cave the two of them were staying in. Even though he had expected it when he heard the sound, Luo Jiujiang still found it difficult to accept the scene before him.
