Chapter 18 Not Worth It
After Yue Qiran finished explaining, she picked up the things on the ground one by one, and Zhou Xisuo's face gradually turned pale.
These things are extremely precious to them, the disciples in the Body Refining Stage. If the mission was not important and this place was not the territory of the Xujia Sect, they would not have been able to obtain these things.
Xu Zhiruo stared at her, his voice tinged with joking, "Miss Xiaoqi, this is too unethical."
She raised her head and said, "Morality? Didn't your hall master teach you not to talk about this with outsiders, especially those in the No Man's Land?"
The next second, she heard the sound of wind behind her, and she rolled to the left without hesitation. Several sharp stones fell on her previous position.
The long sword in Xu Zhiruo's hand was heading straight for her shoulder. She jumped up and faced it without dodging. At the same time as the long sword pierced her, a dagger was placed across his neck.
"If you move again, I'll kill him."
The person who was about to rush over from behind stopped instantly.
She smiled at Xu Zhiruo and said, "If your sword was aimed at my fatal spot, the situation would be completely different now."
His body was tense, but his face was calm, and he even smiled like her: "Miss Xiaoqi has great skills."
"No, they're not as good as your companions. They're only in the Body Refining Stage and can move objects through the air. This talent is good even in the Minglan Sect. It's a pity that you are too soft-hearted."
Zhou Xisuo kept silent with a sullen face. If it weren't for the limited spiritual power available, they wouldn't be in their current situation.
Xu Zhiruo slowly exhaled and said, "Miss Xiaoqi, you are seriously injured now. It will not do you any good to drag it out. But if you kill me, he won't let you go. Why don't you talk it over?"
"Talk? There's nothing to talk about. I've kept you alive until now because, firstly, I don't want to offend the Minglan Sect, and secondly, your talismans are still useful."
The voice behind him was a little exasperated: "Then you wait to die."
Yue Qiran disagreed with his words: "Mr. Zhou, this is an uninhabited border, the spiritual energy is thin. How many times can you use that move like that? To be honest, you pose no threat to me right now."
Zhou Xisuo was so angry that he didn't know how to answer, but he also knew that what she said was true.
She smiled, and was actually in the mood to chat with them: "Ming Lan Sect shouldn't have sent you here. A person who relies on spiritual energy coming to a place like this is doomed to be restricted."
His face turned purple, and Xu Zhiruo spoke for him: "Miss Xiaoqi, if you weren't so aggressive, we wouldn't want to hurt you."
This time she was silent, so he continued, "If you need these things, we can give you some, but there's a condition—you come back to Minglan Sect with us."
As soon as he said this, he immediately felt a tingling sensation in his neck. Yue Qiran said calmly, "If I go to Minglan Sect, I will kill you first."
Zhou Xisuo scolded, "How dare you! We have spiritual traces on us. Once we die, your image will be transmitted back..."
He was stuck at this point. She was wearing a cloak, so what was the point in sending it back?
Xu Zhiruo suddenly sighed, "Miss Xiaoqi, I want to find you a stable place to live within the sect's sphere of influence. After all, we've known each other for a while."
"Are you so kind?"
"It's just a life exchange. Besides, there's no deep hatred between us, so why make it like this?"
Yue Qiran sneered and said, "Then don't gather energy in your left hand. With your strength, you can't kill me even if you gather it to the extreme."
He choked and gave up this approach, but he did not give up lobbying: "Miss Xiaoqi, although we were the first to attack, we have no intention of killing you. It's just that you are too bullying."
"I only want your things. I am being magnanimous by not killing you."
Zhou Xisuo said angrily: "It's obvious that they are afraid of Minglan Sect."
She shook her head imperceptibly: "Forget it, why bother to tangle with you guys, it's so boring."
Before they could react to her meaning, the sword in Xu Zhiruo's hand was snatched away and thrown at the person behind her.
Seeing Zhou Xisuo being pierced by the long sword, his eyes were bloodshot, but he was kicked to the ground by her.
Only then did he realize how foolish it was for them to confront her.
Yue Qiran looked at him with amusement and said, "I'm already seriously injured. If you continue to chase me, you might be able to kill me. Of course, he will definitely not survive. By the way, next time, hold your sword firmly."
After saying that, she turned and left as if she was completely defenseless. Xu Zhiruo stood up without hesitation and ran towards his companions.
Yue Qiran did not go looking for the center of the formation as they had expected, but came to a cave, plundered the vitality of the original residents, and took a temporary rest there to recuperate - her spiritual veins were damaged, so there was no use for the soul-chasing talisman, and she could only wait for them to break the formation.
"Waste!" A disdainful voice sounded in his ears. It appeared again, no, it had actually appeared a long time ago, just when the "traitor" appeared.
She remained indifferent and just concentrated on bandaging the wound.
"They are from the Minglan Sect, why don't you kill them?"
Yue Qiran was impatient and said, "If you want to kill, kill those ungrateful wolves. Why kill them?"
The inner demon continued to press, "They were chasing you and ruining your plan to go to No Man's Land, but you didn't kill them? Yue Qiran, are you sick?"
"Of course you're sick, otherwise you wouldn't show up."
It ignored this and said, "Tell me, why don't you kill them?"
"It's not worth it." Yue Qiran said calmly, "They are not worth ruining my future stable life. What's more, I still have to rely on them to get out."
"You actually think you can have a stable life? You actually yearn for a stable life? This is ridiculous, this is a joke!"
She finally bandaged her wounds and began to face her inner demons: "I just want to live like an ordinary person, why not?"
It sneered a few times and stopped talking.
Yue Qiran suddenly asked a question: "Are you really my inner demon?"
"What else could I be?"
She frowned at it and said, "Logically speaking, I just want to be an ordinary person now. Even if I have inner demons, I shouldn't be like you."
It smiled, its face, identical to hers, full of charm: "Are you sure you want a normal life?"
"certainly."
"Yue Qiran, I am you. Don't act so nonchalant in front of me. I know you still have resentment in your heart, and I also know that you have murderous intentions towards them. Why don't you follow your heart?"
She pointed at her harvest and replied, "I've said it before, no matter how bad I am, I won't be controlled by my inner demons. You can go now."
"You'll regret this."
Seeing the inner demon disappear, she couldn't help but smile. Regret? What was there for her to regret?
Yes, she had resentment and hatred, but she was too tired after these two hundred years.
