"There must be a way, there must be!" Zu'an kept comforting her, as if he were comforting himself as well.
Qiao Xueying had completely lost consciousness by this time, but her hands were still tightly gripping his clothes on his chest, as if only in this way could she feel at ease to faint.
Every time Zu'an sensed that Shi Lezhi was about to get closer, he would immediately blurt out, "What are you looking at?"
Shi Lezhi had no choice but to reply with "What are you looking at?"
He took advantage of this gap to increase the distance slightly, but this was only the most unexpected thing at the beginning. After a few times, Shi Lezhi was prepared and the impact was minimal.
Finally, Zuan ran into a secluded courtyard and stopped, panting heavily.
Shi Lezhi also stopped a few feet away, and slowly walked towards him while sneering, "Run, why aren't you running anymore?"
The opponent's chaotic methods made him somewhat wary, so he didn't rush over directly. Instead, he first spread out his aura to investigate the surroundings. He didn't find any traps or other cultivators, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
He chuckled to himself, thinking that he had really made himself a little nervous by this guy. No matter how many tricks he had up his sleeve, his cultivation was only at the third rank. What big waves could he possibly stir up?
Zuan revealed a mysterious smile: "The reason I ran just now was to choose a quiet burial place for you. Now that there's no one around and the location has been chosen, there's no need to run anymore."
"This place is full of birdsong and fragrant flowers, with a gentle breeze. It's an auspicious burial site. You should thank me."
Shi Lezhi: "..."
He didn't know if he had misheard or if this guy was mentally challenged, and he didn't know where he got the confidence to say such things.
Anger from a madman +666!
"Do you think I'll fall for that again?" Shi Lezhi said coldly. He had just been fooled by Shi Lezhi's bluff and still felt ashamed when he thought about it. He was not about to make the same mistake twice.
Just then, a shaky figure emerged from the nearby cabin: "What's going on? Why is it so noisy?"
Shi Lezhi frowned and looked back. He saw an old, decrepit flower farmer standing there, with a small hoe hanging from his waist. His body was as withered as a dried orange peel.
What's going on? He just checked the area within dozens of feet and there was no one else there.
However, there was no fluctuation of vital energy on the other party, so he quickly felt relieved, thinking that he was just an ordinary old man.
So he ignored the other person and looked at Zuan instead, sneering, "You're just dragging another person to their death."
Zuan hurriedly hid behind the flower farmer: "Senior, this guy not only wants to kill me, but he also doesn't respect you."
The flower farmer was none other than Old Man Mi. He had just run for his life, not aimlessly, but directly towards Old Man Mi's residence. Mi Li was unreliable, and now he was probably the only one in the entire Chu family who could save people.
"Your method of sowing discord is not very clever." Old Man Mi frowned, clearly quite dissatisfied with his actions of leading people here to expose himself.
Zuan chuckled awkwardly: "He really didn't take his seniors seriously."
Hearing the conversation between the two, Shi Lezhi was startled and couldn't help but take a deep look at Old Man Mi. But the other man's body, which looked like it could be blown away by a gust of wind, showed no trace of cultivation.
After a long while, he finally realized what was happening and sneered, "Trying to bluff here again, waiting for reinforcements to arrive?"
He could already hear the commotion at the Chu residence in the distance. Clearly, the Chu family's defenses, which had been temporarily dormant, were awakening. He didn't want a direct confrontation with the Chu family and planned to finish the battle quickly, taking Zu An and Qiao Xueying out of the area immediately.
As for that old flower farmer, just kill him. Such an ant is a waste of food to have him alive.
Old Man Mi completely ignored him, instead focusing his gaze on the woman in Zu An's arms: "Who is she? Hmm, Xue'er?"
Having lived in the Chu family for so many years, he naturally recognized Xue'er.
Zu An nodded hastily: "Yes, yes, this guy broke in and kidnapped the women in the manor, so naturally I couldn't just stand by and do nothing, so he tried to kill me too."
"Hasn't Xue'er already betrayed the Chu family?" Old Man Mi snorted, directly exposing his lie. "What exactly happened?"
Zu An replied sheepishly, "The other party is from the Shi family, and they are here to hunt us down."
He dared not say that the other party was there to pursue Xue'er, fearing that Old Man Mi would stand idly by. But as his half-disciple, he couldn't just ignore it.
"The Shi family~" Old Man Mi narrowed his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
"Are you two ever going to stop this back-and-forth?" Shi Lezhi was already impatient. "You old geezer, get out of my way, or I'll let you die a little more easily."
Old Man Mi sighed deeply: "I never thought that after so many years, there would still be so many frogs in a well in the cultivation world. A mere eighth-rank cultivator is so arrogant."
"How did you know..." Shi Lezhi's heart skipped a beat, and he no longer dared to underestimate the seemingly ordinary flower farmer in front of him.
He scanned the other party with his aura again, but still got no results. There were only three possibilities: either the other party's cultivation was far superior to his; or he was indeed an ordinary person; or he had some kind of magical artifact that could conceal his aura.
After thinking it over, Shi Lezhi concluded that the last possibility was more likely. After all, the other party's composure and ability to discern his cultivation level at a glance did not seem like that of an ordinary person.
The other party's cultivation level is far higher than his, how is that possible!
When did rank 8 become so worthless?
